Youve got mail-Chapter 6-Unexpected feelings and The love potion.

The Christmas season was in full swing at Hogwarts. The Christmas trees were up in the great hall, The amour statues singing "Winter Wonderland" and "Jingle Bells", and bewitched mistletoe, luring unsuspected victims. Hermione and Draco had almost finished their Love potion, and were adding the final ingredients.
"Have you added the Fluxweed?" Asked Hermione.
"Yes" Replied Draco
"Mooncalf's hair?"
"Yes"
"Ashwinders egg?"
"Yes"
"Now for the final Item"
They both reached for the same jar. As their hands touched, Hermione felt an electric jolt run through her body. As did Draco. She released her grip, and let Draco pour in the liquid. The potion began to bubble merrily and turn a beautiful shade of pink.
"There. It should be done by tomorrow" She said Happily.
"Good. Have you got the notes?" Said Draco.
"Yes." She answered.
There was a moments silence.
"You know what Granger?" Said Draco finally.
"What?"
"This wasn't so bad after all" He said with a grin.
Her face broke into a grin.
"I agree. Maybe we should do this more often" She said with a smirk.
"I wouldn't go that far" He said smirking back.
"Sure you would. After a couple of days, you'll miss me" She said playfully. She couldn't believe it. She was flirting with Malfoy!
Draco deiced to play along.
"Oh of course I would. Ill stand outside the Gryffindor Common Room, and Serenade you" He said laughing. He was enjoying this.
Hermione chucked some soap studs from the clean cauldron at Draco. He chucked some back, and soon, there was a full-on soap stud war. After ten minutes, they both collapsed onto the fall, laughing. Draco stood up and pulled Hermione up with him. He smiled and noticed there was a soap stud on her nose. He gently brushed it off her face. She felt so soft!. Their eyes met for a moment, until Draco spoke up.
"I..-better go to Quidditch practice"
"See you... around I suppose" She replied uncertainly
"See you.."
And he walked slowly off to the Quidditch pitch.
Hermione headed up to her Dorm, and sat on her favorite spot by the window with "Green Eggs and Ham". She sighed and began reading. A moment later, a familiar blonde figure was walking out side.
"Damn…I wish I was your lover.." she sang absentmindedly. She gasped and threw her hand over mouth, suddenly realizing what she just said.
" I cannot love Malfoy" She told herself firmly.
She deiced to go email Darth Vader.

Darthy,

Have you ever loved someone you're not suppose to love? Or had to choose between two people?. If you haven't, be glad. Do you believe in true love? I do. But I wonder if ill ever find it. What about opposites attract?.

Greeny

She sighed and went back to Green eggs and ham.

~"*"~''*''~

After Quidditch practice, Draco headed to the great hall for dinner. As he was eating, he glanced over to where she was sitting. He studied her for a moment. She was sitting with Potty and Weasel looking happy and laughing.
"She is so beautiful…" he thought distantly.
After realizing what he thought, he mentally slapped himself. How could HE fall in love with Granger?
"It would never work out" He thought sorrowfully. "With Father..and the Slytherins..and Pansy" He thought with a look of disgust on his face. Just then, a large black owl dropped a letter in front of Draco and one on Pansy's lap. Draco's face paled. He opened it gingerly.

Draco,

How dare you defy my wishes. You Will come home for Christmas whether you like it or not. I don't know what crazy idea Dumbledore has put into your head, you are coming home. We have two special little ceremonies to plan. One of these is your marriage to Pansy.

Father.

There was another piece of parchment attached.

Hi Draco!

Are you having fun at Hogwarts? Its lonely without you at home. Mum and I made cookies while Father was out. Don't tell him though!. We read his owl to you too. I don't want you to marry Pansy. She's Horrid.

Love
Cathy.

PS Mum adds this
Hi Darling
We will try worm your way out of marriage. How is school? I hope you are behaving. Met any girls?. We heard about the ball.Ill try get your Father to compromise on it, But you know how he is..

Love
Mum.

Draco tucked that piece away in his pocket. Before he could even think about the other piece, Pansy came running from the other end of the table, squealing.

"Oh Drakey! This is so wonderful!!" She squealed and draped her arms over Draco.
"Get OFF me Pansy. And I REFUSE to marry you" He glared.
Pansy immediately backed off and her eyes narrowed. She was about to say something, but Draco shunned her, and went up to his dorm. He punched his pillow. He was mad. He was mad at his father for betrothing him, mad at Hermione for being so out of reach, mad at And Snape for the potions assignment tomorrow. He took a deep breath, and logged onto his Lap top. Maybe Greeny could help.
"You've got mail"

Darthy,

Have you ever loved someone you're not suppose to love? Or had to choose between two people?. If you haven't, be glad. Do you believe in true love? I do. But I wonder if ill ever find it. What about opposites attract?.

Greeny

He typed his reply.

Greeny,
If opposites attracted, I wouldn't be in the situation I am now. I understand about the whole love thing too. I hate betrothing. Who would want to be betrothed? It may have worked for Sleeping Beauty, but it Certainly wouldn't for me.
("Which is true" he said to himself)

Darthy.

He switched off, and crawled into bed. Maybe tomorrow will hold greater things.

As Hermione and Draco took their seats, they were both equally feeling nervous. Hermione went over her notes, while Draco when over the potion, to make sure they made no mistakes. Suddenly, and awful thought struck Hermiones mind. They had forgotten a vital piece of information.
"Draco, I think we-"
But Professor Snape was standing at the front of the room.
"I hope you are all ready to present your assignment's to the class and myself" He sneered. "Hmm..who should we start with first….Malfoy and Granger"
"Oh, but profess-" Hermione started to say
"No buts. Up here now" He replied with a smirk on his face.
Draco gave her a questioning look, but started with the presentation.
They both read aloud their notes, and progress. When they had finished, they both made moves to go back to their seats, but Snape stopped them.
"Aren't you both forgetting something" He asked with his eyes glittering maliciously.
Draco and Hermione extange worried glances.
"You are both suppose to test the potion for us. That w show whether you made it correctly"
Draco mentally slapped himself. (A/n again, I know..) That's what Hermione had been trying to say!.
"Sow now, if you would both please demonstrate" He sneered again , handing them their bottle of brilliant, rosy pink liquid and to glasses.
Hermione slowly poured two cups and handed one to Draco. They extanged nervous smiles. The whole room was silent. No one could believe that Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were taking a love potion!
"Cheers" Draco said lamely and they both swallowed the liquid. The looked at each other, and a warm happy feeling, climbed up from their toes. Hermione desperately wanted to embrace Draco, and Draco wanted to take Hermione in his arms and kiss her. They stared at each other.
"It looks like you two have made the potion correctly" Snape smirked. "Otherwise, you'd be jumping on each other like animals. As Miss Granger stated, the potion can last from 4 weeks, to 4 months, if their love is true love, it will last forever. Now, What Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger are experiencing is heavy pining. You may resume your seats."
"So this is what its like to be in love" Thought Draco. "Its not bad. I can live with it". As potions ended, there were people asleep, behaving like animals, and even flying. As Draco headed up to his dorm, he thought of Hermione. Apart from the love potion, he liked her a lot. Then he thought about Greeny. He liked her too. He was still pondering on that thought when he entered his room to find his Father's owl at the foot of his bed.

A/n- Super duper long chappy today! I hope you all enjoy!. I deiced to take a different spin on the love potion wheel (Wow, I made a pun, I think LoL). The Ashwinders egg, is an actual ingredient to love potions too.
