Hermione's Summer! By Aphrodite

Thank you to the ONE person who reviewed, Evyfleur if there is ever anything you want me to write just let me know and I will write it for you. As long as it is not an Hr/Dm or Hr/Ss, I just don't think I can make myself do those. ^_^

Guess what? The beginning Percy's experiment is in this chapter and I think it will be rather interesting. Let me know what you think.

Happy Reading.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 8

Everyone gathered into the Weasley 's living room, Ron and Hermione sitting as far apart as possible with out being in separate rooms. Percy was standing up in front of the fireplace, as soon as Ginny and Hermione walked and sat down, he began speaking.

"As you know, I am going to be conducting an experiment dealing with love potions. I have asked some of you to be apart of them, and now I am going to ask the rest of you, can all of you be apart of this experiment?"

"Sure Percy, as long as I don't have to love you." George spoke up in the back of the room.

"Yeah, and I prefer to love someone I am not related to, and that's not male please." Fred added as him and George looked over the content of the room. Hermione looked around she was the only one in the room that wasn't a Weasley and she really didn't need the entire Weasley household in love with her, even if it was false love.

"Well I am going to take care of that, I asked Angelina Johnson, Lavender Brown, and Katie Bell to help out also. Harry will be arriving tomorrow also and I plan to ask him to join it as well."

Ginny and Fred's faces flushed, which went unnoticed by Percy, who continued talking. "Tonight I will make the love potion and decide who will be attracted to whom. I will distribute them in the morning when the others arrive. You will have no idea who you are attracted to. Only I will know. I will give you the counter potion in 1 week from tomorrow. Thank you that is all."

The meeting soon broke up, and Hermione made her way over to the twins and Charlie to tell them hi since she didn't have the chance to earlier. "Hi Fred, George, Charlie, How are you guys?"

Fred turned around and smiled, "We are wonderful, but you, my poor girl. How are you? Did our stupid brother make you sad? We will not allow him to mess with our best employee that way."

"No we will not have it. We are going to have to talk to him aren't we Fred?"

"We are, George, we are!" With that the twins turned around and marched off looking for their little brother. Hermione watched them as they ran off saying, "Where is the family idiot at, we need to have a talk about pissing off our favorite employee."

Hermione turned back to Charlie who was standing there watching his brothers. "Well, How is Norbert doing in Romania? Hagrid is rather worried about him still."

"Norbert is doing very well, he is much larger than the last time you saw him. Ron has some pictures of him. He took them to give to Hagrid. I think he may give you one also."

"No I don't think Ron will give me any thing, as you saw a little while ago, we are not on talking terms at the moment."

"Don't worry Hermione, every thing will turn out fine. Just give my brother a chance, he will grow up and realize that he is just being immature."

"I know Charlie. Well I think I am going to go and find Ginny and ask her about something. Bye now and it was good seeing you again." Hermione went off in search for the youngest Weasley. She found her outside sitting down under the tree where Hermione was sleeping earlier.

"Hey Ginny, I saw you walk out after the 'meeting' and I wanted to make sure you were ok."

"Yeah I am fine, but I am worried about this experiment, I mean Percy wouldn't do something stupid, would he?"

Hermione laughed at her friend, "Come on Ginny, Percy and stupid do not belong in the same sentence."

Ginny brightened, "You know you are right, nothing could go wrong and if it does I am sure between the two of us we could find a counter potion to this love potion right?"

"Right. No lets go in and see if you mom wants help making dinner."

(An: This section will be will through Percy, then Ron. It has to be that way for the thing to work out!)

Percy was sitting at his desk in his room, looking over the notes for his experiment. For his potion to work he will need a piece of every ones hair to add to the potion he was going to give to the person that is to fall in love with them. (An: Do you understand? Here try this. So if Percy wanted Fred to fall in love with George he would add George's hair to Fred's potion.) This is what he finally came up with.

Hair Who will drink it Ron Lavender George Katie Fred Angelina Katie George Ginny Harry Hermione Bill Percy Hermione Angelina Fred Lavender Ron Sugar Percy Sugar Ginny

Percy worked on the potion for about two hours. When he was done he split it up onto 11 containers. Afterward he took all the hair he had collected earlier that evening and the hair the girls mailed him and added them to 9 of the potions, making sure to tape a sheet of paper on the container saying who's hair was in it, and which two were the placebos potions.

After he finished with that he took a different color sheet of paper and wrote on it, who should drink the potion. He taped that sheet of paper underneath the other one. Finally he was finished. He took them all down to the kitchen and laid them out on the kitchen counter. 'Everyone else is asleep, and I get up before anyone else, so they will be safe until morning. I hope Hermione realizes that I am perfect for her. Oh well we will see. Now I am off to bed.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ We are switching over to Ron now!

Around 2:45 in the morning Ron awoke and went down stairs to get a warm glass of milk, as a child it was the only thing that could get him to sleep when he was sick. When he reached the kitchen he noticed several jars of liquid on the counter. He walked over and began to inspect them. After a few minutes he realized it was Percy's love potion, so he decided to look and see who was getting what hair. He was going to help his sister out and give Harry Ginny's hair.

When looked over the potions, he noticed that Percy's had made couples except for Bill and Hermione. 'I wonder why Percy didn't make Bill and Hermione a couple, that's kind of odd. I wonder could he like her? Na he has got Penelope. Now what's the fun in making couples anyways, love potions are no good if you can't cause some chaos. Now lets mix these up some.'

Ron worked for 30 minutes deciding who will be with whom. When he was done he was quite pleased with himself, he was going to enjoy the next few weeks. This is how he mixed up the love potions.

Hair Who will drink it Ron Hermione George Angelina Fred Percy Katie Lavender Ginny Harry Hermione Bill Percy Katie Angelina Fred Lavender George Sugar Ron Sugar Ginny

Ron had his own reasons for wanting Hermione to have the potion with his hair in it, but wouldn't admit it to anyone. It was common knowledge that Fred fancied Angelina, so Ron thought it would be funny for Angelina to fancy George. As for the next week, he was going to have the time of his life, or so he thought.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ That's all for now folks. I should update soon, I promise. And it only gets better from here on in. If you want to see anything let me know and I can see what I can work out.

Also this is not a Ginny/Harry fic. I just thought I would add that little thing in, but will not be expanded on.
