Tonic Mistake

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All right! That was it! Draco couldn't help but get an intense feeling that someone was following him. The nerve of some people, following him! He swore that the feeling was getting more and more severe and he couldn't help but be conscious. He was alone because he had lost Crabbe and Goyle in one of the after-classes, which was over-flowing with students wanting to get out of the daunting place called classroom.

They just finished concocting something in Potions class and unfortunately Hermione was his partner. Strange though, he thought to himself, he had to drink the potion. They were supposed to be testing it but drink the whole bottle? Ron was Harry's partner as he witnessed. He too drank the whole thing. Everybody was supposed to and it actually tasted quite good for a potion. Nevertheless, he caught a glimpse of Harry before he drank the bottle. How he wanted to poison that boy.

He looked right then to his left. No one was there except for a couple of Gryffindors talking. Wait a minute; he stopped for a moment. Wasn't that Hermione Granger? He shook his head and squinted his eyes. Yeah, it is. He checked out the others that she was with. As he expected she was with Ron Weasley and… Neville? Again he looked right and left. Where was Harry?

He blinked. Why was he looking for Harry? He didn't care that he was here at all, did he? No, he shook his head. It was probably just because it was new for him that Harry wasn't around Draco. Yeah, that must be the reason, he insisted on himself. He walked a few more minutes and stopped infront of a window. His eyes were looking over the field where they played Quidditch. 

There was Oliver Wood. He saw him talking to Neville. Draco blinked. How did Neville get there so fast? Nevertheless it's not Neville he's worried about, it's Harry. Draco's eyes bulged out of its sockets. He was worried about Harry? He smacked his head. Off to the infirmary, he went. He thought he was getting sick… in the head.

He passed the passages that he had to, to get to the infirmary when he suddenly had that strange feeling that someone was looking at him again. Not only one pair, he felt his intuition say, there was more. Still, he continued his conquest to the infirmary but then his instinct got the best of him and he stopped. He looked around again but no one seemed to be in sight. He sighed and went on walking.

He just passed a couple of more students who were in the hallway near the moving staircases. Strange, he thought as his eyes stopped for a moment to a boy. He only caught a quick glance on the young man and then was already enclosed by a couple of more students. He swore that the boy was Oliver Wood. But he had just seen the Gryffindor Captain just talk to Neville a while back.  He continued on and left for the infirmary.

Before he left, he heard whispers but was too tired suddenly to even pay attention to it. He suddenly felt like sleeping through the whole day. He thought that he might just be worn-out and was hallucinating about the whole idea. He continued his way, walking slow but sure steps. The last thing he did before he was completely out of sight was yawn.

Three people came up to Oliver after Draco left and each wore a very worried face. It was Hermione, Ron and Seamus. Oliver nodded and shook his head and indicated that he had just seen Draco. They nodded back and one sighed in frustration.

"I heard about it from Neville." Oliver said

"Yeah, we told him to tell you." Ron said.

"So…" Oliver started, "that's what happened?"

All three nodded their heads.

"Exactly how he said?"

"If he said what we did, then yes." Hermione stated. It seemed the other two agree with this as they nodded their heads. One was obviously very worried about the out-come of the dreaded mistake they've made. Oliver wasn't exactly there but from the way Neville told it… it wasn't pretty.

"His fault?" Pointing to one of those infront of him. It was no surprise: It's Ron. Both took a long look at him with a face then faced back to Oliver with assuring and nodding heads, "Yes."

"That bad, huh?"

"Well, if someone didn't have to have such clumsiness, maybe we could have avoided this!" Hermione said in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Alright already! Enough of the quilt trip…"

"Anyway, we don't have time for this. Where did he go?" Seamus intervened.

Oliver motioned for the stairway. "I think he'll be going to the infirmary."

"Oka~ay… What?!?" All three sounded surprised. Their eyes grew and their jaws dropped down.

"The Infirmary…?" Oliver stated in a awkward tone. "You know… The place where you go when you're hurt."

"We know that!"

"Then what?"

The silence was deafening but nobody talked and Oliver felt like a stupid statue talking and asking without getting an answer.

"Do you know where Harry is?" One of them asked all of a sudden.

"Yes," Oliver answered.

"Where is he?"

"Well…"

"Yeah?"

"He's in the infirmary."

"Oh, no!"

Oliver's eyes widened as he got the reason why they were so fidgety. "You don't think the effects will come so soon, do you?"

"I don't know…"

"What!!!" One voice almost shrieked. "You were the one who made that and you don't know?!?"

The boy shook his head, "…didn't measure."

"Oh, Gre~eat."

"What happened to the potion anyway? What is it?" Oliver asked which turned all their attention to him.

"Neville didn't tell you?"

"No, he just said that it's something dreadful."

Someone came running. It was Neville. He came to them before they could say another word. "What's up Neville?"

Neville was panting very hard. "I--- just--- checked--- out--- the---infirmary."

"What happened?" All became interested.

Neville swallowed a lump in his throat. "They didn't see each other…"

"That's good." And the others sighed in relief.

"Their rooms are connected…"

"What?!?!" They all groaned.

They started running to the infirmary. Oliver followed them and continued to what the potion they did by mistake is and what exactly did they made Harry and Draco drink.

All four stopped and turned to him and in whispered words they answered back.

"Love Potion."
