Chapter 19: Christmas Dinner
Ginny watched Draco as he left, and Hermione sighed.
"What's wrong 'Mione?"
"I just really hope this spell works. If it doesn't work, I don't want to know what will happen if Lucius finds out about you and Draco."
"I hope it works, too. I have a pretty good idea of what Lucius would do, and I have a feeling that it's not going to be pretty."
"Yea, I know," Hermione sighed.
"So, how long does that spell last anyway?"
"It will last forever. Because Draco is going to say "Weasley Family," the memory of you and your family escapes his mind forever."
"That's great! I really hope it works!"
"Me, too."

Ten minutes later, everyone had entered the hall, and were eating Christmas dinner.
Draco sat next to his father, who was sitting next to Professor Snape. Dumbledore sat on Snape's right, and next to Dumbledore sat Professor Mc Gonagall, Profesor Trelawney, Professor Binns, and about 15 other Professors. On the other side of Draco sat a fellow seventh year Slytherin whom Draco had never spoken to before. Next to him sat two Ravenclaw girls, three Hufflepuffs, and finally Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and Colin.
Draco was busy talking to the Slytherin sitting next to him. He tried his best to keep his eyes and mind off of Ginny.
Ginny was talking to Colin about museums and pictures, while Harry, Hermione, and Ron were talking about quidditch.
Lucius was speaking with Snape quietly, whispering things back and forth.
Everybody was happily eating and chatting away.
'This is harder than it sounded,' Draco thought. 'How am I supposed to put it in his drink when EVERYONE is here around the table looking?!'
Just then, Dumbledore asked to speak with all of the Professors and Lucius for a moment alone. They walked toward the room connecting to the Great Hall. Draco noticed that it was the same room all the champions from the Triwizard tournament had entered three years ago after their names had been pulled out from the goblet of fire.
The boy Draco had been talking to, excused himself to go to the bathroom.
Draco looked around to see that everyone had resumed their chatting and were'nt paying attention to anyone but themselves and what they were talking about.
'This is my chance,' Draco thought.
He quickly and quietly took the tablet out of his robe pocket, whispered, "Weasley Family," and slipped the tablet into his father's drink, which boiled for a moment, and then quickly dissolved.
The Slytherin boy entered the Great Hall a few minutes later, and Draco and him continued their conversation about how Slytherin was the best house and that it deserved to win the House Cup. Draco didn't like this conversation because despite what everyone thought about him, he believed all the houses were unique and which ever house won, deserved it.
Five minutes later, all the Professors re-entered the Great Hall, but Lucius hadn't come with them.
'Oh no,' was all Draco could think.
