Authors Note: Thank you to my three reviewers, Nichole Malfoy, Kandy and
Yazethet. I'm glad you like the story enough to review it! Here's your next
chapter. Forgive me if it's not long...my chapters are usually always short
and to-the-point.
Chapter Two
After dinner, Ginny and Emily headed to Gryffindor Tower. "I can't wait to go back to sleep in the dormitory," Emily said sleepily, "That's the thing I missed about this place."
"Me too," Ginny agreed, "My bed at home is okay, but the ones here are much better."
When they reached the portrait hole, Neville Longbottom was standing in front of it.
"Hello, Neville!" Emily called cheerily, "What are you doing just standing out here?"
Neville looked desperately at the two girls walking towards him. "I seem to have forgotten the password....Do either of you remember it?"
"It's 'garish nut.'" Emily reminded him.
"Thank you so much, Emily!" Neville exclaimed. He recited the password, and the portrait of the fat lady swung open.
"It's no problem." Emily said, stepping in behind Neville, Ginny behind her.
There were already a few people in the common room. Most of them were trying to catch up on the homework they'd forgotten to do over the Christmas holiday.
"Are you heading up to bed?" Neville asked.
Emily nodded. "We're very tired."
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then," Neville said, "Goodnight, Emily."
Emily smiled. "Goodnight."
Neville began to walk off to one of the armchairs. Emily and Ginny looked at each other, both of them thinking the same thing. "Um," Ginny said, "Goodnight, Neville."
Neville turned around. "Oh...Ginny, I didn't notice you there. Goodnight."
"What was that?" Emily asked as she and Ginny walked up the stairs to the 5th year girl's dormitories.
"I don't know...." Ginny admitted, "How could Neville just...not notice me?"
"Well, you know Neville. He's always kind of out of it."
"That is true...." Ginny shrugged, "Whatever. I guess it's nothing."
***
It wasn't nothing. Ginny soon found that out. The next day at breakfast, Ginny sat across from Collin and he didn't as much as glance over at her. Then, at Potions, a Slytherin boy who always used to sit next to her and flirt, Zeke Henson, only nodded at her as he walked in. Then he went to sit down next to Landon Poll, another Slytherin boy who would spend his class time staring at Ginny.
"I don't know what's going on, Em...." Ginny told her friend at lunch, "I've never been ignored by a guy in my life."
Emily sighed. "Come on, Ginny. It happens to the best of us. Sometimes guys just...stop being interested."
"When has it ever happened to you?" Ginny snapped, "Last I checked no guys have ever had a crush on you."
Emily glared at her. "That was low, Weasley...." She picked up her books, "Really, really low. And I hope for everyone's sake your beauty never comes back. I'd hate to see anyone here suffer with you."

Draco watched from afar as Ginny Weasley and her friend, Emma or Emily something, fought.
His mothers potion had worked....Draco had asked a numerous amount of Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw boys what they thought of Ginny when she was in sight. Most of their faces lit up at first, but when they looked over at her, those smiles faded and they shrugged their shoulders.
"She's alright," A Hufflepuff had said, "But I wouldn't date her. There are way better girls in this school."
That had pretty much summed it up. Narcissa would be pleased. She was once again the most beautiful woman in the wizarding world....
But the more Draco watched Ginny, the more he himself became attracted to her. Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around? Wasn't he supposed to feel absolutely nothing? Wasn't her beauty stolen with those drops of potion in her water the night before?
That night after classes, instead of going to the Great Hall for dinner, Draco went up to his room and took out the book his mother had found the potion in. There, written at the bottom, it read:
"If pity is felt, then the spell will be reversed on this person and he or she will find themselves attracted to the person that was given the potion."
Authors Note: A very...dumb ending to a chapter. Yeah, yeah, I didn't think it all the way through. LOL! I'll try harder next time. Please review my kiddies.
