I, ME, MY LOVE POTION EGGS!
Chapter II: Fatal Attraction
Ron stood outside Hermione's room, battling himself if he would go inside or not. Hermione would not lock herself up just for a stupid love potion egg. She'd rather fall in love with any guy than leave her homeworks unattended. But the thought of Hermione falling for other guys pained Ron. And he knew the reason why…
What if she fell for someone she didn't even know? What if she falls for a great prat, like Malfoy? The thought made him want to puke. And worse, what if she fell for someone that will not like her back? Ron couldn't endure seeing Hermione heartbroken just because of that stupid egg. "She'd better have me then." He raised his knuckles to knock but a part of him stopped him.
I don't want her to love me just because of a potion.
He stood there for a moment and stared at the door blankly. Then after a few minutes of silence he cleared his throat.
"Hermione, are you awake?" Ron heard a soft grumbling inside the room.
"Ron?"
"Don't open the door, I'll talk to you from here," he snapped when he heard her footsteps coming. "So, did Ginny explain everything?"
"Yeah."
"So, I suppose you don't want to hide there forever."
"There's no antidote right?"
"Yeah, but we will not deprive you your right to live normally."
"Thanks."
"Who's the person you like?"
"What?"
"I said, who's the person you like, you fancy."
"Ron don't pester me with such questions now!"
"But it's the only way! Tell me who is it, and then he'll be the first guy you'll see. You don't have to worry about the potion, you like him anyway so it will be okay."
"Ron..."
There was a long pause. Ron's heart was beating faster. 'It's the only way,' he thought again. If she would see the person she liked then it wouldn't matter, not a new feeling for her anyway because she already liked that guy. It was the only fair solution.
His mind was racing. Who could it be? Hermione was quite secretive, especially when it came to her love life. She hadn't confided to him or to Harry about a guy she liked. She even tried to hide her little crush on Professor Lockhart and of course, her relationship with Krum.
Could it be Krum then? But he was in Bulgaria! It would take him days to arrive in London! But maybe he could already apparate, Ron thought. So Hermione would fall madly in love with Krum in just a few minutes. Ron's knees soften. He couldn't stand the idea. Hermione and Krum? But he was too old for her! Ron wished that Hermione really didn't have a romantic feeling for him, just like what she always said.
Then, who could it be?
Again, thoughts flooded in Ron's brain. Perhaps someone along their age line. Perhaps a very great wizard. Someone like…
Harry.
Not a far-fetched idea. Everyone likes Harry. Girls would be queuing up just to be with him. Hermione might not be an ordinary girl, but she was still a girl.
'Then I don't have to go all the way to Bulgaria to drag her guy, I'll just have to walk few steps down,' Ron thought and he forced a weak smile.
Ron couldn't tell, but he felt like seeing Hermione with Harry was more painful than seeing her with Krum. Harry was his bestfriend. Their bestfriend. The idea was unbearable. 'Maybe I'll stay out of their way, quit being their bestfriend. I just can't stand the sight,' Ron thought painfully.
"Hey, Hermione!" There was no answer.
"Are you alright there?" Ron heard a soft yes from the room. She was thinking very hard. She had to. It would concern a lifetime consequence. Ron stayed silent. He wanted to give her enough time.
'But if it does take too long I'll just go inside and make her look at me," Ron thought playfully. Honestly, he really wanted to that. But he had to respect her decision. And he wanted her to love him because she really does. Ron blushed. Somehow, he was really hoping that Hermione would like him.
'You're getting insane,' Ron told himself, blushing even more. 'This is Hermione we're talking about. She's my bestfriend! And I treat her as a sister.'
Yeah, a sister. Then why get so jealous when she's with other guys?
'I just don't trust them! I'm doing it to protect her!'
Yeah right.
Then Ron heard a rumbling noise from the room. "Hermione, what happened?"
"Oh, nothing. It's just Crookshanks."
"I see. Umm, Hermione, have you, have you finally decided?" Ron's voice was trembling. His heartbeat was going faster.
"It's really hard, you see…" Hermione mumbled, her cheeks turning pink.
"I know, but you have to. You don't want to stay there forever right?"
"Of course. But, umm, you see, I'm, er, too young, and everything," her ears were turning crimson too.
Ron chuckled. He bet that Hermione was only thinking that falling for someone would just disturb her in her studies.
"Ron what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing," he lied, "So…"
"So…"
"Is there anyone in your mind?"
"Er, y-yeah"
'She already has someone in her mind. She already has someone in her mind. She already has someone in her mind.' Ron was getting more nervous than ever. He caught himself unprepared for the coming revelation. This was getting ridiculous. Half of him wanted to hear it and half of him wanted to shut it.
Then he heard another rumbling from the room. But this time, he heard Hermione gasped. Ron panicked. "Hey, Hermione, what's going on?!" There was no answer. Ron knocked harder. "Hermione!" He wanted to open the door. But that meant risking her affection. Ron knocked harder, but still, there was no answer. He could only hear Crookshanks' grunts.
"I'm getting impatient with this!" Ron opened the door. His heart was throbbing faster, but he wanted to see what happened to Hermione.
"Hermione, what happened?" She was sitting on the floor, staring outside the window. Ron shook her, and she turned to look at him. Ron's face turned red. 'Now what? I waited there for so long and now it ended up her falling for me. Not that I mind it, of course, I mean, well, I'm her bestfriend, and, but-'
"Ron…" Hermione gazed at him. Ron could feel the heat radiating from his face.
"Hermione, I'm s-sorry, see, I-I just w-wanted t-to check if you're, if you're okay. I-I really don't, I m-mean, y'know, er-" Hermione just continued to gazed at him, which made Ron more uncomfortable.
"Ron…" Hermione said - Ron noted but he immediately erased the idea - in a seductive manner.
"Y-yes…" he replied sheepishly. She would tell me she love me any moment now. Ron blushed more.
"Ron… I-" Ron just stared at her. He wondered whether he could blush even more.
"Ron… I think, I think I like-" Ron gulped. He didn't know what to do. This was the first time a girl was going to confess to him. What would he tell her?
"Ron, I think I like Draco." Color escaped Ron's face. His eyes widened.
"WHAT?!?"
