I, ME, MY LOVE POTION EGGS!
Chapter III: Love Thy Enemy
"Calm down, mate."
"It's an accident! Don't act like you've been cheated!"
"You two don't understand!"
"Huh! I think we understand it better than you do!" Ginny was already raising her voice. She and Harry had been trying to pacify Ron who went down fuming with anger.
"What's the matter?" Dean asked Ginny. Both she and Harry sighed. The memory was so fresh that it seemed that they were watching it at that same moment.
*~*~twenty minutes before~*~*
"WHAT?!" Ron bellowed. He almost fainted with what Hermione said, "DRACO MALFOY?! THAT GIT-"
"Ron! Speak no evil against him! He didn't do anything against you!"
"Didn't do anything against me?!? Have you gone nuts Hermione?! Do I have to tell you EVERYTHING he did against us? Huh, it will take tomorrow mind you!"
"Well, who knows! Maybe, er, maybe he really didn't want to do it. Maybe he was forced! There's always kindness in everyone's hearts!"
"The is problem is he didn't have a heart!" Ron's face was as red as his hair. "Don't tell me you've been hiding a photo of that ferret! How else could you defend him that madly!"
"What's wrong with you two? You're disturbing the whole castle!" Ginny marched inside Hermione's room, a mixture of worry and anger in her face. She looked from Ron to Hermione and started to grin like a maniac. "Now, so Ron, I mean, so you two, you two are already-"
"First, there's nothing wrong with me. But everything is wrong with Hermione now! Second, it's not me, it's that scum ferret!"
"Would you stop insulting him!" Hermione yelled.
"See what I'm talking about? She's defending that Malfoy like crazy!" Ron roared. He was eyeing Hermione with contempt and Hermione was glaring at him too.
"But- but this is impossible! How else could she see him! Unless, unless-" Ginny ran to the window and scanned the grounds. Ron and Hermione were still exchanging dagger looks when Ginny gasped. "Oh no… of course, that is possible…"
"What are you mumbling about?" Ron spat irritably.
"Hermione, did you see him in the window?" Ginny asked excitedly, ignoring Ron. Hermione nodded.
"In the window?! But how? He can't be flying around-"
"Yeah, he did fly! The Slytherins are having Quidditch practice today. I guess Malfoy is just flying a bit when Hermione saw him because they're only starting now," Ginny explained, trying to hide the panic in her voice. "You saw him on his broomstick, right?" she turned to Hermione.
"Yeah," Hermione replied dreamily.
Ron gaped at Hermione, trying to believe that she and Ginny were just making up this story. Ginny, on the other hand, was torn between worry and excitement.
"You two are mad!" Ron sighed, "I'm going down, I can't take this! Ginny, if you have any sense you might want to bring her to the hospital wing, though I doubt it that Madam Pomfrey would have something for mental illness."
"I'm not crazy! You're the one who's mental Ron! How dare you talk to me like that!" bellowed Hermione.
"If I'm mental what do you call yourself then?!" Ron barked, his eyes darting sharply at her.
"Oh common Ron, give her a break! Hermione," Ginny said, "you need some rest. I remember you getting dizzy when you took your Charms exam. Lie down for a moment." Ron opened his mouth to say something but Ginny glared at him, "Don't start Ron!" she muttered threateningly.
"Thanks, Ginny. I think I really need to," then she turned to Ron, "you may leave now, I want peace and quiet."
"I'm going down with him," Ginny snapped and she dragged Ron down before he could argue back.
They went down to the common room and saw Harry, who was sitting worriedly on a couch. "What happened?" he asked and looked at Ron's furious face.
"You wouldn't believe it Harry," Ginny started and she relayed to him what happened in the girl's dormitory. Ron was cursing blatantly, though only he could hear.
"MALFOY!?!" Harry couldn't believe what he heard.
"And she's actually defending that bloke! If you heard what she's saying you might want to strangle her back to her senses!" Ron scowled.
But Harry, who had more sense than Ron at the moment, just sighed in disbelief and disregarded the idea of strangling Hermione. He knew well enough that she was only acting like she was because of that love egg. 'Really, nothing good comes from Snape,' he concluded. He and Ginny spent the rest of their time appeasing Ron.
*~*~flashback ends~*~*
"Nothing," Harry replied. Dean looked at Ron curiously.
"Who made him mad this time?" Dean asked, not really taking what Harry said.
"He just had another row with Hermione," Lavender said, "we heard them bickering when we went to our dormitory."
"We decided to go back here," Parvati added, "we don't want to meddle with their affair," then she winked at Lavender and they broke to silent giggles. Dean smirked furtively and left Harry to play Gobstones with Seamus.
"Maybe there's still something we can do about it," Ginny said when Dean, Lavender and Parvati were out of earshot.
"There's no antidote remember," whispered Harry.
"Well, we could ask Professor Flitwick again. Maybe he can at least minimize the effect," said Ginny hopingly though even she didn't really believe her words. Ron was still cursing under his breath and his eyes were glowering. Harry looked at him for a while and turned to Ginny, "Let's just leave it for tomorrow, shall we?"
"Yeah, I think you're right. By the way Ron," her brother looked at her reluctantly, "what were you doing there before Hermione saw Malfoy?" At this question Ron regained his consciousness and his face acquired deep shades of red. Harry was waiting for his answer because he had been wondering too, though Ginny seemed to read what was going on inside her brother's head. Ron remained silent.
"I think I know what happened," Ginny grinned.
"What?" Harry asked, confused, "what have you been doing up there Ron, anyway?" Ron didn't answer.
"You stayed there for quite a time, I expected Hermione to see you first," Harry continued.
"I didn't go inside her room!" Ron finally answered.
"What did you do then, wait outside?" Ginny asked with amusement in her voice. Ron nodded.
"What are you waiting there for?" Harry asked, completely clueless on what happened. Ron turned redder.
"I wanted to rest, we have to ask Flitwick tomorrow. I'm going ahead Harry," he scampered, avoiding Harry's eyes.
"What was that?" Harry asked as he watched Ron climbing up the staircase. Ginny looked amused at Harry's density.
"I think you also need rest," Ginny giggled. Harry just watched her, dumbfounded.
