Note: The translation for the title is The Good Aura Love Potion. I must admit it's not the most creative title, which is why I changed it to Italian. Oh, and sorry about Hagrid's accent. I'm afraid I'm not real good at it.

The Golden Trio slowly walked across the lawns. The walked in silence, each caught up in their own line of thought. Ron decided to be brave and put his arm around Hermione. To his surprise, she didn't object.

Harry noticed, however. This was the first time they openly displayed their relationship in the thirteen months that they've been together.

They reached Hagrid's Hut and loudly knocked on the door.

"I'm glad we came out early," commented Hermione.

Ron and Harry both nodded silently.

"Yeah," agreed Ron.

The door swung open and they were greeted quite loudly by Fang.

"Here boy. That's a good boy," Hermione laughed as she played with Fang.

"Well, it's 'bout time yeh all showed up. Haven' been seein' yeh 'round lately," boomed Hagrid.

"We've been busy, sorry about that Hagrid."

"Classes, you know."

"Real sorry, I swear. Tons of work."

All three of them mumbled simultaneously.

"Is alrigh', been busy myself. Runnin' errands fo' Dumbledore," Hagrid replied.

They nodded in understanding. The Order had been working furiously ever since their fifth year.

"So, how 'bout some tea?" Hagrid offered.

"I'll get it. So, how have you been? What animal are we studying today?" came Hermione's voice.

"Glad you asked. I was plannin' on showin' yeh my Cubick. Jus' got 'im. 'e scents out those in love," he said with a smile.

He walked over to his bed and picked up what Harry thought to be a pile of clothes.

"Meet Scout," said Hagrid.

Scout jumped out Hagrid's hands and ran over to Harry.

Hagrid raised his eyebrows. Ron and Hermione looked away.

"Actually, I think I'd better go. I forgot something and I should get it before class starts," mumbled Harry.

He released Scout and left in a hurry.

He didn't see that Scout then was running back and forth between Hermione and Ron.

"I do love you," admitted Hermione.

"I love you too," whispered Ron, sheepishly.

"Oh, jus' kiss 'er already," Hagrid told Ron.

Ron looked at Hagrid with a surprised expression. He was abruptly turned back around to face Hermione when their lips met. They embraced each other. Their tongues battled furiously for control, for entrance. Ron won.

Finally, they had to pull away.

"God I love you," said Hermione, crying softly on Ron's shoulder.

"I love you too," answered Ron, in a tone Hermione had never heard before. "I love you too." His fingers ran circles on her back.

Harry never made it to the common room. He never intended to. He turned left at the Whomping Willow.

He ran non-stop through the long tunnels. He didn't let himself think. It was too dangerous. Only when he reached Honeyduke's did he allow himself to stop, and that was only because he heard movement. He quietly crept out of the basement and pretended to examine the candy.

No one took him for a student any more. Years of carrying the future of the wizarding world on his shoulders had caught up with him this year. He looked much older than seventeen. In fact, he could pass for a twenty-five year old without trying. He calmly walked out of the store without buying anything and went directly to the Hog's Head.

"Firewhiskey," he said simply.

He swallowed it in one swing.

After about seven more, he decided it was time to head back.

He dropped of five galleons and stumbled out of the dark room.

It took him much longer to get back.

He was getting back just as Care of Magical Creatures was ending. Most of the other students were already in the castle, but Draco always took his time getting his things together.

Harry was too drunk to realize he had to push on the knot to get out alive. He was getting beaten, and not fighting back, by the sharp branches.

Crabbe and Goyle had long gone, and no one else was around – except Draco. He ran to Harry and pulled him out, managing to scar only a few places on his pale skin.

Harry fell unconscious.

When he awoke, he found Draco's face upside down directly in front of his.

"Whas hapnin?" Harry drawled.

"If anyone needed a breath mint right now, it'd be you," Draco frowned.

"Oh shup," Harry replied.

"Don't speak with me like that," Draco snapped.

"Jus fuck it. You know you love me. You prawly figured it all ou. You not stuped," came Harry's muffled voice.

Harry pulled Draco onto him.

"God I love you," Harry said.

"I love you too," Draco answered in a tone Harry had never heard before. "I love you too."

Harry pulled Draco closer. He pressed his lips on Draco's. He bit Draco's lip softly, just enough to force Draco to open his mouth. His tongue explored every crevice, every corner of Draco's mouth. He couldn't let go of him. His hands moved up and down Draco's body. He could himself getting hard.

"I wan you," he whispered.

Draco pulled away.

"You're drunk," he said, disgusted. Harry couldn't tell if it was with himself or with him. He didn't have enough time.

Draco jumped to his feet and ran off.

Harry fainted.
