It was early on Thursday morning and Harry had woken up to the sound of.....singing. No no. Harry didn't need an alarm clock in his dorm. He has Seamus.

"Like a Virgin.... Touched for the very first time......." Seamus sang as he bounced around the room, trying to get his feet into his trousers. Harry laughed out loud when he tripped and fell to the floor in a heap of arms and legs. "Bugger!" He hissed as he rubbed his head, which he had smacked painfully on the wooden floor.

"I always say people get their comeuppance." Ron said from his bed. "This surely proves that god did not intend you to be a human alarm clock Seam"

Dean and Neville snickered from their own beds. Harry watched as Seamus scowled at Ron, before he pulled the duvet up over his head, and attempted it get a few more minutes shut eye. This was however, made impossible, by the arrival of....

"Hermione! Ever heard of knocking. Some people are trying to get dressed here!" Seamus gasped girlishly (A/N: Yes girlishly is a word... in my dictionary)

Hermione just waved him off and strolled over to Ron's bed. "Oh Seam... its not like I haven't seen it before." Seamus gawked. "On Ron!" Hermione added hastily.

Seamus's whole body sagged in relief. Ron laughed and held up the duvet for Hermione to crawl in.

"Ron..?" Dean voiced form his bed. "You know it's a school day right. Theres no time for.... that!"

Ron just laughed. "Dean... theres always time"

There was a pause for a moment.....before:

"I'm off!"

"Need to use the bathroom"

"I'm outta here"

"See ya"

Four bodies leapt from their beds and hastily ran to the door pushing each other in their haste.

Both Ron and Hermione laughed. "Well that's one way to get rid of them. I'll have to keep that in mind"

The day started out badly for Harry. At breakfast, he was notified that he had detention with McGonagal for not getting his homework in on time, then double potions with the Slytherins followed.

Harry was paired with Neville. The reason behind this was that they were making a particularly difficult potion, to which Snape knew Harry would fail, and being put with Neville only increased his chances.

After failing miserably at Potions, Harry Ron and Hermione made their way to the Green houses with none other than the Slytherins.... Again!

"Hello class." Professor Sprout strolled into the green house holding what looked like... A pretty muggle looking flower. How odd. On closer inspection, Harry could see that it was a rose.

Harry smiled at the pretty looking flower. He heard Hermione sigh next to him. She must have been thinking the same thing.

"Surely we aren't studying muggle flowers?" Harry voiced.

"No I'm sure we aren't Harry" Hermione's attention hadn't left the rose. She sighed again, and her eyes began to sparkle, like it was the most mesmerizing thing she had ever seen. She seemed to be paying far too much attention to this one flower.

Harry glanced at Ron, who was looking worriedly at his girlfriend. Harry shrugged and looked around the room. He gasped.

Every single girl in the room was swooning over the flower. "Whoa" Harry voiced. Ron followed his gaze and he too gasped.

Every boy in the room stared at the girls as if they had gone mad. Professor Sprout could be heard laughing at the front of the class.

"I see we are going to have a few problems with the girls today"

Harry shot Ron a look. Ron laughed and looked at Sprout as if to say: 'Yeah you're not kidding'

"Professor... what is that plant?" Dean asked. Suddenly all the boys seemed to be very keen on the answer.

"Well Dean... this is....a rose..."

Harry almost laughed. "Yeah but.... It can't be just a rose. Look what its doing to all the girls." Harry indicated to Hermione, who was now almost drooling.

"As yes. But you see Harry. Roses, in the muggle word, are extremely pretty flowers, and have no effect what so ever on humans. However, In the wizarding word, they have an extremely powerful aroma, which is released and has a huge effect on women. Its almost like the kind of effect a Veela has on a person. Have you never wondered why through out Hogwarts vast amounts of gardens, there are never any roses present?"

"Actually... no" Harry replied. To which Ron laughed.

"Why does it only effect the girls?" Seamus asked.

"Good question Mr Finnigan. Well the answer is quite simple. The rose is the flower, which represents love. In the muggle world, roses are given, on days such as Valentines Day, generally to women, by their husbands or boyfriends. Their reaction is one of joy and happiness, and love ofcourse. In the wizarding world, that feeling is intensified, and... well you can see the results. Boys don't feel about flowers, the way women do.

"But, Why is it that you are not effected?" Blaise asked, looking almost grumpy that he no longer had the attention of the girls.

"Well you see Mr Zabini. There is a spell that can repel the aroma. That is what I am going to teach you today. It's a pretty simple spell, but it has to be done." Sprout suddenly laughed. "What would happen if one of the girls was to get into a fight with the worst enemy. Their enemy would simply have to wave a rose around infront of them and they'd be putty in their hands."

The boys nodded. Fair point.

"Now Boys. I shall have to teach you the spell first, so you can cast it on your... ahem.. lady friends. This will bring them out of their.. Trance shall we say, temporarily, allowing them to learn the spell for them selves."

Ten minutes later saw the Gryffindor and Slytherin boys standing around a table, each learning the spell. Sprout had placed a rose in the corner of the room, and each on the girls were currently sitting, staring at it in awe, occasionally reaching out to touch it, then giggling happily to them selves.

Harry had mastered the spell pretty well, and was just on his way to grab one of the girls so he could try it on them, when someone grabbed his arm.

"Hey Potter. How's the Weasleyette?" Ron's ears perked up at hearing this. "I hope I didn't upset her too much the other day" He smirked, the other Slytherin boys around him began to snicker.

Harry held him self up at full height, so he could stare Draco in the eye. "She's fine Malfoy. After I pointed out that you were just a evil, caniving, two faced little scab," Dean, Seamus and Neville laughed, "She seemed to cheer up a bit."

Draco growled but let the comment slide. "Its funny, that she should have a crush on me. I guess she got over the boy wonder and moved on to better things." Draco smirked.

"That.. or she was going through a moment of madness" Harry replied, and mirrored Malfoy's smirk.

Ron, who was stood behind Harry, was very confused. "Harry, what' he-"

"Oh you didn't know Weasley." Malfoy jumped in. "Your ickle sister has a crush on Draco Malfoy. Fancy that ay? You baby sister, fancying your worst enemy" Draco began to snicker, as did the other Slytherin boys.

"You're lying" Ron hissed. Harry placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Oh no. Quite the contrary I assure you." Draco turned to Harry. "Tell him Potter. It's the truth isn't it" Draco smirked.

Harry turned to Ron, gave him a sympathetic look, and nodded.

"See Weasel. It's the tru-"But before Draco could finish his sentence, Harry had picked up a pale of rain water from the floor, and dumped it on Malfoy's head.

Dean, Seamus, Neville and Ron, laughed, as well as gasped, as they watched dirty rain water trickle off the immaculate head of the Slytherin prince. Harry just out right laughed.

"See Malfoy. You just can't keep that big gob of yours closed, and that's was you get for it." And Harry spun on his heels, over to the girls.

By the end of the lesson, all the girls were back to normal, and they had sussed the spell. Due to her being in her trance, Ron and Harry filled Hermione in on the story about Draco and the rain water, to which she had scolded them for it, but couldn't help but laugh along with them. Draco had been sent off to his dorm to clean himself up and get a change of clothes, and they hadn't seen him since.

Every one began to file into the Great Hall for lunch. Draco had reappeared, much to Harry's disappointment, but carried on as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Harry was sure he was plotting something to get him back.

Ginny entered the hall a little later, with a big grin on her face, and she plonked herself down next to Harry.

"Hey Harry!" She beamed, and began to pile food onto her plate.

"You're in a good mood" Hermione pointed out.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Ginny replied. "I just found out that passed my test in Defense against the Dark Arts test and earned my self 150 house points."

The Gryffindors gasped. "Ginny that wonderful!" Hermione screeched as she leaned over the table and hugged her friend.

"Thanks" Ginny beamed. "Lupin said I got the highest in the class." Ginny was so pleased with herself.

When every one turned back to their meals, Harry whispered to Ginny.. "Well done!"

Ginny swallowed what was in her mouth to beam at him. "Well you deserve the points just as much as I do Harry. If you hadn't tutored me-"

"Hey, I was happy to do it. And besides, you're good at it any way. You didn't really need my help" Harry recalled the tutoring he had given her in order to pass her exam.

Ginny smiled. She then did something Harry wasn't expecting. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.

This went unnoticed to every one except Harry, who blushed crimson, and Hermione, who inwardly squealed.

'Now we're getting somewhere' she thought to herself.
