A/N, sorry for not updating for awhile, I was having a slight case of writers block with this one… anyway, hope you like this chapter.

A couple months into term, Helen was getting restless. She needed blood, and soon. Without it, she could lose control, transform involuntarily and either enslave or devour all of the males in Hogwarts! She and Draco had spent weeks trying to devise a way to get to Potter without being too obvious as to their intent. After all, it's not everyday that a 1st year Slytherin decided to crush on Harry potter… and they guessed that no one would buy it!

"Maybe we're going about it the wrong way, maybe we need to go straight to him." Draco suggested.

"No, we can't I'm under orders to not make it look obvious. But we will need to act quickly, not give them the chance to put 2 and two together and figure out what I am."

"good point…"

"Okay, we know who is closest to him, Ron, Get to him and Harry will be a piece of cake." Helen stated.

"But Weasel's less likely to fall for you than Potter!"

"Yes, but we need to find out who we can use to get to him."

"Well, there's mud blood"

"she's straight, believe me, I can tell these things!" Helen said with a giggle.

"Well who else?"

"Is there anyone else he's protective of?"

Draco thought about this for a moment before it came to him "Neville Longbottom, he's stupid enough to fall for it."

"Is he trustworthy? We need him to be able to keep his trap shut about mine and his "relationship""

"I would think so. I also think you could manipulate him very easily"

"Draco Dahling I can manipulate anyone remember" she says flirtatiously causing Draco to drool. "See what I mean" she says with a smirk.

Draco regains his senses again "HEY not fair!"

"All's fair in love and war!"

This just made him grumble dejectedly.

"So I get to Neville how?"

"Well, he's really good in herbology, maybe you can pretend to be bad at it and get help from him."

"or one of his friends… is he friends with the other herbology non-gryffindor nuts in the school?"

"Well, there's him and Ernie McMillan. They are practically sprout's lapdogs. But why go for his friend?"

"2 reasons, because if I go for a gryf too soon, it could be suspicious, or he might take it that way. So I go with Ernie, and after I dispose of him I'll go looking to Neville for comfort. Saying that I loved Ernie and that I need a friend and that Ernie kept the relationship secret because of our age and houses. I'll "rebound" onto Neville and then do the same thing to get to Ron, then Harry, simple."

"So at the end of this, the death count will be 4?"

"yep, and only hufflepuffs, gryfs!"

"I like it, so when do we start?"

"We start today. You mess up my herbology homework and I'll screw up my practical assignments." Helen said.

"But Helen, I JUST finished that huge essay on the properties of devil's snare! It took me 4 hours and I had already done it before!" Draco whined.

"Well, sexretary, thank you for making this sacrifice for me" and she gave him a kiss on the cheek and was gone to leave Draco to mess up her homework.

(A/N, sorry for the short chapter, but better short and late than long and non-existent!)
