Pettybureaucrat: Malfoy is most definitely not the HB. I think the stories in which he is are far too common. Malfoy represents the scum of scum in my stories, I don't plan on giving him any glory. As you can tell I am not a Malfoy fan. On a lighter note, I wont have any scenes in which the young couples "Go too far." Hope you enjoy the chapter. Also, thanks for your comments!
Chapter 4
As Harry and Ginny began to step off of the Hogwart's Express their ears were greeted by the familiar voice of their half-giant friend Hagrid. As usual Hagrid was at Hogsmeade station to round up the first years and take them on the traditional boat ride to the castle while the older students went to the carriages.
Once in their carriage Ginny looked at Harry and he seemed to understand what she was thinking, "where are Ron and Hermione?" Ron had told Harry that he would return after the prefect meeting, but he never did, had something happened? The thought was chased from Harry's head when he saw Hermione through the carriage window, with a young man he didn't recognize. Harry could feel his anger rising, though he didn't know why.
"Harry is something wrong?" Ginny asked softly.
"Yeah, very wrong" he said angrily as he threw open the door and jumped out of the carriage and headed straight for Hermione.
Hermione noticed Harry approaching and smiled wickedly.
"Oh Harry, you remember Viktor don't you? He decided to continue his education here at Hogwarts, isn't that wonderful?" Hermione said with that maniacal grin still on her face.
"Oh yeah, just fabulous. Where is Ron?"
"Oh I dumped him when I found out Viktor here was head boy!"
"Head Boy eh? Let me go ahead and stop the ego from swelling!" Harry shouted and drew back his fist and landed a solid blow to Krum's jaw.
"Harry what are you doing!" Hermione said stepping between the boys after spraying something quickly on herself. She stood looking Harry in the eye.
A strange scent entered Harry's nostrils and he began to calm down. Then he said:
"Maybe he will stay away from my girl from now on," he said putting his arm around Hermione and pulling her towards the castle, with that grin still on her face.
The "Welcome Back Feast" proved to be quite different than any of previous years. Harry and Hermione sat at one end of the table, while Ginny sat with Luna, Neville, and Ron at the other end. Ginny couldn't believe what she had seen once she arrived at the school. Harry didn't seem himself at all, and in part, she was right.
After everyone had taken their seats Professor McGonagall stood before the students and commanded silence.
"Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts, as many of you know the school is only back under the condition of aurors being present in all heavy trafficked parts of the school. Please treat them with the respect that you treat your teachers and parents with. Now let us begin the feast."
With that the feast began.
After finishing their meal, Hermione suggested they go for a walk. Harry quickly stood up and took her by the hand. They quickly made their way out of the Great Hall.
Ginny watched as Harry ran from the Great Hall.
"What is wrong with him?" Ginny asked the group.
"I don't know Gin, what's wrong with Hermione?" Ron asked.
"I think Hermione put a spell on him Ron, I think she seduced him." Ginny said.
"Hermione seduce Harry? After she had just left me for Krum? That makes no sense Ginny." Ron stated.
"Well everything doesn't have to make sense, especially in the wizarding world." Luna piped up.
"I don't know what's happened but I intend to find out!" Ginny said in a slightly loud voice, before getting up and dashing out of the Great Hall.
Harry awoke the next morning with a horrible splitting headache. He looked around the dormitory, he was the first to wake, he decided he would go down to the common room to wait for Ginny, completely unaware of the events of the night before.
After about fifteen minutes of being alone Hermione entered the common room.
"Morning Harry." She said brightly with a huge smile on her face.
"Morning Hermione……"
"You were great last night Harry."
"Last night… what happened last night?"
"Let's just say I have never……….squealed like that before….." She said with that smile still in place.
"What did you do to me Hermione!"
"Oh nothing Harry, nothing at all" she said trying her best to put on an innocent act.
"Hermione I swear if you……" she sprays something in his face and his temper drops.
"Harry…..will you go with me to breakfast?" Hermione asked softly.
"Sure…" he said somewhat subdued.
At that moment Ginny came down the stairs.
"Hermione, what have you done to him!" Ginny said fired up.
"I haven't done anything to him!" Hermione retorted trying to sound hurt, " he has just got some taste now!"
"I can't believe you just said that!" Ginny yelled at her as Harry sat and watched the quarreling girls.
"What can I say, he wants me not you!"
"No you have done something too him and I will find out!
SMACK
Ginny had slapped Hermione clean across the face causing Hermione's nose to break and causing her to run out of the common room.
"What is wrong with you?" Harry asked as he ran off after Hermione.
Ginny fell onto the couch and curled up into a ball, crying softly……what was she going to do?
The rest of the day went by as the night before had. Harry and Hermione going around together, while Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Luna went around together. Believe it or not, Malfoy didn't even bother the Weasleys about the current situation. This was probably more because he knew if he did, one would explode and hex him to London and back.
For over a week this process continued until Ginny had finally had enough. On Monday of their second week back, Ginny awoke at nearly five in the morning and went to the boys dorm and sat on Harry's bed, and shook him awake.
"Harry……..we need to talk….."
"Yeah Gin, what about?"
"About what Hermione has been doing to you."
"What has Hermione been doing to me?"
"She is seducing you every morning Harry. She is taking you away from us every morning."
Harry looked at her shocked before realizing he couldn't remember even riding in the carriage up to the castle.
"What should I do Ginny?"
"Here, take this, it should resist her attempts to spray you with a love potion."
"Ok, but what should I do when I see her?"
"Give her Hell."
On that note Ginny kissed Harry on the forehead, wished him goodnight, and left the room to return to bed. She was certain that things would be back to normal before long.
