Fred sat in the twins' workshop and chuckled. "Seamus always thought that he was such a ladies man; let's see how he does with the snog."
George replied agreeably, "I bet you he can't get rid of it."
"I'll take that bet, but what does the loser have to do?" Fred said; Seamus may be a git but there HAD to be one girl who snog him.
"A hippopotamus." George said confidently.
Fred's face twisted in confusion. "Where the bloody hell am I going to get a hippopotamus to give to you?" He said perplexed.
"I don't know I just want one. So, that's the deal, loser buys the winner a hippopotamus." George concluded.
"Fine," sighed Fred, "I just sure hope I win because I have no idea where I'm going to get you a bloody hippo."

Seamus sat in the now female-vacant Great Hall and ate lunch; surely there had to be a long line of girls wanting to snog the one and only Seamus Finnigan. He bit into his sandwich and thought. 'Now, which girl do I want to snog? I know I have my pick of any of them.' He pondered and pondered until he finally decided. 'Lavender Brown. She's quite pretty and I hear she's a good shag too. But let's just take one step at a time.' Seamus said to himself.
Feeling good, Seamus left the Great Hall in search of Lavender. He found her in the common room talking with Parvati about something that had them both giggling like the little schoolgirls they are. When Parvati saw Seamus approaching she stood up and dashed to her dorm, trying to signal her friend. Unfortunately, it was too late. 'Ah, well...' she thought. 'Every girl for herself.'
Startled by the sudden departure of her friend, Lavender turned around to see who Parvati was running away from. She spotted Seamus walking towards her and she inwardly groaned. 'Not him...'

Harry found Hermione in the library, of course, and sat down at the table where she was studying for Potions.
"Uh, Hermi?" Harry asked afraid to disturb her; she got incredibly cranky when someone interrupted one of her ten daily study sessions.
Hermione cringed at the name, finished reading the page she was on and looked up at Harry. "Yes?"
"Do you know where Ginny is?" Harry asked, he had been searching for her so he could tell her that he didn't hate her or the snog and that he loved her and all that mushy stuff that he didn't get to tell her because she left the common room in such a hurry.
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do."
"You want to tell me?"
Hermione devilishly grinned, "Nope."
"Why not!" Harry yelled, causing Madam Pince to fix her vulture-like eyes on the pair and shush them.
"Because Harry, she's right behind you." Hermione said exasperatedly and went back to studying her potions.
"Oh." Harry said and slowly turned around just in time to catch a glimpse of red hair flying behind a bookshelf

"Hello Seamus," Lavender said, eyes scanning the room for a possible escape route.
"Hello Lavender." Seamus said lasciviously; leaning his arm against the wall to trap Lavender. "You know I have the snog, right?"
"Congratulations." She replied sardonically.
"Don't you think I deserve a congratulatory snog?" Seamus said, leaning forward towards the poor, innocent girl. As he did so, Parvati came rushing down from the girl's dorm, just in time to save the day.
"Lav, come on! We're going to be late for Transfiguration." she said quickly; tossing Lavender her books.
"Right," Lavender said hurriedly. She ducked down and ran around Seamus, causing him to fall forward and bang his head on the wall. The two girls exited the dorm in a rush.
"Right then," Seamus said to himself. "Next on the list."
The same thing happened for the next 23 minutes. Every girl in Hogwarts was forced to endure the snog-filled wrath of Seamus, so they were all either:
A. Avoiding Seamus
B. Running away from Seamus
Or
C. Being saved by other girls from Seamus
After trying to get with almost every snogable girl in Hogwarts, Seamus didn't know what to do! But, just as he turned the corner…
- - -
"You better hurry up Seamus..." said Fred under his breath. "Otherwise I'm going to have to find a hippopotamus."
George groaned, who knew that almost all of the Hogwarts girls hated Seamus?
"Come on Seamus... snog a boy if you have to..." George said, "You got three minutes!"

Seamus saw Dean talking to a girl whose back was facing him. Seamus would just turn her around and snog her, whoever she was. After all, he only had a minute and a half left! Snog now, explain later; that was his motto for the next few minutes.
Seamus approached slowly, like a lion stalking it's pray. He ducked down so that Dean wouldn't be able to see him and stop him from snogging this quite attractive (well, from the back atleast) girl. As Seamus reached the pair, he stood tall and placed his hand on the girl's shoulder and turned her around. Dean's eyes widened as Seamus leaned forward...
- - -
"Wow..." George said, "Who knew Seamus had it in him?"
"Yes!" Fred said pumping his fist in triumph, "Looks like you owe me a hippopotamus, brother!"
"You know bloody well that I meant he had to snog a GIRL!" George said trying to defend himself.

Neville pushed Seamus off of him and proceeded to gag. He looked at Seamus eyes wide.
"What in the bloody hell was that?"
- - -
Harry ran after Ginny (yes, it was actually Ginny) and grabbed her shoulder. "Ginny, why do you keep running? Listen to me... please?"
- - -
"NEVILLE?" Seamus yelled. "I thought you were a girl! I mean, I had to pass the snog to some girl and all of the girls have been avoiding me all day and here was a perfectly pretty looking girl right in front of me and I was running out of time so I just…. You know."
"Great, so I look like a girl now!" Neville said; quickly looking down since his eyes starting to tear up.
"Well, from the back, yeah..." Seamus said quietly.
"Atleast he said you looked like a pretty girl, mate." piped Dean, trying to be comforting but failing miserably.
- - -
"Now, for that matter of my hippopotamus…" Fred said smirking.
George sighed, "Do you take IOYH's?
"What's that?"
"I owe you a hippopotamus?"

A/N: still no one has been able to guess the potion and what it does! Everyone is really close and ALMOST right, but not quiet you're going to learn about it in 3 or 4 chapters. But let me clear this up it DOES NOT I repeat DOES NOT make you fall in love with the person, though those who guessed that are very VERY close, so keep guessing everyone! And R and R!
