Chapter Two

The next morning as Harry, Ron and Hermione came into the Great Hall, Harry called out "Let's sit here!" which conveniently placed Hermione next to Seamus.

A quick stream of thoughts on what to do ran through Hermione's head. The night before she had lain in bed, wondering about what she had done. She wasn't sure if she really liked Seamus that much. She also considered making him fall in love with her via potion was under-handed. But now that she was sitting next to him, felt much different in regards to what she thought about him. She felt very conscious of the fact that she had the potion in her back pocket as well.

Now might be the only chance if I want to do it, Hermione thought to herself. Do I really want to do it?

She decided to be spontaneous. Making sure that no one was looking while Seamus reached for the egg platter she quickly put three drops of the potion into his drink. She watched as he took a sip of pumpkin juice, then quickly said "Seamus!" a little too loudly.

"Uh... could you pass the eggs?" Hermione watched as Seamus eyes dilated then went back. He then said is a slightly slurred voice, "Wow, Hermione... I never noticed how vibrant your eyes were before."

Hermione blushes and then quickly took the plate of eggs from his hands. "Thanks." Seamus continued to stare at her in a dazed manner for the next couple of seconds before going back to his own food.

As Hermione left with Harry and Ron, Ron pulled her back by the arm so they fell behind Harry. Ron then said quickly into her ear "I saw you putting something into Seamus' drink. What was it, a solution of my dear brothers'? Had no clue you were so badass."

Hermione glared then said "You go ahead. I have to go back to the dormitories." Hermione waited until she saw Ron walking away before hurrying after Seamus who was walking in the opposite direction.

Hermione did not notice Ron turning around, watching her go. Ho ho ho, going to the dormitories, are we? He thought.

Keeping a safe distance behind her, Ron followed Hermione.

He saw Hermione walk up to Seamus, who was standing in front of the Fat Lady Portrait.

"Oh! Hermione," Seamus said quickly. "Um, I know this is kind out of the blue, but I was wondering..." Seamus started off shakily. He breathed deeply. "If, you, um, would like to go, you know, maybe to Hogsmeade next weekend with me?"

Ron saw Hermione's head incline slightly, saying something he couldn't hear. The next thing Ron saw was Seamus kissing Hermione rather violently. He then saw Hermione wrapping her arms around Seamus' neck.

Slamming himself against the wall so that he wasn't visible from around the corner from which he had been watching form, he thought to himself, but Seamus is going out with Lavender! What did Hermione put in his drink?

What the hell is going on here?


I was writing a haiku
To tell you to review
When I forgot the number of lines,
So I'm writing a diddy
A smart little witty
Telling you that you should do soon.

Okay, that wasn't a very good poem, but please review anyway! This story was especially short, and I'm always open to how to make my story better!
