Well…. finally chapter 9……….its been ages. Sorry for the looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnggggggg delay. I just didn't get any ideas.
So anyways I kind of wrote this in a hurry (well ok I rush every single chapter) so it might not be that great so just bear with me.

"HERMIONE!"

Ron, Harry, and Draco suddenly had pained expressions on their faces. They were soooo close but someone had yelled "Hermione" and now Dimitri was going to fall in love with her.

Or so they thought.

The speaker who yelled out her name turned out to be Neville. He just wanted her ask her about Snape's new potion. Harry, Ron, and Draco all gave seething looks at him for ruining their one chance. But little did they know, they still had hope.

In all this commotion, the boys failed to recognize that Dimitri showed no sign of being given a love potion at all. In fact he appeared quite normal. And that was because Harry gave Dimitri the wrong glass of juice. But no one drank the one with the potion.

As Neville ran away from the common room seeing the looks on Harry's, Ron's, and Draco's faces, the three boys went back to Dimitri. Harry was the first to recognize that Dimitri hadn't been given the potion at all. And that the glass was still there. So their plan wasn't yet foiled. Harry sorted through the glasses and found the one he mixed the potion with.

"What was that all about?" Dimitri asked as all three were seated.

"Oh nothing just Neville." Harry replied. He quickly told Ron and Draco about the mix up and that they were going to give him the potion filled one now.

The other two agreed and once again Harry passed out all the glasses. But Draco being the compete idiot he is, switched his glass with Dimitri because he just wanted to be "sure". Well you can imagine how that went.

As all four boys drank, Harry and Ron noticed Draco go into a stupor. His eyes were twitching a bit and he seemed like he had a gallon of firewhisky. Dimitri also noticed the changes and gave a worried glance to Harry and Ron.

"Erm does he always spike his drink with alcohol?" Dimitri asked curiously.

."Er no though he does act like a drunk." Ron replied with a nod,

Harry realized that Draco had taken Dimitri's glass and now had taken the potion. He had to make sure no one said anything, such as a person's name or an object. But before Harry could warn Ron…

"HEY HARRY! RON?" a voice shouted through the portrait hole.

It was none other than Hermione, returning from the library. Then Malfoy suddenly jerked from his weird trance. His eyes had a sudden gleam in them. His eyes fell on Ron and Harry.

Harry suddenly got slapped with realization.

"Erm Ron, might I make a quick and helpful suggestion?" Harry said hurriedly.

"What? Don't you want to say a random girls name to Dimitri so we can take Hermione?" Ron asked.

"Umm I don't think that's the main problem now." Harry said quickly as Draco put on a sickly sweet smile.

"Umm Ron I think we should run and fast." Harry said, looking at Draco with terrified eyes.

"But----why? I don't get –" But Ron was interrupted when Harry sprang from the room taking Ron with him. Draco saw them leave and got up too.

"Well what's with them?" Hermione asked as she went to Dimitri.

"I dunno but you have really weird friends Hermione." Dimitri said with a concerned glance.

"Yes well they're not completely mentally deranged all the time well except for Malfoy but he's a different case." Hermione replied back.

"Well I know this really good healer. He's an uncle of mine. Works in the mentally ill department. I am absolutely sure he can help with Harry. There's no shame in it really. I mean he's always so worked up and twitchy like. "

Hermione just shook her head and laughed.

"Well the ball is going to start soon I suppose I' better get ready then. See you soon."

Dimitri nodded and decided to get ready himself.

Now as for poor Harry and Ron, they were riding in the old broom closet where they would hear Malfoy's voice getting louder and louder.

"You can run but you cant hiiiiiiiiidddddddddeeee"

"Harry what the bloody has happened?" Ron asked with fear etched in his voice and face.

"I dunno stupid git Malfoy must have changed the glasses again. And now he has drank the potion and Hermione said out names—and"

"You mean he's in love with us?" Ron asked with a confounded look on his face as though he had been told Percy had freakishly murdered the Chudley Cannons.

"Yes I'm afraid so…I wonder how this spell will last. Ok we'll go find Fred and George and ask them what we can do.

"Yea but how are we going to get out with Romeo on the loose?" Ron asked, referring to Malfoy.

" Well I cant hear him now so we can make a safe getaway." Harry replied.

So the two boys quietly left the broom closet and headed for the common room. Fortunately, they found Fred and George in their corner again.

"Fred! We need your help! The potion you gave us yea that one we were going to give to Dimitri? Well that thick-brained git Malfoy drank it instead. And what's worse he heard mine and Ron's name and now he's after us!"

Fred and George stared at them for a few minutes. The they burst into laughter.

After about five minutes or so, the laughing finally died down to snickering.

" Ok well like we said earlier this potion wasn't really tested so we don't know how long the potion will stay and we don't know any spells to counter it. So I guess you're out of luck then" George replied with another chuckle.

"Well there must be something!" Harry and Ron said at once.

And there was. But they needed a special help of one of their enemies. And it wont be easy.

OK whew! Yea I told you it wasn't that great. I just wrote whatever that came to mind. I don't think I am ever going to finish this :-\ Well, only one more chapter ( I think)
