Chapter 18

Best Experiment Ever!

At that, I threw on my dressing gown and ran to the hospital wing with Ivy.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Well, Harry says that Ron ate some Chocolate Cauldrons Harry threw out of his trunk, and Ron got weird…he only wanted you." Ivy started.

"Oh no!" I groaned "Please tell me he didn't eat them all!"

"No, Harry wouldn't let him. Ron started saying shit like 'I'm in love with your sister!' and all that. Harry can explain that better when you see him. Anyways, Harry took Ron to Slughorn to get an antidote."

"And the poison was in the antidote?" I asked.

"No, the poison wasn't in the antidote." Ivy said, shaking her head as she continued "After Ron was cured from his infatuation with you, Slughorn decided to open a bottle of mead for Ron's birthday today, to celebrate. Ron drank it first and…well, he got poisoned."

I blinked "The poison was in the mead?" I asked.

Ivy nodded.

"Interesting." I said, stroking my chin "Have you ever noticed that this would be the second attack on a Gryffindor Quidditch player?" I asked.

Ivy looked taken aback "Come to think of it, yeah! Katie was a Chaser of ours, and Ron was our Keeper, now Katie's in Saint Mungo's and Ron's in the hospital wing!"

I hummed and hawed for a moment before finally coming to a conclusion. "Then, the prime suspect would be Quidditch players from different houses!"

"Possibly yours." Ivy said, pointing to me.

I hummed for a moment before nodding "Yes, though I hate to say it, it really could be someone from my team."

Ivy smirked "Glad you see sense for once. I think you should interrogate your boyfriend first."

"Please!" I scoffed, waving the accusation away "Draco wouldn't do that. He was with me last night and he went to his dorm after I went to sleep."

"And you know this how?" Ivy asked.

"I sense these sort of things." I said, shrugging "I'm not the only one with powers, you know."

"He could have had help. He does have Death Eaters that can assist him with this sort of stuff." Ivy muttered.

"Ivy, will you lay off the whole 'Draco is a Death Eater' thing for five minutes! It's not true!" I snapped before opening the door to the hospital wing, where Harry, Hermione and Dommie sat.

"I just heard!" I said, sitting next to Watson, who was holding Ron's hand "How's he doing?" "Pomfrey says he'll make a full recovery." Hermione said, sniffing as I wrapped an arm around her. "Thanks, Sherlock."

"You're welcome, Watson." I said brightly before becoming serious. "Harry, I told you to guard those cauldrons with your life!"

"It's not my fault that Ron ate them!" Harry shouted "I was looking for the Marauders Map!"

"The what?" I asked.

"You didn't tell 'er about ze map?" Dommie demanded, glaring at Harry.

"It's none of her business!" Harry snapped "Just like those lessons I've been continuing with Dumbledore…oops." Harry said.

"You mean tot tell me that you've been having more lessons with Dumbledore and not telling me?" I demanded angrily.

"Sis, it doesn't really concern you anymore, it's more about my survival." Harry started.

"Oh, yeah, right, it's always about the stupid 'Chosen One'!" I spat before turning on my heel and storming out "I can't believe you don't trust me!" I added before shutting the door behind me in a huff.

"It's none of my business…that's the excuse for everything in Harry's life that he's never told me! 'It's none of your business', 'I can do it myself, sis, go play with your hockey dolls or whatever it is Hannahs do'." I huffed as I sat in the Astronomy Tower again, fuming.

And then, I had a vision:

Draco was staring at where I stood, terrified as I heard a very familiar laugh.

"Go on, Draco, kill him. Or we kill her." Scarlett Zimmerman, my mortal nemesis that used to be my friend until I discovered she was a Death Eater said.

I felt a cold, sharp metal at my throat and I didn't like it. I tried to escape it, but I was held against someone.

"If you value this pretty neck of yours, I highly advise against screaming." Bellatrix Lestrange hissed in my ear before turning on Draco. "Go on Draco…now!"

"He doesn't have the stomach, just like his father." another voice, a male's this time said. "I'll finish him in my own way."

"Don't talk about him like that!" I shouted, trying to break away again.

"Oh ho, ho!" Bellatrix squealed, pressing the cold metal against my throat again "We've got a loyal fighter defending her love." she jeered, pressing what I had guessed was a knife against my throat and making small amounts of blood fall down my neck and throat. "Draco," Bellatrix demanded "you have to the count of three to kill him, or you watch Greyback rip your precious Hannah's throat out!"

Draco froze, lowering his wand and staring me in the eye "You won't lay a paw on her!" he shouted, glaring at someone beside me.

"Oh, watch me, Malfoy." the male voice said, seizing my shoulders and wrapping me in a rib-crushing embrace which I knew I was going to die in.

"One…" Bellatrix started when Draco refused to raise his wand again "two…" she said, ticking down the last second of my life. "three! Now, Greyback, show Draco what befalls him for disobeying his master!"

And I was spun around. I met a man's rough, angry face with yellow teeth and eyes, jeering at me wickedly.

"Hello, Dinner." he said, sneering before turning to Draco who had gasped in horror "Say goodnight to your precious little girl, Malfoy." he said before biting into my throat as Draco and I screamed in unison.

The last thing I saw was my blood oozing down the man's chin and Draco kneeling at my side before the world went black.

I shuddered and stood up. That was the first time I had ever saw my own death.

And I hope it's the last. I said before looking around and gasping.

"It was here." I whispered.

I was supposed to have died right in that very room, and I was sure my body was lying not five feet from where I was standing. I visualized being in Draco's position as I had died and I saw, that I was exactly where Draco stood when the man ripped my throat out.

Shock. I told myself. It had to have been shock over what happened to Ron that made you see that. You're not having your throat ripped out, you're not going to die!

"Am I?" I asked aloud. At that time, with Voldemort back, it seemed like a possibility. Loads of people were dying those days, and loads of kids had been pulled out of Hogwarts.

The Patil twins' parents wanted them to go home from what Watson told me. Hannah Abbott's mother was killed, and Hannah was pulled out. I hadn't seen Hannah since. And loads of other students had already been pulled out.

"Is it possible that Hogwarts really isn't all that safe anymore?" I asked myself before shaking my head "No. Hogwarts is the safest place for anything. Hagrid told you that in your first year as a witch in training! I really need to stop talking to myself. That, and I really need to get some more Amortentia. Ron ruined my experiment!" I said before walking off.

It took a couple of days, but I managed to get another batch of Amortentia from Slughorn.

"Ok, Draco, I'm going to spike your drink now, ok?" I said during dinner.

"Now? In front of the entire school?" Draco whined.

"Oh, suck it up." I said, pouring the potion into Draco's pumpkin juice. "Bottom's up." I said, readying my clipboard to take notes on the reaction.

Draco sighed "How'd I get into this?" he muttered before downing the juice in one go.

I blinked as Draco just sat there for a second and started scribbling away at my clipboard.

"First few seconds without results." I muttered to myself before my writing arm was seized from somewhere in Draco's direction, I looked up and saw that Draco grabbed my wrist and I smirked, wrenching my arm out of his grip "Subject shows mildly primitive signs of infatuation in first few seconds of ingestion." I muttered before my other hand was seized. I couldn't help but smile as I added "I love this experiment." in my notes.

Draco turned me to face him and he muttered "La mia Dea!" before he kissed me. His kiss this time around was soft, passionate and definitely romantic.

I made to write this in my notes, but I was kind of caught in the moment of being thoroughly attended to.

Draco broke the kiss and caressed my face with the back of his hand muttering "Non ho mai visto vera bellezza prima di questa notte!"

I smirked and managed to write in my notes "Subject recites adorable love phrases in Italian." before I turned to Draco "Now, Draco." I said, stopping to giggle for a moment when he spun me around and pulled me against his chest. "Tell me, what did you say?"

Draco rested his chin on my shoulder, making me shudder when he purred into my ear "I said 'My Goddess, I have never seen true beauty until this night.'"

I giggled again and felt my cheeks burn as I wrote down "Subject amazingly romantic!" and underlined it.

I smirked. I think I'll have a little fun with this. I thought before looking Draco in the eye and making him jump "Draco…tell me, what exactly do you love about me? Oh, and say it in Italian, too." I said. (So I'm a romantic, sue me!)

Draco grinned and took me in his arms as I bit my lip and muttered "La tua voce è sufficiente per attivare gli angeli nella mattina, avete preconizzabili che Einstien ucciderebbe. In modo innocente... in modo spensierato... in modo perfetto. Come sei bella, mia angellic poco spitfire."

I sighed. "And in English?" I asked.

"Your voice is enough to wake the angels in the morning, you have intelligence that Einstien would kill to have. So innocent...so carefree...so perfect. You are beautiful, my angellic little spitfire."

I sighed again, biting my lip as I wrote down "I really love this experiment!" and underlined it.

"Tu mi hai rapito il cuore." Draco muttered when I was done and returned to leaning into his chest, where his heart was beating frantically.

"Hmm?" I muttered sweetly, Draco's next words sending chills up my spine.

"You have stolen my heart."

I scratched my previous note out and wrote "I really, really love this experiment!"

I looked over to the Gryffindor Table, where Harry sat fuming at me, while I just smiled like an idiot as Draco played with my hair like a child and occasionally nibbled on my neck and leaving a hickey here and there. All the while he was muttering about how much he loved me.

I really severely hope this potion doesn't wear off anytime soon. I thought to myself, gasping when Draco picked me up "Draco, what in the name of Jeff Skinner are you do -?" I started, being cut off with a kiss.

"Shhh." Draco whispered, taking my chin softly in his hand "Don't talk and ruin the moment, Spitfire."

I grinned. Mental note: Keep Amortentia close at all times. I thought.

Draco picked me up again and carried me to his dorm, setting me on the bed as he kissed me.

"You know what I've always wanted to do?" Draco asked, grinning into my ear.

I shook my head "No…" I said nervously.

"Oh, relax, it isn't that, my Skinner fan girl." Draco said, tracing my jaw line. "You know that song that you told me about? From that Muggle movie with the Arabian peasant and princess?"

"Aladdin?" I asked.

"I think that's it. That song they sang during the carpet ride?"

"A Whole New World."

"Yes. I've always wanted to do that as a duet…you know, with us." Draco said, smirking.

I grinned "You know, you'd never do this if I didn't spike your drink with love potion." I pointed out.

"I know…" Draco muttered "But I still want to. Maybe I have hidden desires for you that you don't know." he added suggestively.

I giggled "Ok, ok, we can sing the song!" I giggled.

"All right." Draco said, flicking his wand towards his stereo "Get your voice warmed up."

A/N: Bold-Draco singing

Plain text-Hannah singing

Italicized text-both of them singing.

"I can show you the world. Shining, shimmering splendid, tell me, Princess, now when did you last let your heart decide. I can open your eyes. Take you wonder by wonder, over, sideways, and under on a magic carpet ride. A whole new world! A new fantastic point of view. No one can tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming."

"A whole new world! A dazzling place I never knew. But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear, that now I'm in a whole new world with you."

"Now I'm in a whole new world with you."

"Unbelievable sights! Indescribable feelings! Soaring, tumbling free wheeling, through an endless diamond sky. A whole new world!"

"Don't you dare close your eyes."

"A hundred thousand things to see."

"Hold your breath it gets better!"

"I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far, I can't go back to where I used to be."

"A whole new world."

"Every turn a surprise."

"All new horizons to pursue."

"Every moment red letter!"

"I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare, let me share this whole new world with you!"

"A whole new world!"

"A whole new world!"

"That's where we'll be!"

"That's where we'll be!"

"A thrilling chase…"

"…a wonderous place."

"For you and me."

Draco kissed me when we were done and I blushed. I went from a proud, confidant sixteen year old young woman to my twelve year old self when I relived my first kiss from the same blond I was in bed with at the moment.

"My Princess." Draco muttered.

I smiled "My Consort."

Draco snickered "Consort? You've been reading Wicca ritual books again, haven't you?"

I nodded "They're interesting."

Draco grinned "I can be interesting."

I rolled my eyes "Yes, Draco, you're the most interesting person on the planet." I said.

"Thank you, Princess." Draco said, bowing his head and kissing my shoulders, my neck, my jaw line, all the way up to my forehead and down to my lips.

I bit my lip and giggled. Princess…I thought. I like the sound of that!

"Now…" Draco whispered, letting me lay properly in his bed before taking me in his arms "It is time for the Princess to sleep happily ever after in the safety of her Prince's arms."

I rolled my eyes and smiled, closing them. "Yes, I'm safer than I've ever been." I said honestly.

Draco grinned and kissed my ear.

"I'm in love with this experiment." I said, smiling to myself.

"Is it wrong to be jealous?" Draco asked, kissing my forehead.

"Wouldn't blame you. I was truthfully jealous of Pansy, Ivy, Astoria, everyone that dated you." I said, blush painting my cheeks.

Draco chuckled and rolled me onto my back, climbing on top of me "And I…" he said kissing me "was jealous of Nott, Crabbe, Weasley and Finnegan. But no matter…" said, said with a smirk before kissing me and leaning into my ear "You're mine now, Hannah Potter."

I grinned and kissed him before saying softly "And you're mine now, Draco Malfoy."

Draco growled deep in his throat and buried his face into my neck "I like the sound of that." he muttered before he kissed me hard and catching me off-guard.

I stood by my thought that when Draco kissed me under the Potion, he was more demanding, passionate and fiery. I loved it.

One sharp tug from Draco and my hair spilled out of my ponytail and fell down my back, some of it brushing against his neck and making him growl.

Subject shows increased sexual desire. I thought, mentally reminding myself in the far recesses of my mind to write it in my notes. Now, less thinking, Potter, this is getting awesome!

I was pulled up in a sitting position, straddling Draco as I put my hands in his hair.

I still can't believe how soft it is! I thought when Draco swept his tongue over my lower lip.

I smirked and granted the entrance Draco requested, suddenly awed by how different French kissing someone under a Love Potion was (but in the best possible way).

Quickly, mine and Draco's tie and vest was off and tossed aside along with our robes.

Draco started biting and sucking on my neck and collarbone, making his possession of me known to everyone.

"Whoa, you two!" Blaise shouted suddenly just as I was starting to take Draco's shirt off. "Get a room!"

Draco and I pulled apart quickly and Draco glared at Blaise "We are in a room, Zabini!"

Blaise laughed and lounged across his bed, staring at me "Nice bra, Hannah."

I paled and looked down. My green and silver bra was visible to the naked eye! I looked to Draco and blushed. I had undone a few buttons myself and made his six-pack visible (Still was a little flustered by it. Damn I love Quidditch. I thought.)

Draco and I looked to each other and laughed. "I guess we got a little carried away." Draco said.

"I'd say you got a lot carried away." Blaise chirped "Did you two use protection? We don't want our Han getting pregnant."

"Shut up, Blaise, we didn't get that far!" I snapped, turning beet red.

"Yes, and besides, I wouldn't copulate with her unless I had her consent! I love her and I care about her decisions about something as major like this!" Draco said defensively, getting his clothes back on and paling at how many buttons I had undone for some reason.

I rebuttoned my blouse and slid my vest back on, leaving my tie alone.

"What's Potter doing in here?" Crabbe demanded, walking in with Goyle.

"It's obvious! She's with Malfoy!" Goyle said, waving to me. "Hey, Han!" he added happily to me.

"Hi, Goyle." I said, brightly, waving to him as Draco pulled me close to him. Sure, his dad was a Death Eater who tried to kill me in fourth year, but Goyle and I got along well.

Draco did the Slytherin boy greeting (a typical nod of the head with an icy glare) and started playing with my hair as I fell asleep.

When I woke up, all I heard was my own breathing. I opened one eye and saw that Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, Nott and Blaise were gone.

I sat up briefly and saw Draco left a note:

Hannah,

I went to the library to return a book. Go back to sleep and I'll be back soon.

Draco.

I smirked and laid back down, suddenly picking up a familiar scent. I breathed in again and gaped. I was smelling that one thing I couldn't pick up when I inhaled the Amortentia in Slughorn's room the first day of lessons!

It was Draco. The scent was on Draco's pillow and his comforter. The spicy, earthy aristocratic scent I smelt in that cauldron the first Potions class of term. That only meant one thing.

I was attracted to Draco Malfoy.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes again, rolling onto my side as I let the familiar scent carry me back to sleep.

A/N: Review it up!
