Romilda


Romilda Vane was determined to get the attention of Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived. She had made a few attempts to get his attention, such as talking to him in the library. She quickly learnt that doing that was the worst way, as his friend Hermione Granger glared at anyone who approached them during their homework sessions or studying time.

She attempted to get him to sit with her and her friends and get away from the losers he was sitting with, but he refused. It just showed how kind he was - sitting with Loopy Lovegood and that Longbottom boy.

But she could never seem to get him alone to ask him out, or to use her charms on him to get his attention.

Finally she decided that if she couldn't get him alone, she would have to get Harry Potter to come to her instead.

Her first attempt failed as she slipped a love potion in some gillywater and offered it to him. He had looked at the water suspiciously, but she knew there was no way he could know that she had slipped a love potion into it.

So she forced him to take the Chocolate Cauldrons.

Who could resist chocolate?

...oOo...

Romilda made a point of watching Harry from that day onwards, waiting for him to finally eat the chocolates, but as the time went on, she lost faith in her plan. She wasn't going to give up.

She was determined to get her hands on the boy-who-lived. She wanted to see the Hippogriff tattoo that she had heard about.

Once they returned to Hogwarts after the war, he was going to be all hers.

...oOo...

"Harry," she said, chasing after him in the halls when she finally saw him alone. This was it, this was her chance.

"Hi, uh Romilda," Harry replied, stopping and offering her a smile.

Perfect.

"So, it's a Hogsmeade Weekend," she said, flashing him her best smile.

"Uh, yeah it is," he replied.

She stared at him expectantly.

"Hey Potter, Hogsmeade with me Saturday?" Came a shout. Romilda turned to glare at Draco Malfoy who walked past, smirking at Harry.

"Draco? Hi, y...yeah, of course," Harry stuttered, watching Malfoy walk away.

Romilda sighed, realising Harry was too busy watching Draco to remember she was even there.

She walked away to find someone else. She knew a lost cause when she saw one.
