Remus glanced at Molly before he turned towards Harry, behind him Ron had his arms crossed and Hermione was sitting behind them, still angry over Ron's arguments.
"Even if Draco Malfoy is a Deatheater.." Remus stopped at the glare on Molly's face, but he half ignored it. "There is no way we can be sure."
Harry tried not roll his eyes and contained his anger. "But he goes to our school- surely theres some way-"
Hermione shook her head, "He's right Harry. None of us can bribe him. We dont have anything he likes or wants." She crossed her arms before standing up, "Unless you can think of something Malfoy really likes." She had only just headed for the door out of the Weasley kitchen but then she stopped at Harry's words.
"I know something he likes."
Hermione turned around, "What might that be?"
This time both Ron and Harry turned towards her.
Hermione frowned for a moment, "Im sorry, did i miss something?"
Ron nodded, "Amortenia."
Hermione shook her head slowly, a blush creeping up her face. Her eyes went wide and her face crossed with mixed emotions before she finally said something. "Um, no. No way- No Harry!" She turned and left, Ron and Harry after her, leaving a half confused Molly and a slightly amused Remus. Tonks laughed, "Well i think we have a plan then."

Heemione starred out the window at the misty clouds rolling by. She was waiting for the dark sky to start raining, just to break the silence. Anything to break the silence.
Then it was broken. "Hermione-"
"Dont!" She snapped. "The potion wont work anyway." she said.
Ron frowned at her, "Your the most talented student in Hogwarts-"
"Malfoy doesnt want..me." She said it blandly but it didnt need to be in detail. It was just bland. He didnt like her.
"Well, he wants girls. Its always been like that." Harry said.
Hermione turned around on her bed and faced them both, "Not me though. Im Hermione Granger. Come on."
Ron looked somewhat uncomfortable but Hermione half ignored it. Harry spoke up after noticing the way Ron was fidgeting. "Thats exactly why we have Amortenia."
Hermione fell back on one of the beds, "Why me? Why cant Tonks do it?"
Harry frowned, "Because Tonks is his cousin and shes not a students either."
Hermione groaned. She could only have nightmares from now on what school would be like when they returned to Hogwarts tommorow Morning.

Tonks pointed to the pink liquid in the vile on the table. "Okay, when and how are we going to get the amortenia to him?"
Remus sighed, "Well apparently your cousin has a liking to chocolate. So were going to mix the amortenia into a chocolate bar and leave it as a gift from you."
"That wont work." Tonks replied immediately. "I may be his cousin but any gift from me he would set it on fire before he even touches it."
Hermione bit her lip, "What about if we write that its from Pansy."
Tonks frowned, "Who's Pansy?"
"His bestfriend." She said. Hermione almost said his girlfriend but she was unsure of the relationship between them. Did he have a Girlfriend? She knew their plan wouldnt work if he did. She doubted it.
"That'll work." Tonks said. "Now what about how are we gonna get it to him?"
Harry turned towards Tonks, "Well your his cousin, right?"
Tonks winked. "I gotcha."
Hermione sighed.

The Blonde haired boy glanced at Blaise from across his room. "I got this earlier."
Blaise stood from his black chair at his desk, "What is it?"
"I dont know." He frowned at the small wrapped present in the colour of green. "Its from Pansy though."
Blaise smirked amusingly. "I swear she's in love with you."
Draco turned around with a smile on his face, "Name one girl in Hogwarts that isnt in love with me."
Blaise was quick to answer as Draco picked up the wrapper and unwrapped it. "Granger."
Draco frowned, "Trust me, she does she just wont admit it because of Potter and Weasel."
Blaise nodded, "Alright."
Draco looked at the block of chocolate strangely."She sure knows how to bribe me." He answered.

"We just need you to kiss him and hopefully-"
"Kiss him?" Harry could already see the mortified look on her face. He resumed, "And hopefully he'll start talking about the deatheater stuff."
Hermione again glanced at Ron, who was, yet again, looking quite uncomfortable. "Are you alright Ron? You look like your gonna be sick." Hermione stated. He did look more pale than usual.
He gave a grumpy huff and mumbled something under his breath in wich Hermione only got out 'Why Malfoy?' from it. He spoke this as he walked out of the room.
Hermione turned to Harry in hopes for an answer, she could see in his eyes the worry that she might ask. What had Ron told him that i dont know? she thought.
she tried to turn back to the subject. "Are you sure the love potion will work on someone even as dense as Malfoy?"
Harry nodded. "Ron and I will try distance ourselves from you and him in case he doesnt exactly fancy us being around."
She nodded, "What about other people? Their all gonna wonder why suddenly Malfoy went from hating me to loving me?"
Harry looked down at the wooden floor, "Well ive tweaked the love potion so he thinks that you've been friends for quite some time. His friends and others however, you'll just have to ignore."
Hermione was sick of questioning it in her head, "Whats up with Ron?" she blurted out.
Harry again gave her a look of 'I want to tell you but i cant'
She stood up from the bed in wich she had just been sitting on, "Okay." She tried to change the subject again because she knew he wouldnt tell her, "How long does the potion last for?" She asked him.
Harry sighed. "Four weeks-"
"A month?" Hermione snapped. Harry nodded. "Oh great." Hello! I know theres nothing special in this chapter- thats next chapter, this is more just like a background explanation to the whole love potion thing. see you next chapter!
