Chapter 15
Hermione groaned. It had been two days, TWO days since the ball, and the worst thing is, THE POTION HAS NOT WORN OFF YET! It was too infuriating.
'I thought that Snape said that it would only last until yesterday afternoon! Was he lying to us! That git.'
Flashback (don't have many of these huh? Hehe)
The girls in the class that had started their doom. Double Potions. The males in the class were still under the 'spell' of the potion, and the girls had tried to get away from them.
"Malfoy, I am not joking around. You get your bloody hands off of me!" Hermione screamed, trying to push him away.
Draco looked confused. "But my dearest Hermione, my hands aren't bloody." he stated. Hermione groaned. Did the potion make you dumber? Seriously.
"No, you git! That's not what I meant,"
"Then what did you mean, and why do you call me all of these…insulting words?"
"We. Hate. Each. Other."
"I don't. How can I just hate a face that beautiful?"
Hermione smirked. "You know, Malfoy, I should, or should I say could use this as blackmail."
"Use what as blackmail? Our love? You're going to use our love for blackmail? For who!" he demanded. Hermione sighed deeply.
"Never mind," she said, in a fake sweet voice, but Draco bought it.
"Good," he answered.
Snape, who was sitting from his desk looking at the chaos that has happened, stood up and told them all to be silent. They obeyed.
"This potion, unfortunately for you girls, is going to last until today afternoon until the potion will wear off," he smirked. "Once the boys will get out of this 'potion predicament', they will NOT be remembering anything at all. I advise you to not tell them what they had done."
"But, sir, what about the ball? Wouldn't they ask about that?" a girl in the back named Melany Prichinsin asked.
"That is simple. You just tell them that they had too much to drink and passed out." Snape answered.
'Is that even right? For a professor to tell his/her students that they should tell their 'partner' that they drank too much of the spiked drink and they just dozed off?' Hermione thought.
'All of my respect for Snape, has disappeared,' Ginny thought, and then laughed, 'As if I had any respect for him in the first place.'
The girls in the classroom were all confused, thinking upon the lines of what Hermione and Ginny were thinking. Murmurs were exchanged.
"Silence!" he demanded icily, and everything calmed down a notch. "That is what you will do IF they ask. Class dismissed."
"Sweet Angel of mine, where are you going? Don't leave me here!" Blaise exclaimed dramatically, when Ginny successfully got out of his grip and waved back at him, and walked towards where Hermione was.
"Don't you leave me! You're my girl!" Draco yelled, causing many stares from the younger year people. Hermione blushed at the weird stares she got.
"Malfoy, please let me go," she pleaded, tired of screaming at him.
"No, my beautiful Hermione. You are my girl! Don't you dare to go Potty and Weasel and leave me here!" he demanded. 'Well, even if the potion is controlling him, his attitude towards Harry and Ron are still the same.'
"I am not YOUR girl!"
"Well, who's girl are you then?"
"Well-I, oh shut up!"
"At least we have it clear that you are my girl!" he said smugly.
"Don't get too cocky Malfoy,"
"Quit it with the surname will you?"
Hermione gave up, no use in arguing with him. It might be the next morning, and her and Malfoy would still be arguing. "Fine, Mal-Draco." she said, with hesitation. Draco nodded.
"Good, I'll see you later, and tomorrow, my dear." he said.
"Hey, 'mione. Let's get going!" Ginny said, and dragged Hermione away.
End Flashback
"Oh, crap," Hermione gasped, as she remembered there was a Head's meeting today. She quickly got up from where she was lying at, which was the couch in the Head's common room, and rushed to her room to get ready.
It took her about thirty minutes to find everything she needed, and then she was off.
---Where Ginny is at---
"AHHHHH!" Ginny yelled, flailing her arms in front of her, as she ran away from a certain Slytherin boy.
"GINNNYYY, COME BACK LOVE!" Blaise yelled, running blindly after her, not caring when he bumped into someone, or many people, and made them fall.
"No Blaise Zabini, just GET AWAY!"
"But baby-" Ginny slowed down, and walked towards the lake.
"Don't call me that, you-you Slytherin!"
Blaise chuckled, and Ginny tensed up, finally noticing that he was behind her. "That was a wonderful insult, my dear." Ginny turned around to face him.
"Leave me alone Zabini, and what was with the bloody deal when you just suddenly come up to me and scare the living hell out of me?" she demanded. Blaise shook his head at her disapprovingly.
"Such a pretty lady shouldn't use profanity,"
"Who the hell asked you?"
"No one, of course,"
"Then you can shut the fu-" Blaise placed a finger on her lips.
"Such bad words coming out of your lips, my Ginny." he whispered.
"I don't give a sh-"
"Shh. Stop with all of this. You're starting to sound like me," he said, thoughtfully. Ginny rolled her eyes.
"So, Zabini, what did you want?" Ginny asked, indicating to what he wanted when he walked up to her and surprised her.
Blaise cringed at the name. 'It's not bad enough that I hate his fucking guts for being a bloody fool and a horrible husband! But now my love is calling me by that surname, that reminds me that I'm related to that shit head.' (A/N: Wonder what his father does, eh?)
Once Blaise had registered all of what Ginny has said, he smirked. "Well, I wanted to ask you something that I can't say in public."
Ginny raised an eye brow, "And that is…"
"Want a hug?" he asked, with his arms wide open. Ginny frowned.
"WHAT!" Ginny exploded.
"You want a hug…?" he repeated.
"Hell no!"
Ginny was fuming. 'What the hell? He just came up to me in the hallways, scaring me like that, and chasing me all the way out here, to the lake, for a HUG! Merlin, this potion is seriously doing something wacky with his head.'
"H-hey, get away!" Ginny scanned her eyes at her surroundings, and then picked something up. "I-I'll throw this!" she threatened weakly, holding up a rock in her hand in front of her, her hand shaking. Blaise just kept on coming nearer.
"B-Blaise! Don't come any nearer!"
Finally, Blaise reached to her, and then wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. Ginny was shocked beyond her life. Ginny just stayed still, while Blaise just hugged her. Reluctantly, he let her go, and Ginny blushed.
"What was that for?" she asked.
Blaise shrugged. "Just thought that you might needed a hug."
Ginny smiled genuinely. 'I thought it was just the potion there, trying to kiss me and all, but I guess the potion is slowly wearing off. He was being very kind, especially of what happened this morning.' she thought back to what happened this morning, when her ex boyfriend went up to her, and asked if she wanted to get back together. When she refused, he got angry and called her all of these horrible, and hurtful words that Ginny started sobbing when he left.(A/N: Lame huh? Lol)
"Thank you," she whispered gratefully.
Blaise nodded. "It's not right for a guy to say that to a girl just because it's a refusal to their proposal." he said nonchalantly. Ginny had tears in her eyes as she remembered what her ex had said to her. Blaise, who saw the tears, went up to her again, and hugged her once more.
"Thank you, Blaise," she said again. Blaise sighed in relief as he heard his first name being said.
"It's no problem,"
---The meeting with Hermione and Draco---
"Good morning, Headmaster," Hermione greeted, as soon as she walked through the doors to his office. She saw that Draco was already there.
"Why thank you, miss Granger. Please have a seat, and would you like a lemon drop?"
"No thank you sir,"
The Headmaster nodded solemnly. Hermione sat down in the chair next to Draco's and Draco turned his head towards her and smirked. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"The reason that I have called for this meeting is to congratulate you two for the wonderfully designed ball." Dumbledore smiled. "Good work,"
"Thank you sir," Hermione said, while Draco just said nothing.
The headmaster nodded. "You two can leave if you wish,"
The two heads stood up and said "bye" to the headmaster who smiled and waved. They walked back to the Head's corridors in silence, until Draco came up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"AHHHHHH!"
"Shh, it's only me, love," he whispered.
"Malfoy, get your hands off of me this instant!" she growled.
"You're soft. I don't want to."
She blushed but scowled. "Malfoy! Get off now!"
"No can do, beautiful,"
"Come on, just let me go!"
"No, my sweet,"
"What is it with you and these corny nicknames?" she asked, thinking about all of the nick names that he had called her.
"It's because of you that's why." he smiled, and pulled her closer.
"GET OFF!" she shrieked.
"Aww, Hermione, do you really hate me so?"
"Not hate, loathe. I would never truly hate someone." she said.
He nodded, with his head on her shoulders. "That is the same with me, babe."
"Ugh, don't call me that,"
"Don't call you what, babe?" he smirked. Hermione frowned.
"You're really annoying,"
"Only for you, my dear Hermione, only for you."
Hermione tried to pry his arms off of her, but no success. He had an iron grip on her. She just sighed remorsefully, and continued walking towards the Head's corridors, with Draco's arms around her waist, and smirking his ass off.
Once they got to the portrait, Draco finally let her go and he said the password. The two walked through the doors and Hermione sat down on one of the couches with a sigh.
"So tiring, especially because of you, and then there's potions in thirty minutes," she groaned. Draco sat down next to Hermione and smirked.
"What are you smirking about?" Hermione asked.
"Nothing,"
"Uh-huh, sure you were," she said, skeptically. There was a silence after that.
"Come on, Hermione. One kiss," Draco said, after a few minutes, leaning towards her. Hermione moved away from him and sighed, annoyed.
"No,"
"Why not? Lots of girls would love to be in your place you know.." he said.
"Don't flatter yourself, your head is already big enough. I'm not 'lots' of girls. And I would 'love' to swap places with them." Hermione said. Draco frowned.
"That hurt,"
"Right, sure it did, Malfoy,"
Draco pouted. "Come on. Just one kiss, it isn't going to hurt anyone.."
Hermione shook her head. "My final answer is no, Malfoy."
Draco sighed sadly and looked at her. Hermione scooted away from him. "No,"
"Why?"
She groaned. 'This is harder than it seems,'
"I told you-" she was cut off when Draco suddenly swayed a bit from where he was sitting at and then passed out on top of Hermione.
Hermione turned red. "Malfoy! Get off you big buffalo!" she yelled, but no movement. She tried pushing him off, but he was too heavy.
"Merlin, why me!" she cried.
---At the same time---
Ginny and Blaise were talking, and to Ginny's surprise, he was a pretty cool guy. They were telling each other things about themselves.
"Oh, do you want to know why I hate my father so much?" Blaise asked. Ginny nodded, curiously.
"Well, I hate him because he-" he never finished because he collapsed to the ground and Ginny was gasping and panicking. She went over and knelt by him.
"Blaise?" she tried. "Blaise!" she poked him. No movement. 'Oh Merlin, I didn't kill him did I? Shit."
She looked around for help and saw Harry and Pansy sitting over by the trees, and looked as though they were talking, and then Harry's head drooped onto Pansy's shoulder and she heard Pansy cry. "OH SHIT! I KILLED HIM! WHAT DID I DO?" and then Pansy stood up, leaving Harry to fall to the ground, and began pacing very fast and was mumbling curses to herself.
'Okay, that was weird,' Ginny thought, and then looked around at more of the Seventh Years, and saw Parvati and Goyle were eating sandwiches, and then Goyle's face dropped into his food. Ginny saw Parvati picking his head up and then yelling at him. When nothing happened, she slapped him on the face, and when no response, she slapped him again.
"Why is this happening?" Ginny wondered out loud, looking down at the unconscious body of Blaise Zabini.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"No, I didn't kill him. That's ridiculous, why would I?" Hermione was panicking, like the others. She had managed to push him off of her and now he was laying on the couch, and seemed to be sleeping, but Hermione didn't know.
"I didn't give him anything to eat…hmmm, I wonder.." she mumbled. "Is it something one of his "admirers" gave him this morning?" she shrugged, realizing that she wouldn't get her answer anyways.
A pecking sound shook her out of her panicking stance. She looked around, but found nothing. The sound continued. 'What is that?'
She finally turned to the window, and saw a brown and white owl pecking on the window, and had a roll of parchment on its leg. Hermione ran towards the window and then opened it. The owl hopped in and held out its leg. Hermione untied it from its leg, and then gave it some treats. She turned her attention to the parchment, and opened it.
To Miss Hermione Granger:
I am aware that you have found your partner unconscious today. I wanted to inform you that due to this…event, the seventh years have the day off from classes, just make sure you take care for your partners is all that you must do today. If you have any questions, please come to me or Professor Snape. Farewell.
Albus Dumbledore.
She looked at the unconscious person who was on the couch and sighed. 'Well, at least I didn't kill him,' she thought in relief. Oh, what would she have done if she had killed him somehow.
---Two hour later---
There was no progress of the body that was lying on the couch. Hermione sighed for the millionth time that day. She was about to stand up and go and get some food, when Draco stirred. He groggily opened his eyes and blinked.
He looked at Hermione confused. "What am I doing here?"
"You laid there?"
He rolled his eyes. "Thanks for the information there." he said sarcastically. Hermione scoffed.
"What happened? All I remember was taking that fucking potion and then feeling weird, and then nothing."
Hermione sighed and plopped down on the couch. "Yeah, you took the potion," she answered nervously.
He nodded slowly. "What did I do?"
"Nothing,"
His eyes narrowed. "I'm not stupid Granger. That was a love potion was it not? How would I not be doing something if I was working on that stupid potion with you!"
"Eh, well, you did do….stuff," she said tentatively.
He raised an eyebrow, "And? What did I do?"
"Just the usual things you know…."
"No, obviously not, Granger. Now tell me what I did."
Hermione sighed in defeat. "Fine, well you tried to kiss me….and you hugged me,"
His eyes widened. 'What the hell? What would my father say if he found out?' he thought, but then inwardly rolled his eyes. He didn't care what his father thought.
"I actually did all of that?" he managed to ask calmly. She nodded.
"Yeah,"
"Granger, what day is it?" he asked, and Hermione knew where he was getting at. The ball.
"Um, it's a couple of days after Halloween,"
"Oh, what happened at the ball then? How come I don't remember anything about that?"
"You-erm, well, you drank too much punch, which was spiked, and then you…passed out." Hermione felt uncomfortable saying these word. Draco furrowed his eyebrows.
"That's strange," he commented.
"You're telling me," she muttered.
"What?" he asked.
"Nothing,"
"How come I'm in a couch when I woke up?"
"The spell was wearing off and you just collapsed." she said, and Draco nodded.
"And you, stayed here?" a nod. "For how long?"
"Two hours," she answered and Draco looked down, "Thanks," he muttered.
"What?"
"I said thanks."
"No problem. Are you okay now? Because I'm hungry!" she whined. Draco smirked.
"Alright, let's go then," he stood up and waited for her to follow. She did and the two made their way to the way to the kitchens, not the Great Hall, since it was dark now.
'I wonder why he's so nice all of a sudden…it's kind of nice,'
'Why am I being so nice? She's a mudblood, but why was I so nice to her? Was it because she was there taking care of me?'
The two Head's went to the kitchens and got the food they wanted and then made their way back to their common room and ate. Soon, they bid each other goodnight very awkwardly and went to bed.
---The next morning---
Hermione entered the Great Hall and then went to where her friends were.
"Hey you guys,"
"Hey 'mione,"
"How was your night yesterday?"
"Uh, well, Rolinda told me about what happened when the potion was still active." he blushed.
Harry nodded, "Same here." Ron didn't say anything.
"Ron?" Ginny asked.
Ron blushed and looked at Lavender. "Well, Lav told me everything, but she said that she loves me even more now,"
Everyone's eyes widened. "Really?" Hermione whispered.
"Well, it makes sense now. I mean, when you were all 'lovey' on her like the rest of the guys, she was all over you," Ginny stated, and Hermione nodded, "True, true,"
Ron blushed. "She did?"
"Oh yes, whenever I saw you, she was always there, sucking on your face," Ginny wrinkled her nose, "Quite disgusting really,"
Hermione, Mark, and Harry all laughed at the look on Ron's face. It was even redder than a tomato, and his ears were red too.
"Ohhh, Ron, you look so HOTT!" Lavender cooed and then started planting kisses on his face. Ron's face was even redder now, and it almost looked purple. Many people were noticing it.
"Ugh, save it for later, when no one's eating, please," Ginny said. Lavender nodded and kissed Ron one more time and turned to talk to Parvati. They just ate their meals in silence then.
---In Snape's class---
Everything was quiet, as they waited for whatever Snape had to say today.
He was smirking today, and it scared the living crap out of them. "I would like to inform all of you what today is," many confused stares followed. Hermione shivered, not liking where this is going, it gave her the creeps.
"Today is exactly two months from the day that I have told you that something would be revealed." he said, in a voice so calm, that it was spooky.
"About two months ago, I told you all that I would be able to reveal what the 'project' was going to be about." People were murmuring amongst themselves.
"The project that you have all been waiting for is…"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bam! I'm done! Lol. Hey, I don't think that I've told you guys this, but I'm going to go to Vietnam sometime in January….So, this might be the last chapter that I'm going to write until I return. But I might update another one, but hey, who knows. Hehe
Thank you for all of these reviews! And please review and tell me what you think of the story!
