Harry left Snape's office and headed back towards his seat. As he sat down Hermione looked at him puzzled but he shook his head as he felt Snape's gaze upon him. They continued with their potions in silence until twenty minutes later Ron walked into the room looking a little sheepish. "Sorry I'm late" said Ron "Been with Pr. McGonagall" Snape flushed slightly but nodded and Ron went to sit in his seat. "Ron I heard what happened" said Hermione, Harry expected Ron to blush bright red but he simply laughed "Yeah it was funny" said Ron "mind you. I wish I knew who my secret admirer was!" Hermione was adding some ingredients to her potion very slowly then turned to Ron. "No you don't" said Hermione "Would you rather have someone who's absolutely horrible confess their love to you or not know who it is?" Hermione grimaced as she realised Malfoy was waving at her, Ron saw it too and put his middle finger up at Malfoy. Harry laughed "Some how Malfoy looks less smitten now" said Harry, Hermione turned to Harry trying hard not to laugh herself "What did Snape say to you in his office?" she said. Harry was about to answer when Snape interrupted him "Miss Granger if you keep on talking while you suppose to be working" said Snape "I will put you in detention every evening this week" Hermione flushed and bent down to continue with her work. Ron looked at Harry puzzled but Harry merely shook his head and mouthed "Later" to Ron.
After potions Hermione and Ron wasted no time in questioning Harry about what Snape had wanted with him in his office. Harry filled them in on everything. "And then he said if we breathe a word about it again" said Harry "he will the rest of our time at Hogwarts very miserable indeed" Ron snorted "Yeah like he couldn't do any better than he's doing already" said Ron, Hermione however did not laugh but looked deadly serious. "I can't believe Snape threatened you like that Harry" said Hermione "its blackmail that is" Harry suddenly had a thought but before he could say anything Ron cut in. "He must be very sensitive about his feelings for McGonagall" said Ron "I thought he was a bit rattled when he threatened to put you in detention all week" Harry nodded, some how the situation with Snape and McGonagall sounded more laughable now. "Anyway I've just had a thought" said Harry "Black mail works both ways" Hermione gave him a dirty look but before she could say a word Ron spoke first "yeah I'm sure Snape doesn't want us blabbing" said Ron "We could use that to our advantage" Harry nodded "That's what I thought" he said.
"Harry you can't do it!" said Hermione "You'll be in trouble if anyone finds out" Harry turned to look at Hermione "But no one is going to find out" said Harry "Because they don't want anyone knowing do they?" Hermione looked disgusted "It is still blackmail Harry and it's wrong" she said.
Harry sighed, he knew he shouldn't have told her "He started the blackmailing first" said Harry "Ron what do you think?" Harry turned to look at Ron "Ron?" said Harry seeing the troubled look on his best friend's face "What's the matter?"
Ron said nothing, he was lost in his thoughts 'Do I really like her?' thought Ron 'Or is it just because of the spell?'
They were heading toward the Gryffindor corridor when they saw a crowd of people gathering in the corridor; Harry, Ron and Hermione pushed their way through so they could see what was happening. In the middle of the crowd of people they saw Angelina Johnson and Dean Thomas; they seemed to be just staring at each other.
"You're beauty is so magical that to compare thee to a veela would only be an insult" said Dean "If I were to drink a powerful love potion it would not change anything. For nothing could make me love you more" Angelina looked at Dean as if trying to decide something "Do I know you?" she asked. Some people in the corridor laughed; Hermione however had a strange dreamy look on her face. Dean seem unfazed by Angelina's response "I am your destiny" said Dean "No one could love you as I do" Angelina looked a bit fed up at this and started to walk away but Dean grabbed her arm. "You can't escape my love sweetheart" said Dean "No matter where you go and no matter how fast you run my love will always find you" Angelina got her wand out of the inside of her robe and pointed it at Dean. Everyone was now watching with interest "ganchiwan" shouted Angelina and Dean stumbled backwards as if he'd been shocked. "Get a grip" said Angelina "It's just a spell" with that she walked off. It took Dean only a second to recompose himself before he ran after her "Wait my love" shouted Dean as he rushed to catch up. Everyone in the corridor started to laugh and the crowd started to break up "Poor Dean" said Ron "He'll regret doing that tomorrow" Hermione looked thoughtful "Well he did quote Marigan!" said Hermione. Ron and Harry both looked puzzled "Marigan is a famous wizard who had a way with words" said Hermione "kind of like Shakespeare" Ron unlike Harry continued to look confused and Hermione sighed.
As they headed to Gryffindor common room Hermione told Ron who William Shakespeare was; they entered the common room to find it was busy than usual and much to there annoyance that had to sit on the floor. Harry was just about to sit down when he caught sight of a girl he knew, she had her back to him but even so Harry suddenly became aware how beautiful she was. 'Why didn't I notice it before' thought Harry.
All of a sudden it was like Harry had no control of himself, and without knowing what he was doing he was heading straight towards the girl. Ron and Hermione looked puzzled as they watched Harry unsure what to do. Harry felt like he needed to tell this girl exactly how he felt, he tapped her on the shoulder and the girl turned round. "I love you" said Harry.
