I think it will take me an extra day to upload chapters now that it's SUMMER! In summer, my mates all go on holiday and we don't see each other often, so I'm going to try to get together as much as possible. Also, I'm turning myself orange with carrot juice XD

Chapter dedicated to: Sensula-for constantly reviewing and making me a bit more joyful every chapter. Thanks!

"Okay, are we allowed to reference Draco to her face or not?" Ginny asked Harry in the common room.

"Well, we definitely don't want her to know we have her bugged, but some of the things he says are just so ridiculous!"

"And she's not protesting as much as I thought she would. In fact, it almost seems as if she's playing with him," she added with amusement.

"Doesn't that worry you, Love?" Harry asked her.

"Not a bit! While I do hate the guy, if he was in love with me, I would make him do things for me, too."

"What about your brother and that one girl? Isn't it weird that they barely knew each other and now they're dating? She'll probably break up with him once she's back in her right mind."

"Who cares? Let's just finish the footage; they're not even out of the classroom yet."

"Geez, Draco, you scared me! For a second there I thought you were going to freaking snog me!" Hermione yelled on the video.

"Well I'm done with that!" Harry exclaimed, while waving the footage away with his wand, "But I have to say, Fred and George make the most amazing little items."

"Oh, you got the bug from them? Makes sense; now they have the footage too," she explained.

"What?"

"Yeah. They can personally hack into every bug they make, but they probably kept the codeword aside to hack into yours. Why else would they give you a password as easy as 'bogies'?"

"Damnit, Weasleys!" Harry cursed before Ginny gave him a look. That's when he realized that he had just cursed her too, "But you're different... And sexy," he finished.

"Oh, so if I don't say anything, I turn you on?" Ginny asked, referencing Draco from earlier that day.

"Bloody hell yes," Harry replied before kissing her happily.

"Well you two sure seem lovey-dovey today," I said as I plopped my books down on the table in the common room.

"Hermione!" Harry exclaimed, "I thought you were supposed to be in potions class with Malfoy!"

"Yes, I was in potions class; and yes, sadly, with Draco, but no, you don't have to keep your snogging love life hidden from me," I replied after seeing the two shrink back to their respective corners of the couch.

"How long have you been standing there?" Ginny asked, worried.

I turned to Harry, "Just long enough to see your hand start to go up her shirt, you sly dog, you," I teased. Teasing that couple was always brilliant fun.

"Did you sneak out of class early so you could find an empty classroom and snog Draco's face off?" Ginny asked me.

"Yes," I replied sarcastically, knowing that they already knew the answer was no.

"And you call our relationship steamy. Way to go, 'Mione!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Well I can't say I like it, but it's nice to see you let loose a little, Hermione!" Harry chimed in.

"Guys! I was making a joke!" I explained, "Slughorn let us out early because there are very few potions we can make with the Amortentia influenced people. He says that they're too distracted and too much of a risk factor."

"Oh… well, are you planning to any time soon?"

"What? Snog Draco's face off?" I asked, surprised at her question. It didn't even register as an option for me before. I mean, it didn't sound completely unpleasant, but most definitely not something I would do without a 100 galleon reward.

"Yeah. I've heard he has quite the lips," Ginny explained, "And quite the you-know-what, but that's just a rumour." I blushed a bit as both Harry and I looked at her incredulously. "What? That kind of news gets around in this school!"

"And your point is?"

"Well, if you're only going to have Draco in love with you for a week, why not use it?" she asked. I guess I saw her point, but I would always deny it.

"But he's still Draco on the inside."

"Well wasn't it just last week you were calling him 'Malfoy'? He obviously made some kind of impression on you."

"Well yes, he has, but that's only because he's under Amortentia!" I said. It was true; once he was off Amortentia he would probably be back to calling me a filthy mudblood.

"Well, you deserve a break from being just a 'filthy mudblood,'" she said, as if reading my mind, "You deserve to have him love you for at least this one week."

"Whatever, I'm going up to my room to read. Don't let it get too loud down here," I said suggestively while walking up the stairs. I plopped down on my bed, looking at the ceiling.

Quite the pair of lips, hunh?

Back in the common room, Harry was making the atmosphere tense. "Are you saying that if it were you who had Malfoy under the potion, you would kiss him?"

Ginny laughed, "No way."

"Then why'd you say that?" Harry asked, confused.

"Wouldn't a good snog on camera be wonderful blackmail?"

"Oh, you sexy, devious little Weaslette."

"And you nice, fit blackmailer, you. You know, I think this can become our little project," Ginny marveled.

"Indeed it can, Love. And who knows, maybe he'll stop detesting her."

"Maybe they'll fall in love," Ginny replied.

"As if," Harry said with a snort.

"Mr. Malfoy," Slughorn called toward the tall Slytherin.

"Professor," he said happily, "would you like something?"

"What exactly have you done with Ms. Granger?"

"Done?" Draco inquired, confused.

"Yes, I mean… well, have you two..." the embarrassed professor hesitated, "Oh dear, this is awkward… How far has your relationship gone?"

"Oh. Well, so far it isn't looking too good but I know she'll come around. I carried her books for her today and she said she'll give me a kiss next week. What a girl, hunh?"

Smart girl, Slughorn thought. She was completely taking advantage of the situation! Just like she should be. "Well, I was planning to fix you up, but I shouldn't ruin your fun now, should I?" At Draco's nod he continued, "Kids will be kids, no matter what Snape will transfigure me to be. Just let me tell you this: if you're planning on doing anything with her—and you're really serious about it—then I suggest you do it either today or tomorrow, because that's as long as I can hold Severus off for. Okay, boy?"

"Yes, and thanks much, Professor! I have to go see Hermione again," Draco said while running past Slughorn.

"Romeo and Juliet, eh?" Slughorn thought out loud while watching the boy run away, "How tragic."

Well that was a short chapter, hunh? I'm really just setting up for next chapter. So whaddya think? Do you think they're going to get a good snog next chapter? They're going to hold off a while? This chapter review I want you to tell me exactly where you think this plot is going. The person who gets closest is the person the next chapter will be dedicated to.

If you always read my authors comments, write 'Bat bogey' at the end of your comment. If you sometimes do, write 'sparkles.' If you don't ever read them, write absolutely nothing, because you wouldn't see this anyway. I LOVE YOU READERS!
