It was Thursday afternoon when Ginny went to the Slytherin Dungeons to talk to someone.

"Hey Weasley! Over here!" Theodore Nott, one of Draco's childhood friends, called out.

"Hello Theo. Thank goodness you received my letter. I need to talk to you about something." Ginny said.

"Well shoot."

"Can you pretend to be smitten with Hermione?" Ginny asked directly.

"What? Why?" Theo asked, curiosity taking over. Being smitten with Hermione is not something foreign to him. He remembers having a crush on the Gryffindor bookworm long ago.

Ginny told him about the plan and he agreed but not without asking for something in return.

"What's in it for me?" Theo asked, Slytherin through and through, not doing something pro bono.

"Well I know about how you like guys so I could introduce you to some friends of mine. Also, Hermione has some French guy friends she could introduce you to." Ginny replied.

"Alright. Good enough for me." Theo said.

They sealed the deal with a handshake.

"See you around Gin, also say hi to Hermione for me!" Theo said while waving goodbye.

During breakfast the next day at the Great Hall, a large tawny owl caught the attention of most students because it was carrying a bouquet of red roses. Students, especially the females were giggling eager to know who the flowers are for. The owl landed in front of Hermione and it flew away after nipping on some biscuits on the table.

At the Slytherin Table, three men were watching curiously for Hermione's reaction. Draco, looking quite annoyed, Blaise, looking interested, and Theo, looking smug.

Ginny caught the eye of Theo and winked at him for a job well done.

Before classes started, Hermione pulled Ginny into a small corner to talk.

"Did you do that? Was this part of the plan to make him jealous?" Hermione asked curiously.

"No. But someone we know did. Remember Theo Nott and how he used to have a crush on you during second year? Well I asked him to be in on the plan. Also, he likes men now so don't worry." Ginny said reassuringly.

"Yes. Thank goodness it's Theo. At least I won't be uncomfortable about it. Thanks Gin." Hermione replied.

Potions Classroom

"Alright class, for this lesson, you will need to partner up." Prof. Slughorn said to the class.

The class composing of Slytherins and Gryffindors shuffled and chose their friends to be their partners. Among them are Daphne Greengrass with Millicent Bulstsrode, Dean Thomas with Seamus Finnegan, Harry with Ron, and others. Blaise tried pushing Draco to partner up with the fiery Gryffindor Princess, but by the time that Draco agreed, someone was already at her side.

Draco sat down defeated and went to work with the potion.

Potion making is hard if one does not concentrate. Blaise is slowly getting annoyed at Draco for his out of character clumsiness and rashness and was about to call him out on it when he looked at the object of his friend's fantasies flirting with Theo.

Draco sat there glaring at Theo for what he was doing. This caused him to drop five lacewing flies in his cauldron instead of four.

BOOM!

The cauldron exploded covering Draco and Blaise with dark yellow goo.

"Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Zabini, are you two alright? Please go immediately to the hospital wing and get yourselves checked" Professor Slughorn said.

"Obviously we are not alright!" Draco's voice went high for he was angry and annoyed because this has never happened to him.

"We are sorry Professor, we will go now." Blaise said while ushering the angry Draco out of the dungeons.

They didn't see the concerned looks Harry and Ron thrown their way and the horrified expression on Hermione's face.

At the Gryffindor tower, Hermione and Ginny sat by the fireplace and talked about the incident in the dungeons.

"Gin, I feel really guilty. I shouldn't have done that. He never makes a mistake in potions" Hermione said, worry etched across her face.

"No, Mione, it's also my fault. It was my plan after all." Ginny replied.

"I followed them to the Hospital Wing but they were gone by the time I arrived. I also asked Madam Pomfrey about them and she said it was nothing major. But still, Gin, I can't help but worry." Hermione said.

"It's alright Mione. Let's stop this. Maybe it's time you tell him how you feel." Ginny said.

In an abandoned classroom, the guys met and discussed their next course of action, but the prevailing topic was still about the little explosion in the dungeon.

"Are you guys alright?" Harry asked.

"Yes. We're fine now. It wasn't that bad." Blaise replied.

"That's good to hear. I think I know what caused you to be distracted. I saw Theo flirting with Hermione earlier." Harry said.

"Yeah. I also think that He might be the one to send those flowers to Mione." Ron added.

"That traitorous git!" Blaise exclaimed.

"Enough. I can't do this anymore. Maybe it's time to stop. The plan was stupid from the beginning. I should just tell her honestly how I feel." Draco said.

The three boys stared at him in awe.

"What?" Draco asked.

The boys started clapping slowly as if teasing him.

"Hey! I can do it! I'm the Slytherin Sex God after all." He said jokingly with a smirk which caused the boys to laugh.
