Sorry I haven't updated in a few days, I'll be back to posting regularly from now on.

Damian walked across the Hogwarts grounds, his school shoes scuffed the grass with each step, his hands buried deep in his pockets. He stopped by a tree and dropped his bag on the floor before sitting down. He shut his eyes and rested his head against the trunk. Everything was going wrong. Ginny hated him, Ron hated him, even his parents were preoccupied with his brother. He was interrupted from his reverie by a small cough, he glanced up.

A small girl, with an angular jaw and long dark hair gazed at him with sharp eyes,

"are you Damian Potter?" She asked, he grunted in response. The girls cheeks flushed a pale shade of pink,

"My names Romilda Vane." She said, Damian shrugged, not really caring, the girl sighed,

"you really like Ginny Weasley, right?" She asked, Damian looked up at her,

"What about it?" He asked, she shrugged.

"do you have any plans for her?" She asked. Damian blinked at the blunt question,

"It's none of your business." He snapped, Romilda smiled sharply,

"So you do." She smirked, "Love potion, right?" Damian nodded,

"what is it to you?" He asked, the girl smirked at him,

"you're going about this all wrong." she said, "you can't just dose her, you have to split her up from her friends first, or else you'll have no chance." Damian blinked,

"why are you telling me this?" He asked, Romilda tilted her head to the side,

"because I want to be your friend, and," she wrinkled her nose, "although I can't see what you see in Weasley, your brother is very cute and I wouldn't mind dosing him with a love potion myself. We can work together." Damian smiled at her and held out his hand, Romilda shook it.

It started off during breakfast, Harry, Neville, Hermione and Ginny entered the great hall together, as they did every morning, they waved cheerily at Ron before sitting down. Harry grabbed took a gulp of his traditional morning pumpkin juice and Romilda took this as her que to enter the hall. Harry's eyes followed her movement before he went back to talking to Neville, although his eyes occasionally flickered to where she was sitting at the Gryfindor table.

Ginny yawned loudly before grabbing a slice of toast and pouring herself some juice. Damian strolled into the hall arrogantly, sliding into his seat next to Romilda. The girl smiled at him,

"It's working." She whispered, "we just have to be subtle, small doses at first." Damian nodded and winked at Ginny who's cheeks flushed slightly before she shook her head and continued with her breakfast.

Transfiguration started normally, the class lined up outside and Damian went to stand next to Romilda when a spell hit him in the shins, a tripping jinx, he hit the floor and heard Ginny hiss,

"What was that for!" At Harry, who shrugged, "Why can't you just leave Damian alone for once!" Ginny cried angrily, Harry glared,

"why are you standing up for him all of a sudden?" He asked, narrowing his eyes, Damian and Romilda glanced at each other, this was an unexpected change for the better.

"Why are you always picking on him?" Ginny asked angrily,

"guys..." Said Neville, trying to calm his friends.

"I'm not picking on anybody!" Harry growled, "He's getting everything he deserves!"

"he deserves so much more then you, your pathetic." Ginny hissed. Romilda knew it was time to step in,

"Stop fighting." She said, Ginny flared her nostrils,

"Shut up, you!" She cried,

"Don't talk to her that way!" Harry yelled, stepping towards Romilda, who clutched his arm. Smirking at Damian, who winked back.

And the bickering continued.

Neville rested his head on the desk and let out a sigh,

"do you think they'll ever stop?" He asked Ron and Hermione, nodding towards a furious Harry and Ginny, Ron shrugged,

"what's got into them?" Asked Hermione, Ron put his fingers in his ears,

"whatever it is, I hope it gets out soon..." He said, as the couple's fights got even louder. Hermione sat bolt upright,

"That's it!" She cried, running from the room,

"where are you going?" Cried Ron,

"don't leave us with them!" Neville yelled. But Hermione was gone.

OK, I hope you liked, please review.
