(Ginny's pov)

I was worried about the potion that I had been working on that would get rid of the Slytherin whore. I was leaving for a two week break in a few hours, and I didn't want to lose the process, but Tom assured me that the potion would be fine and he showed me how to place a stasis charm and a notice-me-not charm on the cauldron after taking it off the burner.

I hid it in an obscure spot in the bathroom just in case. Then I rushed to the Tower for last minute preparations. I had a couple things that I still needed to pack, and I had to bring my stuff to breakfast.

Ron and I made sure that we were the last ones to the carriages, and that we wouldn't have to share with anyone else. We needed to talk about how we would try to get Harry to change his mind and come with us. We had decided to start of with some well placed words, followed by my light flirting. I also added a bit of 'perfume' to make sure Harry joined us.

"What is that Gin? It doesn't smell like any perfume other girls wear."

"Its not really a perfume. It's a potion I made to entice Harry. It's a first year variant of a love potion. It's not very strong, it won't make him fall in love with me, but it will make him want to spend time with me, and eventually help him fall in love with me."

"Don't forget Ginny. We need to get Harry under our control soon, or Dumbledore will stop our monthly payments."

"I know that, I don't need you to remind me." I glared at my idiot brother.

We stopped talking as the carriage slowed down, before stopping near the edge of Hogsmeade. We stepped out with our luggage and climbed on the train, near the back where we can find a private compartment for us and Harry, once we get him away from his 'friends'.

We found the perfect compartment. A small one with limited seats, and after arranging our trunks in a way that would force Harry to sit right next to me, we made our way to where our target was.

(Harry's pov)

I was sitting in the compartment with Draco, Blaise, and Daphne as the Hogwarts Express made its way to Kings Cross.

The two youngest children of the redhead brood showed up about half an hour after we left Hogwarts. Ron started off with his usual sneering and belittling of his betters while his baby sister was glaring at Daphne.

"You should come sit with us. We'll be better company." Weasley boy stated, looking right at me.

"Yeah Harry. We can show you what real friends are like. Besides, I want to talk to you." Weaselette finished, apparently trying to flirt.

"Why would anyone want to be friends with you?" Draco sneered.

"At least we're not filthy Death Eaters!" Ron growled.

"You should get your facts straight before you make stupid comments like that." Daphne replied airily.

"You shouldn't speak that way to your betters." Ginny stated, before turning to me. "At least we can show you a good time. Come on Harry, let's get you away from the brainwashing snakes. Besides don't you want to meet your true love?" She grinned, leaning in closer in what appeared to be an attempt to entice me into following her away from my friends. However I was disgusted by the horrid smell coming from the first year.

"Do you like my perfume Harry? I bought it just for you."

"How many times do I have to tell you idiot Gryffindors? I don't hang out with trash and you, Weaselette smell like you have been rolling around in fecal matter." I cringed away from the young harlot in training.

She jumped back as if I burned her, and with one last glare thrown at Daphne she stormed out of the compartment, her brother following after her like the worthless mutt he is.

After the Gryffindor nuisances left I continued to stare out the window, thinking about the old coots checkup. I can't wait to hear from Severus. I really want to know how successful my prank was, and his reaction.

I moved away from my thoughts to talk to my friends as we traveled to London.

(Ron's pov)

I sat across from my sister, wondering where we went wrong. I was sure that Harry would leave once he realized that we were speaking the truth about the kids he was hanging out with.

I was sure that Harry would take Ginny's bait. I thought that the potion idea was clever. I watched as she stared at the perfume bottle in shock.

"What went wrong?" She whispered.

"Maybe you didn't brew it right." I replied.

"No, I know I did it right. I followed the instructions exactly, and the potion changed the exact color the book said it would, exactly when it said it would."

"Did the book give you any reasons that it wouldn't work?"

"The only reason the book gave, was that it wouldn't be effective if the target is already married, bonded or in love with someone."

"So which one could it be?"

"Well Dad would know if Harry was bonded with someone. He's too young to be married. So he might in love with someone. If that's the case maybe mum can help me find a potion to break that. After all he is supposed to be with me."

I watched the determined look settle on her face. I am glad that I'm not on the receiving end of that look. I'd not survive.
