Authors note:

this took longer to write than anticipated, oops.

I know this seems somewhat of a filler chapter, but I don't know I've had this idea stuck in my mind for a while now and decided i just had to write it.

anyway like always, feedback and reviews are appreciated!

When Hermione got to the common room, she was instantly bombarded with questions from Ron and Harry. " Were you in the library?" Ron asked. "it's not the first time" Hermione snapped rolling her eyes, boys could be so stupid, of course, she had been in the library where else would she have been. She tried to brush by them, hoping to avoid their concern, heading towards her dorm. "come Mione '' Ron whined, "at least show us the book you got" Hermione suppressed a small groan, and wandered over to the sitting area. The boys followed close behind, they waited while she fumbled for the book she had stuffed in her robes earlier. Finally freeing the book from the fabric, she plopped it down on the table, not bothering to look at it as she fibbed "it's very interesting and educational, I'm getting a lot of inspiration from it and umm- '' that's when she saw her friends expressions, Ron's face was a mixture of horror and disgust, she scowled what's his problem? Meanwhile, Harry had his fist in his mouth trying in vain to control his laughter, and upon seeing Ron's face completely lost it. "Mione don't kid with us like that!" *wheeze* "kay?" Harry finished between bouts of snorts and giggles.

Hermione scowled, "I'm not kidding, I love-" she abruptly stopped, having been just about to read the title out loud, but stopped herself once she realized what it was. " Oh" was all she managed to choke out, for the book she had foolishly grabbed blindly from the shelf, was the one book Hermione had not only always secretly been eyeing, but had also vowed never to be caught reading, "Love Potions, & Seductive Charms, Your Wizard Won't Know What Hit Him!" Hermione could feel her face burning with humiliation, this morning was not off to a good start. She began frantically scanning the area, looking for someone nearby, anybody who could possibly get her out of her current situation. That's when Ginny decided to walk by.

Hermione waved her over all the while giving her a panicked look that screamed 'help me,' thankfully the girl got the hint and rushed over to the aid of her fellow female. Having seen Hermione's predicament, Ginny did the only thing that made sense.

"Oh!" she exclaimed "you got it for me! Thanks, Hermione" before snatching it off the table. Hermione mouthed a quick thank you, and in return, the ginger nodded and winked. She was just about up to the dorms when Ron snapped to his senses.

"GINNY GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" Ron roared, the girl gave a fearful glance over her shoulder, and upon seeing her angry overprotective brother giving chase, ran the rest of the way up the steps, all the while laughing hysterically. Ron stormed back to where Hermione and Harry stood trying to hide their smile "you got that for her?!" He asked Hermione anger and confusion on his face. "well honestly it's not that absurd" Hermione supplied with a half shrug, and it wasn't really, Ginny was always talking about boys, and she was definitely not the innocent girl her brothers thought she was. "Not that absurd?! No way in Hell Ginny's reading that shite!" Ron shrieked, before turning to pointedly address Harry, "why are you laughing? It's not funny!" He was acting like a child and it was quite amusing.

Harry with a grin on his face, just snorted before voicing Hermione's thoughts "Ron, she's not that innocent" his smile slipped though when he noticed that his friend's face was the same colour as his hair, "are you calling my sister a slag?!" Harry's jaw dropped and he quickly backpedalled "n-no of course not I just Ummm" he looked to Hermione for help, but she was already heading in the direction of the dorms, she didn't fancy having to partake in their argument, besides she still had to shower before breakfast.

"You owe me. Big time" Ginny announced the moment Hermione entered the dorm, she had situated herself on Hermione's bed and was twirling her wand through her hair. Hermione grimaced when she noticed that the redhead hadn't taken her shoes off before lying on the bed, but decided to disregard it. Hermione liked the fact that Ginny didn't question anything, like why she would have a book about seductive charms and potions, and instead she just went along with it as if this were normal.

Hermione scowled at the offending book, Ginny had placed it on the nightstand, it was right next to the empty vial of sleep potion from the other day. Suddenly she was struck with an idea, "hey Ginny?" Hermione hummed still staring at the book; she was no longer scowling. The girl sat up, a grin on her face, "I know that look" she exclaimed excitedly, " what look?" Hermione huffed, feigning innocence,

"The one Fred and George get when they're planning something" Ginny replied knowing, "are you thinking what I'm thinking," Hermione said gesturing to the book.

Ginny raised an eyebrow mischievously "enlighten me"

When Hermione got to the Great Hall she took her seat next to Harry. She wasn't hungry, but still grabbed a piece of toast so her friends wouldn't be concerned. Harry elbowed her "Ron's keeps looking at Ginny" he whispered with a grin, she rolled her eyes but watched as Ron kept sparing glances at his sister as if she would suddenly do something inappropriate, like start snogging Neville; the person she was currently talking to.

It was clear Ginny knew that she was being watched, the girl turned to Hermione "just one drop is what the book said, right?" she asked making sure her voice carried over to Ron, "yup that's what the book said" Hermione confirmed.

"is she talking about what I think she's talking about?"Harry whispered in her ear sounding a little concerned.

"Shhh, don't worry just watch" Hermione hissed in a hushed voice, patting his shoulder gently in a reassuring gesture, all the while not even glancing at him.

They watched as Ginny, with a sly smirk, made a big show of searching her pockets, then taking out a small pink vial unstopping it and pouring it into her Pumpkin juice.

Hermione couldn't contain her grin, watching Ron's wide eyes and open mouth as he discerned what his sibling was doing.

Ginny then casually stood up and made her way over to Dean, her current boyfriend, whispered something in his ear, then handed him the glass, "Dean don't drink that!" Ron shouted, he lunged across the table and smacked the glass out of his roommates' hand, the glass shattered upon impact with the floor, the contents spattered everywhere.

Everyone in the Great Hall went silent, they were all staring at the Gryffindors now, wondering what was going on. Once the shock and Ron's embarrassment was over, conversations started up again, and the rest of the hall turned back to their meals.

"Mate, what in Merlin's name was that for?" Dean exclaimed, he was in on the joke and trying not to smile clearly enjoying the wide array of emotions displayed on Ron's face.

"she," Ron said, pointing a finger at Ginny "was trying to poison you with a love potion"

Hemione couldn't contain her giggles anymore, neither could Ginny based on the loud howling coming from her direction.

"It was a joke Ron" she explained between bouts of laughter, Ron just stared at her in disbelief, anger and betrayal dancing across his features. He abruptly pushed up from the table and stormed out of the Great Hall. Hermione stood up about to follow, but Harry put a hand on her arm "let me handle this," he said, then as an afterthought added, "Potions starts soon, you might want to head down, we'll meet you there."

Hermione's mood instantly soured with the reminder of potions, 'ugh more Malfoy' she thought sourly.

As she left the Hall she noticed that Malfoy wasn't at the Slytherin table, she briefly considered bringing him a piece of toast or an apple, but dismissed the notion with the reminder that he was a grown boy and he could take care of himself, she need not pity him.
