Hermione was literally frozen. Her best friend was kissing her. She sure as well wasn't kissing back. She needed to stop him, now. She pushed his chest and he stumbled back a bit but thankfully didn't fall to the floor. Hermione just glared at him. Of course with him being on Amortentia, he just smiled at her. Hermione was getting annoyed now. How many more people were going to end up 'being in love' with her? How many more would try kiss her? She turned around and ran to Draco, who was still shouting at Lucian. She grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the doors of the Great Hall. They stopped when they were outside.
"Harry just bloody kissed me!" She shrieked. Draco's jaw dropped to the floor, anger was sketched across his face.
"What?" He growled, moving his gaze into the Hall to look at Harry.
"Draco calm down! He's under the effects of Amortentia! He doesn't know what he's going! It's the exact same with everyone else!" Hermione cried.
"I know, I know!" He informed her. "But what I wanna know is why you? And how the hell did someone get their hands on Amortentia?" Hermione looked at her feet. "Are you not telling me something?"
She looked back up at him. "Well.. um.. I might have made a bit of Amortentia last week." She told Draco. His mouth fell open. "It wasn't because I want attention from this lot!" She shouted, pointing back inside the Great Hall. "You know how I feel about Ron.. Or should I say felt about him.. I'll explain that story later. I wanted him to fall for me. I researched this potion back at the beginning of the school year in the library. I wrote down how to make it then ripped it up after I had a long talk with myself about how I can't make him love me. But then I got annoyed and sick of everything when me and Blaise broke up and when you kissed me. So I made the potion last week. But when it was ready I threw it out! I only have one vile of it and it's in my room.." She trailed off. She needed to check if that vile was still there. She began running towards the staircase and Draco shouted after her.
"Where are you going?"
"I need to see if the vile is still in my room!" She shouted. "Keep everyone here! I don't want people jumping out from empty corridor's kissing me!"
Draco was annoyed beyond belief. He stormed back into the Great Hall and looked around. Lots of people now had that blank expression on their faces. As he walked toward the food table, he heard some students, two girls and four boys, asking where Hermione went. Oh my God, he thought, this is ridiculous! He turned to the punch bowl and was in the middle of pouring himself a drink when he heard Pansy scream. He paused what he was doing and turned to face her. She looked angry.
"What are you screaming about!" He demanded. She ran towards him, staring at the plastic cup he had in his left hand.
"DO NOT DRINK THAT PUNCH!" She yelled at him. He looked down at the cup that was half full. He then turned his gaze back to her and laughed. He shook his head in disbelief and downed the drink in one. Pansy just stared at him.
"Draco?" She asked, touching his arm.
He looked up and smiled at her. "Where's Hermione?" He pushed Pansy out of the way and headed for the door. Oh no, Pansy thought. She ran after him screaming her head off.
"Draco! STOP WALKING! I know where Hermione is!" Draco stopped dead in his tracks and turned to her, still smiling. She had also gotten the attention of most of the other students who were also obsessing over Hermione. Soon enough, they all crowded around her, demanding that she tell them. Pansy was seriously freaking out.
"She's out there, walking the halls of the school!" Pansy screamed the first thing that popped into her head, just to get everyone away from her. Some of the students began to run, others walked fast. Oh my God. This is crazy! Pansy turned to look around the room to see if anyone was still normal. Ron! She ran over to him and grabbed his arm.
"What are you doing?" He demanded, shrugging her off.
"You might have noticed by now that most of the student's are in love with Hermione! They're all gona wondering about the school looking for her! Did you drink the punch?" She asked him.
"No, I didn't." He told her.
She sighed in relief. "Good." She said, looking around the room. Everyone was gone looking for Hermione except for around 20 students. They all had confused looks on their faces, wondering where everyone went to.
"What's wrong with the punch?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.
"My God. Are you stupid or something? It has Amortentia in it! I did it to get payback on Hermione for stealing my man!" She screamed at him. Every head in the room was turned towards her and Ron.
Ron had a shocked expression on his face. "Bloody hell, Parkinson! How did you get the infatuation to be with Hermione though? Don't you need like a hair or something belongging to her?"
"Yeah you do. I tugged a piece out of her hair earlier on and finished making the potion. I then slipped two vile's in when no one was looking." She told him. "Come on, we need to find a professor and tell them that we need a potion to get rid of the effects of Amortentia. I know that Harry used one on you two years ago but Harry also drank the punch, so we can't ask him." They both rushed from the hall, in search of an adult.
Hermione was relieved when she found the vile safely still inside the drawer that she had placed it in. She ran back out of her room and into the common room, but stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Jason Huntingdon standing in front of the door. She had only talked to this boy once since first year on the Hogwart's Express. All she knew what that he was a Ravenclaw.
"Jason?" She asked. She didn't dare move forward.
"Hermione." He beamed, smiling.
"Can I help you with something?" She was clutching her wand now.
"You need to be my girlfriend! I can't live without you Hermione." He told her, walking towards her. Her eyes widened. Oh God, no. He put two hands on her shoulder and kissed her before she could do anything. She screamed and pushed him away. She pulled her wand out so fast and screamed "Impedimenta!". Jason fell to the floor unable to move. She stepped over his body and ran out of the common room. No one was around, Thank God. She made her way back down the stairs and ran into Luna Lovegood.
"Oh Hermione! I have been looking everywhere for you." Luna leaned in and kissed Hermione on the lips. Hermione grunted in frustration as she pushed Luna away. "Impedimenta!" She said. Luna also dropped. The more people in a body bind curse would mean less people trying to kiss her. She ran into about 13 people in total on the way to the hall. She used Impedimenta on them all. She turned a corner and saw Ron and Pansy run towards her.
"HERMIONE!" Ron shouted, running towards her. "Thank God you're okay!"
Hermione looked at both of their eyes but they seemed normal. She sighed in relief. "I just body binded 15 students! Your girlfriend included. She kissed me." Hermione told Ron. He laughed.
"We have been running around the school for 10 minutes now looking for a professor to help us get everyone back to normal. No luck so far though." Pansy sighed. "Oh, I thought you should know; Draco is also all loved up with you because of the potion."
Hermione's face dropped. No, Not Draco! She thought. They made their way back to the Great Hall, hexing more student's as they went along. Hermione had to hex Ginny because she tried to snog her. Ron hexed Hannah Abbot and Harry and Pansy hexed Blaise, Colin Creevy, Cho Chang and Neville Longbottom. Daphne Greengrass appeared behind Hermione but thankfully, Pansy hexed her too. They looked around as they entered the Great Hall, no one was there at all. They closed the doors and Hermione used a spell to lock it. They then sat down at a table nearest to the stage. They were silent for a few minutes but then Ron spoke first.
"Now would be the perfect time to tell Hermione, Pansy." He said, looking at his hands in his lap.
Hermione looked up. "Tell me what?" She asked, looking from one to the other.
Pansy took a deep breath then began to speak. "Don't get mad okay?" Hermione nodded. Pansy went into detail about everything that she had done and why. Hermione's mouth was hanging open for all of Pansy's speech.
"That was you in the library that night!" Hermione said, more to herself than Pansy. The girl nodded.
"Why were you looking up Amortentia anyway?" Ron finally spoke. Hermione jumped because she forgot he was in the room.
"Umm.. That doesn't matter." She said, blushing. She told them that she didn't use the potion on anyone and that she still had the vile of Amortentia in her bedroom. They believed her.
"There's something else I have to tell you." Pansy said, standing up. Both Ron and Hermione looked up at her, waiting for her to continue. "I also used the Imperius Curse to get Blaise to somehow distract the teachers. The only problem now is that he also drank the punch so I don't know where he sent them."
Hermione jumped up from her seat, her face red with anger.
"Hermione, calm down." Ron said, also standing up.
"No Ronald. I will not calm down." She screamed at him. She balled her fists up and in one swift movement, she punch Pansy straight in the jaw.
