Swords (Edmund X Reader)

Bezoar (Pt. 1)

I know I mentioned this before, I'm sorry but I don't write smut:// I've never even held hands with a boy and so I don't think I even have the necessary experience. Also to me, it's a bit weird and uncomfortable to write. 

There's a book with just a bunch of Edmund Pevensie smut imagines if you want to check that out (its pretty good). But you won't find that kind of stuff in this book...

anyways back to the story!

Over the next few weeks, Edmund had been spending less and less time with me. He'd explained to me that Draco was going through some complications with his task and he needed to help him.

On the other hand, Harry had been getting frustrated. After trying to talk to Slughorn about the touchy subject of his memories, Slughorn now refused to meet with Harry at all. He'd avoid any means of conversation with him. So, Harry was constantly in a bad mood.

To spend his time, Harry started assessing the Marauder's Map to see when he could find Slughorn. Unfortunately, he started to notice other things. Such as how Edmund and Draco always seemed to disappear right off the map at times.

As his suspicions grew, Harry became wary of Edmund. Every time Harry tried to ask Edmund where he went, Edmund made up some excuse and brushed it off. That made Harry only more interested.

I was up in Harry's dorm after dinner one day, listening to his rant once again. Ron was just shuffling, looking for snacks, around the dorm. I was trying, but failing miserably, to change the topic and reduce his suspicions.

"They can't just disappear off the map!" Harry persisted.

"Maybe he just goes on the pitch to practice Quidditch or something-"

"-First of all, the map would show me. Second of all, why would they need to go together?" Harry flopped back on the bed. "It doesn't fit, something's wrong." He mumbled. I could hear Ron chewing away on something.

"Harry you should stop thinking about them, you-" I started but Ron came up to us suddenly.

"That's beautiful, isn't it? The moon." Ron said, his voice a little higher.

"Divine. Had ourselves a little late-night snack, did we?" Harry grumbled, sitting up and noticing the crumbs on Ron's face.

"It was on your bed, the box. I just thought I'd try one." He answered.

"Or twenty?" I joked.

"I can't stop thinking about her, Harry." Ron mumbled, sitting on the bed and taking a pillow to hug. Ugh, here we go again, talking about Lavender.

"Honestly, you know, I reckon she was starting to annoy you." I pointed.

"She could never annoy me. I think I love her." Ron answered, looking up at the ceiling.

"Well, brilliant." Harry stated dryly.

"Do you think she knows I exist?" Ron's eyes widened.

"I very well hope so. She's been snogging you for three months." I replied.

"Snogging? Who are you talking about?" Ron asked, his face contorted in confusion.

"Who are you talking about?" Harry asked back.

"Romilda, of course. Romilda Vane." Ron answered. I let out a little laugh.

"Okay, very funny. What was that for?" Harry rolled his eyes.

"It's no joke. I'm in love with her!" Ron suddenly got defensive.

"Alright, fine. You're in love with her. Have you ever actually met her?" Harry stood up, slightly annoyed. Hmm, that was weird. Romilda barely talked with Ron. Why the sudden change in heart? I walked over to the box of sweets that Ron had eaten from.

"No." Ron's face saddened. Then it lit up again "Can you introduce me?" I looked over at Harry, pointing at the box.

"Remember Hermione said Romilda was putting love potions in your food well...." The little note on the box said it was from Romilda.

"He needs to see Slughorn." Harry huffed, walking back to Ron.

"Come on, Ron. I going to introduce you to Romilda Vane." He said, helping his friend up. We walked quickly down to Slughorn's office. Harry knocked on the door. Slughorn peeped through the little hole and as soon as he saw Harry, he looked away.

"I'm busy, boy, come later." He said plainly.

"I'm sorry, sir. I wouldn't bother you if it weren't absolutely essential." I spoke up. Slughorn paused at my words.

"Miss Y/L/N?" He asked.

"Yes sir, we need your help." I answered back. Slughorn opened the door.

"What's the matter with Wenby?" Slughorn pointed to Ron, who was smiling senselessly.

"Very powerful love potion." Harry explained.

"Very well, better bring him in. I always thought you could whip up a remedy for this is in no time, Harry." Slughorn ushered us inside.

"Well, I-I thought this called for more practiced hands, sir." Harry complimented.

"Hello, darling. Fancy a drink?" Ron dazed over to me.

"Perhaps, you're right." Slughorn agreed. I helped Ron over to the couch.

"I'm sorry, by the way, Professor, about the other day. Our misunderstanding." Harry said, attempting to apologize about the last time he'd asked Slughorn for information.

"Oh, not at all. Old water under the bridge, you know. Correct?" Slughorn muttered, mixing up some things on the counter.

"Well, I expect you're tired a bit, after all these years. And the questions about Voldemort." Harry said.

"Don't use that name!" Slughorn exclaimed. He mixed the final thing and brought over the glass to Ron. "Here you go, boy. Bottom's up."

"What's this?" Ron asked.

"Tonic for the nerves." Slughorn said. Ron drank it, then shuddered.

"What happened to me?" Ron said slowly, the love potions effects were wearing off.

"A love potion." I explained.

"A bloody strong one at that." Slughorn walked back to his drink's cabinet.

"I feel really bad" Ron muttered.

"You need to pick me up, my boy. Got butterbeer, wine, ooh this oak-matured mead ought to do well." Slughorn brought over 4 glasses. The bottle seemed familiar. "I had other intentions for this..." He looked at the bottle, "But I think, given the circumstances. Here you are, Potter..." He started to pour everyone a glass. My blood turned cold. This was the poison!

I had to find a way to stop them from drinking it. But I couldn't knock it out of their hands, that would raise suspicion. "To life!" Slughorn toasted. I had to do whatever I could to save my friends.

I quickly chugged it down my throat before anyone else.
