"Why have you all been following Malfoy?"

"I don't think you are entitled to ask that considering the huge obsession you caught on Malfoy in 6th year," replied Hermione half-giggling and half-serious in a way only Hermione was able to do.

He didn't reply to her comment and waited for an answer to his question.

"We sneaked a 24-hour love potion in Malfoy's drink this morning and we are waiting for it to make effect," replied Ernie Macmillan.

"Don't say 'we', Hermione, Neville, Dean and I tried to stop the three of you," said Ron quickly referring to Ernie, Justin Finch-Fletchley and Seamus Finnigan.

"With whom he should be falling in love with?" Everyone suddenly turned back to look at him but none of them really looked him in the eyes. "What?" he asked, even more intrigued.

"We really tried to stop them, Harry," began to say Hermione, and Harry was starting to get angry at her tone. It was the tone she always used when she didn't want him to get mad, which just made him angrier.

"We told them it was stupid," added Dean.

"I didn't even know about this until a few minutes ago," added Neville. All of them were avoiding his question as well as his eyes.

"Who is he supposed to fall for?" He sounded pissed now.

"With em... someone who... may have killed Voldemort..." replied Ron hesitantly.

"You made him fall for me?!" asked Harry, leaving his hidden spot behind the door of the Potions class where they were all spying on Malfoy. The seven people in front of him shushed him and tried to pull him behind the door again. "Have you gone mental?! What in Merlin's tits has gotten into you?!" he hissed at them.

"Harry, calm down, nothing has happened until now. He has been acting nothing different the whole morning," replied Seamus whispering and sounding disappointed.

"I don't understand. If you gave it to him around three hours ago it ought to have made an effect by now," replied Hermione looking at Malfoy seated on his usual seat inside the Potions class, peacefully doing some work. They were all in a free period but since they had Potions after that period, Malfoy apparently had decided to get inside at once, being allowed by Slughorn, who was in his desk checking some paperwork.

"Maybe it's because he hasn't seen Harry?" suggested Justin.

"Go and try to help him with his work Harry. We want to see him embarrass himself," said Ernie giggling.

"I am not going to do such a thing. I told you all to leave Malfoy alone at the beginning of the year. You are not going to use me as part of your stupid joke." He intended to leave but as soon as he turned his back, Slughorn called them all inside for their Potions lessons.

"Sit in pairs, please. Today we'll work in pairs," he said as the students got inside the classroom.

Harry was used to being Malfoy's partner by now since Ron and Hermione always paired up together (also because nobody liked to be Malfoy's partner), but today was different. Today Malfoy was supposed to act differently.

He sat at Malfoy's side and gave him a quick, nervous smile which was returned gleefully.

Neither of them spoke, just paying attention to Slughorn's instructions but Harry stopped paying attention in the middle of the explanation. His attention was directed to Ernie and Justin who were looking at both of them, or well, at Malfoy. He didn't want Malfoy to notice this and make him uncomfortable considering that everything was going rather fine.
