Liquid Luck

florence pov

Hermione, Ron, Harry and I had met up after classes in the common room. We had all agreed to try and help Harry make a plan to get Slughorn's memory.

"So, any luck with it yet?" Ron asked, watching the fire burn in front of us.

"No. Slughorn's avoiding me."

"What's your plan?" I asked.

"I don't know. I don't think he's going to forgive me anytime soon."

"Luck. That's it. All you need is a bit of luck!" Hermione exclaimed.

"What are you on about?"

"The liquid luck Slughorn gave you!"

"Harry used it on me, remember?" Ron said.

Harry pulled out the full vial from his pocket. "Nope. You only thought we did."

Ron's mouth dropped open. "S-so that was all me?"

The three of us nodded.

"Bloody hell." Ron's face lit up and a proud look spread across his face.

I patted his back proudly as he smiled cheerfully.

Harry popped the top off the liquid luck. He looked around at us all for approval and we all nodded eagerly. He downed it all in one go.

We waited to see the potion's effects take place. Nothing had changed, except the huge grin plastered across his face.

"Well, how do you feel?" I asked.

"Excellent, really excellent!" He exclaimed loudly as he jumped off the couch.

"Remember, Slughorn usually eats early, takes a walk, and then returns to his office." Hermione said.

"Right." He paused and cheerfully turned to us all. "I'm going down to Hagrid's."

"What? No! Harry you've got to go and speak to Slughorn!" She urged.

Harry wasn't listening to a word. He grabbed his jacket and began to head for the portrait hole.

"Hey! We had a plan!" I yelled after him.

"I know, but I've a got a good feeling about Hagrid's. I feel it-it's the place to be tonight. Do you know what I mean?"

"No." We replied in unison.

"Well, trust me. I know what I'm doing. Or, felix does." He said brightly as he disappeared into the portrait hole.

Even the way he was talking seemed different. It was more upbeat and merry. It was funny, honestly.

Hermione huffed and turned to Ron and I. "Okay, who's going with him?"

"I will. Someone has to." I sighed before grabbing my jacket and running after him.

When I caught up with him, I was greeted with an even happier expression than before. Which I didn't think was possible.

"Hi! What're you doing here?" He asked.

"Just thought I'd join you."

"Hey, chaser." Cormac grinned as he walked over to us.

"Oh. Hello Cormac." I smiled awkwardly.

"Care to accompany me to the library? Or my dorm if you'd prefer that?" He winked.

I opened my mouth to politely decline but before I had the chance, Harry grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me into a very passionate kiss. His hands travelled down my back as he leaned over me. When we pulled away, I looked at him in a pleasantly confused sort of way.
