Desperate times called for desperate measures, think Theo when to give Draco another potion.
- ... and this has a temporary effect.
- Like what?
- Like, you telling me your feelings, I don't know... Your's feel for Granger...
- Again?
- Yes, you change your attitude toward Granger.
- Nothing has changed, it's just... - he sighed passing his hand over his face - I was surprised when she...
- Punched your face? I know, it's hilarious!
- ... defend yourself and...
- and you ended up falling in love with her?
- What? Are you crazy?
- Am I?
- Obviously! - he stood up with a snort.
He looked around to see if anyone had heard that nonsense.
- I believe you have more respect for her now since she didn't show herself helpless.
- Obviously, she is not helpless, have you forgotten who is the brains of that tin trio? Without her, that Potter was already dead in the first year!
- Riiiiight!
- And no, I'm not falling in love for... for... - because it was so hard to say that, it felt like sand in his throat every time he tried to say that bloody insult - For, you know, the I-Know-Everything! - turning his back on his friend.
Theo laughed as he went back to his potion: after all, don't need to give the potion to his friend, he might not admit it and hadn't realized it yet but he was in love with Granger. Draco was going to be scared when he realized this and Theo would be in the front line to see the shock of this event, and he would invite Blaise to watch with him.
