Happyily ever after?

Chapter 3

[The next day: Harry and Hermione are in the liberary - originally to study.]

Harry: I am sitting on my chair staring into nowhere while Hermione is complaining about the school's book organization system. She is totally unaware of her surroundings and keeps on cursing. My eyes explore the library again. Everything is big and beautiful, especially when the sunset colored light falls through the tall windows like now. I keep on looking around hoping to find something more interesting than Hermione's study explantations. Even though we go here to study and to do homework nearly every day I usually end up doing it in my room late at night. I can't find the motivation to do it here and Hermione is not very helpful. As soon as we enter the library, she's somewhere else - searching for books, reading them and sometimes she writes letters to the editor. Hermione loves the library. It's her favorite place. It's crazy but cute how passioned she is with books. Something suddenly catches my eye - bleachblond hair between the bookshelves.

Malfoy.
What's he doing here?

In all my years at Hogwarts with him, I haven't seen him in the liberary once. That's suspicious. He's seems to be particularly interested in books about potions. For what? Surely not for class. We have potion together and I know there's no need to search for books. Why would he...? A dark guess pops up in the back of my mind. No. The memorie of Malfoy smiling across the room shows up infront of my imagenery eye like so many times before in the last 24hours. He has changed.

Hasn't he?

I haven't even talked to him. Why would I think he's better now?

Stupid me.

He looks like he's planning something and wants it to be a secret - always looking up nervously and checking if someone saw him. Voldemord is defeated. For all I  know. The curiosity is gnawing at me.

I need to know what he is up to.

I sigh and stand up. With my eyes fixed on Malfoy I walk towards him. His grey shining eyes wander over the books fastly. I slight into aisle behind him and take some books out of the shelf to have a better view onto him. Malfoy is wearing his normal school uniform although it looks a little big now - not bad though. His messy blond hair keeps falling into his face. The book he holds between his majestic fingers is called: "All you can know about love potions." a love potion? Why would he need that? I mean yea he's not as popular as he was before the war. But he's still attractive and his family is rich. That's enough for most people. Especially Syligtherins would be happy to get such a "good caught". I heard Pansy still has a crush on him and she's probably not alone. A siver runs across my body. Imaging Malfoy having a crush is weird. But appearently that's the case. I squeeze my eyes together. We had love potion in class once so he must know how to make one. Why does he need more information? Malfoy is about to leave. The book he held before is back in the shelf but another is missing. He putted it under his coat. The cover says: "How to lovepotion - for professionals" The blond leaves the liberary without lending the book.

He doesn't want people to know he has it.

Hermione used to do the same when we secretly made potions. I put my books back and go up to the "All you can know about lovepotions." book. Before I take it and open it I look around checking if someone's watching - as Malfoy had a few minutes ago. The book has 7 chapters. I begin to read:

"Chapter1

Before we start this book we would like to say this:

The lovepotion you may know - the one teached at schools is a changed, less powerful version of the infinita amor.

Only a few powerful witches are capable of making the real love potions. As the name says this potions can't be undone. Once drank you will be falling forever.

We don't want to be responsible for an possible accident that can happen therefore we aren't going to describe it here."

fuck.

Now it makes sense. Malfoy is looking for the infinita amor. Maybe he has already found it in the other book. Why else would he have taken it with him? When...If he knows how to make one he could be incredbly dangerous. This potion can give him the power of influencing anyone. Not just some dumb girl, but important people like McGonagall or.....the minister.

FUCK.

On who is he planning to use it? I start biting my underlip. The version of the love potion we learned took 5 months. Since the real one is more powerful it will take longer - hopefully.

I need to keep an eye on him.

Nervously I go back to my seat. Hermione hasn't noticed I was gone. She's invested in an old Encyclopedia and only takes her eyes of it to make notes on a paper beside the book. I sigh smiling warmly.

Mione is my best friend.

The moment is so beautifully peaceful.

I will keep it that way.
