Love potion (ON GOING)

Confused and flustered

(Only like keeping my chapters within 1100 words so cutting it a bit short)

Word count- 1105

Once ginny started sobbing she ran away to her dorm. Ron and Hermione had a tough decision to make, should they tell their professors. If so Ginny might get in trouble, no.. she would get in trouble possibly even expelled. After a while of discussing the situation they realized that if Ginny were to get expelled that would ruin her future. So telling the professors are not an option but telling Draco... it had to be done. They thought about telling Harry but after doing research they out that people under love potions tend to get aggressive when getting fed "false" information about the person they fell in love with.

Hermione sighed 'why'd it have to be Draco' she thought. "Who's gonna tell Draco" she stared at Ron, who started fidgeting with his hands, Ron didn't want to he hated draco and he knew if they started talking it wouldn't end civilized.

"I don't think making ginny tell Draco about the potion is a good idea, I have a feeling that won't go too well, especially with Draco being the angry person he is. So it's between you and me." Silence filled the room after hermione said that. She sighed she knew Ron wouldn't do it and even thought she didn't want to do it, it's probably the best outcome. "I'll do it" she said reluctantly. Ron's face lit up, then he quickly masked his expression.

- Draco pov -

I reached into the bathroom drawer and grabbed a bandage then put a white bandaid over my neck where the "inconvenience" was. I looked into the mirror and stared back at myself 'What if Crabbe and Goyle had seen the the, umm... 'love bite' Potter left on my neck'. 'Is it hot in here?' I think as I finally acknowledge how hot my face feels 'I'm just tired... I'll go to bed then figure things out later'. I walk out of the bathroom and stop for a minute I can feel Crabbe and Goyle's eyes lingering on me. 'It's okay.. they didn't see the hickey-' I try to reassure myself as I crawl into bed and snuggle into the warmth underneath the blankets as I drift off to sleep.

- Next Day - Third person pov -

It's morning, everyone is in the dining hall for breakfast. Harry, Hermione, and Ron and sitting at their table like normal, but something's not normal. There's an interesting vibe in the air and Harry can't quite figure out what's wrong.

"What's going on?" Harry says staring wide-eyed at Hermione and Ron.

"Nothing.." Ron squeaks tapping his fingers, one after another, against the table. Hermione jabs him in the hip and mummers words just loud enough for just Ron to hear. Ron nods and turns his attention back at Harry, tapping his fingers faster.

"I was thinking we should hang out today" Ron grins, "we could play chess or.. Study?" He shrugs. Harry was a bit suspicious of what was going on he but agreed, it's been a while sense he hung out with his best friend, why wouldn't he agree.

While Ron and Harry continued to talk Hermione was thinking about how she was going to approach Draco and she was especially thinking about what she should say. After a couple minutes of thinking she came up with a plan after chess in the (something room I forgot what it's called 😰) Harry and Ron would go back to the dormitory to hang out in the common room while she met up with Draco and told him about what Ginny did to Harry.

- Because I have no original ideas it is now potions class lol -

It was almost time for class Draco was the last person to enter, but he didn't want to enter. He was standing outside the door gripping onto his pants pocket. He still has six more days until this "partner project" is over. The bell rang, Draco walked into the class and made his way over to Harry. He felt his cheeks warming up as he sat down next to Harry. He felt annoyed, or at least that's how he wanted to feel.

Snape started lecturing the class on what the assignment was today, but Harry didn't pay attention he was too busy having his eyes locked on Draco. Draco could barely pay attention because he could practically feel Harry's eyes on him.

Hermione didn't know how to feel as she stared at Harry who was fawning over Draco.

After Snape finished instructions the class starting chattering, mostly about the assignment and some other random things.

"Sooo... Potter" Draco half-smiled awkwardly trying to start a conversation while looking at anything but Harry.

"Yes, Draco?" He grinned.

"Don't say my name like that..!" Draco stuttered, finally making eye contact with the black haired boy.

"Like what?" He teased, "Draco?".

"Yes! Call me Malfoy" Draco said flustered, "it's weird when you call me Draco" he murmured a bit quieter.

"Okay, fine. What are we doing in class today." Harry asked.

'That's right. What are we doing today? I only heard half of what Snape said' Draco looked around to see what other people were doing.

"I'm not sure" Draco admitted, "why don't you know" he already knew the answer he was interested in what Harry would say.

"Because I was staring at your handsome face" Harry replied with no hesitation at all, which caught Draco off guard causing him to choke on his own spit.

"Why would you say that?!" Draco yelled, his face turning pink from ear to ear, he wasn't used to compliments and never knew what to do when he got one.

Hermione glanced over when she heard Draco yell, she knew exactly why he was yelling but what confused her was why he seemed to be blushing. She ignored it though and continued on.

Eventually Harry and Draco figured out what they were supposed to do and managed to barely completed it by the time class was over. 'Ring Ring' The bell rang, which means it's now a free period. Harry and Ron had made plans that morning so he reluctantly left Draco after class. Draco was about to leave when he was stopped by a familiar face. He was surprised to see her.

"What do you want.?" He asked her in a confused tone.

"I need to talk to you" she spoke in a guilty-like tone, broke eye contact and looked down to the floor as she played with strands of her hair.
