"We have to help him, Ron." Hermione told her boyfriend. "You know how he is, if you don't push him, he will never make the first move."

"And what do you suggest we do, Hermione? It's not like we can make her so something... We don't even know if she likes him back!" He answered.

"Well, I think there is a way." She smiled. "Come with me to the library."

"Bloody library." Ron said under his breath.

"Did you say something?"

"No, nothing at all."

When Harry entered the 8th year common room Ron and Hermione were going around giving cupcakes to who was there.

"Hello, Harry, do you want a cupcake?" Hermione asked when she saw him.

He grabbed the cupcake she was giving him and ate it while she explained that she had made them herself, not wanting the house elves to have any more work.

"Go give this one to Cho." She said suddenly and gave him a cupcake that was just slightly different from the one he had just ate.

"Ok..." He looked at her suspiciously.

Hermione smiled at her friend and watched as he went in Cho's direction to give her the cupcake. What Hermione wasn't expecting, however, was Malfoy entering the common room in that moment and Harry walking towards him and giving him the bloody spiked cupcake with a nod and a tense "Malfoy".

Draco looked at Potter weirdly, not knowing what to make out of the situation. Why, in the name of Merlin, was bloody Harry Potter giving him a cupcake like they were some sort of Hufflepuff friends?

"Why are you giving me a cupcake, Potter?" He asked.

"It was Hermione's idea." He shrugged. "She's giving cupcakes to everyone."

Then, the boy smiled and walked away living Draco looking at the cupcake in his hand stunned.

After looking around the room and seeing everyone enjoying their cupcakes – even Blaise and Pansy, - Draco took a careful bite and promised himself he would never admit aloud just how good the cupcake actually was.

Only Ron saw the look of terror on Hermione's face as Malfoy ate the cupcake.

"What do you mean, Hermione?" Draco heard someone hissing when he left his dorm room in the middle of the night to go the bathroom.

"I mean exactly what I said, Ron."

"So, Harry gave Malfoy the cupcake he was supposed to give to Cho?"

Draco peeked around the corner at the scene in the common room and saw Granger nodding her head, sitting on the sofa and looking guilty.

"So, what will happen now?" Weasley asked.

"I guess we just have to get ready for a week full of Malfoy... He will want to be with Harry all the time. You know it, Ron, George was the one sending you the potion, he explained everything that would happen once someone had it and, just like he said, the only way it won't change the person's behaviour is if they already have feelings for the person who gave it to them. This is Malfoy and Harry we are talking about."

Draco looked at the two of them in disbelief. If he understood correctly, Granger and Weasley had spiked a cupcake with some kind of love potion George Weasley sold at the store, they gave the cupcake to Potter so he could give it to Cho Chang, but Potter gave the cupcake to Draco and he had eaten it, meaning that he would apparently be in love with Potter for a week.
