Amortentia Part 2

A/N

So here is part two of the Amortentia story... except it kind of turned into three parts.

And I threw in a "Zap" au...

Let's see how this turns out...

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters.

Harry P.O.V.

"Come on, Harry, you have to admit you've been a bit sullen lately." Hermione had been berating him yet again to find a boyfriend. Harry knew she wouldn't have been nearly this insistent if she hadn't been feeling guilty about all the time her and Ron had been spending together since they became a couple.

Speaking of Ron, Harry shot a desperate glance toward his best friend, hoping at least he would be on his side.

"Sorry mate," Ron shrugged apologetically, "you have been kinda sad lately."

So much for friendship.

The three of them were just leaving breakfast in the Great Hall, when Hermione had decided to start up her new favorite topic of "when will Harry get a boyfriend?"

If he hadn't already been completely hung up over someone, he would have found her antics to be no more than mildly irritating; however, knowing she wouldn't back down until he either told her his crush, or found a boyfriend, her insistence was beginning to grate on his nerves.

And there was no way he would ever admit out loud who his crush was.

"Harry watch out!"

Harry ducked just as a purple bolt of light shot past, just barely grazing his hair.

There was an epidemic running rampant through Hogwarts that year; some genius had invented a spell called the "Zap Curse," which, when struck with it, temporarily tattoos the name of its victim's crush on the palm of their hand. And the name stays there until it is shown to the owner of said name.

Needless to say, Harry Potter seemed to be the prime target of every single girl in the school. It was to the point that Hermione and Ron had taken to glancing around corners for him whenever they walked through the halls.

The caster of this particular curse managed to disappear around to corner before any of the three of them could get a good look at who it was.

"Bloody hell, that's the fifth time this week." Ron shook his head in dismay.

"You'd think they would know better than to fire spells at a war veteran; particularly you, Harry." Hermione muttered.

Harry said nothing. Half of him desperately avoided being hit, but the other part of him half wanted it to happen, just so that he would have an excuse to force himself to finally confess to his best friends exactly who it was he was crushing on.

He wasn't sure how his crush would react to his confession however, except to curse him out of his skin.

Harry sighed deeply, "I have to go talk to Ginny."

Hermione and Ron glanced at one another quickly, before nodding, and leaving Harry to track down the youngest Weasley. Both of them knew that he and Ginny had pretended to date one another a couple years back to hide both of their sexualities; which resulted in a fast friendship between the two, though with Ginny being in a different year they hadn't been able to talk much since the school year began.

After half an hour of searching, he finally found her in the library, along with Luna and Neville.

"Hey." Harry approached their table.
