Accidentally In Love

Professor Slughorn tapped his wand to the board. "These are the group partners for today's potion. It's a really strong love potion that wears off naturally. There currently are no spells or potions to counteract it, so please, do not spill even a drop on you. If you do, it will be twenty-four hours of being madly in love with the first person you see."

Hermione looked to the board and groaned. Her partner was none other than Malfoy. It was a good thing that he was late. Hermione could probably finish the potion before he showed up. And so it was.

Hermione was able to finish the potion before he showed up. She raised her hand to get professor Slughorn's attention. Just then, a hand touched the back of her shoulder causing her to drop her stirring spoon. "I'm sorry, Hermione dear. I hope nothing splashed onto you." Professor Slughorn apologized.

Hermione shook her head and bent down to grab the spoon. She reached for the handle and groaned when her fingers came across something wet.

"Is everything alright?"

"Professor, I think some of the potion splashed onto the handle when the spoon fell."

"Oh, my." Hermione kept her eyes glued to floor as professor Slughorn's warning came to mind. "Don't look anyone in the eye." He warned before she saw his feet shuffle off. She could hear him muttering as things shuffled and clinked together in the classroom. Professor Slughorn's feet shuffled back into Hermione's periphery vision. "You'll have to wear this till the effects wear off." Hermione felt something soft and silky slide over her eyes before everything went dark.

"A blind fold?" Hermione fingered the silky material. "Am I to understand that I am to wear this for twenty-four hours? How am I supposed to go to classes?"

"I'll let professor Mcgonagall know that you can't attend classes for the day."

"I can't miss any. I'll get behind!"

"Hermione, you just got a get out of jail free card and you're already complaining?" Ron chuckled at his school obsessed friend.

Professor Slughorn put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry dear, with your grades, you won't fall behind after missing a day. You could probably miss a month and still be far ahead of everyone else. Well, except for Mr. Potter, course."

"Professor Slughorn, should I escort Hermione back to her room?" Harry came up and squeezed on of her hands.

She did want to have someone walk her back just in case but she also wanted to be alone. She was angry at herself for making such a stupid mistake. She should have levitated the spoon back up instead of grabbing it with her hand. Making up her mind, she place her other hand on what she presumed to be Harry's shoulder. "Thank you, Harry, but I want to be on my own. Plus, you haven't finished your potion yet." Hermione could hear Harry opening his mouth to argue. "I know the corridors like the back of my hand. I can find my way back without my eyes."

Slughorn clapped his hands together. "Very well then. Good luck, Ms. Granger."

Hermione was able to gather up her belongings with a little help from Harry before she left the room. She let her thoughts wander as she scolded herself.

She walked for a little while longer before coming to a complete stop. For some reason, the hall smelt differently. She put a hand on the wall and started feeling around, hoping to find something to tell her where she was.

"Granger? What are doing? Nevermind that, what are you wearing?" She groaned inwardly at her luck, or there for lack of it. Out of all the people to find her, it had to be Malfoy? How come it couldn't have been Harry, or Ron, or even Neville. She would have even taken Luna.
