《Elegance | Harry Potter》Year 6-11 | Love Potion

"Evelyn," Someone was shaking my arm though I didn't want to get up, "Evelyn, wake up."
I opened my eyes slightly to see Hermione standing over me extremely worried. Next to her was Ginny who looked down at me slightly annoyed.
"What do you want Hermione?" I muttered sitting up and rubbing my eyes. It was still early in the morning and a lot of the other girls were still asleep.
"Ron's been poisoned."
"Ron's been what?!" That was enough to get me wide awake. I didn't wait for Harry to come back last night and just went to sleep. Of course, whenever I'm not around these things happen.
"Yeah, he's in the hospital wing right now," Hermione whispered crossing her arms anxiously.
"What about Harry?"
"He's there too," Ginny replied looking away and leaving the room without waiting for us.
"Alright, I'll meet you there," I said getting out of bed stretching. Hermione left right as I said that, honestly I'm surprised she wasn't full on panicking. Anyway, who would try to poison Ron out of all people?
I started to change into my uniform and out of my pajamas, putting my hair into a bun. From the corner of the room, I couldn't help but notice a glare from Romilda. Seems like Ginny isn't the only one who started to dislike me only because I started dating Harry.
"Good morning Romilda," I said smiling slightly. She didn't reply and continued to glare at me. Her gaze was following me until I left the Girl's dormitories.
"Wait!" Lavender called out running up to me in the common room, "Have you seen Ron?"
I paused before I replied, I guess, since she is his girlfriend technically, she has the right to know. "He's been poisoned last night apparently, he's in the hospital wing right now."
"What?!" She exclaimed covering her mouth, "By who?"
"I don't know. I haven't talked to him since yesterday."
"And why didn't anyone tell me? I'm his girlfriend!"
"I found out through Hermione-"
"Hermione? They told Hermione and not me?"
"Well I-"
Before I could finish my sentence, she grabbed my wrist and dragged me with her out the common room. She was running super fast on the urge of crying, she really did care for him. I couldn't help but feel bad for her, she was clueless of what Ron felt of her.
"Where is he? Where's my Won Won? Has he been asking for me?" She yelled catching her breath as we entered the hospital wing. Around Ron's bed were Harry, Hermione, and Ginny along with Professor McGonagall, Slughorn, Snape and Dumbledore.

"Morning," I whispered standing beside Harry. Harry though didn't reply and rather stepped further away from me. I looked over slightly hurt but he didn't even seem to budge.
"What's she doing here?" Lavender said catching her breath still.
"Might I ask you the same question?" Hermione snapped standing up from her seat.
"I happen to be his girlfriend!"
"I happen to be his... Friend."
"Don't make me laugh. You haven't spoken in weeks! I suppose you want to make up with him now that he's suddenly all interesting."
"He's been poisoned you daft bimbo! And for the record I've always found him interesting!"
Honestly, this was slightly embarrassing. All the professors were all still watching. Snape had no change in expression while Professor McGonagall was trying to hide a laughter. Ron suddenly started to mumble things grabbing my attention once again. He was awake alright, but maybe not fully conscious.
"Ah, see? He senses my presence," Lavender said walking and leaning down towards him. "Don't worry Won Won, I'm here, I'm here."
Ron mumbled something again that I couldn't hear correctly. Hermione looked back up at me concerned but looked back down quickly.
"Er..mione.." He mumbled once again. My eyes shot up towards Harry though he didn't look my way.
"Her..mione....Hermione..." He mumbled a bit more clearer. Hermione's eyes lit up and she was a bit surprised but she had a smile on her face. She sat back down grabbing his hand looking down at him so dearly. Lavender was surprised too but in a completely different way. She ran out of the hospital wing crying out loud. I felt bad, but it was meant to happen sooner or later.
"Oh to be young... And feel love's keen sting. Well, come on everybody. Mr. Weasley is well tendered," Dumbledore said walking out as the rest of the professors followed.
"About time don't you think?" Ginny whispered at Harry with a smile walking out. I'm... Right here?
"What happened to him?" I asked clearing my throat.
"He drank some Honey matured mead that was supposed to be a gift to Dumbledore last night with Harry and Professor Slughorn." Hermione answered not taking her eyes off of Ron.
"What? Harry, you drank it too? Are you alright?"
"I didn't drink it. Ron collapsed before Professor Slughorn and I could take a sip." He replied not looking at me.
"Well what were you two doing with Slughorn last night anyway? I understand you but Ron?"

"He was under a love potion so I went to Slughorn with him."
"A love potion? From Lavender?"
"...It was originally for Harry from Romilda but Ron took it." Hermione replied instead eyeing me. Romilda gave Harry a love potion, that's funny. I could feel something snap and my blood started to boil. Romilda gave Harry a love potion, Romilda gave Harry a Love potion. She was in the common room last time I saw her so she should still be there.
"I'll see you guys later," I said turning around to leave.
"Hey no no no no. Where're you going?" Harry said quickly grabbing my wrist.
"To Romilda of course."
"No you are not."
"What? I just want to talk to her." I said throwing his hand off and stomping out. Of course I was just going to have a little talk, maybe with a couple of hexes while I'm at it.
Just as I was walking up the circular stairs back up to the Gryffindor Common Room, I noticed Draco also making his way up the circular staircases. No one was with him, only him. He looked like he hadn't slept for a while now, he was walking so... Aimlessly. I started to follow him in the corridors making sure he wouldn't see me.
He stopped walking in front of a wall I knew too well. He took a deep breath closing his eyes and the wall began to reveal a door. The room of requirements, where we practiced our DADA spells last year until we got caught. He walked inside the room making sure no one was following him. The Room of Requirements only shows for people who are in the great need of something. What would Draco want to find in the room, that was the question.
I waited for him to come out, he was in there for a while. I was getting tired of waiting and leaned against a wall just waiting. No students were walking past the corridors near the room of requirements, it was just oddly silent.
"Evelyn? What are you doing here?" Draco called out making me jump a little.
"I could ask you the same thing."
"I was practicing my spells."
"Practicing your spells?" I scoffed walking up to him. I noticed a white feather on the sleeve of his shirt. It wasn't hard to notice because of his plain black suit. I picked up the feather slowly off of his shirt, it was a tiny one. It couldn't be from a pillow or other furniture.
"What the hell are you doing?" He spat slapping my hand away.
"Well what the hell were you doing in the room of requirements?"
"That's none of your business," He spat again walking away. Merlin, he's never going to forgive me for what I said to him at the party is he.
~***~
I waited in the common room with my arms crossed for Romilda to walk in. She wasn't in the girl's dormitories or the common room when I came back after meeting Draco. It's almost part curfew anyway so sooner or later she'd come. Harry hasn't been talking to me ever since we were gathered around in the Hospital wing, it honestly feels like he's been avoiding me.
"Evelyn, please, let's just go to sleep," Hermione said sighing while leaning against the couch.
"She's gotta come any moment now."
"And if she does? What are you-" Hermione never finished her sentence. Our attention was quickly drawn to an annoying group of giggling girls entering the common room. In the middle was the same black-haired girl, Romilda.
I quickly got up grabbing my wand though Hermione was quick enough to hold me back. Romilda backed up a little before smirking at me. Really, I felt something snap.
"Did he enjoy the chocolates?" She asked while the girls behind her kept giggling.
"He didn't eat it knowing it came from you," I lied. The girls just broke in the laughter and didn't even try to hide the fact they were mocking me.
"Are you sure about that?"
"I'm literally part veela. Why would he leave me for you?" I muttered furrowing my eyebrows. Her smile disappeared real quick and turned into a frown.
"I love Harry for who he is, not just because he's the chosen one you bitch," I spat before storming off to the girl's dormitories. If only Hermione didn't hold me back, I'd be practicing all my hexes on her.
"Love?" Hermione said with a smile getting into bed. My face started to heat up realizing what I had said. It was in the heat of the moment, I didn't even realize I said I loved Harry Potter.
