A Malfoy and a Mudblood Chapter 3 - HOTNLulu

Hermione fumed.

Ron went to such lengths to ‘please’ her and it turned out to be just a foul prank. She should have known the moment she saw his signature at the bottom of the page. She wanted to scream and shout and hex his bloody arse, but she knew she couldn’t do that. She had to play his game.

*Time skip to the next day*

“Hi Jessica! Are you liking Hogwarts?”

Jessica Parsons was a first year Gryffindor, and she was really rather shy around Hermione Granger. She was a war hero after all.

“Y-yes.”

“Good, I’m happy to hear it. Can you do me a favour and follow me to my dorm?”

“Of course!” Jessica squeaked, and quickly scampered off behind Hermione in the corridor.

Hermione felt slightly guilty for using Jessica’s young innocence, but it was for a good cause, she reminded herself. She slowed down her walking pace a little, self conscious that Jessica couldn’t catch up with her long strides. She had already prepared some weak Veritaserum - not weak enough to do nothing, but not strong enough to see through the fake love Amortentia creates. If this were consumed along with said Amortentia, the person would reply that they loved whoever the potion brewer wanted them to if asked.

They reached Hermione, Ginny, Parvati and Lavender’s dorm. Hermione passed the pumpkin juice containing the Veritaserum in it to Jessica, and slowly watched as her eyes slid out of focus and looked straight at an empty patch of air next to Hermione’s left ear.

“Can you hear me?”

“Yes.”

“Are you under the effects of weak Veritaserum?”

“Yes.”

“Do you love anyone excluding family members?”

“I have a crush on Leo Naga, a Slytherin in my year.”

Hermione’s eyes widened at this. Leo Naga was a Slytherin! And Jessica Parsons was a Gryffindor! He was a Metamorphmagus though, so she could see what attracted Jessica to him. Hermione viewed him as a mini Malfoy, having the Slytherin girls swooning over him. She remembered both boys’ sorting, the hat having barely touched their hair before crying out “Slytherin!”. She pushed the thought out of her head and returned to Jessica.

“Eat this.”

She put the “Fudge Sundae” chocolate into Jessica’s hand and Jessica bit into it. She quickly swallowed the whole thing in one go.

“Can you hear me?”

“Yes.”

“Are you under the effects of Amortentia and weak Veritaserum?”

“Yes.”

“Do you love anyone excluding family members?” Hermione repeated her previous question.

“I love Draco Malfoy.”
