"Madam Pomfrey, what is wrong with her?" Ron asked as Hermione continued to shout things about Draco.
"It looks like someone slipped Miss. Granger a love potion, and a very strong one at that if I am not mistaken" She said looking over at Hermione with amusement written all over her face.
Ron's face went beat red in anger. "And what the hell is that supposed to mean? Is there something that you can give her so it stops?"
"I will not sit here and have you talk to me so disrespectfully Mr. Weasley. And as to answer your previous question, no there is nothing that I can do. The skill level of this potion is greater than any I have ever seen, which means that it is more powerful, and I have nothing that can counteract the effect that this potion has. If I am correct, and I think I am, the only way that this love potion can wear off is if the person that Miss Granger has fallen head over heels for ends up loving her back. That is the only way that the spell can be broken" Madam Pomfrey said.
Ginny's mouth dropped open in disbelief, along with Harry's. Ron on the other hand, exploded in anger.
"You have GOT to be kidding me! You do realize who the person is that Hermione has become smitten over do you not? There is no way in HELL that Malfoy is going to fall in love with her! And if Hermione was still herself, there would be no way that she would be in love with him either! There must be something that you can do!" Ron said angrily.
"I'm sorry Mr. Weasley, but I have already told you that there is nothing that I can do" Madam Pomfrey said.
"Gin, grab Hermione and meet us back at the common room" Harry said as he grabbed Ron's wrist and dragged him out of the hospital wing and into the corridor.
"Did you hear what she said Harry?" Ron asked, still in a bad mood.
"I did. But you picking a fight with the school nurse isn't exactly going to help our situation. We will figure this out Ron. I don't care how long it takes, we will find a way to remove this potion and get our Hermione back. But in the mean time you are going to have to keep your cool and help me out with this alright?" Harry asked.
Ron mumbled his agreement.
"Common Hermione, we're going to go shopping like we originally planned alright?" Ginny said as they exited the nurses office.
"Okay. Will you help me find some cute clothes that Draco would like?" Hermione asked.
Ginny looked over at Harry and Ron before eyeing Hermione skeptically and saying "Sure, if that's what you want"
"Thanks Gin! You're the best!" Hermione said as she hugged Ginny and practically ran down the corridor.
Ginny laughed at Hermione's perkiness and ran after her friend.
Ron looked over at Harry and said "We'd better find a cure now. I don't know how much longer I can listen to Hermione going on about Malfoy before I throw up"
Harry smirked at his friends obvious jealousy and said "Ron, don't worry. She doesn't actually feel that way about him, she's acting this way because of a spell. None of it is real, and once we go and talk to Dumbledore and try and do some research of our own I'm sure that we will find a way to bring her back to normal. She's still the same person, she's just in love with Malfoy. Perhaps we can even trick her into helping us study and look for information on how to lift the spell. If anyone knows where to look for information, it's Hermione"
"You're right. Let's go and talk to Dumbledore and see what he has to say" Ron said regaining hope as he started walking towards Dumbledore's office with Harry at his side.

Draco was absolutely livid. He could not believe the nerve of Pansy. Not only that, but he couldn't believe that she would steal his project that was not meant for personal use, and then go and use it against him of all people. He didn't need a love potion to make girls fall for him, it came to him naturally. And for her to go and give it to the Mudblood of all people?! Draco seriously wished that Pansy was a guy so he could punch her in the face. She had no idea what she had just done. This may have been her idea of a joke, but it was not funny in the slightest. Even if it had been one of those stupid love potions that the Weasley twins sold at their shops that only lasted for a while, it wouldn't even have been funny then.
Not only was Draco pissed, but he was panicking. He didn't know what he was supposed to do. He knew that there was no cure for the potion, and that there was no chance that it would wear off. The only way that the spell would lift would be if he, himself, were to fall in love with the Mudblood. What a joke that was. There was no way in hell that he was going to fall for her even in the slightest. And he did NOT want to have to put up with her more than he already had to.
He found himself walking towards his potions masters quarters, knowing that Snape would be there. Draco was not one who often went and asked for help, but this was beyond him and he was HOPING that maybe Snape might know something about the potion that he didn't.
Draco knocked on the door and Snape answered immediately.
"Draco? What can I do for you?" Snape asked.
"That potion that you had me doing for an extra credit, how much to do you know about it?" Draco asked.
"Enough. Why do you ask?" Snape asked him.
"Is there any way to counteract the potion?" Draco asked trying not to sound too anxious.
"Draco, you know just as well as I do that that is not possible" Snape said, raising his eyebrows at him suspiciously. "Does this by any chance have anything to do with what took place in the Great Hall earlier?"
"If you're referring to the Mudblood then yes" Draco said angrily.
"How did Miss Granger get a hold of your love potion Draco? I told you how powerful and dangerous that could be in the wrong hands. I thought you said that you had it in a place that nobody would be able to have access to it. You promised me that if I let you do this potion for your extra credit that you would take the extra safety precautions so a situation like this would never happen!" Snape said getting angry.
"It WAS in a safe place! Until Pansy decided she wanted to get revenge on me because I told her I don't have feelings for her" Draco hissed.
"I'm sorry Draco, but there is nothing that I can do to help you. I told you the importance of keeping this potion out of sight and not telling anyone about its existence, you failed to follow those instructions so you must deal with the consequences" Snape said.
"Consequences?!" Draco snapped. "We both know that the only way that the potion will be lifted is if I fall in love with the Mudblood, and we also both know that is never going to happen."
"You got yourself into this situation, and you're the only one who can get yourself out" Snape said as he started to close the door. "And never say never" he said as he shut the door in Draco's face.
Draco glared maliciously at the door. He couldn't believe that Snape had told him to deal with the consequences. He clearly blamed Draco for the whole incident, and for once it wasn't even his fault. Pansy had created this mess all because of her jealousy issues. She had known Draco longer than anyone, she knew how Draco was brought up, told that there was no such thing as love and that women were to be used to bare children, why did she think that all of that was going to change for her? He turned away from Snape's door, and headed towards the dungeons, where he knew he would find Pansy. He had a few choice words he needed to say to her.

Hermione and Ginny were in Hogsmeade shopping, and for once in her life Hermione actually wanted to shop and was just as excited about it as Ginny was, something Ginny noticed immediately. She wished that Hermione was always this excited about shopping, it made the trip a lot more fun and interesting because she didn't have to listen to Hermione constantly grumble and moan about how bored she was, and how she would much rather go and spend hours in a book store compared to shopping.
"Ginny! Let's go in this store here!" Hermione said pointing to a shop that had different designer clothes on display on the manikins that stood in the windows.
"Lead the way" Ginny said as she followed her best friend.
When they entered Ginny looked around in awe. She hadn't really come into this store all that much because it was out of her budget, but it had some very nice clothes, something that Hermione beforehand never would have appreciated, but as it was, she was throwing different outfits into a cart that she had grabbed when they walked in. Ginny laughed and grabbed some clothes to try on also, loving her best friends new attitude when it came to shopping.
