I Love You (No Really)

Severus was brewing up a special potion. He laughed to himself as he thought of what he Sirius ad Remus had cooked up next. Since potions seemed to be his forte, he decided to make Umbridge a "special" potion. And what might that be? Oh yes. A love potion. Which was to be delivered during Harry's Defense class.

Harry, Ron and Hermione sat in the front of the room during defense. Time had passed since the House-elf incident, which is what the kinder students where referring to their professor's change into an elf. The crueler and the students who just plain hated Umbridge were referring to it as Payback for the Toad. Either way, They put there wands away and too their books out in anticipation for another boring lesson.

As they expected, the class started with the order wands away (not that anyone kept them out anymore), and went downhill from there. They were set to read yet another chapter in that dreadful book and were in the midst of reading when Snape walked in. He was carrying a pink potion and went over to Umbridge. After the two teachers had somewhat of a whispered conversation, Umbridge gulped down the potion. Then to everyone's confusion Snape yelled, "Potter!" randomly Then after Umbridge looked toward him, Snape just turned and left.

Just as the whole class was staring at the door in confusedness, Umbridge came over to Harry.

"Harry," she said in a strange voice, "How would like to come help your favorite teacher with a little task? Hm?"

Harry suspected this one another one of Umbridge's mind games but didn't know how to respond to that. "Um, what do you need?" he asked, afraid of what the answer would be.

"Just some company, sweetie. Let's say you and me, tea this afternoon," she spoke again in her strange voice.

Harry searched for an excuse while the class looked on eagerly, "Um I have detention. With Professor Snape."

Umbridge put on a sad face, "I'll get him to cancel it. My favorite student shouldn't get detention."

The whole class gasped. Umbridge had just call Harry Potter her favorite student. Everyone knew how much she loathed Potter.

Harry was very confused, "Um, okay then."

Umbridge studied Harry, "You know Harry. You should really get contacts. It's sad how your glasses are hiding those beautiful green eyes. They're like little emeralds."

"Um okay then."

By now the whole class was snickering into their books, unsure of what was going on. It sounded like Umbridge was attempting to flirt with Harry. But that was impossible.

"Harry. Have I every told you how much I admire you?"

"Uhhhh no." Harry said, hoping this class would end soon.

"Your so brave standing up to me like that. Even if you are wrong. But I don't think you need to lie for attention. You have mine by just being in the room!"

"Um, Professor, You hate me."

"Oh Harry. Professor is so formal. Just call me Dolores. And I don't hate you. How could anyone hate you?" Umbridge said in what passed for her sweet voice.

"Um okay Professor." Harry was just dumbfounded.

"Nuh Uh. Dolores."

"Okay Dolores?" Harry said making it sound like a question

"Oh Harry. That sounds so hot when you say it."

Suddenly the bell rang and Harry could not get out of there fast enough. Soon the whole school was talking about Professor Umbridge hitting on Harry Potter in defense class.

An hour later when the potion wore off, Umbridge screamed. She could not believe she had just done that! She ended up thinking that potion Severus gave her to get rid of her toad face had some unexpected side-effects.

Hey everyone. You all probably hate me right now, for stopping the story and all. But a little while ago I had an epiphany. There's a story I obsessively follow and then the author stopped posting. Then you all, months after I've last posted, still favorite and review my story. So I figured I owe you all! You all are what keeps me writing! Hope you all forgive me! AND REVIEW!
