Chapter 36 - Love Potion And Unstable Decisions

Harry's POV

Ron and I watched as Hermione finished brewing the potion for Neville, she poured it into a bottle.

"There all done" She said.

"You're brilliant Hermione" I said.

"How are we going to get him to drink it?" Ron asked. I thought for a second.

"When Hannah leaves we tell him she wanted him to drink this, he would surely drink it then" I suggested. That was the best plan we had.

Ron and I talked while we waited for Hannah to leave.

"I'll see you in the morning Nevybear." She said making me want to throw up.

"I love you so much, I miss you already" Neville smiles at her lovingly. It felt weird to see him with her let alone tell her he loved her, he never even said that to Y/n. When she finally left Ron and I jumped up holding the bottle.

"Hey Neville" Ron spoke first.

"Hey guys. Hannah is great isn't she, I miss her so much." He said.

"Right...well she told us to give you this just in case she forgot" I told him handing him the bottle.

"She's so sweet, I'll wait until tomorrow so she can watch my reaction. She always likes to give me drinks when she's with me" Neville smiles holding it.

"NO...I mean she really wanted you to have it now, she didn't want to make you wait" I lied again. He looked at it.

"Well as long as that's what she wanted" Neville uncapped it.

"Yeah that's exactly what she wanted" I said as he drank it. Ron and I watched him closely.

"What's going on?" He suddenly spoke.

"You were under a love potion called heartbreak tears" Ron told him.

"W-What n-no I...What have I done? Where is Y/n? I can't believe I did this to her" Neville was panicked really upset. Ron and I filled him in but it seems he remembers a lot of what he did with Hannah.

Your POV

I wondered back into the common room after a session with the twins, tomorrow we will be going home and Fred and George just wanted me as stable as possible before they had to go home. They put me on an eating plan and removed all sharp object from my possession. I was about to head up to my room when Hannah Abbott got my attention.

"Y/l/n, Neville is the best boyfriend I understand why you manipulated him into dating you" She gave me a sly smile crossing her arms.

"Excuse me, I never manipulated him I truly liked him." I was fuming.

"Only liked, he tells me daily that he loves me and always misses me when I'm not around. Jealousy doesn't look good on you." She raises her eyebrows in victory. I felt what was left of my heart shatter, he never said those words to me. That hurt.

"Con-grats" I tried to stay strong but my voice cracked. I turned to leave.

"Awe did I hurt your feelings. You know the least you could have done was get him to lose weight before I wanted him" She said. I stopped turning back with pure anger in my eyes, but she was very familiar with my track record and stunned me then promptly left.

The next day everyone got on the train. I lied to Fred and George telling them I was going to stay at Hogwarts but after last night I was done I needed to get my mind off of Neville and staying at Hogwarts with nothing to do wasn't going to help me. When we were 15 minutes from London Neville came into my compartment. I was surprised to see him without Hannah, he looked sad.

"Hey..." He said awkwardly, sitting across from me.

"Where's your girlfriend?" I asked.

"She's not my girlfriend" Neville looked down.

"Sorry things didn't work out, especially since you loved her" I mumbled. His eyes widened.

"Y-You  know about that?" He said looking nervous. So it was true.

"Yeah, hard not to believe that when you're snogging her every 5 seconds" I started to sound jealous again.

I need to leave now. I stood up before I got too emotional about the whole ordeal. God I'm pathetic.

"Wait Y/n I don't love her she used a love potion on me called heartbreak tears" Neville said. This is a prank, of course. Let's see if we can break the freak anymore than we already have.

"Nice try, there is no such thing as love potions. Heartbreak tears, really that's almost too poetic. 20 points for creativity, good bye Neville." I said leaving quickly and getting off the train skating to my parents house.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○TW○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

I walked into the house and my parents were in the family room with the neighbors. They looked up at me, their smiles dropped and their facial expressions changed to complete rage.

"Room now" My mother pointed to the basement. I did as I was told and went straight down, preparing for the beating I was about to receive. I heard the door close as the neighbors left. After a few minutes they both came down.

"YOU DISGUSTING LITTLE FREAK" My father bellowed grabbing me by the throat and holding me up, he threw me and I hit the ground hard. He broke a lot of my bones and soon the pain was too much causing me to fall unconscious. As days turned into weeks I was beaten back into that weak scared little girl once again.

"YOU ARE NEVER LEAVING THIS HOUSE AGAIN." My father yelled kicking me in the stomach, I cough up blood.

"You're weak no one will ever want you" My mother said and held up a mirror for me to look at myself. I looked horrible blood and bruises across my face. Many new scars joined the one under my left eye.

"You're not wrong about that" I let out a breath using humor, a bad habit of mine. She growled.

"You're a freak" She said. They new about my cuts and often laughed at them, joking about me being depressed.

They left for the night. I laid on the floor in my own blood once again thinking about my options, stay in this hell, go back to Hogwarts and continue to hate myself with more things for my tormentors to use against me or be free from it all. I can't do that to Fred and George, not after everything they have done for me. I probably won't even be able to go to school this year though. I'm so sorry.
