Harry Potter was currently trying to get his best friend Ron Weasley to the potion's professor's office, since Ron just ate a whole box of chocolates induced with a heavy load of love potions that was meant for Harry. Ron was only following Harry because he thought that Harry was taking him to see Romilda Vane, who in the first place, gave Harry the chocolates. Harry was able to get Ron to the office door of Professor Slughorn without any incidents. As soon as the professor saw the look on Ron's face when he opened the door, he immediately asked," What's wrong with Wheezlebee?" although he still can't to seem get Ron's name right.
Harry leaned in to whisper to Slughorn so Ron wouldn't hear," Very powerful love potion."
"Very well then, you better bring him in, Harry," said the professor. Once they were inside, Slughorn started to make the potion," I bet that you could whip this up in no time Harry," Slughorn said to Harry.
"Well, I thought that it would be better if it came from someone with more practiced hands, Sir," replied Harry. Ron then came up and hugged the elderly man from the side, after taking a look at Ron, he turned back to Harry," Perhaps you're right," and Harry proceeded to take Ron back to the couch in the office.
After a while, Slughorn finished the potion, and after the dozens of time, Harry once again got Ron to sit back down on the couch," Here you go boy, bottoms up," said Slughorn as he handed Ron the glass.
"What's this," questioned Ron.
"Something I made for you," said the Professor, and Ron took a drink, still thinking that Slughorn was Romilda Vane. As soon as the affect of the potion took place, Ron came back to normal.
"What happened to me?" asked Ron.
"Love potion," explained Harry.
"I think that this calls for celebration don't you think?" asked Slughorn happily as he went to go get them all drinks.
"This might be a bit strong but this is something happy, so I guess it won't do any harm," Slughorn continued to say as he poured Firewhisky into three glasses. He turned around to Ron to say a toast, but before Slughorn could finish it, Harry had already taken a swig of the drink and then fell onto the ground.
Ron rushed over to his best friend's side, and realized that the drink had poison in it and did the first thing that he thought of. He got a bezoar and put it into his mouth, trying to make Harry swallow it. Ron saw with relief that Harry eventually started to breathe again, and was slowly starting to gain his consciousness back. As soon as he was conscious Harry said one thing to Ron," These girls, they're going to kill me," before he fell back down and was unconscious once again.
Later on, after the incident, Ron was with Lavender and Hermione in the hospital wing by Harry's side as he was lying on one of the beds. Ron was standing next to Lavender as she sat on the edge of the bed, while Hermione was sitting on the chair facing the bed as she held onto Harry's hand with a look of worry and concern on her face. Madame Pomfrey was currently looking over Harry to check if he was okay. All the heads turned around as soon as they heard someone walking in, and saw that it was Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore, Snape, and Slughorn.
"Quick thinking on your part Mr. Weasley on using the bezoar, it was very smart thinking on your part," commented Dumbledore as he looked at Harry.
"I agree that Weasley's actions were heroic, but the question is that why were they necessary?" asked McGonagall as she too looked at one of her Gryffindors.
"Right indeed," agreed Dumbledore, and they all turned around to look at Slughorn, who still had a looked of horror on his face about what had just happened. The Professors continued on discussing what had happened and how it could have. Suddenly, Ginny came rushing in," Where is he, where is my Harry? Has he been asking for me?" asked a very distressed Ginny. When Hermione and Lavender just ignored her and turned themselves a bit more faced the window, Ginny asked," What is she doing here?"
"I'd like to ask you the same question?!" Hermione said standing up, outraged that Ginny had the guts to say that to her.
"Well I happened to be his girlfriend!" Ginny almost yelled.
"Well I happened to be his…friend," said Hermione, realizing that she almost said something else, something that would reveal her feelings for Harry, not the boy-who-lived, but just Harry, her best friend.
"Don't make me laugh," Ginny said bitterly, "You haven't spoken to him in weeks."
"I suppose you want to go out with him now, since he's suddenly all interesting to you," said Ginny.
"He's been poisoned you daft dimbo," said Hermione retorted," And for the record, I have always found him interesting!"
Harry started to mumble out some words," Ha, see? He senses my presence," said Ginny as she started to lean forward onto the bed," Don't worry Harry, I'm here." They all leaned closer to hear what Harry was trying to say, "Her-my-knee," Harry mumbled. At first, Ginny didn't hear what he said, so she listened more closely and realized that Harry was saying "Hermione", Hermione realized this too, and sat down on the bed, right at Harry's side, and held onto his hand once again, and she didn't even notice when Ginny ran out the hospital wing.
"C'mon everyone, Mr. Potter is well tended to right now," said Dumbledore, and everyone started to exit out of the hospital wing. Before Lavender went out, she stood in front of Ron and said," About time, don't you think?" and Ron nodded his head in agreement, happy for his two best friends, that they were able to be together, and he too left the wing, but on his last glance he saw that Hermione was wearing a soft smile on her face, and Harry had a faint one on his.
