Holy fuck you guys are crazy... rank 27(when I was posting it)

As promised 2 chapters per day for at least 3 days...(My social life..*cries*😢)

-----------------------------------------------------

"He lost, So stop it already." Harry said taking out his wand.

Theodore prepared his wand too but Draco stopped him.

"No, no... Mr. Potter." Draco said, "He hasn't admitted defeat yet, has he?"

"I..." Ron wanted to give up, but he felt there was something in his throat that stopped him from speaking. He looked at Draco who was smiling coldly.

"Mr. Weasley, you have crossed the line too many times now... First, you insulted me, then you insulted my friends. After that I even warned you, not to make the same mistakes again but then you went ahead and insulted my father." Draco said coldly, "I don't like people insulting my family, I hope you understand Mr. Weasley. "

Draco was pouring mana into his wand to stop Weasley from speaking and moving his body other than his head.

He could torture and even kill him right now, but there was no urge like the previous time.

'Sigh! There is no voice again.' Draco thought to himself.

Ron nodded, sweating,

"Good, since you know that, I will forget about what happened in the past but make sure you keep your dirty mouth shut, okay?"

Ron nodded,

"Now apologize to me and we can all end this." Draco said standing up, removing his wand from his neck and undoing the curse.

Ron stood up, he looked at Draco and whispered, "I am sorry."

Right now he didn't care about winning nor did he felt ashamed apologizing. All he wanted to do now was, get out of here.

"Sorry I can't hear you and it's not me you should be apologizing to." Draco said waving Ron's wand.

Ron clenched his fist and said, "I am sorry, I insulted your father and your friends."

"Now we are all good." Draco smiled and patted Ron's shoulders "I will be honest with you, I don't like you and neither I am planning to be friends with you."

He went closer to Ron's ear and whispered, "Next time, I will make sure that there will be no next time, you understand me right?"

Ron felt chills hearing Draco's voice. Draco smiled and gave Ron his wand back.

Hermione was amazed by the one-sided duel, 'Looks like the rumors aren't false, after all.'

Then when the battle ended and Draco was forcing Ron to apologize to him, she wanted to go and stop them but Pansy stopped her,

"Don't do it." Pansy said, "The Weasley, went too far this time when he insulted his family, Draco at least deserves an apology."

Hermione thought about the things Ron had said in the Train and sighed not doing anything.

Other than Ron's heavy breathing the room was completely silent.

Then a noise in the next room made then everyone jump.

"Sniff around, my sweet, they might be lurking in a corner."

It was Filch speaking to Mrs. Norris, Draco clicked his tongue in annoyance, 'I will surely kill that cat some day.'

Everyone was terrified not knowing what to do. Draco signaled everyone to follow him as quickly as possible; they scurried silently toward the door, away from Filch's voice. Neville's robes had barely whipped around the corner when they heard Filch enter the trophy room.

"They're in here somewhere," they heard him mutter, "probably hiding."

"This way!" Draco whispered to the others and, petrified, they began to creep down a long gallery full of suits of armor. They could hear Filch getting nearer. Neville suddenly let out a frightened squeak and broke into a run -he tripped, grabbed Ron around the waist, and the pair of them toppled right into a suit of armor.

The clanging and crashing were enough to wake the whole castle.

"Idiots, Run!" Draco yelled, pulling Hermione in one hand and Pansy on the other, the 7 of them sprinted down the gallery, not looking back to see whether Filch was following -- they swung around the doorpost and galloped down one corridor then another, with Draco in the lead.

"Do you have any idea where we are going?" Theodore asked running beside him,

"Nope." Draco sheepishly smiled.

"Are you serious?" Hermione said looking tired.

"Yeah! but no worries we only need to hide, till Filch goes away, then we can find our way back to the dormitory." Draco said.

They ripped through a tapestry and found themselves in a hidden passageway, hurtled along it and came out near their Charms classroom, which they knew was miles from the trophy room.

"I think we've lost him," Harry panted, leaning against the cold wall and wiping his forehead. Neville was bent double, wheezing and spluttering.

Theodore and Pansy were catching their breath as well.

Draco was the only who wasn't tired from the group since he was used to exercising.

"I -- told -you," Hermione gasped, clutching at the stitch in her chest, "I -- told -- you." She said looking at Harry and Ron.

"We've got to get back to Gryffindor tower," said Ron, "quickly as possible."

"What do we do now?" Hermione said looking at Draco. "Filch probably found out due to all the noises we made in the trophy room."

Draco looked at her and nodded,

"Let's go, separate ways." Theodore said, "We both have different destinations and with we going separate ways, the chances of him finding us are low."

"Good idea."

It wasn't going to be that simple. They hadn't gone more than a dozen paces when a doorknob rattled and something came shooting out of a classroom in front of them.

It was Peeves. He caught sight of them and gave a squeal of delight.

"Shut up, Peeves -- please -- you'll get us thrown out." Peeves cackled. "Wandering around at midnight, Ickle Firsties? Tut, tut, tut. Naughty, naughty, you'll get caughty."

"Not if you don't give us away, Peeves, please." Harry begged.

"Should tell Filch, I should," said Peeves in a saintly voice, but his eyes glittered wickedly. "It's for your own good, you know."

"Peeves, We came because the Bloody Baron asked us to." Draco said, "You don't want him to find out, do you?"

Peeves looked afraid for a second then went back to normal, "Then you Slytherins can go but..."

"Get out of the way," snapped Ron suddenly, taking a swipe at Peeves which was a big mistake.

"STUDENTS OUT OF BED!" Peeves bellowed, "STUDENTS OUT OF BED DOWN THE CHARMS CORRIDOR"

Ducking under Peeves, they ran Pansy and Hermione were very tired so Draco had to drag them, Suddenly out of nowhere Daphne came and pulled Draco into a room. Since everyone was following him, they went into the room and closed the door.

"You came." Draco said looking at Daphne who just nodded,

"I thought some things through." Daphne said,

Draco turned towards Ron, he was pissed since he ruined his good plan to settle Peeves down, just because he was afraid, that Peeves wasn't going to leave him. But before Draco could say anything they started hearing Peeves and Filch talking.

"Which way did they go, Peeves?" Filch was saying. "Quick, tell me."

"Say 'please."'

"Don't mess with me, Peeves, now where did they go?"

"Shan't say nothing if you don't say please," said Peeves in his annoying singsong voice.

"All right -please."

"NOTHING! Ha haaa! Told you I wouldn't say anything if you didn't say please! Ha ha! Haaaaaa!" And they heard the sound of Peeves whooshing away and Filch cursing in rage.

"Let's go." Draco said, "Take care Hermione, see you tomorrow."

Then Harry, Neville, Ron, and Hermione went their own way and Theodore, Draco, Pansy, and Daphne went theirs.

After running for five minutes they reached the Slytherin common room, they crashed into the sofa breathing heavily.

Draco turned towards Daphne, "Hey! How did you know, where we were?"

"Pansy told me that you will be at the Trophy room." Daphne said, "I was heading there but I took a wrong stair and it thankfully led me to where you guys were. I heard your voices and pulled you over."

"Good job! Daphne." Theodore commented trying to catch his breath.

"So who won?" Daphne asked

"Draco obviously." Pansy said, "You should have seen Weasley's face, I was sure he peed his pants a little."

"Dang it!" Daphne sighed. "I missed it."

"Don't worry, Just look at Theodore." Draco said, "His face is the same as Weasley, right now."

Theodore annoyed, rolled his eyes, "I hate you, why does everything I do with you end up with me getting a headache. And you are the only one not affected by it."

"I have asked you to exercise with me previously but you denied it."

"I will rather die than exercise." (Words of God.) Theodore said wheezing, "Maybe we should create a potion that makes people strong, good-looking, full of energy,.."

"Immortal, making him God." Draco added to the list sarcastically.

"Hey! I am serious you know." Theodore said,

"There is already a potion that makes you beautiful, you know."

"You mean that cursed, Beautification Potion?" Theodore asked clearly not impressed.

"What are you guys talking about?" Daphne and Pansy came over. When it comes to being beautiful the girls immediately perked their ears up and couldn't help but get excited.

"We are talking about the potion called, Beautification Potion."

"You mean the one sold at, Madam Primpernelle's Beautifying Potions?" Pansy asked.

"No that place doesn't really sell these potions, they sell the simpler version of it, making things like warts or moles go away." Theodore explained.

"So what does the Beautification potion, really do?" The girls wanted to know about the potion bad since Theodore said, that the one they sell at the shop is the lesser version of it.

Draco sighed seeing their enthusiasm and began to explain, "The beautification potion enhances the attractiveness of the drinker's physical appearance. The potion removes all physical imperfections i.e. warts, moles, scars, blemish, freckles, unwanted hair, etc. The drinker's teeth whiten and become perfect, muscle mass is enhanced and perfected, their voice becomes more alluring, melodic, and seductive, and their bodily scent becomes extremely pleasant and compelling. The potion grants the drinker a perfect body, with smooth, flawless skin, silky hair, golden-proportioned figure, and "well-endowments" (varies depending upon sex). The drinker ends up possessing a level of grace, sense of style, and social poise above that commonly found. This is the level of beauty of a storybook princess, or handsomeness of fairy-tale Prince Charming. The drinker radiates an aura of attractiveness, naturally inducing pleasure and desire in others while subtly lifting inhibitions. Others feel a pull towards the drinker, even if they can't justify it, and feel immediately bonded. The affected targets remain fully themselves, but they long for the user's favor and affection, and can't bring themselves to cause them harm except as a last resort, like an irreplaceable treasure too precious to be lost. The drinker also ends up with unnaturally high charisma, or charm, enabling them to gain the trust and loyalty of others and win them over, making it no longer a matter of popularity or skill, but a blessing."

Draco explained everything to them but the girl looked more excited.

"Hey! Draco, do you know how to make that potion." Pansy asked with excitement clearly written on her face.

"I think I can make it." Draco said causing the girls to face to light up but his next words made them frown, "But I am not going to do it."

"Why?" Daphne asked.

"The potions, more troublesome than you think." Theodore said,

"What's wrong with being beautiful and making someone gets attracted to you." Pansy said the last words looking at Draco.

"Everything." Theodore said, "Its the same as love-potion that makes the other person fall in love with someone against their will."

"But Draco said, the other person remains themselves, unlike the love-potions which make the other person crazy." Daphne commented.

"Here's the thing girls, imagine you get the potion and you drink it becoming very beautiful and attractive. You even get the person you like to love you as well." Theodore said,

"But that's a good thing, isn't it?" Pansy asked.

"No, not really." Theodore added, "That was only the benefit of the potion, but there is more to it. The potions makes people fall in love with you, so even other guys, other than your loved one will fall crazily in love with you, Some might kidnap you, some might lock you away so no one can take you away from them. And if you fall into the hand of someone crazy they might do something extreme." (Imagine a bunch of Yandere's falling in love with you.)

The girl's faces were grim now.

"You stay beautiful, but only till the effect of the potion remain since it's not permanent, after that you will turn to your old self. Do you think the person you been cheating on with the help of potion will appreciate that, No he won't, he will probably leave you as soon as he finds out at best but if worst comes he might even murder you? Its similar to the love potion but it doesn't affect the other person much but it affects the person drinking the potion himself or herself in your situation."

"Its fun for a while but you will soon lose yourself after when you realize no one cares about you deeply and truly, they only care about your looks." Draco said, "And besides, Imagine spending your life attracting hordes of pouring admirers who want to keep you all to themselves as a trophy and might even go nuts over it."

Pansy and Daphne gulped and nervously laughed.

"Girls, I think you are beautiful the way you are right now." Draco said smiling, "Look at Theodore, if he doesn't want to use a potion that makes him look good then you know the potion's harmful."

Daphne and Pansy smiled and nodded,

"Hey, what did.."

Draco interrupted Theodore as he stretched and said, "Let's go to sleep, it's already too late."

----------------------------------------------

In HP universe these kinds of potion and love potion are sold freely, its kind of weird if you imagine it. So since there isn't any restriction against these potions in the book, I will put my own. It's kind of a loophole which I shall eradicate in my book.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Sonet Sonet

Since most people wanted to see Draco make a similar potion, I researched it a little bit and it turns out the potion actually exists but there are a lot of disadvantages to it. So making a potion doesn't seem plausible, due to this I might have to think of something else.
