Flashback

 

“Oh my gosh, you won’t believe what Neville was wearing!†Lavender gushed.

 

Parvati abandoned Lavender’s babbling for a moment, and turned her head slightly toward the table. Noticing the fruit bowl, she glanced for a moment at the apple on top.

 

A red headed figure crept up behind Parvati, and muttered, “Blandus!†Then, the figure quickly hurried away.

 

Suddenly, Parvati had a faraway look on her face. That apple…it wasn’t just a normal apple. Deep juicy red; it looked absolutely luscious.

 

“I think I’ll call you Harry,†Parvati whispered to the fruit. “Harry the Apple.â€

 

Parvati strolled into her dormitory after Transfiguration later that morning, anxious to see her apple again.

 

She stopped short at the sight of Lavender, who was reading a magazine in her bed, eating Harry the Apple! Parvati flinched at the sickening crunch of her friend’s teeth sinking into her soul mate.

 

“How could you?†Parvati screeched in anger. “He was my boyfriend! You don’t see me going around eating your boyfriends!â€

 

Lavender put down the fruit, and looked closely at her friend. She was sure of it: Parvati had called Lavender's breakfast her boyfriend.

 

“Parvati,†Lavender said firmly. “That,†she pointed to the fruit, “is an apple. It is not your boyfriend.â€

 

Parvati lunged out towards Lavender, ready to attack. She was just about to slap her when a shrill beep rang through the girls’ dormitory. It was 12:00 noon.

 

Parvati’s face twisted into a frown, and her hand stopped in midair, halfway between Lavender’s face and herself. She slowly let her arm fall to her side. “What--where am I?†she stuttered.

 

Lavender stepped back. “You were just about to slap me,†she said, quite calmly. “You went berserk because I was eating that apple over there,†she continued, looking over at the fruit.

 

“Hmm, I wonder why…†Parvati cocked her head, deep in thought.

 

“You mean, you seriously don’t remember anything that you did?†Lavender questioned, surprised.

 

“No, I don’t!†Parvati exclaimed. “Care to fill me in?â€

 

“Have you gotten anyone…angry lately?†Lavender asked, cocking her head.

 

“Ginny Weasley! She didn’t want me flirting with Harry Potter!†Parvati gasped in astonishment.

 

“Well, I think she put a spell on you or something, because you sort of acted like you were in love with a piece of fruit. For some reason, you stopped being weird at noon…the spell probably works like that.â€

 

“I can’t believe Ginny would do that to me!†Parvati cried, tears welling up in her eyes. “The whole school must think I’m some sort of joke!â€

 

Lavender nodded sadly. “Did you learn your lesson, though?†she inquired.

 

“Yes…I think I need to learn how to brew a love potion!â€
