Chapter 1: Late Night Double Feature Picture Show

"So we all know how Dumbledore is always on about this whole house unity thing, well the heads and the seventh year prefects have decided that we wanted to try something. We've already spoken with the headmaster and the house heads about this and got permission…" Hermione Granger started.

"That's all well and good Granger, but get to the part they all care about." Draco Malfoy sneered.

"I'm getting to it Malfoy, or do you want to tell them all about it?" She fixed him with a cold glare.

"No, I just want you to get on with it, we don't have all night ya' know. "

"Okay, shut up guys, and tell everyone your idea." Harry interrupted them.

The entire seventh year class was sitting in the Room of Requirement listening to the head boy and girl argue. They were supposed to be hearing about the movie night that was planned for seventh years.

Since Harry Potter defeated the Dark Lord at the end of his sixth year there had been many changes to the wizarding world. Electricity had been introduced in the magical community not long after the final battle. Now Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was decked out in electric lights. Especially in the dungeons. Each house had a computer lab, and in the common room they each had a big screen television, with a DVD player to watch movies. They even introduced wizarding cable, which had a lot of magic in the shows.

"Okay fine. Our idea was an interactive movie night. Who has heard of the muggle movie Rocky Horror Picture Show?" Hermione asked everyone. She was met with a few excited nods but mostly blank stares. She decided to explain. "I have obtained copies for each house, and I would like for you to watch it sometime this weekend. Now as for the "interactive movie night" some of you will know what I mean if you've seen the movie" More excited nods. "There are parts of this film that are perfect for audience participation, I would like to get people to act out certain parts…" she began, but was interrupted yet again.

"Do you have anyone in mind for Rocky?" Draco asked.

"Um…no Malfoy, not yet. Right now I only have someone who I believe is perfect for Dr. Frank-N-Furter, why?" She responded, noticing the confused looks from the students who had no idea what they were talking about and the dreamy expressions from the girls who wanted to see Draco in gold underwear and boots.

"Well you do now; I'd be the perfect Rocky." Draco smirked arrogantly. Harry, hearing this rolled his eyes.

"Even when you find out that I'm the one who's "perfect for Frank-N-Furter"?" Harry asked.

"Makes me even more excited, now I get to show you up with my acting ability, it's not everyday that one can best the "Boy Who Lived" at anything, ya know." Draco's smirk turned to an evil grin when he saw the murderous glint in Harry's eye from the use of the obnoxious nickname that everyone knew he despised. Harry hated the fact he was famous but it didn't stop Draco bringing it up every chance he got.

"Boys! Stop it." Hermione yelled at them. Once she had their attention she turned to the rest of the group. "I want you all to watch the DVD that I will give to a prefect from each house. Talk it over and let a prefect know if you are interested as a house to participate in this activity. Prefects, let me know that the general consensus of your seventh year house members. If the majority is interested we will start choosing parts. And remember, apparently Frank and Rocky are already chosen." She said glancing at the boys who had gone back to glaring at each other.

A short time later, after the meeting was over, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were found sitting in the Gryffindor common room waiting for the rest of their house's seventh years to come down so they could watch the movie.

"That bloody git is just going to ruin this whole thing. I mean, come on, he only wants to be Rocky so he can beat Harry at acting 'cause he has yet to beat him at anything…save potions, but that's only 'cause Snape's as big a git as Malfoy." Ron fumed.

"Or because he is just better than I am at potions…" Harry muttered just quiet enough for Ron not to hear.

"Honestly Ron! Get on with it already, he's not done anything to us since his family and most of Voldemort's inner circle defected to the light side before the final battle. All he's done lately has been that little show in the meeting today. He's been growing up, and hasn't been petty or rude towards us yet this year, let it go. Get over your hatred, Harry has already, no one says you have to like the boy, but don't go starting trouble Ron. If you can't get over it and still hate him, then just ignore him, but LET. IT. GO." Hermione reprimanded him ignoring the grimace on Ron's face when she said the Dark Lord's name.

Harry had been oddly quiet during this exchange. He was playing parts of the movie in his head. Specifically the parts with Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Rocky. Only, in his mind, Tim Curry and Peter Hindwood were replaced with himself and one grey eyed Slytherin God who Harry found him self more and more attracted to each day. When he got to the scene, in his head, during "I can make you a man" where Frank "goes for the gold" he couldn't suppress the shudder of anticipation at being able to touch the man of his dreams, even it it's only to act out a part of a movie. Hermione noticed his shudder and grinned.

"Are you cold Harry?" She fixed him with a knowing smirk. Hermione was the one Harry told everything to, as he wasn't as close to Ron anymore. Ron on numerous occasions proved that he only was his friend because of the fame, Harry and Hermione both knew, but they also wanted to be good people and didn't bring it up. Hermione had been the one Harry had told first when he came out as being gay. She was the one there for him when Ron decided he was disgusting and wouldn't speak to him for half of sixth year. She was also the only one who currently knew that the one person who could make his heart skip a beat, the one person who could make him short of breath with a smirk was none other than Draco Malfoy.

"Huh?... What?... Oh!... Uh, yeah a little bit, but I'm alright." He replied with a sheepish grin.

A little while later the rest of the seventh years were down in the common room watching Rocky Horror Picture Show. When it got to "I can make you a man" Harry couldn't help the blush that rose to his cheeks. Hermione giggled at him and threw an arm around his shoulders. After the movie they were all talking about whether or not they were interested.

"Can I be Riff-Raff?!" Seamus shouted over everyone. "I can grow my hair out and I can even ask Filch what it is he uses on his hair because did you notice that his and Riff's hair looked alike?! And besides, who wouldn't jump at the chance to threaten Malfoy with candles. I mean, come on, snakes are supposed to be scared of fire right?"

Harry rolled his eyes at the comment, secretly cheering for Seamus as Riff-Raff. He would give anything right now to find a whip and give him a few lashes as hard as he could. He didn't like the way he was so violent when talking about Draco.

By midnight Friday night, Hermione had gotten word from the other houses (they were all interested), set up another meeting in the Room of Requirement for after breakfast Saturday morning, and sent word to the others. After everyone else went to bed, she and Harry were sitting on a couch in front of the fire cuddled up, talking like they did a lot of nights. They felt that this was the only real time that they were free to be themselves. Ron was still really upset with Hermione, and on the verge of causing another fight between the three of them, because she had broken up with him shortly after the final battle. She didn't tell him the real reason why she was breaking up with him and he felt that she had no reason. Harry knew why she did it though, she was in love with another, and unrequited love hurts most when you're around the person all the time. So her getting farther apart from Ron helped a small bit, but not much. She couldn't help it that she was in love with Ginny. But Ginny had made it well known on a few occasions that she thought lesbians were disgusting, though many people though that she only accepted gay men because she didn't want to lose Harry. She still thought she could get him eventually. So, for Hermione to be able to be around the woman she loved, she had to act straight. It hurt her to keep her true self hidden, and she often found herself envying Harry for being so open, but she didn't want to lose Ginny's friendship.

"You know that Pansy's going to want to be Janet, right?" Harry muttered, sounding kind of low.

"What do you mean?"

"Janet sleeps with Rocky; she'll want to be Janet just so she can be that close to Draco."

"But doesn't Janet sleep with Frank too?"

"Yes, but do you really think Pansy with pass up the chance to be that close to Draco just because she has to be that close to me too? She'll complain, oh how she'll complain, but in the end she'll demand to be Janet."

"I'm sorry Harry. I know how hard it is for you to see her hanging all over Draco and not being able to do anything about it.

"Yeah, it's about as hard as it is for you to watch Ginny and Dean snogging all the time."

"We're just unlucky in love aren't we Harry?"

"Yes we are, but you know what? It doesn't matter, because I love you Hermione and that will get us through anything." Harry quipped making himself sound like a sappy muggle romance novel. Hermione slapped him gently on the back of the head and laid her head on his shoulder.

"I love you too Harry, you're my best friend, and I don't know what I'd do with out you." She whispered before she fell asleep.
