K: yawns Well, it's 1 A.M. or so, and I'm still up… I just finished drawing a bunch of random pics with my new calligraphy set, and the ink got everywhere, so I decided to stop and write instead… Besides, I couldn't think of anything else to draw… ; (I even resorted to drawing the Great Wall, Mulan-style… --; Yeah…. That's how out of ideas I am.)

Anyhoo, I'm bored again, so I decided to write a quick DM/HP one-shot songfic, in honor of the creator of "Veela Sin", one of the best damn HP slash fics out there. Well, here we go!

Harder to Breathe

insert 1st stanza

Damn Malfoy… He's such an ass, sometimes! The way he acts like everyone else is below him- it's enough to make my blood boil! God, I swear- I'm gonna end up punching his lights out, one of these days…

Better yet, why risk hurting myself when I can simply curse him? Mione's taught me a few good ones over the past few years…. That veela prick better watch his back, if he know what's good for him….

insert 2nd stanza

Stuck-up prat… Just because his family is a bit richer than most doesn't mean he has the right to treat people the way he does. I usually try to ignore him when he tries to get under my skin, but he pisses me off so goddamn much! Back in first year, I actually took to heart what he said, too naive to know any better… But now, now things are different…

I'm not exactly sure when it happened, but for a while now, he's started coming after me. Not to kill me or to drag me back to Voldie, but because he wants me for his own. He's slept around with nearly all the girls, and at least half the guys, and now he wants me. I'm the ultimate prize to him- 'Pretty, perfect Potter' following him around like an overeager puppy.

Hn- over my dead body… No way I'd ever submit myself to that bloody git. He can take his offer and shove it up his ass, for all I care.

insert 3rd stanza

But then, it's not in your nature to give up so easily, is it? I guess there's only one thing to do then… If nobody else will teach you a lesson, I suppose I'll just have to…

Alright then, Malfoy… I'll play along with your little game. You can have me for tonight, and we'll see who's left broken in the end….

insert 4th stanza

Morning. I told you I'd win, didn't I? But did you listen? No…

You were surprised, weren't you? I bet you never thought I'd turn your own plan against you… I guess 'perfect Potter' isn't as innocent as everyone thinks, huh? There's a lot that no one knows about me…

And just when you thought you'd figured me out…

I rise from the bed, pulling on my clothes as you lie asleep, exhausted from the night's events. You shiver a bit as I pass you, and I can't help but smirk. What will things be like, now that you know who's superior between us?

Banishing the thought from my mind, I adjust my robes one last time before heading toward the door. As my hand reached the handle, I turned and looked back over my shoulder.

"Checkmate, Draco."

insert 5th stanza

Well, I must say, it seems you've learned your lesson, Malfoy… You're more timid whenever I'm around, and as far as I know, you haven't been with anyone since….

Tell me- how does it feel? What's it like knowing you can't beat me the same way you did the others? Are you angry? Sad? Do you hold a grudge against me?

You approach me once we're alone, leaning into me and silently pleading for me to slam you against the wall and take you again. You're addicted, are you? Well, I suppose I can help you with that…

insert 6th and 7th stanzas

You hate it, don't you? You hate the fact I have this power over you, and there's no spell or countercurse to stop it… Still, you come back, again and again…

I wonder if everyone else considers us an item, now? God knows I've screwed your brains out enough times for that term to apply… I don't, though. We're nothing but rivals, and I just happened to win, that's all…

insert 8th stanza

You're sobbing into my chest now, frustrated with how your emotions get the best of you. Remember, you're the one who started this, Malfoy… It's your own fault things turned out this way…

You're the one who wanted to play, and now it's time to pay the piper…

"Checkmate."

K: Oo; Well, THAT was odd…. ; The things I write when I'm half asleep… sighs and rolls her eyes

Anyhoo, I hope you like it anyway… I know they're OOC, but I like that song and I've been wanting to work with it for a while now, and this seemed like a good enough time to… Besides, no one's really tried this type of relationship between them, so why the hell not? I love trying new, uncharted plot-twists and loopholes…

yawns again Guess I'd better go before I fall asleep at the computer again… Ja ne!
