Intro: Yet again, I'm writing HP fics. *blush* This one was inspired by
Revolutionary Girl Utena (TOUGA PARTY!!!) and sleep deprivation. Do excuse
me! Warnings: Slash (don't even try to say that's not why you're here!) and
the blatantly obvious pairing of Draco and Harry, and things might also
just get more.... interesting. No lemons, I swear! *blush* (Let us make
sacrifices to the lemon gods.) Now then, to the story:
It all began because Harry didn't feel they were doing enough to stop You- Know-Who...He felt they needed to be more prepare for what they would face in the future, hence, he decided to create a dueling club for Sixth and Seventh Year students. He discussed the idea with Dumbledore and Dumbledore readily agreed, and so began Hogwarts Dueling society. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and how was he supposed to know that Malfoy would join and it would escalade into...this?
Actually, he was quite shocked and embarrassed by the whole idea, and he definitely didn't think it would be fun. However, Malfoy and his followers, a few Hufflepuffs, an even fewer number of Ravenclaws, and even some of the more mischievous Gryffindors thought it would be a good idea, and so, Harry relented and the new rules were instated.
There were only three such rules, which Harry felt was horrid enough: 1. No one outside of the dueling club was to be told about anything happening in the club. 2. Duels were to involve no more than two people and two other members must be present to witness it. 3. Whoever lost, conceded, or refused a duel would become the victor's 'rose bride', until another duel was fought.
The last rule was the one that worried Harry the most. He most definitely didn't want to be the rose bride. The Rose Bride, Malfoy had explained, was to be considered property of the champion duelist at the time, and was required to do 'whatever' that champion asked them to do, until another duel occurred. This concept worried Harry greatly, but as a brave Gryffindor, he would never back down to a challenge proposed by Malfoy, and so, he accepted those rules.
The first duel was to occur tomorrow in the great hall, in front of anyone who wished to view it. That duel would be between Harry and Malfoy, and Harry definitely did not like the expectant smirk on Malfoy's face...
