Discoveries and Card Games

After making sure that Neville, Dean, and Ron were asleep Harry and Seamus snuck downstairs to the common room. Before leaving, Harry draped his invisibility cloak over the two of them, just on the off chance that they ran into someone on the way to their final destination. Making sure they had everything in order, they quietly left the common room and headed straight towards the Room of Requirement.

Damn that Malfoy! Hermione thought to herself as she angrily stalked around the castle looking for the Head Boy. He does this every Thursday night. Always at 10 and always the same way. One minute he's next to me while I'm yelling at him and the next thing I know, its 9:55 and I'm talking to my self. I'm going to get to the bottom of this and when I do he'll have hell to pay. Hermione was so upset she didn't even notice the other person in the hall until they collided with each other.

"Miss Granger, do watch where you're going. Or do you take pleasure in running people down when in the hallways" Snape said in his usual cold voice.

"Oh sorry Professor I was just upset is all. It's Thursday night and Draco has left me to do our duties all by myself again" Hermione said hotly still made at Malfoy. "Do you think you could talk to him, seeing as how you are his Head of House and all?" Hermione asked tentatively.

"If it will get you not to run people down, then I shall talk to him about it when I see him" Snape answered coolly.

"Oh um…thank you Professor, that would be a great help" Hermione answered surprised at her professor's willingness to help.

"Now if you'll excuse me I have more important things to attend to than dealing with your problems." And with that Snape strode past the Hermione without so much as a backwards glance. As Hermione watched Snape walk away, she couldn't help but feel confused. Something about what he had said bothered her. He said he would talk to Draco when he saw him, as if he was going to see him tonight. As her inquisitive mind set to work trying to figure out what was going on, she decided to follow Snape hoping that he would lead her to Draco so she could give him the verbal beating he so justly deserved. And with that thought in mind, she set off after her professor.

As Harry and Seamus entered the Room of Requirement, they found Draco and Blaise sitting on the couch facing the fireplace talking to each other.

"So finally decided to grace us with your presence?" Draco drawled as the two boys walked up to them.

"Hey it's not as if we're late. You're just early and besides everyone isn't here yet so we still have time to spare." And with that Harry leaned down and lightly kissed Draco on the lips then pulled away so that their lips were an inch apart. Draco was not one for being teased but rather doing the teasing. He grabbed Harry by his robes and started attacking him with light kisses all down his neck, as he pulled Harry down so that he was sitting on his lap. Just as their kissing started to heat up, the cold voice of Lucius Malfoy came from out of the fireplace, "Must you two always maul each other with kisses whenever I'm in the room. And Mr. Zabini please do give Mr. Finnegan back his shirt, for I'm sure he'll want it later."

Just then, Snape and Lupin walked in and everyone took their usual seats around the card table while Lupin began to deal the cards. As the first game of the night got underway, Snape turned to Harry and dryly stated, "Potter, please do make sure you keep Ms. Granger from running people down in the hallways." At this, Draco laughed which caused Snape to turn to him and comment on how Draco needed to find a better way to get out of his Head Boy duties since it was his fault that Ms. Granger can't walk down the hallway without running into someone. Now it was Harry's turn to laugh but just when he did Draco hit him upside the head.

"Hey! What was that for?" Harry asked rubbing the back of his head.

"That, dear Harry, was for laughing at me" Draco said plainly.

"But you laughed at me first," Harry stated, getting upset and confused at the same time.

"Yes, but I had a reason to laugh. I can find a better way out of my duties, but you will never be able to stop Granger from running into people" and with that Draco kissed Harry on the lips before be could reply. He then proceeded to turn his attention to the game at hand.

Hermione couldn't believe what she had just seen, Snape and Lupin walking into the Room of Requirement TOGETHER! The world must be turned upside down if Lupin and Snape are walking into a private room together in the middle of Hogwarts, Hermione thought to herself, as she quietly moved closer to the room to try to get to the bottom of this.

"Well you know Severus, you do take up a lot of space when walking down the hallways," Lupin said sweetly, "I mean what I meant to say was your presence takes up a lot of space because you are such a great man." Did Lupin just call Professor Snape great? Did he just call him Severus? Before Hermione could process this, a third voice entered into the conversation.

"Nice save Lupin. If you had said something like that to me if we were dating a Hospital visit would have been in your near future" the unknown voice said. Hermione couldn't figure out to whom that voice belonged to, but she knew she had heard it before.

"Oh come on Lucius, you know you would have done something far more pleasurable than hurt him. I mean, Sirius and I did talk a lot and he told me some very interesting things about you and your soft side," Harry's voice came loud and clear from the room and Hermione nearly screamed when she realized the mysterious voice was that of Lucius Malfoy. Now this is way too strange. Snape, Lupin, Harry, and Lucius Malfoy all in a private room with each other and they're not hexing each other into oblivion. In fact, they seem to be getting along. What could they be doing? Hermione thought to herself, as she leaned in closer so that she could hear better and uncover the truth once and for all. The comments she heard next nearly killed her.
