Blaise Zabini, Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott were in a corner of the Slytherin common room, planning their next bet.
"So, we agree on this, I take Slytherin's, Nott takes Hufflepuff's and Zabini takes the Ravenclaw's"
The three of them agreed on ousted Gryffindor. The house didn't take place in the bet.
"I remind you the rules, we have to kiss each girl from our year, in named houses. No cheat, this list is charmed to striped the name of the girl once kissed. We have until the yule ball, set for the tri-wizard tournament. Anyone want to add something?"
Zabini spoke, "Yes, I just want to add, I will kiss Granger if you kiss Milicent in front of us"
"Shut up, Zabini"scowled the blond haired teen, while the two others bust into laughing.
Everyone had his technique. Malfoy had nothing to do, the girls just kissed him as soon as they knew about the bet, Nott was running after the girls, gave them a peck on the lips, by surprise, and run away as fast as possible.
Zabini was more involved in the game. Ravenclaws were smart, this girls were a challenge, he tried to seduce every of the girls, and until now he succeed.
It was the last day, and he only missed one girl, the Patil twin. The last but not the least, it was well-known that the girl was beautiful.
While walking in the castle, he noticed her, sitting on a staircase, on her own. It was his luck. She seemed bored, playing with the hem of her sari.
"What a rude date you have, letting you alone in this castle, instead of dancing with you." he said, taking a seat beside her.
"Indeed" she just replied, not even looking at him. He sat closer to her, and whispered in her ear,
"Fortunately for you, I'm here. Want to go there and dance?"
"Why not?"
He was a Slytherin, but she was bored, and needed a little entertaining.
They made their way to the great hall. They spent time together, dancing, drinking, talking, just enjoying each other company until Dumbledore announced the last song.
It was the last dance, the last chance to kiss her. He was holding her, close to him and somehow, he liked being with her. At the end of the slow he, gently, kissed her, she instantly responded to him. Both of them felt good at this time.
When they separated, he proposed to escort her to the Ravenclaw common room.
She laughed at him, he raised an eyebrow at her.
"People are often mistaken, I'm Parvati, not Padma. I'm in Gryffindor." She didn't seem outraged by his mistake. He didn't asked her name, so he couldn't know.
Not adding a word, he accompanied her to her common room. He was cool outside, but inside it was something else.
First, he lost his bet, now he had to pay Malfoy and Nott all the drinks in Hogsmead until the end of the school year.
Second, he kissed a Gryffindor, like ennemies of Slytherins, Gryffindor! And the worst, he enjoyed it! It seemed normal, usual, good to him. Oh, when his friends would knew what happened, he would be dead.
He let her go, inside of the red and gold common room, and made his way toward the dungeon, hoping she would understand his behaviour, tomorrow, when he would not mind her.
Only because she was a lion, and he was a snake.
If she was a Ravenclaw ...
