Ok this just literally came to me when I was listening to songs on my Ipod trying to get to sleep and I stayed up all night planning and writing so I'll try and update this regularly but I'm starting school again Thursday and so I can't promise a thing. I realise my other fics are feeling very neglected but I will make it up when the idea juices flow on them again. PROMISE!

In this story Snape is still potions master because I need the use of a new teacher but don't worry things will fall into place, he will be DADA teacher and Sluggy will appear, just a little later.

Disclaimer- Do I look like JK Rowling to you? No.. thought not.

NO TOUCHY MY PLOT!

Or Ari...

She doesn't like to be touched without permission. If you need her, ask :).

Temptation Is A Fine Art

Chapter 1

Never Back Down To A Challenge

Arianna Black swiftly made her way down the staircase of the Gryffindor girls dormitory. 'I can't believe I'm late again, blasted internal clock.' She thought to herself, wincing slightly as her heavy satchel thumped against her leg upon impact with the bottom step.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the great castle that is Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry Draco Malfoy was enjoying his breakfast while recounting the latest confrontation with Harry Potter that he had come out on top.

"Oh Drakykins you are soo brave." Squealed the nazely voice of Pansy Parkinson.

Internally Draco sighed. If she wasn't THE most annoying girl in the world he didn't know who was. 'I swear even Black is better than her.' He mused.

At that precise moment in time Arianna Black herself skidded into the great hall still pulling her shiny coal black hair into a high, long ponytail as she slid into a seat next to golden boy himself Potter.

"Not having the best day Ari?" Asked her god brother as Arianna plopped herself in between him and Ron.

"I overslept again!" The girl sighed before scurrying to grab the last piece of toast near her, "Blasted internal clock."

"I did wake you as I was leaving." A bushy haired Hermione commented not looking up from the daily prophet she was scanning for any scandel involving Voldemort or Harry while eating her cereal.

"Well, yeah at six-bloody-thirty in the morning 'Mione, I mean come on who gets up at that time?" Asked the rather petite sixth year.

"Well I do…" Began Hermione before she was rudely interrupted by Ron.

"The one and only, and can't you not read for a second?" Asked the red head.

"Thank you Ron." Muttered Ari as she bit in to her toast savoring the flavor. 'Ahh strawberry jam.' She thought grinning.

"Well Ronald maybe if you read more you'd not need your homework checking, that's the first thing off of my reading list." Replied Hermione with a flicker of venom as she roughly stuffed the paper into her bag, got up and stalked from the hall.

Grinning lazily to himself Draco Malfoy observed that mudblood Granger stomp out of the hall.

"If she'd lighten up maybe she'd become prettier. Although there's no cure for bad blood, and have you seen the stat of her hair…" Pansy went on talking about a mile a minuet.

"Parkinson will you please SHUT UP!" Draco said turning to her with annoyance flaring in his gray eyes. Pansy nodded meekly before going back to her breakfast.

"Thanks mate, won't listen to anyone else." Said Blaise Zanbini, a good friend of Draco's, before turning back to the boys conversation on quiditch.

Draco focused his eyes back on the remaining Gryffindors just in time to see them rise and follow their Ravenclaw worthy friend out.

"I don't see why I have to apologize." Mumbled Ron as his two dark-haired friends dragged him unceremoniously from his seat.

"Because it's the right thing to do." Harry replied.

"And who knows," Continued Ari "Maybe she'll find it amazingly chivalrous and you'll get laid." The seriousness on her face caused both the boys to widen their eyes.

"Bit far fetched don't you think Az?" Asked Ron.

"Maybe but so is magic if you're a muggle."

Neither boy could argue with that remark as they made their way toward the dungeons, or as Ari referred to them, the grease tunnels.

"Do you think the bat cave's this cold?" Draco heard Black ask as he turned the last corner towards Snape's classroom.

"For the last time Ari Batman does not exist!" Huffed an annoyed Hermione who was still pointedly ignoring Ron.

"Sshhhh, don't let Robin here you say that." The tiny girl replied looking round as if the fictional sidekick was going to jump out and attack her any minuet."He'll steal your cookies."

"If this rivetingly interesting exchange is over," Came the drawling voice of the potions professor, "I'd like to begin my class."

"I just have one more comment." Black replied and Draco raised his eyebrow. 'What else can she have to say on the subject?' He wondered.

"Yes Black?" Asked Snape in a bored tone.

"Superman is cooler than Batman because he doesn't need a sidekick or a car." She said before screaming, "I'M SORRY ROBIN DON'T KILL THE COOKIES THEY'RE INNOCENT!" and covering her hands with her face.

"Black." Said the potions master in a clipped tone as all the students chuckled to themselves. 'Wonder if she had coffee this morning, or too much sugar' Thought Draco. He observed the Griffindor students, they were shaking there heads. 'Or maybe this happens a lot...' His thoughts trailed off as she answered.

"Yes professor?" She asked looking up with an innocent expression her marauder father would have been proud of.

"Detention."

"Right." She said letting her face drop before walking into the potions lab as if he had said nothing.

Leaving the potions classroom Ari sighed, another zero. Why'd she have to sit next to Neville and the cauldron of doom.

"I'm so sorry Ari, really." Neville apologized for the hundredth time.

"Yes and for the hundredth time Nev don't sweat it." Ari replied cheerfully although truthfully she was exasperated.

'What's the hold up?' She thought as she came to a circle watching a scene unfold. She pushed herself to the front because she was unusually small like her mother before her and so unable to see.

When she finally pushed through finally she saw a devastated Pansy Parkinson screaming at a fed-up looking Malfoy, "WHY WON'T YOU SLEEP WITH ME TONIGHT! AM I NO GOOD?"

"Because I don't want to." Answered a now very pissed looking Draco.

"Don't worry Parkinson I doubt he's that good, probably shit actually, you should focus on someone more worth you while and more level in brain age maybe goonie Goyle?" Suggested Ari.

Malfoy spun around, "I'll have you know I'm better than you'll ever be Black." He spat.

"I know a few people willing to disagree." She replied stepping up to him.

"Well care to put your money where your mouth is?" He asked.

"I'm not shagging a girl for proof Malfoy."

"I never said that."

"But it was implied, I'll show you how good I am." she said before grasping the front of his six foot one frame and pulling her him down to meet her four foot eleven self, tilting her head up and snogging him. Every student around, including ones coming to the next potions lesson gasped. They were known to hate each other, if this wasn't Griffindor bravery...

Her lips crashed to his, their mouths opened and tongues began to dance. Neither one could deny the fireworks going off in their heads. It wasn't talent or experience it was pure chemistry. In fact if it wasn't for the crowd they would of probably raped each other right there being their flirty selves.

'This is MALFOY!' Ari screamed in her head before pushing him off. His mouth was agape.

"Close your mouth love," Ari said pushing his jaw shut, "you might catch some flies."

He scowled at his arch enemy second only to Potter.

"Ok," He began, "Your good, but so am I," Ari went to protest, "don't deny it your oozing I've just had a good snog, all flustered and the like, so since we're both rather partial to each others ability's I'll make you a challenge."

"I'm listening." Ari said crossing her tiny arms over her small frame.

"I bet I can resist you longer than you can me. First one to cave has to streak at the next quiditch match after they cave. A cave counts as a kiss on the lips, a snog if you will, not a peck."

Ari's eyes narrowed, the atmosphere was intense as the crowd waited on baited breath to see if the legendary dare-devil would back down.

"Your ON!" Accepted Ari, "Rule one of Ari's dare-devil side Malfoy, NEVER back down from a challenge."

The one thing the students watching knew as the vicious eye-contact broke and both parties strode to their next lesson,

This was going to be interesting.

Next time:

"What do you mean I can lick maple syrup off you if I cave? I'm allergic to maple syrup."

And

"Tell your pants it's rude to point."

"My pants are not point---- Oh. Sorry"

"No worries, lets just hope it has the same effect on the INTENDED target."

"Yes, You know if your Dad were alive he would kill me."

"Well if you're after the full experience I can tell Harry...."

"NO!"

So that's it so far folks. Hope you like this one. :).

Much Love,

....
