Game Over
Summary: AU "Your time has come, once and for all, you've met your match, you will fall. This little game we play is gonna break us down, coz only one of us can wear the crown. It's not as easy as you thought it'd be when it's down to you versus me."
A/N: Hello all! Tis me again! This time I'm going to try a slash fic, so if the idea of guy/guy (and possibly guy/guy/guy) creeps you out, then don't read this fic OK? Please R&R as always, so I know if I'm doing this right haha. Also please, no flames the pairings OK, cause they're just pointless. Any how, Here's my opening chapter! And also, in this story Cedric (who is not dead, this is AU and disregards the books) is only a year older than Draco and Harry, making him a seventh year as they are in their sixth. Also, there will be a bit of bad language and hint of more adult situations, even possibly a bit of lemon, but I will post warnings, so if any of this offends you then please don't read.
Prologue: Detention Surprise
Sixteen-year-old Harry Potter's emerald eyes widened behind his glasses as he listened to what his Head of House Professor McGonangall was telling him. The raven haired boy shook his head frantically, "Oh but Professor please!" he begged, "I'll do any other detention, just don't put me with Malfoy!" the 5'7" Gryffindor Quidditch player looked like he might have a fit any moment at the thought of spending extra time around his arch nemesis.
Harry was quite small by average standards, and lean but with Quidditch refined muscles. His face was also quite feminine in a way, it was softer and more expressive than most boys, to the delight of the majority of the female population of Hogwarts. Not that Harry noticed, for he had recently discovered he was gay, therefore he was actually more interested in what the male population would think. But no one knew yet, only Harry's best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger were aware of where Harry's preferences lay… At the minute they were set on the Hufflepuff Prefect and their Quidditch team's Seeker: Cedric Diggory.
Professor McGonagall's lip twitched, and her eyes glittered faintly, showing she was both amused and a little irritated, "Now Mr Potter, I do understand that you and Mr Malfoy don't get along-"
"There's an understatement," Harry muttered moodily.
"But rest assured you will not be alone."
Harry looked up in confusion, "How do you mean Professor?"
"Mr Diggory has kindly agreed to oversee you punishment instead of doing his Prefect duties tonight."
Harry could feel his face getting red and hastily muttered an agreement before running back to Gryffindor Tower, feeling both elated, and miserable.
"No." said the platinum blonde haired male lounging on a black leather sofa in the Slytherin Common Room. Draco Malfoy's icy silver eyes moved lazily to look at the sallow faced man standing opposite him with his hands folded over his chest.
Severus Snape's pale face worked a little, his cold black eyes narrowing, "You have no choice Draco." he said coolly, aware that the Malfoy Heir was likely to throw a tantrum when he had finished, "You are serving detention with Potter this evening after dinner and that is the end of it."
The sixteen-year-old Quidditch player was on his feet in a flash, drawing his athletic figure up to it's intimidating 6' height. His hands clenched into fists by his sides, and the sharp, porcelain pale, aristocratic features were twisted in instant rage, "What do you mean that is the end of it?!" he demanded, eyes flashing, "I am not serving detention!" he yelled at his godfather, "Especially not with Saint Potter, The-Boy-Who-Just-Won't-Die!"
Snape's eyes flashed as he turned, robes billowing around him as he stalked to the entrance of the Slytherin Common Room. When he reached the entrance he turned and said, "After dinner Draco, in the dungeons. And if you don't turn up I shall know about it, for you and Mr Potter will be supervised by Mr Diggory this evening." a triumphant smirk on his face Snape left the furious Slytherin Prince fuming in the centre of the room.
"Fuck!" Draco snarled, raking his hands through his hair longish hair.
After Dinner…
Harry glowered miserably as dinner ended. Ron noticed his foul mood and clapped him on the shoulder, "Come on mate, he won't be able to get away with anything. If Ced Diggory's there, you'll get fair treatment." he said, green eyes glimmering as he smiled soothingly. Harry grimaced, "Yeah, that doesn't mean that the git won't try." he turned and sent a venomous look in the direction of the green and silver clad table at the other side of the hall. He saw Malfoy looked pissed too, and the thought cheered him slightly,
Teach you to try anything like this again won't it ferret boy?
Hermione hugged Harry and said, "Don't worry Harry, lines for a couple of hours and the you can come back and see us." her coffee coloured eyes twinkled and she smiled bracingly, lightly curled mahogany brown hair bouncing as she moved her hair.
Harry nodded and returned the hug, brushing a stray strand from her face, "Yeah I suppose." he sighed, standing up and adjusting his crimson and gold tie, "Suppose I better get moving."
"Evening Harry." said a smooth baritone from behind them, causing Harry to swallow deeply -shooting Ron a murderous look as he smirked knowingly- and turned to address the speaker with a bright smile, "Hullo Cedric, sorry you have to play keeper this evening."
Cedric Diggory laughed, neat sandy brown hair falling over his warm chocolate coloured eyes, his lightly tanned features complimented his colouring. Cedric was 6'4", and towered over Harry, he too had Quidditch muscles and broad shoulders, as well as being lean and having slim hips.
"No worries, it'll be more interesting to spend time with you than it will to patrol." he smiled charmingly and Harry blushed.
"If you two are quite finished." drawled a new voice, "I have no intention of spending longer in your company than I have to."
Harry turned and glared up at the equal figured, yet smaller boy standing just behind Cedric, "Evening to you too you tosser." he said sweetly, making Draco's eyes narrow and Cedric laughed, skilfully turning it into a cough. He straightened up and addressed the sixth years, "Come on you two, the sooner we get there the sooner we get done." he offered them a friendly smile. Draco merely sneered and turned away, swaggering in the direction of the dungeons. Harry and Cedric traded a look before saying goodbye to Ron and Hermione and following the sulking blonde together.
Three Hours later, and two hours left to go…
Harry threw down his quill with a groan, massaging his aching right hand, "Bloody hell!" he sighed. Cedric looked up from his position sitting atop Professor Snape's desk and sent him a small grin, "Hang in there Harry, only another two hours to go."
Harry balled up an old bit of parchment and threw it at him, "Yeah, cause that make's me feel better Cedric!"
Cedric laughed and caught the ball, throwing it from one hand to the other and back again. Draco snorted and looked up from his own lines, "Honestly, if this display continues further I think I'm going to be sick." ignoring Harry's mutinous glare and Cedric's frown Draco stood and swaggered to the door. When he reached it he turned and said loftily, "Bathroom Diggory." in answer to the unasked question.
Cedric raised his eyebrows, but nodded, "And if you make a run for it after Malfoy you'll only end up in more trouble!"
In return he received a mumbled string of curse words which echoed back through the dungeon corridor, making Cedric laugh.
Harry looked down, face turning bright red. He was alone with Cedric. He swallowed deeply and tugged on the collar of his robes, despite being in the dungeon it was suddenly very hot in here, or maybe that was just Harry. Harry kept his gaze on his parchment and drew in a deep breath,
Come on Harry, calm down before you give yourself away!
His thoughts were cut off with a sharp gasp as he felt Cedric's breath against his ear, "Everything OK Harry?"
Harry whipped around, coming nose to nose with the smiling Hufflepuff. He swallowed and stammered, "U-uh yeah, yeah I am."
Cedric nodded, then looked around before leaning back down to Harry, "Harry…" he murmured softly, attracting Harry's full and confused attention with the smooth tone he was using, "Can I ask you something?"
Harry lent back in his chair, terrified that is he was close to Cedric for too long he'd do something stupid, "C-course you can!" he laughed nervously as he looked away.
Cedric nodded, then placed a finger under Harry's chin, forcing the green eyed boy to look up. Cedric smirked lightly, "Harry, I want to kiss you… do you mind?"
Harry's eyes widened, "Uh… what?"
Cedric took hold of Harry's chin, then lent down and kissed the stunned Gryffindor. Harry gasped, and Cedric used the opportunity to explore Harry's mouth with his tongue, revelling in the soft moan the younger boy gave.
Draco walked back into the dungeon twenty minutes later. His eyes narrowed suspiciously, Diggory was still sitting on Snape's desk, a book resting on his thighs. Potter was still writing notes, but Diggory seemed indecently satisfied with something, and Potter looked flushed and edgy. He walked past Harry, taking a careful look at his face. Potter had the telltale signs of someone who'd just enjoyed a thorough snogging, but he doubted that even Diggory would let Potter off to play tonsil tennis for a bit. Unless… Draco shook the thought away and sat down, Nah, nah way. Potter might be a complete fucking asshole, but he isn't a fairy boy… Or if he is, Diggory definitely isn't, he's with that Ravenclaw bird… What was her name? Oh yeah, Cho Chang.
He was shook from his thoughts a while later by Cedric Diggory saying, "OK boys, that's it for tonight, I guess I'll see you tomorrow for your last detention."
Draco threw his things into his bag, walked past Diggory and threw his lines at him, not even stopping to make some sarcastic comment before he left, making Harry stare after him in shock, "What the bloody hell just happened here?"
Cedric shrugged, took Harry's lines, then pulled the smaller boy to him, "Do I get a goodnight kiss Harry?"
Harry blushed as he looked up at the smirking Hufflepuff. Blushing, he nodded, then felt his eyes closed as Cedric's mouth covered his own…
Draco watched the whole scene through the gap in the Potions classroom door. His eyes were popping out and his mouth was open slightly. He almost choked as he watched Cedric move his hands boldly down Harry's back to cup the boy's arse. "H-holy shit!" he whispered, before turning and bolting to the Slytherin Common Room.
When he entered, he went straight to his dorm, flung his things down and getting into his four poster, closing the emerald curtains around it. He lay there, a hand under his head, the other buried in his hair. What was wrong with him? Instead of bursting in and taunting the pair about being gay, Draco had bolted… he had bolted, feeling suspiciously pissed about the fact that it was Diggory's hands moving down the slender figure… instead of his own…
Draco bolted upright with a strangled, "Oh holy fuck!"
