Chapter 3 Breakfasts
Harry Potter stepped into the great hall a changed man, for that's what he looked like. A man. Maybe he had realized that his look wasn't the best. Maybe he had realized he needed something's and Dudley's cast off weren't the way to go.
He had left his tired familiar on his bed in Gryffindor tower and descended the stairs alone to go to dinner. Walking into the hall he heard people gasp at his new appearance. Over at the Slytherin table Draco Malfoy cheered loudly in sarcasm.
"Well if that's what one kiss from me does to a fashion disaster maybe I should give out kisses more often. The world would be a much prettier place." He called.
"You hardly gave the kiss Malfoy," Harry replied unconcerned as he strode towards his place at Gryffindor table. "I think you'll find I took it." Blushing the blond growled low in his throat but didn't reply. Counting the point his Harry continued on to his place with the Gryffindor's.
"What the hell happened to you mate!?" demanded an irate Ron Weasley. "What did you go kissin' Malfoy for this morning!?"
"Honestly Ron," Hermione scolded. "He's been missing the whole day and that's the first thing you have to know?!" Grinning meekly Ron shrugged.
"Now Harry, "Hermione started turning to her friend. "Where have you been all day!?"
"Shopping." He replied grinning.
"Shopping?!" Hermione demanded shocked as Ron wrinkled his nose in disgust.
"Yep," Harry replied and selected a dish of chicken curry from the multitude of plates and bowls in front of him.
"And you went where exactly?!" She demanded.
"London." He shrugged. She sprang from her seat with a shriek of outrage.
"LONDON!?" she yelled. "You went to London!? Without telling anyone!? Without taking an adult?!" Apparently this was the biggest outrage in Hermione's book and as her rant had been by far loud enough to spread to the head table Harry grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down.
"Are you trying to get me expelled?!" He hissed. Blushing she sat down quickly and apologized.
"You should have at least let someone know where you were going." She said adamantly.
"Yeah, yeah," he replied dismissively as his gaze wandered. "I'll tell you next time. I've got to go." Standing suddenly he rushed out of the hall at a graceful half run and disappeared up the stairs. Huffing Hermione returned to her meal muttering about rebellious boys ending up in trouble.

It was class the next day before Draco saw Harry again after the dinner incident with Hermione. He had to admit the Gryffindor looked good.
"You scrub up well Potter," He jeered as the Gryffindor stepped into the room with that seductive lilt to his step that Draco had never managed to copy. Not that he would copy Potter of course, he scolded himself.
"Thanks Malfoy," The boy replied distractedly. Not used to being ignored by the bigger boy Draco huffed.
"Like I meant it as a compliment," he sniffed with a toss of his head as the other boy wandered back out of the room to retrieve his bag.
"Hey Ferret," Ron jeered cheerily. "Still looking for someone to spank your ass?!" He laughed.
"Ronald!" Hermione scolded. "It's a very old and respectable tradition." Draco nodded sharply agreeing with her.
"Thank you Granger," He replied, sneering at the red head as if to say 'I told you so'.
"Oh, I wasn't sticking up for you Malfoy." Hermione stated. "I was just defending the tradition your taking part in." Pinking Draco sneered at her and she walked off to her seat.
"So Malfoy?" Ron whispered loud enough for every one to hear. "Any one offered to love, protect and discipline?!"
"Not yet, but your own Dominant just came in so you better watch your mouth, wouldn't want Potter to take you over his knee now would we?" He smirked as Ron gaped in fury. Stepping up behind his friend Harry raised a curious eyebrow.
"Problem?" He inquired. Ron hissed in frustration and stormed off so Harry turned the curious look on the responsible party who shrugged his innocence.
"Not going to stick up for your sub Potter?" he asked meaning Ron. Harry smirked and cocked his head over his shoulder at the red head.
"Ron, stop bothering Malfoy." He reprimanded then turned back to the blond. "Happy?" he asked. The Slytherin could only nod as his mouth fell open in shock.
Smirking Harry strode to his seat just as Snape came in. Seeing his prize pupil staring at Harry in shock he snapped out a ten point reduction from Gryffindor's points on reflex.
"No," Draco blurted as soon as the points had been taken. Snape's eyebrows came up at that.
"Problem Mr. Malfoy?" he asked politely. Draco blanched as he realized he'd spoken aloud.
"Eh," he paused. Draco could literally feel his cheeks turning scarlet. "Potter didn't do anything sir." he said meekly. "He was just playing Dom and sticking up for me and it surprised Me." he stated quietly. Lost for words Snape coughed and turned to the board in a flurry.
"Do not let your silly involvement in this tradition intrude on the lessons Mr. Malfoy." he said finally. Nodding Draco slid down in his seat as the whole class gaped at him.
"Well," Harry muttered in shock. "That was unexpected." Snape snapped his wand at Goyle who was preparing to through a firecracker into Neville's boiling cauldron.
"Ten points from Slytherin Mr. Goyle. And detention with Flitch Ms. Brown!" Snap said as he swirled around to face giggling Lavender brown. He smirked as he saw the small smile drip off her face.
"Now are we ready to work or are we going to act like immature children all day!" Every one scrambled to take out there supplies as words began showing on the wall.
'Ahh fear I love the smell of it in the morning.' Snape thought as he sat at his desk. 'Now if only I could get fired.'
