A/N - no drama in this chapter, just wanted it to be as normal as it gets for two Vampires, I'm saving all the excitement for the next chapter... Enjoy

Chapter 8 (Pranks and Romance)

Harrius POV

"Agh!" I screamed in annoyance when there was a knock on the door. I tried to get out of bed quickly, but failed when I fell to the floor, tangled in my duvet covers. Sighing, I run over and open the door, forgetting I'm still in my pyjamas.

"Here is your timetable," Snape said, handing it to me. I'll never forget I almost shat myself being interrupted with my dream about Draco, to only be woken up by the probably scariest Professor in the school. Don't tell anyone I said that.

It was the next day and I honestly, was excited. I could say anything, do anything, without worrying about being a Vampire (well, for the moment), and without being 'The Boy Who Lived'. Just a normal day at Hogwarts.

"Thanks, Sir!" I said happily, Snape raised an eyebrow, but said nothing as he walked away. I looked at the timetable; Transfiguration, Charms, break, DADA, lunch, free. Seemed alright. Only one class with the Gryffindors and thats Transfiguration. In five minutes. Shit.

"Guess I'll have to skip breakfast," I mumbled to myself, wondering why Draco let me sleep in, why didn't he wake me up for Christ sake?! I got changed quickly and ran to McGonagall's classroom, arriving two minutes late. I'm seriously going to kill Dray, I didn't even have time to fix my hair!

"Ah, Harrius Dragomire, how good of you to join us!" She said as I ran up to the front of the room, slightly out of breath. I heard a few people snickering, looking around, I saw Blaise sitting with Dray, both trying not to laugh. I rolled my eyes, feeling slightly jealous. No, wait, scratch that, I'm not jealous. Nope, he's my best friend. Nothing more.

"Sorry Miss, slept through my alarm," I said. She raised her eyebrows, she probably thought I'd come up with a better excuse than that, but seriously, I was asleep like ten minutes ago.

"Your partner is Theodore Nott," She says, pointing to a boy near the back, sitting near Neville and Seamus. I nodded and walked over, all a bit dazed by the whole thing. Neville chuckled when he saw me, I glared at him as I sat down, whilst giving Theo a nod.

"Alright there, Harrius?" Nev asked, if I find out he had anything to do with this, I'll kill The Brotherhood if it's the last thing I do.

"No, no thanks to Draco," I said louldy enough for him to hear, I'm staring holes into the back of his gorgeous blonde hair, making sure he knows I will get him back.

"What did he do?" Theo asked, confused.

"Harrius, you should know your hair is urm, well, pink," Pansy said from the table in front of me. My eyes widened.

"WHAT!" I shouted, forgetting where I was. Draco and Blaise burst out with laughter, I tried to ignore them as I grabbed mirror from Daphney Greengrass, not asking if I could borrow it. Why on Earth does she carry a mirror around anyway?

Pansy was right, instead of dark blue, it was florescent pink. I brought my fingers through some pieces of hair, that were out of place, before giving the mirror back to Daphney.

"Thanks, Daph," I said, surpising her. I shrugged and turned back to Neville and Theo.

"Who wants to help me with revenge?"

"Harrius Scorpius Dragomire!" I smirked when I heard Dray shout my name. Ignoring him, I continued to eat my bacon. Neville, Theo and I thought of a well devised revenge plan, and let me tell you, it was the best one yet. I could tell everyone was looking at either me or Dray, we were in lunch so it was kind of hard for everybody to ignore us. As for my pink hair, I'm proud to say I'm kind of rocking it, that and the ladies of our year, complimenting me.

"Your middle name is Scorpius?" Cedric asked, nicking a bit of my food as he sat down. I nodded. Our group had this time together, un thought out by the teachers, even in different breaks every one of us had a free/or lunch.

"Harrius, why the fuck did you send Weasel a Valentine's day card in my name? It's not even February!" Draco sneered, sitting down in an empty seat next to Samuel. Cedric, Adam, Neville, Theo and I burst out laughing.

"Don't you want to give your undenying love to Ronald? I'm sure his girlfriend wouldn't mind," I said, smirking, knowing full well Hermione is having an argument with Ron outside the Hall at this very moment.

"I don't have 'undenying love' for Ronald!" Draco said furiously. I bet he's regretting messing with me now, making me late for my first day. I saw Blaise raise an eyebrow,

"So who do you love?"

"Yeah, Drake! There must be someone you fancy in the school, otherwise you wouldn't have come back," Pansy added, a few other people agreeing with her. He blushed, I swear, that's the first time he's gone that red in a long time. Did that mean he liked someone? Was it Blaise?

"I'm going to... go," He says, running out of the Hall. I frowned in confusion.

"Aren't you going after him?" Samuel asked and I looked up to him in shock.

"W-well, I-" Damn, why am I stuttering?

"Go on, Harrius, we all know you like him," Blaise said making me rub my forehead.

"I- well, I wouldn't know how to find him," I said feebly. Pansy rolled her eyes,

"Yes you will, go!"

I reluctantly walked out of the Hall, not knowing which way to go. Think, you've known Dray for four years, where would he go?

And to think everyone knows I like him, was it really that obvious? I don't have a chance, I really don't. I was in denial for a long time, about liking him. Mainly because I'm not good enough for him, I don't even know if he even likes guys. He never told me who he fancied in truth or dare, he'd always forfeit.

"Harrius?" I blinked, oh, I'm in the Astronomy tower, wait, I actually found Draco? Must be luck, or something.

"Hi," I said, walking over to the edge, looking out across the lake. Who cares that this place is out of bounds, I'm a Dragomire, we can get away with anything.

"How'd you find me?" He asked, I tensed as he stood next to me, I sighed,

"I have no idea, I just... did,"

"I don't fancy anyone, you know," Dray says. He might as well have taken a dagger and stabbed my heart, twice, then laughed afterwards.

"Oh"

"You okay, Haz?" Sometimes he'd call me that nickname, whenever he knew something was wrong. In the back of my mind, I know he does it when he tries to show he cares, but right now, he is just doing what a normal friend does. And I'm going to reply how I normally would, to a friend.

"Fine,"

"Harrius, look at me-"

"You know what, Draco? I have a lesson to get to,"

"It's free's this afternoon, Harrius, HARRIUS!"

I continued to walk, before I ran to the Quidditch pitch. I don't know, I just felt like flying. I never got to play my first match, it was going to be against Slytherin. I wonder who won that game?

I took Harry's old Nimbus 2001, surprised it was still in the Broomstick cupboard. Nobody was around, I could just, be my self. I put my right foot down and kicked off, zooming out into the air. God, that felt good. If only I had a snitch, but nevermind. I flew to one end of the pitch, up high in the middle of the goal posts. I then zoomed down to the ground, getting closer and closer, imagining what it would be like if I just crashed, or died. How much easier it would be. I then balanced out, about two feet off the ground. Nothing like having adrenaline flowing through you at speed.

I picked the pace up, heading to the other goal posts, changing direction every now and then. As I got to them, I did a backwards flip with the broom, not caring if I would fail. Luckily, I didn't fall. I don't even know how long I've been here for, but I frowned when I heard some clapping from the distance. As I got closer, I held my breath.

It was the Weasley twins.

I got off my broom and walked towards them. I kind off missed the two, I don't know why.

"That was awesome!" Fred said, staring at me. I smiled,

"Thanks, it really wasn't that great," I started to say, but never finished my sentence as they both linked arms, I have no idea where they were taking me, but I didn't care. Anything to distract me from Dra...

"Professor McGonagall!" They shouted at the same time, interrupting where ever she was going. We were near the Hall, or there abouts. A few people looked at us, weirdly.

"Yes?" She asked, obviously annoyed.

"Don't listen to them, you go ahead with whatever you were doing-"

"Shut up, Harrius!" They said together. I rolled my eyes, okay, maybe I didn't miss them. Not at all.

"He should totally be on a Quidditch team," One of them said.

"What? Why are you helping him? He is a Slytherin?" She asked, more confused than ever. I'm not surprised, even I'm confused. I really shouldn't have time for this.

"We don't care! You should've seen him! He did a backwards flip on the broom 50 feet into the air-"

"And, he went from the goal posts, all the way to the ground in the matter of seconds, stopping just as he got to the ground!"

"He's a natural!" They said, finishing of the story together. Great, they were making a scene now, I'd just like to have a normal day, is that too much to ask for? McGonagall's eyes widened, then narrowed.

"Quidditch trials have been and gone, unless you want to talk to Professor Snape-"

"You called?"

"Snape! You've got to let Harrius try out for your team! He's amaaazing," George drawled out, Snape's eyerbows raised, for the second time I'd seen him today. He then grinned,

"Well, okay then, Harrius against you two for the snitch, if you think he's that good, and don't go easy on him, be ready in ten minutes,"

"But Professor Snape! Don't you have a lesson to get to?" McGonagall asked, outraged. Snape shrugged,

"Not anymore. Third years who are in my class, the lesson is now out on the Quidditch pitch, off you go, now!" He shouted. Am I dreaming?!

I kicked off my broom again, joining the Weasley twins. Apparently, they are beaters. Snape let go of the snitch a few minutes ago, I went over to one of the goal posts away from the twins, searching for the snitch. It'd be embarrassing if they found it before I did. Why did Snape let me try out? Is their team really that bad?

I didn't see Draco when the class headed out to the stands. But it's fine I guess.

Suddenly, I saw a glint of gold in the corner of my eye, near one of the teachers stand and I flew off, I don't think the twins saw, so I have an advantage. I got closer, putting my hand out, just then it decided to drop down to the ground. Cursing, I made sure both hands were on my broom as I bolted down to the floor,

"Harrius, watch out!" I heard a shout as the snitch was only about five feet from the ground. I balanced and then, decided to stand up on my broom, the snitch was so close. Where are the twins? Oh well. I shuffled an inch closer, I stretched my hand out an inch closer to the snitch-

I caught it! I jumped back down to my broom and then slowly got to the ground. There, I saw the twins were close behind me, but they were grinning.

"That was quite something, Harrius. Have you trained before? At your old school?" Professor Snape asked. I sighed, and shook my head.

"No, when the Weasley's saw me flying, that was the first time I'd been on a broom," I said, his mouth opened in shock.

"Well, We needed a seeker, training starts Wednesday at five," He said. I couldn't help but be happy. Maybe, just maybe, I could have a normal life. Maybe, I didn't need to go dark, or join the Dark Lord. I could just, live.

A/N- Hi, me again! Before any of you ask any questions, I kind of wanted Snape to be good in my story. I don't know, it just seems like he gets a lot of hate. Don't forget, he is Harrius's Godfather :)
