Like the dog has a chain clinging tight to its neck
This man is tied to his secrecy
I would like to have killed him off in this last verse
But instead I removed his lampshade

Lampshade
Chapter Nine:
Harry was more than happy waking up on a beautiful Saturday. He jumped out of bed and hurried to the bathroom. He took a quick shower, dried his hair with a simple drying charm and...
Is my hair always this unruly?
Harry ran his fingers through his hair only to make it stand up even more. He decided to use some of Seamus' hair gel. He took a small amount and rubbed it between his fingers and through his hair. When he was done he looked at his reflection in the mirror.
He won't be seeing this coming
His bangs were flattened and it made his hair look a little longer. He noticed that Dean had several bottles of cologne on his side of the sink. He grabbed a bottle and smelled it. The first one was so strong that he started coughing. The second one was a little bit better but not really his style. He rummaged through a draw and found a bottle with a peculiar note attached to it.
"Only for special occasions." and on the back there was another small note clearly written by Seamus.
"Beware of gay guys." Harry laughed out loud and smelled it. It had a sweet yet manly smell to it and Harry dabbed on a small amount. Harry went to his closet and found the perfect outfit for the day. He chose to wear a black button-up shirt, a pair of dark blue jeans and-
"Kreacher!" Harry said and heard a small pop beside him. His house elf bowed low and his filthy pillow case almost fell off his small shoulders. Harry smiled at him.
"I need you to get me a pair of black shoes, thank you." He added and Kreacher bowed again.
"I will be right back Mr. Potter." Within 20 seconds the elf was back carrying a pair of expensive looking black shoes. Harry took them from him and put them on.
"Thank you Kreacher, that was very kind of you."
"Why are you up already mate?" Ron groaned from his bed.
"Couldn't sleep. I'll wait for you in the common room." Harry made his way down and of course Hermione was already there, sitting on the couch with a book in her hands. She looked up as Harry sat down next to her. She smiled widely and leaned back to getter a better look.
"Wow, you look good today and you smell nice too." Harry grinned at her.
"Thank you Hermione."
"I am so used to you and Ron smelling like you just ran 10 miles." She made a disgusted face and laughed when he pinched her belly.
"We do not smell like that." Ron said as he came down the stairs and the others followed him out the portrait hole.
"No we don't, though I can't really speak for you Ron." Ron gave him an 'Oh no, you didn't look' and started chasing Harry. Harry hid behind Hermione who just pushed him away. Their chase ended when they reached the Great Hall and sat down. Ron was eyeing Harry curiously but didn't say anything. Draco was already there and Harry tried his best not to keep staring at him. Harry finished quickly and to his disappointment so did Hermione and Ron, Ron was still chewing on a sandwich when they went out the great hall but it was an improvement.
"Why are you dressed up so nicely today?" Ron asked as they walked down the corridor. Harry just shrugged but Hermione cut in as well.
"Yeah I was wondering that too, though I think this is too buttoned up Harry." She turned to try and open the top button on his shirt when a voice interrupted them.
"Hey Potter." Harry looked up to see Draco walking towards them. He didn't say it in a nasty way which Harry could see alarmed Hermione a little. Draco stepped closer to them.
"Let me help you with that Granger." He said and Hermione quickly removed her hands from Harry's shirt. The next thing happened so fast that it took Harry a moment to figure out what Draco had done. Draco rubbed his hands together, licked his thumb and swiftly moved it over Harry's shirt making the top two buttons pop open without damaging the shirt. Draco had a very content look on his face as he made his way pass the trio patting Harry on the shoulder as he went.
"No need to thank me, I've done that quite a few times." Draco said and smirked at the group.
"See you later Harry." Draco put his hands in his pockets and started humming as he turned the corner. Harry was trying to hold back a laugh as he looked at Ron and Hermione's faces.
"We're on a truce, remember." Harry said and walked in front of them. "-and he is not that bad." He added as Ron kept glaring at him all the way back at the common room.
Harry hadn't talk that much to Ron and Hermione since they left to search for Horcruxes. He had forgotten how he enjoyed their company. The sat in the common room talking until lunch time and Harry nearly forgot about Draco. He hurried up to his dormitory and found the Marauders map. Draco was walking towards the Gryffindor common room. He jumped down the stairs and received confused glances from Ron and Hermione.
"Where are you going Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Err... I'll be back in 10 minutes."
"Don't be late though, lunch will start in 20 minutes and I don't want to be late." Harry opened up the portrait hole and jumped out. Draco was already walking towards him.
"Hey Jamie." Draco greeted him. Harry frowned at him.
"Hey, err.. Drake?" Draco laughed and gestured for Harry to follow him away from the hole, so no one would notice them. Draco gave him a chaste kiss and Harry smiled at him.
"What's with the nick name Draco?" Draco wiggled his eye brows at him making Harry snort a little.
"I just thought it sounded cute, Jamie." He added and kissed him again.
"Did you miss me?" Harry asked and Draco pouted. Harry smiled into the kiss but Draco pulled away.
"I actually had a message for you and the other Gryffindorks."
"Hey!" Harry said and smacked him playfully on the arm. Draco smiled and dragged him towards the portrait hole again. Harry was a little unsure what the others would say when Draco would walk in but apparently Draco didn't care because he was waiting for Harry to say the password.
"Godric" Harry told the portrait and she let the door swing open. Draco shook his head before he went inside.
"So obvious." Harry pushed him inside making Draco stumble into the common room. All of Harry's fellow classmates stood up with their wands raised at Draco and Harry quickly put his hands up to make them drop their wands. Draco put his most innocent face on and started to speak.
"Sorry for the interruption but I have a message for you. We, meaning the Slytherins would like you all to join us in a game of friendly Truth or Dare tonight. Of course you guys can choose the common room to do this in. My friend Harry here-" He grabbed Harry around the neck and pulled him closer. The back of his neck felt warm at the touch. Harry tried his best to keep a composed face as Draco continued, "- agreed so I hope that you will too." Harry didn't remember that he agreed to anything but shut up nonetheless. It could turn out to be fun though, spending a night with the Slytherins.
"Harry will let me know what you decided, see you at lunch."
Draco let go of Harry's neck and patted him on the arm before leaving the common room. It was certainly going to be an eventful night.
