Book 2: School Troubles
Chapter 12:Holiday
Sadness engulfed Harry in waves of frustration grief as he sat in the corner of the Gryffindor common tower where he was mourning over the death of Dobby, his favorite house elf. From afar his friends, Hermione and Ron watched him worriedly not knowing how to comfort their friend. Slowly rising from their seats, they approached him, sitting across from him.
"Harry." Hermione started off lowly as she lifted her hand to place it on his shoulder causing him to flinch slightly.
Looking up to face his friends, tears filled his eyes, ready to unleash at any given second.
"Harry, it's okay, mate, were here with you." Ron consoled him, giving the Boy-Who-Lived his rarest of Weasely's smiles.
Soon the damn broke and water came rushing down. Hermione wrapped her arms around Harry as he cried.
Luna skipped happily down the halls as she was heading to the require room where everyone was supposed to meet up. Technically that was the plan yet nobody was in sight for the exceptional of Draco Malfoy of course. He looked busy so she decided to go in search for her other friends but in the end she ponder upon Viktor. The Bulgarian seeker told her how happy she was to be with Ron. Too happy in that case. All he ever talked about on the entire way back to the require room was Ron! Ron this, Ron that, and oh Merlin you wouldn't believe what Ron did yesterday!
At this given moment the blonde could care less about the youngest Weasely boy, yet, she sorta felt jealous. Yes, jealous. You see everyone seem to have someone they love except for her. She sorta wish she had someone who loved her as well. Sighing as Viktor rambled, the older teen have guessed something was wrong and flickered her on the forehead causing the Ravenclaw to get out of her trance.
"You okay, Lovegood?" Concern fitted in the Bulgarian's voice.
"Mhmm," Luna hummed, awry. "Just splendid Krum, just splendid."
Though girl had said she was perfectly fine, Viktor, in contrast, knew something was up.
"Something is wrong," argued Viktor. "Tell me what's wrong!" He placed his hands on her hands. His eyes looked into her soulless ones that didn't have any sort of feeling going through them. "Seriously, Luna tell me!" the Bulgarian seeker insisted.
"Nothing you should concern yourself with Krum." Luna exasperated, pushing away from the male.
Speechless, Viktor looked as if he was a fish without water. Really, something was wrong. He's going to find out what! Luna's his friend! If he last recall! They were friends! Friends were supposed to help each other.
"I guess if you don't want to tell me Lovegood, you don't have to." Viktor supposed as he walked passed Luna giving him one of his rarest of smiles.
Startled by Viktor's response, Luna's eyes widened, her optics almost felt like they were bulging for the eye sockets. Almost at least.
"I know you feel left out but know this Lovegood, your my dear friend and I will always help my friends when they need me, promise." the Bulgarian male guaranteed, grinning.
"Thank you, Krum. I appreciate it." Luna replied, wiping her tears away.
Never in her entire life has she ever feel happy to hear someone say that. Her life always seemed so gloomy however when she around Longbottom... wait what! Longbottom, oh yeah! Longbottom! A blush played upon her cheeks as she thought of Neville. She was there for him. Actually, he's only guy who she really ever talk to. Besides Harry, Ron, Blaise, Draco, and Viktor. You see Neville was different, way different from the other guys. Apparently, just thinking of Longbottom made Luna's heart race.
"So your saying this little vial is a possible cure for the dark mark?" Blaise inquired, holding up the small vial of pink potion.
"Yes, Mr. Snape was already working on a formula and Neville the best Herbiology student so he was able to get the ingredients and make an antidote for the dark mark." Ginny informed the two Slytherins.
"Is there anything negative will happen to us?" Pansy questioned. Honestly she would do anything to get rid of mark but she wanted to take caution. It wasn't as if she didn't trust the Gryffindors she just tad nervous. Trust her, she really did care about her fellow Gryffindor friends, all of them, truthfully. Yet she wouldn't deliberately said that to their faces. Merlin, no! She would die of embarrassment!
"No, just maybe a rash in where your dark mark is place but that easily fixable." Neville stated. His friends around him were amaze how confident Longbottom was, this made a smile crept on the corners of their lips. He has changed drastically. No longer that shy, frighten, and clumsy boy anymore. Neville has grew up, and they are proud for him.
"Okay, we will give it a try." One of members of Silver Trio decided. Pretty much, if Longbottom is sure, he will take it. They don't have all day! Time isn't something to waste! Make haste that's what they need! Honestly, Blaise was eager to go to the party, no lie. He gave them a warm smile causing Pansy to smile as well including Ginny and Neville.
"Okay, first we will test it, the Auror wants to test it first with some previously captured Death Eaters," Best Herbiology student cautioned. "After that you can test it.
"When will it be tested?" Parkinson asked. In this given moment, she really wanted the dark mark off. Better yet if Zablini was sure nothing wasn't going to happen to them then let's take it now! Yet she knew, it would be best if she wait unfortunately.
"Over holiday so if it successful, you guys are free!" Ginny exclaimed.
Thrilled, unexpectedly Blaise would never imagined he pulling Ginny, or Neville, nor Pansy into a tight embrace. Ginny, Neville, and Pansy's eyes widened. They didn't think Zablini would hug them better yet hug Gryffindors. Much to their surprise, neither knew how to react but they decided just to hug Blaise back.
Draco was in the requirement prepping for their before holiday party. Possibly, he wouldn't see his friends for three or five to weeks perhaps. He really wasn't so sure. Yet time was now, and Malfoy wanted to spend time with his friends as much as possible not to mention Harry. Merlin! Speaking of Harry! He wants to spend time with Potter as possible if he can. He know they will spend time together, most of the time together. Harry, aw Harry. His sweet Harry! Hitting himself he resume to finishing up last touches needed for a party.
There was music, seating, foot, and all other necessities even some fire whiskey. Time went by, unfortunately to the blonde's dismay, he grew tired of waiting so went looking for his boyfriend and their friends. As he was leaving the library everyone was now walking down the hall.
"Does being on time matter to anyone?" Draco gawked. Everyone laughed at the blonde as a result he pouted slightly. Harry kissed Draco before they went to the room of requirement. Gods, just feeling Harry's lips on his made Malfoy greedy. He wanted one more kiss, one simple kiss. Just a little peck. Nevertheless before Draco could even pull Harry back into the kiss his boyfriend was walking inside the room with everyone else. Draco followed after them.
"Wow, Draco you out done yourself this time!" Blaise exclaimed as they went inside taking in the natural colors.
The blazing fire place, abundance of food that was around, fire whiskey, and many other drinks.
"Well thank you!" Draco said, smiling. At least someone show their gratitude! He knew others did too, however it was nice just to hear someone compliment him on a work well done. He felt flattered.
They all came in, Ron, on the other hand was first to the buffet table. Ginny and Luna started babbling about something about their O.W.L.S coming up soon. Neville was talking with Hermione about the Herbiology project they had done together. Viktor, Harry, and Draco was talking about Quidditch. Pansy and Blaise were on the couch snogging.
"Let's play a game?" Viktor suggested.
"MmmfEmagfoepyttahw?" Ron asked with a mouthful of food.
Ironically nobody understand what the youngest Weasely boy had said except for the Bulgarian of course.
"How about I've never?" Hermione recommended.
"What is that?" Pansy asked.
"It's a muggle game when a person say something they never done and people who have take a drink." Harry explained.
"We can play that later, let's do the gift exchange." Draco said as everyone opened their presents.
Hermione gets books. Both Ginny and Pansy receives variety of clothes. Same goes for Blaise and Neville, including getting books like Hermione. Half of their gifts were either a watch, or in Longbottom's case advance Herbiology books. Then Luna has obtain a shirt, charm bracelet, and books about charms.
Hysterically when it got to last four Hogwarts students it was sort of funny. Funny, to the others. To them not so much. Viktor received condoms, Quidditch gear, a bracelet, and an meblem of Weasely Family. Ron got clothes, Quidditch gear, a bottle of lube, and bracelet of Krum with a crest on it. Draco got several ccharms for his charm bracelet and bottle of lube and condoms. Lastly but least the Boy Who Lived. More condoms, lube, a bit more condoms, DADA books, and photo album.
They then all got into a circle and grabbed the shot glasses not to mention fire whiskey which happen to be a big bottle.
"Who wants to go first?" Neville asked, looking around.
"I will, I have never been to the Ravenclaw study room." Blaise said.
Only Draco, Hermione, and Luna drink that time.
"How did you get into one of those study sessions Draco?" Pansy asked.
"Remember Richard Mills a year younger than us a second year he wanted me to tutor him." Draco explained.
"Okay I will go next," Hermione decided. "I have never slept with a Slytherin."
Harry, Ron, Draco, Pansy, and Blaise all drank. None was surprised at this.
"I have never had a sexual dream before." Luna admitted. Everyone drank this time.
"I have never flown a broom for fun." Neville said. Ron, Harry, Viktor, and Draco all drank.
"I have never..." The game continues like this most them were completely wasted and fall sleep.
The next day they all went back to the dorms and packed their stuff for the holiday before meeting back in the train.
"So what are you doing for the holiday's Viktor?" Blaise asked.
"Well I'm going to meet Mrs. & Mr. Weasely then go back to home to introduce Ron to may parents. What about you?" Viktor questioned.
"Nothing really." answered Zablini.
"My parents will finally be able to come home so I'm excited." Neville said as everyone congratulated him.
Draco was silent he knew what was to come in this holiday.
