Sunday was the day Katie would be posting the final list for this years Gryffindor quidditch team, and the entire common room was on edge. Some were preparing to comfort friends that they knew would make the cut, somewhere standing buy with butterbeer bottles in celebration for the cut... others were simply taking bets... Harry, However, knew who got the chaser sport. There has never ever been a chaser that scored that many goals against Ron.

*please ask another player for the training schedule.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were on their way to the great hall for lunch, just as 20 sickles was being passed from Shamus to Dean. it was just outside of the great hall; after Ron had already run in, smelling the garlic chicken with Hermione after him; When Harry was pulled by his arm into a empty pitch black classroom. In a matter of seconds his wrists were pinned to the stone wall. Someone had him trapped and was breathing down his neck. His wand inreachable. "Shhh love" purred Draco.

Harry relaxed "Draco ..." he whispered

Draco's mouth was on Harry's. Yes, granted - Harry was trapped but dear god I liked it. Draco's tounge licked his soft lips, asking, no, begging for access. Harry obeyed, opening his mouth. Their tounges once again found each other. Draco's hands moved Harrys wrists and found their home on his mates hips, pulling his closer. Harry held Draco by his shoulders - sliding for even more closeness. Their kiss deepen for another few seconds before Draco realised, placing his forehead against Harry's.

"Draco" moaned Harry. Causing his mate to smile.

"Well... I am certainly your friend" joked Draco. His hands now on the stone wall besides his mates head. Harry leaned that few inches and initiated the second kissed. "You certainly are". He gazed back to Dracos grey eyes, while simultaneously locating the door knob. With a smirk Harry opened the door and escaped out, he closed the door just in time to hear the "now you're in for it my dear".

"Harry!" Gleamed Gretchen, jumping in front of him. "I've been looking everywhere for you". She grabbed his elbow, linking her arms around his, allowinng her to lead him from the entrance to the Gryffindor table. "I need grab the qudditch schedule off you".

"I do not have it with me. Perhaps you should ask Katie?"

"Oh? Perhaps I could go with you to get it, we than can go to the library together to copy it?" she replied, Rubbing her thumb over his hand.

"Erm..."

"Please Harry" batting her eyelashes "I really need it"

"Forget it Potter! No matter how much you train. You still want beat Slythren" Draco sneered from across the hall.

"Who ask you Malfoy!" Roared Ron from the other end of the Gryffindor table "last I checked your not even a Slythren anymore!"

"Just because he's not living with us doesn't mean he's not a Slythren" retaliated Pansy from the opposite end of the hall. This caused both Harry and Draco to stop and stare.

" oh, please even when Malfoy was the seeker, you stood no chance. he wouldn't be able to catch a quaffle if it was thrown at him!" Ginny retaliated

" talk about calling the kettle black - you can't even catch the quaffle Weasley and that's your job!" screamed Blaze

"At least Ginny didn't need to buy her way in" Katie added

"At least Draco didn't need to sleep with the captian in order to get a place on the team".

"How dare you!" screamed Ginny

"Come on Weasley! You've got nothing on me" pansy amplified, jumping off the Slythren table.

"Bring it bitch"

Ginny and Pansy where storming towards each other - there respective houses backing them up. it started with a disarmament there, a leg long jinx here. but it escalated to the Gryffindors attempting an all house fireball and the Slytherin's relating with conjuring a gigantic python. in retrospect, the two spells would have destroyed the great hall and half of Hogwarts with it...if wasn't for Dumbledore disarming all 40 students with a single flick of his wand.

"ENOUGH!" he roared. "You have exactly 30 seconds to tell me how this started or I guarantee you that I personally disqualify Gryffindor & Slythren from qudditch while giving each and every one of you detention for the rest of your Hogwarts career".

"She started it" Draco eagerly mentioned, pointing to Gretchen.

"All I did was ask Harry for the training schedule. You were the one who insulted Gryffindor"

"You were throwing yourself at Harry like a little wrench."

"So? Why does it concern you?"

"Take a hint Daniels, he doesn't like you!"

"Like I'll listen to a Slythren"

"Ask him! Go on! Ask him"

"Enough!" This time Snape piped in; who was mirroring mcgonagall, arriving mere seconds behind Dumbledore.

"Miss Daniels and Mr. Malfoy detention my office 4:00 o'clock tomorrow"

"And mine! Tuesday 4:00" mcgonagall replied.

"But, Qudditch practice is tomorrow Professor" Gretchen wined

"How do you know that with out this precious schedule?" Draco replied. Gretchen stared at her feet while remained silent

"You already have one! Don't you?"

"I ... err... "

"That's it" Dracos wand was out pointing at Gretchen. Green sparks begging to fly.

Harry placed his hand on top of his mates, forcing it down.

"Leave her Draco"

"Potter! Because You seem to be involved in all ... this. .. I'll be seeing you tomorrow at 6 as well" hissed Snape. This caused both Draco and Gretchen to smirk - unfortunately, however, Draco saw Gretchen's smirk... green sparks leaving his wand once again. "Draco" Purred Harry. With A snuff Draco stormed off. Katie was just as unimpressed as evident by her hands on her hips and he foot tapping. She missed out on a chance to train one of her new chasers and the lost of her seeker for Mondays practice.

Tension was high Monday evening when Harry arrived and knocked on the potions door - at exactly 4:00 pm. opening the door Gretchen begun to grin, obviously enjoying the time she was going to spend alone with Harry, Draco was staring daggers at the girl and Harry had seemed oblivious to the whole thing

"Nice of you to join us Potter." Snape snarled. Pointing to the potion storeroom

"None of you, will be able to leave until that there is cleaned" ordered Snape, flicking his wand to the potion door, locking the teenagers in. "I will not baby a bunch of teenagers, who appear to lack common self-control." Snape looked at Draco "Therefore, I warn you. One finger - one single finger out of line and I will have no hesitation in sign your explosion papers" Snape's eyes were hard before he left to his personal quarters.

Harry walked into the store room and sighed. He knew it was messy, he knew most students didn't care how the potion ingredient was placed or stored... however the magnitude of the disorganisation was astonishing. "So, I suggest we start my grabbing all the potions ingredients and taking them to the classroom. It will make it easier to organise". Gretchen said.

"That's actually not a bad idea" Harry replied

"Sure" said Draco. Smirking. Cogs turning. "I'll grab the potions on the left, you grab the potions on the right and Harry you grab the ones in the back "

Gretchen stared at Draco... he was being nice too her... too nice

"No" she replied "I'll grab the ones at the back and Harry you grab the one on the right" .

"What ever Daniels"

What Gretchen failed to realise was that it took a 5 seconds quicker to exit the storeroom from the very back then it did from either left or right. Draco of course, knew that. Draco of course, also knew that Gretchen was suspicious of him and would want to change any arrangement he had planned. It was the five seconds extra after Gretchen left that Draco used to his advantage and "accidentally" locked him and Harry in. It was dark and cramped. Harry let out a squeak.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy" Harry roared "let me out" panic seeping into his voice.

"Shh" Draco whispered taking Harry by the waist. Holding him tighter. Harry's breath quickening. The blonde tried to bring his lips to the brunette, before harry wriggled out of Draco's grasps.

"No" he whispered, tears beginning to form.

"What's wrong?"

"Please Draco ... just ... . door" The desperation in his voice concerning his mate. With a flick of Dracos wrist the door opened again, with another flick all the potion ingredients were in the classroom. Harry however was now white as a ghost, tears seeping from his eyes.

"You!" Draco pointed to Gretchen "I did YOUR job, now YOU can begin sorting"

"What did you do to him Malfoy?" Gretchen beckon,

"Sort. Now!" Argued Draco.

"Not on your life Malfoy"

"Please, Gretchen" Harry whispered. Gretchen began to bite her lip.

"Alright Harry, but it will cost you..." she batted her eyelashes at him. Moving closer, flicking her wand behind her sending all the core potion ingredients to the storeroom

"Cut the crap Daniels, as I said before he is not interested" Draco replied with two fast flicks sending the common potions ingredients to one side the the rare ingredients to the others.

"I'll wait tell I hear that from him thank you very much" she replied, flicking again - sending the active ingredients to the back of the room

"Gretchen. I am flattered but I'm gay"Harry replied, sending the stable ingredients away.

"What?" Gretchen stopped

"That's right tosser. He doesn't like you! He will never like you!. You lack what he wants!" Draco replied as he sent the last of ingredients to the storeroeom - the dangerous ones. He sent these to the top shelf.

"Harry, you're clearing under a spell"

"No. Gretchen I am not"

"Look at you! You're pale and you have been crying. He has clearly done something too you?"

"You want to know what I've done? I'll show you what I've done" Draco smirked, causing Gretchen to enter into a battle stance, her wand at the ready.

Draco, however grabbed Harry's chin gently, lifting the smaller mans face to him. With a smirk Draco kissed Harry. No... kissing would be an understand... Draco devoured Harry. His tounge entered Harrys mouth in such an over exaggerated way that it was almost juvenal. Draco also did not hesitate to moan loudly. Harry knows that Draco was putting on a show, but the enthusiasm Draco was displaying was a rather turn on.

Harry began to get hard and dear god, did Draco notice... he smiled...rubbing Harry with his hips. With a frown, Draco turned to the girl and flicked his wand "obliviate"

Gretchen stared blankly at the two boys for moment. "Are you ready to start cleaning out this storeroom or not?" She hissed

"You really did bump your head didn't you" Draco replied

"What do you mean?" She asked

"We've finished detention Gretchen," Harry said pointing to the store room and then to the now open dungeon door.

"That means you can leave now princess" Draco replied.

The moment Gretchen walked out the door, draco's mouth was back on Harry's with intensity he had never ever had before. Harry pulled himself up to Draco, standing on his tiptoes. He deepened kiss. His hand playing with Dracos blonde locks. Draco rested his forehead on Harry's

"I don't like her" Draco whispered

"I know" Harry replied. "Draco... I ... I ... think I want to go further"

Draco smiled, rubbing his thumb over Harry's check . "Not tonight".

By lunchtime Friday Harry had been dragged into 4 different empty class rooms, and had dragged his mate into 5. There snogging increasing in more and more intensity, in more and more desire... in more and more passion. In fact, Harry has been late to 3 different classes over the week simply because he need a cold shower and to "relieve" himself. in fact "I am bonded to a fucking tease" had been Harry's most consistent thought over the last 4 days.

At precisely 6:00pm Harry was once again at Dracos door already focusing his efforts on limiting his sexual frustration. Harry knocked once... twice ... before A blood circled scream left Harry's mouth. He doubled to his knees clenching his scar. The last thing he saw before he found himself at Malfoy Manner was Dracos grey eyes.
