"Oh Merlin! It's her," Marcus caught Harry shoulder and tried to hide behind her.
Harry looked sideways, "What are you doing Marc?"
"Save me Harry." Marcus said with a pleading look.
"What?" She didn't know what be was talking about.
"Last week I helped this Revenclaw witch in her homework. Since that day, she has been stalking me."
"How can you be sure?
"I find her everywhere I go. She passed me this note yesterday asking me to be her date, but I didn't reply."
"Who is she?" Harry looked around for the witch he was talking about.
Marcus bought his head close to her ears, "That witch with the glasses. She is wearing yellow dress. " He gestured towards their left side.
Harry looked towards the witch he was talking, "Oh...ha ha ha...I can't believe it...it's Moaning Myrtle." She then startled laughing, imagining the witch who used to haunt girl's washrooms stalking Marcus.
"Don't let her hear you. She will start crying here" Marcus said, still trying hard to hide his face from Myrtle.
Harry kept on laughing, then teased him, " But Marc you two will be perfect. Come to think of it -Myrtle and Marcus...hmm... I like the sound of that."
Marcus looked away."Yeah laugh at me. You have no idea how horrible she is."
Harry shook her head, then put her hand on Marcus's shoulder, "Don't feel bad. I was just teasing you. We are friends right. "
Marcus just looked at Harry, then smiled, "Yeah friends...of course...So.. you want something to drink. I'm feeling slightly thirsty. Just wait here I'll be back with some drinks."
"Hey Marcus" Jenny smiled.
Marcus looked at his fellow Hufflepuff fifth year "Oh hey Jenny. You here too?"
"Yeah I am here with my date Ian. So you're drinking orange juice now? " She asked gesturing towards one of the glasses he was holding.
"No this one is for Harry. Mine is butterbear. So where is Linda? She is invited to right?" He asked, as he took a sip from his glass.
"She is dancing with her date there." She pointed towards dance floor, Marcus looked and found Linda dancing with some wizard there.
He smiled then said "You enjoy. See you later."
Jenny stared as he left. Her plan worked. She was able to add the potion in Evans drink that she earlier bought to add in her date's drink to losen him up. She was having good time with Ian tonight but, as soon as that Stupid brunnette came in, her date started looking towards Evans instead of paying any attention to her. She just fumed.
She remembered how this brunnette's lie led her to make fool of herself in front of her dreamboy Tom. She hated her, her green dress, her nice hair, her make-up, and everything about her. So she went ahead and added that potion in her drink when Marcus was looking towards the dance floor, it will take its effect in few minutes once taken. She smirked and went to dance floor to celebrate her small victory.
Tom consumed one more drink of Firewhiskey. He looked towards her, she was laughing on something that her date just said. He glared at that idiot. Why is he touching her? And bringing his face closer to her?
He drank another glass of Firewhiskey and looked back as that idiot Puff Prefect left for something. Left alone she started looking around, Tom just gazed at her from distance.
He looked as her brother approached her. He was with that Potter, who too looked very friendly with her. They talked for few minutes then left.
Once they left, that Puff idiot returned carrying some drinks. He handed her one glass then said something in her ears and she laughed again. Tom gritted his teeth and picked up another Firewhiskey glass.
He has to do something. He looked around and signalled one Slytherin fourth year witch standing nearby to come. She immediately joined him on his table. "Yes Tom."
Tom looked at her then asked, "You're Samantha right?"
"Yeah." She felt excited that he knew her name.
" Listen Samantha, I want you to do something for me."
"Anything Tom."
"Do you see that Hufflepuff Prefect Marcus Barnes?" Tom asked as he pointed his finger towards Marcus. She nodded, so he continued, "I want you to go and ask him for a dance. And make sure he stays on floor for atleast two songs. Ask him in such a way that he won't say no."
"Okay. But when should I approach him?" She asked with a lot of enthusiasm. It's not everyday any Slytherin gets a chance to do something for their leader Tom.
Tom looked towards Harry who was now drinking her orange drink, while listening to Marcus."Go now."
He looked as Samantha aproached Marcus and said something flattery, as he started blushing and smiling. He then looked towards Harry as if asking for her permission, she nodded and he left with Samantha. Harry looked at them as they left.
Tom then withdrew his wand and tripped one nearby wizard, who just dropped his entire drink on Harry's dress. She just looked at her evening gown then back towards the apologising wizard, then just nodded as if saying its okay and left the room to clean herself.
Tom finished his drink then stood up, and left the party too.
Once outside, he started following her as she moved towards girls washroom. He stumbled slightly as he was somewhat drunk after consuming all those glasses of Firewhiskey.
Then, she suddenly stopped and put her hand on her forehead, then put her other hand on wall as if trying to balance herself.
Tom didn't wait and grabbed her forearm, then dragged her into one of the nearby rooms, which happened to be one of the Slytherin privacy room(room used by Slytherin couples for some privacy).
He locked the door then looked at her. "What are you doing with that idiot? Is he you boyfriend now?"
Harry just gazed at him for few seconds, then started giggling. Then she pouted and said, "Whyy are you sooooo... angryy Tommy? "
Tom frowned at her, "Are you drunk?" He himself was slightly intoxicated as he consumed few glasses of Firewhiskey, but she looked as if she had few bottles of Firewhiskey. But the entire time he observed her she only took one orange drink. He narrowed his eyes, so that Puff prefect added something in her drink.
"Oh Tommy ...I feel so haaabbbyyyy.." She put her hands on his shoulders then tilted her head and winked at him
He just looked at her then said, " I told you not to call me that Evans."
Harry pouted again, "But I like Tommy. " Then grinned and said " Tommy is cute."
Tom just looked at her lips as she kept on pouting and licking with her tongue, then shook his head and said " You're being stupid Evans."
"I am not stupid. You're stu.. stupid." Then pointing her finger at him, she grinned and said, "Tommmy you don't even know.. that... I stole something from you. I fooled you." She started giggling as she thought it was too funny.
He raised one eyebrow and said "Really."
She nodded still giggling
He then asked, "What did you take Evans?"
"ha..ha..ha...you still don't know...your black diary Tommy. I stole it." She laughed, then added "And also your charms homewwork."
"You stole my diary and homework?" He asked, he still remember how much he looked for his missing items everywhere. He never misplaced anything and nobody ever dared to steal anything from him, well apart from this witch.
She grinned "Yeah. From right under your nose Tommy annnnd you never knew."
That got him all curious,"How?"
She started giggling and pushed him away, "I'll show you. You were there, " Then she grabbed his hand and made him sit on the couch.
"And I was here." She stood some distance away from him."You were reading something. Then..swishhhh..I put charm on myself..then.."
Tom stopped listenning to her once she went down and started crawling on her hands and knees towards him. Her gown rose up to her knees and he got good view of her cleavage, as she slowly crawled like a cat towards him.
She stopped in front of him and looked up with those green eyes, "And thats how I did it Tommy." Then she stood up, and he noticed that one of the strap of her gown had also fallen off her shoulder.
He gazed at her from top to bottom and then looked back into into her eyes. He smirked, "I think I should punish you now for this."
He stood up then pushed her against wall and started kissing her hard. He dreamt for so many days about kissing her again, these lips, her scent. He explored her mouth thoroughly with his tongue. She moaned and tightened her hold of his hair in her finger. He continued to leave trail of kisses down her neck.
Soon they were lying on the couch with Tom on top of Harry. She tried to change position but he pinned her down. They were kissing, biting, even scratching each other. However, due to the earlier consumption of whiskey and potion both fell asleep in the middle of everything.
Next day morning.
Harry opened her eyes then closed them again. She tried to move then felt someone lying on top of her. She looked, "Oh holy sh*** "
Tom opened his eyes when he felt someone stir underneath him. Then that someone spoke out some loud unpleasant words near his ear. Having slight hangover after consumption of firewhiskey last evening he got irritated and said "Shut up you bitch."
This got Harry really angry, as she was not a morning person."You bastard. Get off me. " She tried to push him with full force.
Tom's headache was killing him and she just shouted again near his ear. "Will you shut up?"
"You shut your mouth. Get off me " She tried to push him again
Tom gritted his teeth and sat up. Then started pressing his head with his fingers trying to sooth his headache."Bitch."
Harry looked at Tom. He was only wearing his black trousers. His chest and and neck covered with love - bites. She noticed that there were few nail scratch marks on his back. She looked at her own body."You bastard. What have you done to my clothes?"
Tom looked at her. She was glaring at him with her green eyes. Her lips were still swollen, her gown was completely torn, only covering her lower body. Her upper body covered with her strapless bra only. Her hair were undone, she had love - bites all over her body, there were few teeth marks as well. He really liked her this way, covered with his marks all over. He tried not to smirk in front of her, then looking back at her face he said, "Instead of blaming me, try to remember last night. It was you who seduced me."
"I what?" She tried to remember last evening and slowly the memory of the events that took place once she left that party started coming. She suddenly stood up and start walking in circles. " oh fu***** # $% %$# # "
Tom again pressed his head."Will you stop shouting? I am having a headache here."
Harry looked at him exasperated "You're having headache? A headache? Bastard I am having a heart failure here. " She then started saying all the cuss words she could remember. "Oh fu***** #$ #$#$$ #$ &$ ## "
Tom looked at her and shouted, "Shut up or I will stun you."
Harry sat down next to him and started breathing hard, "Oh Merlin, I need something to calm myself."
Tom looked at her, she had her face covered with her hands now, "Tipsy"
There was a popping noise "Young master called."
Tom ordered, " Yeah. I need you to bring calming potion and a hangover potion for me."
"Sure young master." Tipsy nodded enthusiastically, and left with a pop.
In a minute that elf came back and handed the requested potions to Tom. He passed Calming potion to Harry ,"Here drink this. It will calm you down."
Harry took potion from him, and looked at the place where that house elf was standing earlier then towards Tom."You've a personal house elf?" She asked as she swallowed the calming potion he gave her.
He looked sideways at her, "Tipsy is not my personal house elf but Hogwarts. She likes me and assists me whenever I ask her."
She asked, "So you have an elf minion as well?"
He just glared at her then drank his hangover potion.
She started laughing.
He frowned, "Why are you laughing?"
Harry looked at him and said "I just realised that a house elf called 'Tipsy' brought a hangover potion for you. Ha ha ha.."
Tom shook his head, "I think you've gone mad."
Harry just kept on laughing then fell silent after few minutes.
"I still don't understand why I suddenly started behaving that way last night. It was as if I was not thinking straight. I didn't even drink anything. Only that..." Harry stopped and remembered Marcus giving her that orange juice. Did he add something in that? But he is not such a person. She need to ask him.
Tom looked at her. He knew she concluded what he wanted her to know. Take that you stupid Puff prefect, he dug his own grave, now she will surely ditch his acquaintance. He smirked with this thought.
After few moments of sitting queitly, Harry stood up and started looking around, then picked up one torn portion of her evening gown from floor.
Tom looked at her then picked up his black robe. "Here take this. Return this later."
Harry took his robe then put it on, it was slightly big for her, as Tom was few inches taller than her.
Tom picked up his shirt, when she asked. "Can you put on notice-me-not charm on me too? I don't want some professor or student catching me like this."
He looked at her. She was now covered in his black robe, but those marks were still visible on her neck. He felt really possessive on seeing her covered with his marks and clothes. He felt that now she will haunt his dreams and thoughts more. "You'll not start ignoring me again ..will you? You'll attend meals right?"
Harry looked at him. He missed her during meals hours and noticed she was ignoring him. She just kept on staring in his dark brown eyes, then nodded "I will attend meals."
He knew she didn't answer his first question, but shook his head and smiled, then put on notice-me-not charm on her and unlocked the door as well. She frowned at his odd behaviour and kept on looking at him for few seconds then left.
