A/N Yes I know, I finally wrote more, but I had writers block! The worst
disease out there! Just kidding. Well anyway, please review, as always.
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Harry Potter, I only own the plot of my story and the idea that a Gryffindor and a Slytherin could get along.
Summary: Almost everyone in Gryffindor and the rest of Hogwarts have gone home for the holidays in Harry's fifth year, but the threat of Voldemort keeps Harry stuck at Hogwarts. Him and Pansy have been getting along lately, ever since she started tutoring him for Potions at the start of fifth year. Could getting along possibly become falling in love?
For the rest of the day, Harry and Pansy stayed up in Gryffindor Tower, talking and laughing, and of course, leaving time for kissing. Harry was in complete and total bliss, extremely happy with his new relationship with Pansy. However, at 5:30, Pansy convinced Harry to let her go get ready for the formal banquet.
"C'mon Pans, stay, what do you need 1 ½ hours for? Just stay for 15 more minutes!" Harry begged. Pansy giggled.
"Harry, I have to take a shower, dry off, blow dry my hair, style my hair, do my make up, paint my nails, and get dressed. If I don't go now, I'll never make it to dinner. I'll see you there ok?" She kissed him playfully on the lips and hurried out the portrait hole.
"Women, take so god damn long to get ready," Harry grumbled to himself as he plopped back into an armchair.
"Yes, but afterwards it's usually worth it, wouldn't you agree?" a voice behind him asked. Harry shouted out loud and jumped out of the chair to see who it was.
"Sirius! Merry Christmas, what are you doing here? What if someone sees you?" Harry's mood went for excited to see his godfather to terribly worried. The older man grinned.
"Harry, calm down! You'll understand once I give you your Christmas present," Sirius handed Harry a piece of parchment. Harry took it at once and read it. Once he finished, his smile lit up the common room.
"You're free? That's fantastic! But how? Did they catch Wormtail, or what?" Harry bombarded Sirius with questions. Sirius sat down in an armchair and beckoned for Harry to do the same.
"Well, it's somewhat funny how it happened. Wreaked a bit of havoc though, all over the Daily Prophet, and quite possibly even the Muggle news as well…."
"Sirius!" Harry groaned, "Get to the story!" Sirius laughed and did what his godson told him to do.
"Well, Wormtail was on a quest for his master, and it had something to do with going in to a Muggles house and getting an object there. But the problem is, the house belonged to a senile old crone who was afraid of rats, mice, you name it. Whatever Wormtail was ordered to receive was in the basement. One problem. Not-so-bright Peter was ravenous from traveling for who knows how long as a rat. Guess what he spotted?" Sirius asked, smirking slightly.
"What? Food? What does that have to do with anything?" Harry frowned. Sirius shook his head.
"No, well yes food. A nice slab of cheese was just sitting on this piece of wood! Stupid Peter knew what it was of course but his rat instincts took over, he ran up to the cheese and snap!" Sirius clapped his hands together to emphasize the snap. Harry's eyes opened really wide.
"No, you don't mean…."
"Yep. A mousetrap. What a disgraceful way for a human, let alone a wizard to die. However, that's not the end of the story. If you die in an Animagus form, you soon turn back into a human because your brain waves aren't keeping you in an animal form. So this old woman wakes up in the morning, goes downstairs to throw her laundry in her washing machine, and sees a strange man, dead with the mouse trap on his neck. She called the police of course. This could have cause major trouble with the magical community, however thankfully Dumbledore and the Minister were talking with the policemen, trying to track down Voldemort of course, when they heard about this. They asked to come along, knowing that this had to be something to do with a witch or wizard. They saw Peter, put memory charms on everyone who was there, and took Peter away. The rest, history," Sirius smiled.
"A mousetrap. That's terrible. Yes I know Wormtail was responsible for my parents deaths, but ouch!" Harry exclaimed.
"I know. I almost felt sorry for him too. Although, he didn't deserve to live. It was his stupidity that led him to that messy ending. When you are an Animagus, you have to control the animal instincts. That's why the Ministry controls the training so much," Sirius explained.
"So what now? Do you have a house? Can I live with you?" Harry asked, eagerly awaiting the answer.
"No, I don't have a house. Not yet anyway. I have to find one, then get a job. Then I can adopt you. They won't let me adopt you with decent living conditions and a steady job. Cornelius Fudge is actually looking for an opening for me though. Says he owes me for keeping me in Azkaban for so long. He's damned right he owes me," Sirius spat bitterly, and Harry was reminded strongly of the first time he met him, when he still thought he was a murderer. Harry glanced at the clock on the wall and jumped up.
"Sirius, I hate to say this but Dumbledore is having this banquet and it starts in fifteen minutes and I got to get ready, Pansy will kill me if I'm late, especially after bothering her about needing a lot of time,"
"Pansy?" Sirius asked, smirking slightly, "You have a girlfriend?"
Harry blushed.
~*~
"That was a great dinner, don't you think?" Pansy asked Harry as the walked up to Gryffindor Tower.
"Yeah. I think I ate too much though, I feel like I'm going to barf," Harry groaned as he patted his stomach. Pansy made a face.
"Well that's attractive!" She laughed as they walked through the portrait hole. Harry smirked.
"Who says I'm trying to attract you?" he asked, teasing her. Pansy punched him playfully.
"Shut up," she replied and sat down on his lap. Harry laughed quietly as he gazed at her. She looked absolutely stunning. She had parted her hair on the side, and made the ends flip out in a retro sort of way. She had on a silky white sleeveless shirt, and a long black skirt that had a slit up to her thigh.
"I will if you kiss me," he murmured in her ear. She smiled.
"Your wish is my command," giggle Pansy and she turned her body to face him, one leg on either side of him. She smiled and brushed her lips with his. This time, they both opened their mouths almost at once and their tongues met, producing sparks that gave them shivers down their spine. Pansy's hands ran through his jet-black hair, messing it up even more. Harry broke away a traced his kissed down her jawbone, to her neck and shoulders, and back up to her mouth. His hands ran along her back, then her waist, and then….lower. Pansy pulled away from Harry.
"Harry, what are we doing here?" she asked.
Harry was thoroughly confused. "We were kissing, weren't we?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Right now, yes, but I mean with us," Pansy paused to let Harry speak, but he still looked terribly confused.
"I mean with us Harry. Are we just having a two-week fling? Kissing here and there, sometimes more? I mean, what about when our friends come back after Christmas break, what about then. I know Ron and Hermione dislike me, and will you forget about this when they come back? I don't want to be a little secret Harry. I don't want to sneak around. I hate lying, to anyone, and I don't want to start. So what is this?" she asked.
"Pansy, I really, really like you. I love being around you. I don't care if Ron, Hermione or anyone doesn't like you. They aren't with you. I am. I really like you Pans, and I now consider you my girlfriend, and I hope you think of yourself as my girlfriend as well. I won't hide you from them. They deserve to know, as well as you don't deserve to be a secret," Harry enlightened her. Pansy broke out with an dazzling smile that warmed Harry's heart.
"Thank you Harry," she wrapped her arms around him quickly then let go.
"Did you hear? Peter Pettigrew turned out to be alive after all. Then he died, form a mousetrap! He has been a rat for 14 years and no one knew it! They let Sirius Black go to, because it turned out that Pettigrew was the death eater, not Sirius. Can you believe that?" Pansy exclaimed, expecting Harry to look quite shocked. Although he looked calm.
"Yeah I heard, from my godfather," he answered, deciding to tell her about Sirius.
"Oh really? When did you see him? Who is your godfather by the way?" she asked.
"Sirius Black."
