Especially this chapter! This is why my sister wouldn't let me rate it PG.

A/N: Thanks again, Emmy and Mandé for everything (namely, reading this). I dedicate this chapter to you two. Hey Mandé, I've actually learned something from King Lear: most people probably already knew this, but there is a star constellation called Draco, and it's pictured as a dragon. Cool! Also, this is as close to a "flesh fest" as I intend to get - as you'll note, it is not very close at all. Tee hee.

Later that evening, the entire class sat in detention. Snape was not there, but he had locked everything in sight, and everyone knew he was right down the hall, so fun was out of the question. That is of course, until Aura's guitar suddenly appeared in her hand.

"How did you get that down here?" asked Hermione.

Instead of answering however, Aura began to play. She was really quite nervous, for this could end quite badly, but she needed to take a chance. The time was very rapidly approaching when the ultimate duel with Lord Voldemort would take place, and she knew that the sooner things really started in motion, the better. She began to sing a song whose lyrics and melody belonged to a Muggle band called American Hi-Fi, but the magic behind the song was all her own.

"Don't wait for the sun

It could turn black any day

I lost my head in the clouds

When will this haze go away?

I never wanted this"

The song was very slow, and it lulled the students into a state of quasi-consciousness. Aura then placed the guitar on a chair, where it continued to play on its own. She then began to move about the room, standing up any student that wasn't standing up already. The spell the music had placed on them prevented them from arguing with her. She then picked up Harry, and slowly began to dance with him to the song. Other students began to copy her. Ron danced with Hermione, and Dean danced with Lavender. Unsure of what Seamus and Neville were trying to do, she danced Harry over to where Draco still stood, alone. With one quick twirl, she had let go of Harry and forced him into Draco. They placed their arms around one another, letting the rhythm and the spell wash over them. Their eyes never left each other, and while they swayed they each pulled the other closer. Harry's hand moved up into Draco's hair, running his fingers through it, while the other hand rested on the small of Draco's back. Draco's eyes closed, and he leaned himself onto Harry's slightly taller frame. Harry pressed his face gently against Draco's. Cheek to cheek they danced, until Draco pulled back a little to look into Harry's eyes. Slowly, slowly, he tilted his head back and brought his face closer. Harry leaned forward as well, catching Draco's lips with his own as they continued to move to the music. The kiss deepened and they both closed their eyes again, surrendering to the thrill of the taste of each other's tongue.

Satisfied for the moment, Aura whispered a few more song lyrics into each of their ears, in the hopes of encouraging them further once the spell wore off.

"Don't it make you hurt don't it make you feel

Like the world ain't on your side

Like you're never gonna get it right

No I can't fight

I can't sleep at night

Just thinkin' about you

I'm a fool for you"

Hopefully they would get the subliminal message, and would soon realize their true feelings. Time was running out.
