The next chapter! Yay! ^_^ Oh, as a note, I will obviously not thank the people who flame me or leave.. um.. less then encouraging reviews, which may or may not be considered flames. It depends what they say, on if they are considered such. Yeah ^_^ I also sincerely apologize to Gary and Arianwen Lupin, who thought that this story shouldn't be slash. Thanks tons for your input, which I live on ^_^ But I will be making this slash still, as was my original plan. I did think about changing that, when I read your reviews. But after a lot of thinking, I decided I'll still have the slash content. It won't be for a little while though ^_^ Thanks so much for not flaming, it means the world to me. We authors are much more willing to listen to ideas and thoughts if no nasty flames are involved. Otherwise we just ignore you. Once again, thank you so much ^_^ I wish more reviewers were as kind as you ^___^

It didn't take long for the news of Draco and Star's predicament to circle the school. By dinner that night, everyone knew and was talking about it.

"Oh, Draco! This is so horrid!" Pansy cried dramatically, clinging to the Slytherin's arm at the table.

Star made a face from the other side of Goyle, then turned to Blaise on her other side, "Am I the only one getting sick at this display of affection?"

He shook his head, "no. Why do you think I'm sitting way over here?"

Draco shrugged off Pansy's hands, "stop. I'm trying to eat here, if your little brain hadn't registered the fact."

She didn't seem to notice his lack of interest, "oh, of course Draco! After all, when you start sitting with those Gryffindors, your appetite won't be as good."

Across the hall, Ron pushed his plate away, "I can't take this!"

"Ron, calm down," Hermione said from beside him, cutting her steak. "How do you expect to eat when they're sitting here, if you can't even with the thought that they'll sit here?"

Ron blinked at her, then turned to Harry, "was that english?"

The famous boy shrugged, "I think so."

"Ha ha, funny," Hermione rolled her eyes. "Look Ron, this change isn't going to be fun for any of us."

"Can you believe what McGonagall did?" Fred asked, he and George sitting with Harry, Ron and Hermione. "This is the best thing ever!"

Ron gaped at his brother, "you mean your *happy* with this??"

"Well of course, little brother," George smiled. "You know what this means?"

"Erm.."

"It *means*," Fred beamed, "that it'll be that much easier to get them back for everything!"

"Okay, what're you two planning?" Hermione gave them a disapproving look.

"Us? Hermione, I'm shocked you'd think we'd do something horrid to our fellow students," Fred faked a hurt look.

"You just said you were going to get them back!"

"No I didn't."

"Arg! Your impossible!"

"Aw! I didn't know you cared!"

"Yeah, we thought you liked Ron!" George smiled.

Ron and Hermione blushed.

"She must like guys with red hair," Fred stated matter-of-factly.

"Guys," Ron said.

"Or maybe she likes freckles?" George suggested, ignoring their younger brother.

"Guys!"

"A freckle fetish you think?" Fred continued, also ignoring Ron.

"Red hair and freckles, perhaps?"

"Or it could be the love for Quidditch."

"Hmm.. maybe."

"GUYS!!" Ron shouted loudly.

The whole student body stopped and looked at him. Ron cleared his throat, laughing nevously.

"Heh.. guys, will you stop? Your being obnoxious."

"But Ronniekins! We like being obnoxious!" Fred grinned, rubbing Ron's hair.

Harry chuckled.

The next day, Draco and Star were forced into the task of moving their things into the Gryffindor dorms. Talk about less then fun.

"Say, Malfoy?" Seamus said, standing beside the supposed-to-be-Slytherin after he'd set up the empty bed in the six-year Gryffindor boy's room.

"What?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

"You practice more advanced magic at home, right?"

"Maybe," Draco crossed his arms. "Why?"

"Because I have this horrid nightmare about Filch in a frilly pink tootoo, and I was hoping you could--"

"Say no more, Finnigan," Draco cut him off, putting up his hand. "Your going to give *me* visions."

"Really? Well there's also the ones about Dumbledore in drag--"

"Stop! The horror!!" Neville cried from his own side of the room, which when Seamus was talking, was within listening range.

Draco sighed, "tell me this is a nightmare."

Seamus giggled and threw his arms around Draco in a hug, "sorry, Drac. This is reality!"

Draco pulled away, "let's get one thing straight, Finnigan. No touching."

"Straight? In this dorm? Hardly!" Seamus laughed. "Now, if you want to talk bi--"

"Too much information!!" Draco yelled.

"Having trouble, Malfoy?" Harry inquired, amused, as he walked into the dorm.

"Nothing I can't handle, Potter," Draco said coolly. He glanced at Seamus, who gave him a bright smile. Then at Neville, who was rocking back and forth muttering, "the horror.. the horror!" He raised an eyebrow at Harry, "no wonder. You've earned my sympathy, Potter. Truly." Shaking his head, Draco walked out of the dorm.

"Hey Harry, Malfoy may be a prick. But he's got the nicest ass I've ever seen!" Seamus declared. (A/N: we all know it's true! ^_^)

Harry rolled his eyes.

In the Gryffindor girl's dorm, Star had finished getting her bed ready too. With a sigh, she flopped down onto her back, one of her legs dangling off the side of the mattress. Her cat, Wizard, growled from his spot lying on the other end of the bed, his tail thrashing.

"I know, Wizard," Star sighed. "I hate it, too. Stupid punishment.."

"Well maybe you wouldn't *be* getting punished, if you weren't so mean to everyone," Hermione stated from her own bed.

Star sat up and glared at her, "if you haven't realized already, Granger, Slytherins are hardly nice."

"Well, for a month you and Draco aren't Slytherins anymore. Your Gryffindors."

"No kidding. It's a living nightmare for us."

"How do you think we feel?"

"Well I'm so *sorry* for having invaded your perfect little bubble, Granger. I'll *try* not to damage the holy light with my evil darkness. Okay?"

Star got off the bed and strode quickly from the room, slamming the door behind her. Hermione sighed and went back to writing in her diary.

"Evil darkness is an understatement.."
