As soon as Harry left the Great Hall, he found himself being pressed up against the wall with Draco's mouth on his own. The Slytherin urged Harry's lips open, then slipped his tongue in. Harry moaned, burying his fingers in Draco's blonde hair and kissed back. Draco's fingers snapped open the button of Harry's pants, then started to pull down his fly. With a groan, Harry grabbed Draco's hand to stop him.

"Draco," he panted, "someone could come!"

Draco grinned. "That's what I wanted to help *you* with."

Harry flushed.

"Well isn't this unexpected," a voice said sarcastically.

"Ron!" Harry squeaked, both him and Draco turning their heads to look at the red-haired boy.

Draco didn't release Harry, raising an eyebrow, "don't you have anything better to do, Weasley? We were kind of in the middle of something."

Ron glared at him. "No kidding. It's no surprise that your the one who gave Harry the hickey, Malfoy."

Draco smirked, "yeah well, first come, first serve."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"What do you think? Don't tell me you thought I didn't know you wanted him, too. All that time you two spend together. I know the looks you send his way when you don't think he's looking. So *sorry* to tell you this, Weasley, but Harry belongs to me."

"Is that a fact."

"It is."

"Don't *I* have a say in this?!" Harry demanded, carefully pushing Draco away.

"Your saying you don't want me?" Draco questioned, looking at Harry as if he thought the Gryffindor was off his rocker.

Ron snorted, "oh please, Malfoy. Not everyone wants you." (A/N: that's a LIE! we ALL want Draco! ^_^)

"Thank Merlin! I don't think I could stomach it if *you* liked me, Weasley."

Ron looked disgusted. "Oh please. Don't say things like that unless you want me to bring my food back up."

"Both of you shut up!" Harry demanded. He turned to Ron, looking confused, "you like me?"

Ron cleared his throat, "well.. yeah. I don't know for how long, or when it started. But I know that I do want you."

"Him, or his spotlight?" Draco said.

"I could ask the same of you!" Ron spat back.

"Why would I need his spotlight? I may not be the Golden Boy, but I have my share of followers." (A/N: oh yes, and they're *faithful* followers of the gorgeous Slytherin. ::drool:: O_O)

Harry was losing his patience, "both of you knock it off! Look, I.. I need to think about this. Alright? So both of you do me a favor and leave me alone for a while. There's too much to sort out right now."

With that, Harry walked quickly away. He silently thanked the fact that it was Saturday and he didn't have to worry about going to any classes.

"If I were you, I wouldn't even try to turn to Granger for support, Weasley," Draco drawled, smirking at the other boy. "She's too busy lusting over Star to deal with your whining."

Ron glared icily at Draco until he was out of sight. If it was at all possible, he hated the Slytherin even more then he had already. What crap was he trying to fill his head with now?

"Hermione and *Pellerin*? Yeah sure, like *that* will ever happen."

~*~

Star walked leisurely through the hall after her talk with Dumbledore and McGonagall. Some people didn't have any humor, but at least Dumbledore was easy on her. She just had a detention. Star didn't like how knowing Dumbledore had looked when she'd told him why she'd put the silencing spell on Pansy. Just because he was the head master didn't mean he knew *everything*. Especially about her.

"Pellerin?"

Star stopped and turned around.

"What?"

Hermione walked up to her, "I know what happened between you and Parkinson."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes. You stood up for me."

Star crossed her arms, "let's get one thing straight, Granger. Just because I stopped Pansy from calling you a Mudblood, does not mean I feel anything for you."

"Is that so? You could have fooled me."

"Yeah well, your just too good for me."

"Too good?"

"Mmhmm. Call it a Slytherin thing, but I like a bit of excitement. You know?"

"Your the one who dated Justin Finch-Fletchley. Your trying to tell me he was exciting?"

Star smiled, "the thing that some people don't know about Justin, is that he can be very exciting."

Hermione raised an eyebrow. "I did not just hear that from you."

"Sorry to disappoint you, Granger," Star said. "But you and I just wouldn't work. Besides, your looking at a future Death Eater. Trust me, you couldn't handle what I have to offer. See you around."

Hermione watched the other girl walk away. She smiled. "Don't worry, Star. I'm not giving up on you so easily."

A/N: Me again! ^_^ So, what do we have here? Seems like Harry's confused again. Poor boy! He's being lusted over by his *ahem* former enemy, and also his best friend. What's a cute Gryffindor to do? And poor, naive Ron. He doesn't believe that Hermione could possibly like Star. Ohohoho! What a surprise that'll be! Speaking of that situation, Star claims she doesn't want Hermione. But is that the truth? Hmm... Well, Hermione doesn't believe her, so who knows?

Sakura: I do! I do! ^___^
