"What's the matter, Star?" demanded Draco. The Slytherin girl was staring at him, her face an expression of shock. "Star?"
"Draco, we need to talk!" she hissed, pulling him out of the common room and up the stairs to an old, disused classroom where they usually went when they wanted to be alone. Star slammed the door behind them and locked it with her wand.
"Star, what the hell?"
"Shut up, Draco, unless you want to tell me who Dace is!" Draco's pale face got even paler and he stared at Star with a terrified expression.
"No-one!"
"Draco, you're lying, I can see him!"
\\ Let me speak to her! // demanded Dace. Draco offered no resistance as Dace surged forwards.
"Hello, Dace," said Star calmly.
"Hi, Star."
"How come you're hanging around in Draco's body?"
"I didn't want to die when my body did, so I stuck around. Draco didn't seem to mind."
"What's it like, sharing a body with your brother?"
"Annoying. You know, he's gay and he fancies Potter…
\\ Shut up, Dace! //
"… so I have to put up with that 24/7."
"You poor thing." Draco surged forwards.
"At least I don't fancy Pansy Parkinson!" he retorted, red in the face.
"Eww, Dace, that's really sick!" cried Star.
\\ Ask her how she knew about me, // ordered Dace.
"It's ok, Dace, I can hear you. Well, you… Draco's… been acting strangely lately, and I figured it had something to do with Potter. I found this potion that enables the taker to see everyone's soul. I can't believe that you never told me about Dace!"
"No-one knows," muttered Draco. "We decided to keep it secret, as it's a bit, well, abnormal."
\\ Everything about you's abnormal, // smirked Dace.
"Shut up, Dace! I hate sharing my body with my brother."
\\ Well, I could always force you out. //
"Fuck off."
\\ I would dearly love to, but I'm stuck in your body, dear brother. //
"You don't have to be! See what I have to put up with, Star?" Star nodded, laughing.
"Now all we have to work out what to do about the Potter situation."
\\ There is no Potter situation, // said Dace firmly.
"I think there is. And I did have a plan, but obviously I hadn't counted on Draco sharing a body with his straight brother."
"So what's the plan?" asked Draco, interested.
\\ No! // Dace screamed. \\ We are NOT going ahead with the plan! I refuse to allow you to do it! //
"You can't order me about! Anyway, you can just go to sleep or something…"
\\ What, through the racket you always make when you have sex? //
"Guys, a little too much information there!" laughed Star. "Now, are you going ahead with it or not?"
"Yes," said Draco.
\\ NO! // yelled Dace.
"We'll go with the majority then."
\\ What majority? There's only two of us. //
"I want you to do it, that makes two votes. Right, so here's what we'll do."

Draco paced up and down the disused classroom, ignoring the grumbling from Dace and feeling slightly nervous. Star had slipped off to go and meet Harry. What if Harry didn't come? Worse still, if Harry did come, he would have taken some of that potion that Star had taken. Draco shivered. He wasn't sure that he wanted Harry to know all his secrets.
\\ We don't have to be here. We could be somewhere else. Like in bed. Alone. // grumbled Dace.
\\ Shut up! I'm feeling nervous enough just… just… stay out of my head tonight, alright? //
\\ I'll try, but I'm not promising anything. It could be rather amusing. //
The door opened and Harry walked in. Draco stood, smiling, glad that it was dark to hide the blush.
"Good evening, Harry." Harry didn't reply. He was staring fixedly at a point just to the left of Draco.
"Who are you?" he asked, his face a mixture of shock, surprise and desire.
Sorry about the wait.
