else.
I liked the whole chicken prank. I made it up on the spot, pretty inventive huh?

Trinity Nation
Chapter four
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
There stood three giant chickens and ne on the floor. Harry, Hermione and Ginny, Ron had fainted. Harry's emerald eyes, so like mine, snapped in furry while Hermione just looked shocked and hurt. Ginny smiled a little and grabbed Harry's sleeve to hold him back.
"You!" he hissed angrily. He wasn't looking at me though. I turned to Draco, he glared at my three friends over my shoulder.
"Potter." He acknowleged him.
"Why weren't you at the feast?" He snapped.
"What, so I could get pranked like you? By the way, you look better as a chicken. I guess it's good that it's not Thanksgiving, the house elves would have a field day." He sneered. It was funny but I kept my laugh in.
Harry bristled and jerked free from Ginny's grasp.
Draco pushed me out of his way.
"You've been spying on us have you. Think you know our secrets do you. Is that why you're here in the library so you didn't feathered?" Harry seemed to forget that he'd just seen me with Draco locked in an embrace.
"What so you can have the satisfaction of humiluating me? I don't think so. You don't even have the brains to avoid your own prank." Harry yelled his frustration and charged him. Draco got out his wand and aimed it at Harry's throat.
"Stop! You're acting like two year olds." That was the ever-sensible Hermione again. "I'm sure there's a logical explaination as to why he's here and normal." She looked pointedly at Draco who shrugged.
"See? I told you he was spying on us. It's the only reason he won't say anything." He rolled his sleeves up to his elbows with a menacing jeer on his face.
I closed my eyes and lifted my face towards the ceiling. Either I let them do whatever they're going to do to Draco and lose one friend but keep the others or I stop them and keep one friend.
"Trin!" Ginny whispered.
I opened my eyes.
"Stop them. You're his friend."
Just as Harry let go his curse, I jumped in front of it. My skin began to sting as if burns covered my body. I felt to the floor choking on a scream.
I saw Harry just stand there, shocked; it was Draco who bent down to help me by releasing the curse.
Tears ran down my cheeks and Draco rubbed my back.
"Harry, stop. I told Draco not to go to the feast. He wasn't spying, it was me."
"What?" Hermione was helping Ron up.
"You're my friend, Harry. But the thing is Draco is also my friend. I couldn't let him get humiliated and have him think I was in on it."
Harry was shaking his head, he took a step back and then turned and ran from the library.
Ron looked confused as he stared at our faces. "I didn't just see what I think I saw, did I?" I moved away from Draco and Ron saw him.
"You!"
"Ron, lets go." Hermione pulled on his sleave.
"But, no, Trin?" He looked pointedly at Draco. I nodded. Ron's face screwed up in disgust.
"Come on, Ron. See you later, Trin."
"Promise?" I asked.
Hermione smiled. "Of course. Where will I eat dinner?"
"You managed before."
"I'll see you later." She said firmly and pulled a still protesting Ron along behind her.
*************
"Listen, Trin, I shouldn't have done that." He said a liitle while later. "Maybe we should cool it a bit, okay?"
I couldn't look at him. "Sure."
"Don't be mad, Trin. It's really sensible. We should stay away from each other for a while."
"How can you say that after what just happened?"
"Nothing happened! It was just a kiss."
"But I helped you."
"No one asked you to."
"I thought we were friends."
"We are. It's just we're so different. We have different friends, you grew up with Voldemort's protection to lead you through life. I grew up obeying him in fear for my life. Trin, you have nothing to fear from him, so you don't know what it's like."
"That's why you want to avoid me? You know what Draco, I don't need your so called friendship. You think we're so different? We're not. We both grew up wishing for love and it's because of Voldemort that we don't have it. I thought I would find it here at Hogwarts and I was right. Even without you, I would have found it."
"No, Trin, you think you know what you're looking for. Love? My parents never loved me, I don't need it and I'll never have it. As long as I know where I stand in this war, and that's with Dumbledore, I'll be fine. Where do you stand? In the middle? It doesn't work like that, you're either with us or without us. So which is it Trinity Nation? Are you going to help us fight or are
you going to be Voldmeort's heirand lead the world to distruction?"
"It won't be like that." I said shaking my head.
"Yes, it will. Have you ever been to one of their meetings? Have you seen the dark lord? I didn't think so. You don't know why people are so afraid of him that they can't even say his name. You are so close Trin, take that extra step otherwise you'll be just like him, pretty soon you have no heart and like him, you'll kill all that ever meant anything to you."
He grabbed my shoulders and forced me to look at him but I pushed him away and ran, tears streaming down my face.
I burst into the common room, evryone was sitting around the fire whispering amonst themselves. They turned when I came in and took in my red splotchy face and messy hair.
"Trin?" Ginny said and came towards me. I ran past her, up into my room. I could hear her pounding steps behind me as I collapsed on my bed, sobbing.
She sat down next to me and hugged me.

I got a new story, "The problem with Harry"
It not related to this fic, though.
It's about Harry being in love with a bitchy sixth year girl who's friends with Ginny, who helps him get them together.
