A/N: So work continues on this fic. I am working on the sequel to L and D. If I feel really impatient, I might post it today or tomorrow, half-baked plot(s), spelling erors, cultural oversights and all. ^_^

Seamus and Dean were in the library working on their potions assignment. This was the first year they didn't have potions with the Slytherins. That honor went to the Hufflepuffs. "You know," Seamus piped up," I've been thinking."
"Uh-oh," said Dean, scribbling notes on a roll of parchment.
"Very funny. I've been thinking about this whole Justin/Harry thing." Dean put down his quill and looked up.
"Let's hear it," he sighed.
"Do you think it's possible that Harry is gay?"
"Anything's possible, Seamus."
"Fine. Is it probable that Harry is gay?"
"Well..."
"Think about it. He hasn't had one girlfriend."
"He went to the Yule ball with Parvati."
"And completely ignored her."
"Yeah, okay."
"He's Harry Potter. If he showed the slightest interest, girls would just line up for him."
"Line up?" Dean echoed raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, line up," Seamus repeated.
"This is just speculation."
"There's one way to find out."
"You're not going to ask him, are you?" Dean gasped. Seamus looked scandalized.
"Of course I'm not going to ask him!" Seamus exclaimed. Dean gave a sigh of relief. "I'm going to ask his friends!"
"Seamus!" Just then Justin and Draco entered the library. Seamus's face lit up with mischief.
"What are those two doing together?" he whispered.
"How should I know?"
"I mean, really, Draco Malfoy in public with a Muggleborn Hufflepuff? Wonders never cease."
"Shut up," Dean replied crossly.
"Gladly. I want to hear what they're saying."
"Draco, did you find that book?" Justin called.
"Yes," Draco replied, turning a corner. He froze suddenly. "Oh my goodness, Justin! It's Potter naked!" Justin dropped whatever book he was holding and covered his face. Draco laughed, though not derisively. Dean and Seamus stifled a fit of giggles. Justin tried to appear calm.
"That was not funny," he said.
"Maybe not, but it was fun to see your face turn three different shades of red," Draco replied.
"You're awful."
"Being awful is a personal hobby of mine."
"Do you have to practice it on me? What have I ever done to you?"
"Now, now, can't go around making exceptions. If I treat you nicely, I'd be expected to treat everyone nicely."
"And that would just ruin your image, wouldn't it?" Seamus asked as they came out from behind the bookshelf.
"Exactly," Draco said coolly.
"Since when have you and Malfoy been on a first-name basis?" Seamus inquired.
"Since-" Actually, come to think of it, Justin couldn't remember.
"Like it's any of your business, Finnigan," Draco said. "Sod off."
"Did we interrupt something?" Seamus asked.
"Actually yes, I was in the middle of harassing Justin for his horribly obvious crush, and if you don't mind, I'd like to continue without you."
"But I do mind. I've been harassing him for days already."
"Have you?"
"I think they'd make a cute couple," Seamus commented.
"By 'cute', you mean 'nauseating'," Draco replied.
"In the dictionary according to Malfoy, yes, cute would be equivalent to nauseating."
"Well, then I agree."
"Justin doesn't."
"We didn't ask him for his opinion."
"Would you be so kind as to help me set them up?" Seamus asked.
Draco thought about it for a moment. He'd be helping a Gryffindor (Yuk.) and setting Justin up with his archrival (Not good.), but Justin and Potter would be a cute match (Did he actually just think that?) and it would make Justin happy...
Justin could tell that Draco was actually considering teaming up with Seamus. He prayed desperately that Draco would say no. The absolute last thing he needed was Draco and Seamus and Dean united against him. *Please, please, please...*
"I'll do it," Draco answered. Seamus beamed. Dean stared in disbelief. *I'm completely and utterly screwed,* thought Justin.
***
So things just go from bad to worse for Justin. Still taking opinions on pairings, so if you have a preference...Review!
Luv ya!
