Spire had entered the Gryffindor common room ratiating with fury. The man was impossible. He hadn't even LOOKED at her. Noticing Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the twins huddled in the corner she stomped over to them and sat down angrily.

Fred and George exchanged a look and Ron raised an eyebrow.

"How'd it go?" Harry voiced what everyone was thinking.

Spire began inspecting her nails.

"Oh well, first we snogged a bit, then we shagged all over the desks, and the blackboard . . . HOW DO YOU THINK IT WENT?!?! HE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME!"

Ron paled and Harry looked slightly uncomfprtable.

"So then you didn't get a shag in with him?"

Spire glared at Seamus who had shouted across the room and then turned her venemous look to her friends.

"Who spilled?"

Ron looked guiltily at his feet and Spire groaned.

"Well so much for secrecy. No, I didn't get a shag in. I wouldn't be here now if I had, I'd still be back there shagging the git."

Seamus wandered over to the group and sat down.

"You know when I heard about your plan I knew it wouldn't work."

Spire glared daggers at him. He swallowed uncomfortably.

"Well what I mean is that with Snape ya gotta take a bit of a different aproach. So I took the liberty of getting some outside help . . ."

Spire raised and eyebrow and the rest of the group looked nervous. Seamus just grinned and went to whisper something to Dean who left the room a moment before re-entering with none other than Draco Malfoy.

"What's HE doing here?" Harry demanded.

Draco paled slightly at Harry's tone of voice going unnoticed by all but Spire. Interesting.

"Draco here's gonna get you ready for the ball tomorrow."

"Huh?" Spire shot him a confused glance.

Draco sat down to explain.

"When Finnegan explained the situation I readily agreed seeing as you made such an impression on me . . ." He recieved a few strange looks. "I respect a woman with a backbone. Even if she IS a Gryffindor . . . besides . . . I can tell you're really a Slytherin at heart."

Spire beamed at that last comment making her new friends look at her strangely, but no one commented.

"So anyway. We have a welcoming ball for you Destiny, and your other friend. Nothing major, just a small gathering Dumbledore pulled together at my suggestion." He smirked.

Spire began to get an insane glint in her eye that was making Harry extremely nervous. This situation was becoming far too surreal.

"SO THAT'S WHAT DUMBLEDORE MEANT!" Hermione exclaimed at Draco's mention of the ball. At her friend's questioning looks she explained. "At lunch Faye and I heard Dumbledore talking about a 'suprise' tomorrow night while we were making out and, er- oh!" She slapped her hands over her mouth. Ron turned beat red and he and Harry favored her with matching shocked expressions. "I have to go," she squeaked gathering her books and running to the girl's dormitories.

"Herm . . . !" Ron ran after her.

Spire shook hr head.

"Well Faye certainly didn't waste any time."

Harry blinked several times and stared at Spire with a worried expression.

"You mean . . . Faye's . . . gay?"

Nod.

"Aand Hermione and her are. . ."

Nod.

"Are you gay?"

Glare.

"Yes I'm trying to get into my potions professor's pants because I'm a lesbian Harry. Do think rationally."

Draco who'd been fidgeting spoke up.

"D-do you have s-some kind of problem with homosexuals P-potter?" Draco stuttered.

Harry gave him a strange look.

"No . . . and I'm sure you'll be sure to rib me about that as well Malfoy. Just leave Hermione alone."

Draco fought back a blush and glared at Harry.

"Queer lover."

Harry got up to give Draco a good punch when he was restrained by Fred and George. Meanwhile the wheels in Spire's head had been turning and she had formed her own opinion on the situation. Oh yes, this would be QUITE a bit of fun.

"Summers, I'll meet you tomorrow after lunch to fill you in on what me and Finnegan have got planned and to help you get ready. You'll look nothing short of stunning!"

And with that Draco Malfoy fled the Gryffindor common room like he was being chased by a herd of dragons.

Spire shook her head.

"It's always the cute ones."
