Chapter 2----Blackmail

Disclaimer: We don't own this stuff. Okay? Understand? Good.

Notes: Second chapter. Finally. I got offa my lazy ass and typed the second chapter, written by Noodle Sisters 1, 2, and 4. Edited by Noodle Sister 1, the most active and nice and wonderful of all the Noodle Sisters. Really. Actually, I'm only doing this because my internet just did something weird, so I can't do anything BUT type this up.

Harry strode off to potions. He was late. Oh so very, extremely late. Professor Snape gave him detention, of course.

Harry scanned the room, looking for an empty chair. Having his wonderful luck and considering his lateness, only one seat was left. Next to Draco Malfoy.

Now why would Malfoy be sitting alone?

Harry sat down nervously under the intense glare that Malfoy was sending in his general direction. He squirmed uncomfortably in his seat, trying to move his chair further away. That glare was SCARING him. And he was most definitely NOT having a good day. And upon further examination, Ron and Hermione appeared to be on the other side of the cold and dreary room. Now he couldn't possibly talk to them.

As Professor Snape lectured the class on behavior, Harry's mind drifted to Ron and the theft of his clothes.

The truth was, after what Ron had done, he could not bear to sit by Harry. What happened was that Malfoy, feeling in a particularly bad mood, had managed to obtain naked baby pictures of Ron and had blackmailed him. Unless Ron stole Harry's clothes and admitted to it, Malfoy would have shown the entire student body the pictures. Malfoy, of course, had some laughs over this before finally losing interest.

Notes: Later chapters will reveal why Malfoy was in a particularly bad mood and was sitting alone. And as for why Snape was lecturing on behavior, somebody had thrown some explosive thing at him. Yup. And I needed a transition paragraph because what I wrote and what Noodle Sister 4 wrote abruptly went from one to the other. Maybe we'll write a fanfic about it later. That could prove to be amusing, seeing as it is summer and we're all bored out of our insane minds.
