author's note: All better, sorry it took so long!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione, as the rest of the females in their Year, shrieked in delight at the huge GRAND SALE sign that plastered all of the Mall entrances. The boys groaned for show, but many were secretly pleased just as much as the girls. Snape, however, was not one of them.
Harry checked out a fashionable and highly comfortable jean jacket in GAP that was 50% off, and Hermione convinced Ron to buy new boxers that were on clearance, as his were terribly threadbare and drab. Lucius bought Draco a huge Waterford Crystal chandelier (nowhere near any sale signs), for no apparent reason except because he could. Neville paid for a cute little bonsai tree, of course. Snape however, purchased nothing but a Chick-Fil-A value meal.
Harry smirked as the teacher wolfed down the chicken nuggets and waffle fries, and quipped, "Munchies?"
Snape glared at him from over his Coke cup. "The American South is the only location of this particular franchise, and I have yet to sample chicken nuggets of this quality in England, nor have I found the damned secret recipe." At Harry's incredulous raised-eyebrow, he picked a nugget out of the bag and proffered it to the Seventh Year, who bit into it slowly, curious as to why Severus would find it as such a rare delicacy.
Snape smirked as the Boy Who Lived's eyes shuddered in ecstacy as the teen brusquely headed off towards the Chick-Fil-A stand in the Food Court, licking his fingers with a hungry look on his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco and Lucius had become very popular as they ambled together through the central part of the Mall, window-shopping and idly making father-son chit chat. Guys and girls, young and old, stopped dead in their tracks and openly gawped at the two Elvish beauties. The Malfoys paid no heed to the fawning crowd, but continued to walk at a leisurely pace. Whispers ran through the groups of onlookers, as people followed the males with their eyes.
"Hey, doesn't the tall dude look something like that dude in that one movie?"
"Yeeeeah, the dude with the blonde hair!"
"Dude!"
Lucius raised a beautifully arched eyebrow at these remarks, and retorted, "We aren't stupid muggle actors! We are royalty!"
The Americans started rummaging through their purses for pens and paper to ask of autographs, the murmuring of, "Royals! They're from England! Oooooh! The accents!" grew more intense, and Harry moved forward to shout at the Malfoys: they were in grave, GRAVE peril!. But he was too late.
Suddenly, the whole assembly, as one giant entity, shrieked at broke into a maddeningly insane dash at the two Adoniss'. Lucius's eyes widened with fear as girl after lustful girl threw herself atop him. "Legolas! My KING! I love youuu! Can I have your autograph?! A hug?!" The crowd engulfed the stricken blondes in a heartbeat. Draco totally freaked, and was currently bolting down the length of the Mall, scores of fans, shouting "Prince! Sign my ass!" hot on his heels. Harry was also caught in the pandemonium when a pack of the teenagers noticed his beautiful physique, and when he made the blunder of opening his mouth and saying, "what?" they heard his wonderful British intonation.
"Frodo!!!" They rushed at him, and he could do little to keep them from ripping his clothes off. He too set off at a break-neck sprint. And to his infinite amusement as he looked back on the event later, Severus was also tossed into the throng, shouting British-enunciated insults as Harry was swept away from his side. Women turned to fawn over his aristocratic feature, and his dead sexy brooding aura. Some actually fainted upon touching him. But Harry was too scared to laugh right now. .
The Potions teacher yelped when a dozen teenage girls pressed themselves to him from every angle He fought his way through to Harry, who had been snagged by his ankles and yanked down to the floor.
Snape was worried that he might have been trampled, but when he reached the Teen Who Kept Living, the boy was laughing insanely. He had lost his bloody beans.
Snape bent to pull Harry up, and was tossed to the ground next to him by the excited crowd. The raven-haired teen giggled, and rolled over until he was lying on his professor's torso. Their faces were just inches away from each other, and Snape was terrified to notice that Harry had stopped that annoying snickering, looking at his with desiring angst in his eyes. And just as he was about to shove Potter off him, the insufferable, obnoxious, delectable youth leaned in and pecked him innocently, yet soundly, on the mouth.
The crowd of girls stepped back and 'awwww'ed and cooed at the scene. The boys who had been harassing them were torn: half had endearing looks on their faces, and the others turned away with exaggerated faces of sickness. Just as Dumbledore, resplendent in a new obscenely-bright tropical shirt, started rounding up the scattered Hogwarts groups, he spotted the couple and their enormous audience. The girls and boys who had chased Draco and tackled Lucius had dragged said wizards with them to watch the romantic scene. Poor Elder Malfoy was looking very harassed....his hair was tangled, and his clothing was torn in several places. A nasty sneaker-shaped bruise was starting to appear on his left cheek.
Draco was sobbing quietly....the girls holding him captive were hugging him with beastly intensity, and a grinning teenage boy had a hand tangled in the white-blonde hair. Dumbledore whispered a spell under his breath, and suddenly Harry, Snape, Lucius, and Draco disappeared from the vice clutches of American fangirls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside, the four men appeared quite suddenly onto the bus, spooking everyone already seated. Ron jumped as Severus and Harry materialized in the seat in front of him. They were still lip-locked, but Snape pulled them apart before people could notice.
Dumbledore stepped onto the bus, and signaled for silence. "Mr. Longbottom, count off!"
Neville called out, "One!" And everyone shouted their number as the line snaked down to the back of the automobile. Finally ending with Blaise Zabini, the Headmaster strapped himself into the driver's seat and pulled out of the Mall, much to the relief of the four men who were attacked within it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a scrumptious dinner at Chili's, Snape and Lucius ushered their herd into the suite at the hotel, both men eager to get a good night's sleep. The boys quickly changed into trunks and pelted out to the pool, leaving the Slytherin alumni alone.
"What happened today, Severus?" Lucius inquired, seating himself opposite Snape at the breakfast table. The potions master gave him "The Look."
"We were trampled by a stampede of witless, hormonal twits." He barked, taking a sip of coffee. Lucius chuckled softly.
"You know what I mean. Was it intentional?"
Severus closed his eyes, remembering the look in Harry's eyes as he pressed his soft, tender lips to his. "No idea."
"Did you like it?"
Snape stood and crossed the room to the couch, and tossed a throw-pillow at the tall blonde's head. "You pervert! That is NONE of your concern!"
Malfoy laughed, clutching the pillow to his chest. "You LOVED it! I just knew you were hopelessly infatuated with the bloody boy!" The professor whined in exhaustion, and promptly tossed his weary body onto one of the twin beds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry crept out of the pull-out couch, glancing at the digital alarm clock glowing on the nightstand, and was pleased to see that it was 1:26, everyone must be dead asleep. He tiptoed over to the right twin bed, and slid himself over the lightly snoring body. It jerked awake instantly.
"Wha-?" It muttered, strong hands grasping his shoulders. He pressed his mouth the Snape's, silencing him. Said teacher moaned in response, grasping thin hips as they straddled his waist. "Why are you doing this to me, Harry?" he whispered in the teen's ear, making him shiver.
"I want to. I've wanted to for a long while, now. And you want it, too." He responded, plastering himself down to mould perfectly with the body beneath his, and dove into another kiss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione snuck into the living room of Ron's suite silently, shutting the door with a barely audible click. She made her way through the Floridian-style arch, only tripping a bit over someone's cluttered clothes. The teen almost shrieked when someone moved on the pull-out couch, but checked herself, and skirted to the other side of the room.
Inside the bedroom, she stalked over to the left twin bed, and crawled under the covers. She had waited two days after her first error to try again, and now she quivered in excitement. She had missed her boyfriend's body pressed up to hers. Her hormones went into overdrive, and her lips descended onto cool, thin ones. They opened to welcome her, and she whimpered quietly as the kiss became more and more intense.....she and Ron had never been this carnal with their lip-locking. She tangled her hands in his long, silky strands......when did he grow it out this long?
Wait a minute.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ron bolted upright in his cot as a girlish shriek echoed through the room. Rushing to the light switch, he flipped it. And fell back onto his cot is disbelief.
Hermione, HIS girlfriend, was in sitting atop a very amused looking Lucius bloody Malfoy. And across from his makeshift bed, Harry and Snape were snogging the life out of each other. Ron's scream was indistinguishable from Hermione's.
He dashed for the door. He had to GET OUT. Turning on another light switch so he could see where he was running, two figures moved on the pull-out. But the red-head couldn't even muster a scream, he was so deeply in shock. Draco Malfoy, bane of every Gryffindor, was in the passionate embrace of Neville Longbottom, both shirtless, both sweaty, both very blind by the sudden bright light.
Ron turned on his heel and sat down on his cot. He looked up at a startled Harry, Hermione, Lucius, and Snape, and burst into tears.
"W-WHY AM I TH-THE ONLY ONE N-NOT GETTING ANY?!" He shouted through his sobs, and all the light bulbs in the room shattered in his anxiety.
