Chapter Five: Snape-olishious
Draco sat on his bed, moodily staring at Potter's. He had just gotten back from Snape's where dinner had been served for the two of them- roast chicken, dumplings, and a side of broccoli which Draco refused to eat. There had also been wine, but Snape had utterly refused to let his student partake, despite the blond's protests that he had it at home. And so, our dear Mr. Malfoy was now perched on the edge of his bed like some dissatisfied ba-bird, his night wrap spread back along the covers like wings. This was shaping up to be a rather depressing vacation.
Just then, the door opened and Potter stuck his head in. "Hey there, Malfoy," he chirruped, though obviously faking his enthusiasm. "Had a nice evening?" He hopped inside, his tail dragging behind him in a blatant display of fatigue.
"Bloody hell," Draco muttered to himself, crossing his arms over his chest. Then he said out loud, "I've had as nice an evening as I could with your dear presence gone." A sneer crossed his face. "Actually it was horrible, Potter. I was pining away without you." The sarcasm in his tone was nearly tangible.
"Well, it's good that I came back, eh?" The annoyingly cute Gryffindor grinned.
"Oh fecking go to bed," snarled Draco, dropping the sarcasm and biting into the meat of the idea.
Potter was obviously too tired to catch the bad word, and just grinned idiotically. "But I want to stay up and talk to you, dearest Draco."
The blond felt his shoulders tense up. Draco. He hated that name coming from Potter's mouth. It sounded… well… just wrong. Too intimate, perhaps, too vulnerable. Draco's face twisted into a mask of hard anger. "I told you to stick to Malfoy, didn't I?" he growled.
"Oh, sorry," Potter said lightly. The dark haired boy had already begun to change into his pajamas. Draco, having nothing better to do, watched. Skin, plaid, skin, plaid… black… skin… skin… oooohhh…. Now that was nice. Potter had wriggled out of his underwear and was currently displaying a shining white ass towards his school rival. Draco smirked. He had been right. It was a cute ass. Fun to look at, and probably lots of fun to play with. Draco's smirk grew as he wondered whether or not that lovely little cleft was virgin. Well, the only way to know was to ask.
"So, Potter, you won't get any from Weasley for a while, will you?"
"What?" The Gryffindor pulled up a fresh pair of boxers, hiding the delectable skin from his new companion's view.
"I mean, that IS what you get up to in those eagles' nests of yours, isn't it?"
"Eagles' nests?" Round, green eyes blinked in the firelight. "I'm afraid I am not sure what you mean, Malfoy."
"Your dorms, idiot. That's what you get up to in your dorms, right?" Draco was put out for having to explain his insult. Potter was supposed to understand him. It wasn't as if he spoke Sphinxic.
"Get up to what?" Potter sat down on his bed, the tail twitching up so that he was comfortably settled. "What do you mean?"
"Sex, you moron!" Draco spat, throwing his hands in the air. "How ever am I going to spend the next two weeks with a blithering idiot like you?! Sex! Sex!" he shouted, waving his blue silk pajama clad arms around. "Sex!"
"With Ron?!" Those lovely green eyes bugged out. "That's just…that's sick, Malfoy!"
"Well, at least you agree with me there," Draco said, lowering his arms, his temperature and heartbeat going back to normal. "I thought you were the whore of Gryffindor, pretty boy."
"You're one to talk, Slytherin slut!" Potter retorted, his cheery demeanor of before vanishing quickly. "How many Slytherins have you nailed this week? Six? One for each day of the week excepting Sunday?"
"I don't take Sunday off," Draco sniffed. "And for your information, it's only been one." Though what he didn't mention was that it was one person he had EVER slept with- and it certainly hadn't been this week. It hadn't even been an enjoyable experience, which he had assumed sex was supposed to be. "I guess you're just a wrinkly prude, Potter," he sighed dramatically.
"Well excuse me for saving my ass for someone who actually cares," Potter spat, and then suddenly turned red. His hands flew to his mouth and he glanced uneasily at the blond.
"What?" Draco asked, irritated, after a few moments.
"Don't you ever repeat that to anyone!" Potter hissed, his eyes narrowing.
"That you're a virgin?" drawled the Boy Who Hated the Boy who Lived.
"No, that I'm…. I'm…" the Gryffindor glanced towards the door "that I'm gay," he whispered guiltily.
"So what?" Draco raised a single perfectly shaped eyebrow. "So is about half the wizarding population. No one cares."
Potter blinked. "R-really?"
"Or at least bisexual." The blond waved his hand. "It's only idiot Muggles who have prejudices like that." He gave Harry a queer look. "Don't tell me you've not seen it going on- Gryffindor is ripe with homos." But the way he said it was more off hand than cruel. "Finnegan, for one. Creevy, if you haven't noticed. Those Weasley twins." He laughed. "Even old Professor Loopy was a gay Gryffindor."
"What?!" squeaked Potter. "Lupin?"
"Of course! Don't tell me you didn't know. That werewolf was mated with Sirius Black long before they graduated from Hogwarts." Draco watched Harry's expression change from shock to Utter Shock. The only difference between the two, you see, was that in Utter Shock, the victim does not move at all, and can barely speak. "Bogey got your tongue?" Draco drawled.
"I….." the dark haired boy squeaked again. "I think I'm going to bed now." And, so saying, he flipped his legs up onto his bed and closed the curtains sharply. A moment later, a loud ripping sound was heard, followed by a thump.
Draco sniggered and closed his curtains with a locking charm. Sounded like the short-sheeting worked.
