Crystal: see? I didn't take as long this time ^_^
Star: look!! ::points at ClarKeRaVen's review:: she *wants* me in the bloody story!
Crystal: but.. I don't ^^;
Star: ::glares at Crystal:: your so cruel
Crystal: I know ^_^ sorry, ClarKeRaVen! I appreciate that you like Star that much ^_^ but she just wouldn't work for this story. but this decision isn't final, I *might* have her in it at some point ^_^
Star: huph. oh! and Crystal's friend, Scratches, has written a sorta one shot side-story to this one. Crystal went into a giggle fit when she read it, it's that funny. ::smirk:: so check it out! it's by Scratches, and it's called "Harmony Porter and the Goods"
Crystal: now, without further adeu, the story! ^_^
Harmony trudged up the stairs to the Gryffindor dorm rooms. She had started, out of habit, to go into the boy's dorm, but remembered just in time that she was a girl now, and thusly had to slip into the girls' dorm. It was just a good thing that Harmony, even though previously a boy, wasn't interested in the female form. Otherwise things could get very embarrassing. Although after what had happened during detention, things couldn't possibly get much worse.
She stopped at the fifth year girls' room, and slowly pushed open the door, peeking in. Hermione, Lavender, Parvati, and surprisingly, Ginny, were sitting in a circle on one of the girl's beds, talking and giggling to each other. At the sound of the door opening, all eyes were on Harmony.
"Come on in!" Lavender urged with a smile, waving at the raven-haired girl. "Your just in time to join us!"
"Join you in what?" Harmony asked, slipping into the room and closing the door behind her. She walked over to the bed, and the girls made room for her in the circle. Harmony settled between Ginny and Hermione.
"Talking gossip!" Ginny giggled. "It's what we do best!"
Harmony looked at Hermione, surprised. The other girl blushed, knowing that to gossip wasn't really something that anyone thought she'd do. But she *was* a girl, after all. And any girl, bookworm or not, liked to gossip *sometimes*.
"Soo," Parvati smiled at Harmony, getting her attention, "how did detention with Malfoy go?"
The girl instantly blushed, which sent the other girls into fits of giggles.
"Something happened!" Ginny announced excitedly. "Tell us!"
"I bet he hit on you something awful," Lavender said. "Everyone knows he instantly goes for the pretty girls."
"He started the minute he got introduced to her," Hermione said with a grin, remembering how that little 'meeting' had gone.
Harmony sighed, there was no way she was going to get out of this. "alright, when I got there Snape gave us an essay on the Octaviour Potion--"
"The one that's for people who've been attacked by octopuses?" Hermione cut in. It wasn't really surprising that Snape had assigned such a useless and stupid subject for a report, he was sadistic like that during detentions.
"Yeah.. Anyways, after that he left and told us he'd be back in two hours.."
~*~
Draco smirked and folded his arms behind his head after Snape left, leaning back slightly on his stool and watching Harmony. The girl was banging her forehead repeatedly on the tabletop.
"Now, now, don't take it so hard. I'm sure you'll be in here for plenty of detentions."
Harmony raised her head and glared at him, "this is all *your* fault, Malfoy. Why'd you have to throw mashed potatoes at Neville?"
Draco shrugged, "I was dared to."
"Couldn't you have said no?"
"What for? He looked better with food on his head."
"Your such a jerk."
"How sweet of you to notice."
Harmony rolled her eyes and turned her attention to the long, blank parchment in front of her on the table. She picked up her quill and began to write, but was stopped as a hand was placed on hers. Harmony looked up at Draco, who was standing in front of her table, one hand on the tabletop and the other on her hand. She hadn't even heard him move.
"What're you doing?" Draco asked her, looking amused.
Harmony blinked at him, confused. "What Snape told us to do?"
The Slytherin just laughed. "What for?"
"Don't tell me you forgot already."
"Of *course* I didn't forget, but your doing it the hard way."
"And what way, is the easy way?"
"Like this." Draco took his wand and waved it over the parchment. Instantly words appeared, filling the whole thing.
Harmony stared at the perfect report on the Octaviour Potion in front of her in surprise, then at Draco who looked quite smug. "So *this* is how you get good grades?"
"No, I get my grades on my own," Draco said. "I just use this spell for stupid papers I get assigned during detention. Besides, how did you know I get good grades?"
"Er.. I was told." The raven-haired girl turned her gaze to the clock. They still had the whole two hours to kill.
"Don't worry, there's other ways we can waste the time," Draco smirked, as if reading the girl's thoughts.
Harmony couldn't help feeling nervous, knowing by the tone of his voice that Draco wasn't referring to having a conversation. She was torn between being excited, and being petrified. After all this time of having a crush on him, Draco was finally noticing Harry. The problem was, Draco liked her because of what she looked like, not who she was. (Not that the idea of such a thing was a totally bad thought) On the other hand, if Draco *knew* that the girl in front of him was Harry Potter, he'd probably be so disgusted he'd never talk to her again. Plus he'd spread it all around the school.
"I-if you think I'm easy or something--"
Draco laughed. "Contrary to belief, I *don't* like easy girls. They remind me too much of Pansy. I like a good challenge."
"And I suppose you think I'm this week's challenge?"
"Ouch! Right through the heart, Porter!"
"More like the ego."
The blonde in front of her laughed, his hand still on her own and his fingers caressing her skin. "You think so little of me, already. It makes me wonder what Weasel and Mudblood said about me."
Harmony pulled her hand away quickly, glaring up at the gorgeous boy. "Those are my *friends*, and if you think you can just insult them in front of me you've got another thing--"
The girl was cut off in mid-rant as Draco's mouth met her own in a sweet, unexpected kiss. The Slytherin slowly pulled away after a moment, but kept his face close to hers. Harmony's emerald eyes slowly opened, and she gave him a dazed look.
Draco was looking quite smug, "perhaps you should choose your friends more carefully, Porter."
He leaned forward for another kiss, and Harmony found her eyes closing and lips parting slightly in anticipation. Just before Draco's lips touched hers once more, the classroom door opened and Snape stood there.
~*~
The girls all stared at Harmony, their jaws open.
"He *kissed* you?" gasped Ginny.
"And Snape walked in on it?" added Hermione.
Harmony nodded, burying her face in the pillow she'd been hugging since the start of the story.
"So, what happened?" Lavender pressed. "Don't leave us hanging!"
"Malfoy was excused and I got a lecture, and ten points deducted from Gryffindor," Harmony's pillow-muffled voice told them.
Parvati looked surprised, and disappointed at once, "what for?"
"Seducing a fellow student."
There was a moment of silence before all the girls minus Harmony fell over in a heap of giggles.
