DISCLAIMER: JKR owns everything except Darcey and Alexis. They are mine and I love them.





Harry sat cross-legged on the floor surrounded by presents. He tried pushing his hatred for Ron to the back of his head. Today was his day to be with Draco. Draco sat next to Harry looking eagerly at his gifts. "You don't have to wait for me you know. You can open them now." Harry smiled at him.

"WooHoo." If he could have, Draco would have dove head first into his presents. Draco picked a present from Snape out of his pile. He elegantly ripped the green and silver wrapping paper. He examined what he now held in his hands. A potions book.

"Figures." Draco laughed to himself.

Harry randomly chose one of his presents. Lupin had gotten him a Defense Against the Dark Arts book. He laughed at the irony.

They continued opening their gifts for almost a half an hour. Finally they were down to only the gifts they had bought each other.

Draco opened his first. Underneath all the wrapping paper was a small black box. Draco carefully lifted the top. The first thing he noticed was a small silver chain. His eyes followed the chain down to a five sided star with a circle around it (A/N: A pentacle). A small dragon explored the star.

"It's beautiful," Draco proclaimed.

"So you like it?" asked Harry.

"Yes." Draco wrapped his arms around Harry as they shared one of the most passionate kisses either of them had ever had.

"Okay, it's your turn!" said draco excitedly. And the mini dragon growled at the outburst.

Harry smiled. He didn't think he would ever be able to see any kind of appreciation from Draco last year. But this year was different. Everything has change between the couple. Their ultimate hate was replaced by undying love.

"Hold your horses." said Harry.

"Why would I want to hold my horses?" asked Draco, obviously confused.

"It's an old muggle saying." He tried explaining.

"What ever. Just open your present." whined Draco.

Harry ripped away at the paper only to reveal a large dark red box with several holes on the top. He opened the slightly heavy box and peeked inside. At the very bottom of the box was a sleeping boa constrictor. Harry looked to Draco to make sure that what he saw was really there.

"I figured you could use some company if I were ever gone." Draco explained.

Harry filled with worry. "Why would you ever be gone? I plan on doing whatever is necessary to protect you." Harry proclaimed.

"Calm down. I didn't mean it like that. I was speaking of those cold, lonely nights when we have to sleep in our separate dorm rooms, you twit."

Harry let out a slight sigh and turned back to the sleeping Boa.

"What is its name?"

"I don't know. You should ask her when she wakes up."

Harry couldn't believe it. How could he have forgotten such an important aspect of his life? He hadn't realized he could just speak to her. Now those nights wouldn't be so lonely.

He smiled to Draco. "Thank you Drake."

Draco didn't want Harry to worry, but it was what he originally thought. Voldemort would most definitely come after him, and might even kill Draco. Draco wanted Harry to have something that he could confide in and trust if Draco were to be captured.

"No problem, Harry." He smiled at his boyfriend and softly kissed hi lips. Harry sucked on Draco's bottom lip for a short while before Draco's tongue invaded his mouth.

They briefly pulled apart.

"Merry Christmas, Harry."

"Merry Christmas, Draco."

They quickly made their way to the bed.

***************************************************************************

Harry awoke the next morning feeling incredibly cold. Draco was not beside him like he normally was. There was a note on the night stand.

Harry,
I'm sorry I left you this morning, but I couldn't possibly wake you up. You are an extremely beautiful sleeper.
I await your presence at breakfast.
-Draco

Harry smiled. Then he noticed that his foot was warm. Why would his foot be warm when the rest of his body was chilled to the bone? He sat up and looked to his feet. Upon his left foot lay the new boa that Draco had gotten him. He waited a little while before moving his foot and waking her up.

"Hey! I was comfortable, thank you very much. You just ruined my morning." she hissed.

"Sorry, but I had to get up sometime. What's your name anyway?" asked Harry.

"Alexis. What's yours?"

"Harry Potter," replied Harry.

"Nice to meet you Harry."

"Likewise." Her head was hovering in the air to get a better look at her new owner. (A/N: Don't you love it when snakes do that?)

"Why can you speak to me when every one else can't?" Alexis asked curiously.

"I just can. It's a long story. But it doesn't matter right now. I need to go and eat. Then I can order you some necessities like a cage or something. What ever you want, just ask." Harry offered politely.

"That's okay. All I really need is food. I do not wish to be cooped up in a cage 24-7."

"That's fine with me. Just make sure you don't scare anyone if you decide to leave the room. You can come with me to the kitchens later. I'm sure they'll have something you can eat."

"Go. Have breakfast. I'll be fine here." She slithered her way to Draco's pillow and curled up.

"Are you sure?" asked Harry.

"Yeah," she said sleepily.

Harry quickly got dressed and made his way to the Great Hall. Draco had a seat saved for him at the table.

"Morning, Love." Draco smiled.

Harry planted a firm, loving kiss on Draco's lips.

"What was that for?"

"I met my new room mate this morning." Harry smiled back at him.

"So she's okay? Not bitchy or any thing?" Draco asked, eyes full of concern.

"She's wonderful. Her name is Alexis." Harry beamed.

Draco let out a great sigh of relief. "Well I'm glad you like her. I spent so much time stressing over it, since I couldn't get to know her myself, but her actions were sincere enough."

"Thank you."

Draco leaned over to whisper in Harry's ear. "I believe you already did that last night."

"I'll thank you as much as I want to thank you. Hell, I'll thank you all night long if I have to."

Draco sniggered.

***************************************************************************

"Ron! Hurry up!" Darcey screamed into the prefect's bathroom. "Geez, you're like a chick. How long does it take you to get
ready in the morning?"

Ron came out of the bathroom looking very proud of his outfit choice. Darcey tried her best not to laugh. As much time as Ron had spent getting dressed, it did not matter in the least.

They walked to the Great Hall. On their way, they passed a group of second year girls. They all burst out laughing.

"What the hell is their problem?" Ron asked.

"I have no idea," Darcey replied, trying to suppress a giggle.

A third year buy gasped as they walked by.

At long last they had finally made it to the Great Hall. Darcey pushed open both doors to draw everyone's attention. It worked.
Almost everyone turned their heads to see what was going on. When they all saw Ron they started to laugh.

Draco and Harry were laughing especially hard.

All around the room comments like "Awe it's so small" and "I glad I have my boyfriend" could be heard.

Hermione gawked. There her boyfriend stood, stark naked in a room filled with underage witches and wizards on the arm of a Slytherin.

Harry immediately noticed the hateful look that Hermione was sending Darcey.

"Don't confront him. Not yet anyway. First let him get what he deserves. He wants people to know who he is, he's got it." Harry told her.

"You did this?" she asked. She glanced back at the self conscious redhead. Everyone was pointing and laughing. "He doesn't even know what's going on..."

"From the looks of it, neither do the teachers." Harry observed, smiling.

Hermione glanced towards the staff table. They looked just as bewildered as Ron. She noted that Dumbledore was not among them.

Hermione, despite her boyfriend's humiliation, laughed her arse off.

"The funny thing about this is that I always had to reassure Ron that it was normal, that his penis was just like everyone else's. Now everyone can see his dwarf dick." She chuckled. "Did you do this yourself? The teachers don't seem to have a clue."

"I had help." Harry smiled triumphantly.

He felt a light wait on his shoulder. Harry spun around and came face-to-face with... none other than... Dumbledore.

"Come with me, Harry." Harry followed Dumbledore out of the Great Hall, collecting Ron on the way. The three of the walked silently to Dumbledore's office.

Dumbledore sat behind his large desk.

"Would anyone like a lemon drop?" Dumbledore offered.

The duo politely declined.

"First off, I must ask, do you realize what is going on today,Ron?"

"Not really. Everyone is being so strange. Did something happen that I don't know about?"

Harry tried to sustain a laugh. Ron sat naked in Dumbledore's chair, and no one could tell, but him.

"Well, apperently you made Harry quite angry at you with your quantity of girlfriends. Harry must have felt it was his duty to right the wrong by humiliating you." He paused at the hurt look on Ron's face.

"What exactly did he do to me?"

"Look directly down. What do you see?" asked Dumbledore.

Ron confusedly looked down. "I see my pants sir."

"As do I Mr. Weasley. Though, besides the teachers, no one else can." Dumbledore said slowly, trying to keep the young boy calm. "Oh, and Harry? Next time, make it so that you include portraits in your plans... Some were absolutely horrified."

"So all the students and a fair amount of portraits have seen me naked?" Dumbledore nodded. "And my supposed best friend was the one to do this to me?" He nodded sadly again. Ron stood abruptly. "Why the hell would you do this to me, Harry? I thought you were my friend!"

"I was you friend, Ron. But I have come to realize that friends are what hold my life together. Without friends, my life would have ended years ago. When you hurt Hermione, that ended friendship we had formed over the years. I love Hermione. I trust her. I can't say the same for you."

Harry rose from his seat and walked through the door hearing Ron scream meaningless words behind him.

Ron was dead to him. And hopefully to Hermione. And Darcey. And anyone else for that matter.

***************************************************************************

Harry came back into the Room of Requirment to find Draco and Hermione studying. Alexis was huddled in a corner watching them.

Hermione and Draco were too caught up in their studying to notice that Harry had come in. He made his way over to Alexis.

"What have you been up to all day?" she asked him.

"Revenge on an ex best friend. You?" He asked her in return.

"Touring the castle," she replied.

Draco heard a soft hissing sound in the corner of the room.

"Oh, your back. How did things go?" he asked.

"It was pretty funny when he realized people couln't see his clothes. And so far I have not gotten in trouble."

"So far?" Hermione asked confusedly.

"I left before they could punish me." he replied smoothly.

"What are they saying?" Alexis hissed.

"Asking me how my day was." He told her. He picked her up and she hung loosely around his neck.

"Looks like you two are getting along." Draco smiled. He was right though. Over the past week he got to know Alexis really well and she became a really good friend.

Harry kissed him. Not in the usual passionate way, but light and quick. He didn't want Hermione to feel uncomfortable.

"Are you going to be okay, Hermione?" Harry asked.

"I'm still not sure what even happened." stated Hermione.

"I'm not sure for how long, but it turns out that Ron had four girlfriends, one for each house. Darcey Fate, Cho Chang, Hannah Abbot, and you. Draco and I found out and wanted revenge. But nothing that would be permanent. As we all know, Ron only cares about peoples image of him. That's why we devised a plot to ruin his image." Harry explained.

Harry needed sleep. This whole Ron situation was extreamely draining. "I'm going to bed." He said, mostly trying to rid himself of a crying Hermione. He loved her, he really did. But she is really annoying when she cries. Draco walked her to the door trying to comfort her. Once she was gone, Draco came to join Harry on the bed.

"You didn't have to be so rude, Harry. She just lost her boyfriend, whom she thought loved her, who she loved."

"He's a jack ass. She should realize that and get on with her life. It's that simple."

"I used to be a jack ass. Would you have had that point of view if this was us instead of Hermione and Ron?" Drcao frowned.

"Of course not."

"Why not? What's so different about it?"

"Well, you would never do that to me." Harry said, trying to avoid the question.

"Of course I wouldn't do that to you. But that's not what I asked. If I were cheating on you, would you be able to realize that I was just a jack ass and move on in less than a day?"

"Never. You are my life. If you cheated on me, I would be so crushed I would not be able to sleep or eat or do anything productive what so ever. I would die without you."

"Can you understand what Hermione is going through?"

"I hate it when you're right. I won't be so rude next time."

"Good boy." Draco smiled.

"I am not a dog, Draco." Harry pouted.

Draco's smirk grew. "We'll just see about that, Potter." Draco pinned Harry down on the bed. His lips covered the raven haired boy's. Their tongues battled, fighting for superiority. Draco could feel Harry's growing erection against his thigh. They both moaned. Draco, still on top, unbuttoned Harry's pants. He elegantly slid them off his legs with great ease. He fumbled slightly with his shirt, but in no time, managed to rid Harry of all the unwanted clothes.

"Take you clothes off." Harry demanded."

"I'm in charge tonight, Harry." Draco smirked evily before making Harry bark (figuartively, of course).

***************************************************************************

"Draco! Wait up!" Darcey screamed down the hall way.

Draco turned slightly, wondering who would be stupid enough to disrupt him. He saw Darcey trying to catch up to him.

"What do you want?" he asked her.

"I wanted to thank you for helping me with Ron. I'll make it up to you somehow, I promise." she said as she stared at the ground.

"It's no big deal. He needed a taste of reality. I'm just thankful everthing went to plan."

"He's an idiot. How could it not?" she blushed.

"Well I thank you just the same. If there is anything I can do for you, just say the word." It wasn't something he didn't really expect her to act upon. Just a nice gesture, nothing more.

"Darcey closed her eyes and sighed deeply. As if dreading something.

He knew what it was she had been dreading when he saw her lean towards him. There wasn't much he could do to stop her. It happened so fast, but before he knew it, he could feel warm lips pressed against his. He stood in shock for a while. Then he felt a tongue trying to penetrate his lips. That snapped him out of his trance. He swiftly took a step back. Turned around. And saw Harry not ten feet away.

He had tears in his eyes.

A/N: Sorry it took so long. I'm kind of having writer's block with the next chapter, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would like to point out to you that Darcey Fate is me. And I would like to say thank you to all my reviewers. I love you all.
