Chapter 5: Handcuffs, Hogsmead, and a Fight
"Potter!" Draco shouted. "Get your arse out of that bed!"
"I'm up, I'm up," Alexis muttered sleepily. "Keep your pants on."
If Draco wasn't so shocked at the fact that girl actually got out of bed before he had to drag her out of it, he would have said something back to her. He was still baffled when she walked out of the bathroom, towel drying her hair and pulling on one of her oh-so-famous leather outfits. She clipped her hair back, bangs just falling in her eyes.
"Why must you hide your eyes?" Draco asked then he rolled his eyes. "It must be a Potter thing."
She shrugged. "Ready to go to breakfast?" she asked the blond.
"Yes," he muttered. The two walked into the Great Hall and sat at the Slytherin table.
Alexis sighed and looked at the blond boy. It's been nearly a week since the detention, and that just succeeded in scaring the boys away from each other. Alexis looked at the Gryffindor table where Ron smiled at her. She smiled back and sighed softly thinking about how to get the two boys together and keep them together.
"Hey," Blaise said sitting next to the girl. "Are you alright?"
"Fine," Alexis said eating some toast. An owl flew up to her and dropped a parcel. She opened it and saw pictures of Harry in the outfit he was wearing last Saturday for the detention with Draco. Alexis grinned and mouthed a 'Thank you' to Ron. He nodded. "Never better," Alexis smirked at Blaise, who smirked back. "Oh, Dray, darling?"
Draco turned to look at Alexis who was smirking and holding sheets in her hand. "What?"
"I have some pictures for you that I managed to score from some of the Gryffies."
"What are you talking about?" Draco asked raising an eyebrow.
"These," Alexis flashed a few of them in front of Draco's face. Harry was leaning against the wall, tapping his foot, looking impatient in the ones she showed Draco. "Of course you don't want them, so I'll just sell them to; I don't know…Millicent and Pansy."
"NO!" Draco shouted causing, not only Alexis and Blaise to look at him, but the whole Slytherin table to look at him in shock. "I'll get rid of them."
"Really?" Alexis looked at Blaise, eyebrows raised, and handed the pictures over. Draco looked through them quickly and tucked them into his robes. "We have Charms now. Are you coming, Dray?"
Draco glared at the girl, but followed her out of the Great Hall anyways. Right when the Slytherin trio walked into the Entrance Hall, the Gryffindor trio arrived. Harry and Draco move as far apart as they could, no one saying a word.
"Great pics Raven," Alexis smiled walking towards class.
"Pictures? What pictures?" Harry asked running after her.
"The pictures of you in that outfit last weekend," Alexis smirked.
Harry sputtered. "What are you talking about? Where are they?"
"I don't have them anymore," Alexis told him walking. "Draco does."
"Why does he have them?" Harry jogged after her.
"He doesn't want anyone else to have them," She said simply. "Do you have a partner?"
Harry shook his head. "Why not?"
"What do you think?" Alexis asked him looking into his green eyes sitting down.
He sat across from her, mouth opening and closing with questions that wouldn't come out. At that moment Blaise sat next to Alexis and grinned at her as Draco sat next to Harry. The two boys avoided each other's gaze.
"Longbottom?"
"Uh…yes?" Neville asked quietly. He and Seamus walked over to the table.
"Switch partners?" Blaise asked. "You and Alexis?"
"Uh…sure…" Neville said glancing at Seamus who nodded at him. He sat next to the girl and looked at his hands.
"I thought we were partners!" Harry growled.
Alexis smirked. "Nope, you and Dray are."
Before Harry could say anything Professor Flitwick walked into the room.
"Good morning class," Professor Flitwick began. "Last time we were together we were discussing the charm 'latito amplexus'. Today we will be practicing that charm. With your partners, please."
"You can go first Longbottom," Alexis told him.
The boy nodded and muttered the charm and successfully pulled it off. "Your turn."
Alexis nodded and muttered 'ligatio amplexus' under her breath concentrating on Harry's and Draco's wrists. A shiny pair of handcuffs appeared around the boys' wrists and Alexis pretended to be shocked.
"Woops…" She said eyes wide. "I must've said it wrong."
"Well…at least it wasn't me," Neville said grinning, trying hard not to laugh. "And no one blew up."
"That's true," Alexis said smirking while the two boys struggled to get out of the handcuffs.
"Professor!" Draco yelled. "Damn it! Alexis what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything," Alexis pouted. "It was an accident. I mixed up the words to the charm. I'm sorry."
"You're sorry?" Harry snapped. "How are we supposed to get out of these?" Harry turned to face his friends. "Ronald Weasley and Seamus Finnigan, THIS ISN'T FUNNY!"
"Aye Harry, but it is!" Seamus was clutching his sides. "Alex, maybe you can teach us that Charm."
Blaise grinned. "Why Mr. Finnigan, I didn't know you were so kinky."
Seamus grinned at Blaise and Hermione gave Ron a 'don't even think about it' look.
"Miss Cadogan," Professor Flitwick sighed when he finally made his way over to the table. "You are to escort the boys to Professor Dumbledore and he shall set a fitting punishment for you."
"Wait!" Harry yelled. "How do we get out of this?"
"Oh, that's easy," Alexis said. "You have to fuck senseless."
"WHAT?" the two boys yelled together.
Alexis giggled looking at the shocked faces of many Gryffindors and Slytherins. "I was just kidding," She groaned. "You have to kiss."
Draco growled and Harry blushed. The two boys pulled the girl out of the room. "Why did you do this?"
"It was an accident!" Alexis growled. She headed to the headmaster's office.
"Like bloody hell, it was an accident!" Draco snarled. "If you don't tell me why you did this, I'll tell Marcus. And that's a promise."
"Malfoy," Harry began when he saw the look of fear on Alexis' face. "Don't do that."
"Potter, don't you even want to know why she handcuffed us together?" Draco glared.
"Yes, but threatening her isn't the way to go," Harry told him calmly.
"If ever the Gryffindor," Draco drawl feeling increasingly more irritated. "Then what is the way to go?"
"Lexie," Harry said softly, noticing the way she calmed whenever he called her that. "Tell me why you did this."
She rolled her eyes. "I already told you. It-was-an-accident." Hell, when you're going to lie, stick to it.
"Liar," Draco growled.
"Well, then tell me Dray," Alexis began. "Why would I chain you two together? I mean it isn't as if you two like each other or anything, is it?" With that she strode past the gargoyle and up the stairs to Dumbledore's office.
Harry groaned. "Do you two always fight?" He asked Draco, pulling him up the stairs.
"Sometimes," the blond muttered. "She actually reminds me of you most of the time."
Harry raised his eyebrows but didn't comment as they walked into the office where Dumbledore and Alexis were waiting.
"Welcome," Dumbledore smiled at the boys offering them lemon drops and chairs. Alexis was smirking looking at the boys. "Have a seat."
The boys took the two chairs next to each other and looked at the headmaster. "Professor, make her set us free."
"I told you, I can't," Alexis groaned. "The cuffs are charmed so that only a kiss can open them. And a real kiss, not a peck. It's just the way the charm works."
Dumbledore sat, looking at the trio in amusement. "Look here you old goat! I don't have time for this! Make her set us loose before I kill her!" Draco bellowed.
"You wouldn't do that," Alexis pouted. "Voldie wouldn't be happy with you then, would he?"
"I don't care what the fuckwit does to me," Draco snarled. "You are going to die if I don't get set free."
Alexis pouted. "Some friend you are," she sniffed. "Kiss then and you'll be set loose."
"I'm not kissing him!" Harry glared at the red head.
"Children," Professor Dumbledore said quietly. The three of them looked at the man. "Miss Cadogan, you are to take care of the boys until they are free from each other. They will stay in the room adjacent from yours, should they not be freed tonight. You will also accompany them in Hogsmead tomorrow."
"Yes sir," Alexis nodded her understanding.
"You may leave whenever you are ready," Dumbledore stated. "The three of you are excused from the rest of your classes for the day. You will forgive me for leaving, but I am expected at the Ministry soon." With that the man flooed out of the office.
"Well boys," Alexis began looking at them. "What do you want to do now?" Draco growled and Harry made a clicking noise in his throat. "Ok then," Alexis murmured pulling out her journal. "Let me know when you're ready to leave."
The boys started whispering between themselves, causing Alexis to look up at them. They had their heads bent close together and kept glancing up at the girl. She had the feeling that they were plotting her death, well that, or something equally horrible.
After a few hours the boys stood and stretched. 'Well, it's about fucking time,' Alexis thought to herself. She was getting tired of intercepting the boys' thoughts. 'His breath is so warm', 'His lips are so soft, what would he do if I'd kiss him?' and so on.
"We're going to lunch," Draco stated. "We're hungry."
"Well obviously," Alexis rolled her eyes. "If you're going to lunch I would think you were hungry." She turned to Harry. "Do you see what I have to put up with?"
Harry barely kept from cracking a grin and was pulled out of the office by Draco. The three of them walked into the Great Hall, causing everyone to look up.
The two boys tried to head to their respective tables and only succeeded in falling backwards. Alexis laughed and grinned at the two boys. "So which table is it?" Alexis wondered aloud. "The oh-so-brave and noble Gryffindors or the oh-so-sly and cunning Slytherins?"
"I'm not sitting with the Slytherins!" Harry shouted. "You're out of your bloody mind if you think that I would ever."
"Well I refuse to sit with the Gryffindors," Draco snarled. "I'd rather sit with the Hufflepuffs!"
"I can not believe those words came out of Draco Malfoy's mouth," Harry and Alexis said together laughing. The Hufflepuffs looked scared and squeaked.
"Since I have to sleep in the Slytherin dorms," Harry began seriously, eyes narrowing. "You two can eat at my table."
Alexis shrugged. "I got no problem with that." She heard the growl from Draco. "Oh, you know I live to piss you off." She smiled. "It's not the fucking end of the world, you know. If you would just kiss, the handcuffs would come right off, and then you could eat at which ever table you wanted to."
"I'm not kissing him!" both boys snarled.
Alexis threw her hands up in defeat. "Ok, fine, stay stuck together for the rest of your lives, what-the-fuck-ever! Just pick a damn table!"
Harry dragged Draco to the Gryffindor table and the two of them sat between Hermione and Seamus. Alexis sat across from them between Ron and Neville.
"The people in this school have problems," Alexis said firmly. "Must we stare?" She grinned at Harry and Draco in amusement and started eating. "I thought you two were hungry."
The boys growled and Hermione shot Alexis a look. Alexis smiled and ate some more.
"I can't believe you did that!" Ron whispered with a grin on his face.
"Yes you can," Alexis whispered back and then raised her voice slightly so Hermione could hear her. "If Granger ever changes her mind, I'll tell you that charm."
Hermione blushed and started eating. Next to her Harry was licking his lips and picking at his food. Draco was eating looking at Alexis with eyes narrowed.
"Aren't you eating any more?" Draco asked her softly causing the nearby Gryffies to look at her.
"No," she shook her head. "I'm full."
"But you hardly ate!" Draco growled. "You're anorexic."
"I am not!" Alexis snarled. "It's not my fault that I can't eat any more than this."
"Why isn't it your fault?"
"Draco, you fucker," Alexis resisted the urge to hit him. "It's not my fault I've never had a decent meal my entire life. So you can shut your ugly face before I shut it for you!"
"Who are you calling ugly Po-er, Cadogan?"
"Look here Malfoy!"
"Merlin!" Draco shouted. "You and Potter need to eat more and you need to shut your mouth!"
Alexis grinned suddenly. "Since when did you care what Raven ate, Malfoy?"
Most of the hall looked at Draco expectantly. "I, er, don't!" Draco snarled. "Shut it woman!"
"You lost Malfoy," Alexis grinned. "This has everything to do about Raven and nothing to do about me."
"It has everything to do with you!" Draco said soothingly.
"Both of you shut up," Harry said rubbing his temples.
"Awes!!! Look Dray, darling," Alexis smirked. "Har-bear has a headache, aren't you going to kiss it away?"
Harry growl. "Look here woman," Harry began. "I don't now or ever want Dra-Malfoy kissing anything away!"
Alexis fell over in laughter. "Oh, man," Alexis sighed. "Then you're stuck together for life."
The boys growled while Ron, Hermione, and Seamus stifled their laughter.
"We've got Quidditch practice," Harry announced suddenly. "How the bloody hell am I supposed to practice with you chained to my arm?"
"I don't know!" Draco barked. "Why don't you ask the bloody genius who chained us together in the first place?"
"Look, I said I was fucking sorry," Alexis snapped as the Gryffindors looked at her. "Why don't you just have Dray ride your broomstick with you?"
Harry looked like he was considering it. "No," he shook his head.
"If you have to practice you'll do what you need to do," Alexis pointed out.
Ron looked thoughtful. "We're practicing for the game against Ravenclaw. So technically you could practice with Malfoy sitting on your, er, broom."
Seamus giggled at the sexual innuendo that neither Draco nor Harry got. "Well," Harry looked uncomfortable. "Is that, er, ok with you?"
Alexis looked at Draco. 'Riding Harry's broomstick!? That's not the broomstick I want to be riding, though…well, it's better than nothing.' Alexis giggled and Draco glanced at her. His eyes widened, "If you say anything, I will kill you!"
"Say what?" Harry asked.
Alexis opened her mouth. "Shut it woman!" Draco snarled.
"Oh come on!" Alexis groaned. "I wasn't going to say anything, well at least not to Raven." She turned and whispered what she heard into Ron's ear and he bit his lip to keep from laughing.
"I'm going to kill you!" Draco glared at the girl.
"No you won't!" Alexis smirked. "Well…are you?"
"I suppose so," Draco drawled. "Let's get this over with, Potty."
"Will do Ferret," Harry stood, along with Draco, Alexis, and the rest of the Gryffindor team.
"Where are we going?" Draco asked being dragged to the changing rooms.
"We have to change Malfoy," Harry said gently. "Cadogan, how the bloody hell am I supposed to change with these handcuffs?"
Alexis helped him take off his robes and shirt and walked up the bleachers to find a spot to sit. (Like that was hard…)
"Get on Malfoy!" Harry shouted. Alexis saw the glare Draco sent him and climbed on behind the Gryffindor.
They kicked off the ground and Alexis saw the way Draco clung to Harry and the way Harry smiled when Draco's grip tightened. Alexis watched the way the Gryffindor team worked together and helped each other out. She noticed how natural Harry looked when he flew and suddenly got the urge to fly. She shook her head fiercely to rid herself of those thoughts.
Alexis sat there kicking the air while she waited for practice to end.
"Hello," Seamus said sitting next to her.
"Hi," she replied yawning.
"Are you alright?" Seamus asked her softly.
"Fine…" she glanced at Seamus. "Why does everyone ask me that?"
He shrugged. "You just looked, well…"
"Well what? Bored?" Alexis rolled her eyes. "That would be because I am."
"Why don't you go flying?" Seamus asked suddenly. Alexis rolled her eyes and began walking down to the ground. "Hey! Alex, I'm serious!"
"I know you are," she replied quietly.
"POTTER! IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN I WILL HEX YOUR ARSE TO THE BLOODY MOON AND BACK!" Draco's voice rang out.
The Gryffindor team was on their broomsticks laughing hysterically and Harry was on the ground grinning widely with Draco scowling at him. "Chill Malfoy," Harry smiled widely. "I always have control of my broomstick."
"Really now, Potter?" Malfoy cracked a grin. "We'll have to see about that."
Alexis made a face and walked up to the boys. "Are we done here?"
Harry nodded as the Gryffindor team landed behind him.
"That was quite a show Harry," Ron said still laughing. "You nearly killed Malfoy."
"Watch it Weasley," Draco muttered. "Don't touch me Potter! You're all gross."
"That's what happens when you actually play, Malfoy," Harry turned to the team. "Good work team! Hit the showers and go eat dinner."
"Showers!?" Malfoy groaned. "There's no way you are going to shower with me chained to you! ALEXIS I'LL BLOODY KILL YOU!"
Alexis never heard the threat and was laughing along with Ron and Seamus. The rest of the team bit their lips to keep from laughing.
"Do you want me to spend the entire time we're chained together smelling and sticky?" Harry asked impatiently. "I for one think you should shower too. I do not want to spend time with a ferret that smells like shit."
"Well if I smell, it's entirely your fault," Draco held his head high. "Malfoys never smell."
"You must mean every Malfoy except you," Harry laughed. "Because you stink!"
"You just want to get me naked," Draco said smirking. "You could've just asked."
"You are off your bloody rocker," Harry shook his head and walked into the changing rooms, dragging Draco with him.
Draco swallowed as he watched Harry strip indifferently, not paying any attention to Draco. When he had to take off his shirt, the handcuffs stopped his hand from taking it off. Harry was frustrated as he tried again and again to take his shirt off.
"Potter, stop that!" Draco yelled. "You're hurting my wrist!"
"Then help me!" Harry shouted. "I can't take my bloody shirt off!"
Draco grudgingly helped Harry struggle with his shirt. Finally the two boys got the shirts off themselves. Draco bit his lip and looked Harry up and down, hoping he didn't notice. The gleam of Harry's nipple ring caught Draco's attention. His hand was lingering close to Harry's nipple ring, and it was shaking badly from suppressing the urge to touch it.
"Er...Malfoy?" Harry asked, noticing the shaking hand. "...What's wrong?"
"N-nothing," Draco stammered, his hand still shaking violently.
"Is there...something wrong with your hand?" Harry asked, concerned.
"N-no," Draco stuttered.
"If you're sure," Harry replied.
Beads of sweat were forming on Draco's forehead, and he let out a whimper when his hand was unconsciously moving towards Harry's nipple ring when Harry was taking some towels from his locker. Draco had to use his other hand to yank it back, causing Harry to drop the towels.
"Malfoy!" Harry exclaimed. "What's wrong with your hand?! Do you have no control over it?"
Draco nodded, and then scowled and shook his head. You're the one that's making me lose control, he thought hotly.
"Malfoy, are you going to strip or not?" Harry asked suddenly. "Showering in your trousers isn't the most efficient way of cleaning yourself."
Draco nodded dumbly, still holding onto his hand. He was staring at Harry's nipple ring.
"...Malfoy?" Harry asked, using his free hand to wave it in front of his face. "Malfoy?!"
Draco blinked and looked up. "What?" he asked irritably.
Harry sighed in exasperation. "I asked you if you're going to strip or not! Showering in your trousers isn't the most efficient way of cleaning yourself."
"Oh," Draco said.
"Well?" Harry tapped his foot impatiently.
"Fine, fine," Draco mumbled. "Keep your pants, er, off."
Harry growled and watched Draco strip down to his birthday suit. The growl turned into a suppressed groan before Harry shook his head.
"Why Malfoy," Harry smirked. "I never knew you were so, tiny."
"I AM NOT TINY!" Draco shouted, face turning red.
"Relax," Harry rolled his eyes. "Who knew Draco Malfoy didn't have a sense of humor?"
The two boys walked into the showers. "It's good to know that you're not over compensating for other things," Draco muttered, sounding sarcastic but truly meaning every word he said.
"Same goes for you Tiny," Harry laughed softly. Draco sent him a death glare. "Malfoy, you should lighten up. I was just joking."
He growled. "You sound just like your-" Draco cut himself off and started scrubbing himself down.
"Sound like my what?" Harry wondered aloud washing the suds out of his hair.
"Never mind," Draco muttered. "You missed a spot."
"What?"
"On your back," Draco pointed out. "You missed a spot."
"Want to scrub me down?" Harry asked with a sexy half smile.
Draco rolled his eyes. "Now Potter, why would I want to do that?"
"I'll scrub you down, if you scrub me," Harry said softly.
Draco blushed and turned Harry around quickly so he wouldn't see it. Draco took a cloth and rubbed Harry's beck tenderly and unsuccessfully tried to think of Greg and Vince in speedos. A creepy thought, if you asked anyone.
"You're done," Draco muttered while Harry turned him around to return the favor.
"Alright, we're done!" Harry said sounding restricted. "Let's get our arses out of here."
Draco couldn't agree more. As the two boys headed out of the shower, Harry slipped on a bar of soap.
"Oh shit!" Harry muttered when he hit the ground. Draco, who was unprepared, fell on top of Harry. Draco's eyes were wide with surprise, looking into wide green eyes.
Neither boy moved, obviously wanting the contact and too afraid to do anything about it. Draco felt the cool metal of Harry's nipple ring against his chest and suppressed a moan at feeling Harry's body beneath him.
"Oh, Merlin!" the boys heard a voice behind them. "Shit! I'm going to leave now. You guys can, er, go back to whatever it is that you're doing."
Harry glanced past the blond and noticed Ron leaving shaking with laughter. "Get off me!"
"You're the one that bloody fell!" Draco struggled to stand. "It's not my fault."
"Whatever," Harry muttered towel drying himself with a sideways glance at Draco, who was shaking his head and doing the same.
The two boys quickly dressed and struggled with their shirts and robes. Eventually the boys walked out fully clothed. Ron and Seamus were sitting on the ground laughing and Alexis was grinning shaking her head slightly.
"Uh…boys?" the two boys looked at Alexis. Her grin widened. "Did you realize that you are wearing each others' robes?"
Harry and Draco looked at the robes they were wearing. Draco was in one that had the Gryffindor emblem and Harry was in one that had the Slytherin emblem. The two boys groaned loudly.
"No point in changing," Alexis smiled. "It'll take forever."
"I will kill you Lex," Draco muttered at the girl.
She smiled innocently. "Ready for your dramatic entrance into the Great Hall?"
Harry rolled his eyes. "I'm starving."
"I'm sure after your long, hard practice and your hot and steamy shower," Alexis chuckled. "Anyone would be starving then."
Draco growled and tried to snatch her. She jumped behind the other two boys that were overcoming their laughter. They grinned at each other. "You guys were in there for an awful long time," Ron said. "Everyone else already left for the Great Hall."
"Well you try to shower chained to someone," Harry snapped walking to the school with an equally pissed off Draco.
"Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it," Alexis smirked jogging after the boys.
Harry growled. "Why am I friends with you again?" Draco barked, eyes narrowing dangerously. "You are seriously pissing me off woman."
"You love it," Alexis trotted along side of the boys. They walked into the Great Hall and Harry dragged Draco to the Gryffindor table.
"Potter!" Draco whined. "We ate here during lunch."
"So what?" Harry sat down next to Ron. Seamus sat on the other side of Draco. "I already told you, I'm not eating with the Slytherins."
Draco growled as Hermione spoke up, "Uh, Cadogan, sit next to me."
Alexis looked at her in shock and shrugged. "Ok." She plopped down next to her and helped herself to a plate. Alexis looked at the two boys in front of her. They were ignoring each other, sneaking glances at the other when they thought no one was watching. Alexis snickered.
Hermione bent close to Alexis. "Uh, can I ask you something?"
"Go for it," Alexis nodded grinning at Ron, who looked surprised.
"Teach me that spell," Hermione whispered so that no one else could hear.
"Are you serious?" Alexis glance at Hermione who grinned and nodded. "Alright," she dropped her voice. "Point your wand and concentrate on the wrists you want to cuff and mutter 'ligatio amplexus'. They only come off with a kiss."
Hermione nodded and the two girls flashed Ron a grin. "What are you plotting?"
Alexis' eyes widened. "Nothing! Do I ever plot against people?"
Ron rolled his eyes. "I know you," he muttered. "I don't think Fred and George could keep up with you."
Alexis' eyes lit up and she smiled. "Really?" she sighed.
Draco gagged. "How could you like a Weasel?"
"Hey!" Dean, Hermione, and Alexis said together.
"Draco Malfoy," Alexis held her chin up high. "Red heads are sexy, surely you know that." Everyone grinned at the look on Draco's face. "And besides, they're twins!"
"So?" Draco asked.
"Twins!" Alexis groaned grinning. "Twins are sexy. You can't deny that, can you?" Without waiting for an answer she continued. "Everyone wants twins!"
"Lex, I didn't know you were like that," Draco smirked.
"Well, you are too, Malfoy," Ron pointed out. Draco blushed.
"Oh, really Malfoy?" Harry looked interested. "Do tell. You've dated twins?"
"Not exactly, no," Draco shook his head, then his head snapped in Harry's direction. "Stay out of my business!"
Alexis grinned and looked at Ron, who was shaking with laughter.
Harry put on a pout. "Now Draco," he purred, looking and sounding sexy. "You can tell me."
"You scare me," Draco shuddered. "You remind me of Lex."
Alexis grinned. "He's just keeping it real Dray." She flashed Harry a smile. "Besides, it wasn't as if you were interested in the girl romantically anyways, was it? You are more into her brother."
Draco turned red and flashed Alexis a look. "Shut it! That's not true."
"Draco Malfoy, gay?" Dean asked grinning.
"Shut it Mud-" Draco stopped short after getting sent a look from Alexis. "Thomas. I'm not gay."
Seamus nodded. "He's bisexual."
"WHAT?" Dean and Ginny said together. "Draco Malfoy's bi-"
"Of course he is," Alexis cut in. "He's a sex God, so why deprive half the world of himself?" She rolled her eyes, but no one noticed.
"Really?" Harry raised his eyebrows. "And what's this boy's name?"
'Oh, Merlin! Make me stop talking, I don't want to know. Damn you Malfoy for getting me-'
Alexis' eyes flew open and she covered her ears. "Oh, God, Oh, Merlin! Help me keep my sanity!"
The Gryffindors looked at her like she was nuts. She smiled sheepishly and received sympathetic glances from Ron and Draco.
'What?' they both mouthed to her.
"Anyways," Alexis just decided to ignore the whole thing. "So Draco what is his name?" with that she glanced at Harry who was playing with his hands.
"Hi-his name?" Draco choked. "There's no him."
"Yes there is," Alexis stated giving Draco a challenging look.
"Even if there was," Draco began. "It wouldn't matter. There could never be an us." Draco stood up quickly. "Come on Potter. I need to think and I can't think around Alexis."
"But-"
He cut her off. "I know what you're going to say. And it's pointless to even bring it up. He doesn't like me any more than he has since I've known him. Just drop it, besides, he's not even gay, let alone bi."
"You don't know that," Alexis started, but Harry and Draco were already walking away. Alexis punched the table and put her face in her hands. "Damn it!"
"Uh…what's happening?" Hermione whispered standing. The table was shaking.
"Alexis!" Ron shouted.
"Oh, shit!" Alexis fell backwards and the shaking subsided. She shook her head. "Is Harry gay?"
"What?"
"Harry, is he gay?" Alexis was looking up at a group of confused Gryffindors. "Because Draco's in love with him."
Many of their mouths dropped open. "You're the one that told me he was gay," Seamus said. "He told us he fancies Malfoy."
The Gryffindors were staring at Alexis in shock. "What?" She snapped, clearly annoyed. She stood up and brushed herself off. She headed out of the Great Hall with many angry Gryffindors coming after her. She was soon surrounded. "Can I help you?" Alexis growled eyes narrowed.
"What the hell is your problem?" Ginny asked.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" She snapped at the younger girl.
"You," Ginny glared at the girl. "You come in here and everything changes. Slytherin dating a Gryffindor, Parkinson backed off Malfoy and is with one of the lard twins, and now Harry's gay? And Malfoy's bi?"
"Draco was always bi," Alexis told the Gryffindor. "And Potter was always gay. How the fuck do you think he got over that chick so quickly?"
The Gryffindors looked at each other. "You Little Red," Alexis began. "Are just mad because the Boy-Who-Lived is gay."
"I'm not!"
"Then why the fuck don't you want him to be happy?"
"How the bloody hell do you know he even likes Malfoy?" The girl snapped.
"Harry did tell us, Gin," Hermione said softly.
"Look I don't have time for your little games," Alexis muttered. With that Alexis turned to Colin. "You're a Creevy, right?"
The boy nodded slowly. "Why?"
"I need to borrow your camera," Alexis said. "I promise you that you'll get it back tonight."
Colin looked at Ron who nodded and handed over his camera. Alexis took it with a nod and headed down to her room. She put the camera in a drawer and walked into the bathroom. The door leading to the room where the boys were staying in that night was cracked opened. Alexis leaned closer and heard the boys talking.
"Malfoy," Harry's voice rang out. "She's your best friend. She's just trying to help."
"I know that Potter," Draco sighed. "I don't deserve her help."
"Why not?"
"I haven't been the greatest friend, alright? I ignored her when she needed me most all because of some stupid crush," Draco's voice was quiet. "Now she's actually back in my life, seemingly forgiven me, and trying to get me with the one person I can't have, but want more than anything."
"Who's that?" Harry asked quietly looking at Draco, eyes begging him to continue.
"You," Draco's voice cracked as Alexis fell in the room. Harry wasn't sure if he heard him right and didn't say anything.
"Damn it! Stupid door! I can't believe I did that! Dang it!" She kept ranting walking out the door.
"What did you say?" Harry asked softly.
"Forget it."
"No come on," Harry groaned. "Tell me."
"Why? Do you actually care?" Draco stood.
"More than you'll ever know," Harry whispered so quietly Draco wasn't even sure if he heard him.
"What did you say?" Draco looked at Harry.
Harry shook his head. "You deserve to know if this person feels anything for you. That person deserves to know that you care."
"You don't understand," Draco looked sad. "One decision I make, the most important decision I'll ever make, will either kill him or kill me."
"What?" Harry's eye's widened.
"It's my destiny," Draco went on. "My prophecy. Either I will die, or he will die."
"That's not true you dumbass!" Alexis' voice rang out. "Shit…I should keep my mouth shut."
"Alexis you prude," Draco yelled. "If you're going to eavesdrop you might as well get in here!"
"I'm not a prude," Alexis huffed, hands on her hips. She walked in the room.
"What were you saying?" Harry asked the girl. "And how do you know that?"
"I know that because my prophecy and Dray's prophecies are the same. Our destinies are different, but our paths begin together," Alexis told him sitting in a chair. "It's like you and Voldie, your destinies are different but they begin the same. You will either kill him or die from him. In our prophecy I will die along with Draco's love should he choose one way, should he choose the other, I will save both." She left out the part about her dying.
"How will you do that?"
"That's something we all have to wait and see."
"Wouldn't he choose love?" Harry asked.
"He has to choose between his father and true love," Alexis stated simply. "It's not the easiest choice in the world. Love or family. But I've seen it, I know how he chooses."
"How?" Both boys asked.
"I can't tell you that," Alexis said softly. "He needs to choose it on his own and not choose it because he was told he would."
"I suppose that makes sense…" Harry's voice trailed off.
"Raven? Knowing all this would you want Draco to tell you he loves you? Hypothetically, of course," she added hastily after getting sent a glare from the blond.
"Yes," Harry didn't even hesitate. "I would want the chance to be loved, and to love in return. You only get so many chances in life, why waste them thinking about what might happen. Just being together for a short time is better then not at all." He paused. "I've lost so much. I couldn't possibly take any chance I'd get with the person I love for granted, and you shouldn't either."
Draco looked at Alexis. 'I know what choice I'll make. Harry over my father…'
Alexis gave him a small smile. "You'll do what ever you believe you should." She stood to leave. "I'm going to take a shower. It's been a rough day. Call me if you need me."
The boys watched her walk out of the room and shut the door behind her. "You know?" Harry began breaking the silence. "You aren't at all like I thought you were."
"Really?" Draco didn't know if he sounded hopeful or sarcastic or whatever, but he wanted desperately to know what Harry thought. "How so?"
"I always thought you were this spoiled evil little git," Harry smiled at the scowl on Draco's face. "But you are actually quite…nice," Harry said finally after having a loss of words.
"Thank you," Draco said quietly. "I suppose…"
"No problem. Does Alexis have a cat?" Harry asked quietly.
"You mean Padfoot?" Draco asked. Harry nodded slowly. "Yeah…a beauty, that cat is. Why do you care?"
"I haven't seen her in a while," Harry shrugged. "She followed me one day, got into the Gryffindor Tower."
Draco's eyes narrowed. "Oh, really now? What did she do?"
"Nothing," Harry said honestly. "She just curled up in Ron's lap. I don't think she wanted to sit next to me because of 'Mione."
"That could be," Draco grinned to himself. 'Harry could be so clueless sometimes…but that's why you love him isn't it?' "Padfoot is a special cat."
"How so?"
"She feels her Master's emotions, feelings, likes, dislikes," Draco smiled. "It's very possible that because Alexis trusts Weasley and her and Granger don't get along, that Padfoot felt the same way."
Harry nodded. "Do you think that Alexis will let Padfoot visit tonight?"
"Don't see why not," Draco shrugged. "ALEXIS! GET YOUR ARSE IN HERE!"
Alexis walked in wearing green and silver pajamas and towel drying her hair. "What do you want?"
"Potter here has been asking about Padfoot," Draco was grinning cheekily. "Can she come and play?"
"I suppose so…" Alexis said. "I'm going for a walk…she'll be in soon. She won't be wearing her collar though. She hates that thing." Alexis walked out of the room and quickly transfigured into Padfoot.
"Hey there," Harry whispered from the floor. One of his arms were on the bed behind him because Draco was apparently sleeping. For a long time Harry just sat there, petting the cat in his lap.
"He's in love you know," Harry whispered into the darkness. "Any idiot can see it. And it's too bad I love him, isn't it?" Harry sighed and looked at the cat. "He's so beautiful, so everything and he doesn't even know it. Oh, sure, he acts all cocky, but he doesn't believe it. He feels so guilty about everything that has happened to Alexis. I know…I can see it in his eyes. Whatever his reason for abandoning her is, it's not what he told me." Harry's head lay on the bed behind him. "Draco and I are so very much alike. He carries the hurt around like I do. And no one should hurt like that, not ever. I want him to be happy, and if it's not with me, then I'll have to make sure this other man can make him happy." Harry sighed softly. "Good night Padfoot." Harry crawled into bed with Draco and fell to sleep rather quickly.
The cat walked back into the adjacent room and transfigured back into her human self. Alexis sighed and looked into the mirror. "Those two are so oblivious to the fact that they belong together."
Alexis paced her room for a long while before retrieving the camera she had borrowed from Colin. She walked quietly into the boys room. The hands that were chained together were holding each other, resting on Harry's chest. Draco's head was also on the boy's chest rising and falling with every breath. Harry's other arm was wrapped around Draco, protecting him in a way.
Alexis smiled and took a dozen pictures. 'They are so fucking cute together, and they don't even realize it.' With that she walked out of the room and out her door into the hall. She walked up to the Gryffindor Tower, thankfully not running into Filch or that cat, and knocked.
The fat lady looked upset at the Slytherin standing there, but Alexis took no notice.
"Come on! Open up!" Alexis slumped down onto the ground. Harry and Draco were to damn stubborn for their own good.
"Alex, what are you doing here?" Seamus asked with Blaise behind him.
"I need to talk to Creevy," Alexis told him. "The older one. I'm returning his camera and I need another favor."
Seamus looked around and sighed. "Alright, come in. But don't cause trouble."
"I'll stand by the exit," Alexis promised. She followed the boys into the Common Room and Seamus went to get Colin. The Gryffindors that were still awake, eyed her with suspicion.
"Yes?" Colin came up to her.
"Here's your camera," Alexis told him. "But I need one more thing from you."
"What?"
"I need you to develop that film," She said quickly. "You'll understand why when you see the pictures. Then I need them owled to me as soon as you can."
Colin sighed. "I can get them to you at breakfast."
"That would be excellent!" Alexis nearly hugged him. "See you around." With that she turned and walked out of the door.
She walked to her room and fell fast asleep. In the next room the boys were sleeping peacefully, limbs tangled together.
Soon Harry woke up. 'Oh shit,' he thought to himself feeling Draco's head on his chest. 'Don't wake up, please, don't wake up!' Harry was terrified at the thought of Draco waking up in a bad mood because they'd been cuddling. Of course, he'd probably wake up in a bad mood anyways…
Harry carefully moved from under Draco's head and let go of his hand. When Harry moved his legs Draco woke up.
"What the bloody hell?"
"Get up, Malfoy," Harry muttered. "I have got to take a wiz."
Draco groaned at followed the boy to the bathroom, having to go himself. After the two boys washed their hands they walked into Alexis' room.
"Alexis get up!" Draco said loudly.
"Good morning sunshine!" Alexis grinned happily, climbing out of bed.
Draco stumbled backwards and would've fallen over if Harry hadn't steadied him. "Who are you and what have you done with Alexis?"
She hit him playfully, noticing that he was still in Harry's arms, and smiled. "I'm in a good mood Dray," Alexis' grin grew. "Who in their right mind wouldn't be after getting waken up by the two hottest guys in school?"
Harry's mouth dropped open. "What?"
"Oh, well according to all the girls I've ever talked to you and Draco are the hottest guys in school," Alexis told him. "I'm going to shower, be back in a few."
"Hold me!" Draco whimpered. Draco pouted and looked scared.
Harry looked at the boy he was holding and laughed. "Your face!" Harry doubled over in laughter.
"You'd be scared too Potter," Draco began. "If you knew Alexis any better."
"Whatever Malfoy," Harry was struggling to overcome his laughter. "Your face!"
"Stop it Potter!" Malfoy muttered. Harry laughed harder and Malfoy tackled him onto the bed.
The two boys wrestled each other and Alexis watched in amusement getting dressed. Neither boy noticed her standing at the edge of the bed.
"Get off me Malfoy!" Harry yelled from under Draco. He had Harry pinned to the bed.
"Well that answers the question of who's the dominate one," Alexis smirked. "But if you two are going to get your freak on, please don't do it on my bed."
"We are not getting our-" Draco was cut off when Harry spun him around, so that Harry were on the top and Draco was on the bottom.
"Who's the dominate one now?" Harry raised his eyebrows and smirked.
"It's time for breakfast gentlemen," Alexis grinned with her arms folded across her chest. "You got to get dressed, Raven."
"Then we have to go to the Tower."
"No we do not!" Draco snarled.
"I don't think you are in any position to say anything," Harry told him looking at the boy he had pinned. "And don't snarl like that…It's not attractive."
"Harry Potter thinks I, Draco Malfoy," Draco took a dramatic pose. "Is attractive?"
Harry scowled at the boy as Draco flipped him around. "We can play this game all day Malfoy, but I want some breakfast."
Alexis giggled and shook her head. "Here," Alexis said pulling out some green leather pants and a silver tee. "Engorgio!" Her clothes grew so that the shirt would just fit Harry, hugging him in the right areas, and the pants were baggy enough for him to be more comfortable then the last pair of leather pants he was in.
Harry's eyes narrowed. "You were responsible for that outfit, weren't you?"
Alexis grinned. "I merely suggested the outfit, your friends were responsible for getting you to wear it," Alexis grinned. "Although, Dray did come back looking rather uncomfortable and he did spend an awful long time in my bathroom." Alexis smirked at blushing Draco. "Anyways…I'll step out for a minute so you can change, Draco I'll get your clothes."
With that Alexis walked out her room into the Common room. Draco sat amused, color returning to his face, looking at Harry. "Well, aren't you going to change?"
"Not with you staring at me," Harry muttered.
"I've seen your goods," Draco rolled his eyes. "Just bloody change!"
Harry sighed in defeat and changed into the outfit. He shifted uncomfortably under Draco's gaze when he finally finished. "I look stupid."
"No, you really don't," Draco murmured. 'Bloody hell, what in Merlin's name am I doing?' "You look," Draco cleared his throat. 'Perfect.' "…Fine."
"Just fine?" Harry's eyes narrowed. Then to Draco's surprise, Harry started to laugh. "Look at me. I actually sound like I care what I wear!"
At that moment Alexis walked in with Draco's clothes. Draco was staring at Harry, while the raven-haired boy was laughing to himself.
"What did I miss?" Alexis asked Draco, handing him his outfit for the day.
"Just Potter acting like a girl," Draco grinned as Harry punched his arm. "Kinky Potter, I had no idea you were into pain."
"I'm into other things as well," Harry whispered seductively.
Alexis made a face and Draco dropped his clothes. "I got to get dressed…"
Draco got dressed quickly and brushed his hair. As he reached for the gel, Alexis ripped it out of his hands. "Don't even think about it!"
"Why not?" Draco growled.
"You'll use it all up," Alexis muttered. "Besides you look better with your hair natural like that. Doesn't he Raven?"
"Actually yes," Harry said smirking. Draco made him sit. "What?"
"If I'm going to be spending any more time with you we have to do something with your hair," Draco began brushing his hair. He put some of Alexis' gel on his head and spiked up his hair. "There. We can go."
Harry looked stunned and saw Alexis smirking at him pulling her hair back into a ponytail. Her bangs fell into her eyes, and Harry was vaguely reminded of someone. Harry shook his head and stood. "Lets go."
The three walked to the Great Hall and Draco sighed, not bothering to argue, and headed over to the Gryffindor table. Harry looked at him in shock as they sat at the table.
"What?" Draco smiled. "One of us have to be the bigger man."
"Yes," Harry nodded in agreement. "And you are defiantly a big man."
Alexis snorted and spit her pumpkin juice all over Ginny. Ginny's eyes narrowed. "You Slytherin scum!"
"…Sorry?" Alexis suppressed a grin.
Ginny grabbed a handful of eggs and threw it at Alexis. She ducked and it hit a Ravenclaw behind them. The Ravenclaw charmed syrup to fly across the room and it hit a Slytherin. Alexis and Ginny crawled under the table with Ron, Dean, Seamus, Hermione, Draco, and Harry.
Alexis was giggling as food was landing on the floor. It appeared that Alexis had accidentally started a school wide food fight. "I didn't mean to Little Red," Alexis said sincerely. "It really was an accident."
"Ah, it's ok, I suppose," Ginny glanced at Dean. "I'm sticky now."
Hermione sighed and muttered a cleaning spell. "Harry what are you wearing?"
Harry shrugged as everyone under the table looked at him. "Harry, you're wearing Slytherin colors!" Dean gasped.
"What can I say Thomas," Draco smirked. "I made Potter, here, a man last night."
"Really?" Everyone sounded shocked.
Alexis raised her eyebrows. "Don't be stupid," She grinned as an owl flew up to her. She removed the parcel and looked at the pictures. She grinned widely. "Excellent!" Every picture was of the two boys cuddling. It was rather sweet.
There was a letter attached. "What have you got there Alex?" Seamus asked crawling over with Ron. She handed them the pictures and read the letter quickly. She heard Seamus and Ron "Awe" softly.
"What is it?" Draco asked. "Tell me, damn you."
"Chill man! Keep your pants on," Alexis rolled her eyes and handed Draco and Harry some pictures. "Aren't you two the cutest?"
Harry swallowed. "When did you take these?"
"Last night."
"Miss Cadogan!" The students turned to see Professor McGonagall standing there. "Get out here right now!"
"I think I'm in trouble, again," Alexis grinned crawling out from under the table.
"Miss Cadogan," the professor began. "I have never before seen anyone cause as much trouble as you have."
"But-"
"You are so much like that father of yours," the professor continued. "He and his friends have never once caused as much trouble as you have this year. Even the Weasley twins weren't as troublesome as you!"
"Really?" Alexis shook her head. "Professor, I swear, this time I had nothing to do with it! It was a total accident!"
Surprisingly Ginny came to her rescue. "It was my fault Professor. I got mad and threw the eggs. I'm sorry."
"Minerva," the Headmaster suddenly arrived. "You know very well that her father would be pleased with her." He chuckled softly eyes twinkling. The rest of the sheltered people came out. "Let them be children, it seems that you even joined in when Severus hit you with the eggs." McGonagall blushed. "I know that you are all going to Hogsmead today," Dumbledore smiled. "I suggest you go get a carriage before they leave."
Without hesitation the group walked out to find two carriages left. The group split and soon they arrived in Hogsmead.
"You'll be alright with the Slytherins, Harry?" Hermione asked him seriously as Dean and Ginny walked off.
"Fine," Harry nodded smiling. Alexis bit her lip softly. "You two have fun."
"Well Harry I'd stay," Seamus grinned. "But I am meeting Blaise in the Three Broomsticks. Have fun!"
The three of them watched as Hermione, Ron, and Seamus walked away. Alexis turned to the boys. "Well…what should we do?"
"Whatever," Harry and Draco muttered.
"Let's go to the Tattoo Parlor!" Alexis said sounding excited. "I want to look at the tattoos."
"Fine…" Draco grumbled following Alexis. "Does Hogsmead even have a tattoo parlor?"
"And you call yourself a Slytherin," Harry grinned. "The parlor is just past Hogs Head."
"How do you know that?" Draco wondered.
"I got my nipple pierced there," Harry said a pointedly. Harry's face broke into a grin when they walked into the parlor. "Malfoy, I dare you to get your naval pierced!"
"What?"
"Your belly button," Harry rolled his eyes. "I dare you."
"Well," Draco looked at him carefully as Alexis was looking at the tattoos. "What do I get in return?"
"What do you want?"
Draco glanced at the tattoos. "I dare you to get that tattoo," Draco pointed to a dragon.
Harry raised his eyebrows. "Alright, where?"
"Right under your belly button."
"Alright," Harry said. "You got a deal. After you, Malfoy."
Draco told the lady what he wanted and sat in the chair as she prepared him. Soon he was able to get up. "You'll be able to change the stud in a few hours," the lady told him. Harry knew that the first stud had some sort of healing potion on it that allowed the hole to heal faster than the Muggle way.
"Your up Potter," Draco smirked as Harry sat down and told the lady what he wanted done.
Draco watched Harry unzip his pants and pull them down a bit. He watched as the lady carefully as she started the Dragon tattoo. One of her hands moved lower and Draco felt a surge of jealousy and protectiveness over Harry and growled softly. Harry gave a soft yelp as the lady's hand went lower and brushed him. He felt her hands brushing against his inner thigh. He had to fight the urge to push her hands away. He suddenly felt himself starting to get uneasy when he saw her lick her lips.
Draco was a little too occupied at the time, plotting about how to murder that bitch. First, he would chop off her hands, so she wouldn't be able to touch Harry ever again. Then, he would cut her tongue off, so she wouldn't lick her lips at him. Draco watched with narrowed eyes as she started caressing the skin below Harry's belly button. Soon Draco had, had enough. "Are you done yet?" He growled.
"Yes, you may go now," she replied bitterly, eyes narrowing at Draco.
Harry examined his dragon tattoo before pulling his pants back up and looking up at Draco. Draco was glaring at the lady, and Harry shrugged it off, since Draco always glares at people.
The lady muttered her apology and the boys paid. As soon as they were out of the door, Draco muttered, "Did she really have to touch you that much?"
"Why do you care Malfoy?" Harry raised his eyebrows.
"I don't," He drawled.
"Hello," Alexis said singsong. "How are you boys doing?"
"Fine," Harry said quietly.
"Alexis do you mind?" Draco muttered. "Potter and I will be perfectly fine without you following us like a puppy dog. You may go."
Alexis looked slightly hurt by the 'puppy dog' comment. "You're sure?" The boys nodded. "Fine then," Alexis muttered walking away. "Have fun."
"You hurt her feelings," Harry told Draco.
"So what?" Draco sneered. "You let some floozy feel you up."
"What's your problem Malfoy?" Harry asked him walking towards the Shrieking Shack. "You're real confusing, you know that?"
"I don't have a problem!" Draco muttered, eyes narrowed. "You do."
"Stop acting like a child," Harry's eyes darkened and Draco felt his heart skip a beat.
"I'm not acting," Draco pouted. The two boys leaned against the fence around the Shack. Draco wanted to tell Harry how he felt but didn't want to hurt him. "Come on."
"What?"
"I want to show you something," Draco told him, leading him to a hill just on the other side of the Shrieking Shack. "Do you remember this place?"
Harry shook his head. "I wouldn't expect you to," Draco sighed. "This is where I saw your head floating in midair 3rd year." Harry looked surprised.
Draco turned around and saw the field where Harry had to get past the dragon 4th year, the place where he first knew he was in love with the Boy-Who-Lived. He leaned against the tree and Harry followed his lead. "I heard what you said last night," Draco whispered finally.
"Wha-what?" Harry choked. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"I heard it, I heard everything," Draco turned to face Harry. "It was…sweet. I didn't know you actually cared."
Harry swallowed looking into silver gray eyes. "I care more than you'll ever know." Harry's lips lightly brushed Draco's.
Draco bit his lip. "You're the one my prophecy is about," Draco said hesitantly, looking into bright emerald eyes.
"Re-really?" Harry stammered.
"I was scared, I still am," Draco murmured against Harry's lips. "Do you still want me knowing it could kill you?"
"I want to have the chance to convince you to choose me," Harry said quietly looking into Draco's eyes.
Draco pressed Harry against the tree and pressed his lips against Harry's. "You're sure?"
"Positive."
Draco pressed his lips against Harry's again, the boys felt the handcuffs fall off and leaned closer into each other. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry's neck as Harry wrapped his arms around Draco's waist. The two boys tongues dueled with each other until finally they pulled away, needing to breath.
"You're sure?" Draco asked one more time.
Harry kissed Draco. "I've never been more sure of anything before in my entire life."
Draco smiled and kissed Harry again. "I'm glad," he murmured softly before kissing him again.
Harry's tongue slipped into Draco's mouth meeting an eager wet one. After the boys were done Draco pressed his forehead to Harry's.
"You're not going to runaway again are you?" Harry asked seriously, eyes narrowed.
"Not this time," Draco grinned in the crook of Harry's neck. "Not again." Draco's breath made Harry shiver. "Come on, we should head back to school."
Harry nodded picking up the handcuffs and the two boys headed to the carriages. They got one with Blaise and Seamus.
"Got them off I see?" Seamus smirked. "I'm going to be using that spell tonight." Blaise grinned at Seamus.
"Thanks for the information," Harry muttered. "But yes, we got them off."
"And?"
"And what?" Draco asked glancing at Harry. "Keep your nose out of my business."
Blaise smiled at Seamus and the two shared a secret laugh. Harry and Draco looked at each other, confused and were thankful to arrive back at Hogwarts. The boys climbed out and headed to the Great Hall.
Draco headed to the Slytherin table, Harry following him. "What are you doing?" Draco muttered under his breath.
"A little something for Alexis," Harry grinned, holding the handcuffs. He dropped them on the table in front of the girl and smirked.
Alexis smirked back as Pansy fainted. "You may want to keep those," she told Harry. "I hear Draco likes to try some things."
"I'll remember that," Harry took the handcuffs and tossed them to Draco, who caught them. "Later."
"Well what's going on between you two?" Alexis asked Draco while the table looked at him expectantly.
"You really should mind your own business," Draco smirked, eating some food.
"Alright," Alexis grinned. "But you enjoyed being chained to Raven didn't you?"
Draco smiled. "Of course not."
"Right…" Alexis grinned. "Who kissed who?"
"This isn't minding your own business," Draco said looking at the girl. He sighed. "I kissed him."
"Well that's a first," Alexis grinned. "Isn't it him usually kissing you?"
"Yes," Draco looked at her not seeing where she was going.
"Maybe he'll run away this time," Alexis grinned at the horrified look on Draco's face. She laughed.
"He won't run away," Draco said after recovering from that shock. "I heard what he said last night."
"Was that why I found you cuddling him?"
Draco blushed and walked out of the Great Hall with most of the Slytherin table following him. Alexis and Blaise swallowed and looked at the rest of the Slytherins. "Common room, NOW!" Alexis glared at them. They got up and scrambled to the common room.
Alexis and Blaise followed slowly behind. Soon they reached the Common Room and Draco was promptly ignoring the 3rd degree he was receiving. "What were you thinking kissing the Boy-Who-Lived?"
"Are you insane?"
"He's Harry Potter!"
"I'm sure he is well aware of who he kissed, thank you very much," Alexis growled at them. "Sit down, now!"
Most of them looked at her in shock before sitting. Pansy waltzed over to her. "This is completely your fault!" She hissed at the red-headed girl. "Just wait till the Dark Lord gets you."
Alexis stood there, calmly staring Pansy straight in the eyes. "Firstly, you can blame this all on me, I don't really give a fuck," Alexis said defiantly. "Secondly, that fuckwit couldn't hurt me if he tried."
The Slytherins gasped. "You just called the Dark Lord a-a, fuckwit," one of the third years whimpered.
"I am well aware of what I called him," Alexis sneered. "The Dark Lord," she began sarcastically and then turned serious. "Is nothing more than a coward."
Pansy slapped Alexis hard across the face. Blood trickled down her lips and she wiped it away on the back of her hand as the wound healed itself. "Look here bitch," Alexis glared as desks and sofas shaking. Draco and Blaise looked at each other in panic.
"Who you calling a bitch?" Pansy sneered. "Draco kissed a damn half-blood!"
"HARRY POTTER IS NOT A HALF-BLOOD!" Alexis shouted at the Slytherin girl. "Both his mother and father were a witch and wizard. Voldemort, on the other hand, was and always will be nothing more than a half-blood. His father was a Muggle, he wasn't even a Squib! And his mother, a pure blood descendant of Salazar Slytherin, fell in love with him!"
"Liar," Pansy hissed.
"Voldemort is nothing more or less than a fucking half-blood on a power trip," Alexis sneered object beginning to shake and fly around the room. "He's pissed because his father was scared of magic and refused to acknowledge him as his son. Don't fuck with me Pansy because if I were anything like that fucked-up leader of yours, I'd take you out. I should hate pure-bloods because of the way they treated me. But you don't see me trying to take over the fucking world do you?" Pansy opened her mouth. "You need to fucking decide whether or not you want to lick the shoes of someone who is less than you, less pure then you. You need to decide if you want to follow someone who lied to you and is willing to kill his own for support out of fear or someone who won't kill their followers and has never lied to those that follow him?"
All of the Slytherins looked at her in shock and looked to Draco for confirmation. "She's telling the truth," Draco told them calmly watching them stare at her in alarm.
Pansy charged at the girl and they got into a fist fight. "You bitch!"
"Slut! Get off me!" a punch into Pansy's stomach.
"Fucker! Why don't you except the damned truth," Alexis shouted fist colliding with Pansy's jaw. Pansy's fist made contact with Alexis' eye.
Alexis got bit and scratched Pansy, who scratched back. The two girls punched each other and soon Pansy some how got the handkerchief off Alexis. Alexis hit her in the head with a flying Muggle Studies book.
"Ironic," Alexis muttered as she tied the scarf back on. "Anyways…I'm going to bed. Goodnight!"
Pansy was lying on the floor as Alexis walked into her room, things falling where they were.
"That was quite a show," Draco said leaning against the wall, watching the girl's injuries heal. "You caused quite a scene."
"I only did what I had to do," Alexis muttered climbing into bed. "Night."
"How are they going to react?" Blaise wondered.
"It'll take a few days for them to decide what they want," Alexis told the boys. "Let them decide. Hell, even Pansy will make some sort of decision. Now boys, goodnight."
The two boys walked out as Alexis fell into a restless sleep, dreaming dreams of Voldemort, Death Eaters, and Dementors.
