Strip Down

Introductions

By Kristina Chang

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

Last time:

The girls were as ready as they'd ever be.

The knock came at precisely 11 sharp.

'Good. Harry listened to my advice. Not like he'd dare not to.'

Hermione and the girls stood by the door. A cloak completely obscuring their features and their outfits and masks on underneath. They looked like entirely different people. Hermione went to open the door.

Let the night begin…

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

The guys looked at the four figures in front of them. The only clue that gave them away as girls were their voices. The four figures wore long black hooded cloaks, which obscured all their features. After they got over the fact that they could see nothing of their hostesses, they turned their attention to the dorm room as one of the girls ushered them into the room. They looked around the room in awe. The normal rows of beds were arranged into a circle, with a sizable amount of space left in the middle. In the middle of the circle were four chairs. Each chair was facing an individual bed and had one of the boys' names on each one.

"Hermione has graciously allowed us the use of her room. If you would all sit down in your respective chairs that we have set up for you, we can get started with … something we'd like to present to you."

The guys didn't make a notion to move.

"Well what are you waiting for? Move it."

'This girl's attitude sounds so familiar. But… yes! She sounds like Granger! But she's not supposed to be here anyway. Damn cloaks!' Draco thought. Then he spoke up for he rest of the buys.

"We can't really see anything too well, the lights are so dim."

"Fine. One of the girls will direct you to a spot. That will be where you're gonna sit." Hermione led Draco to a chair and the other girls led the guys.

Then the girls disappeared and blended into the shadows, like magic. The lights darkened to almost black and a voice came from seemingly nowhere.

"Aright. Now to start off the evening, we're gonna be doing a special little… dance. There's only two things to remember. Now matter how tempted to join. DO NOT! And most importantly. No touching." Spotlights shone on the beds. A green light in front of Harry's bed, a bluish light in front of Draco's bed, a red light in front of Ron's bed, and a purple light in front of Seamus's bed. Figures could be seen behind the hood of the cloaks they still wore. They each held a different position.

Music suddenly started playing. It was "I'm a Slave 4 U" by Britney Spears. (It fit. Just imagine it if you know it. If not, then think of something else.) The beat began and the girls moved from their fixed state. First removing their cloaks to reveal their head, then they unlatched their cloaks to reveal their body and they tossed the cloaks to the floor while moving their hips to the music.

Draco stared at the girl on the bed in front of him. the bluish-white light shining on her made the girl seem ethereal. Her outfit looked like the school uniform starting with the silver knee-high socks which adorned her long shapely calves. She was wearing a bluish-silver skirt and a silver-gray blouse. The top three buttons were undone and Draco could see the cerulean bra and the plus was the top of her breasts could be seen as well. On her neck was a simple necklace, which consisted of a single diamond on a silver chain. On her face was a silver mask framing her light blue eyes and she was wearing a blue hat, which obscured her charmed black hair. On each of her wrists was a bracelet that connected to rings on her middle fingers.

Draco could only stare. She was breathtaking. He wondered why he never knew this girl before and why Potter had never introduced him to her. Vaguely in the back of his mind, he remembered that there were other people in the room as well, but he didn't care. He only cared about the woman in front of him at the moment.

Meanwhile… in other parts of the room…

Ginny was dancing in front of Harry. Harry was less discreet than Draco about his surprise. Just a bit though. His mouth was open a bit, and he seemed to be having just a bit of trouble breathing properly. Even with his mouth open like that. Ginny had on the same outfit as Hermione, only with different colors. Her socks were silver, her skirt green, her blouse silver, her inner clothes a forest color as well as her hat, which covered her shiny silver hair, and she was wearing a single emerald on a silver chain.

Harry couldn't help but feel attracted to this girl. She seemed very familiar, but he knew that he'd never met anyone like her before. He didn't put any more thought into it and just sat back to watch the show.

Seamus, on the other hand, was not as discreet as his surprise at all. His mouth was wide open in shock his eyes seemed to be bulging out of his eye sockets. In front of Seamus was a girl in purple and black. Her socks were black and her skirt was purple, her blouse silver-gray, her bra a purple color and her hat black, covering her dark purple hair. She wore an amethyst stone hanging on a silver chain.

Seamus, after getting over the apparent shock, could only stare and wonder why he was invited to a party like this at all. Unless the girl in front of him liked him. For what reason though? He didn't have a clue. But he took advantage of the fact and kept watching the show. Maybe… after he found out who this person was, she'd end up being the one that HE wanted.

If you think Seamus's reaction was funny. Ha! You gotta take a look at Ron. Ron was almost suffering from a heart attack and he already had the beginning of a minor nosebleed. Although he knew that the only girl for him was Lavender, he couldn't help staring at the red and gold beauty in front of him. She wore gold knee-highs, a red skirt, gold blouse, scarlet bra and a golden hat to top it off. Circling her neck was a ruby on a golden chain.

She moved with a fluid grace that seemed oddly familiar to him. But he didn't think that he knew anyone with blond hair that shimmered like gold. Except ONE person. And she couldn't possibly be doing this. He gave into looking at this girl and forgot about the little sense of recognition.

Back to the leaders of the two groups…

The mysterious girl in front of Draco moved WITH the music and BECAME the music. Now, remember, Draco has no idea that this is a strip show. He just thought that the girls were gonna dance in front of them 'til they itched to join them. In more ways than one. When Hermione and the other girls began to unbutton their blouses, all the boys' jaws dropped to the floor, not literally, of course. And Ron's minor nosebleed became an apparent nosebleed and started dripping onto his robes. Seamus, to his right, noticed, and muttered a spell to stop it. (How'd he know how to stop a nosebleed, I wonder.) But then quickly returned his gaze upon the girl in front of him again. Ron muttered a thanks, all the while never taking his eyes away from "his" girl.

The girls took their blouses off tantalizingly slow and flung it at the guys.

Hermione's shirt landed in Draco's lap. He picked it up and inhaled the scent of her. It was a sweet mix of chocolate and strawberries.

Ginny's shirt landed on Harry's face. He immediately smelled the sweet cinnamon scent like a homemade apple pie.

Parvati's shirt landed on the floor in front of Seamus. He picked it up and draped it around his neck causing the tangerine smell to permeate his senses.

Lavender's blouse landed on top of Ron's head. He smelled the signature apple scent of his girlfriend and was confused even more. But he wouldn't complain if the two girls turned out to be one in the same.

The guys looked at the girls in awe now even more than before. They were wearing a piece of cloth, which seemed to wrap around their upper body and exposed a lot of skin. (I can't describe it. It's like the thing in the Britney Spears' video, "I'm a Slave 4 U". if you've seen it, well, it's like that. If not. You should. It's really kool.) It looked like a bikini top in front and there were many long pieces hanging from the back. There was also a cloth wrapped around the girls' right arm with two trailing pieces hanging the wrap around.

The music played and the girls kept dancing.

They boys began to feel tightness in their pants that they hadn't felt in a while. They were surprised that a group of strangers could even turn them on. But they were very sexy strangers with such a mysterious aura that the boys couldn't help but be attracted to them. Luckily, their robes covered up the painful evidence that showed what they were feelings.

The girls didn't notice, but Hermione could see Draco squirming to get comfortable in his seat. Hermione chuckled silently to herself, but kept on dancing.

Then in an unexpected move, the girls jumped down from the bed and each walke… sashayed over to their men slowly and sexy-like.

They lifted their legs high in the air and over the guys' heads, giving them a glimpse of their underwear. The girls practically had their crotch in the guys' faces, they were so close. And when the legs came down, the girls straddled the guys in the chair.

Hermione placed her hands on the sides of Draco's head and gave him little teasing kisses all over his face. She also messed up his hair, giving him the appearance that he'd just come back from playing Quidditch in the field on a windy day.

"You look so much cuter with your hair like that." Hermione whispered to Draco, kissing him full on the lips. But it was just a teasing kiss and she pulled away immediately after feeling him respond. She then enjoyed herself immensely by grinding her pelvis into his, evoking a small gasp from Draco and a large twitch from down below. Hermione smirked and played with his mind some more by messing with his body.

Ginny was straddling Harry after the same leg-lifting move. She pressed down into Harry's groin and was immediately rewarded with a low groan from him. Entangling her fingers into his hair, Ginny spoke in a hoarse whisper.

"You know Harry, your eyes are just the most wonderful shade of emerald. A girl could get lost forever in your eyes." Ginny took off Harry's glasses and threw it onto her bed.

"I think, Harry, that it's not just your fame that makes you popular. Actually, I don't think it's your fame at all. It's most definitely your eyes. They entranced me the first time I ever met you." Ginny smiled and kissed him hard on the mouth, never loosening her grip on his hair.

Seamus was strangely quiet as Parvati sat upon him.

"Who ARE you?" Seamus's voice came out raspy and hoarse from lust.

Parvati giggled at him and kissed him slightly on the tip of his nose.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out." Parvati answered.

Seamus nervously raised his hands to Parvati's side, but she made them drop back to the side of the chair.

"Tsk tsk. Shouldn't do that. No touching allowed." Parvati teasingly told Seamus before resuming the lap dance.

Ron was, by far, the funniest of the group. As the easiest to embarrass, he was flushing a deep crimson while never taking his eyes off the girl in front of him. But in the recesses of his mind, he remembered that he had a girlfriend and this was considered cheating on her. Surely, this girl who was giving him a lap dance, a damn good one at that, should know.

"No. I can't let you do this. I-I have a girlfriend. This is cheating on her. I love her too much t-to do this." Ron managed to sputter out. But the girl did not stop, only hesitated slightly, but then she slowed down and sat down in his lap, smiling wickedly.

"So NOBLE, Ron. But what your girlfriend don't know… won't hurt her." She whispered into his ear, delighting in seeing him shiver at the way he breathed slightly into it. Lavender always knew that it was Ron's secret spot to convince him of anything.

"And she'll never find out anyway… I mean, what? Are YOU going to tell her that you went to a strip party?" Lavender added in her mind, 'since she already knows.' "So just relax. And let me take care of you." She purred into his ear.

Ron was about to push her off his lap after she'd said that, but she pulled his head forward and his lips met hers in a passionate kiss. Once Ron responded, Lavender pulled away and looked at his hands, which were poised to hold onto her waist. Lavender made a small "tsk tsk" and Ron let his hands drop.

Lavender, on the other hand, moved the next part of the plan into action. She unclasped his robe and pushed it off his shoulders to fall on the floor. Then she started unbuttoning his shirt slowly, kissing each piece of skin that was revealed. Lavender looked at the other girls out the corner of her eyes and saw them doing the same.

Hermione had just finished unbuttoning Draco's shirt and now it lay wide open, exposing his toned stomach and his smooth chest, from exercising for Quidditch. Hermione ran her long fingers all over his chest reveling in the smooth feel of it underneath her fingertips. Licking her lips in anticipation, and in a bold move, she leaned forward and sucked on one of his nipples. She delighted in hearing Draco groan in pleasure and moved up to his neck.

They all planned on giving the guys hickeys so that they wouldn't forget this night for a while. And just to give them a hard time during school hours. They knew that the guys didn't know any cover-up charms, maybe except for the occasional acne that pops up every now and then. But this was far from acne and that charm would NOT work. So the girls delighted in seeing them all suffer and they'd have to go through school with the blood-red hickey marks on their necks.

Hermione smiled but continued to give Draco his hickey, sucking on his neck like a vampire sucking for blood. Finally, after Hermione was definitely sure that her mark would be left, she kissed her way up to his jaw line en route his mouth. But she didn't kiss his mouth when she got there. No no no, she teased him by kissing his chin, the corners of his mouth and even the tip of his nose. Hermione was so busy in teasing Draco that she forgot about his hands and she nearly screamed in surprise when she felt his frosty hands on her bare waist.

Hermione immediately stopped what she was doing to Draco and stood up in front of him. therefore detaching his hands from her. Hermione looked at him with a small frown. But then smiled again as she thought of something evil to do to him.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Didn't we say that no touching was one of the two rules?! Now you don't get to play along. And I was so hoping you would too. Oh poo." She said with a childish pout.

"And now, I'm afraid I'll have to tie up your hands for being such a naughty little boy." Hermione left to fetch some rope from some odd part of the room while Draco was just left there hanging.

Draco looked around at Harry, Ron, and Seamus. They seemed to be having fun and subjected to the same torture as Draco. He saw the other girls leave to get stuff and quickly turned to the boys to discuss some things.

"Potter! Hey Potter! HARRY!" Draco near yelled.

Harry seemed to snap out of his daze and looked at Draco.

"What is it, Draco?"

"Did you know that this was gonna be stripping?!"

"No! Hermione just told me to come here tonight at 11 and not to tell anyone else but you three. She just said that these girls were her friends and she wouldn't be here."

"Oh really?" Draco asked skeptically. "I don't think she left. I REALLY think she's still here. But odd is… I don't know WHERE."

"You don't think one of the girls…?!" Ron voiced out.

"Nah. I don't think 'Mione would want to kiss you or me for that matter." Harry answered Ron.

"Yeah. But what about Malfoy?" Seamus stated. "I know she doesn't like ME like that and I treat her like a sister anyway. She knows that. But Malfoy here… there's a chance."

"ME?! And the know-it-all?! HA! Not very likely. Why, I say? Because she thinks I'm a jerk-off, a prat, and a twit to top it off. That's why. But her and ME? Hmm… I could like that… er… I mean…" Draco tried to cover up the slip but the others had already heard it.

Harry laughed at Draco.

"Malfoy! You LIKE Hermione!! Just admit it. I've been waiting to hear that YOU wanted HER since I figured out that SHE wanted YOU! You two are just too damn obvious. She's wanted you for so long, it's about time you wanted her back. But I didn't tell you that. Got it? Good." Harry smiled widely.

Meanwhile in another part of the room…

The girls met up with Hermione, who was waiting for them.

"So how's your… dance going so far?" Hermione asked them all.

They all smiled in return. Ginny was the first to respond.

"I'm having so much fun! I can't believe this is so fun! I never thought I'd actually be doing this. But I am!" Ginny giggled.

"Oh Ron is having suspicions about me, I think. And he's so cute. He said that he didn't want to cheat on his girlfriend and that he didn't want to hurt her because he loved her so much. Aww… that's so cute! He really DOES love me." Lavender smiled and looked over at Ron wistfully from where they were standing.

"Seamus is just clueless. He has NO IDEA who I am. It's great." Parvati trailed off.

"And what of you and your dragon, eh?" Ginny questioned Hermione.

"Oh. Let's just say that it's going very VERY well. But I'm only afraid of one thing. What's he gonna say when he finds out it's me? Just normal, know-it-all, mudblood Granger? That's what I'm afraid of. The only thing." Hermione sighed.

"Don't fret, 'Mione. You are far from an ordinary witch. And if he doesn't see that then it's his loss. Don't you worry. I'm sure he likes you already. He seems very taken with you." Ginny reasoned to Hermione. Hermione nodded. "And besides, you always have your OTHER secret." Hermione nodded once again, smiling this time.

"Pfft. What are we waiting around for? Let's get going!" Hermione grabbed her rope while the others grabbed their miscellaneous items and walked back to the guys.
