"Shit" Harry groaned a little while later as he began to feel the effects of the pill.

Draco, who'd felt the effects a long time ago laughed "Feelin' it huh?" he asked

"Yeah" he said feeling as if he'd been recharged. He began feeling the energy he couldn't muster before, due to lack of eating. "I feel like I can run forever"

"Well with enough of these . . . I'm sure you could" Draco yawned turning his speed down, before it to a complete stop.

"Where are you going?" Harry asked noticing that Draco now looked extremely tired

"I'm done" The blonde huffed drinking down the rest of his water and toweling off his sweaty face. "I'm coming down. I'm gonna hit the box for a while"

Harry cringed at the thought of entering "The Box" which was the sauna. Sometimes players stayed in there for hours before a game, hoping to sweat out an ounce or two. It was literally hell in there. Harry would often do anything to put off or avoid going in there. The box was the only thing he hated more than heaving.

"You comin' with?"

"No, maybe later" Harry dodged

"Yeah, you're too hopped up to sit around the box. It's best to wait until you're coming down which should be in a little while. You'll be so low you won't realize how long you've been in there" he turned to leave when Harry called

"Meet me outside the Great Hall after dinner"

Draco smiled that superior smile "Cool"

Harry ran for a couple of minutes more without anyone near him. He was suddenly more aware of everyone else. He felt everything his hair slapping against his neck, the sweat making its way down his back, cheeks, arms. It was now he knew why Malfoy constantly looked over his shoulder. That sudden awareness made you paranoid in a sense. He was then joined by Oliver, who gave up trying to break up yet another fight between the twins.

"You've been running forever" he said starting off at a walk

"Yeah so"

"Aren't you tired?"

Harry scoffed "Hardly"

Oliver ran his hand across his sweaty head. "Keep that up and that ten pounds will be off in no time"

That's the plan" he responded. Oliver raised his eyebrows and Harry realized that this pill gave him way more confidence than he'd ever had. "Someone turn on the radio" he ordered turning the treadmill on the highest speed. Cedric Diggory, the Ravenclaw seeker turned on the old radio in the corner, The Weird Sisters were on.

"I love this song" he exclaimed

"Don't you think you're going a little fast?" Oliver asked

Harry looked over at him "No"

"Stop showing off Potter" Diggory yelled at him

"Fuck you" he responded "I don't need to show off"

"Too good are you?"

Harry laughed "Cho seems to think so"

Cedric dropped the weights he was lifting "What did you say?"

"I said" he drawled out " 'Cho seems to think so' clear enough for you?"

Even he surprised himself at the way he'd just said that. He never spoke like this, and it got the attention of everyone in the room. It was well known that Cho Chang had publicly broken up with the seeker, because some of her friends had convinced her that she was better than him. She had named off a bunch of people she'd said was better than him, and Harry was the first off the list.

"Don't play with me Potter"

Harry laughed cockily as Cedric stalked over, ignoring his friends pleads to sit back down and forget about it.

"I'm fucking serious don't laugh at me either faggot"

Harry kept his Malfoy like sneer plastered on his face, but raised his eyebrow. He paid no attention to the derogatory comment. "Well Ceddy, your girlfriend . . . well I should say ex- girlfriend broke up with you to try and get with this 'faggot' she personally called you out and told everyone that she thought I was better than you. Which, I already knew. So does that make me better than you?" he asked then scoffed " I think it does"

Right then Cedric tackled Harry, they both fell into Oliver all three went down. Cedric scrambled up "Get up!" he shouted

Harry did so. His adrenaline rushing he quickly landed a punch to the side of his former acquaintance's face. Cedric happily returned the blow and then some. Before any more could be thrown Oliver grabbed Harry while Fred and George grabbed Cedric.

"Watch your back faggot!" he yelled as the twins carted him out.

"You gonna get someone to jump me?!" Harry asked loving the way he was feeling. "Whatever Diggory what the fuck ever" he turned around and went over to the bench where his towel lie and picked it up then held it to his bleeding nose. He tried to sit there with his head back but was too worked up. He like the way he could work out hard, not feel hungry or tired and as a plus get the confidence he'd lacked most of his life.

"What is up with you?" Oliver asked "You've never acted like this before"

Harry got up and faced him "Maybe that was the problem . . . I let everyone walk all over me, well its not gonna happen anymore, I'm not gonna take shit from no one . . . not any more"

He looked over his shoulder. He suddenly felt a little more paranoid, like everyone was out to get him. Oliver looked at him, concern in his eye's. It just wasn't like Harry to act this way, let alone outright attack someone he'd been really cool with. He wrote it off though, as him just having a bad day due to his weight. When his nose finally stopped bleeding he went right back to working out, as if the whole thing with Cedric had never happened.

"Help me do my sit ups" Harry half-asked half-ordered Oliver to do

"How many are you gonna do today fifty?" he joked knowing Harry could never do over fifty in a row

"Malfoy told me he does at least three hundred a day so why don't you take a rest" he suggested "We're going to be here for a while"

So for a while Oliver did watch his boyfriend push his body far beyond what he thought he ever could.

"How many was that?" Harry asked about an hour later once his body began coming down off of the high.

"Two hundred even"

"Got a hundred more to go Potter, think you can do it?" George asked

Harry sat up again "Two hundred and one"

He fell back again and felt his energy take a nosedive. And found himself unable to do another sit up.

"And he's down for the count" Alicia announced as Harry tried to get back up but just couldn't.

"I'm not out yet" he huffed sitting up "Two hundred and two"

The old familiar feeling of hunger came back to him and he lied back again.

"Ten, nine, eight" she counted down

"Fuck you!" he snapped "I'm gonna do three hundred"

Oliver extended his hand "You don't have to be like Malfoy" he told him

Feeling tired and beaten he took his hand and Oliver helped him up.

"Ready to hit the box then?" Fred asked

The rest of the guys told him yeah, but Harry just yawned and followed them to change. Oliver watched as the teen sluggishly padded through the locker room

"Spent are you?"

"You have no idea"

He truly was spent, he didn't realize just how much of a workout he was doing until he felt it on the come down. That feeling of no confidence came back, but along with that came a feeling of lethargy. And the two of them together was horrible. He didn't want to feel like this, or even how he felt before, he wanted that confidence and energy that only that pill gave him. And he wanted it now.
