Draco looked after Trel, as she walked from the table. His eyes followed her over to the Gryffindor table, and he growled. His heart pounded painfully in his chest, when she had glanced over at him. Their eyes had met steadily for only an instant, and his chest clenched unbearably. He didn't understand her, but he wanted her.

The girl beside him talked to him idly, he could care less what she was saying. He had been substituting girls ever since that day, in the common room. He couldn't get her off his mind. She invaded him everywhere. But all she did was avoid him.

Not that he had any idea what he wanted to say to her. He didn't even know if he could touch her, and keep his hands above her chest anymore. He had hoped they could go to the dance, and talk, but she managed to deter him even there.

He hated it.

He clenched his hands, as she bent down next to Potter. Even from here it didn't look too innocent. He wanted to hurt Trel, in some way he didn't know how. He didn't exactly want her crawling back to him, but he couldn't take this anymore. Even now as he watched them, she smiled and laughed like nothing had ever happened between them.

He saw Harry nod, and rise. He picked up his bag, and she the same. They weren't coming back. he looked away his blood boiling. He ignored his impulse to follow them out and turned back to the girl beside him. Chancing one last glance, and meeting dark hurt eyes.

I just had to look at him. I wasn't my fault. I swear. But when I looked, I got another eyeful of some new girl. God how many of the Slytherins was he fucking? He wasn't going to change, he was what he was, and I was better off with Potter.

Ri-ight

I brought Potter out to talk him into helping me sneak in Jay. Surprisingly he said he had just the thing. He brought me up to the Gryffindor common room, and showed me his invisibility cloak. I had hugged him, and thanked him over and over. He just laughed and said it was no problem. I told him to meet me down by the stairs, at quarter to Twelve. He agreed and we kissed.

Unfortunately it was nice.

The next day everyone was in high spirits, everyone was happy. I hated it. Usually Halloween was my fav day of all, not this year. I had Draco to thank for that.

I wanted to punch them all.

Even Jolly and Arthur were in good spirits. My hands twitched to hurt them. They took great pleasure informing me that, just because I was having boy problems, didn't mean I had to ruin everyone else's day.

Who ever said that I was having boy problems...?

In Charms, Potter kissed me on the cheek, and I jumped. He laughed. I cursed him out. He laughed some more. I invited him to lunch.

Before going down to eat with my friends, I popped up into my room to grab one of the potions in the vials in my trunk. I went outside, and found I was the only one in the courtyard, no one had showed up yet. I pulled out the vial, and a water bottle filled with pumpkin juice, just guess what I did next. I added the potion to the stuff, and shook it up. I was tempted to try it to make sure it didn't taste funny. But was I really that dumb?

Potter was first out, then followed by the other two a few minutes later. Potter sat down beside me, and I made myself comfy by laying my head on his lap, and smiling up at him. He smiled back. everything above us was gray and bright, and cold, like you could smell the snow in the air.

I stretched out my legs just as the other two came up. Arthur looked down at my legs, where she would've sat. she looked at me, then back to my legs, like she wanted me to move.

I didn't.

"move your damned legs, wench" she said. I looked at her like I just realized she was standing there.

"Bite me..." I answered. Baaad thing to do. She just plopped right onto my legs. "Hey...!" she dropped her bag on my stomach. "Oooph" I felt the air leave my lungs.

"You jerk, get off me!" I coughed out.

"Move your legs" she said, like it didn't matter either way.

"Fine!" I yelled just get you ass off!" She moved, and I was tempted to throw her bag at her, not a good idea either. I sat up and realized Potter was laughing. Ooh goody. Our food came and we started eating. Arthur started talking.

"Nika," I said, "If you say one more word, one single word about Ferrio again, I am going to blast your mouth off" she shot me a dirty look, and I had to resist sticking my tongue out at her, she probably would have cut it off. I gave Harry one of my sushi.

He chewed once and almost spit it out. I saw his face turn a little green, and I thought he was gonna toss his cookies. But he swallowed just fine. I handed him the pumpkin juice.

Now begins my rein of terror. Umm yeah.

He took two big gulps, drinking almost half. 'That can't be good,' I thought, but it was too late now. After a while he got this blank look on his face. No one was home. Step one completed. Now for step two. I turned his head to look at me, he stared impassively over my shoulder.

"What is your name?" I asked.

"Harry James Potter" he answered in a monotone. So far so good.

"Did you kiss Draco?"

"Yes" my friends turned to look now, perplexed, I hadn't told them what I was going to do.

"Why?" I asked. Maybe it was just some crazy form of lust, I hoped the guy wasn't in love with him.

"I love him..." I reeled at this. My heart was pounding in my chest now. Harry Potter, in love with Draco. Who'd of thought?

"Why did you ask me out" I had to go on, had to find out. Yeah I was playing dirty, but whaddya wanna bet he was too?

"To get you and Draco to break up. I want him, I have to, he has to love me" Oookay. He really was demented. I shivered at the cold feeling seeping down my back.

"Will you hurt him?" I hoped I wouldn't have to protect Malfoy. Hey why should I anyway.

"No"

"Will you..." I stopped. His eyes held a flicker of life in them. Some one was home now.

"Will I what?" he asked, a little dazed. I knew he wouldn't remember, but his word had me so spooked, that I hardly could think for myself. I had to think, but quick.

"Will you..., uhh...go to the dance with me tonight?" I said, a little breathlessly. He looked at me and smiled

"I thought we covered that. Sure I'll go with you. But....I am not going to dress up.." he leaned down and kissed me, firmly on the lips. I pretended to pout, then smiled. Sometimes I act the part too well, even for myself. 'Cause inside I was about to fly apart, I was scared my heart would fly out of my chest, and let on how scared I was of him at that moment.

I looked over his shoulder to see Weasley coming through the double doors, looking around for Harry. He turned and looked too.

"I gotta go" he kissed my cheek and stood, leaving, walking towards Ron. We stared after him. When he disappeared inside the school, I turned to my friends who where just as stunned as I felt.

"So..." Arthur said cautiously, "Well we know he's gay, what now?" I just stared at her.

I didn't know what to do. I swear I was shaking. Potter would go too far, just for Malfoy. Maybe I had given something good away. I almost pinched myself at that.

Malfoy was the most lecherous teenager I had ever known, but I wasn't about to let Potter take him. Besides all of that, Malfoy is not gay. I had the ache in my loins for him, to prove it.

Something was wrong with Potter, beside his ability to follow trouble. I wanted to ask if he would hurt me to get to Malfoy, but I felt like I already knew the answer. I'd just have to stay on my toes and find out who was left in the end.
