A/N: Thank you to my reviewers! I'm not going to use my word limits to thank reviewers, I'm just going to say thanks to all of you, even the ones who call me insane. I was going to wait until I had ten reviews, but couldn't wait any longer That first chapter was a touch short wasn't it? Oh well, they'll get longer.
Snippet from Chapter one to place you
-
Harry blinked as what the three boys told him finally sank in to his sleep fogged brain, then burst out laughing.
"Harry mate?"
"Potter?"
Draco looked at Harry in amusement "Potter if you don't knock that off I'm going to be forced to snog you senseless"
Ron and Blaise looked horrified at this but Harry, our poor misguided Harry pulled Draco to him and laughed harder
-
Ron and Blaise looked at each other in horror then jumped to pull Harry and Draco apart.
"WHAT IS GOING ON??????"
Apart from a few more giggles from Harry, the four boys went totally silent and turned towards the door, peering at the figure there
"Ah, Professor Snape, well you see, um what I'm trying to say is –"
"Oh shut up Weasley, let me take a wild stab at what's happened now" Snape bit out sarcastically "Potter has, once again, forgotten what the Headmaster planned for this year, Malfoy and Zabini have perfected the Oris Resitutio spell that they've been working on for over a year since Malfoy decided that Potter needed a makeover"
"Professor Snape! How could you? I told you that in CONFIDENCE" Draco looked absolutely shocked at his secret being let out.
"Oh honestly Malfoy, did you REALLY think that your secret was going to STAY that way once Potter opened his trunk, AND saw the way your section of the dorm is set up? I mean seriously Draco it'll be around the school in an hour that you swing our way." Blaise smirked evilly at his friend "Besides, while the Slytherins would keep your secret to the grave, once Dumbledore set this plan in motion, it couldn't HELP but come out, you know there's no restrictions on the girls coming in now, and after the make-up tips you've been giving Pansy for years did you really think that you'd be able to restrain yourself from giving the same advice to our dorm mates?"
Draco was mortified by what Blaise had said absolutely mortified, and for once he showed it. Ron looked at him like he'd grown another head but Harry…. Well he still looked like he was about to start laughing hysterically again.
"What's wrong with you Weasley? Afraid my gayness is catching?"
"No Malfoy, actually I was wondering why I hadn't noticed before, I mean, no straight guy acts the way you do, nibbles from hippogriffs putting you in the hospital wing for days, falling off your broom during Quidditch putting you in for hours, I'm surprised I didn't see it before actually."
"Entertaining as it is to listen to you two discuss your love lives" Snape interrupted "I am actually here to inform you that Dumbledore wants ALL sixth years to report to the Great Hall in 5 minutes, in formal dress robes. Do I make myself clear?"
Blaise and Ron nodded, Harry just looked dumbstruck, but Draco, well… to put it bluntly he started running around as if he was a chicken with its head cut off.
"Five minutes isn't long enough to get into formal dress, five minutes isn't even long enough to do my hair, not to mention try and get Potter looking like something that DIDN'T come out of a rag bag – mmmph"
Blaise looked at Draco over the hand he had clapped over his mouth. "Magic Malfoy, magic. USE it you insufferable git"
In no time at all the four boys were ready to descend to the hall and receive whatever jewels of wisdom Professor Dumbledore had decided required their being in dress robes at this hour so they went.

"- And that is why I called you all down here. Thank you children, please enjoy your breakfast"
With that Dumbledore sat down and the food appeared on the tables that were – at least to Harry, very strangely set up. Gone were the four house tables, in their place were a whole lot of eight seater round tables, at which there were two students from each house at. Yes, Harry's brain still hasn't caught up with the last few days, he still doesn't quite understand why he has to share a dorm with Malfoy and Zabini.
"Can you believe what he's got planned now Harry?"
Harry just looked at Ron like his friend had grown an extra head. "Which part Ron? The abolishing of houses or the rest of it?"
That's right, Dumbledore had decided that it would be a good idea to abolish the houses completely as the experiment with the room shuffling seemed to have worked (Honestly you'd think he would have given it a FULL week rather than just a couple of days but this IS Dumbledore we're talking about), he'd also decided that since there were to be no more houses, Quidditch wouldn't be needed anymore (Harry, Draco and Ron thought they could talk him around on this part though), no more house points to be awarded, no more house cup. Oh no, now it was to be DORM points, and a dorm cup, so in order to win, the eight students sharing a dorm would have to cooperate fully, not fight with each other and of all horrors (At least in Draco's point of view) CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES. That's right, Dumbledore had decided to make our teenagers take a little responsibility for themselves and start picking up their own clothes, house elves would still be laundering their clothes, and cooking for them, but they would be doing the cleaning of their dorms themselves.
Just as the students were finishing up breakfast, a bell rang – yet another idea of Dumbledore's.
"All right students, you now have you schedules, please make your way to class"
