Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

By Friday morning news of the Yule ball had gotten around to everyone. Students were hurrying up to the Owlery to tell their parents that they wanted to stay at Hogwarts over the Christmas period. That was however, everyone except the Gyffindor house. Almost the entire house was waiting down in their commonroom to get to breakfast, but they couldn't seem to get out the door.

Ginny woke later than usual on this particular day, by Hermione who was shaking her out of her dreams.

"Wake up Gin, you're gonna late."

"Yeah...yeah.....I'm up I'm up."

Ginny threw the covers off the bed and rolled onto the floor-, which was freezing.

"Ow.....shit its cold."

Hermione laughed. "So get dressed and you won't BE so cold."

Ginny got dressed and once they were ready they made their way into the packed common room.

"What's going on here then?" Hermione voiced to know one in particular.

Ron, Harry, Neville and Dean were standing by the portrait hole, trying to pry it open with a broom handle.

"Come on guys. All together now. You can do it" Seamus yelled as the four boys tried in vain to open the door. They all stopped in the actions to glare at him.

"Shut up and help us you great big prat" Harry voiced.

"No doubt this is something to do with the Slytherins!" Neville muttered through puffed out breaths.

"Yeah...probably...." Was Deans puffed out reply.

"I thought they didn't know where our common room was" Harry wheezed.

"Must have found out some how" Ron huffed.

Hermione and Ginny pushed their way to the front of the crowd of people and saw the boys trying to open the door.

"What's going on?" Hermione said again, load enough so they could all hear her over their growls and moans trying to open the portrait hole.

Ron stood up straight and brushed some imaginary dust off himself.. "Well,....we....er...cant get out...."

"WHAT! Why?" Hermione was almost hyperventilating. "We have that test in Arithmancy today. And double History of magic. Oh and then I was going to stay after class and help McGonagal with marking some tests. OH MY GOD. I have to help reorganise the books in the library today. What shall I do?"

Harry almost feinted. Seamus Dean and Neville stared at her as if she was gone mad and were on guard ready to whisk her off the St. Mungos any second, and Ginny looked to her brother for some kind of help as to what to do in this situation.

Ron however edged forward and put an arm around his deathly pale girlfriend. . "Its O.K Sweetheart. We'll get out of here and you can do ALL that .....er...........stuff........don't panic." He led her to the sofa and sat her down, rubbing her back in a soothing manner.

"Any way....."Harry began as her turned to the door again. "Let get this open shall we.......so we can al get out of here and away from psycho over there" – he added the last bit under his breathe.

But just as the four boys held their broom stick poised at the door again......there was an almighty-

Draco was woken from his slumber Friday morning by THE loudest bang he had ever heard in his life before.

In the bed next to him, he heard Blaise yell with glee. "YES! IT WORKED. Drake you awake?"

"Yes...and don't ever call me that again." He laughed.

"Ha..yeah what ever...did you HEAR that BANG"

"Duh!"

Just then the door to their dorm was thrown open and Pansy, Millicent and Tanya came skidding into the room, Pansy jumping up onto Draco bed and snuggling down into the covers with him.

"Did you HEAR that?" Tanya screeched.

Draco and Blaise covered their ears.

"Arghhhh to early Tan......please no screaming."

"Sorry....Oh we HAVE to go and cheek out the damage. Does any one know what those potions are capable of?" Tanya asked confused.

They all shared looks of worry for a split second, before bursting into hysterical laughter.

"Nope"

"Beats me"

"Who gives a shit"

Draco jumped out of bed "Well, I'm off for a shower then I think we should go see what damage we have caused,"

"Damn Straight" Blaise yelled as he high fived Draco as he passed.

"Do you need any help sweetheart?" Pansy yelled at Draco's retreating back.

"NO!"

Half an hour later, Draco entered the great hall with the rest of the Slytherins. They smirked to themselves as they saw that the Gryffindor table was COMPLETELY empty.

All the teachers at the teacher table shared looks of worry, as they looked in wonder at how there weren't any signs of red or gold that symbolised Gryffindor house.

As Draco sat down, with Blaise and Pansy on either side of him, Dumbledore stood at the Teachers table and addressed the school- well, the school minus Gryffindor house.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, has anyone seen ANY of Gryffindor house at all this morning?"

Silence.

"Anyone?"

Silence.

Dumbledore sat down. He turned and became engrossed in conversation with McGonagal and Sprout.

Blaise turned to Draco. "Looks like everything is going according to plan"

Draco smiled. He then became very aware that Snape was staring at him for the Teachers table. Draco raised an eyebrow as if asking: 'What?'

Snape mirrored his actions as if saying: 'I know your to blame' However Snape smirked and Draco knew he was in the clear. Snape would never grass him up. He hated Gryffindor with a passion, and he wasn't going to see his best pupil get expelled at the hands of them.

Draco turned back to Blaise. "Do you think they'll be down for breakfast?" He asked as he raised and elegant blond eyebrow.

Blaise opened his mouth to answer, but shut it immediately when he saw the door to the great hall open.

The entire hall went silent. Draco, Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy, Tanya and Millicent smirked and didn't bother looking; they knew who would be standing there. The rest of the students however were in complete and utter shock.

Standing in the doorway was a fuming Harry, although, you would never know it was Harry; his body was covered in bruises, he had lost half his hair, his glasses were broken, he was limping, and he looked like he had had the shit beaten out of his 5 times. There was blood all over his face and his clothes were torn in some rather vulnerable places.

Pansy had decided to look "Shit....I didn't know the potion would do that!" At her voice the other Slytherins looked round.

"Bugger me!" Blaise yelled.

Draco was so shocked he actually DID fall off his chair.

Crabbe and Goyle choked on what they were eating.

Harry stormed into the room, and was soon followed by Hermione and Ron. They looked livid.

Hermione's hair was half the length it was before, her shirt was ripped, he cloak looked like it had been bunt and now came up to her hips, and she had a very swollen black eye. Ron was much the same, although his hair was sooty black, and one leg of his trousers was completely burnt to a crisp.

They stormed up to the head table, and were soon followed by the rest of the their house looking very much the same.

"Damn" Draco said under his breath. "What have we done?" Blaise looked at him.

"We have to find out what that potion was"

Harry, Ron and Hermione stopped infront of Dumbledore and muttered something to him.

Then Harry turned and glared daggers at Draco. Draco actually whimpered under his glare.

Then, with out warning, Harry marched over to the Slytherins along with Hermione and Ron. He stopped infront of Draco.

"YOU.FUCKING.ARSEHOLE!" He growled though gritted teeth.

"Now Potter....b-be reasonable-"

"Shut up Blaise!" Ron bellowed and hit Blaise hard across the face and set him flying off his chair.

"Potter.......listen we.....-"

"You can shut up too Pansy" Hermione roared and she slapped Pansy so hard a red mark began to form on her cheek .

Draco was now sitting alone with no one to protect him, with Harry towering over him.

"Potter.....I....I-"

"I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY MALFOY! You just can't let it lie can you? Well CONGRATULATIONS. You have successfully achieved in beating us at one thing. What ever that potion was you used, it has burnt our entire common room to mere ASHES. AND as if that wasn't enough, we have just taken Neville, Lavender AND Ginny to the hospital after they have suffered SERIOUS injuries!"

'Oh shit' Draco thought.

"YOU Draco Malfoy, are the LOWEST of the low. You are the scum of the earth. Just when everyone thinks you're changing for the better you go and pull a stunt like that. Well done, I'm sure your death eater father will be MOST pleased." And, with out warning, Harry smacked Draco so hard across the cheek, that an ear-piercing CRACK could be heard, as Draco's jaw was snapped in two.

Harry Ron and Hermione fled the room. The other Gryffindors followed. The hall stayed silent. That was however, until Blaise pulled him self off the floor and muttered to Draco:

"Happy Birthday Drake. I hope there are many more happy ones to come."
