A/N: This is a pilot chapter just to see how much hype I'm going to get out of this. That does not mean that if I don't get enough reviews I'm going to quit this story. It only means that this chapter is short because I want to see my readers reactions. No matter what the reviews I'll still continue this fic.

Only If - Chapter 1: To Potions
"Hey Potter!" Harry turned to see who had called his name, not that he needed to. Harry knew full well who had called his name in that slow, board, annoying, snobby...well lets just say he knew who it was. It just figured that this particular person would wait until they were out of sight of any professors in an empty corridor to call upon him so as to not be caught pestering the Boy-Who-Lived.
As he made way to turn though, the same voice also said, "Catch!" and Harry was clocked in the head with what looked like a cross between a bug of some kind and a slug, neither of which Harry would have been happy to be hit with and a combination of the two only made it worse.
The goopy substance that the creature was emitting had also made the animal stick to Harry's shoulder length hair causing the already furious tuff of black to become even more distraught. While all of this was going on the young Malfoy was laughing uncontrollably at his latest conquest over Potter.
"Oh shut it Malfoy!" Hermione said as she tried to pull the slug-bug off of Harry's head quite unsuccessfully. Ron was at Harry's side as well, but was in a more of a heated mood about the whole ordeal than Harry or Hermione.
"You know Malfoy," Ron began. "you should learn to grow up! Just because Harry helped put your father in jail for being a Death Eater prick doesn't mean you should keep making his life a living hell!" Ron was venting now, his hands already balled into fists ready to pounce on Malfoy.
Malfoy had stopped laughing by now and so had his two lackeys. "You know Weasel," He began. "I think it does. And I also believe that you and your bottom feeding mudblood girlfriend should stay out of my personal quarrels."
"Why you-!" Just as Ron was about to jump on the Slytherin prince a hand placed itself on his shoulder.
"Yes, Mr. Weasley?" Came the voice of Professor McGonagall from behind him. "Is there something I can help all of you with?"
"No professor." Said Ron dryly as he stepped away from Malfoy and moved back over to Harry and Hermione.
"Well that's a relief." She said with a cherry sigh as she turned to leave then turned back as if to have an after thought for the whole group. "And Mr. Malfoy. Any more harassment of my houses students for any reason will result in a weeks worth of detentions scrubbing floors with a tooth brush. Are we clear?"
Malfoy glared daggers at her and then smirked arrogantly. "Crystal." He said and then went to leave saying to Harry as he left, "Seems you need to work on your Seeking skills Potter, looks like you getting a bit rusty." His eyes motioning to the slug-bug now crawling across Harry's hair.
As they watched the Slytherin's retreating backs McGonagall said to Ron, "Also Mr. Weasley, any more trouble out of you and you'll be joining him."
Ron looked chest fallen at the thought and sighed a heavy "Yes Professor." She then looked over the creature glued to Harry's head. "Some peanut butter should remove that. Good day."
A/N:
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter. No smutt for a while, I'm one of those move at a good pace authors. Rushing it usually doesn't have the same effect as taking the story at a steady pace. Also, I don't have a set day I update, I just do it when ever, but you can expect updates about every other week at least if not sooner.
