Chapter 27

The next day, Danielle Hermione, Parvarti and Lavender woke up in time for classes.

Danielle screamed, "Ahh!"

"What?" asked Hermione, Parvarti and Lavender.

"Jackie and Heather never came back to their beds last night. And neither did Nehal!"

"Oh no!" said Parvarti. "That isn't good."

Hermione said, "Oh honestly. Where else would they go?"

"Some place far away I hope." said Lavender

"Omg!" said Danielle. "Maybe they flew away to Neverland."

"Danielle, you do know that Disney movies aren't real?" said Hermione

"Of course I know that, but I love the movie Peter Pan. So I was just thinking that maybe they went off to Neverland with Jeremy Sumpter, you know the guy who plays Peter Pan in the real life version of the movie!" (Omg I wish he would take me to Neverland with him. He is so hot!)

"Like that's going to happen."

Danielle shrugged her shoulders. "It could happen!"

Meanwhile in Draco's room…

Nehal woke up to someone's warm body pressed against hers. She felt an arm draped over her waist, a muscular body pressed comfortably against hers and someone breathing deeply into her hair with their chin resting on her head. Nehal froze remembering where she was. She looked around the room, remembering where she was. "Ow." Nehal said touching her head. "How much did I drink last night?" Nehal then thought. "Why is Draco so close to me? He must have moved in sleep…or what if he made a move on me. Oh I'm gonna rip his head off."

Draco then woke up. He realized then what he was doing. He rolled over and cursed under his breath.

Nehal turned to face Draco and waited for an explanation.

Draco said, "I uh, didn't mean…"

"I know." said Nehal

"Yeah, I'm gonna take a quick shower. You can get changed here."

"But what if someone comes in?"

"Don't worry I locked it."

Just then Ian came in the room. "Hey Malfoy, can I borrow that cologne you always wear. The one that all the girls like…oh hello Nehal…"

Nehal blushed. "Hi."

"Was I interrupting something?"

Nehal and Draco looked at each other.

Draco got up from the bed and handed the cologne over to Ian. "Here you go. Don't use it all up Smith!"

"Don't worry I won't." Ian then took one fleeting glance at Nehal and left the room.

"So you locked it eh?" replied Nehal

"I forgot, okay? Oh man I have a bad hangover."

"Me too…anyways I'll just change in the walk in closet incase you know someone else comes in."

Draco rolled his eyes and went to take a shower.

Meanwhile in the girls' washroom, Moaning Myrtle was drinking left over Vodka from the party. "Mm…vodka is good." She then noticed that she wasn't alone in the washroom. She saw Jackie and Heather lying on the floor. "What do we have here? Two lesbians." Myrtle cackled with delight. "This could be fun."

Moaning Myrtle pulled Heather closer to Jackie, so she was lying down right beside her. Their faces were practically touching. She put Heather's arm over Jackie's butt and she put Jackie's hand on Heather's butt. "Now to spread some nasty rumors!"

Moaning Myrtle left the washroom and found Peeves in the hallway. "Hey Peeves!"

Peeves said, "Oh hello Myrtle. It's a great day for a water balloon fight, don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes it is. Anyways did you hear the latest gossip?"

"No what it is it?"

"Jackie Allan and Heather Reid are lesbians and they slept together."

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

Peeves laughed. "Don't worry I'll be sure to tell the others."

Soon everyone at Hogwarts knew about the rumor and believed it. Gossip was flying around the halls like rapid fire. And the gossip wasn't just about Heather and Jackie. But about Nehal and Draco being a couple.

Danielle walked into the great hall when Ian came running up towards her. "Hey sweetie, guess what I saw?"

"What?"

"Your friend Nehal was in Malfoy's room."

"You're kidding?"

"Nope. I got his cologne to prove it."

"But Nehal wouldn't go into his room, if her life depended on it!"

"Well she did, now smell me."

However Danielle didn't smell Ian. Her gaze landed upon Nehal and Draco walking into the great hall. They both were laughing at something.

"Oh Ian, this doesn't seem right."

Nehal saw Danielle and greeted her with a hug. "Hey Danie."

"Hi Nehal."

Draco gulped. "So Mcleod is it true that Jackie and Reid are lesbians and that they slept together?"

"WHAT?" yelled Danielle. "Where did you hear this from?"

"I heard it too." said Ian.

Draco said, "But it doesn't make any sense because Jackie kissed me last year so how could she be a…you know…"

Harry came up towards the group. "You people should just leave them alone and respect them for who they are!" He then stormed off to find Timmy and Crookshanks to tell them the news that they weren't the only gays in the school.

In the washroom…

Jackie slowly opened her eyes and saw Heather right in front of her. "Ahh!" She screamed waking up Heather who also screamed.

"Ahh!"

Jackie sat up. "What are you doing here?"

"Same reason why you're here." answered Heather.

"Why you overdosed on painkillers too?" Jackie put her hand to her mouth realizing what she just said.

Heather's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh! Jackie, why would you do something that stupid! You could end up in a coma!"

"I know." Jackie said sadly.

"Well then why did you do it?"

"To get rid off the pain."

"Jackie, I had no idea that you were doing this. How long has this been going on for?"

There was silence.

"Well?"

Just then Timmy and Crookshanks scurried in the washroom.

"Meow." said Timmy

"Timmy I can't talk right now."

"MEOW!"

Heather looked at Timmy. "There's a bunch of people waiting outside the washroom to see Jackie and I."

Jackie's eyes widened.

Heather shrugged her shoulders. "Their probably just wishing me a belated birthday."

"I don't think that's it."

"What do you mean?" asked Heather

"Why would people be gathered outside?"

"They want their turn in the washroom."

"No…I think Moaning Myrtle is behind this!"

"Come on! Class is soon and breakfast!" said Heather. "Mm...muffins." She and Jackie walked out the washroom door. Outside people had sings against lesbians.

"Weirdos!" said Jackie walking away. When she noticed Heather communicating with Timmy.

"Timmy says people think we're lesbians!"

"Say what?"

"Let's get something to eat and then we can sort things out."

"So she's not a lesbian?" asked Draco for the hundredth time.

"No!" said an irritated Nehal, massaging her temples in frustration.

"Well I thought maybe…after what happened." Draco trailed off. Nehal stared at her plate, but said nothing.

Danielle said, "You don't turn into a lesbian in a fortnight Malfoy! It takes time!" Ian and Draco both looked at Danielle. "But their not gay!"

Ian still looked doubtful.

"Ian? How many times-"

"Well…they spend so much time together…" Ian said slowly.

"That's because she is trying to avoid me." replied Nehal

"Why?" said Draco who was sitting across from Ian and beside Nehal at the Gryffindor table.

"She thinks…she thinks…she err guys I have some last minute homework to do." Nehal was about to get up when she saw Danielle shaking her head. "On second thought, I'll skip homework." Nehal sat back down again.

Jackie and Heather walked in the great hall and were greeted by rude remarks. Then Jackie saw Draco talking animatedly to Danielle and Nehal. "Heather! I need those pills."

"Why?" Heather followed Jackie's gaze. "Oh, let's go to the kitchens then."

So they went to the kitchens.

"Jackie, you know those pills won't solve the problems. And because of those pills you have more pain-this lesbian thing." said Heather. "If you hadn't taken the pi-ahh!" Heather tripped over a house elf.

They noticed Winky the house elf dancing on a table with a can of butter beer. She looked horrible. "That is what you'll turn into."

"Please Winky! Come down please." said Dobby.

"Stay away filth!" said Winky

"Burn!" said Heather

All the house elves noticed their presence.

"What would you like miss's?" asked Dobby

"Muffins!" exclaimed Heather

"Your wish is my command." said a house – elf.

"Instantaneous relocity."

"So fair, yet so cold. Like a morning of spring still clinging to winter's chill." said Winky to Jackie.

"Um…" said Jackie

Dobby looked at Jackie. "And what would you like?"

"Um…you wouldn't happen to have any pain killers, would you?"

"No I'm sorry miss we don't have any of those here."

Jackie sat down in a chair. "It's alright." She took a deep breath. "Everyone thinks Heather and I are lesbians and now I have no chance with Draco. Gosh I just want my old life back."

Heather took a bite of her muffin. "I'm sure everything will be alright."

Jackie smiled at Heather. She was thankful for her friend's support.

Just then Harry burst through the kitchens. The house-elves started worshipping him and saying, "Oh hail, Harry Potter!"

"No, not the TV!" yelled Heather. (Sorry gr. 9 English joke)

"There you guys are!" said Harry. "I've been looking all over for you!"

"So you can taunt us?" said Jackie

"No! Why would I do that? Your one of us now."

Jackie and Heather looked at each other.

Heather cleared her throat, "Er…Harry…Jackie and I are not who you think we are…we're actually aliens that dwell in outer space!"

"Knock it off Hey Hey and tell him the truth!"

"The truth right…what's the truth?"

Jackie stood up from her chair. "I'll take it from here….Harry we're straight!"

"So you mean?"

Jackie and Heather nodded their heads.

"Oh I see. Well everyone thinks that you are…not straight."

"I know." replied Jackie. "That's why were hiding out here."

"Well you're going to have to face them sometime."

Heather said, "Well what if we don't want too?"

"Then you'll be known as cowards for the rest of your life. Come on your Gryffindors!"

"Well what should we do?" asked Jackie

"Do the Britney – Madonna kiss in the great hall!"

"Say what?"

"I'll be Britney!" said Heather.

Jackie said, "Heather and I are not showing public displays of affection in the great hall!"

"Exactly!"

"I'm confused."

Harry said, "Well since everyone thinks you're…well you know…you announce that you're about to kiss but then you don't and Heather you can say that you have a boyfriend and then Jackie can break up with you in public. It will be great!"

Jackie and Heather looked at each other and agreed.

They walked into the great hall behind Harry. Every single pair of eyes were on them.

Jackie and Heather both blushed deep shades of red.

Harry stood up on the Gryffindor. He helped Heather up, who seemed more confident then this then Jackie.

Jackie whispered to Harry, "Harry I don't know about this."

Heather said, "Jackie this is your chance to be an actress. Show them what you got, because I know for a fact that you're a drama queen!"

Harry said, "Jackie, I know you're scared."

"Yeah of you." answered Jackie

"Jackie you've got to do this. Because if you don't someone's gonna have to give me a hand down because it's really high up here and I could fall and that would be embarrassing, more embarrassing. I'm doing this for you and Heather."

Jackie looked up at Harry; he put his hand out for her. She hesitated then smiled and got up with him and Heather. "Let's do this thang!"

Heather and Jackie both took big breaths.

Jackie said, "Hey Heather, I like your lip gloss!"

Heather replied, "Thanks, its honey kiss. Would you like some?"

"Sure."

Nehal and Danielle looked at each other in confusion.

Nehal said, "What are they doing?"

Danielle said, "There probably proving to everyone that there not lesbians!"

Jackie approached Heather. She had to make the impression like she was going to kiss her. So she and Heather had their tongues dangling out of their mouths.

Cory said, "Whoa this is way better then showgirls live in Las Vegas!"

Heather said, "I'm sorry Jackie. I can't do this!"

"Why not?"

"The bad new is I have a boyfriend. The good news is…"

"You're leaving him?"

"No. The good news is…I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico." (Omg do you guys remember those commercials, with the green lizard?)

"That's it! Omg, it is so over between us! I'm back to being straight." And with that Jackie walked off.

"I saved. I thought that meant something to you!"

Harry and Heather then got off the Gryffindor table. Heather pretended to cry while Harry comforted her.

They met up with Jackie who was waiting for them behind the corner. "So did it work?"

Harry looked back at the great hall, everything was back to normal. "Yeah it worked!"

"Yay!" Jackie and Heather hugged, but then pulled back remembering that they should lay low in the hugging department for a while, so no one would suspect them again.
