Disclaimer: I don't own anything Harry Potter-ish. Except for the Harry
Potter stuff I bought. I only own Vinca Salamot and Penelope Malfoy. Oh,
and the plot sorta.
Summary:AU. Draco Malfoy moves from his old home to a new town where he meets the ever popular Harry Potter. Will Harry's popularity get the best of him? Or will Draco be able to take him away from the crowd? Slash H/D!
Warnings: Slash...more slash...uh...and some OOC-ness (Mostly on Harry's part).
A/N: Now we see Pansy's way of "helping" Draco and we get to see how that teaser unfolds! Mwaha! Also, I forgot to acknowledge someone very important to the story and me. My best friend Crystal, you might know her as Daemonelf or on fictionpress.net (I don't know if that's what it's called I forgot.) as SilverDragonOfChaos. I really hope I got the name right. She has assisted me on this story so much. If it weren't for her you probably wouldn't have this chapter. She's helped me think of new ideas for the story (which I know you guys will like) and so forth.
Incase you all didn't know, this story went in the totally opposite direction I had planned for it to, so yeah. Most of the things I had originally planned wont happen, for better or worse, I don't know. The only thing I can be sure of is the ending, which is, for some weird reason, already written. I don't know whether you guys want an alternate ending or not. There are 3 different alternate endings: A, B, and C. So, I already have one written, but I have the other two partly written. Yeah. I'm not exactly a fan of AE's, so if you guys only want one, that's fine with me.
Dedication: The Marauders Dragon because it's the nicest review I have ever gotten! Thank you once again! hugs
"In order for all of this to work correctly, you must not fall in love with Harry James Potter."
Draco was shocked. Pansy actually thought that he would fall in love with Potter? He could never fall in love with a guy who picked on innocent people. Besides, Potter would never like him. He was just too...popular?
Shaking his head, Draco replied, "Pansy dear, you must be insane or something. The day that I fall in love with Potter, is the day that my mom admits that she is really Voldemort."
"I dunno, he does have those gorgeous green eyes and a killer body." Pansy said, turning Draco around so that he was looking at Harry. Draco wasn't surprised to see Harry looking back at him. They just kept staring at each other until Pansy said something.
"Amazing isn't he?"
"Yeah. I mean...no!" Draco sighed.
"Hey, I can give you a few pointers on the art of seducing if you want." Pansy waited for Draco's approval. When he nodded, she continued, "We can't talk about it here though. Come on, let's go into the bathroom."
They both snuck into the boy's restroom and into the last stall. Luckily there was nobody to see them in there. Finally, after Draco locked the stall door, Pansy started.
"Okay, first, you need to flirt a little. Not too much or else or else he might know what you're up to. Next, make sure you look nice. ALWAYS look your best. Wear some clothes that show a little skin, but don't make them too revealing. Oh, and don't forget to make contact with him. Just little gestures, like briefly touching his hand and putting your hand on his shoulder. Stuff like that."
Shortly after Pansy was finished explaining to Draco the "Rules of Seducing," the bell rang. Draco quickly said goodbye to Pansy and she had offered to call him later when she got back home. He then made for his next class, which was History. With a sigh, Draco calmly went through the rest of the day.
The hallway was crowded and bustling with a horde of rushing teenagers. Draco attempted to make his way through without getting killed. Everything was going smoothly until some kid had pushed him and he fell. Draco would have hit the ground and gotten trampled over, had it not been for the strong pair of arms encircling his waist. Draco didn't turn to see who had caught him because he was being led out of the hallway and over to the parking lot.
"You have to be more careful when you're walking through the corridors." He heard the baritone voice say. He knew who was behind him and he wondered if he didn't get scared or anything when the person held him, because he knew whom it would be.
Draco slowly turned around to face Harry, completely forgetting about the arms still around him. He mumbled a short "Thank you" and looked to the side. Then he had an idea. He would invite Potter over and he could start seducing him! Draco quickly turned his gaze back to Harry. Their faces were unusually close, and sometime during the time Draco came up with his idea, he had placed his hands on Harry's chest. They were in one of those poses that you would normally see in a romance novel.
Both boys blushed and separated when they realized what they looked like. Draco looked down at his feet and shifted from one foot to the other. Harry was looking up at the sky, scratching his head.
"Hey, do you wanna...come to my house?" Draco looked up at Harry and saw him smiling at him.
"Sure, can I get a ride in your car? I usually drive Ron home, but I'll just let him take my car." Harry said, his hands swinging about through the air. Draco laughed at his gestures and nodded in agreement. "Wonderful! Here comes Ron and 'Mione."
As Ron and Hermione approached, Draco looked away. Hermione smiled at Draco and Ron smiled at Harry. Hermione walked over to Draco and asked if she could speak with him. Draco didn't know what to do, so he just nodded dumbly and followed her as they walked away from Harry and Ron.
Hermione stopped and sharply turned around to face Draco once more. "You didn't tell me that Pansy Parkinson was your best friend."
"Er...I didn't think you would know her. How do you know her anyways?"
"Well, we met at camp. I was her assistant counselor, and so we hung out a lot. She always told me about this guy that she was a best friend with, but I don't remember her ever saying your name. She said you were such a nice boy and extremely fine." Hermione grinned and Draco blushed. "She also said that you were the only family she really had. (1)"
So this was the other friend Pansy was talking about? Hermione Granger? Draco never would have guessed. From what he had heard about Hermione, she was a straight 'A' student and a book worm. Pansy was the complete opposite. She never had good grades and she never read books that involved learning.
"Well, I feel the same way about her. I really ought to be going back now." Draco said and he and Hermione made their way back to Harry and Ron who were arguing. However, they both stopped yelling at each other and settled for glaring when they saw Draco and Hermione.
"We'll continue this later, Weasley." Harry spat out. He then motioned for Draco to take him to his car. Once they were in the car, Draco couldn't help but ask what they were arguing about. Harry had answered with a morose "nothing."
Draco walked into his room where Harry had been waiting. He handed him his coke and sat down on the bed next to Harry. Draco took a sip of his soda as he thought of something to say. 'What do you say when you try to seduce someone? Damn Pansy didn't explain that part!'
"So...uhm..." Harry mumbled, looking down at the floor.
"I wanted to ask you a question." Draco said, looking at Harry, hoping he would look back. He did. When Harry looked at him, Draco's breath caught in his throat. He stared at emerald pools and knew he could stare at them forever if he wanted to. Now wasn't the time to think about that though. Something had been nagging at Draco.
"Okay."
"Well, do you remember when I first met you and you said that you played basketball but you really loved tennis?" When Harry nodded, Draco continued. "Well I was wondering if you could explain why you don't play tennis. If you don't like basketball, just quit and join the tennis team."
Harry smiled. "Well... Everyone expects me to play basketball. If I played tennis I would be a loser. Nobody would talk to me or think I was cool. Tennis just isn't the sport you play if you want to be popular. Basketball is the school's pride, so naturally, that's what I'm playing."
"You'd rather do something to be popular instead of doing something that makes you happy?"
"Obviously."
Draco raised an eyebrow. He really did not understand what Harry was saying but he nodded anyways. Then he chuckled. "I don't understand you Potter."
"I guess you'll just have to figure me out then."
Draco looked at Harry and smiled. Harry wasn't that bad once you got to know him. 'But I don't know him and I don't want to.' Draco thought. 'Or do I?'
"So, Draco, How do you like Hogwarts so far?"
"Well...It's a nice place. Very big. There are some people that I don't really like." Draco smirked.
"Hm...Well, I can tell you what the people at school are saying about you."
This piqued Draco's interest. He'd been there only a day and already people are talking about him? Harry motioned for him to come closer and he did. He scooted until his leg was touching Harry's. He blushed but didn't move his body. Then he heard Harry take in a breath before he started talking.
"They say that you are one of the hottest guys in school, aside from me of course. They also say that you have the most beautiful eyes and an amazing smile. All the girls want to kiss you senseless." Harry whispered in Draco's ear.
Draco shivered at the feel of Harry's breath on his face. He turned his head to look up at Harry. 'He looks so beautiful' Draco thought. 'Wait, what did I just say?'
"And so do I." Harry mumbled as he leaned forward a little.
It took Draco a few seconds to understand what Harry was about to do and he was shocked to say the least. He hadn't expected everything to go so fast. Draco thought that it would probably take at least a few weeks, but all his plans were starting to come together in this moment. Draco's closed his eyes and waited for Harry to kiss him.
Just then, Penelope opened the door to Draco's room and said, "Draco, have you seen my-"
Draco and Harry jumped apart instantly, both blushing. Penelope was flabbergasted. Had she just walked in on her brother almost kissing a boy? Without warning, Penelope fainted. Her body fell to the ground in one quick movement.
Both boys rushed over to her unconscious body and lifted her onto Draco's bed. Once they had carefully laid her on the bed, Harry turned to Draco.
"I-I guess I should go now. It's been a pretty...exhausting day"
"Yeah... I'll walk with you to Ron's house if you want."
"That would be wonderful."
(1)"She also said you were the only family she really had" - I always say that my friends are my family, so I thought I would use it in here. Pansy and Draco have been together since they were born, and so it was only natural to me that they considered each other family.
AN: Well, there you have it! I tried to make this chapter a little longer for you guys because I said it would be out there soon, and I lied. I'm sorry. I kinda had a writer's block type thing. I just couldn't finish some of this chapter. I don't even know if I can finish this story anymore. I can try, but It's going to take awhile. I hope this chapter was to your liking. I'm trying to hurry with all the smoochie stuff, but if I had them kiss right now, that would seem a little...fast. I know you're probably all, "But you almost made them kiss in this chapter!" But they barely know each other, so why would Harry kiss Draco so soon? I would tell you, but that would ruin the story! I would expect their first kiss to be within the next 2 or 3 chapters.
Teaser:
The car started going faster and faster as it kept going straight. Harry's pulse quickened with every moment going by. He couldn't get the smile off of his face as the car grew nearer and nearer, second by second. The car never slowed down, and Harry never backed away and soon, the car was only a few feet away. The rest of it was like a dream to Harry as he heard Draco cry out his name.
Anywho, I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed. I've never had so many reviews in my life! I'm extremely happy! You should see the goofy grin I get on my face when I read the reviews. I was thinking about just thanking you all at the same time, instead of replying to individual reviews. It's really hard to do, and a pain in the bum! But...Then I decided to just continue replying individually. So, here are the responses to my reviewers!
dracoz-sexc-hunni: Yup. Part of his...shifty eyes SECRET mission...lol I know what you mean, I feel all special and happy when people respond to the reviewers individually. I also hadn't planned for Draco to go with Ron. It was originally planned out that he would be with Theodore Nott, but I decided Ron would be more surprising. My friend helped too. Harry/Draco- ness will be coming within a few chapters. Hope you can wait until then! Thanks! huggles
Yana5: Soon enough! Thank you! hugs
mojo-jojo241:Thank you! hugs
Chiquita-3: Uhm...Hello. I'm sorry you hate slash, and glad you like this. But uh...what exactly is..."this"? I'm sorry, I'm a little...stupid. I just didn't know. Thank you though! hugs
The Marauders Dragon: Hmm...Well, no. I wouldn't believe you. Would you believe me if I said this was probably the best review I have ever gotten since I've been writing stories on fanfiction? Lol You have been reading fanfiction for over 4 years? I've only read fanfics for a little over a year. I do agree that there is a lot of not so well written stuff, but it's other people's style of writing and I try to look past that. And sometimes I dont... I was never good at grammar, so It was really cool when you said my grammar was lovely. Just...Thank you for the whole review! It was extremely nice! hugs
MustIBeAMalfoy: I think I can add you into the next chapter chiclet. I've got most of it written out, so I know where you would fit in! Yay! This is gonna be so cool chiclet! huggles
BelleMalfoi: You reviewed the last chapter? Hmm...that's weird. I'm sorry ff.net is a "bee-atch" lol. I'm sorry. I'll try not to say anything bad about my story. I'm glad you love it. I thought Draco would make an adorable shy, blushing guy. I actually got the idea from all the stories where Draco's the all mighty one and Harry is the lowly piece of scum. I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if the roles were reversed?" and WHAM! I created this piece of...fiction... I agree that ron should suffer. After all he did to cute little Draco! Thank you! huggles
TomygurlAngel123: I got your review at the last second! I was just about to post this chapter when I noticed I had mail! Thank you! hugs
