chapter 9
Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy or any other characters that the amazing J.K. has created. But I have temporarily stolen them (as in Harry and Draco) and have them Handcuffed to my bed . . . naked. I'll take some pictures if you'd like.
Story talk: This chapter is going to be a bit boring. I threw in some nearly snoggness, because I love seductive Harry and you also get a little bit of seductive Draco. But not much, because seductive Harry is better. Anyway this chapter will be important later on. So bear with me and I'll put lots of snogging in the next chapter, also their first shag should come soon, but I don't want it until at least the 12th chapter and maybe even the 13th if I can. There will be more teasing and snogging though, and serious stuff to.
I will water the seed I have planted and their relationship will grow to make a big beautiful flower. Pretty Pretty Flower. YaY
Reviewers: Thanks to all my great reviewers. I love you all.
Authoress Ramble: I was writing my reviewers section and realized that I had started rambling there. I also realized that I had rambled in my Story Talk section as well as in my disclaimer. I think I have I slight addiction to rambling. It's just so much fun. Which was why I(unconsciously at the time) started making all the sections that I have. More reason for me to ramble. And really that's what the story is to. A ramble with a plot. And . . . --Draco (who somehow escaped from the handcuffs) covers authoress' mouth because he pities the poor readers and drags her away to a nice doctor, to help her developing mental problem--
authoress sadly waves god-bye sniff
Chapter 9
Imitaserum
Draco was laying in bed, Harry asleep under him. He knew he should get up, but the Gryffindors warm body was just to welcoming to leave. He lay there for a few more minutes before grabbing Harrys' wrist to check the time. It was ten after nine and they were supposed to be in potions ten minutes ago.
"Crap." The blonde said, as he reluctantly pulled away from the warm body under him. "Harry get up. Harry, come on we're late. HARRY"
The Gryffindor shifted a bit and said. "Ten more minutes, Ron."
"RON." Draco shouted. He pushed Harry out of the bed and climbed off himself; stepping on Harry in the process.
"Ow." Harry complained. "What was that for?" He asked as soon as he realized where he was and who with.
"That was for calling me Ron." He answered from the wardrobe, where he was finding Harry and himself some clothes. Harry just laughed and got up to grab the robe Draco was holding out to him.
"It's not funny, Potter."
"Potter?" Harry asked.
"Yes, Potter."
"Is that what going to do whenever I piss you off. 'Malfoy'?"
"You called me by the Weasels' name, I think Potter is going easy on you." Harry shook his head and grabbed Draco around the waist; pulling the blonde toward him.
"What if I don't want you to go easy on me." Harry said, with the smirk, before lifting his other hand and pulling Draco into a crushing kiss. Harry licked Dracos' bottom lip, asking for entrance and was granted. He explored Dracos' mouth for a few seconds before the blonde bit down, crushing Harrys' tongue between teeth.
"Thuck, Dayco."
"You said you didn't want me to go easy." Draco answered with a sly smile. "Come on, you're late for Potions."
"I'm late for Potions?" Harry questioned, getting the feeling in his tongue back. "What about you?"
"Snape despises you, he'll yell at you, and not me, just to spite you."
"Ahh. Now I get it. I knew there was a reason you were somebodies favorite student. I knew it couldn't be because someone actually liked you."
Draco sneered. "Shut up, Potter."
"I will if you make me, Malfoy." Harry said seductively.
Draco walked over to Harry seductively. He wrapped an arm around Harrys' back, pulling their bodies together. Leaning over to Harrys' ear the blonde whispered,
"We need to get dressed." And abruptly left, turning to dress himself.
Harry huffed and pulled on his school robes.
"You're taking my thing." Harry said once he was fully dressed.
"What!" Draco asked befuddled. Raising an eyebrow at the statment.
"My get-you-all-seduce-and-walk-away thing."
"Oh, that. Normal people call that teasing." Draco said as though he were talking to a three-year-old. "And you're not the only one who can be a tease."
"I know, but I liked it better when I was doing the teasing." Harry said as they walked out the door side by side..
"Honestly, so did I." Draco replied.
Harry quickly turned and pinned Draco against the, now closed, door.
"Really?" Harry said, lips hoovering just over the other boys. "Are you up for a little teasing right now, or do I have to get you up."
As Harry said the last, he thrust his hips into Dracos', bringing a gasp from his mouth.
"I don't want just teasing right now, Harry." Draco said airily.
"Oh." Harry whispered moving his lips closer to Dracos'. Their lips barley brushed. "That sucks, because I'm late for Potions." Harry said as he pushed away from the wall and walked away.
Draco tilted his head back against the wall and sighed. He closed his eyes and then pushed off the wall, himself, and followed Harry to Potions.
"Mr. Potter, explain yourself." Snape commanded after telling Malfoy that he could sit down.
"I was walking here, when Malfoy tripped me. I broke my leg and he had to carry me to Madame Pomfrey, to have it fixed."
Harry smirked at Draco when the professor turned away from him to talk to Draco.
"Is this true Mr. Malfoy?" Harry gave him a meaningful look, and Draco nodded.
"Yes, only he tripped on his own. I just happened to be around and kindly helped him there, because McGonagall was watching."
"Ten points from Gryffindor for lying. Now since you two arrived so late you will have to be partnered. We're making . . ."
Harry just tuned him out after that.
"McGonagall was watching?" Harry whispered, not even looking at Draco, so as not to get in trouble.
"I had to come up with something. We can't have people thinking, I actually want to help you, now can we?"
"Yeah well you could have agreed with you tripping me. I don't need another reason to lose points in this class."
"That was for this morning."
"You said you liked it better too."
"But not at that moment."
"But that's what makes it fun." Harry smirked finally, looking over at Draco. He was smiling also.
"Did you hear a word Snape said?" Draco asked.
"No!"
"Neither did I." Draco raised his hand. "Professor, Potter was distracting me. Would you repeat the instructions?"
"Yes, of course, Draco. Potter, ten points from Gryffindor, for distracting Mister Malfoy."
Snape told them the directions, again and the two set to work. They were supposed to concoct the imitaserum. One would brew the potion while the other read of its' history. The imitaserum was the exact opposite of the veritaserum. It helped you to lie and couldn't even be countered by the veritaserum.
"Here." Draco said as he handed Harry his book. They had already gotten the ingredients and the blonde had begun to set up.
"I suppose I'm reading while you brew."
"If you think I am going to let you attempt this, you are sorely mistaken. I don't want to fail Potions."
"HaHa." Harry said, then he began to read. "The imitaserum is a falsity potion. It enables the drinker to lie without any nervous side-affects. This is possible because the first three ingredients in the potion convince your brain that everything you are saying is the truth.
"This potion became widely known during the rein of You-Know-Who. Aurours used these potions to keep others from finding secret information during torture or conversation. It was also used by You-Know-Whos' followers to keep them from being put in Azkaban.
"This worked so well because unlike the veritaserum the imitaserum can last for weeks even months, depending on the order and quantity in which certain ingredients are used. It is believed that it could last for years, but nobody wants test that theory.
"The imitaserum can counter the veritaserum, because of the use of Pc'evdome Fita sap. The Pc'evdome Fita is a green plant that is only found in South Africa. When the stem of this plant is cut open, you will find its' blue sap. It is a key ingredient. This sap is what completes the imitaserum. It is also what determines how long the imitaserum will last. The more you add, the longer it lasts.
The Pc'evdome Fita sap is also what keeps the veritaserum from countering the , and the reason why the veritaserum is able to be countered by the imitaserum. The falsity potion only has one counter, Verita Fita sap. But this is no longer a problem, because the Verita Fita became extinct around 1888. This happened when the last field was burnt bear, during the troll revolt of 1888. In the veritaserum the Verita Fita sap can be replaced by Apando Fita roots, but since the Verita Fita is no longer available the veritaserum can not counter the imitaserum."
"That could be useful." Draco said as he stirred in the last ingredient on the list. "Ok, so we can't let it sit in the heat once I've stopped stirring, so go grab a flask to put it in and you forgot the Pc'evdome Fita sap as well.."
"I thought we already had those." Harry replied, trying to think back on when they got all their things.
"Would I be asking for them if we already had them?" Draco said raising his eyebrows and still stirring.
"No I just could've sworn I got them both." Harry then walked off mumbling to himself and counting something off on his fingers. As soon as his back was turned, Draco pulled a flask out of his pocket. He carefully, but quickly, pored the potion into it, corked it, and put it back in his pocket. He was stirring again by time Harry appeared with another flask and another container of sap, still mumbling to himself.
"I really think I got them. Are you sure you didn't lose it or something?"
"Potter, it's just a flask and sap, don't worry about it. Snape probably won't even know they're missing."
Just then the greasy-haired professor walked to the table where Harry had gotten the flask and sap..
"I'm missing a flask and a container of sap. Why has someone used two?"
"Potter broke our first flask and lost the container of sap." Draco said. Harry looked at him, wide-eyed.
"Mr. Potter, ten points for not being careful with the equipment. Ten more for losing such a valuable substance." With that Snape walked into his office. Harry glared over at Draco, who just smiled and shrugged.
Draco poured in the other container of Pc'edome Fita sap and stirred it until it turned a dark blue. He took the flask Harry had just brought him and filled it.
"I'll take this up." Draco said. When Harry didn't reply Draco looked at him. Harry hadn't even looked up. "Did you hear me?" Harry didn't respond. Great he's mad. How childish.
And I suppose you never childish?
Of course
I think you are.
I am not!
Right.
I am not childish.
You are.
Am not.
Are too
Am not!
Believe I just proved my point.
Did not . . . Shut up.
The bell rang as Draco made it back to his desk. Before he could even grab his bag Harry was out the door. He ran to catch up with him. When he got out the door he saw that Harry had gone to the left.
"Hey Potter." Harry turned around, he was standing in front of a tapestry of a famous snake charmer, giving the blonde a look that could kill. "We have a problem to solve." He said angrily
"And what problem would that be?" The raven-haired boy spat venomously. He was really angry, after what happened last night, how open the blood had been and suddenly he had decided to be a complete arse. He would not put up with it.
"Are you honestly that daft?" They had started to attract a crowd, as they always did. Harry shook his head and was about to walk away when suddenly Draco lunged at him sending them flying toward the tapestry. Harry
heard him say hydra right before they hit it. Harry was shocked to find that not they hadn't hit the wall. Instead they fell on the floor in an empty corridor outside the charms class room.
"What the hell?"
"I created that first year. I was always late for charms after I had potions. I later changed it and it now goes to wherever my next class is." Draco answered. His voice no longer angry. Not that he was ever really angry.
"I have to go, I'll be late for Care of Magical Creatures." He tried to walk away, but Draco grabbed his arm.
"You can use the tapestry, we need to talk." Harry pulled his arm out of Dracos' grasp and leaned against the wall.
"Fine talk."
"What's your problem?" Harrys' eyes widened. He could not believe the slytherin had just asked him that.
"My problem! You're the one that has been a bloody arse since we got to Potions."
"And what about now?" He asked, his voice the same calm that it had been before.
"You . . . well . . . That's not the point."
"It's exactly the point. Now we are alone."
"So you were never pissed?"
"No."
"Well the next time you're acting like you hate me can you not lose so many points for my house.'
"Fine, if I must."
"You must."
"I guess. Well you better go, you're going to be late for your class."
"I thought I could use the tapestry." Harry said walking over to it.
"I said you could, meaning it is possible, not that I would let you." The blonde answered with a smile.
"You have to let me?"He asked raising an eyebrow. He knew Draco was just being a pain because that's how he was. It took to much emotion for him to tell me that he wasn't seriously angry, so now he'll close up. Harry thought to himself.
"Yes." Harry thought he would say that, and had a nice sarcastic reply
"Why, is it you that has to say hydra. . ." With that he disappeared though the tapestry.
"Damn, I knew I said that password too loud."
