NayNymic ~ They might find out. Depends, really, on how good they are and how much better Harry and Seamus are. But that would be funny if Ron and 'Mione found out that way.
Ice Lupus ~ More it is then.
Obsessed ~ Yep, Harry's sleeping on Draco's pillow. Isn't it sweet? And thank you for keeping the curse and threats for later. I feel so unthreatened when writing this fic.

xikum ~ You laughed and laughed? I'm glad to have that effect! I cant believe they're going to try and set them up with girls either. Wait, as the author I cant really say that, can I?

Usagi Serenity Yui Cosmos ~ Don't you hate it when other halves take you over? I don't really have another half, but my muses tend to be real pains. Especially Sylvan. I blame everything on him. Uh, the prequal to 'The World's Last Hope is Who?'...I don't know if I've got the time to write that. But I am working on my other fics!
Shinigami ~ Mad? Draco's probably going to hex Harry to next week when he finds out! And if only one of the Slytherins or McGonagall had a camera...
EsriTrax ~ Thank you. And the update is....*drumroll*...now! Sorry, I got a little carried away.

Harry, Seamus, And The Master Plan
By Silver Wolf
Chapter Twelve ~ Cat Food, Boredom, And A Catnip Filled Mouse
Seamus was sitting with Remus in the DADA professor's office, trying to think up something to do. It just wasn't right to let Harry have all the fun!
"Thought of anything yet, Seamus?"
"Nope. Why don't we go down to dinner?"
"Good idea. Meet you back here afterwards?"
"Sure."
The two of them headed to the Great Hall.
"Hey, I wonder if Harry's gonna get any food tonight?" Seamus wondered.
Remus laughed. "Well, if Malfoy's adopted him, he's got to feed him!"
Seamus sniggered. "I'd feel sorry for Harry if Malfoy fed him cat food!"
The two of them laughed all the way to the Hall.
When they got there, they split up and sat at their respective tables.
Seamus couldn't help but think that Ron, Hermione, Dean and Lavender were up to something. It was the way they were looking at him, a 'we're going to exploit your deepest secrets to the world, throw you in a torture chamber and make you kiss Snape' kind of way.
Needless to say, it made him a little nervous.
"Uh, hi guys," he said as he sat down.
Hermione smiled at him. "Hello Seamus. Any idea where Harry is?"
He shrugged. "Nah, haven't seen him since earlier. We were talking to Professor Lupin. Don't really know where he got off to."
Hermione looked disappointed, Lavender looked sceptical, Ron amused and Dean annoyed.
"But he's your friend, Seamus, you're not supposed to just let him go off on his own," the blonde girl said.
Seamus rolled his eyes. "So you expect me to be at his side all the time, even when he's in the toilet or on a date?"
"So he's on a date then?" Dean asked with a smirk.
"Of course not! Honestly Dean, you do tend to take things the wrong way. I just meant that I can't be expected to spend all my time with Harry. We're friends, sure, but we've both got lives!"
Ron nodded. "You're right. Hermione and I don't spend all our time together either, do we?"
"Hey, that reminds me," Lavender said. "Where did you two get off to during lunch?"
Dean grinned. "Yeah, good question!"
Seamus snorted. "They were probably snogging in a cupboard or someth - Ow! 'Mione, what did you hit me for???"
She smiled sweetly at him. "Nothing Seamus, I just thought that particular train of thought needed to be derailed."
Dean and Lavender just grinned, while Ron's face went red.
"So where were you really?" Dean asked, getting the conversation back on track.
Hermione frowned. "Some idiot locked us in the Defence classroom!"
"Er, would that idiot be Professor Lupin?" Lavender asked, smiling in amusement.
"Oh honestly, Lavender! Well, yes it was, but some idiot used an adhesive charm and a silencing spell to stop him noticing us! We couldn't get out until Professor Lupin let us out!"
Ron nodded. "I'd like to get hold of whoever did it, so I can kick their heads in!"
Seamus tried to look innocent, and not terrified of Ron. "Whoever did it probably covered their tracks, Ron, no one could find out who did it."
"Maybe the Five can," Dean said with a laugh.
Seamus turned back to his meal with a gulp. There was a slight possibility of those irritating third years catching them out. He'd have to tell Harry, and they'd both have to keep an eye out for the Five.
* * * * * *
'Bored, bored, bored, bored, hungry, bored, hungry, hungry, bored. Dammit, I hope Malfoy has enough brains in his blond head to bring me some food! And a kitty toy! One of those cool catnip filled mice like McGonagall has. Hm, maybe she'll let me borrow it one day, I'll tell her I have a cat, or that Hermione wants it for Crookshanks - Oh joy! I smell food! Please be chicken! I think it's chicken! Wait, please be Malfoy!'
If Harry hadn't been a cat, he'd have grinned at the sight that met him as the door opened. No, he'd probably have laughed.
Blaise had opened the door, trying to hide an amused grin, and held it open for Draco.
The blond stepped inside, arms full. He was carrying a plate of food, which Harry could tell by the smell was chicken ('Yes! Chicken! I always knew Malfoy had good taste!'), as well as a plastic bag. Harry couldn't tell what was in that bag, but for some reason he got a bad feeling about it.
Harry's fears were confirmed after his hunger was satisfied. Having eaten all the chicken, and cleaning his whiskers, all he really wanted to do was curl up and sleep somewhere. Unfortunately, the evening didn't go according to plan (well, not his).
Harry sat on the edge of Draco's bed, while the blond dug through the bag. Blaise wasn't bothering to hide his amusement anymore, and it was all too evident why.
Draco Malfoy was a closet cat fan. The bag contained one of Harry's worst nightmares, or to be more accurate, something he hadn't thought of. A collar. It was plain black leather, with silver stitching.
'Oh crap, I wont be able to change back with that damn thing around my neck!'
After Draco had fastened the collar around Harry's neck, he reached back into the bag. Harry just hoped that he hadn't decided to get a lead along with the collar, because Seamus would never let him live it down.
But no, Harry was lucky. There was something else in the bag.
"Uh, Draco? Are you serious? You really bought a catnip filled mouse for this furball?"
Draco looked offended. "You had better not be insulting Felix, Zabini, because you wont live to regret it if you are."
'A catnip filled mouse? For me? Oh Malfoy, you shouldn't have! Wait, yes you should have!'
With that last thought, Harry pounced on the mouse, knocking it right out of Draco's hand. Happily he batted it around, chewed it, and eventually decided that it would make a nice pillow, so he lay down and placed his head on it.
"Draco, I hate to say it, but your cat's a loony."
Draco was silent for a moment. "You're right, Blaise. I've never seen a cat go that crazy over a toy."
'And never again after me, unless you meet Minnie on a dark night in her office...........*shudder* Perish the thought, perish the thought. It was bad enough when I did. I don't think poor Malfoy could handle it!'
Later that night, Harry hadn't heard anything incriminating from the Slytherins, and was getting tired.
Apparently, the boys felt the same, as they changed for bed. Harry looked away as they did so. Seamus would be disappointed in him.
After they had gotten into bed, Harry realised he didn't really have anywhere to sleep.
"Felix? Where are you?"
'Well, that solves that problem,' he thought as he jumped onto Draco's bed. 'Now, where to sleep? Not the end, he might kick me off. Not the middle, he might grab me or roll on me. Hm, how about the pillow?'
With that, he crawled onto his rival's pillow, curled into a ball and tried to sleep.
Just as he was drifting off, he heard Draco's voice.
"We'll have to work on the plan tomorrow, Blaise."
"I know, Draco. Say, did you notice that Potter wasn't at dinner?"
"Of course I noticed, you dolt. What was Finnigan's problem, I wonder?"
"I heard Granger mention the Five. Maybe they're investigating him?"
"Don't know. 'Night Blaise."
"Goodnight Draco, Felix."
"'Night Felix."
"Meow." 'Goodnight Malfoy, Zabini. Please don't wake me too early.'
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Let's all hope that Draco and Blaise sleep in for Harry!
Anyway, Please Review. I have a test in science tomorrow, so after suffering through that I can read reviews! It'll cheer me up and I'll be more prone to write then!
