The Woes of Harry Potter
Chapter Sixteen
Mr. or Miss. Zabini?
Disclaimer: Nothing you might recognise belongs to me
Harry was on his way to the library to meet up with Hermione, Ron and Ginny. He was strolling along, thinking about stories he'd read recently and how glad he was that he'd found the website. All of a sudden, he turned a dark corner and ran smack-bang into another student.
"Watch where you're going, Potter," snarled Blaise Zabini,
"Shut up, Zabini," said Harry and continued further up the corridor. He'd taken approximately fifteen steps when he realised that he'd dropped a sheet of paper that he had been carrying that had a story printed off the fanfiction website. He'd have to go back and get it.
Retreating back to the corner where he'd crashed into Blaise, Harry stopped in his tracks as he heard Blaise's smooth voice talking to Draco Malfoy. He hid around the corner and listened hard.
"What's that you're holding Zabini?"
"I don't know. Potter dropped it when he crashed into me just now,"
"Eww. Don't forget to take a shower then. He'll probably have slime from the Mudblood and Weaslette on him,"
"Yeah." There came a sound of a piece of paper being unfolded. "Hey, it's a story! Potter's been writing stories!"
Draco sniggered and took the paper. "It's about him and his friends!"
"Really? What a looser!"
"Actually, I don't think he's written it. Look it's got those words at the top that show it's off one of the websites that you can access on those stupid Muggle computers,"
"They're not that stupid, Malfoy. I've found some really good sites on Muggle torture techniques!"
"Show me. We can try them out after we graduate. Then we'll go on Potter's little site and see what else there is."
"Right. Let's go."
Harry heard footsteps coming his way and scrambled into a secret passage that he knew was nearby just in time. He listened until the two Slytherins had walked past and then leaned against the side of the passage. Malfoy knew about the website now. He smirked. Harry wondered what his reaction would be to finding slash stories about him and Harry.
"Where've you been, Harry?" asked Hermione, as he ambled into the library,
"I was unavoidably detained," replied Harry, as he gazed around. Aha! There was Zabini and Malfoy sitting by a computer. "I'll be right back…"
Harry slunk around behind all the computer users until he was just passing Zabini and Malfoy. He peered at the screen. They were searching through fanfiction.
"Merlin! Have you seen all these stories about our world?" said Zabini, in awe,
"They just all have to be about Potter and his sidekicks," grumbled Draco, "there should be one about the amazing Draco Malfoy and how pathetic Potter is…"
"Yeah. Hey Potter. What are you doing here?" said Blaise, swinging around and catching sight of Harry,
"Well," Harry said, putting on a thoughtful face, "maybe it's because this library is free for all students to use,"
"Don't be smart. Go and disappear back to the hole you climbed out of," Blaise replied,
"With pleasure. I'm not sure why you two good and mighty Slytherins are doing on a Muggle computer when you despise them so much…" said Harry, as he walked back over to his friends.
"Arsehole," muttered Draco, "come on, let's have a look. There's a list of characters here. Let's see what comes up when we enter your name!"
They did just that and had a look at the results.
"There's a romance story between you and Granger!" snorted Draco,
"Eww!" said Blaise, "I need to be decontaminated!"
Draco sniggered as he read the second one.
"Ah! There's one involving US as a pairing!" he shrieked, "get away from me, fag!"
"I ain't gay!" protested Blaise, "it's only a story, Malfoy!"
"Whatever. Look there's one between you and Pansy Parkinson!"
"Like I'd ever go out with that hag!"
"It could be worse. For example, this story had a threesome in it,"
"Blaise, Hermione and Harry Potter?" said Blaise, loudly. Many people turned to stare at him, including the Golden Trio and Ginny who seemed to be laughing helplessly.
"Next one, quickly!" said Draco. They clicked onto the next page.
They read the summary and just as they got to the end, Draco began snorting wildly. "Featuring Girl-Blaise!" he laughed, "Girl Blaise! Ha ha ha!"
"Shut up Malfoy!" said Blaise, "I'm not a girl!"
"Are you absolutely sure?" smirked Malfoy,
"Yes!" said Blaise, in exasperation, "what is this site anyway? It's spooky!"
"Having fun?" said a voice, behind them. Harry had returned.
"Is this your idea of a joke?" snarled Blaise,
"Nope," Harry replied, cheerfully, "it's a real site where Muggles post their stories about our world,"
"WHAT?" exploded Draco, "How do they know?"
"Just do a little research on your little bug friend, Rita Skeeter," Harry said and once again, returned to his friends.
Draco and Blaise turned to each other, each completely gob smacked.
