Harry Potter and the Average Asian

Harry felt himself go cold all over. It was a feeling almost like that of being near a Dementor. Not quite as bad, but somewhat painful as there were two fangs currently lodged in his jugular.

"ARRRGH." Harry thought.

Professor Snape was currently draining Harry's blood with his mouth. They had joked about Snape being a vampire, but surely he wasn't really a vampire..right? As Harry felt himself getting colder, and pools of grease from Snape's hair dripped onto his already exposed neck, he was thrown from Snape's cold hands.

"What in blazes are you doing you little chit of a girl!"

Harry looked up, his eyes somewhat glazed, and his hand around his neck. April was currently hugging Snape around his middle, as that was as far as she reached.

"Is it wrong to hug professors?" April asked, continuing to hug him.

"..Well.." Snape said vaguely before returning to his quest to get away from her embrace. It made him itch a little.

"Professor, WHAT were you doing!" Harry yelled. Student-teacher protocol was of no concern to him now. He now had a very painful hickey on his neck from none other then his most hated professor.

"Potter, you insolent fool! Did you not see those beady eyes, and see the oozing green goo that was only on one cookie served! The one cookie you happened to eat. Could you not put two and two together?" Snape answered back, sneering. He had finally escaped from April's hugging.

"Um..no?" Harry answered.

April giggled.

"I am by no means a vampire, Potter. Especially not a vampire in the muggle sense. You ingested an amount of NeéNeé potion that would surely prove fatal. I noticed this, as Dumbledore had left the Great Hall for a moment, plus the obvious fact that I'm a skilled potions master, and I noticed the substance immediately. The potion goes straight to your blood stream once it's touched your lips, and the only way I could stop it's poison would be to get it straight from your blood. Hence, one of your pulse points, which would be your neck." Snape looked quite exasperated.

"..Are you serious?" Both Harry and April said this at the same time, looking at each other in the process.

"No, I spend all my time making up stories of how I can touch your most distasteful self, Potter. It was the only way. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must alert the Headmaster." And with this, Snape flew off.

Harry lay panting, still recovering from the recent events. April sat next to him, patting his hand.

"Don't worry, Harry. You'll be ok now."

"..Yeah..yeah..I guess. I'm sorry, April. This night is probably not going all that great for you."

"No, No. It's ok! We can go inside and dance a little, if you want." April said, smiling. Harry nodded, and they walked hand and hand back into the Great Hall. Harry tried to ignore the moans coming from the bushes they passed.

Harry went to get some punch for both April and himself, so April stood chatting with Luna Lovegood, who was dressed as an emu. Just then, Draco, donned in pirate attire, approached her. Luna dreamily wandered off into a wall and fell behind a statue. April looked a little nervous.

"Hey beby." Draco said, winking down at April.

"Um..hi?" April said, giggling nervously.

"How you doing?" Draco said, trying to appear suave. He had an eye patch over one of his eyes.

"Um..fine..you? I like your eye patch." April said.

"I'm ok..you like my eye patch? It's not part of my costume. I really need it."

April gasped. "Oh my gosh! I am SO sorry!"

Draco began to laugh in his typical fashion. "No, I don't really need it. But I was wondering, now that you've ditched those Gryffindor mu-" Draco stopped, clearly aware that he wouldn't be getting anywhere with April, as she was smiling at Justin Finch-Fletchly nearby. "You want something to eat?"

At this, April snapped back to attention. "Oh, no, I'm not hungry."

"Have you even eaten today? You're really skinny, you really need to eat."

"Oh my gosh, no. I'm so chubby. I really need to lose weight." April sighed.

"April, I'm saying you're skinny. And I'm never nice. To anyone." Draco said. "Trust me, you're fine just the way you are. If anything, you need to eat more." He was starting to feel sick as to his telling the truth and being nice at the same time. This is not a Malfoy thing to do.

Just then, Harry returned with two cups of punch. "Here, April, I brought them both for you. I thought you might be really thirsty after all that excitement..What are YOU doing here?" Harry interrupted himself, glaring at Malfoy. Malfoy returned the stare and stalked off.

"Awww, he didn't even say goodbye.." April said sadly.

"Don't bother talking to him, April. He's nothing but a no-good BEEP"

"HARRY!" Hermione gasped from behind Harry.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Did you hear that beeping sound? No electronic devices can work inside Hogwarts, I read it in Hogwarts, A History.."

"Come on April." Harry said, ignoring Hermione and the bits of mice she had stuck in her oversized costume teeth. Harry quickly took April away from Hermione, who was now engaging a cactus blazoned with Halloween decorations in conversation.

With that, Harry and April danced several songs together. They even danced some slow songs, and Harry didn't even step on her feet.

The night soon came to an end, and the students gleefully, yet exhaustedly, trudged back to their dormitories. Harry smiled peacefully, as he watched April run off to the dormitory, chatting with Lavender, who's lipstick was smeared to about her forehead. Harry realized he hadn't paid much mind to Cho at all at the masquerade, despite April having dressed as her. Maybe this year wouldn't be so bad, what with April being at school and all. But there were some things that might stop that happiness from continuing..

Harry didn't notice the sinister, beady eyes peering from a cranny in the wall. And these eyes did not belong to a Ginny Weasley or Professor Snape.
