A/N:

Disclaimer: I had a dream last night that Harry Potter and his friends belonged to me. Sadly I woke up this morning with nothing but a purple, pink and silver bedroom, a pink mobile phone, loads of clothes, all of the Friends episodes on VHS and the Harry Potter books and DVD's so I took that as a there is no way on this earth that I own them!

Summary: Harry has defeated Voldemort and he leaves the wizarding world after graduating because all is not well there. He returns after a year and discovers that his life has changed dramatically. Theres a new enemy but who is it? We follow Harry's life as he learns that One night REALLY can change everything in a persons life.

I'm sorry for not updating again last night but from 7pm till half 11 I was in the company of a 5 year old who kept banging on about her dad's wedding and a 21 month old who's just too cute to ignore. And when I got home I was really tired so all I did was watch Most Haunted Live till I went to bed. My hours are back to normal at work now so chapters will be on time! Thanks for all the reviews again.

Anyways now onto our feature presentation. Here's Chapter 41. Enjoy!

Chapter 41 - The Worst Girlfriend Ever

Peyton stomped through the halls back to the Gryffindor common room.
She stopped outside the protrait of the Fat Lady who smiled at Peyton.
"So Miss Potter. How are you this fine day?" the portrait said cheerily.
"Oh I'm just great. Fucking peachy. Let me in please?"
"Password?"
"Gryffindor Rules."
The Fat Lady swung open on her hinges and let Peyton walk through.
Peyton stomped into the common room.
"Stupid fucking Malfoy's. They can't leave anyone alone can they? And as for Ellie - she always has to fucking interfere doesn't she?"
"Ahem, hi Peyt."
Peyton turned around and saw Nick sitting in an armchair like usual looking into the fire that was crackling away in the fireplace.
"Oh hi Nick. I didn't realise you were sat there. Um what are you doing there anyway?"
"It's the only time and place that I can get some privacy. Do you wanna talk?"
"Um yeah ok then."
Peyton and Nick sat on a sofa and talked for a few minutes.
"So Peyt, why are you so angry?" Nick asked.
Peyton then launched into the whole story of Matida Malfoy and the argument outside the Defnse Against the Dark Arts classroom.
All the time that she was talking, Peyton noticed that Nick had been staring at her.
"What? Is there something wrong?" Peyton asked him.
"No, I've just realised that you kind of look like Ellie."
"Well I am her sister - we have the same Dad."
Nick nodded and neither of them noticed that their heads were getting closer.
Suddenly their lips met and they started to kiss each other.
The kiss then got much deeper and Peyton was soon straddling Nick's legs and their hands were roaming over each others bodies.
Nick suddenly pulled away and looked at Peyton.
"You wanna go somewhere more private?" he asked.
Peyton nodded and they walked up to Nick's dormitory.

About half an hour later Peyton and Nick were laying in Nick's bed.
"Nick?"
"Yeah?" Nick answered.
"What's the time?" Peyton asked.
"Um about five, why?"
"Shit, I'm supposed to meet Dan now" Peyton said as she got out of the bed and pulled on her school uniform.
"Ok so we have just had sex and now you're worried about being late for your boyfriend?"
"Look it was a one time thing - it's never gonna or never will happen again. In case you haven't noticed I have a boyfriend who loves me and who I love very much, I'm happy with Dan."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes" Peyton said whilst biting her lip.

"Hiya babe" Peyton said as she sat down at a table in the library.
"Oh, hi Peyt" Dan replied.
"Did ya miss me?"
"Of course. Why are you late?" Dan asked.
"Oh I lost track of time. Sorry."
Dan nodded then bent down and lightly kissed Peyton on the lips.
Peyton began to write her Basilisk essay and found herself thinking about what she had just done.
Oh my god, I have just cheated on him and I just lied to him. I am the worst girlfriend ever she thought.
Suddenly she snapped back to the real world because Dan was trying to get her attention and had now resorted to pushing her.
"What?" she asked.
"What's the Ministry of Magic Classification for the Basilisk?"
"Look it up."
"Peyt" Dan whined.
"Look it up Dan. I'm not doing your homework for you."
And with that Peyton gathered her things together and stormed out of the library.
"By the way the Ministry classifies the Basilisk as a known wizard killer or impossible to train or domesticate" Peyton said as she stomped away.

A couple of weeks later Peyton was still distant with Dan and Maddy was angry at Harry because he and Ginny had eloped one weekend to go and get married and didn't think to tell the twins.
Peyton would sit away from Dan in classes, at mealtimes and in the common room.
One evening she was sat on her own when she saw Ellie talk to Dan.
"What's wrong with Peyton Dan?" Ellie asked.
"Dunno, it's as though she's not my girlfriend anymore."
"Go talk to her."
Dan nodded and walked over to where Peyton was sat.
"Peyt can I talk to you upstairs please?"
Peyton nodded and they walked up the stairs to Dan's dormitory.

Once they were upstairs Dan shut the door.
"Silencio" he muttered.
Peyton looked at him.
"Why aren't you talking to me?" Dan asked her.
Peyton nodded.
"Damn it Peyt. Stop with the fucking silent crap. Answer the question."
Peyton looked at Dan.
"Kiss me" she whispered.
"What?"
"Kiss me now" she said a bit louder.
Dan walked towards Peyton and kissed her lightly.
Peyton deepened the kiss and put her arms around Dan's neck.

After a few minutes she slowly dragged her hands down his body and started to unbutton his trousers.
Dan pulled away.
"Peyt? What are you doing?" he asked.
"Don't you want to?" she asked, tears filling up her green eyes.
"Yeah but I thought you weren't ready?"
Peyton smiled very sweetly at Dan.
"Oh who can resist that smile?" Dan said before he kissed Peyton again and began to take her clothes off.
After they succeeded in removing all of their clothes, they both walked towards the bed not breaking the kiss and toppled onto it.
