Kind of a silly chapter ahead...
Chapter 9
Making her Jealous
Larissa got to Gryffindor Tower with dreamy eyes. She had no idea what was wrong with her, but she felt lightheaded, and warm and fuzzy inside. The blind date hadn't been bad after all. After being in the Three Broomsticks for a while she and Draco actually started something and they even left together to enter different stores. They actually had fun and Sa felt strange thinking that she actually had fun with Draco Malfoy. There was someone who didn't seem very happy to see her with Draco and it was Ron. Sa could easily notice it as Ron gave her a very strange look and a glare as if telling her to leave Draco already, but Sa ignored the redhead. She wondered how Ron was going to treat her when he saw her. He would probably be very angry.
Sa waited for her friends in front of the fire thinking about her date with Draco and about their kiss. The kiss had been wonderful. She had to give Malfoy credit for kissing. He knew how to kiss very well. So far, her only previous kiss had been Cho Chang in 5th year and it hadn't been that great because Cho had been crying. Draco had been the second person to kiss her, now several times, and it was very very nice, especially this last one.
Hermione and Ron arrived at the common room and they were quarrelling. Sa quickly alerted her ears and could hear very well what they were quarrelling about.
"Then you shouldn't have arranged her blind dates behind my back!"
"I hid it from you precisely because I knew you wouldn't approve!"
"WELL OF COURSE I WOULDN'T APPROVE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GIT, MALFOY!"
Hermione rolled her eyes and stomped to the girls' dormitory ignoring Ron yelling after her. She wasn't going to continue the stupid discussion with the narrow minded Weasley. Sa was the one that felt uncomfortable then as the other girl disappeared upstairs. Ron had already turned and was now glaring at her. "Why were you with him? Plus you kissed in public! You bloody kissed in The Three Broomsticks! Do you know how fast the rumour is spreading? Plus I was there! Unfortunately, I cannot undo rumours of something I saw with my own two eyes! Have you gone mental?"
Sa sighed: "They will only assume that Draco fell for the new Gryffindor. That's all. They don't know who I really am except for a handful of students, Ron."
"So it's Draco, now? Are you already on a first name basis with that git?"
"Calm down, Ron." Sa went into deep thinking at that question. Actually, she was the one using the first name. During their whole time together, Draco had called her 'Potter', although during their detention cleaning toilets Draco had called her Larissa, just that time.
"You want me to calm down? Now that's funny!" Ron started to laugh nervously before addressing the other one again in whispers. "The problem is that Larissa does not exist. Harry Potter exists and Harry Potter with Draco Malfoy is a major no-no. Can you understand what I mean, Harry? Can you? You and Malfoy..." Ron crossed his arms in front of him forming an 'x' plus he shook his head at the same time. Sa wondered if Ron was thinking that she was retarded and needed non-verbal language to understand what he was saying.
"Ron, believe it or not I do understand your point. Let's just say I'm still confused about this situation."
"Of course you are confused! That girl curse has clouded your mind!" Ron started to breathe several times trying to definitely calm down and then sighed. "I'm worried about you, mate. Unless you think you are going to be a girl forever I can foresee major disaster ahead without being Trelawney."
Sa, who had been feeling happy and joyful after her date with Draco, was now feeling horrible. Did she want to stay as a girl? Would she remain as a girl? What was going to happen? Ron did have a point and Sa didn't even want to think about it. The happiness she had felt after the kiss and the almost development of her and the Slytherin as a relationship now felt like water escaping between her hands. "I don't feel very well, Ron. I think I'm going to the dormitory."
Ron gave her a sympathetic look before watching her leave, a tug of guilt inside him. Maybe he was overreacting and Malfoy deserved a chance, but still, it was something hard for him to accept.

Draco wasn't getting any better welcome than the one Sa had received from her friend. In fact, Draco's welcoming committee into the Slytherin common room had been disastrous. Everyone was yelling at him and the yells were so many that he couldn't even figure which Slytherin student was speaking. They were enough to give him a headache and if it wasn't for Snape arriving at the common room all of a sudden, Draco thought he would be murdered then and there.
As Severus Snape entered everyone went silent. He glared at all of the students before asking: "What is the commotion about? You're annoying voices can be heard half through the castle! Do you think I enjoyed needing to be fetched by the other heads of houses to check what was going on in here? I want silence. What is the problem anyway?"
Pansy Parkinson was sobbing and between sobs managed to say: "Dra... Draco... ki-ki-kissed... Mc... McGonagall..." She started to wail as she finished stating her point.
Draco tried to confuse Snape with the first thing that came to his mind: "I haven't kissed any teachers, sir."
Snape smirked before saying: "Do not try to get wise with me, Mr. Malfoy. Please come to my office. Now." Pansy was smirking when Snape spoke to white blonde boy.
Draco had to follow the Potions Master to the teacher's office dreading what would happen. He still couldn't believe Pansy had betrayed him like that, but she seemed to have an obsession with him so he had to guess that it was to be expected.
In the office, teacher and student sat and the teacher gave the student a curious look: "So? What happened?"
"Pansy already said, sir," replied Draco seriously and with a lowered gaze.
"How did it happen?"
"I think I..." Draco was about to say that he loved Potter. Had he gone mad? "I am confused, sir."
"Just remember, Mr. Malfoy, that I am still looking for a cure to that curse."
"Yes sir."
"You may leave."
As he left, Draco saw Professor Snape pressing his eyes with his fingers. The Potions Master hadn't yelled at him, but for some reason Draco felt worse than if he had been yelled at. He didn't know what he was going to do. It seemed that everyone would be against him if he got into a serious relationship with a Gryffindor. At least no one in Slytherin knew the truth about Larissa McGonagall and Harry Potter being the same person, but he knew perfectly well that in Gryffindor there were those that knew the truth. Even a Ravenclaw knew the truth, but that loony girl would probably ignore the situation. The problem was the others. How were they going to treat Larissa/Harry? Draco had no idea which of them would fare worse.

Pansy Parkinson was angry and hoped that Draco would get yelled at and punished by their Head of house. Of course, she also had her own plans. Whether the plans would be innocent or not depended on Draco's cooperation, but for now, she would do everything in her power to cause the McGonagall girl to hate Draco. It was a first step.
During dinner time, Pansy quickly got to her plans. She waited for Larissa to show up with Granger and as soon as the black haired girl looked in the direction of the Slytherin table, Pansy grabbed Draco and kissed him. Draco tried to put his arms in between to push the girl that was seated next to him away, but his hands were placed exactly on Pansy's breasts to his own horror. Still, he pushed with all his might and scowled at her, but Larissa had only seen Draco and Pansy's lips locked and Draco's hands being placed on the girl's boobs. After only watching this, Sa sat down in Gryffindor table looking very pale.
"Sa... I..." Hermione didn't know what to say. She almost wanted to kill Malfoy at that moment and started to think that perhaps Ron was right and what she had done had been completely wrong. There were already murmurs in Gryffindor table and Ginny came to sit with Hermione and Sa. Sa was very silent and started playing with her dinner.
"Ha... Larissa." Ginny cleared her throat. "I don't think you should trust Malfoy. Many just saw what happened. Maybe after having cursed you he just wants to have sex with you now. I was actually hoping that he was changing, but what I just saw..."
"I'm not made of glass! I'll be fine!" With that, Larissa took enough food to choke on and put it into her mouth before suddenly breaking and mumbling something that couldn't possibly be understood as speaking with all the food.
Hermione looked like she wanted to disappear, but managed to pat Larissa's back. "What is it that you wanted to say?"
Sa swallowed and suddenly said in tears: "I want to choke with my food!" She quickly dried her eyes with her sleeve and suddenly stood. "I can't be here. I feel strange. What is wrong with me?" She started to run away from the Great Hall.
Pansy looked very pleased with herself and turned to Draco. "She saw me kiss you."
Draco almost choked with his dinner before asking: "WHAT?" Pansy simply smirked at him and he turned to Gryffindor table and saw Sa was gone and Hermione and Ginny were seemingly yelling for the girl that was Harry Potter to come back. He stood up and ran in the same direction the two Gryffindor girls were yelling to.
Draco looked everywhere feeling very nervous, but couldn't see where the black haired girl had gone to. He figured that she couldn't be far then and started to check classrooms until he found her. She was hugging her knees on the floor. "Hey!" he managed to say, making the girl look at him, but the look turned into a glare.
"What game are you trying to play at, Malfoy?"
"Did you see everything?"
"Yeah."
"So you saw me push Pansy back."
"No. I saw you touching her breasts."
Draco sighed and rolled his eyes. "So you didn't see me break the kiss and scold her and to make matters juicier, you are jealous."
"I am not jealous!"
"You aren't? Then why did you run away instead of ignoring it?"
Larissa opened her mouth, but closed it. She stood up then. "So what's your explanation?"
"Pansy is obsessed with me and probably kissed me on purpose. Satisfied?"
"I'm not sure I believe you."
"I came running after you, didn't I?"
"You could be just trying to make a fool of me because you know who I really am. You cursed me and now you are trying to break me."
Draco looked stung by those words. He certainly didn't expect Larissa to say such a thing. "I don't know how good my word will be in this, but I swear I am not trying to do such a thing, Po... Larissa."
Draco approached her, but she didn't move. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her very tight. It took her a whole minute to embrace the Slytherin back, but she did. She had been jealous indeed and that could only mean one thing. She didn't want to lose Draco and she was actually afraid of losing him. How had it happened? How in Merlin's name had she fallen for Draco Malfoy and Draco for her? It was almost like it had only been one step from hate to love.
Suddenly Draco lifted her and Sa gasped. He started to carry her and she wondered where was he taking her. "Err... Draco? Where are we going? I can walk, you know? This is embarrassing."
The blonde boy smirked, making the green-eyed girl flinch and simply took different flights of stairs. Larissa's heart was beating fast and loud.
