December 31st, 1998, London

Hermione and her mother, Laura Granger, walked into a hair salon.
Hermione's bushy hair needed taming as they were supposed to attend this Dentist New Year's Gala, an event involving all the best dentists of the country and many important people would have participated.
As Hermione and her mum sat on the chairs, the daughter noticed someone she knew sitting three seats from her.
It was a girl who was sitting next to a guy she apparently found attractive, as she would smile at him and play with her hair from time to time.
It was Pansy Parkinson, her old bully.
She found it as a surprise to see her in the muggle world, as Slytherins never had muggleborns.
She must have been halfblood.

She didn't know whether she should say hi, since they now had a mutual friend, but they didn't really see eye to eye.

When the Slytherin girl bent down to pick up something she'd apparently dropped, Hermione wondered if that had been her wand.

The guy she had been flirting with had dark brown hair and blue eyes and he didn't look British.
He must have had French origins.
French.

Present day, Hogwarts

"Pansy?" Harry said, in shock.
Just as Draco had predicted. It was Pansy. His friend and confidant, Pansy.
"Surprise, Potter." She said, covering herself with her over-sized robe.

"Harry, Draco!" said a puffing Hermione, she had just arrived there after an extenuating race up the moving stairs. Ron was there with her, too.

"Jean Jacques is Pansy! She just took the polyjuice potion!" said Ron. "Oh, they know already."

Draco couldn't believe it. He had trusted Pansy. He had forgiven her for ruining his life and she had not been honest about it. Her tear filled apology had just been for show. He should have known.

He'd seen that Harry had raised some eyebrows at his and Pansy's reconciliation.

Now, he knew why his boyfriend was so wary of her.

"Pansy, why?" he asked her, apathetic. "This is why you were never in the same place at the same time as Jean Jacques and why he suddenly disappeared! That's why you were so elusive... what a fool I was, thinking that you were having some sort of trouble! That's why he'd wake up at 5am! And why a flask would never leave his side. It was the polyjuice potion, not a sickness remedy. "

"Because I am in love with you, Draco! Can't you see? I have always loved you, given you everything, while that goody goody Potter screwed you once and got you under his spell!" Pansy shouted. "I thought I had to make you both pay. I figured, if I had transformed into a boy, I could have seduced you, thus separating you two. And I had made it!"

Harry had to fight the temptation to rip all of her hair off, piece by piece.

"Ron, do you still have the veritaserum? I guess little miss double face here has some explaining to do." he simply said, seeing something in the distance.

"You read my mind." said Ron. he took the vial of the truth potion out of his pockets and gave it to his best friend.

Then, the Weasley boy tackled Pansy so that she wouldn't be able to escape.

"Let me go!" She screamed, trying to wiggle away, but Ron's grasp was too vigorous.

Harry grabbed her by her neck, then he forcefully poured the content of the vial down her throat.

"Tell us your plan in detail." He hissed, stone cold.

Then, the Slytherin girl spat the truth out like it were bad medicine.

"The first thing I needed to do was to get back into Draco's grace.

Easy, I thought, since he had been brainwashed by fucking Potter. All I had to do was drop an act. I have always been a good actress, ever since I was a kid. I would get innocent people into trouble with my amazing acting techniques, just for fun or to save my own skin.

When I saw the disgustingly cute couple out and about in Hogsmeade, wearing each other's scarf, I thought it was just the right time. In a fervent jealousy, I approached you and I pulled my most regretful face - the crying bit was the easiest. I also made myself a tad bit goofy and cute - I knew Draco wouldn't have been able to resist me. So, after he forgave me, I had to come up with a plan to destroy the happy couple. My initial idea was to brew a love potion, but I couldn't get my hands on one, no matter how hard I tried. So, I moved on to plan B, brewing the polyjuice potion to become Potter. But, on New Year's Eve, in a muggle hair salon, a better opportunity presented itself.

This Foreign Exchange guy, who was sitting next to me, had struck up a conversation. As we spoke, I was hit by his looks. He was dashingly attractive, he was European... he could have looked French and from Beauxbatons, his looks were possibly a match for Draco's liking... so, acting like I had dropped something, I took some of his hair from the floor and brought it here. This is when I made the potion. I didn't know when to act or how to do that, since I had to trick the teachers into believing that this guy was transferring from another school.

So, I forged Madame Maxime's signature and sent an owl to the Headmistress, saying that, any minute, one of their students would be transferring to Hogwarts. The letter expressively said to put the new student into Slytherin, as, down in Beauxbatons, he was in the French version of that house.

The right time of his arrival was when Draco had to switch rooms.

However, I could not be in the same room as he was and I had to take the potion every hour.

Hence, I had to make it that this guy had a rare illness, so that he would always have the flask on his person.

The last thing I was missing was a name. I thought of the most French name there was and I chose Jean Jacques. It sounded perfect.

In the nights I spent with Draco, I had to sleep with my whole body covered by the duvet, as I would go back to my true form while asleep. Also, I would wake up so early because I had to rush into my actual dorm. It was the only way I had to see Draco in the morning and hear everything he had to say about the obnoxious new roommate.

And the rest is history.

I was determined not to be found out, but, apparently I let something slip - I was being too evasive with Draco.

However, when I saw them holding hands earlier, I knew my plot had failed.

I don't know how, but their love is too strong for me to break. "

When the girl finished speaking, Hermione told her own side of the Hair Salon story.

No one spoke for a while, it was too much to process, all at once.

Hermione was the one to break the silence. "Pansy, I hope you know that this is a criminal offence. You will be expelled for this, as a minimum. This is serious, Azkaban serious." She said, sternly.

"You have no evidence." Pansy angrily spat. "No one will believe you! It sounds absurd, even to me."

"This is where you're wrong." came Ginny's voice. She was walking towards the Slytherin girl, followed by Luna and Professor McGonagall.

They were what Harry had seen, hence his proposal of using the veritaserum, he knew he would have obtained a confession.

"We felt so bad that we had to interrupt the girls' date for their month-and-a-half-and-a-weeks-aversary, but we needed them to warn the Hadmistress."

"Miss Parkinson, I heard and saw everything. Your wrong doing, which marks second on your criminal record, is punishable with immediate expulsion, no possibility of a trial. You fooled everyone here; Mr Malfoy, Mr Potter and the whole school. Plus, you forged a signature and made up a person, that is identity theft. " The teacher said in a bitter tone.

"But, professor-" Pansy started, but she was cut off.

"No complaining. You are lucky that you're not going straight to Azkaban. Your wand will be broken in half, now." the Headmistress continued, summoning the girl's wand.

"May I?" Harry asked, eagerly. The Professor nodded and gave him the wand.

"This," he said, getting in the Slytherin girl's face. "Is for making out with my boyfriend."

He broke the wand in two, emitting a sound 'crack'.

Harry couldn't remember the last time he had been this satisfied. It felt so good, almost soothing.

Pansy screamed, "NO!"
"Miss Parkinson, you have a day to gather all your things. Tomorrow, workers from the ministry will come pick you up."

The day after, Pansy had her trunk ready, she was in the Slytherin common room, waiting for her ride.
"Draco..." She said as she saw him walking by her.

Draco didn't remember having been angrier than he was in that moment. This girl he had considered one of his best friends had done something unspeakable to him, yet she was there with her freaking pleading eyes. He had been a fool to trust her again after she had already stabbed his back once, he wasn't going to fall for her manipulative ways, not anymore.

The only thing he wished for was to never see her lying face again.

Had they crossed paths again, he would have probably destroyed her. And he didn't want to hurt a girl like that.

"How dare you betray my trust like this? After years of friendship! I used to think a lot of you, I even forgave your photo incident, but this... Is beyond me!" The boy said, furiously. "I can't believe you molested me twice and almost turned me against the boy I love."
"But I told you, I did it cause I love-"
"Fuck you, Pansy. Don't get too burned, down in Hell." He said, then he left the room.
The girl stood there, her mouth dropped. Several people stared at her in disbelief.
The news had gone viral throughout the school, even the Daily Prophet had gotten their hands on it.
Pansy was now suffering at the hands of herself.
Oh the cruel touch of Karma...

After leaving the Slytherin common room, Draco made his way to the top studying spot in all of Hogwarts, under the big tree.
There sat his boyfriend and his friends.
"Hey, baby!" Harry greeted him happily. " Did you send our best regards?"
"Eh, I told her to go to hell." Draco shrugged.
"When I learned that it was Pansy, I couldn't believe it. I mean, I worked on... Some plans with her, but, really, this one is beyond me." Said Ginny, still incredulous.
"You were right not to trust her." Said Draco to his boyfriend, letting out a sigh.

He could add this experience to the list of things that Harry was right about.

"I never told you anything about that." Harry observed.
"You so did in your sleep." Draco said while sitting down next to him.
"Well, wow. Then I guess, once again, you should have listened to me." Harry admonished, slapping his shoulder lightly. "She almost broke us up."

"Well, I listened to some of the other things you said while asleep." the Slytherin purred into Harry's ear, then he winked.
That was his way of getting out of a scolding. It had never failed so far.
"Like what?" Harry asked, entertained.
"I can't say them out loud..." Draco murmured.
Ron gave them a disgusted look.
"And we don't want to know, thank you." He said.
"Why not? I do want to know!" Said Luna, genuinely curious.

After all, Harry's requests could have been as innocent as a 'fix my tie'.

"I don't have a roommate now, though." Said Draco, changing the subject.
"About that..." Said Hermione, smirking.
"...we talked to the headmistress and, since your situation is unlike any..." Ginny continued.

"You will have a dorm of your own..."Luna resumed.
"... And you're free to sleep in my dorm, just like I am free to sleep in yours." Harry concluded, smiling brightly. "Whenever we please."
Draco could hardly believe his ears. Harry had just said that he would sleep in his dorm, therefore he had to walk through the Slytherin common room.
It couldn't have ended a better way.
"Dear Merlin, this is great!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah! So we can spend every night together!" Said Harry while holding his hand. "And you won't risk getting awful room mates again."
"You are a bit horrible..." Draco joked.
Harry scoffed, pretending to be upset at his comment.
"I'll send you back to Blaise." He teased.
"At least he doesn't talk in his sleep or moves uncontrollably. Next time, I will kick you." Said Draco, suppressing a sneer.
Harry gasped. Then he started tickling him.
Draco laughed and wriggled around, all while the others giggled or, in Luna's case, looked at them lovingly.
" Thanks, Harry, you're the best boyfriend ever!" Harry said in a mocking tone, still tickling him.
"Ugh you just want me to say it, don't you?" Draco said in between laughs.
"Say it and this torture will stop!" Said Harry, a smirk on his face.
"Never! Ah!" Draco screamed while laughing. He then fell on the grass.
"I need back up here!" Said Harry, calling to his friends, who happily obliged and went on to participate in the tickling frenzy.
"Ok, Ok, I will!" Draco said, breathing heavily and with some tears in his eyes from the excessive amount of laughter.
Everyone stopped, waiting for him to say it.
"Thank you guys, you're quite decent friends I reckon!" He said.
All of his friends plus boyfriend looked at each other.
"I'd say this is not enough." Said Ron, looking disappointed.
Harry nodded, then they all went back to their tickle filled torture.
Draco's laughs echoed through the courtyard as he thought that these people were truly wonderful to him. He would have never been able to thank them enough.
No one had ever made him laugh so hard, so much to gasp for air and cry his eyes out.
He was very lucky to have them.

A/N: Mrs Granger's name is not specified in the books, so I had to get creative.
