Rawr! heheh... yeah... on with it...

The next day, Harry led Draco out of the hospital door. A lot of stares followed them. Most of the students were eyeing them with curiosity.

"Hey Harry? Are you still…you know…guarding him?" a Hufflepuff third year asked. Harry inwardly grinned, starting his act.

"What? How do you know about that!" he asked, faking shock. The boy smirked smugly.

"I have my sources." He said proudly.

"Well…yes I am. But no one should know…" Harry muttered looking confused, hurrying along. Draco followed, frowning.

"What was all that about?"

"Ron and Hermione leaked false information to people remember? I have to play along to it don't I?" Harry said, grinning. Draco rolled his eyes. He glanced around the school. A lot of students had strange badges on. Light blue with dark writing the flashed red and black.

"What's with the badges?"

"Oh…that…" Harry sighed exasperatedly. "They're MCH badges." Draco just stared at him. "Mythical Creature Halflings. MCH. Since I became an Incandeche, a lot of other half breed students have admitted to being so. The MCH is a club for Halflings of all sorts. Veela, Althara, Incandeche, Vearas, even two half giants." A group of students with giant red Mohawks and claws walked by, grinning at Harry.

"Good to see you out again Harry!" one of them said. Harry just nodded, grinning amusedly back. Draco gave him a questioning look.

"Veara…" Harry said.

"Oh. So where's your badge?" Harry shifted embarrassedly. He opened his cloak and showed Draco a dark blue badge with golden letters saying 'MCH- LEADER' on it. "You're the leader!" Draco laughed. "You're kidding me!"

"Well it got the HPFC off my back!" Harry snapped defensively. "We had meetings three times a week in the Hospital Wing at night…just talking about who we were and having fun and stuff. I'm the only Incandeche. There are quite a few Veela…" Harry noticed Draco was still smirking and laughing lightly. He glowered. "…And one of the Altharas is fucking hot." Draco stopped dead.

"WHAT!" now even more people were staring at them. It was Harry's turn to laugh now. His wings shuddered as he tried to control his laughs. But the look on Draco's face was priceless! Harry could have sworn Draco's eyes were tinted green.

"Heh, don't worry Draco I'm kidding! I had to shut you up some how!" Draco glowered at him.

"That was evil!"

"Well I guess you'd be an expert there." Harry chuckled as Draco huffed indignantly. "Come on. We have class soon." He said, wrapping his arm around Draco's waist and pulling him close, leading him away.

Hushed whispers and shocked mutters now accompanied the stares.

Double potions was the same old night mare. Since Draco hadn't been in over three weeks (because he hadn't gone before the incident) he was so far back in his work that he had to sit by Hermione to catch up. Which left Harry and Ron to sit two rows behind with Seamus and Neville. Seamus had an MCH badge pinned to his jumper. He was a Veara, but didn't show it because he didn't like the colour red that his hair was.

"Hey Harry? There's a rumour going round that you were hugging Malfoy today. Is it true?" Seamus asked. Even from two rows away, Draco picked up on the conversation with his sensitive hearing. He even heard Harry's breath hitch at the question.

"Who said that?"

"Colin. He said he wished he had had his camera with him because now he doesn't believe his own eyes."

"Oh…"

"So is it true?"

"Well it's not…not true."

"Heh! Way to bag the Ice Prince Harry!" Harry and Draco both had the same expression on their faces. Total and utter shock.

"What? You don't think its….disgusting and wrong?" Harry asked, staring in disbelief.

"Were you even listening when I said two thirds of the Veara population is gay last meeting? And I know beauty when I see it Harry. Malfoy may have a terrible personality, but he's a real looker. And if you can get him to show any kind of feeling except hate, then all the better for you!" Harry couldn't help grinning.

"Thanks."

Neville's cauldron promptly exploded.

Tons of orange goo flew outwards and covered the entire room. Harry, Ron, Seamus and Neville were totally covered in it. Others were almost as bad. Even Snape had goo all over his cloak.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" Seamus yelled. "I left you alone with it for two minutes!" his claws started uncoiling in anger. Neville shifted uneasily.

"I'm sorry." Seamus's next words were cut off by hysteric laughing. But it wasn't from anyone who would have been expected to laugh. It was Draco. He was doubled over, orange goo dripping down his face, laughing his head off. And it wasn't a mocking laugh. It was a genuine, amused laugh. Soon, the whole class was at it. Harry smiled. It was good to hear Draco laugh. He walked over to Draco and started wiping goo off his face.

"Look at you. You look like an orange and cream lollypop." Draco snorted.

"At least I'm not covered from head to foot in it."

"Yeah well…"

"That will do!" an angry voice cut through the laughter and silenced the whole class. Everyone turned to Snape. "Boy, you will serve a month of detention! Twenty points from Gryffindor! Your detention will start now, and you will clean all of this mess up!" Neville gulped.

By lunch, wild rumours were flying from all directions. People kept coming up to Harry and asking him if he was involved with Draco. In the end, Harry got totally bored with it.

He stood up in the Great Hall and waited as everyone turned to face him.

"As I'm sure you're all aware, there are some accusations flying around the school that I'm going out with Malfoy." Harry started walking towards the Slytherin table. Draco was wondering what the fuck he was up to. "Well, just so you all know, I want to put an end to these rumours once and for all!" everyone was silent as Harry stopped next to Draco and pulled him to his feet roughly. Draco saw anger in Harry's eyes and he was half expecting the Gryffindor to curse him into oblivion. "I think this will prove what is going on here." He grabbed Draco around the waist and crushed his lips against Draco's with fierce passion. Draco melted into the kiss and retaliated, running his tongue along Harry's bottom lip before biting it gently. Harry moaned, opening his mouth as camera flashes went off. Draco let his hands run up and down Harry's back as the Gryffindor's fingers ran through Draco's hair, pulling him even closer. Draco pulled away, trailing a few kisses down Harry's neck before wrapping his arm tightly around the Gryffindor. Harry was gasping for air. "Well…I'm sure that put all of your minds to rest." He said, smirking at all of the stunned faces. He pulled Draco closer. "And if anyone has any objections…" Harry's aura flared dangerously and his claws elongated. A few of the Slytherins nearer him recoiled slightly. "Any objections at all…then you can all rot in hell for all I care." With that, both of them left the Hall.
