Summary: Harry's new look!
A/N:
This was inspired by a picture of Draco Malfoy leaning on a
stone wall during Care of Magical Creatures. The list, I tried to
make it all man, but I have to include girls because I don't know
that many characters, and you could only use original character that
much. Have to do more homework and Cedric is not Dead cause he's too
beautiful to die. I'm not going to do interviews on all
the character as 1) I don't know
that much about most them 2) the
fic would be too long, as I like to have background story for the
ones I do give interviews and 3) I
just don't want you guys to get bored, I'll try to get the fic under
20 chappies, though I dunno if that's gonna happen, with my
tendencies to stray.
By the way, if they are any mistakes in name or spelling of some things, I apologizes beforehand. I'm at college and I don't have any of the books for reference. I'm living of other fictions.
I would also like to say thanks to my reviewers, as always, SerpentSlaveChick, a writer I admire, annajesse, could always make me want to write more and faster, Chiyoku Shibata, great reviews and newbies, SaphireGoddess57, long, but I like long, and yes, I'm excited too and xD,I'll continue. I would also like to mention Archer Yi, Rock and Sarcasm, Blind Dreamer, Crazy-lil-nae-nae and DMHPluv whom I hope still reads this story. Thank you.
Chapter Thirteen
Harry Potter is going to do a very bad thing. He's going to 'out' a good friend who could be straight in the first place. As he look at Colin's hungry face ( almost like the time he was caught with a camera inside the Gryffindor's changing room three stalls from Harry's) he could feel more guilty. However being over consumed with Ron's confession over liking, no, loving that... that FERRET, 'he' is the only obvious choice where no boyfriend or girlfriend will come looking for him and kick Harry's but.
Colin, seeing as if Harry is in some sort of flashback in his own head nudged Harry to revealed the name of his secret lover. " Come on Harry, who's the name of the lucky bloke, I..I mean girl?"
" You know him Colin, he's my roommate. In my classes too. Great hand at Herbology. Used to be rather pudgy, but recently he had come into his own. I mean, Neville is rather hot, don't you think?" The incredulous look on Colin's face almost made him laugh out loud, and he promised himself to ask for Neville's forgiveness as soon as possible.
"Nev..Neville? Longbottom? " Colin seem to be brain dead for a second but recovered himself quite well, " Is he really, well I mean I could see, ehem... ehem, what you mean. How long have you been together?" Colin might be shocked out of his pants but he is still very professional. Which is sometime not a very good thing.
" We have been together for a while, though I can't really remember when it really started." Harry decided to give as little detail as possible." I have always liked him and when I told him I wanted to be more than friends, he said that he had wanted it too. So we got together. Nobody really knows yet, so I'm really worried what people will say about this." It's better to say he asked first, so that Neville won't go bonkers when Harry actually tells him.
Seeing that Harry had grown reluctant at telling his story, he continued with some simple questions and send Harry to the make-up room for the photo shoot. Harry was directed to a nearby tent between some poplar trees.

Harry put his head first through the flap. He could see a large mirror, a very comfortable looking chair and a selection of clothes hanging from a rack. He stepped in and look around. Nobody seemed to be there, so the first thing he did was sat in the chair in front of the mirror. He then noticed some pictures pasted on the edge of the mirror. There's this mug shot of a very sluttish looking guy, with heavy eye make-up and very pouty lips, with lips gloss. He didn't think that look suit him, that slut look, maybe it is more suitable on Malfoy, who look slutty without the make up ( he gets riled up just thinking about the bloody ferret, he looks around for something heavy to throw. Gee, there is nothing.)
Apart from that picture , he saw dozens others with different theme to the mug shots. Some seems quite natural and other looks like they belong only during Halloween. He then saw his name pasted with post it on one of the pictures. The look very natural, with a slight bronzing effect. He couldn't imagine how would that look like.
A girl suddenly entered the tent. Looking at her unassuming brown hair, tied at the nape of her neck and her very muggle clothes, jeans with a two piece t-shirt, a long sleeved green t-shirt on the inside, and a white short sleeve with 'Muggle This Up Your Arse' written in loopy words, you would never guess she has any artistic instinct at all. Don't all artist have weird looks? Well, guess not.
Harry smiled, he didn't really, his mouth just made a kind of weird line, and waited for the girl to talk first.
"So Harry, how are you? I'm Jubilee, Slytherin, and I'll be your makeup artist and stylist. Hermione will be along in a minute so let just start with the look that we were going for you. Colin wants you to be walking in park, sort of, so we have got parts of the forest bewitch to look like fall, cause you're -----, right, so you're bronzing after a whole summer of playing and in this shots we wants to see you sated, kind of tired and looking forward to a good rest. Okay, so the clothes will be two sets, one is the school robe and the other is muggle clothing, jeans, two piece t-shirt with a muffler and now lets talk about you're new look." Boy, can she sure chirp, in a very vampirish way, without the heavy eyeliner, must be the crooked smile. .
At the same time, Hermione pop her head in and greeted the two people, " Hei, guys, so have I missed anything? No? good."
"Hermione!" was all Harry could say to his best friend, being a bit overwhelmed at the moment and turn back to face Jubilee.
" Hermione," Jubilee smiled again, sort of, and after Hermione had put her cloak down on a sofa at the side of the tent, she turn back to Harry and started to looked at Harry up and down and with Hermione standing beside her also looking at Harry (which was making him more uncomfortable than he really should be, but then again it's not looked he had ever done anything like this before.) " I'm going to layer his hair, give a more defined fringe and make it curls outward, at the end only, what do you think?" and she looked at Hermione.
Hermione on the other hand was only nodding, taking in Jubilee's suggestions when she said, " I was first thinking of cutting it shorter, with just enough to be spiked without any gel, but it's a shame to cut all that gorgeous unruly hair." Her index finger went to her chin in contemplation.
Harry just thought that his hair is, well, wild and unmanageable. The fact that Hermione had describe it as gorgeous was while flattering, a bit unbelievable. He feels that all the haircut that Aunt Petunia had made him take shows one thing, his hair won't stay cut, and Harry feels he need to let somebody know that. " Uh, guys! My hair won't stay cut. Hermione, you know how my hair is." He look imploringly at her.
Hermione turned to him and smiled, "But Harry, you don't want those haircuts, remember, that's why they change back. This time you're quite willing and I guess it will stick. Or at least just until we finish the shots. If it sticks, Ro...ooonimeanthe 'Readers' would definitely love that hair." And prayed in her heart that the blunder she made was not noticed. But it's unlikely as Jubilee was not even in their house." I guess we will go with your look. The shoulder length hair style is in fashion anyway. " And she was then shooed out by Jubilee to go check the shooting set.
Jubilee washed his hair, making it softer and smelled nicer, dry it with a towel and pick up a pair of scissors. He looked at Harry and grinned.
Harry gulped.
