~*~A/N: Ok, I'm updating, cause I promised my friend that since she was being really cool today, that I would. Now, please enjoy the 6th chappie!

~*~ The Other Half ~*~ ~ Umm…What Is There to Say? ~

Maggie tried so hard not to laugh as she watched Artimis and Malfoy walk into the castle behind a fuming McGonagall. The moment they were inside, she doubled over in a fit of laughter. Harry just raided an eyebrow at her, "Uh, Maggie? I honestly don't see what's so funny. Care to fill me in?"

She tried to stand up as she wiped the tears of mirth from her cheeks. "I swear, if you knew how much trouble she got into back home Harry, you would be laughing too…" She collapsed onto the ground again, still laughing. Sighing, Harry smirked, wrapped his arm around her waist, and then carried her back inside to the common room.

Artimis kept tuning out what McGonagall was saying, only paying attention when she found it interesting or amusing. "-now what do you two have to say for yourselves?" She snapped out of her thoughts as the last sentence left their angry professor's mouth. "Well, you see-" Artimis was interrupted by the other person in the room. "You see, Professor, we were just rehearsing for part of a short play that is to be held at a ball that my family's throwing over the Christmas holidays. The show is called, "Hating the One You Love," and that just happens to be one of the scenes in it. We are terribly sorry if it offended anybody at all, but we were seriously rehearsing."

The professor just raised her eyebrows, now sure whether to believe his story or not. "Is this true, Miss Crawford?" Artimis switched her gaze from Draco to McGonagall. "Yes, ma'am. He asked me to help him with it today during the trip to Hogsmede." McGonagall sighed. "Very well. However, I shall be docking 5 points each from Slytherin, and you shall both receive detention for the use of vile language you ere using. You may leave." With that, they both stood up and headed for the door.

"What the fuck was that about?" Artimis was fuming at the fact of what Malfoy had just said. "I just got our asses out of trouble, that's what! You know, you could be a little grateful after all of that." Artimis Whirled around on her heals and headed to the common room. Malfoy followed close behind. He barely heard her when she spoke. "Thank you," she muttered. He smirked. "You're welcome, Miss Crawford." They then entered the common room together.

Maggie and Harry were the only ones in the common room, seeing as how everyone had already headed up to get some sleep. They were playing a game of Wizard's Chess, and so far it was a tie game. Eventually, though, they decided to place a bet.

"Hay, Artimis?"

"Hmm?"

"What'd you say to raising the stakes a bit, hmm?"

She raised an eyebrow. "Do continue, Mister Potter."

"Winner of this next round gets to take one thing that they want from their opponent." He smirked, thinking about what he wanted already. "Oh, you are so on, Harry." They continued to play until it was about quarter of 11, when Harry said the three words that made Maggie bite her lip.

"Check and mate," Harry smiled. Maggie groaned, and stood up. "Ok, smart ass; just what is it that you want from me, hmm?" She put her hands on her hips and arched an eyebrow at him. 'Well, its now or never,' Harry thought. "Just this," he whispered. He stepped forward, put both hands on either side of her face, and kissed her.

Maggie's eyes grew wide, shocked at first. Then she closed her eyes and kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck and wrapping her fingers in his hair. Harry tried to deepen the kiss by running his tongue across her bottom lip, pleading to be inside her mouth. She smiled against his lips, then parted her own. Their tongues fought for control, while Harry's arms slid down to her sides.

He then began to step forward, pushing her across the room into a wall. She ended up with her legs wrapped around his waist while his hands were holding her butt. He ran his tongue across the roof of her mouth, causing her to moan. When they broke apart, they were both breathing heavily; but that didn't stop Harry from beginning to kiss her neck. "Oh, God…Harry…please…" Maggie moaned softly. She ran her hands up and down his back.

Harry could feel himself getting hard, and he prayed that Maggie wouldn't notice and pull away. Unfortunately, she chose that very moment to push herself closer to his body, and she felt it. Her eyes opened up wide, and she froze. 'Damnit to Hell!' Harry thought. 'Why did that have to happen?' Maggie slowly brought her feet back down to the ground and slowly pulled away from Harry.

"Um, it's getting kind of late, Harry." She was blushing like mad and couldn't make eye contact with him. "Uh, I'm going to head up to get some sleep, so I guess that I'll see you in the morning, alright Harry?'' He just nodded, also blushing.

She leaned up and gave him a kiss on the cheek before whispering into his ear. "Maybe we can finish this some other time, ok?" With that, she headed upstairs, thinking about what had just happened. Harry followed he close behind, and they both fell asleep thinking about where they now stood with each other.
