Chapter 16: Crazy
Henry ran into the locker quick with the rest of the team and shook out the rain drops from his curly brown hair. The whole team looked like they had just jumped into the lake at Hogwarts but in truth, a storm with large hail and raindrops had come in. Viktor stormed in behind Jason slamming the door shut.
"Why couldn't we stay out there huh? Bunch of girls are you huh?" Viktor yelled and Henry's eye twitched as he shook his head like a dog.
"What do you mean 'a bunch of girls'? We couldn't see jack out there so how was Potter going to catch the snitch in that kind of weather? I don't recall you grabbing the snitch in any storm like this so shut up Krum." Henry yelled as he toweled his hair and Viktor looked surprised.
"You're giving me another headache Garrison. Just all of you, go now. Please." Krum waved at them and everyone merely headed out of the locker room to go to the pub except Henry. Viktor had ignored him and went into the office and locked the door. Knowing him, Henry knew he wasn't going to come out for a while.
"Yes! Finally. I was wondering when he would leave. Now I can finally shower in peace." Hermione took off her boy clothes and made sure her duffel bag and towel was nearby as she entered the shower area and turned on the hot water changing back to her girl body.
"Oh Merlin, this feels nice. No boys, no pressure, just me and the hot water in this shower…" Hermione sighed as she lathered her Quidditch- battered body in cucumber melon soap lather.
"Henry?" Jason came back in locker room looking for his friend and heard the shower running "Henry c'mon man we gotta go to the…pub…" Jason stared at the person in the showers in front of him who was lathering the back of her legs and her back. The back he saw was silky white and smooth under the soap and the legs were just as milky. The person began to lather her shoulders and turned her face to him but still had her eyes closed.
"Hermione?..." Jason breathed and his jaws as Hermione turned to wash her back free of soap and finally opened her eyes.
"Oh Merlin… Jason?" she asked and suddenly Jason figured out their position and about faced to look into the locker room.
"I'm sorry Hermione! Wait…what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at Hogwarts?"
"Jason you're soaked to the bone; grab one of my shirts from my duffel bag and grab a towel while you're at it. For yourself. My stuff is out on the bench so no touchy." Hermione warned as Jason left the area.
"Hermione's here…but Henry never left here so…wait a minute…" Jason began to change as he tried to figure out Hermione's presence when he turned around. ermione was dressed in a baggy ocean blue shirt and equally baggy black jeans and black Tims that were probably a size ten in men's.
"Jason, why'd you come back?" Hermione asked as she toweled her hair the same way Henry did, shaking and then toweling, and Jason noticed this.
"I was going to ask Henry to the pub across the street. Henry dries his hair like that."
"Damn, you noticed. Well, as you can see, Henry's not here. So, see ya." Hermione tried to make a mad dash but Jason caught her around the middle and she squirmed.
"I'm happy to see you too Jason but I need to go."
"I'm starting to think that you're Henry,Hermione. An even though I'm a jock I think I'm right." Jason said and Hermione turned in his grip and glared the Henry glare.
"I wish I can Apparate right now." She muttered under her breathe and Jason let go and Hermione crossed her arms and he shook his head in disbelief.
"Unbelievable…incredible… You're finally doing it Hermione. You're getting revenge!" Jason smiled and Hermione rolled her eyes.
"I've been since I became Henry in October. It took you long enough to realize why I hated coming into the locker room and you people wouldn't let me leave."
"I thought you were gay. I mean… an elf that's girlier than most and everything… I'm cool with elves honest. It's just…I think Trey got the wrong idea."
"I know. But I can't become a girl and stay on. I'm Henry until Viktor allows girls on the team. And this isn't even the real one." Hermione said and she pointed her wand at herself to turn into Henry; Jason's jaw dropped.
"You'd you- but your- does it hurt?" Jason pointed at Henry's chest and Henry looked down, he was as flat-chest as a man was supposed to be
"Oh this is tape. Don't worry, I'm back to normal size when I take it off as you've already seen." Henry glared icily as Jason blushed.
"I didn't mean to. You were just… and they were just out there… and-" Henry held up his hand and changed his voice level.
"Stop explaining Jay. It's futile. Seeing as I'm Henry again and Viktor hasn't noticed any of this, let's go to the pub." Henry said and Jason grabbed Henry's duffel bag and swung it on his shoulders.
"Has the rain stopped?" Henry asked as they headed for the door and they saw Harry leaning on the wall with on leg up on the wall in that yeah-what-do-you-want pose.
"Yeah actually it has." Harry replied. The rain had stopped the minute Hermione had told Jason the truth, ironic huh?
"H-Harry! Uh, how's it been? Aren't you supposed to be at the pub?" Henry asked scratching the back of his head and laughing nervously.
"You're not that bad of an actor Henry. Or should I say actress, Hermione?" Harry asked and waved his wand over Henry, taking off the charms hiding his female attributes "You just had to tell me Hermione. I would've agreed to help you."
"Uh…I love you?" Hermione asked and Jason snorted.
"I love you too but you just had to tell me. I'll help you be more manly at school but let's get to the pub." He waved his wand again and Henry was back in front of him.
"That obvious?" They began to walk across the street.
"No, you could have posed well with the skating and that but you listened too much to the girls' emotions that we were talking to. It got annoying but then we though you were kind of a little too sensitive with their emotions. And you actually listened to them when they talked to you." Jason filled in and Henry punched him in the back of the head.
"Hello! I'm an undercover girl." Henry hissed and he heard everyone greet him as they opened the door.
"Hey Henry! About time! C'mon!" Ken motioned him over and when he plopped down handed him a mug full of Firewhiskey.
"Isn't this a little much?" Henry tilted his head to the side and looked at it that way.
"No!" the team yelled except the three that knew Henry's secret.
"Oi! Chug it Garrison! Twenty Galleons if you can chug it in five minutes." Trey said, putting the said money on the table and Henry arched an eyebrow as did Harry and Draco, Jason smirked.
"Go on Henry, let's see if you can do it. If you don't, you gotta sing karaoke in front of those cute girls." Ken pointed to a group of six girls giggling in a corner all drinking girly drinks and pointing at Henry and the other guys, but mostly Henry.
"Fine. Potter, Malfoy, time me." Henry gripped the mug handle cockily and looked over at the girls, winked and heard Trey say go.
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
"Go, go, go, go…" Ron, Jason, and Justin, the other beater, cheered as Harry and Draco looked at each other.
"You know about Henry?" Harry whispered.
"You mean she-he? Yeah." Draco replied amazed that Henry was inhaling so quickly.
"By accident?" Harry was skeptic.
"Yeah. You too?" Draco was still blunt and cold.
"She told Jason and I was there."
"AH! Give me my twenty galleons Trey!" Henry wiped his mouth and held out his hand; Trey pushed the money into it and glared at Henry but Henry grinned.
"Now you go up and sing." Henry pointed at the platform that resembled the one in the Head Dorm.
"What?" Trey asked incredulously.
"It's only fair Trey. If I lost I would've sung so since you lost you sing." Henry reasoned.
"Damn elf." Trey muttered and Henry smirked at the girls, who giggled even more.
"Sing, sing, sing, sing!" the team chanted and Henry pointed at a girl who Trey had been admiring.
"Wouldn't want to disappoint her would you?" Henry nodded in her.
"Damn elf." Trey muttered before getting up and grabbing the mic and glaring at Henry from the stage.
"What song?" Trey muttered into the mic and Henry shrugged.
"All for You by Janet Jackson." He replied and the music played instantly.
"Oh man…" but Trey began to sing it and the girls smiled at his feeble attempt.
"That was mean Garrison." Draco told Henry, who had been smirking at his triumph.
"Oh well, I learned." Henry smirked more while Harry looked at him funny.
"We're going to have to talk soon Hermione." Harry muttered in his ear as he passed to go to the bathroom.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"We are probably late for curfew Malfoy." Ron said taking a gulp of Firewhiskey and Draco checked his watch.
"Yeah. Let's get Potter and leave. I'm tired of watching these people try to sing." Draco took another swig of not Firewhiskey but vodka.
"You're drinking vodka?" Henry sniffed the cup.
"I hold my liquor well." Draco told Henry.
"Well then why don't you go?" a violet eyed girl that had luscious black hair said from her position of being held by Ron. The girls had decided to come by after Trey had sung.
"Yeah, Draco. You go and show us your stuff." The girl that Draco had his arm around put her other arm around his neck and whispered this sweetly. She had big hazel eyes with waist length wavy brown hair that reminded Harry of Hermione's.
"Yeah Draco. Go up." Henry said slightly angered but only Harry caught it.
"Oh yes Draco. Please?" the girl asked again.
"Kathy, I really couldn't." Draco argued but Kathy pouted, brought her other leg to straddle Draco's waist.
"Oh please Draco. For me…" Kathy widened her big hazel eyes and pouted her lower lip even more.
"Oh don't do that…" Draco looked like he was failing to control his alcohol at last.
"Please?" Kathy said running a hand through his hair and Henry glared as Draco closed his eyes.
"Alright… alright… Just, don't pout again." Kathy smiled as she got off of Draco and helped him stand.
"You're a guy Hermione." Harry muttered when Kathy spoke to the violet-eyed girl Karen.
"I can't help it. That girl was all over him and sluttish and…" Henry huffed and gave his famous glare.
"Henry Garrison are you jealous?" Harry had not drunk as much as the others who were swaying and singing Irish ballads or karaoke.
"No. Hey Draco sing 'Cold' by Crossfade! You cold bastard." Henry sniffed and muttered the last sentence but only Harry heard.
"What time is it Jason?" he asked the man who was currently making out with another girl from the corner, one with icy blue eyes and long blue hair; when he came up he looked at his watch.
"Eight thirty. You have until nine for curfew right?"
"Yeah…we'll leave when Malfoy's done." Harry told him but Jason had already gone back to tenderly kissing the girl in his lap.
"Alright. I'll sing 'Cold' you drunken elf." He began to sing. Draco wasn't great. Draco wasn't good. Draco was wonderful. Everyone in the pub shut up to here him sing his heart out. All of a sudden Hermione felt Draco trying to reach her inside this outer shell of Henry. His voice held sadness to the fifth power even though he was drunk as hell. Harry suddenly realized that Hermione and Draco had feelings for each other. Henry looked so happy when Draco was apologizing but Kathy thought it was to her so she merely smiled appreciatively. Draco had actually let his heart out and only Henry had been able to read it correctly until everyone started clapping and Draco bowed.
"Wh- whoa!" Draco fell forward into the sea of chairs and tables and was just saved by Henry catching him but falling down in the process "Thanks man." Draco patted Henry on the back and helped him up.
"No problem. Isn't it almost nine o 'clock Harry?" Henry asked and Harry nodded.
"Can you come back with us? Ron's just as drunk as Draco and I can't support over 300 pounds by myself." Harry began to lift Ron from Karen who had drunkenly giggled a goodbye.
"Yeah sure. C'mon Draco and say goodbye to Kathy." Henry nodded to Kathy who was talking to Karen but she smiled and waved a goodbye when Draco called out to her.
"Done. Can we go now?" Draco took a step forward and almost fell down, drunk to the bone.
"Yes but you're going to have to come on my broom. Let's go." Henry grabbed Draco and dragged him outside where Harry had gotten Ron to mount his own broom.
"Change back so it won't feel weird for him." Harry said and Henry complied.
"Hermione? When'd you get here?" Draco asked his speech not slurred at all.
"Just now Draco. Mount the broom, will you?" Draco mounted and Hermione did herself in front of him so she could steer.
"Let's go." Harry and Ron kicked off and Hermione followed steadily when Draco began to hold her waist tighter than needed.
"You're really something Hermione." Draco's hot breathe made her shiver against the cold wind of their flying.
"Yeah?" Hermione said playing along.He's drunk; all he can do is make a fool of himself.
"Oh yeah. Really something. Smart, sarcastic and hot. You have it all."
"What brought about this change?" Hermione turned her face a little to see Draco's head on her shoulder.
"I don't want this to end. Even if I'm as drunk as Henry the 8th I don't give a damn. And right now," he squeezed her stomach "I really want to really kiss you… neck you… do whatever I can to satisfy both of us." Hermione gaped.
"Oh really? Even with Harry flying a few yards away?" Hermione turned fully to him knowing that no trees were around.Is he for real? Oh being drunk makes you tell the truth! Uh oh….
"May he watch and learn." Draco slowly edged to her neck and placed his soft lips on her collarbone.
"Draco…" Hermione muttered and Draco again kissed her neck, this time in between her collarbone and jaw.Lips are…so soft…no this is Draco! But he's drunk and vulnerable… but Harry's here!
"One more…" he whispered and on the third one he kissed her lips; he quickly went back to leaning on her shoulder as he fell asleep.Oh Merlin…
"Did he just kiss you?" Harry yelled over the wind.
"Wha?" Hermione barely yelled.
"I'm going to murder him!"
"Oh we need him on the team and you know! Shut up he's sleeping." Hermione noticed Ron laying limp on his broom.
"I'm surprised you're not as drunk as them. You drank even more." Harry told her.
"I handle my liquor well." Hermione sat proudly.
"Help me keep Ron levitated will you?" Harry had his hand held out behind him and that was how Ron was flying.
"Oh how sad." Hermione held out her hand and helped Harry carry Ron.
"He kissed you." Harry brought up after a minute.
"He was drunk." Hermione defended.
"You liked it." Harry countered.
"I was in shock." Hermione once again defended.
"You're falling for him." Harry smirked.
"…………….Let's hurry up I'm tired." Hermione kept her jaw clenched but mentally began to bring her fingers to touch her lips where Draco's had been.
"What about those girls?" Harry brought up.
"I'm an actress." Hermione said proudly.
"At least enough to actually wink at some cute girls." Harry smiled.
"I don't like girls." Hermione said incredulously.
"Sure you don't." Harry taunted.
"I just kissed Draco Malfoy, liked it and you're saying I like girls." Hermione practically yelled.
"You admit it! He kissed you! You liked it!" Harry said, finally getting what he wanted.
"That's what you wanted? Harry, that's low." Hermione cried finally seeing Hogsmeade.
"It just felt good to have you admit to me that you are falling for Malfoy." Harry shrugged.
"I am not!"
"Then why'd you like the kiss?" Harry countered.
"Cause he has the softest lips on earth! Harry stop quizzing me." Hermione said and Harry almost hit the Whomping Willow.
"Oh Merlin. Hermione you're falling for him." Harry whispered and he and Hermione landed on the balcony of the Dorm and Ron and Draco landed on the tile quite softly.
"Let's bring them in." Hermione whispered lifting Draco to his bed next to the window but Harry was grim as he lifted Ron into his bed, the only empty one.
"You can stay here or downstairs Harry."
"You can tell me now you didn't just say what I think you did or you can deal with Draco and Ron's hangover by yourself." Harry stepped next to her bed.
"I'll tell you in the morning, I'm tired." Hermione sat in her bed.
"Alright, I'll stay downstairs. Night." Harry opened the door to the hallway.
"Night Harry." Hermione handed him a pillow and blanket and closed the door behind him as went to undressing.
"You had a fun night." Pansy said in to the empty room.
"How'd you know?" Hermione asked, smiling.
"I smell Firewhiskey, sweaty men, Draco's cologne and favorite vodka on you. I want to hear."
"In the morning." Hermione slipped into her bed.
"Me too"! Teresa called.
"Oh is this a party now?" Amy asked yawning.
"No now go to sleep." Hermione said and she began to dream of blond haired Slytherin who had been drunk enough to kiss the Gryffindor She-he.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Ugh…" Ron groaned and rolled unto the floor painfully the next morning and turned to see Draco already dressing.
"About time Weasley." Draco said straightening his tie in the mirror.
"How don't you have a hangover? You drank vodka." Ron asked not bothering to shower and just changing clothes and putting on cologne.
"I can handle my liquor well, like I said last night. Potter and Granger are probably waiting for us."
"Hey I had the weirdest dream last night. You kissed Hermione when you two were flying on her broom and well, then you went to sleep. Weird huh?" Ron told Draco and they found Hermione and Harry already dressed and waiting downstairs.
"Morning you two!" Hermione said cheerfully and Harry nodded his greeting.
"Morning 'Mione. Let's go to breakfast." Ron said and the four headed downstairs they soon fell into pairs, Ron and Harry loudly discussing plays and Hermione and Draco in, for Draco, an uncomfortable silence.
"Weasley told me the weirdest thing this morning." Draco said in monotone.
"Really what?" Hermione asked, already taking a guess of what it was.
"He said that he had a dream that we kissed." Please let it not be true.
"Oh that wasn't a dream Malfoy. You did kiss me." Hermione stated like she was talking about the weather. Hahaahahhaha this boy is so red!
"……… No lies?" Please yes please yes.
"No. I don't know why you brag so much. It was so weak anyway, like getting a kiss from Harry." Hermione said and Draco mentally began to bang his head against a wall.I just embarrassed him so much!
"I was drunk." Draco countered.
"What happening to handling your liquor well?" Hermione quoted.
"I am." Draco said cockily.
-------------------------------------------------------
THREE HOURS LATER
Draco kept his head on his desk in Potions. His head and Ron's were killing them while Harry was cheerfully sitting next to Hermione, whose symptoms were unknown. Soon Draco slid out of his chair unto the floor with a splitting headache and crumbling to a heap on the dungeon ground.
"Ow…" Draco moaned and the Gryffindors laughed but Hermione looked at him slightly with pity and a look in her face that said 'ha ha.'
"Draco, enough playing around. This is a very complex potion. Anyone remember what it was to refresh Mr. Malfoy's mind?" Hermione and Harry's hands rose.
"Aw Potter, finally paying attention? What is it?"
"Baldwin's every Hangover cure potion sir. So you don't get that headache you usually do from drinking so much the night before."
"Very well. Malfoy with Granger, Weasley with Potter, Parkinson with Longbottom…" he began to pair people up.
"So much for holding your liquor well Malfoy." Hermione crushed beetle eyes.
"Shut up Granger, I think I'm seeing five Snape's so I don't need your nagging right now." Draco stabbed the piece of pixie wings that he was supposed to slice up.
"Draco stop fooling around." Snape hissed as he passed by them and Draco winced at the sound.
"Not so loud Professor. I have a headache." Draco muttered and Hermione giggled at him.
"Silence miss Granger." Snape warned and Draco winced again so Hermione had to giggle.
"Stop disrupting the class Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy. Detention! Tomorrow night . That'll teach you to annoy me." Snape growled and Hermione sighed while Draco once again winced in pain.
"You shouldn't drink any more vodka tough guy." Hermione warned.
"Go away She-he." Draco growled and Snape 'lightly' knocked him the back of the head to shut him up.
"Serves you right." Hermione got a flick in the ear for this and Draco smiled a little at Snape who shook his head at this godson.
"You shouldn't be drinking Draco." Snape told him and Draco fell out of his seat in shock.
"So much for handling your liquor well." Hermione and Snape muttered at the same time. They looked at each other, glared and went back to their work while Draco stayed on the floor for a while.
