Chapter Eighteen: Rebellious Roommates

Harry's friends watched him come to class and he seemed angry, his magic was practically flickering as he thought about those two idiots he had felt as if they were being kind to him because either they wanted to be his friend or they just wanted him. Now he knew they were just giving him whatever he desired to keep him in their pocket, at dinner he narrowed his eyes as he ate his annoyance growing since he could feel them watching him. Seamus, Dean and Neville were fidgeting as dinner went on while the Rebellion was excited since it seemed like Harry had broken through whatever spells they had placed on him and was pissed off.

As soon as he was done eating Harry left motioning his friends to follow, Tom and Lucius followed as well but only to watch. The dark haired green eyed hellion seemed to calm down as his friends began asking for help for their studies, drinking coffee and sighing as he went through and explained the essays they had for Potions, "Guys Wolfsbane is in more than the Wolfsbane potion," he said since they had to write twelve inches on the ingredient.

"Like what?" Seamus asked taking notes.

"Well the Wideye Potion also known as the Awakening potion for one," Harry said sitting on the floor and thinking as he tried to remember others, "Also Wiggenwald, now here's something to think on guys. If you get it wrong I'll practice my spell work on you," all three gulped, "What is the difference between Aconite and Wolfsbane? Also why would Wormwood be useful for this essay?"

"Um…their complimentary ingredients?" Seamus asked before Harry flicked his wand and Seamus yelped as he was flung across the room.

"Wrong, next," Harry turned to the other two we=ho were whispering back and forth as they discussed the questions.

"All three are the same thing," Neville ventured which made Harry smile, "So are you going to explain why you're in a bad mood?"

"Talk, dark and insane plus tall, blond and rich took him shopping before his temper came forth I blame them," Seamus said as he came over rubbing his sore rear, "What did they do?"

"Nothing guys," their fearless leader dropped to lean on his elbows, "I finished this essay three days ago…it is due tomorrow you know," and all three squeaked and went to quickly writing. He was unaware of the two lurking in the shadows watching him, after the essays were done and he made sure they were legible he was handed coffee by Dean and Neville gave him a pointed look.

"Tell us what they did," Neville said sitting in front of him, "Well?"

Sighing and looking down at the coffee Harry swirled it some before admitting, "I misjudged my position with the idiots," sipping the coffee he sat back some and explained, "They have been well…nice to me haven't they?" that got two nods and Seamus to break out in a smile, "Well I asked them why today… this wasn't them being nice to be nice, or to be my friends they wanted to make the Light look bad and…it's all been one giant bloody bribe!"

"A bribe…the kiss was a bribe?" Seamus asked eyes wide before frowning suddenly, "Why can't they bribe me!"

"Two questions," Neville said softly getting glanced at he turned to Harry, "Who kissed you?"

"Well um…both of them," Harry admitted which made Seamus blink and pout.

"Okay three questions not two," Neville corrected before asking Seamus, "You want them to kiss you?"

"Hello they are both hot-" Seamus said before Dean hit him in the head, "Ow."

"Professors idiot!" Dean said before crossing his arms.

"Final question," Neville said leaning towards Harry some a devious look in his eyes, "Who kisses better?"

"I…what?" Harry was tinted pink now, "I don't know they were both…well quick, an accident and a goodnight kiss…" all three were focused on him, "Guys!" and they huffed and leaned away, "This is a study session not a sexual education class Dean finish your Charms work, Seamus your nowhere close to being an Animagus yet so practice! And Neville come with me," and he stood and walked away with the normally shy boy.

Unaware that he was leading his friend closer to the other two Harry stopped only about five feet from their hiding place and sat on the ground again which made Neville sit down as well, "The Rebellion was excited today I could tell that much…am I truly that frightening?" getting a nod he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Alright well at least one good thing came from the idiots pissing me off, well Seamus is annoying me some so he'll go back to the dorms and you'll come stay with me alright?"

"You need me there to keep your temper in check so you don't pull a rebellion of your own and murder them in their sleep," Neville summarized, getting a nod he hugged his friend, "I'll kick him out for you, now this has gotten you down so…go jogging it calms your mind and I'll play fearless leader until you return."

"Have I told you recently how much I love you?" Harry asked batting his lashes at his friend, getting hit in the arm he laughed and stood up before saying, "Boys Neville is in charge should you rebel or become mutinous against him I will beat the crap out of both of you!" getting two nods he left feeling a bit lighter now that he had talked some of it over with Neville.

As he made his way down to the lake he did not notice the two following him until he was already outside, and he only noticed then because they tried getting in front of him and Harry spotted their shadows in the moonlight. Spinning he saw them and crossed his arms as they froze at being caught, "Lucius explain," Tom said pushing the man forward, they were pretty much facing a loaded gun and he would rather the blond get shot first.

"We um…we weren't trying to bribe you," Lucius said which made Harry raise an eyebrow, "Can we talk in a civil manner?"

"How about…piss off!" Harry went to hit Lucius but the blond caught his arm and twisted up, so he swung out with his legs tripping them both as he hit the ground Lucius fell on him and he flipped the man off and went to slam him in the face but Tom grabbed his other arm, "Uh!' getting pulled up and Tom to try and hold him still he elbowed him with his other arm which dragged Lucius closer, twisting they all stumbled and went down hard, "Get off me!"
