Sorry this took a little while. School started and with all my AP and honors classes it's crazy. I can barely squeeze in all my assignments let alone a new chapter every few days. Thankfully I didn't totally forget about this story and set aside some time today to finish up this chapter. Enjoy it!

You Shine Brighter Than Anyone
Chapter 10

While the rest of the group jumped up in alarm Blaise stayed leaning against the wall, seemingly completely unconcerned that he had been caught doing less than adequate spy work and fraternizing with the enemy.

"Draco, how nice to see you," He said smoothly, "I have three more lines left. You're welcome to do them if you want."

Draco chose to ignore him. "What the fuck are you doing up here?"

Blaise raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow. "Well, Dumbledore gave us this month off to get to know people from other houses so…" He waved his hand, gesturing to the balcony as though suggesting to Draco that the rest was obvious.

Draco turned to Theo and sneered. "I suppose that's your excuse, too."

Theo simply nodded before sitting back down. Harry and Hermione followed suit. Draco looked at each of them in an appraising way before sitting down in the circle himself.

"Fine." He said grudgingly.

Blaise looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean, 'Fine'?"

Draco smiled wickedly before pointing to the pane of glass. "Give me those lines."

About a foot away Theo and Hermione were beginning their own party. Hermione was dissolving her gel tabs under her tongue while Theo was unwrapping three hits for himself. After placing them under his tongue to dissolve he put the rest of the aluminum covered hits away. While in his book bag he noticed a small cellophane bag that he hadn't noticed before. Upon pulling it out he found a ten pack of rolls.

"Bloody hell," he said while recounting the pills.

Hermione, having heard this, scooted closer to him and peeked over his shoulder. She rubbed her hands over her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming. No, this all seemed very real.

"You can't be serious!" She said gleefully.

Draco, who had been spending much of his time slumped against the wall, sat up slowly.

"What? What is it?"

Theo turned around and showed him the lucky find. Draco grinned wildly and in his drug induced forgetfulness grabbed Harry's arm and shook. Harry, frightened but shivering in excitement from the innocent touch, looked over at Theo. When he saw the ecstasy he managed to get into an upright position.

"Are you going to save them or do you want to take them now?"

Theo thought for a moment before dumping some into his hand.

"Fuck it, let's take them now!"

Theo immediately took one and swallowed it before passing one to each of his companions. Hermione looked at the stamp closely. There was a large 'G' on the front and a woman on the back.

"G-spots!"

Theo smiled shyly. "I got such a deal on them too. These are so incredibly good."

Everyone nodded in agreement before swallowing theirs as well. While Blaise, Harry, and Draco were slumped over and enjoying the relaxing feeling of k, Hermione and Theo were starting to feel the acid. Hermione's eyes were slightly glazed over and she was looking up at the night sky as though it was the most interesting thing in the world. When Theo noticed this he looked to the sky to see what was so interesting and ended up seeing all the stars moving slightly into one another, making it seem as though some stars suddenly stopped existing and more were born right before his eyes. When they both pulled their gaze from the sky their eyes met.

Theo smiled. "Hey, do you want to go to the kitchen and get some orange juice? Vitamin C makes you trip harder."

Hermione nodded in agreement. "Yeah, sounds good." Looking over at the boys still slumped on the wall she suddenly felt concerned. "Hey, are you guys going to be all right?"

Draco just scoffed and closed his eyes while getting closer and closer to being flat out on the ground. His body was relaxed, perhaps even too relaxed. He felt totally at peace but there was no way in hell he was moving just yet. Blaise didn't even respond to her. Harry, realizing he was going to have to answer, smiled softy at her.

"Yeah, we'll be fine. Go get the orange juice and we'll be riiiight here."

Hermione chuckled. She knew that if they were half as messed up as they looked Harry's word was as good as gold. She and Theo stood up and, with a wave, walked down the stairs. The corridor at the bottom wasn't nearly as dark as she thought it was going to be. Her energy levels were high and she needed something to do in the time it took to get to the kitchen.

"Theo?"

He looked over at her with an eyebrow raised. "Yeah?"

"Do you want to race to the kitchens? I just need to run!"

"Are you sure? I don't want to beat you and then have you crying later!" He teased.

Hermione grinned. "Oh, you're going to regret that!"

With that being said she took off down the hallway. A bewildered Theo began running a few seconds later. Soon enough they reached the pear portrait, Hermione being victorious. She giggled at Theo who was panting loudly.

"I won!"

He gave her a joking glare. "Yeah, because you cheated!"

This only made Hermione giggle more. After she regained her composure she reached up, tickled the pear, and stepped into the kitchen with Theo in tow. She was about to ask Theo if he wanted to race to the nearest house elf until she saw something that made her stop in her tracks.

Sorry this chapter is a little shorter than normal. I really wanted to save the next part for the next chapter! )
