Chapter 4 – Coloured Hair & Death Glares
"What is this rumpus?" Snape glared to either side of the room that had caused the stoppages of potion making. Noticing his annoyance, everyone got back to their cauldrons. All except one embarrassed green-eyed boy, who now seems to be in a considerable amount of pain.
"Harry? Erm… Harry, are you okay?" Hermione said, shortly after coming down from her high excitement cloud.
"Mmm hmmmm muhhhh!" Harry mumbled his reply through his face full of robes, as his head still resting on his desk.
Hermione sat down next to Harry and placed her hand gently on his forearm, trying to get him to raise his head.
"Honestly, Harry, it's nothing to get upset abo…"
"Nothing to get upset about," he whispered, finally raising his head, revealing a tear-stained face. "Nothing to get upset about! Hermione, do you know what I've just told you. I've just come out as gay… and sworn my undying love for my mortal enemy. This is not a good thing… Not good at all." He suddenly paused, mid rant, realizing that things weren't going as he had thought. It was almost the opposite. "Wait a second, why are you being so nice?" He asked, confusion building through every word. "I've just told you I fancy Malfoy. Draco Malfoy! If anyone should be angry, I thought it would be you."
Hermione's eyes welled up with her own tears. "Harry James Potter. You really need to remember that I'm a girl. I am, most certainly not, Ron Weasley. I understand feelings and from the way you told me, these feelings are real. I want you to be happy and I am glad that you chose to tell me," finally, she added in her own head, hoping that Harry didn't hear. "It's your decision and I can't exactly change your mind, can I?"
Harry's face lit up at hearing those words. He felt so relieved that he threw himself at her for a bone-crushing hug. "And to be honest, I kind of guessed a few weeks ago" Hermione added, this declaration earned herself one of Harry's wide-eyed goggle looks.
"What…How? Wait, which part? The Malfoy thing or the gay thing?"
"Well, both. I guessed that you may be gay before though. I saw the way you looked at the other guys in the corridors. Honestly, subtle much?" Hermione saw the look of shock on Harry's face, "No, I don't think anyone noticed, you actually were quite discrete, but you know how observant I am." She added with a mischievous grin that, somehow, calmed Harry again. "As for the Malfoy thing, it was only a few days ago. We were at breakfast and you were staring straight at the Slytherin table. When I got up and hugged you from behind, well, I honestly didn't want a hug, I was following your eye line, and you were staring right at the one and only."
"Oh… Okay then. Even with that in mind, why are you being so calm about everything? I mean, you hate him."
"I may hate him, but I thought you did too. I still hate him but, with your sense of trust in people, if you think that there's something there, I'll believe you. I won't try even one civil moment until I see a difference."
With that good note, they got back to their potion with smiles beaming from their faces. They were feeling so happy that they didn't hear the buzz that had been going on throughout their conversation and was now moving across the dungeon.
"Ow! Why the bloody hell did you just smash my head on the table?" Exclaimed Blaise as he rubbed his, now, red marked forehead, sure a bruise would form soon enough. "Did you just 'have the urge' because if you did I am sure there are a few Gryffindors that would appreciate it more than I did. Or maybe not. But I am positive that I would've enjoyed it a little more then."
"What the fuck was with that squeal?!"
"You don't even understand how happy I am, do you?" Judging from the look he saw on Draco's face, he took that as a No and carried on, "For the first time ever, in the history of ever… I was right! And not just about one thing, TWO things. What is to be so happy about knowing two things, I hear you ask," Draco proceeded to roll his eyes and continue to listen, "They are not just any two things… I hit the mother load!" He then began jumping and clapping again, not intending to annoy Draco, but still doing it in the process.
"Will. You. Stop. That" Draco said between Blaise's bounces.
"Sorry, babe. I can call you babe, can't I? Anyway, I am just overly happy. I mean, come on, you're gay and you like Potter… I can't believe you told me all of this at once!"
"Shhhhh. Could you say it any louder!? Honestly, I don't want anyone to know." Draco whispered, pulling Blaise down onto his seat.
"Not even Potter?"
"Definitely not Potter."
"Well, why not?"
"Why not? Well, firstly, could you imagine the embarrassment I would cause to myself? He's not gay. He's not even remotely bisexual, and everyone would accuse me of tainting their 'Chosen One'. Secondly, a Malfoy never shows weakness, you know that. Telling him my true feelings would totally contradict this! And…"
"Okay, okay. I get the picture. Embarrassing, straight, feelings, blah blah blah."
"Thank you. Now can we just drop the subject please?"
"Ohhh. Why? I have so much I want to ask you." Blaise whined, adding in his puppy-dog look (again).
"No way."
"Please, please, pretty please?"
"No, babe. Especially not here!"
Blaise's eyes suddenly widened in shock as Draco absent-mindedly returned to their potion. Now this is a first, Blaise thought, I have the upper hand, and he doesn't seem to notice. "Wooo Ho!" He screamed, as Draco's head rose. I said that out loud. Shit. Well done dippy!
"What was that for?" Draco wondered.
"You seriously don't know, do you?" Blaise laughed.
"Is this about the whole gay thing again?"
"Oh you have no idea!" He looked at the blank expression on Draco's face and took that as his answer. "Do you not remember what you called me? Right, let's start the guessing game. First clue, I say it a lot. Second clue, you hate me saying it to you." The blank expression still glossing Draco's face, Blaise decided to subtly drop it in with the last clue. "Third, and final, clue, it begins with B- and ends with –Abe. Now, Mr Malfoy, are you going to guess the answer or are you going to take the money?" Blaise began to milk this, knowing that he may never get a situation like this again.
"I did not call you babe! I know the words that came out of my mouth, thank you very much. I said…"
"No, babe. Especially not here!" Blaise interjected.
Draco stood and re-ran the whole situation through his head and after a small space of 30 seconds, let out a gasp.
"Oh, Merlin! I did say babe. Please don't tell anyone."
"Ohhhhhh. But that takes all of the fun out of this."
"Blaise, come on. I said please."
"On one condition, you actually let me call you babe whenever I want." Blaise smirked.
"Okay. As long as you keep your mouth shut. And please don't smirk. That's my thing!"
The rest of the lesson continued with the usual banter being exchanged and an unusual buzzing still going unnoticed by everyone. Everyone begun bottling and labelling their potions so that Professor Snape could check each one before anyone dared drink them. With the exception of Neville and Ron's batch of the potion, they were all good enough to change the classes' hair, give or take the amount of time it would last. As he handed back the potions, he said,
"Now remember, your hair will change to the colour that you desire at the moment of consumption. As not all of you are gifted in the art of potion making, the time limit will range. The weakest of potions lasting only 5 minutes and the strongest of those," He shot a glance at Draco and Blaise and glared at Hermione and Harry, "will last as long as 2 hours. Drink."
As the class knocked back their vials of potion, there were cheers of delight and gasps of surprise. The largest of the gasps coming at the moment when Harry and Draco's potion came into effect.
"Hermione, why is everyone staring?" Harry asked in a slightly shaky voice.
"Erm… You're kinda, sorta, blonde. Kinda… Malfoy blonde." He said trying to break the news softly.
"What? Honestly, next you're going to tell me that my eyes have changed colour or something." Harry said, sarcastically.
"Look for yourself." She replied, handing over a mirror.
Harry lifted the mirror up to reveal his normal face and his lightening scar, however, being covered by platinum blonde hair. Moving the mirror closer, he saw that his eyes had changed from emerald green to a steely grey.
"Blaise, why am I being stared at?" Draco said
"You know, babe, I never thought I'd see you with dark hair. It does have its good points with your complexion. A lot like your aunt."
"Hold up Blaise. Pause and rewind. Did you say dark hair?"
"Yeah, and not to mention the green eyes. You almost look like…"
"Blaise. Give me your mirror. NOW!"
Blaise handed over the mirror and as Draco admired his looks, he moved the mirror back to reveal his hair. Same style but it was not blonde. It was raven coloured. Bringing the mirror closer he revealed the temporary colour of his eyes. They were now green. Not just any green, Harry Potter green.
"Step aside, step aside," bellowed the voice of their potions master, pushing the crowd of students aside, with Harry in tow. "Class dismissed. You two, follow me."
The Slytherins and Gryffindors filed out of the cold dungeon as Draco and Harry followed Snape into his office.
