Deck the Halls with Bells of Envy

Chapter III

The students mingled around and slowly began to forget Malfoy's shocking appearance, however one boy couldn't forget, infact he seemed constantly drawn to wherever the blonde was dancing. He took another sip of his fire whiskey and far too blatantly stared again in Draco's direction, this time he caught the sparkling grey eyes as blonde hair whipped over them as he flicked his head in time to the music. The strange strobing lights floating all around the ceiling of the great hall shone a brilliant light over the Slytherin.

Draco was attempting to dance a little more seductively than usual, not that he normally danced of course, as he continued to check Harry had a direct view of him. He caught a glance of Emerald as the Boy Who Lived gawped at him yet again, Draco was definitely going to have to thank Blaise many times for this. Suddenly the music calmed and the lights turned to calm blue colours and changed only subtly from time to time. A slow song came on and people began to pair up, Theo with Blaise, Granger with Weasel, even Neville with Luna Lovegood. Draco was about to go and sit down with the people who weren't partnered up, when a hand tapped him on the shoulder and he turned to see a tall dark haired Gryffindor standing less than a foot from him.

"Hey… err… Malfoy, would you like to… you know…err…" stuttered a furiously blushing Harry.

"Would you like me to save you the trouble, Pot… I mean, Harry?" asked Malfoy as he gave a hint of a grin.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Harry moronically

Suddenly before he knew it Malfoy had grabbed Harry's hand a placed them firmly on his waist just over his arse and then proceeded to wrap his arms around the Gryffindor's neck. It suddenly dawned on Harry what he was doing in front of everyone and saw many staring, however as he looked back at Draco who had moved closer into him demanding his attention he became lost in the grey eyes lined with black. He blocked everything else out apart from Draco. They stared into each others eyes and finally Harry leaned forwards and closed his eyes and as his lips made contact with the other boys they both leaned in and Harry's hands slipped down onto Draco's perfect arse and pulled him closer so that his rather erect prick was felt by Harry's thigh. Harry ran his hands through the Blondes ungreased hair and passionately forced his tongue into the boy's mouth. Suddenly he felt a jolt of pain flash through his entire body, before freezing and falling over leaving Malfoy standing there watching as his love crashed to the ground.

Standing a few feet back from where Harry had been he saw Pansy with her wand held far out and her face looking evil as Voldermort himself.

"Pansy…PANSY!!! WHAT THE HE…" Began Malfoy

"SHUT UP YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" screamed out the half breathless girl. "ARE YOU TELLING ME, YOU DUMPED ME, FOR HARRY SODDING POTTER!!!"

Shocked by Pansy's outburst he could barely manage a few mumbles. She then stormed out not before stupefying everyone in her way. Slowly people left, no one felt like partying anymore, some helped the victims of Pansy's attack while Draco knelt down next to Harry's motionless body, she had actually done a pretty good stupefy on him, although he did have his back turned and wasn't even moving. Then he stirred slightly and winced at the pain.

"Sheesh… What a cow" remarked Harry

Suddenly Draco just burst out laughing.

"OI!!! What are you laughing at you arse face! It bloody hurt" protested Harry although deep down he adored seeing Malfoy laugh like that. He smiled before leaning up and kissing him tenderly.

"I'm going to go bed now, ill see you round" said Harry causing Draco to nod and also leave.

As Harry headed up to the Gryffindor common room the adrenaline from the Party still rushed through him and he desperately tried to calm himself even though he knew he would barely sleep anyway.

As Harry entered the porthole six faces turned to look at him.

"oh fuck" said Harry to himself knowing well what was coming.

"WOOOOOOOOOOO" chorused the others ridiculously childishly.

"Come over hear old chum" Dean beckoned.

"So how far have you gone with him" Hermione instantly butted in.

"Mistress Granger!" mocked Harry "surely these are such inappropriate words for a lady of such knowledge!"

They all laughed but slowly Harry leaked all the information about Draco, infact it poured out so fast he thought he could have accidentally taken Veritaserum.

Finally as he finished his information leak

Ron rather crudely said "Well spank my ass and call me Judy, I'm off to bed" Hermione chuckled then gave him a peck on the lips and retired with Luna up to the girls dormitories.

The other boys followed Ron and as they got changed Sean hurled out 5 more fire whiskeys for them each and they all sat around playing poker.

As Draco entered into the Slytherin common room he saw many faces glaring at him, ever Crabbe and Goyle looked disgusted with him and many were talking with girls who ran up and down from the girl's dorms. He didn't care though, he flopped out onto one of the leather sofas and went over the evenings events as he continued to cross and uncross his booted legs, he wished the evening had ended up with Harry in between his legs. Suddenly he saw practically all of the Slytherin sixth years minus Pansy aiming their wands at him.

"What are you lot playing at" he sneered trying to take control of what seemed a dire situation.

"Locomotor Mortis!" shouted Theo and suddenly Malfoy couldn't move his legs,

"Ferula!" came a second shout and Malfoy's arms were trapped to his sides with bandages. Then they were on him, punching and kicking him repeatedly.

Malfoy hurt all over.

"Teach you to fucking kiss fucking Potter you twat!" cried out a mocking voice.

In Malfoy's mind he only thought three words.

"Help me Harry"
