Chapter 6: Time Turner
"Come on Daphne we need to get to potions," Harry said straightening himself up and pulling his robes back on.
Daphne pouted from where she was laid naked on his bed.
"Can't we skip, I rather enjoyed what we were doing," she purred twirling a lock of her blonde hair around her finger.
Harry smirked and shook his head.
"Feel free to skip but be gone by the time I get back, yeah? I don't think the lads would be too pleased to know you were sexing out the room,"
She sighed and sat up.
"You're no fun sometimes you know that?"
He shrugged and raised his eyebrow.
"I'm waiting for you which is more than what I had to do,"
"I love you, you know," she sighed pulling her skirt up.
Harry looked at her coolly for a moment before shrugging.
"You're not going to say it back?" she asked gaping at him.
He shrugged.
"Why say it if I don't mean it? We both know we wouldn't be together if it wasn't for our fathers. Or maybe we would and I would love you because it would be off my own back but right now you're nothing more than a fuck buddy I have to put up with permanently,"
Anger welled in her eyes.
"You're hurtful sometimes,"
He smirked and gripped her hair pulling her head back.
"You weren't complaining moments ago," he whispered hotly in her ear before crashing their mouths together.
After a moment he pulled away and looked her in the eye.
"If you don't like how I treat you then you wouldn't come back as often as you do,"
With that he turned and left leaving her to scramble to catch up to him.
Draco raised his eyebrow as Harry sat beside him looking thoughtful.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
"I have an idea for a prank," Harry shrugged.
"And the problem?" Draco drawled knowing one way or another he was going to get pulled into it.
"There's no one to pull it on, it seems like we've had the same victims every time we've pranked someone," Harry sighed.
"What's the prank?"
"Elephant trunks,"
"Then the logical victim is girls, they're more image conscious,"
"Hmm I suppose I could do it to all girls but then if they knew it was me then my choice in girls, to wind Daphne up, would be limited,"
"Dude you could slaughter half the population and still be loved by the girls," Draco said dryly hating to admit it but knowing it was true.
Harry looked at him.
"I suppose you're right," he nodded idly.
He still sat there and Draco watched him expectedly.
"Aren't you going to go do it?"
"Have you shagged Pansy yet?" Harry blurted looking at his twin.
Draco blinked in surprise, that was the last thing he'd expected.
"Not yet, why,"
Harry shrugged.
"Just wondered is all,"
"You're acting strangely, Hades, what the hell is going on?"
Harry grimaced.
"Halloween is coming up,"
Draco mimicked his grimace.
"I know,"
"Do you think we'll pass?"
Draco shrugged.
"My advice to you, Watcher, is loose your virginity before you die. You want to know what it feels like, trust me," Harry said with a nod before standing up.
"Seriously? Hadrian what have you been on!" Draco demanded trying to catch sight of Harry's pupils.
Harry snorted with a sarcastic chuckle.
"Seriously, Drake, you're asking me if I've been on drugs? Do you really think I'm going to take something when I know that at any given moment Voldemort could decided he needs us 'urgently' and whisk us away? I'm not that idiotic you know,"
"Then what the hell is up with you?"
"Nothing, I just find it amusing to wind you up," Harry sniggered before waltzing away.
Draco put his head in his hands and groaned.
Harry would never change.
Indigo watched him walk past her without a single glance, it seemed to her every time she saw him the more she lusted after him.
The aura of power he had just seemed to intensify daily and every time she was near him lust flooded her veins.
Now and again she's feel his eyes slip to her as if assessing something before slipping away before she had chance to catch him at it.
She'd been tempted to remove the necklace around her neck but she knew Hadrian Malfoy and she knew he didn't like people going against him.
She had no doubt she would know about it if he caught her without it on.
But she also knew while it was hanging around her neck she could never even consider finding a different boy because when she considered doing just that and moving on from the self absorbed Malfoy it felt like it weighed a ton.
Hatred bubbled in her as she once again fought against the hold he had on her without even knowing it.
Harry read the newspaper with a satisfied grin on his face.
Umbridge had taken the bait and now it was just a matter of getting the woman's ego to help along the progress.
"Hey Hades,"
Harry looked up to see Blaise sit opposite him and help himself to some bacon.
"Morning," he nodded in return.
"I'm not trying to pry into your's and Draco's privacy, Hades, but have you noticed that Watcher is getting increasingly more and more difficult to wake up in a morning? I tried to wake him up before coming up here and he was comatose, mate. I know he likes his sleep but lately it's like there's something wrong," Blaise stated with a hint of nervousness.
It was hard to tell what moods the twins were in lately and the last thing he wanted was a pissed off Hadrian.
Harry looked at him for a moment before grimacing.
"He's been coming with me on a night time. His body isn't used to doing so much work on so little sleep, so it's making up for it,"
"I have something that could help,"
Harry raised his eyebrow.
"Like what?"
"Third year I nicked Granger's time turner, remember?"
Harry nodded slowly, a smirk erupting as he figured where his friend was going.
"Well I may have accidentally on purpose cast a claiming spell on it so that it returned to me when it wouldn't be missed after she handed it in. With all the checks and paperwork it took for it to be able to get back into the department of Mysteries I hadn't thought that the charm would work but it did. I got it back this summer,"
"Sly you have got to be the most brilliant person I know," Harry grinned.
"I'll give it to you after lessons. Your needs for it are greater than mine. It can only be used by one of the Deviants as well. Added that beautiful charm as soon as I got it back," Blaise smirked.
Harry knew that Blaise truly did think of everything.
The boy was like a Raven in Snakes skin.
"What are you so happy about?" Draco demanded grumpily as he sat down.
Harry sniggered at his twin.
"We've just found a solution to your crankiness, is what,"
Draco looked at him in confusion.
"Dude you've been getting grumpier and grumpier as the nights go on without you getting your full nine hours of beauty sleep. Now while we both know I'm the better looking twin, I decided that we couldn't risk the Malfoy name with your prettiness slipping even further. Sly here has our perfect solution to keep the Malfoy name a shining beckon in such a time of need," Harry snickered.
Draco flipped him off before responding.
"And how prey tell, dear twin, do you plan to do that?"
"Time turner," Harry shrugged helping himself to some porridge.
Draco blinked having nothing to say to that.
Harry looked at his twin as Draco tucked into some breakfast.
He knew while the time turner would help with Draco's lack of sleep it wouldn't help with the boy's need to know that he was safe.
He had an inkling that Draco would be just as restless and sleepless if Harry didn't also take advantage of the extra hours of sleep.
Shaking his head, Harry knew he would need to talk to his brother sooner rather than later.
Draco obviously needed to talk about what they'd been through and Harry wasn't about to let his brother suffer just because he, Harry, didn't want to think about what they'd been through.
Draco looked up as if knowing his brother had just made the vow to talk out their experience.
Harry sighed and motioned with his head.
"You fancy skipping today?"
"Father-"
"Can go blow, Watcher. We deserve to have a day to ourselves without any taxing activities," Harry shrugged standing up.
Draco nodded, deciding to just take the plunge.
What trouble could they really get up to in a school full of professors and students?
Looking at Hadrian, Draco sniggered.
Quite a bit.
