jk rowling owns everything

"So how are we doing?"

Theo was interrupted for the third time this paragraph by Blaise's voice. The dark-haired boy glared across the top of his Potions book at his friend. Sitting in the dim green light of the dark Slytherin common room, the two boys were the only ones left in the space this late at night.

Even so, Theo looked around cautiously before berating his friend. "Blaise, you know you shouldn't talk about this kind of stuff here. We don't know who could be listening." He put a marker in his book and closed in with a resignation to the conversation he knew to be inevitable.

As if on cue, Blaise rolled his eyes. "Like anyone is here at this hour and you know it." The tall boy grinned and leaned back in his chair across from Theo and put his feet up on the table, wrinkling a page in a reference book.

"Sure," Theo said, hurriedly removing Blaises' foot from the book and smoothing the page before closing it carefully. "Just because you can't see anyone means that there is no one there."

Blaise chuckled. "You really are annoying when it comes to all this secrecy stuff."

"Well I have to be don't I?" Theo asked, annoyed that his Potions reading was definitely going to be postponed until the next day. "With you blundering around doing enough damage for the both of us."

Blaise frowned at that, the first serious look passing over his face. "Now, Theo, you know as well as I that I wouldn't go shooting my mouth off just because I can."

Theo narrowed his eyes and considered his friend before relenting. "Alright I suppose we can talk about this now. I do have secrecy spells set up around this table."

Blaise allowed his weight to thump the chair back onto all fours. "All this time you had spells and you still yelled at me?" He looked shocked and Theo tried not to smile. "What is it then? Do you enjoy telling people off or something?"

"I wasn't yelling at you and yes sometimes, especially if it's you," Theo answered with mischief dancing in his eyes.

"Arse," Blaise muttered, crossing his arms but tipping his chair back to its original position.

Theo pulled out a piece of paper from his bag. Tapping it once with his wand spidery veins of black ink appeared outlining a web diagram with names. "So," he started looking up expectantly at Blaise. "Where are you with the Lovegood girl?"

"Good so far," Blaise answered taking on of Theo's essays from between a book and looking at it distractedly. "She seems to trust me so far and so do Susan Bones and Terry Boot. None of the Gryffindors will let me come near them yet except for the Patil twins. The one in Ravenclaw has a bit more sense to her but they still both think I'm incredibly fit."

Theo snorted. "Don't we all."

Blaise raised his eyebrows. "Well if you all don't then you all should." He quieted with the look on Theo's face as the boy looked down the list.

"We need those Gryffindors," Theo said slowly, running his finger across the web of ink on the parchment.

"Yea," agreed Blaise. "Especially because I'm not getting anywhere with Smith. You know that Hufflepuff with the Slytherin disposition? He just looks at me funny whenever I come near."

"Alright, well what about our little Slytherin friends?"

Blaise laughed. "You mean the younger ones who haven't already been bewitched by Pansy and Co.? They're doing fine."

"Seriously, Blaise. We need them too." Theo looked stonily at his friend.

"Seriously, Theo, I've got them. We already have Malcom Baddock, Graham Pritchard, Alex Byrd, Hayley Schott, Anna Terrence, Stephen Banner, the Dell twins and maybe Millicent Bulstrode. She's still deciding but won't talk. And surprisingly we also have the two Greengrass girls. Though it took a lot for Daphne to trust me."

"Hmm," was all Theo said as he focused silently on the list for a moment. "What about Goldstein?"

Blaise placed the essay back down on the desk. "You misspelled that and Anthony? The Ravenclaw? I dunno about him. He's a maybe for now."

"Right," Theo said taking the essay and correcting the mistake before pulling the parchment with the web of names back to the forefront of his attention. "Well when Draco gets Ginny the rest of the Gryffindors will follow." Theo said.

"You hope," Blaise amended.

Theo sighed and tapped the paper again to wipe it clean. "Yes I hope alright? What's wrong with that?"

"Nothing, mate nothing," Blaise said and then chuckled. "Did you see his face though? When he wanted to see if she was alright? I mean come on, it's sickening."

Theo managed a weak smile as he organized his school books. "Yes I saw it; he's never been one for subtlety when it comes to his true feelings. Hopefully we can use his attraction to her for our own benefit without having to involve Draco. That would be ideal."

"Yea sure ideal, but will it work?"

"I don't even know if the plan will work. It's like that, Blaise. I really don't know." Theo was finished arranging his books but he sat back in his chair, relaxing like his friend.

Blaise smiled at this. "But it would be nice, wouldn't it? Clearing the Slytherin name once and for all?"

"You know it's more than that," Theo said, taking off his sweater and revealing his rumpled button down shirt. "It's to stop the mindless violence and prejudice that is occurring in the name of someone who has…"

"Been damaging lives for too long," Blaise finished for Theo. "Yes I know, I read your pamphlet. But offering our help to Potter's stupid club? And getting them to trust us? It's a lot even for a simple minded Gryffindor."

"You forget," Theo said with a mocking smirk. "Who tutors our friend? It's no Ravenclaw."

"That's different," Blaise grumbled. "It's only because he's practically in l-"

A door clicked in the distance.

Blaise and Theo stiffened. "I guess it's time for us to go to bed," Theo suggested.

"Couldn't agree more, old chap," Blaise said in a mocking tone rising as Theo did.

"Oh shut up."

tee hee I love them
