CHAPTER 2
Teenage boys and some teenage girls are a mess of hormones that tell them to chase anything and everything in a skirt. So it came as no surprise to everyone that conversation in the Gryffindor common room was dominated by the new girls especially the extremely beautiful French Veela.
"I wonder how her lips taste. I heard that when you French a Frenchie you can taste all the wine they've ever drunk. And when you kiss a Bulgarian it's cold as ice but it will be the best kiss you've ever had"
All the guys agreed with this wisdom as it came from the wisest among them in all matters female, Dean, he had after all introduced them to the joys of playboy and utilising a few animation charms that would make Flitwick proud had created a wizarding version. Wizarding families, excluding the Zabini's, generally shy away from matters sexual. Their version of the birds and the bee's conversation goes like this
Kid: Dad, mum where do babies come from?
Dad: Well you see son when a wizard loves a witch he holsters his wand in her…
Mum: OBLIVIATE
And the dad gets the special privilege of sleeping on the couch for the foreseeable future.
(Conversation taken word for word from the Weasley's)
"I bet the French girls are all saying that if they kissed one of you sodding lads they would taste all the shepherd's pie you've ever eaten." Katie provided this little gem of wisdom making all the girls burst out in laughter. None of the French girls had even touched the shepherd's pie.
"Does anyone know any breath freshening charms?" said Dean apparently remembering the copious amounts of shepherd's pie he had eaten. Ginny being the helpful friend she is decided to hit him with the Bat Bogey hex.
"I could have sworn that was the breath freshening spell. Should I try again Dean?" Ginny looked completely innocent as she said this twirling her wand in her hands.
Dean turned completely pale with fear which was a comical site as he still had bat bogeys coming out of his nose. A quick finite incantem by George and all the boys cleared out of the common room to go and discuss the new girls in the privacy of their rooms.
Well almost all of the guys. Hermoine had trapped Harry in a corner and was grilling him about Daphne. Neville had also been roped into the conversation because of his new found association with Tracey Davies. The author was not allowed anywhere close to the conversation because of the look Hermoine gave me.
When Harry went to sleep he couldn't help but wonder why Ron and Draco hadn't returned from the clutches of Poppy yet. Harry's last thoughts before he went to sleep were
"Better him than me."
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
In the infirmary Nurse Poppy had hit both pureblood children with stunners because they wouldn't stop being children long enough to be treated. There was also the added bonus of all the pictures she could take of Malfoy's bald head, Malfoy and Ron in the same bed hugging close like lovers afraid to be parted, Malfoy drooling…
Nurse Poppy was a good woman, a great nurse and overall one of the best people you would ever meet but she was also a prankster.
While the two pureblood scions rested in lala land she had the house elves make copies and put them on the common rooms of all the houses and also among the new schools. Tomorrow would be a great day.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Poppy made sure she released Ron and Draco with only a few minutes left to spare before their transfiguration class with professor McGonagall making them run and get to class with only a minute to spare. They were both out of breath and drenched in sweat but they were met with complete silence. Even the professor didn't call them out for it only muttering something about lovers spending too much time cuddling.
Ron and Draco were too busy looking for a place to sit to notice the sniggers. Harry was sitting with Daphne, Tracy with Neville, Hermoine with Blaise and the rest with their normal partners. This left them with no choice but to sit together behind Lavender and Parvati the gossip queens.
There is nothing worse than talking in a transfiguration class so Ron passed a note to Draco asking why the Snakes were sitting with the lions and thus for almost 12 minutes Ron and Draco exchanged notes as Lavender and Parvati watched.
By the end of the day one question was on everyone's mind
When did Ron and Draco start dating?
At dinner that night Ron was sitting between the twins trying to ignore all the odd looks everyone was giving him when suddenly Malfoy screamed "WHAAAAAAT?!" in a very unpurebloodlike fashion. He stormed over to Ron and demanded they talk immediately after he finished stuffing his face.
"I wish a boy would look at me the way Draco and Ron look at each other; So much passion, so much heat."
The entire great hall had been quiet so Lavender's proclamation was heard by everyone. Ron turned so many shades of red that Dumbledore was heard muttering to himself "I wish my robes could do that."
That night would forever be etched into the legend of Hogwarts, especially after Fred and George loudly asked about the date of the wedding.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
While a wedding was being planned in the great hall, Harry was in the kitchens eating with the house elves. Dobby and Winky were busy regaling Harry with how the good nurse was playing a trick on Ron and Draco. Harry couldn't contain himself Nurse Poppy was playing a prank worthy of any marauder.
The door swung open and in came Daphne only to find Harry laughing hysterically.
"What's so funny Potter?"
"Hey Daph how did you know I was here" said Harry as soon as he had composed himself enough
"Well you weren't at dinner tonight, Hermoine and Blaise are off together in the library and Neville and Tracey are busy checking out flowers in the greenhouse."
Harry smiled at Daphne, she understood him and his sick twisted sense of humour in a way no one else would not even Hermoine. So he explained to her everything the house elves had done as the house elves tried to feed Mr Harry Potter sir's pretty friend.
"So it was Pomfrey who was responsible for the pictures? Everyone thought it was the twins or someone trying to steal their title. Do you know what Snape said when he first so the pictures? I always knew that all that anger was repressed sexual tension."
In that way the night passed with some people exploring new friendships, others were entering into the Triwizard tournament and Ron and Draco trying to figure out how to come out of this nightmare.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
With all of the excitement of the night before no one noticed that Harry and Daphne hadn't slept in their respective dorms so it was quite easy for them to sneak into their common rooms the next morning.
"I wonder who will be chosen from Hogwarts?" that was the question on the lips of everyone and when the dust had settled the outcome would be one that no one expected.
"DAPHNE GREENGRASS"
Dumbledore looked as shocked as everyone else when Daphne's name came out of the goblet everyone except Harry and Daphne that is. Daphne slipped into the ante room while the room was still buzzing in shock.
Before the great hall could recover the goblet threw forth another paper and thus order was restored as everyone waited anxiously wondering what the hell was happening.
"HARRY POTTER"
Harry jumped from his seat whooping in delight which caused everyone to look at him completely speechless which made them miss the reaction of 2 very important people: Dumbledore and Moody.
Harry walked nay swaggered down to the head table looked Fred and George Weasley in the eye and said
"I saved the philosopher's stone in my first year, killed a basilisk in my second year, who really thought I couldn't outsmart a dusty old cup not once but twice. I am a second generation marauder, the first among equals."
And with that Harry turned and with a cape swish worthy of Snape himself strode into the ante room.
Fred and George Weasley did the only thing they could do given the circumstances. They stood up solemnly looked everyone square in the eye and said
"Tonight the cub has finally become a lion and it seems he has a cunning snake by his side. Three cheers for Harry and Daphne one of the many upcoming Gryffindor Slytherin relationships." And thus began a confused round of cheers that would forever be remembered in Hogwarts's folklore as the night Gryffindor added green and silver to their banner and Slytherin had a bit more red and gold.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
When the fanfare died down Dumbledore led the other teachers into the ante room to find out what game was being played. McGonagall and Snape kept exchanging confused looks not sure what they were supposed to do at this point.
Moody was smiling maniacally looking straight at Harry while the other eye was roving all over but kept going back to Daphne. Fleur and Krum looked unconcerned as their respective heads screamed their heads off (pardon the pun) demanding a second competitor.
Dumbledore finally got tired and screamed "QUIET" which had the intended effect.
Rubbing his head and losing the twinkle in his eyes Dumbledore voiced the question on everyone's mind
"Harry, Daphne what the flying fuck is going on here?"
"Language, professor. What is going on here is a well-executed prank worthy of the marauders themselves. I believe in inter-house unity and earlier this year I started to sit with Daphne, Hermione with Blaise and Ron with Draco," which caused everyone to snigger, "This was just a prank and now that it's over can we get the real Hogwarts champion"
Dumbledore looked at the two children uncomfortably afraid to be the one to break the bad news. Mad-Eye had no such sentiments as he gleefully looked at them and said
"Your lovely girlfriend is the Hogwarts champion and since you were called out as the fourth champion you are probably representing a fourth school. If you don't compete in the tournament the cup will strip you of your magic. And you might die but that's just a possibility."
McGonagall looked horrified at the thought that two fourth years would be forced to compete in a competition designed for seventh years. Snape wasn't sure whether to be horrified or delighted so he chose to glare, patented glare number 465.
Harry seemed to read McGonagall's thoughts because he said
"Well this is a competition meant for seventh years so if you take me and Daphne as one person we are in our eight year, overqualified don't you think?"
At that point Dumbledore didn't know what to think and the noise started again with Igor and Maxine talking the loudest. It reached a point where the adults noticed the children had left them bickering like dunderheads and they had to leave.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
In the halls of Hogwarts
"I guess we are officially a couple now, didn't think the whole school would know before I did."
"I expected you to ask. Where is that Gryffindor courage I hear so much about?"
The Slytherin was completely unprepared for the kiss but that doesn't mean there was no response.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Harry and Daphne missed the parties being carried out in their respective common rooms since they were kidnapped by a gaggle of seventh years from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff led by the very able Roger Davies.
We join them with their hands tied behind, their backs sitting on the floor without their wands.
"Well you little shits why won't you tell us how and why you tricked the goblet into letting not one but two ickle fourth years into competing in the Tri-Wizard tournament."
"Well Rodger I would tell you but you suffer from a very painful case of Neuro-faecal Syndrome and I doubt you can understand whatever I'll say."
The seventh years looked completely confused for a moment until a muggleborn in their ranks burst out laughing.
"Davies that little shit just said you have shit for brains."
"Ding! Ding! Ding we have a winner. Daphne tell our lucky contestant what she has won."
"Well Harry she gets twenty points while the rest of her team get an all-expense paid trip to Lala land where they will get a free cranial-rectal extraction."
At that point the muggleborn couldn't take it anymore. She burst out laughing but the looks her friends gave her made her stop.
"She said all of you are going to get your heads removed from up your collective arses."
"You think you are so smart, but we have your wands and there are eight of us and only two of you."
Harry suddenly got a very dangerous gleam in his eyes and said
"There might be eight of you now but I've seen all of your faces. Lay a finger on either me or Daphne and I will personally stalk you in the halls of Hogwarts until I exact my revenge."
Rodger would never admit that he pissed his pants from that simple declaration by Harry Potter, an ickle fourth year. Everyone had heard the stories, in his first year he had saved a rare artefact, in his second year he had found the chamber of secrets and killed Slytherin's beast and his third year was even more secretive than usual.
"Let's go guys we are done here."
"What the hell…Rodger did you just piss yourself?"
