Chapter Twenty-Seven - Crisps vs Popcorn

Harry enters the common room after his tutoring session. The room was filled, he's never seen so many of his peers down here together; and the house divides aren't as apparent as they were just a month ago. His eyes scan the room for a certain blonde Slytherin who meets his eyes from the couch before he goes back to reading.

"Harry!" Hermione calls from her spot with Daphne, Susie, and Padma, "How was tutoring?"

"Great 'Mione." Harry smiles as he walks over to the ladies and sits down next to Daphne on the green chaise lounge. "It was good, really good. What are you four plotting?"

"We're planning the schools Halloween party." Susie smiles, "We're going to have a fancy dress party for the whole school in the Great Hall, then we're planning an after party for the 7th and 8th years. We're trying to figure out where to have it, it'll be too cold to have it outside by then."

"Do we have to dress up?" Harry groaned.

"Don't be a spoil sport, Harry." Hermione smirks, "You'll dress up and you'll have fun."

"There's no guarantees on that." Harry stands, "I'll try though." He makes his way to the stairs but is called over by Terry Boot.

"Hey Terry, what's up?"

"You seem in a pretty good mood." Boot looks at him before rummaging in his bag, "You want to confirm some stuff for us?"

"He's not going to do this." Mike stops Terry from pulling out the parchment, "You'll just piss him off. Let him be in a good mood for once."

"Now I'm curious." Harry frowns.

"It's the betting polls, Harry." Zach looks up from a book he's reading.

"You're still working on those?" Harry asks.

"Yes, I've collected money on these. I can't just stop until they're done."

"Let me see them." Harry sits down and holds out his hand.

"You're not going to do anything to them?" Terry asks.

"No, I'm just curious." Harry keeps his hand out.

Ron walks over after beating Greg in chess again. Justin took Ron's spot.

"Blimey, you won't let Harry drop his bag off before you hound him with this shit?" Ron complains loudly, getting the attention of most of the people in the room.

Terry hands Harry the poll on the five men's sexualities. He sees that Justin's been confirmed. Harry takes out a quill and crosses off straight before smiling and handing it back. Ron snickers.

"Useful Harry, thanks." Terry frowns.

"You asked me to confirm some things, I narrowed it down. What's next?"

"Hey Malfoy." Terry yells, "You want to get in on this? You weren't here earlier."

"No." He calls back from the couch.

"Come on, Harry's doing it."

"Oh, well, then; if Saint Potter is doing something than I just must. Shouldn't I? I mean, if the Chosen One can humor the plebians, then so should I?... I think not."

"Let me see the next one?" Harry sticks his hand out. Terry hands over the page of his possible ex-boyfriends. Harry frowns but takes the quill and crosses out Colin Creevy and Vince Crabbe before handing it back.

Draco is watching Harry look at the lists and can see his mood shift after handing back the last sheet. Bastards!

"Fine." Draco walks over and rips the page out of Terry's hand. Looking at the list and seeing who he crossed out before handing it back. Terry hands him the list on sexualities and sees what Harry's done. He crosses out straight as well before handing it back.
