~~~ (old a/n) ~~~

Hello again!! I got bored so here's another piece of shit.

Listened to SEQU3NCE on repeat while writing, so that's what this part is based off.

ÒwÓ continue now

---------------------

After the initial discovery of Potter and his fucking electric guitar, no other run-ins with the crazed insomniac have occurred.

However, one thing of note was that the blasted idiot landed himself in the infirmary for passing out in DADA five days ago.

Serves him right for having such a shitty sleep schedule.

At least, that's what Draco thinks about this whole shit show called Potter's continued existence.

Until it happens again.

That's right, the Slytherin squad encounters a crazed Potter the very night he's discharged from the infirmary.

The dunce is back - in the same classroom, with the same guitar, the same ridiculous amount of 'energy drink' cans on the floor, and the same literally everything else.

His clothes are just as wrinkled and disheveled as ever, with somehow even deeper eyebags (if that was even possible - how could that happen after sleeping in the infirmary for four and a half days?) and the same crazed grin on his face.

"Welcome back, friends! Did you miss me?" He sits up and waves enthusiastically as the group opens the door (deja vú, anyone?). "You're just in time for me to start another song! I vibe particularly well with this one, so I hope you like it!!!"

It's possible to hear the excess of exclamation marks in his voice.

Pansy visibly grimaces at the sheer joy in his voice. Draco has to agree that it's quite sickening to hear that amount of sugary sweetness coming from Potter's mouth.

Speaking of Potter, the boy has grabbed out a cylinder with holes and a flat, rectangular object that the group doesn't remember seeing last time they had the displeasure of running into him. It appears that the rectangle is a muggle device to play music out of, and the holed shape is used to amplify the sound.

How revolting, to be in the same vicinity as muggle technology.

Finally, the song starts playing, which almost immediately the Slytherins decide is at way too high of a volume. Sadly, Potter's already playing his guitar and can't hear them over the noise, because something like that shouldn't be classified as music.

"Reject yourself and obey, deny your freedom! Suppress your thoughts and decay, disrupt the sequence!"

Why does Potter enjoy listening to this? Only one of the Slytherins can understand.

------

Blaise empathizes with the lyrics. He can sometimes feel overwhelmed with or angered by his responsibilities as the heir of the Zabini family, but he has to hide his feelings from others in order to not be seen as weak or of poor manners.

(Sometimes he wishes he could just tell someone to fuck off to their face, but he can't exactly do that without lowering his social standing.)

It doesn't help that there's another facet to that, in that he also has to hide his abilities from the non-magical side of his family in Italy.

So, two large parts of his being are forcefully hidden away for his own protection. That makes a great base for a well-rounded personality, doesn't it.

"You sensor your reality, you dance for your demons! You cling to your morality, but not for free..."

By the end of the song, Blaise finds himself nodding his head to the beat slightly, with his compatriots staring at him in confusion.

"Blaise," Pansy whines, "don't tell me you actually liked that- that- NOISE!"

"I've heard worse." He replies nonchalantly. The other Slytherins have disgust written all over their faces. But Potter's shines with a disconcerting gleam of enthusiasm.

"Not the worst thing you've ever heard, huh? Would you like another then, Blaise?" The black-haired boy asks with a grin. "What genres do you like? Are you into soft, sappy bullshit, or ballads, or maybe... something similar to what I just played!?" The idiot is getting too excited. The grin on his face has increased seemingly beyond what's humanly possible, and there's a glimmer of crazed excitement in his eyes.

That boy should get should himself checked out by a mind healer... or maybe he's already too far gone to be fixed.

------

Draco is disgusted that Blaise doesn't hate Potter's noise - music, whatever - and the sneer is set deep into his face. How could Blaise, of all people, be interested in listening to muggle music? He's not sure what to make of his friend's actions, but he's confused about the cause of Blaise's sudden acceptance of muggle creations.

------

Blaise is aware of his friends' sneers, and he is quite frankly done with putting up with their shit at the moment. But they're still his friends, so he doesn't want to push them away accidentally.

Fuck, being a pureblood is difficult.

"You can leave if you want, you know. I'll catch up later." He utters without betraying his emotions. Potter's grin widens as his friends take their cue to leave.

Pansy huffs angrily as she brushes past him, and the others follow suit. Draco, being his overdramatic self, takes the time to graciously inform him that fraternizing with blood traitors is unbecoming. Hilarious coming from the guy whose father has routine contact with the Muggle Parliament as part of his job advising the Minister of Magic.

He doesn't voice that though, as he knows being ignored entirely will create a funnier reaction in Draco than if he'd made a witty remark. And it does. The blond's face turns a cherry red that makes Potter burst into laughter.

As the door finally closes, Potter turns his eyes back to Blaise, still with that insane grin on his face. He opens and chugs down a can of Monster and asks,

"So Blaise, what do you wanna hear next?"
