The Other Potter

Chapter 42

"So I heard some of the seventh years are going to sneak as much firewhisky as they can into this party" Harry whispered to Ron, Hermione, and I as we sat doing theory work in potions. "That shall be interesting right Hermione?" I asked grinning.

"Oh no please let's not have another butterbeer type incident" Harry groaned exasperated. "Oh Please like you won't be too busy with Ginny" Hermione retorted grinning. "What is that supposed to mean?" Harry asked defensively.

"Oh please" Hermione huffed placing her quill back in her ink pot to give Harry her full attention. "Everybody knows about the Christmas kiss" Hermione said causing Harry to groan. "And you haven't made a move since" I added while Ron sat scowling at the discussion about his little sister.

"Like seriously what's up with that?" I asked. "You can't just kiss somebody and then pretend like it never happened" I said glaring at Harry. "Sounds like somebody is taking out their own frustrations on Harry" Hermione commented smirking.

"What?" Harry whisper yelled earning himself a 'Shhh' from the Slytherin's across the aisle...HAHA Blaise you are so funny...NOT! "Oh you didn't know?" Hermione asked obviously knowing the answer. "What am I missing here?" Ron asked genuinely confused.

"Hermione now isn't really the time" I muttered busying myself with the classwork. "Now is definitely the time" Harry snapped earning another 'Shhhh' from Blaise. "Now is definably the time" Harry said again much softer. "We should really focus on our work" I whispered back glaring at Hermione who was sitting on Harry's other side and still hadn't picked up her quill.

"You're enjoying this aren't you?" I asked rhetorically as Hermione just smiled. "I'm still lost" Ron muttered from next to Hermione sulking in his chair. "Last Sunday night somebody kissed Sarah but hasn't made a move since and now she is taking out her frustrations on Harry because Harry kissed Ginny at Christmas and hasn't made a move since" Hermione explained to Ron who nodded in understanding.

"And now I want to know who it was" Harry said darkly "Can't we just go back to focusing on Ginny? Or better yet; our class work. Come on Hermione you are supposed to be the one encouraging us to do our work" I said desperately trying to have somebody on my side

"I've finished" Hermione said grinning madly "Well I haven't" I said glaring. "I don't care" Harry interrupted getting another 'Shhh' causing me to spin and lean towards the Slytherin's glaring at Blaise. "You Shoosh us again and I'm going to jam your quill down your throat" I threatened Blaise before spinning back in my seat to glare at Harry.

"Just drop it" I said focusing on my work after glaring at Harry.  There was silence for a moment before Harry leaned forward. "Tell me it wasn't Malfoy" He said almost desperately making me groan. "YOU KISSED MMMMHMM" quickly my hand covered Harry's mouth shutting off his rather loud declaration that Draco and I had indeed kissed.

"SHUT UP" I whisper shrieked as Hermione giggled and Ron rolled his eyes at us laughing softly too. "I will use the silencing charm on you" I told Harry very, very seriously. "Is there a problem back there Mr and Miss Potter" Professor Slughorn asked and I autocorrected "Peterson" as usual before shaking my head that nothing was going on still not taking my hand of Harry's mouth.

"Well I for one would like to know what's going on" Blaise said from across the aisle but I refused to look over at him because if I did I would see Draco and I really, REALLY couldn't see Draco right now. "Perhaps you could at least try to find Polyjuice potions more interesting then who young Miss Potter has been kissing...at least for now" the Professor said and I felt my face turn red.

Hermione and Ron's soft laughter had me almost hyperventilating as most of the class snickered while I took my hand slowly of Harry's mouth. Thankfully the professor took our silence as confirmation and he returned to marking the papers at his desk. "Well clearly Potter and I still want to know" I heard Blaise whisper from across the aisle causing me to sulk in my chair "I hate all of you" I groaned willing the lesson to end. I didn't miss the smirk Draco had on his face.
