Where did that come from?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;No idea,&#8221; Hermione said blandly, going back to her homework.

Chalking it up to stress, Harry went back to his essay.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Stupid Potter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\tHarry looked up when he heard his name, but there was nobody at his library table. Furrowing his brow, he listened carefully.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Stupid Potter with his stupid glasses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\tStill seeing no one, Harry slid out of his chair and walked softly back towards the book shelf immediately behind his chair.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Stupid Potter with his stupid glasses and his stupid scar and his stupid broom and his stupid arse and his stupid\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\tHarry came around the corner and nearly ran into Draco checking book titles. Draco looked up and their eyes met, the last word lingering on his lips.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6wand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\tThey were standing too close and Harry saw a glimpse of Draco&#8217;s tongue, which up close wasn&#8217;t very stupid at all.<\/p>\n<p>\tAnd the next thing Harry knew, he was going in for better look. Or taste. <\/p>\n<p>\t*\t\t*\t\t*\t\t*\t\t*\t\t*<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;And the next thing I knew I was kissing him!&#8221; Harry exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>\tRon and Hermione said nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Not just kissing him, <i>snogging<\/i>,&#8221; Harry looked extremely perturbed, &#8220;and he pushed me up against the bookshelf and grabbed my arse, and then Madam Pince EJECTED us from the LIBRARY\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\tRon let out a little giggle.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;What?&#8221; Harry demanded. &#8220;Something funny?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;No,&#8221; Ron squeaked. He bit his lip, but snickers continued to escape.<\/p>\n<p>\tHarry looked from Ron to Hermione&#8217;s carefully blank face.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;What&#8217;s going on here?&#8221; he asked, narrowing his eyes. <\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;You see Harry\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6&#8221; Ron tried to explain, then just gave up and clutched his sides laughing. &#8220;Hermione, just tell him,&#8221; he gasped. <\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Harry,&#8221; Hermione said carefully, not meeting his eyes, &#8220;you remember at the very beginning of the year, you asked me to go find out whether or not there had ever been two Head Boys at once before?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;And you said no,&#8221; Harry answered, &#8220;confirming our suspicions that Dumbledore is a barmy old coot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Yes,&#8221; Hermione said. &#8220;But I found something else too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Curse!&#8221; Ron gasped, face dark red from laughing. &#8220;Head Boy curse!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;It isn&#8217;t a curse!&#8221; Hermione snapped. &#8220;It&#8217;s more of a\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6tradition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;What is it?&#8221; Harry asked, reaching up to rub his temples.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;It&#8217;s\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6&#8221; Hermione fussed with her quill, &#8220;\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6er, you see\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;You&#8217;re going to marry Malfoy!&#8221; Ron burst in, clearly relieved to finally be able to rag on Harry about this. Harry froze.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Hermione, what is he talking about?&#8221; he asked carefully.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Every other pair of Head students for the last thousand years have ended up falling in love,&#8221; Hermione murmured very quickly, staring at the floor.<\/p>\n<p>\tThere was a long moment of silence, broken only by Ron&#8217;s hysterical laughter.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;What happened to the Head students before the thousand years?&#8221; Harry asked.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;There wasn&#8217;t a Hogwarts before that,&#8221; Hermione said flatly.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;It can&#8217;t be true!&#8221; Harry protested. &#8220;I mean, there&#8217;s got to be at least one pair of Head Students who didn&#8217;t fall in love!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Your parents,&#8221; Hermione pointed out, so reasonably Harry wanted to rip her hair out. &#8220;Percy and Penelope\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Maybe it isn&#8217;t really love!&#8221; Harry exclaimed frantically. &#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s just frustration masquerading as lust brought on by stress! Did you ever think of that?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Been thinking up excuses, have you?&#8221; Hermione asked, raising an eyebrow.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;NO!&#8221; Harry shouted, standing up so quickly he knocked his chair over. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to go straighten this out right now, you&#8217;ll see!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\tHarry stormed out of Gryffindor Tower, heading towards the Slytherin dungeons. <\/p>\n<p>\tHe wasn&#8217;t more than halfway when he ran into Draco who was similarly enraged, cheeks flushed a bright pink.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;POTTER!&#8221; Draco shouted. &#8220;Snape found out about your little infatuation with groping me and took points away from Slytherin for lowering my standards!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;If I remember CORRECTLY,&#8221; Harry spat back, poking Malfoy in the chest, &#8220;it was YOU groping ME! But it DOESN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T MATTER, because I just learned the WORST THING EVER!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;WHAT?!&#8221; Draco demanded, leaning in closer.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Every pair of Head Students at Hogwarts for a THOUSAND YEARS has fallen MADLY IN LOVE!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\tDraco stopped cold.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Are you serious?&#8221; he asked. <\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Yes,&#8221; Harry answered grumpily.<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Good, then we aren&#8217;t responsible for this,&#8221; Draco said, right before he leaned across the last remaining centimeter between them and kissed Harry roughly.<\/p>\n<div class='wp_likes' id='wp_likes_post-1294'><a class='like' href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(1294);\" title='Like' ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-likes\/images\/like.png\" alt='' border='0'\/><\/a><span class='text'><b>3<\/b> people like this post.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='like' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(1294);\">Like<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='unlike' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.unlike(1294);\">Unlike<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This isn&#8217;t Harry and Draco&#8217;s fault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[187,185,175,84],"class_list":["post-1294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-harrypotter","tag-24-hour-ficathon","tag-hp-harrydraco","tag-hp-trio","tag-rating-pg-13"],"blog_post_layout_featured_media_urls":{"thumbnail":"","full":""},"categories_names":{"50":{"name":"Harry Potter","link":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/category\/harrypotter\/"}},"tags_names":{"187":{"name":"HP - 24-Hour Ficathon","link":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/tag\/24-hour-ficathon\/"},"185":{"name":"HP - Harry Potter\/Draco Malfoy","link":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/tag\/hp-harrydraco\/"},"175":{"name":"HP - Trio","link":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/tag\/hp-trio\/"},"84":{"name":"Rating: PG-13","link":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/tag\/rating-pg-13\/"}},"comments_number":"1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1294"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1295,"href":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294\/revisions\/1295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
