TIME JUMP!! Okay, this takes place near the end of October because my muse was hiding from me until I stopped trying to write in September. Sorry!!

===================

Chapter 18

===================

He hated Snape. Absolutely abhorred Snape. With a passion.

And if he had to make this Removal Potion one more time...

"I hate my life…"

"What was that, Mr. Potter?"

"Nothing, sir."

"You'd better hope so."

He hadn't even done anything wrong! No one sabotaged his potion. He'd done everything right. He'd been perfectly polite. He hadn't even glared!

But noooo. Snape didn't think his potion was right. And he'd told Harry to come in for detention. For no obvious reason.

Harry was pissed.

Harry was ready to hex Snape into oblivion.

Harry smirked suddenly.

"So, sir," Harry started conversationally.

"What is it, Potter?"

"Did my dad take off your shorts the day of your OWLs in Defence?"

Snape paled drastically. "Potter, watch your mouth in my presence."

"What are you going to do about it? Give me yet another detention?" Harry sneered. If he had to suffer without Tom, Snape was going to feel it.

"You do not seem to understand, Potter."

Harry scowled. "Then might you try and explain it to me, like a teacher should?"

"Professor Brutùs is not who you thinks he is–"

"Oh, so he's not a spy for Voldemort."

Snape flinched at the name, but forgot about it as the implications of what Harry had said hit him fully. "Excuse me?"

"Marcus is a friend, Professor," Harry said coldly. "A good friend who I trust, and who trusts me. I know quite well who he works for, just like I know who you work for. I won't compromise your situation if you leave me the fuck alone and give me a chance to prove that I can take care of myself." The young man stood suddenly. "If my potion isn't made to your satisfaction this time, brew it yourself. I don't care." He spun and stormed from the room.

-~*~-

Draco saw the form slumped against the wall not far from the Potions classroom and approached cautiously, already guessing who it was. "Harry?"

Green eyes met grey. "Dray. Wonderful to see you, but you might want to go away."

Draco snorted. "What's got you pissed off?"

Harry cocked an eyebrow at the blond teen. "Studying my emotions, Dray? Tut-tut."

Draco rolled his eyes. "Give me a break. Any Slytherin knows your emotions by now. In fact, I think the whole school has made it a habit to know what mood you're in."

"Am I really that scary?" Harry enquired curiously.

"Aren't you the only one who can defeat the Dark Lord?"

"I hope that was a rhetorical question."

Draco grinned. "Snape, isn't it?"

"Oh, definitely. He doesn't trust Marcus, so he gives me a detention for no reason."

"Did you put him in his place, then?" Draco enquired, recalling how Harry had reacted to a fourth year Slytherin complaining about Professor Brutùs in front of him: violently.

A cold smirk that made Draco shiver took over Harry's face. "Oh, definitely."

"Harry, you know you can get in trouble for that, right?"

"You sound like Hermione."

"I don't really care right now."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Give me a break. Snape has no evidence." The smirk was back, though not as chilling as the first time. "Unlike third year." And, with that, the emerald-eyed teen turned and faded into the dungeons with ease.

How does he do that? Draco wondered idly before turning to head back to his common room. He wasn't quite sure what he was trying to figure out.

-~*~-

"Harry!" Ginny immediately jumped over and hugged her "boyfriend" tightly as the boy entered the common room.

"Oh, hi."

"What's wrong?" Ginny asked, concerned. Most of the rest of Gryffindor paused what they were doing to watch.

As Harry's mood darkened suddenly, the room chilled. "Just Snape. Again."

Ginny cocked an eyebrow at the Boy-Who-Lived. The unvoiced question swirled in chocolate-brown eyes.

"Yes," Harry merely answered.

"Oh, that complete bastard." Ginny hugged Harry again, then took his hand. "Let's go upstairs and you can tell me all about it."

It took Ron until after the two had disappeared up the stairwell to the boy's dormitories to catch on. "Leave the door open!" he shouted up after them.

Harry slammed the door, hard, in response, then threw up Silencing Charms.

"He's going to murder you," Ginny said brightly as she sat on Harry's bed.

"He'll have to get in line," Harry growled, throwing his bag into a corner.

"Okay, spill."

"Snape's keeping me away from Tom just because Tom works for…" Harry blinked a few times before he could finish the sentence. "…himself…"

Ginny laughed. "Well, yes. I thought you knew that, Harry."

"I didn't expect Snape to come out and tell me!"

"Why not?"

"Because there's some Order rule that they can't tell me a damned thing that might turn out to be very important."

Ginny frowned. "There is?"

"Hell if I'd know, but that's how it generally works!"

"Harry, please calm down," Ginny begged.

Harry noticed the flickering candles and immediately made himself calm down. "Sorry…"

"You know, the minute you agree to have sex with Tom, I'll bet these little bursts of uncontrolled magic will disappear."

"Gin, shut up," Harry growled, looking out the window to hide a fierce blush.

"Oh, for Merlin's sake, Harry. Just go fuck the man already."

"Who taught you that kind of language?!" Harry asked as he turned to look at her with a scowl, although he was clearly impressed.

"Fred and George. Who else?"

"Merlin's beard, child."

"Don't call me a child, Harry!"

"Sorry."

Ginny leaned back against the wall and scrutinized Harry's body with a burning gaze. "I almost wish you weren't taken, you know."

"Gin…" It was a warning.

"Sorry." This time it was Ginny who blushed. "Maybe I should go."

Harry snorted and settled onto the bed next to her. "Yeah, yeah. Maybe you should just get a bloody boyfriend already."

"We've been over this…"

"Gin, get a boyfriend who you know will keep a secret. Hell, go find a Slytherin. They all like you."

"Because I'm your girlfriend, Harry."

"Codswallop."

"No, it's true!"

"Gin, Dray doesn't like you because you're my girlfriend. He likes you because you're funny. Bini doesn't like you because you're my girlfriend. He likes you because you're sarcastic. Ted doesn't like you because you're my girlfriend. He just likes you."

Ginny blushed.

"Go after Ted. You two like each other, okay? I've seen it. Bini saw it. Dray teases Ted nonstop about it. Pan can't stop cooing at him. I'm fine with it, so go ask him out already."

"But I'm your girlfriend, Harry."

"And it will be good for you to have a place to go when I randomly disappear at night to, as you so eloquently put it, 'fuck the man'."

Ginny covered a her laughter with a cough.

"Come on. Let's go find Ted for ya."

"No, Harry, really…"

Harry opened the door and was met with a red-faced Ronald Weasley. "Yup! Time to relocate! Come on, Ginny!" He grabbed her wrist tightly and half dragged, half led her down the stairs.

"Potter, what are you doing to my sister?!" came Ron's horrified cry.

"Eh?" Harry glanced up at his best friend. "Dragging her down to the Slytherins. Pan wanted to talk to her while I have a word with Dray."

Ron looked absolutely gobsmacked as Harry dragged Ginny through the portrait hole, which then closed behind them.

"Run for it." Ginny giggled suddenly.

"Beat you to the snake's lair," Harry shot back before letting her go and running off down the hall.

Ginny ran after him as the portrait hole slammed open again. "POTTER! GET BACK HERE WITH MY SISTER!!"

-~*~-

The two Gryffindors were still laughing as they entered the Slytherin commons.

Draco, Pansy, Theodore Nott, and Blaise all looked over to them with amused looks while the rest of the House either ignored them, or looked up only long enough to see who it was. Everyone knew Harry Potter had a way to get into any room in the school by now, and, nearly two months into term, it was no longer a surprise to see the teen enter the Slytherin common room unannounced.

"So, what have you done this time?"

"Escaped from Ron." Harry tossed himself into a chair between Draco and Blaise, leaving the chair between Theodore and Pansy for Ginny. "He seems to think I'm having sex with Gin."

"Against my will, no less," Ginny added calmly.

The four Slytherins laughed.

"So, we ran down here." Harry smirked over at Ginny. "And Gin wants to profess her undying love to Ted here and see if she can get some action with him instead."

Ginny glared at Harry, even as a blush touched her cheeks. "Prat."

"I thought it Gin was with you, though," Draco said, confused. The other three Slytherins nodded.

Harry glanced around, then put a Silencing Charm over their corner and leaned in, inviting the others to do the same. "Consider this me putting my complete and utter trust in you all, because this is one of the biggest secrets I have."

"You know I won't tell," Draco assured the green-eyed teen.

"I keep the secrets of those who keep and protect mine," Blaise swore, referring to his relationship with Seamus.

"I won't let you down on this one, since you gave me a decent nickname," Pansy told the Gryffindor.

"If this means I get Gin, my lips are zipped," Theodore agreed seriously. Ginny blushed even more.

"Good." Harry glanced around at his friends. "No, Gin's not my girlfriend. In fact, we've never even gone out. Our relationship is a cover for the one I'm in with Marcus."

Shock wasn't supposed to be a Slytherin-like reaction. Or, at least, one wasn't to show it. Draco, Theodore, Pansy, and Blaise were all as shocked as they came.

"I guess they didn't expect that?" Ginny enquired.

Harry smirked and leaned back in his chair.

"Is that why Snape doesn't want you near him?" Draco asked, recovering first.

"Nope. At least, I should hope not."

"There goes that reason."

"I'll be damned. That would be something to keep a secret, especially if what I hear from Father is true," Theodore murmured.

"And what might that be?" Ginny asked sharply.

Theodore winced. "That Brutùs works for the Dark Lord…" He looked over at Harry nervously.

Harry nodded calmly. "True."

A wave of shock flew over Theodore's and Blaise's faces again, but Draco and Pansy managed to control it that time.

"You know?" Pansy whispered.

"Yeah. Have known. Hasn't made a difference."

"Wait." Blaise looked like a light bulb had lit up over his head suddenly. "Is it Brutùs, then, that managed to get everyone's parents to get us to be nice to you?"

Harry scowled. "Or so he claims."

"He has that much power?" Theodore gasped.

"Nothing is as it appears," Harry responded and stood. "Make sure Gin's out of here by nine, she'll find me." The young man smirked. "Have fun, kiddies." Then he left with a wave, breaking the Silencing Charm as he went.

"That boy gives me a headache," Draco informed his fellow Slytherins, setting his head on the table with a groan.

"Act like a Malfoy, Dray," Pansy said brightly as Theodore stood with Ginny to show her around some.

"Fuck off, Pan."

"Language."

"Fuck off, Pan."

Pansy gave Ginny a wink and she giggled before following Theodore from the room. Blaise rolled his eyes as Draco glanced up to glare at his childhood friend.

-~*~-

"Oh, you just missed Severus," Tom said as he opened the door to Harry.

"Aw. Damn," Harry said, not sounding at all upset about it.

"What happened?"

"I pissed him off, got him to tell me you're spying for yourself, then left the room in a fit of barely controlled rage?"

"Harry…"

"Hm?"

"Never mind…"

"What?"

"We have to work on your temper."

"Gin has deduced that me having sex with you will help that."

Tom laughed. "Has she now?"

"Oh, yes."

"I'm all for it."

"Ah, no."

"Haaaarryyyy…"

"Did you just whine?"

"Yeees…"

"Oh, Merlin…"

"Come on. There's nothing better than sex."

"Not a chance. I have to meet Gin in less than an hour to make sure she gets back up to Gryffindor safely, anyway."

"You can come back down!"

"No. No, no, no, and no again."

"Oh, come on."

"I have not graduated yet, I will not do it."

"Your will is snapping, I can see it."

"Seeing things again, Tom?"

"You're just upset because you can't see it like I can."

"Actually, no."

"So!"

"What now?"

"What have you and Gin been up to, other than coming up with ways to alleviate your stress issue?"

Harry narrowed his eyes, but went with the subject change. "Well, Ron thinks I'm having sex with Gin against her will, and Gin and Ted are officially going together."

Tom blanched. "Okay, seeing as how I've met up with Mr Weasley's grasp on reality, I can see the former, but would you please expand on the latter?"

"Eh?"

"Gin and Theodore?"

"Oh, I dragged Gin down there and hooked them up a few minutes ago. We kind of told Ted, Pan, Bini, and Dray that you and I are together, but it keeps Gin occupied."

Tom groaned.

"Can I sit in your lap?"

"Can we have sex?"

"I'll take that as a no."

"Damn."

"Are you sure you're not a teenager?"

"Eh? No!"

"Really? You're sure acting like one."

"You'd be acting like one too if you went as long as I have without sex."

"I really didn't wish to know that, Tom."

"Sucks to be you."

"I don't suck anything."

"Yet."

"Shut up, Tom."

"Red really isn't your colour."

"Really. Shut up, Tom."

"Time sure does fly when you're having fun!" Tom said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"It's five 'til nine. You'd better go pick up Gin."

Harry paused. "What?"

"Go."

"What's wrong?"

"Go, Harry."

"Tom?"

"GO!"

Harry left Tom with a sad look.

-~*~-

"What's that look for?"

"Nothing."

"Don't tell me you two got into another fight!"

"It's nothing, Gin."

"You know, I can always get back on my own."

"Drop it."

"You should spend a night with him."

"Gin…"

"The Halloween Ball is next Friday."

"So?"

"You two are dancing and spending the whole night together if I have to tie you together and take your wands. Is that understood?"

"Now you're scaring me."

"Good. I am determined to finish this."

"Says the matchmaker."

"Look who's talking! Golden."

The Fat Lady let them in and they were met with a furious Ron and an amused Gryffindor House.

"WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN FOR THE LAST HOUR?!"

Harry rolled his eyes. "Silencio. Sorry you all had to listen to him rant for the past hour. I promise to tie him up with a Silencing Charm before we leave next time. Night!" he said cheerfully before kissing Ginny on her cheek and hopping off to bed.

"I'm with Harry. It's been such a tiring day." Ginny sighed, looking exhausted. "He's the best." Then she, too, skipped up to her room.

The Gryffindor common room broke out in laughter, catcalls, and applause as Ron looked back and forth between the two staircases, dumbstruck.

No one seemed to want to un-silence the male Weasley once he started to scream.
