Overheard

Harry hesitantly followed Draco into the Slytherin common room. It was full of mainly upper years chatting amongst themselves; only one glared at him. Harry recognised the fierce looking boy with a bulbous nose as a beater from the Quidditch team. Everyone else just ignored him.

"But it doesn't sound intimate. It sounds...well...brutal," one of the girls whispered to a friend.

"Yeah, her sex life is too porny, if you ask me."

"Merlin in heaven, is that a banana? And a donkey?"

Harry nearly choked, but managed to hold it in. He really could use a glass of water; his throat had suddenly gone completely dry.

"... nicked it from her room. Listen to this. You're like sunshine on a cloudy day."

"Gah! Can't you see that I'm not well? I can't tolerate nauseating sweetness like that on a queasy stomach."

"Must have been from a Hufflepuff."

"Too true."

Harry quietly wondered if Draco was taking his time on purpose. It seemed that all the conversations around him had to do with Slytherins spying on ... well, he wasn't sure of the victims, but still.

"... got him right where we want him."

"Nah, it's not enough. We need real proof. Something embarrassing."

"Or illegal."

"Even better."

As they reached Draco's bedroom, Harry was thankful to see that no other Slytherins were present. And as he realised that his boyfriend hadn't seemed the least bit surprised or bothered by the conversations they overheard, he was even more thankful to be a Gryffindor.
