I'm sooooooooooo sorry this took so long. Make it really long to make up for it. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Venom.

It was very late when Harry returned back to Gryfindor Tower and Ron and Hermione seemed to notice this during Herbology the next morning.

"Harry, are you alright? I mean your eyes are almost shut and I think Venom's tendril's are slowly dripping of your sleeves," said Ron.

Harry yawned and said,"Sorry. I went to the Room of Requirement last night but Luna was there and well..."

"Did something happen between the two of you?" asked Hermione in alarm.

"No! she just cheered me up and well...that's all I'm gonna say about it," said Harry.

'Heh, why not? You two didn't do anything over PG, though that could be the author's way of being funny,' said Venom.

"Well, at least one of us is getting something on with the opposite sex," said Ron.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Hermione demanded.

"Ron's got a point, I mean we are all in sixth year now, practically adults," said Harry. "Maybe this year we should try focus a little on...finding ourself a little luck with the opposite sex."

Hermione grimaced and said,"After your little excursion with the opposite sex last year?"

"Okay one, that's a low blow. Two, I was young. Three, Venom could have actually done better than me. Four, I had too much crap on my hands.

"Well, you don't expect us to just magically conjure up someone to go along with us?" asked Hermione.

"Is that a real question? Besides if you two start to get desperate you two can always go for each other," said Harry.

Ron's face color matched his hair and Hermione went a shade of pink and red not yet seen by man. "W-w-ww-what the bloody hell are you talking about? Me and Hermione, that's a load of bull!"

Hermione started stuttering and managed to say,"I think that suit of yours has finally driven you batty!"

With sudden realization, Harry smiled sheepishly and said,"You know what? You guys are right, what was I thinking, I must be crazy."

Harry did not bring up the subject again, but Ron and Hermione seemed incredibly uncomfortable in each other's presence which amused and worried Harry quite a bit.

"Well it looks like it's finally going to happen," said Harry.

"Uh-huh, but?" said Venom.

"What if it doesn't work out between them?"

"Oh come on, it's not like they could have a horrible break up, never speak to each other again, effectively splitting up the golden trio. ...Oh."

Eventually Herbology was over and Harry's mind soon turned towards Quidditch. With Katie still in St. Mungo's, Harry had no choice but to find a replacement for her. Rather than go and hold another long tryout he asked Dean if he'd like to be the replacement Chaser which he eagerly accepted.

Later on in the night Quidditch practice came on though Ron's performance was as Venom put it "A complete and total piece of crap"

"He's right," said Ron in a morose voice as he and Ron started making they're way back to the castle.

"Oh come on, you only play rubbish when you get nervous or lose confidence," said Harry reassuringly.

"So your saying I do play rubbish?" asked Ron.

"Uhh, well..." 'Help me out here Venom.'

'You rock out loud, my brother, go hit on some hoe's huh?' offered Venom.

"You rock out loud, my brother, go hit on some hoe's huh?" repeated Harry who then realized the absurdity of what he just said.

"You want me to do what?" yelled Ron in bewilderment.

"Sorry, Venom came up with it," apologized Harry.

Soon they went to take a shortcut to Gryffindor Tower only to find Dean and Ginny sucking each other's face off.

'Uh oh, overprotective angry older brother in three, two, one,' said Venom knowing what was going to happen.

"Oi!"

Dean and Ginny broke apart startled.

"What?" asked Ginny.

"I don't want to find my own sister snogging people in public!"

"This was a deserted corrider till you came butting in!" said Ginny angrily.

"She's got a bit of a point, Ron," said Harry.

"Er... c'mon, Ginny," said Dean, "let's go back to the common room..."

"You go!" yelled Ginny. "I want a word with my dear brother!" Dean quickly left and for good reason too.

'Oh boy, this is going to go so well,' muttered Venom.

"Right," started Ginny. "Let's get this straight once and for all. It is none of your business who I go out with or what I do with them, Ron-"

"Yeah, it is!" said Ron, rather angry. "D'you think I want people saying my sister's a -"

"A what?" yelled Ginny, drawing her wand. "A what, exactly?"

Venom's face appeared on Harry's left shoulder and said,"A skank? A whore? An easy girl? Maybe even a scarlet woman? Just pointing out a couple of options."

"STAY OUT OF THIS!" both Weasley's yelled.

Ginny turned her angry face towards her brother and yelled,"The only reason your so upset is that you've never snogged anyone in his life, all because the best kiss you've ever had is from our Auntie Muriel-"

"You shut your mouth!" bellowed Ron looking outraged.

"No, I will not!" yelled Ginny. "I've seen you with Phlegm, hoping she'll give you a little kiss on the cheek every bloody time you see her, it's so damn pathetic! If you actually went and got some snogging done you wouldn't mind so much, would you!"

Ron pulled out his wand and Harry knew he had to take action before this got out of hand. Quickly he generated his symbiote covering over his hands and webbed their mouth's shut before either of them could shout an incantation. Then he yanked they're wands off and said,"That's enough! You two are brothers and sisters and I'm not going to stand here and watch you two hex each other!"

Ginny started yelling though it was very muffled under her web gag. "Sorry, I can rip it off, but it'll probably take your face off, just wait an hour an a half and it'll dissolve."

Harry had hoped this might diffuse the situation between them to a degree, but by tomorrow, Ron had become a complete and total ass. He had been exceedingly icy towards Hermione and and randomly swore at impressionable first years. During Quiiditch practice his behavior had gotten so bad, Harry was forced to take action.

"Ron, your my best mate, but if you keep acting like a drunken dragon, I'm going to have to personally kick your ass of the team," said Harry coldly and bluntly.

Ron had a simple response to this. "I resign. I'm pathetic."

"Oh hell no, not on my watch!" Harry grabbed Ron by the front of his robes with his left hand, and then promptly began to slap him rapidly with the other. "YOU ARE NOT PATHETIC! YOU CAN KICK ASS IF YOUR SELD CONFIDENCE DIDN'T HOLD YOU BACK! I'M NOT LETTING YOU !"

This of course did not work either and Harry felt like pulling his hair out on the morning of the match against Slytherin. 'I'm out of ideas, please help?' begged Harry to his symbiote.

'I've got one, Ron's has issues with his confidence right? So let's give him the best source for bringing confidence in a man.'

'...Sex?'

'Yes, but not this time. He'll just get lucky. Real lucky.'

"Hey Ron, do you mind if I put some liquid luck in your drink?" asked Harry with a rather flat tone.

"W-w-what?" said Ron in bewilderment.

Harry took out a vial of his luck potion and pored it into Ron's drink despite Hermione's outraged look. "Go on, there's no harm in a little reasurrance before a big event like this."

"Reassurance?" whispered Hermione furiously. "Ron you can't drink that!"

"I'm not gonna look," and with that Harry turned his head and started whistling innocently. Ron grinned broadly and drank it all up quickly. Glaring angrily at her friend, Hermione whispered,"You could be expelled for that."

"Hermione, I can't get expelled no matter what I do," said Harry with a air of indifference. Extending a hand to Ron who eagerly shook it he said,"C'mon Ron, I believe it's time to make Slytherin's cry."

To say that the game went well would be a understatement by the end of it, even Venom was chanting the "Weasley is our King" song over and over. It was no surprise there was a party in the common room.

"You really shouldn't have done it," said Hermione in a disappointed tone. Harry smirked and said,"Your right, maybe I should have used a Confundus charm or something."

She balked slightly and said,"That was different. That was tryouts, this was an actual game!"

Harry pulled out his vial of liquid luck which for some reason was still full. "How did?" started Hermione in amazement.

"Let's just say I owe Snape money without him knowing it and let's leave it at that," muttered Harry who pocketed the vial. 'Hey Harry, look! Ron's gonna get kissed by someone other than Hermione,' said Venom.

Lavender pulled Ron towards him and then gave him a huge smooch on the mouth as the crowd started whooping. Harry grinned at the sight and then remembered what Venom said.

He turned over to see Hermione walking away from the crowd and realized that she needed comforting.

He followed her until she sat on the bottom of a staircase with small canary birds flying around her.

"Hey, what's with the birds?" asked Harry.

"Charms spell. I'm just practicing," she said softly. It was obvious she was in much emotional pain.

"Well, as usual your really good at your spells," said Harry trying to cheer up and then sat down next to her.

"How did it feel, Harry?" asked Hermione.

"What?"

"Back when you saw Cho with Cedric?" she asked.

It felt like shit, to be honest."

"Well, you didn't know her that well did you? Just like her huh?" said Hermione softly. "But me... I know Ron so well..."

The door behind them burst open. To Harry's horror, Ron came in, laughing, pulling Lavender by the hand.

"Oh," he said, drawing up short at the sight of Harry and Hermione.

"Oops!" said Lavender, and she backed out of the room, giggling. The door swung shut behind her.

'Awkward,' said Venom describing the atmosphere. Hermione was staring at Ron, who refused to look at her, but said with an odd mixture of bravado and awkwardness, "Hi, Harry! Wondered where you'd got to!"

"I'm right here, not being a douche," said Harry rather coldly.

"What?" said Ron angrily.

Hermione slid off the desk and said,"Oppugno!"

Her birds then started attacking Ron with tremendous fury as Ron tried to fight them off.

"Gerremoffme!" he yelled, but then Harry launched a webline at his feet and yanked him down. Hermione then started to walk away, but Harry could hear her sobbing.

Sighing to himself, Harry changed into his costume and swung out a window wondering how the hell he would fix this mess.

'Damn, Ron really fucked up,' said Venom.

'That's putting it lightly, this is worser than anything I've seen them fight about,' said Harry gravely. 'I don't know how they can even be civil with another again...'

Meanwhile... far away...

"And your certain you can handle this job?"

'Don't worry, Mr. Mysterious person. I'm Deadpool, and pulling assassinations kidnappings, and birthday parties is what I do best!"

Back with our Hero...

"She can't complain," Ron told Harry. "She snogged Krum. So she's found out someone wants to snog me too. Well, it's a free country. I haven't done anything wrong."

'Yes, except being a jerk,' said Harry. It was difficult, but he had somehow managed to stay friends with both Ron and Hermione.

"I never promised Hermione anything," Ron mumbled. 'It was an unsaid promise.' "I mean, all right, I was going to go to Slughorn's Christmas party with her, but she never said… just as friends… I'm a free agent…"

"I thought you were dating Lavender?"

"Was, a free agent I mean."

Hermione who Harry was forced to talk quietly in the library gave a similar response.

"He's at perfect liberty to kiss whomever he likes," said Hermione, while the librarian, Madam Pince, prowled the shelves behind them. "I really couldn't care less."

"But you do care." said Harry.

"No, I don't!" she said furiously.

"And incidentally," said Hermione, after a few moments, "you need to be careful."

"I ain't giving back that book anytime soon, Hermione. So will you just drop it!"

"I'm not talking about your stupid so-called prince," said Hermione, giving his book a nasty look as though it had been rude to her. "I'm talking about earlier. I went into the girl's bathroom just before I came in here and there were about a dozen girls in there, including that Romilda Vane, trying to decide how to slip you a love potion.

"Then I'll just drink from the sink. But why didn't you confiscate them?"

"They didn't have the potions with them in the bathroom," said Hermione scornfully, "They were just discussing tactics. As I doubt the Half-blood prince" she gave the book another scornful look "could dream up an antidote for a dozen different love potions at once, I'd just invite someone to go with you, that'll stop all the others thinking they've still got a chance. It's tomorrow night, they're getting desperate."

"Fine, don't expect me to pick you, Ron would blow up," said Harry.

"Hey wait a minute, I thought Love Potions were banned?"

"And when has that stopped people?"

"You got a point," admitted Harry.

They went out of the library and then made they're way into the common room where to Harry's sheer unhappiness, Romilda was.

"Hi, Harry!" said Romilda Vane, the moment he had climbed through the portrait hole. "Fancy a gillywater?"

'Aw crap, she's gonna turn us into her love slave, and she's not even exotic or at the very least French!' said Venom.

"Sorry, had a beer," said Harry.

Romilda blinked and said,"Oh, in that case" She put a box into his hands. "Chocolate Cauldrons, they've got firewhiskey in them. My gran sent them to me, but I don't like them."

'Yay! Chocolate!' cheered Venom.

'They're spiked,' Harry reminded him.

'Darn.'

'Thanks, I'll eat em later," said Harry giving her a fake smile. 'More like give them to some poor sap...'

"Nice," said Hermione who then noticed Ron sucking Lavender's face off.

"Well, good night, Harry" said Hermione. 'This stinks,' thought Venom.

The next day during Transfiguration they had began human transfiguration and Ron the dummy had given himself the most ridiculous mustache the world had ever seen. Harry had laughed with mirth though Hermione did so rather unpleasantly, so Ron got back at her by doing a nasty imitation of her trying to ask McGonagall's questions. Harry was not amused and Hermone was reduced to tears, leaving some of her things behind.

Grabbing them, he started to follow her and found her as she emerged from the girl's bathroom with Luna who seemed to be comforting her.

"Oh, hello, Harry," said Luna. "Did you know one of your eyebrows is bright yellow?"

"Yeah, makes exotic. Hermione, I've got your stuff right here…"

"Oh, yes," said Hermione in a choked voice, taking her things and turning away quickly to hide the fact she was wiping her eyes with her pencil case. "Thank you, Harry. Well, I'd better get going…"

She walked away, leaving Harry even more depressed. "I hate it when they fight..."

"She's a bit upset," said Luna. "I thought at first it was Moaning Myrtle in there, but it turned out to be Hermione. She said something about Ron Weasley…"

"Uh uh, it's they're worst fight so far," said Harry.

"He says funny things sometimes, doesn't he?" said Luna as they set off down the corridor together. "But he can be a bit unkind. I noticed that last year."

'Ron Weasley's a douche!' sang Venom.

"Yeah, Ron can be a jerk but then again he's not exactly Mr. Clever," said Harry. "So have you had a good term?"

"Oh, it's been all right," said Luna. "A bit lonely without the D.A."

"GAH! The D.A!" yelled Harry. "I can't believe I forgot about that! Ah man, I've really been busy..."

"Oh, it's okay, Ginny keeps me company from time to time," said Luna.

'Hey Harry, you should ask Luna to the party!' advised Venom.

'Oh not again...'

'C'mon, what do you have to lose? You'll get those girls of your back at least,' pointed out Venom.

'All right, I'll do it, but don't expect me to fall in love in one night like a disney movie.'

"Luna, how would you like to go to Slughorn's party with me tonight?" asked Harry carefully.

Luna looked quite surprised and had the tiniest trace of a blush on her face and said,"Slughorn's party? With you?"

"Yes," said Harry trying not to sound too nervous. "We're supposed to bring guests and I'd rather bring someone who I can trust. I'll do my best to make you have a good time."

"Ooh, I'd love to go and have a good time with you!' said Luna smiling.

'Hehehe,' chuckled Venom perversely.

'Get your mind out of the gutter!'

"Right then. I'll just meet you in the entrance hall at eight o'clock and I'll think go without my symbiote. "

Before Venom could retort a loud,""AHA!" came from above. They looked up and saw Peeves with a cheshire smile on his face.

"Potty asked Loony to go to the party! Potty lurves Loony! Potty luuuuuurves Looooony!"

"Shut up!" yelled Harry trying to fire a web at Peeves mouth to shut him up, but missed. "Darn, so much for making a surprise grand entrance. Soon enough the whole school knew who Harry taking to the party.

"You dummy!" said Ron in disbelief. "You could have gone with three hot girls and they would have been okay with it! And instead you choose Loony Lovegood?"

"Ron, don't insult her," said Harry frowning.

"I agree," said Ginny. "I'm really glad your taking her Harry. She's so excited." As Ginny walked away, Harry noticed Hermione nearby. "Ron, I really think you should say your sorry. It could really help.

"I ain't getting attacked by her canaries again," snarled Ron.

"Well imitating her wasn't exactly what''d I call being nice," said Harry.

Yeah, it'd made you look like a douche," added Venom who's face appeared on Harry's shoulder.

Ron went red and yelled,"Well she was laughing at my douche-I mean mustache!"

"Venom and I did too, to be honest it was probably the most stupidest thing I've ever seen in my entire life and I've seen quite a few stupid things," said Harry.

"But don't worry, I've seen bigger douchebags than you," said Venom helpfully.

Surprisingly Ron did not tackle him. Lavender had come into the room and in the seconds, the two were attached to the lips.

"Hi, Harry," said Parvati who looked equally as embarrassed as Harry.

"Hi," said Harry, "Best friend's intelligence going down?

"Yes, and it's really sad. Oh, hi, Hermione!"

Parvati beamed at Hermione who beamed back and said,"Hi, Parvati!""Are you going to Slughorn's party tonight?"

"No invite," said Parvati gloomily. "I'd love to go, though, it sounds like it's going to be really good… You're going, aren't you?"

"Yes, I'm meeting Cormac at eight, and we're —"

'CORMAC?

'HOLY SHIT!'

Ron then made an extremely accurate sound of a plunger as he came up. Harry still looked dumbfounded.

"— we're going up to the party together."

"Cormac?" said Parvati. "Cormac McLaggen, you mean?"

"That's right," said Hermione sweetly. "The one who almost" - she put a great deal of emphasis on the word — "became Gryffindor Keeper."

'Oh my god...she is one scorned sister...I have pity on Ron more than ever,' said Venom solemnly.

"Are you going out with him, then?" asked Parvati, wide-eyed.

"Oh - yes - didn't you know?" said Hermione, with a most un-Hermione-ish giggle.

"No!" said Parvati, looking positively agog at this piece of gossip. "Wow, you like your Quidditch players, don't you? First Krum, then McLaggen."

'No, no no, no, this can't be happening,' thought Harry.

"I like really good Quidditch players," Hermione corrected her, still smiling.

'Damn.'

"Well, see you… Got to go and get ready for the party…"

'Venom, I'm scared and disturbed.'

'Your not the only one.

When it was time for the party, Harry met Luna at the entrance hall who was wearing spangled silver robes and looked quite pretty.

'Just remember not to bring her back too late,' chuckled Venom.

"Hi," he said. "Shall we get going then?"

"Oh yes," she said happily. "Where is the party?"

"Slughorn's office," said Harry, leading her up the marble staircase away from all the staring and muttering. "Did you hear, there's supposed to be a vampire coming?"

"Rufus Scrimgeour?" asked Luna.

"They elected a minister to be a vampire?" asked Harry in shock.

'No! Vampires suck! The damn mary sue lovers...' growled Venom.

"Yes, he's a vampire," said Luna "Father wrote a very long article about it when Scrimgeour first took over from Cornelius Fudge, but he was forced not to publish by somebody from the Ministry. Obviously, they didn't want the truth to get out!"

"I can see what you mean, the public uproar would be horrible," said Harry shaking his head.

Soon they arrived and met Slughorn who wanted to introduce him to several people. Harry quickly grabbed onto Luna as Slughorn started to drag him away.

"Harry, I'd like you to meet Eldred Worple, an old student of mine, author of Blood Brothers: My Life Amongst the Vampires — and, of course, his friend Sanguini."

'Gah! A freaking vampire! Harry quick, knock him out, tie him up, and drag him to where it's sunny so he can shine like a pansy. Then wait for mary sue wannabes to come, and then we'll eat his brain!' said Venom.

'What the hell are you talking about?' asked Harry.

'...Nothing...'

"Harry Potter, I am simply delighted!" said Worple, peering shortsightedly up into Harry's face. "I was saying to Professor Slughorn only the other day, 'Where is the biography of Harry Potter for which we have all been waiting?'"

'You'd make more money by writing about each of his years in Hogwarts,' said Venom to his self.

"Oh, I'd rather stay out of the spotlight," said Harry.

"Just as modest as Horace described!" said Worple. "But seriously""I would be delighted to write it myself — people are craving to know more about you, dear boy, craving! If you were prepared to grant me a few interviews, say in four- or five-hour sessions, why, we could have the book finished within months. And all with very little effort on your part, I assure you — ask Sanguini here if it isn't quite — Sanguini, stay here!" added Worple, suddenly stern, for the vampire had been edging toward the nearby group of girls, a rather hungry look in his eye.

'Don't worry, he's not gonna bite them, he's gonna seduce them with his none existence sex appeal.'

"Here, have a pasty," said Worple, seizing one from a passing elf and stuffing it into Sanguini's hand before turning his attention back to Harry.

"My dear boy, the gold you could make, you have no idea —"

"I think some people would like it to be a mystery," said Harry firmly, "and I've just seen a friend of mine, sorry." He pulled Luna after him into the crowd; he had indeed just seen a long mane of brown hair disappear between what looked like two members of the Weird Sisters.

"Hermione! Hey!"

"Harry! There you are, thank goodness! Hi, Luna!"

'Wow, how did I not know this would happen?'

"Did you come out of a fight with Devil Snare?"

"Oh, I've just escaped — I mean, I've just left Cormac," she said. "Under the mistletoe," she added.

"Well you shouldn't have gone with him, he's an assehole and a douchebag. You should have known better, heck I think you did know better.

Well, in my defense, I thought he would make Ron the most mad," said Hermione looking sheepish. "I also considered Smith, but-"

"SMITH? Hermione there's a time and place for revenge and common sense!" said Harry wondering how Ron and Hermione could have let themselves go so low...

"Yes, I did, and I'm starting to wish I'd chosen him, McLaggen makes Grawp look a gentleman. Let's go this way, we'll be able to see him coming, he's so tall…" The three of them made their way over to the other side of the room, scooping up goblets of mead on the way, realizing too late that Professor Trelawney was standing there alone.

"I like Trelawney," Luna said. "Hello," she added to the Professor..

"Good evening, my dear," said Professor Trelawney, focusing upon Luna with some difficulty. Harry knew she was drunk. "I haven't seen you in my classes lately…"

As she and Luna talked Harry drew closer to Hermione and said, "By the way, are you gonna tell Ron you helped win the Keeper position?"

Hermione raised her eyebrows. "I did nothing of the sort!"

Harry chuckled and said,"You can't fool me, Hermione. But seriously, if you don't make up, Ron's probably gonna cost the team the match next time."

"Quidditch!" said Hermione angrily. "Is that all boys care about?"

"I don't know," said Harry. "Why don't you ask Cormac?" Hermone yelped and and quickly scurried away.

"Seen Hermione?" asked McLaggen. "She went that way," said Harry pointing in the opposite direction where Hermione went,

"Harry Potter!" said Professor Trelawney noticing him.

"No I'm not, I'm an figment of your imagination," said Harry hoping she would buy it.

"Don't be silly, dear boy! The rumors! The stories! 'The Chosen One'! Of course, I have known for a very long time… The omens were never good, Harry… But why have you not returned to Divination? For you, of all people, the subject is of the utmost importance!"

"Ah, Sybill, we all think our subject's most important!" said a loud voice, and Slughorn appeared at Professor Trelawney s other side, looking as drunk as an ox."But I don't think I've ever known such a natural at Potions!" "Instinctive, you know — like his mother! I've only ever taught a few with this kind of ability, I can tell you that, Sybill — why even Severus —"

'Uh oh, we're in trouble!'

Slughorn then seemed to pull Snape out of mid-air towards him.

"Stop skulking and come and join us, Severus!" hiccuped Slughorn happily. "I was just talking about Harry's exceptional potion-making! Some credit must go to you, of course, you taught him for five years!"

"Yep, a lot of my skill's are from good old Professer Snape," said Harry cheerfully.

"Funny, I never had the impression that I managed to teach Potter anything at all."

"Ah, don't be like that, you did a great job!" said Harry.

"Well, either way then!" shouted Slughorn. "You should have seen what he gave me, first lesson, Draught of Living Death — never had a student produce finer on a first attempt, I don't think even you, Severus —"

"Really?" said Snape quietly, his eyes still boring into Harry. Venom suddenly felt a force trying to enter Harry's mind and quickly put a mental shield around his host's mind. 'Heads up Harry, but Snape's trying to use Leiglimency on you.'

''That git,' thought Harry who was then pleased by the sudden angry expression on Snape's face.

"Remind me what other subjects you're taking, Harry?" asked Slughorn.

"Oh, I'm taking subjects to be an auror," said Harry somewhat lazily.

"An auror, you?" said Snape with a sneer on his face..

"Yeah, I think I can do it, and I'd make a great one too," said Harry.

"And a great one you'll make too!" boomed Slughorn.

"I don't think you should be an Auror, Harry," said Luna. "The Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. They're planning to bring down the Ministry of Magic from within using a combination of Dark Magic and gum disease."

"They're gonna bring down the Ministry of Magic? All right, I can't wait to be a auror now!" said Harry. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy except Luna.

Harry was annoyed by this, and paid it no mind for Luna was really making this party a lot more bearable, and perhaps even enjoyable.

'Hey, guess who gate crashed!' said Venom. Draco Malfoy being dragged by the ear toward them by Argus Filch.

Suprsingly, Slughorn had allowed him to stay, though for some reason he looked quite upset at this. He then started sucking up to him and Harry noticed that Malfoy had bags under his eyes and his skin was grayish.

'Looks like being a Death Eater isn't all fun and games, is it?' said Venom.

Snape took Malfoy to have a word with him somewhere and Harry debated whether or not to follow them. I twas Venom who pointed they could find out later by going through Malfoy's memories.

Suddenly romantic music was put into place and everyone was told to get into pairs. Harry panicked for a moment, the Yule Ball coming back to him. Luna came in front of him and said,"Don't worry, I can help you dance."

"Um, thanks," said Harry. 'Though that's not what I'm worried about.'

'Harry, your young, you deserve to be in love,' said Venom rather softly.

'What? Love? We're just friends!' denied Harry.

'I think she means more to you than you know,' said Venom mysteriously.

'Maybe that's why,' said Harry quietly.

They started a slow waltz together as Venom began to sing a song. 'Time to set, the mood.'

'There you see her, sitting there across the way. She don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her... and you don't why but your dyin' to try, you wanna, kiss the girl.'

"See? Your doing really good!" said Luna.

"Really? I guess I kinda am," said Harry blushing slightly.

'Yes, you want her. Look at her, you know you do... Possible she wants you too, there is one way to ask her...it don't take a word...not a single word...go on and kiss the girl...'

"I'm really happy you asked me to come, Harry," said Luna. "I really like you." She then pressed her light onto Harry's chest, smiling as she did.

'Kiss the girl...kiss the girl...'

Harry gulped as Luna's face looked at him and somehow, instinctively he slowly lowered his face closer to her's...it was gonna happen he was gonna kiss her...

KABOOM!

A huge explosion rocked the room as a hole in a whole burst through. Through came a man in red and black with knifes and guns.

"Hello everyone!" said the man. I'm Deadpool and I'm here to kill Harry Potter!"

I love pulling cliffhangers, don't I?
