Author's Note: Right. Before you continue... in order to get the full impact of this chapter, I suggest you listen to Iridescent by Linkin Park while reading the second half of this chapter. So the parts AFTER the scene break: (~*Play Music Now*~) - is the place that you start the music to read. The beginning of the song fits well with the second half of this chapter. I hope you enjoy it.

Dedications: Chapter goes out to the following: KingdomHeartsNerd, Fan of Fics, SoulVirus and Pixiescale1185 (who has reviewed the last three chapters for me. Brilliant friend!)

Title: Hooked On You

Summary: Phoebe and Marcus Flint are total opposites, yet there is something about them that keeps the other coming back for more.

The fourth - and final time - they had hooked up, she was starting to think things were getting a tad ridiculous.

Ridiculous because of the amount of time they spent together and she couldn't even account it as a crime of passion anymore.

Ridiculous because it was a 'this-is-because-we-could-get-brutally-tortured-or-killed-at-any-moment' kind of deal.

Ridiculous because she was fighting against him and he against her! They were enemies!

Had been since the first moment she had arrived at the school... been sorted into Gryffindor... and refused to acknowledge him!

And yet, as she grew older, and he started to see her as more than just a little play thing, she started to see him as more than a Slytherin bully!

Many at school had referred to him as 'Troll', yet she saw nothing remotely wrong with him! She'd be one of the first to admit that he wasn't freaking gorgeous!

If it was a contest between him and Oliver Wood, Oliver would have won hands down!

But it had not been Oliver Wood that she had been sneaking around with for the last five years - give or take.

No, it was ridiculous because they were having a decent conversation, together; just the two of them, and it was one hundred percent civil!

The final battle was over! Voldemort was dead and the Death Eaters had been rounded up and shipped off to Azkaban (well, most of them!) the light side had won!

Harry Potter had lived to be victorious! He had gone full circle and defeated Voldemort once and for all, saving his friends, family and home from the grips of darkness.

And Marcus - he had been rounded up with his fellow Death Eaters; removed from the vicinity of the castle and prepared to be Disapparated to the prison in the middle of the North Sea - or, at least, he would have been, had she not decided to step in.

He had saved her.

It was ridiculous to even consider it... but it was the truth! He could have killed her... handed her over... but he hadn't!

He had protected her! Shielded her when she needed it!

He had entered the fray of fighters, knowing that he could have easily been killed for 'fraternizing with the enemy', but yet, not even that could keep him away.

Why did he keep coming back?

His hand grazed across her arm as he leaned over and whispered into her ear... quietly inviting her back to his dorm room.

And this time - she knew why - and still she agreed.

They had barely made it in through the door of his empty dorm room when their lips came together, although this time it was different.

Different because it was not through anger... it was different because this one was full of pleasure and not conflicting feelings.

Those would still be there to deal with in the morning.

This time it wasn't a rough make out session in the captain's office, or enemy headquarters. This time their clothes were strewn all around the room as they stumbled backwards onto his bed, and the next few hours were a flurry of passion, heat, and sweat as they unleashed their lust for one another against the other.

Their breathing was ragged and her voice breathy as she called his name, his grip was comfortably tight and firm as he held her close, passion and lust radiating off of him and bathing her skin with more than she could handle.

~*Play Music Now*~

Phoebe was the first to wake and much to her dismay she found herself in his arms. He was still asleep, and while they were in the Slytherin dorm rooms, the same place that light from the outside world did not penetrate, she knew that it was early morning!

Slowly, she twisted around so that she could see his features more clearly, his arm now carelessly and affectionately thrown over her back.

He looked peaceful, she noted as her eyes drunk in the contours of his face, his strong jaw, the lines of his nose, and even though his eyes were closed, lost in a deep slumber, she could imagine his brown - almost black - eyes.

The bed sheets pooled around their torsos, and she had to stop herself from running her fingers over his abdominals.

She closed her eyes for a second, and then opened them again with a silent sigh. She couldn't help but hate herself! Why had she let this happen? Why had she let it go too far?

They were enemies!

She was a Gryffindor and he was a Slytherin!

She was in Dumbledore's Army and he was a Death Eater!

They were Fire and Ice - Oil and Water - and yet, she was still hooked on him!

As guilt started to set in the pit of her stomach, Phoebe easily weaseled herself out of his arms, freezing momentarily as he shifted in his sleep. Thankfully, however, he did not wake, merely rolled over onto his side, his back now to her.

Light on her feet, she flittered around the room, finding her clothes and putting them on. She found her shirt on Adrian's bed and her jeans on Miles'. Her shoes were in the hallway, just outside the door.

As she turned to close the dorm room door, her gaze flashed back to the empty space beside him, and she felt tears pool in the corner of her eyes.

"I'm sorry," she whispered closing the door silently, turning her back on several mistakes that she had created in the past five years. "But it would never work... and it is clearly not meant to be!"

But as the portrait of Salazar Slytherin closed behind her, she was left silently wondering if she was making a mistake that she would soon live to regret.
