A Good Explanation

A Good Explanation


Harry awoke to find hundreds of eyes fixed upon him. He blinked blearily through his smudged spectacles and wondered why his bottom was so cold. It occurred to him that perhaps it was because his bottom was not covered, and in fact, was the focus of the Hufflepuffs' whispered conversation. Harry realized that he was naked in the great hall. And he wasn't alone.

"Draco, wake up," Harry said, giving his sleeping companion a rough nudge as he attmepted to recall the previous night's events in his head. There had been drinking... Draco had arranged that, of course... and kissing... and groping... and a bit of nuzzling in the corridors and then eventually they ducked into the great hall for a quick shag... Yes, Harry remembered that in lusterous detail... but then they must have fallen asleep here on the Gryffindor table. Oh, dear. Harry nudged Draco a bit harder and hissed at him, "Draco!"

"Nomffphfm..." Draco said, and rolled over giving the Ravenclaws an excellent view of his...anatomy.

The snickering caused Draco's eyes to pop open like window shades, and he lay frozen and unblinking while a mass of students tittered. Harry obligingly drew the hem of Draco's discarded robe over their bodies and snuggled closer to Draco for protection. Hermione was the first to actually address the nude boys.

"Harry, do you mind telling us what you are doing here, naked... with Malfoy?" Hermione said pointedly.

"Yeah, and on the table we eat at?" Ron whimpered.

"Well..." Harry began slowly. He looked at Draco for help, but Draco's face was flaming with color and he had a hard look in his eyes, as though he was contemplating cursing everyone in the room. "Draco and I had a few drinks last night..."

Snickering from the Hufflepuffs...

"And we ducked in here and sort of... kissed and stuff..."

Snickering from the Ravenclaws...

"And then I spoke Parseltongue for a while, because it really turns Draco on..."

Snickering from the Slytherins, and a murderous look from Draco...

"And then we shagged right here on the table."

A collective noise of disgust from the Gryffindors, which was only reasonable since they would have to eat breakfast where Malfoy's arse had been. This caused everyone to laugh except for Draco, who held up his wand and stood up, naked and pink, and announced, "Everyone gather 'round so I can Obliviate you."

Eye rolls from the Ravenclaws and gasps of horror from the Hufflepuffs.

"Draco Malfoy, get down from that table this instant! And put some clothes on at once!"

Draco cringed at the sound of Professor McGonagall's voice, and Harry groaned aloud, hiding his face in his hands. McGonagall stalked over to the table and took up the clothes littering the dining hall. She tossed Harry and Draco their things and said sternly, "I hope you boys have a good explanation for this."

"Oh, they do, Professor," Susan Bones said with a twinkle in her eye. "Wait till you hear it."

End.
