Unlike her sister, Harry does look up, and from my angle I can see him frown slightly. "Sorry, Stori, why don't you suggest something?" he offers.

"Don't listen to her," Daphne says dismissively.

"I dunno, Daph, I could use a break myself," I say. "Watching Hermione sit in that same position for hours on end makes my knees hurt."

"You've been watching Hermione for hours on end?" Harry asks with a grin.

I grin back. "You didn't see me change books at all, did you?"

"William!" Hermione scolds, blushing red.

"Actually I saw you change books three times," Daphne says.

I laugh at that. "Fine, fine, ruin my fun, why don't you?"

"Mrs. Moment Ruiner?" Harry asks.

Daphne simultaneously jabs Harry in the kidney and glares at me. I'm tempted to say that she and Hermione can stay while Harry, Astoria, and I go do something, but I don't feel particularly interested in inviting more wrath upon myself any more this trip. 

Daphne had already given me a solid thrashing or three in the dueling room for my performance that first dinner. Stori made it a little worse by actually bringing out said baby pictures.

Okay, I probably should not have pointed out that Harry, Hermione, and I can now brag with complete honesty that we all saw Daphne Greengrass posing nude.

I clear my throat, hoping to redirect the Ice Queen's ire. "Any suggestions?"

"Well anything has to be better than studying!" Astoria says animatedly. "It's nice outside today so let's go!" I wonder if she's more open and expressive from hanging out with us...I seem to remember thinking she was going for a more Daphne-like aloofness the first time I met her. 

When she marches up to Harry and pulls him up and then grabs my hand to lead us out of the library, I decide that I'm right. Just before we exit I glance back to find the two girls looking at each other, but we've turned the corner before I can hear any conversation.

"Where are we headed, Stori?" I ask.

"Outside, like I said." She doesn't drop our hands, but my loping stride gives our arms some slack on either side of our joined hands. Poor Harry is only slightly taller than her, though.

"Shouldn't we wait for—" Harry begins, but Astoria cuts him off.

"Ha! Like they would let me steal their boyfriends away and not follow."

"Um, Astoria, we're not..." Harry says, but once again the young Slytherin interrupts him, this time with a laugh.

"I know, I know...not yet, anyway," she says, giving Harry a mischievous grin. "I bet you date both of them by the time you take your NEWTs, Harry."

I chuckle at that. "I dunno, Stori. I mean, Hermione's a given, but I think it's even a chance between you and Daphne." I pause for the embarrassed look before continuing. "Or maybe both."

Her horrified face makes me laugh. She glances at the ashen Gryffindor. "Um, Harry, look, I like you, but I don't know if Daph would let me date her ex-boyfriend."

I throw my head back and laugh harder.

She painfully pinches a tiny bit of skin on my hand, which hurts way worse than a punch to the arm. "Why are you laughing?"

"Man, Stori, can't you attack me like your fellow members of Harry's girlfriend club?" I wish I could take that back as soon as I say it, because her sudden smile is pure evil.

"Okay, you got me again, what'll it be this time? How can we keep this a secret?"

"Keep what a secret, Lerner?" a cold voice says behind me...a voice I have heard all too often these days.

"I found more suitable punishment for him," Astoria says in her deviously sweet voice.

I gasp theatrically. "Astoria Greengrass, we were bargaining for that secret! I guess I'll have to tell them what you said about dating Harry, now."

"What?" Daphne shrieks, completely losing control of her emotions for the first time.

"I said I wouldn't! I wouldn't!" her sister pleads.

"She only said she wouldn't if you dated him first. Actually she said you and Hermione would both date him, and I think she meant at the same time..."

Icy glare doesn't even begin to describe her expression now. More like murderous.

I speak over the sputtering come from the other three. "I know! I told her, I said I highly doubted either of you two would share, but then there was talk about Harry's harem, drawing up a sleep schedule...honestly I don't know what she was—"

I wake up to find Harry hovering over me. "Welcome back," he says with a grin.

With a shake of my head I get my bearings. "Any blood this time?"

"No, it was a clean fall, and I had a Cushioning Charm ready the second you said 'harem.' I think you pushed it a bit too far this time."

I chuckle at that. "I felt bad that Daph looked like she wanted to kill her sister, so I figured I'd take the heat off her."

Harry rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "I should have figured you did that on purpose. You could have just said you were kidding, you know."

"Ah, but then I couldn't have planted the seeds for your future harem, my man! Sure it's outlandish to them now, but they'll be pondering the advantages of polyamory in no time."

"You sure you didn't do that for yourself?" Harry laughs and continues to shake his head. "You're barmy, you know that? You're lucky they didn't hear you or else I'd have to revive you from another triple Stunner attack."

I choke on my own saliva. "All three of them got me?"

"That's right, if you're trying to build a harem you might want to work on the part where they don't keep you unconscious all the time," he says, then rolls his eyes at my expression. "...and stop grinning like that, I did not mean unconscious in a good way."

"Nah, that's the trick, Harry," I say, clapping his shoulder. "I'm just softening them up for you. You know, accepting their tough love so you can have the tender."

"You're an odd bloke, Will," he says, obviously used to my shenanigans by now. "Come on, let's go catch up so you can grovel."
