Dazzling starlet, James Potter reincarnate
Nico was eating. He sat at the other end of the table, not wanting to be next Lewis, thank you very much.
So he was sat between Sebastian and Mark, the new Defense against the dark arts teacher and an old friend.
“What did you do during the holiday ?” Sebastian asked with his warm smile and shining eyes.
Nico swallowed his food before answering. “I was interrogated by the Minister of Magic because I was friends with Fernando. They tried to know if I was his complice. I also went to Monaco to get tanned.
Nico heard Lewis snigger under his breath. “I’m sure you’d help Nando to achieve what you want, Nico.” The brit said.
“Already trying to get on my fucking nerves, Hamilton ?” Nico answered, murderglaring Lewis.
Lewis laughed. “Well if that’s all it takes !”
Nico hushed and turned to talk with Mark.
“Don’t listen to Hamilton. He’s still a prick.” He whispered loud enough for Lewis to hear it.
Mark laughed a bit and continued to eat his food, laughing.
Nico looked at Dumbledore who just started to make his speech about loyalty and this hard year who will come.
“This year will be a hard year.” Dumbledore said. “First, because Fernando Alonso escaped Azkaban and can be a danger for everyone outside but also because dementors are going to be posted at every entrance of the castle. I would like everyone here to not annoy them because they won’t be kind to you.”
“DUMBLEDAMN !” Someone yelled and instantly, Sebastian hid his face with his hands.
“Mr. Ricciardo, Mr. Leclerc, Mr.Norris and Mr. Albon, it would be nice to not get on Professor Vettel’s nerves. It’s already hard enough for him.” Dumbledore said, muffling a laugh because of the jokes.
“Poor Seb. He wasn’t helped.” Nico thought
The Gryffindor table was filled with laughter because of the four shenanigans. No one even said a word against the fact that Daniel wasn’t even at the good table.
Nico looked at the Slytherins who were murderglaring the Gryffindor table who was loud. Very loud. They were so much like him and Lewis back in the days… Wait no. The fucker wasn’t going to get in his thoughts again. Nop. Not at all.
“I would like to present the new Defense against the dark arts teacher. Everyone please welcome Mr Mark Webber !” Dumbledore said.
Mark stood up under the applause and the whistles. He made a quick speech about being happy to be here with everyone and hoping they would have a great year all together. Why was the Aussie so nice right now ?
Nico didn’t think about it twice and started to eat again before saying a quick goodbye to everyone and going to sleep.
The next day, Nico was going to his classroom, preparing the lesson about the spell that could make a pen write by itself. He thought it was a cool hack for everyone since the students entered their 3rd year and would start to have a lot of homeworks.
He was lost in his thoughts and didn’t see Lewis who was going on the other side of the hallways, studying his equations.
Arriving what should have arrived, they bumped into each other in a loud ‘Thud’ followed by french cursed words for Nico and brit insult for Lewis.
“What the fuck Rosberg ?! Watch where you’re going you bloody twat !” Lewis hissed like the snake he was.
What ? Nico was petty, okay ?
“You should be the one watching where you’re going, mister ‘I’m strutting around the bloody castle like I own it’ Hamilton !” Nico snapped back. What a start to the day. “I’m going to my important class, you bloody idiot !”
“My class is also important ! Fucker !” Lewis frowned and slowly started to get mad.
“Oh yeah because adding numbers is such a cool activity !” Nico sniggered. “There is what ? Three people in your class, including you ?”
“Old Nico is back I see ! You’re back to being a narcissistic and ego-centric bitch !” Lewis yelled.
They were getting closer and closer in the already small hallway. Some 7th year students entered but quickly turned back, not wanting to go between the two teachers.
They suddenly parted, realizing in what position they were. Fuck, this wasn’t in Nico’s bingo.
“Fuck off, Hamilton.” Nico said before going to his class.
He entered the class and casted a spell to put the table away and summoned armchairs. “Hello everyone. Welcome to another year !” Nico said to the class.
“I hope you’re ready to learn things that you’ll use.” Nico smiled and cast a spell to make the cray write the words ‘LH is a twat’.
“First, I’ll teach you how to make your pen write by itself. I know you’ll need it because it’s your 3rd year and there will be a lot of homeworks.” Nico says. “Not with me because I endured what you will endure and I’m not Lewis fucking Hamilton.” Nico sniggered.
He started the class and everything was going pretty well. Hermione obviously mastered the spell very quickly and to Nico's surprise Ron Weasly did it well very quickly.
“Well done Mr. Weasley.” Nico said with a paternal smile.
He was walking in the class when he heard Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson whispering.
“I’m sure that they’re fucking.” Pansy whispered.
“Who and who ?” Draco grinned and asked, after mocking Harry Potter a bit.
“Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, obviously.” Pansy answered. “Some students saw them a few inches next to each other.”
“Mr Malfoy and Miss Parkinson. For spreading false rumors you’ll have to copy ‘I’ll not spread rumors like I was Lewis Hamilton’ 200 times.” Nico said, going between them.
The two students jumped in surprise.
Nico resumed his class, smirking to himself.
Oscar wondered why the Gryffindors were always acting like they owned the castle. Oscar had to watch Lando and all his friends making a horrible joke after Dumbledore’s speech.
Oscar would have died if he was at their place. They were overconfident.
Those were the thoughts that bothered him while he was getting breakfast and then when he entered the Defense against the dark arts’ classroom.
What was the French proverb ? Oh yeah. ‘Ils sont nés avant la honte’, the literal translation being ‘They’re born before shame’. That was something who perfectly defined the four shenanigans.
So, Oscar was lost in his thoughts when professor Webber called him. “Oscar ! Can you please come ?”
Oscar nodded and went to the teacher. “Sure, sir. What’s the problem ?” He asked.
At the same time, Lando entered the classroom, followed by Alex and George. And obviously, if Alex or George were somewhere so were Pierre and Charles.
The two french adjacent were smiling at each other but their gazes clearly said ‘I’d prefer to suck Sebastian’s dick than spend time with you.’ ( that was Charles ) or ‘I’d gladly give a blow-job to Kimi if that meant you would let me in peace.’ ( that was Pierre ) These two were a show.
“I was wondering if you could help Mr. Norris with everything related to his hyperactivity and his dyslexia if it doesn’t bother you.” Sir Webber asked.
Well. Oscar was not sure if he heard well. Him ? The shy Ravenclaw, who’s not good with social interactions ? Someone who would help Lando ?
Well, he could do that obviously. It was in his strings but … why him ? Alex would surely make Lando more calm. Or even Pierre. Pierre was so kind and caring with everyone, apart from Charles, that it would work.
So why him ? Why ?
Well so be it anyway.
“Sure, teacher Webber.” Oscar nodded and Mark smiled.
Oscar went to the place next to Lando. The little walk from the desk to the seat next to Lando.
But this little walk left the place for Oscar to think.
Why him of all the people ? Lando was popular, attractive, pretty and he had all the girls at his feet. So why did people think they would match well?
Oscar had helped Lando once, sure but no one remembered how he took the wrist of the Brit and helped him to cast a spell. And surely not Lando. Lando surely did not remember him.
Oscar went to sit next to Lando.
Lando smiled widely. “Hi Oscar ! How are you ?”
Well, Lando did remember him. How come ? The Aussie didn’t even have the time to think before Lando jumped on his seat and took Oscar’s bag, forcing Oscar on the seat next to him.
“You’ll help me with my dyslexia ? Thanks !” Lando said with a smile.
Behind Lando, Pierre and Charles were paired and looked like they were going to slaughter the other before the end of the hour.
Oscar was betting on Pierre. Lando leaned in Oscar’s personal space with a huge smile.
“Really. Thank you !” Lando smiled and kissed Oscar’s cheek. Oscar knew the Brit was touchy but at that point ? He wouldn’t have thought.
After the class, Lando went with Charles and Alex. Charles who hadn’t slaughtered Pierre. What a success.
“Bye Lando.” Oscar said with a smile.
“Goodbye Oscar !” Lando answered with a huge smile.
Oscar left the classroom and joined Arthur ( Charles’ little brother ), Ollie, Kimi and Robert.
“Guys ! I have a huge question !” Oscar said, just after arriving; “Why is professor Webber asking me to be Lando’s helper ?”
Robert giggled. “You mean THE Lando Norris ?”
Oscar nodded and sighed. “Yes. The only Lando in the school, yes.”
Ollie smirked a bit and Oscar gave him THE glare.
The ‘say that I have a crush on Lando and I’ll tell Kimi about your crush’ glare. Ollie frowned but giggled.
“Well, I don’t know, Osc !” Arthur answered with a smile.
“Neither do I !” Robert said, putting his book away. “Do you want a good thing to see, guys?”
Oscar nodded and Kimi climbed on Ollie’s back nodding. “Of course I want to see that !”
“Hell yes !” Arthur said.
Robert runned into his room before coming back with a black cat. “Look ! This is Fish ! My cat” Robert smiled widely.
“Oh my god he’s so cute !” Kimi got down from Ollie’s back. Ollie was blushing heavily and wasn’t even looking at FIsh but at Kimi with a shy smile.
Oscar looked away at one point, laughing with Ollie. His gaze met Lando's. Lando who had his broom in his hand and seemed to be already staring at Oscar.
The Brit’s cheeks flushed a bit and he smiled proudly at Oscar.
Wow. He had pearly teeth. Fuck was Oscar starring ? Yes. But Lando also was. So it was fine right ?
Lando wawed and followed Charles and Alex to the Quidditch stadium.
Sebastian was daydreaming about his student years in Hogwarts and he was remembering how he met Kimi.
He was stuck in the waiting room before Dumbledore’s office and he was passing the time like he wanted, okay ?
So yeah, Seb was dreaming of the day where he bumped into the embodiment of a fridge. The fridge, like he called him until he learnt his name, would be his husband and the love of his life. It was always funny to hear the students wondering if Kimi and Seb ever fucked.
To their knowledge, yes they did. More than once. It was great, it still was but now, they had to be careful when they were doing it because Lewis and Nico often hid in Kimi’s or Seb’s room to escape the other. Without knocking obviously.
Kimi was next to Sebastian, reading a book about potions, his hand on Seb’s back. Kimi wasn’t a touchy person but he left Sebastian touching him and sometimes, when Sebastian was really stressed he would even start the contact.
The door of the office finally opened. And Sebastian put on his polite smile. God he hated the director of the school. Because Albus was ready to sacrifice everyone to win against Voldemort and that wasn’t how Sebastian thought.
Sebastian stood up, he was sure that Dumbledore left them to wait a lot of time just to make them remember who is the boss and who is in control. Bullshit.
Mark was already in the office, sitting in the armchair and sipping a cup of tea. Since when was Mark drinking tea ?
Anyway, Kimi sat next to the door while Seb went next to Mark.
“Hi Mark.” Seb said.
The Aussie answered with a smile and a nod. “Hi Seb.”
Dumbledore entered and sat next to Kimi.
“I guess we all know why we are here.” The old man sighed.
Oh god, Seb hated when the director played the martyr when he wasn’t, clearly. But yeah he knew why they were here.
“Fernando.” He said with a tone without emotion. “That’s why we are here.”
Dumbledore and Mark nodded. “Yeah, he was our friend back then. But now ? What should we do ? He’s not our friend anymore. Only a killer who slaughtered our friends.” Mark said. “I loved him when we were in school but now that he killed James and Lily ? Well I don’t know him anymore.”
“If he enters the school we give him to the Minister of Magic. End of the discussion.” Kimi rubbed his nose. “We don't need to listen to him. We need to let the Minister of Magic do his job.”
“Well, yes… but Harry he needs to know ? And he’s in danger !” Sebastian whispered.
“He’s in our school. Everything will be fine. He just can’t go to Hogsmeade.” Dumbledore answered. “He doesn’t need more stress than this.”
Kimi nodded and dragged Seb away before the German could argue back. Kimi kissed Seb’s forehead.
“See you this evening, okay ?” Kimi whispered, being extra sweet to his lover.
Sebastian nodded and went into the Great Hall where he saw Harry. God, the urge to reveal everything to the young boy was strong.
Harry looked so much like his father and his mother… Seb always remembered them when he saw Harry.
He went to Harry, ready to tell him but that’s the moment where the four shenanigans and a poor Carlos started their prank.
All the candles suddenly transformed into tomatoes that fell on the Slytherin’s table where all the students gasped.
“LECLERC !” Pierre Gasly yelled, covered in juice and pulp. He was murderglaring the Monegasque.
A Monégasque who was laughing very hard, next to an Alexander Albon who was smiling hard and a Lando Norris who seemed petrified when he saw Oscar Piastri covered with tomatoes’ pulp.
Daniel was high-fiving Charles and Carlos seemed regretful. He clearly taught them the spell but didn’t think they would use it like that.
It was actually a great distraction for Sebastien who completely forgot about Fernando Alonso and all the terrible tragedies of Halloween.
“Misters Norris, Sainz, Ricciardo, Leclerc and Albon. You’re all punished. You’ll have to help Mr. Webber and Mr. Raikonnen with the cleaning of their classroom.” Sebastian turned to Pierre. “And you Mr Gasly, I would like you to not assume who did it, right away. If you were wrong, I would have retired 20 points from Slytherin !”
Pierre opened his mouth in shock. All the Slytherin were insulted by that but kept quiet. At least, they were all with Pierre on this.
Sebastian quickly ate before joining Kimi in his room. “Hey Kimi,” He said when he entered the room with a smile. “I missed you.”
Seb went to bed, cuddling against Kimi who was reading a book. “I love you.”
Kimi nodded.
“I have a question. Not that it's reproach but why do you never say, ‘I love you’ back ?”
“I told you I love you once. I’ll tell you when it changes.” Kimi said, still reading a book.
God, Seb loved his pragmatism. Yeah, he freaking loved his husband. He started to lean toward Kimi to kiss him.
Nico bursted into the room and closed the door behind him. “Fuck ! Lewis is coming !”
“That’s what I planned to do.” Sebastian mumbled under his breath.
Kimi laughed softly. Sebastian lay back on the bed, guessing he was not going to sleep with Kimi, tonight.
Daniel was laughing so hard. God the prank worked perfectly. All the Slytherins were covered in pulp and juice.
Daniel and Charles made sure that no spells could clean it. Only a good shower.
“Do you want us to clean it ?” Lando asked, looking at Oscar. God. His crush was clearly showing.
Lando was one of the biggest participants of the prank but he stopped being so enchanted with the joke when he saw that his crush was also covered in pulp and looked disappointed.
Pierre seemed furious and Charles was looking delighted by that. Poor Pierre was clearly the most covered in pulp. Charles clearly targeted him. What an ass ! Daniel loved the humor of the Monégasque.
“Yes. It would be nice.” Pierre snapped, waiting for the four boys plus Carlos to clean them.
Charles smirked and said “Aguamenti.” The spell soaked Pierre who was dripping wet, his hair sticking to his forehead.
“Ass !” The Frenchman hissed. He looked like a wet dog, his Icelandic eyes shooting lightning at Charles who was taunting Pierre.
Lando helped Oscar to get cleaned while Alex was doing the same with George. George was giggling too, loving the situation.
Daniel looked at Max who just entered the Great Hall, laughing at how his fellow Slytherins covered in pulp.
Max looked at Daniel with a smile and Daniel winked with a flirty smile, making his boyfriend smile.
Then he glared back at Charles who looked like he was going to slaughter Pierre. The former was also staring at Charles like he wanted to kill him.
God. So much sexual tension. Because Daniel was sure it was that. Like the proverb was saying ‘between love and hate there is a fine line’ and Daniel was sure that the French talkers were dancing on that line with each other.
After a few days, Daniel had to do the punishment. So he went into teacher Webber’s office with Charles to help the teacher to take care of the creatures.
“Psst… Charles.” Daniel said. “Charlot ! Perceval ! Sir Frenchtalker !”
Charles groaned and looked at Daniel. “What the fuck do you want, Daniel ?!”
“Are you and Gasly having hate sex with each other ?” Daniel asked.
The Monégasque choked on the air and let go of the glass of water he was holding. “What the fuck Daniel ?! No I’m not fucking Pierre fucking Gasly. He’s so ugly and petty ! Such a bitch. I hate him !”
“Like I didn’t see you checking him out when his shirt was stuck to his body. He’s not ugly and you know that. Even if you hate him you can deny how good he looks.” Daniel wiggled his eyebrows.
“Oh fuck off, Daniel ! Pierre isn’t good looking or even attractive !” Charles snapped back before staying silent.
Oh yeah, Daniel could cut the sexual tension with a knife ! He giggled until Webber shot him a glare.
The next day, Daniel was really excited. Firstly, because he will have a moment with Max after the party and secondly because it was a party day ! And a party in Gryffindor !
But first, Daniel had to survive teacher Prost’s class. History of magic was so boring and Max wasn’t even in this class to distract Daniel’s eye. Well … Daniel was bored as fuck.
“Sir ? I have a question !” Daniel said with an idea.
“Sure.” Alain nodded, stopping his speech for a bit.
“Were Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin gay ? Because there is so much sexual tension between them ! Like some Gryffindor and Slytherin that I know. They say they hate each other but I’m sure they would suck the other without thinking about it twice.” Daniel said proudly, feeling Charles’ gaze on him.
Ah if glare could kill.
“Who are you talking about ?” Pierre asked, frowning. Ugh, he was such a gossip girl.
“Don’t you dare tell him.” Charles whispered to Daniel. “Or I swear I’ll tell everyone about you and Max.”
Daniel closed his mouth and winked at Pierre who rolled his eyes.
“To answer your question, Salazar was with Rowena and Helga with Godric.” Alain answered, not caring about Pierre and Charles.
“Thank you professor !” Daniel answered with an innocent smile that good things never occurred.
The class finally stopped and Daniel ran to catch up with Max.
“Maximilian ! I’ll need you to be my little mouse.” Daniel said with enthusiasm.
“No. I won’t spy on Pierre and Charles. Neither will I ask Pierre about the sexual tension between them.” Max answered.
“Ugh. No fun, Maxou.” Daniel pouted before quickly kissing his boyfriend.
“What should I wear, Max ?” He asked. “My red shirt with black pants or the orange crop top with black jeans ?”
“Uh … I don’t know …? The red shirt ?” Max replied.
“Okay so I’ll put the orange crop top on, then.” Daniel kissed Max’ cheeks. “Thanks for the help.”
Then he dragged Max with him. “Are you really staying in the Slytherin uniform ?”
Max nodded. “Nothing’s wrong with it.”
Daniel rolled his eyes but kept quiet. His boyfriend was not into fashion and he was fine with it. Well Daniel was fine with everything Max said, did or wear anyway so … it wasn’t new.
Daniel entered the Gryffindor common room with a smile, dragging Max in the red and golden loud mess that was in it.
Lando was on his broom thinking about the prank they made a few days ago to the Slytherins. Pierre’s furious face was absolutely hilarious but Lando didn’t think that Oscar would be here with Robert at the Slytherin table.
Usually, Lando wouldn’t have a problem with spraying tomato pulp on everyone even on poor people who just walked near the Slytherin table but when he saw Oscar Jack Piastri , -don’t ask him why he knew Oscar’s full name- covered and dripping of tomato, he would have like to bury himself in a deep hole and never come back alive.
The Ravenclaw had looked at Lando with a disappointed smile and it was even worse than any punishment Lando ever received.
He buried himself deeper into the shame that day when he messed up his hair instead of standing up and apologizing. Fuck he messed up but not only his hair this day.
Maybe he got a few points back in Oscar’s mind when he helped the Aussie to clean himself with a perfect spell that Lando mastered because of Oscar.
The Aussie just said a quick ‘Thank you’ before leaving the Great Hall and since then Lando was thinking and rethinking about how he could have done something to stop the incident…
“CATCH !” Charles yelled, throwing the quaffle to Lando who was lost in his thoughts. “Lando what’s happening ?” Charles asked when Lando barely caught the ball.
“Sorry Charles. I’m just thinking about the prank … Do you think Oscar is mad at me ?” Lando pouted and bit his bottom lip. “What if he does hate me, Charles ?”
“You’re overthinking everything, Lando.” Charles sighed. “I bet he’ll forget it right away.”
Charles flew a bit on the broom before going back to Lando. “But have you seen Gasly’s face ! Oh god. It was the epitome of my day and surely of the week.”
Lando laughed and he started to train with Charles, Alex and Harry. Everything was going quite fine and Lando was sure they would win the match against Hufflepuff. Charles was a great captain even if he was shit to every sport who was not quidditch.
When they finished, they left the stadium to the Slytherin’s team and Lando wondered if he really saw Charles checking out Pierre’s ass while they walked past them. No, he surely saw wrong.
Lando and all the team entered the changing room and Lando took off his shirt, not thinking about Quidditch or about Charles and Pierre. No. Lando was thinking about how Oscar took Lando’s wrist.
Why was this moment always coming back in his mind ?
It was last year when Lando was struggling with the reparo spell. Oscar arrived and said ‘can I ?’ with his cute accent and cute face. Lando nodded, the beauty of this man absolutely shattering his confidence in his straightness.
So the Aussie took his wrist and Lando blushed. For once since a while, he listened to someone without thinking about moving around. He just thought about kissing Oscar.
Oscar teached him how to cast ‘Reparo’ and Lando smiled, dancing a bit and kissing the Aussie’s cheek. This day was printed in his memory and wouldn’t leave soon.
So yeah, perhaps Lando asked specially for Oscar to be his help in spells but it wasn’t because of his crush on the shy Ravenclaw. Not at all.
Fuck the feeling of Oscar’s hand was a bit overwhelming sometimes and he really hoped that no one saw the reaction his body had. He really hoped that.
Lando hoped that if he worked with Oscar he would have a lot of time with Oscar touching him and a few of his disappointed smiles that could hurt Lando more than any spells even the forbidden ones
The brit was very happy because tonight there was a party at Gryffindor. And Ollie said Oscar would come. Lando would clearly try something tonight. He had too ! Lando wouldn’t let a crush make him a blushing mess everytime Oscar smiles at him. No thank you very much.
Lando ran into his room, followed by Charles and Alex who shared the room with him. Lando put a shit and left a few buttons open. Then he put on his black pants and the black jacket he bought at Hogsmeade two months before during the summer break.
Charles went more simple and more simple with a black turtleneck and jeans. And well … Alex put …. Something that would shock Lewis Hamilton if he saw it. It was horrendous but Alex actually pulled it out.
“Let’s go Charles !” Lando whined, dragging the man with him downstairs. “Quicker !”
Charles giggled. “Be careful, Lando. Your crush is showing.”
Lando tried to murderglare the Monégasque but failed because he was too happy to finally see Oscar again. It has been 5 days and Lando already missed the Aussie.
He bumped into Pierre and let Charles with him. “Good party guys !” He said. The Brit saw Charles who was trying to stay away from Pierre but at the same time was staring at the Slytherin who was wearing baggy leather black pants, doc martens, a dark green shirt and a leather jacket.
“Hey Kimi !” Lando said, smiling at the younger one. “Have you seen Osc ? I know you’re friends with him. So if you saw him, can you tell me ?”
“Sure ! I saw him in the Astronomy tower.” Kimi smiled and answered, knowing that Oscar had a crush on Lando.
“Well ! Thank you, Kimi ! I’ll never call you Raikonnen 2 just for that !” Lando said with the biggest smile possible. The astronomy tower ? It was perfect. Lando could ask Oscar to go on a date with him alone.
“I’ll take that, then.” Kimi frowned and nodded.
Lando ran. Because Lando was always running wherever he wanted. He went to the Astronomy tower with a huge smile, almost screaming in joy.
Lando arrived and opened the door but saw that Oscar wasn’t alone. Yeah, Ollie was clearly next to Oscar, their noses almost touching.
“So … you see … I have had this crush for a long time and …” Ollie said loud enough for Lando to hear it.
It was too much for the Brit who turned his heels, tears in his eyes and almost sobbing. Wow. Only love could hurt like this.
He didn’t want to hear Ollie’s confession to Oscar. It wasn’t his business and clearly didn’t want to hurt himself. He wasn’t one of these BDSM lovers, thank you very much.
Lando entered the Gryffindor’s common room again and directly went to take shots of firewhiskey. His plan would be to get wasted until he didn’t remember what happened with Oscar.
A very simple plan which would perfectly work. He drank with Max and Daniel, keeping up with the advance the two men already had.
He saw Charles coming to him and smiled.
“I just escaped Pierre. Why is he such an ass ?” Charles moaned to Lando. Lando was getting shots after shots, not really listening to Charles but right now ? It would be okay. Charles didn’t need more.
When the Brit left Charles with Pierre it only took 30 seconds to the Frenchtalkers before they started to bicker. George and Alex weren’t around so they really enjoyed this time where they could annoy the other like they wanted.
“Ugh. And why does he look so badass tonight ?” Charles’ gaze went on Pierre, Alex and George who were dancing on some Abba. Well, the DJ had good taste in music. Abba would never disappear.
And Charles knew that everyone looked good while dancing on Abba. It was surely why Pierre was so good looking.
“He’s such an ass. He didn’t even bother to look at me while he was insulting me !” Charles groaned, sipping his red wine.
Charles starred at Pierre who was dancing with a 7th year. Jeremy if Charles remembered well. God it was so annoying. Pierre had already all the Slytherins at his feet. Why did he need the Gryffindors too ?
Because of course, it was that who was messin with Charles’s mind. Nothing else and clearly not Pierre’s hips who were grinding against Jeremy’s. Nop. Not at all.
Not at all. Charles wasn’t turned on just by thinking about how it would feel to have Pierre’s hips grinding against Charles’. No.
Alex, George and Pierre came to Charles, the Frenchman letting Jeremy behind but not after winking at the Gryffindor, clearly making a promise.
Why the fuck was the french looking so good right now ? Charles was clearly drunk because he absolutely hated Pierre.
“Hello, Charles !” George said with a smile. “How are you ? Having fun ?”
“Absolutely.” The Monégasque answered, not looking at Pierre. Thank you but his brain didn’t need that.
“I’m getting drinks. Do you want something Charles ? And you Pierre ?” Alex asked with his warm smile. “Oh and I’ll take care of Lando … he seemed … weird.”
“A glass of red wine would be good please.” Pierre answered with a polite and kind smile.
“Thank you, Lex. A Firewhiskey will be good.” Charles replied with an even more polite and kind smile. He wasn’t going to let Pierre charm Alex and become a part of the shenanigans. No. Nop. Over his dead hot body.
Alex and George went to take the alcohol and put Lando in bed before the Brit did something he would regret.
“Really Gasly ? Red wine ? How french it is ?” Charles sniggered, already in the offensive mode.
“You were drinking one twenty minutes ago. And yeah, I’m french. Well done. Everyone could guess with my accent. Do you want a medal ?” The Frenchman snapped back, going into defensive mode.
Yeah okay, Pierre’s accent was very audible, he couldn’t deny that. Everyone who had at least one ear could guess Pierre’s home country.
“Very funny, Gasly.” Charles hissed back.
“Not a petty comeback ? You’re getting old Leclerc.” Pierre sniggered. “Or maybe you drank too much ? Knowing you it wouldn’t be a surprise.”
Charles sighed with annoyance. “You’re just like ‘La foule’ in Edith Piaf’s song. Always annoying me even if you pushed George and Alex in my way.”
“I hope you’ll have the same destiny as the man, then.” Pierre snapped back. “You’re such a bitch, Leclerc.”
Charles’ eyes narrowed, looking furious. “And you’re a fucker. I bet you would have fuck Jeremy if he asked. Without even thinking about it twice. You’re a twat ! So bloody fucking annoying. How can George consider you as his best friend ? You’re just a narcissistic twat and a fucking egocentric man.”
Charles regretted the words right after he said them. Okay he went a bit too far away. He knew that Pierre always did the best for George because Pierre always cared for other people - and especially his friends- more than himself.
“Well you know what ?” Pierre said in a cold tone he never used even with Charles. “Like you said, I’m going to get lay with Jeremy who’s a very nice guy and who’s not a fucking asshole like some Monégasque I have the bad luck to know. Never insult what I and George have. He’s my best friend and one the people I’ll always care for.”
And with that he turned his heels, snapping the glass of George’s hand with a quick ‘Thank you.’. Even angry, Pierre was polite and nice.
Pierre sipped the glass of red wine in one sip and god that was hot. Well no. It wasn’t. Charles was just drunk and everyone would look hot in that state.
Charles watched Jeremy and Pierre going into Jeremy’s room. He felt a weird feeling. Surely pity for Jeremy.
“Here you glass !” Alex said, giving the glass to Charles who- just like Pierre before him- drank it in one sip. Ugh. The whiskey burned his throat on the way but whatever, Charles just wanted to go in his bed and sleep until Halloween in two weeks.
“I’m going to sleep.” Charles sighed. “Night Alex. Good night George. By the way, Pierre won’t come back with you tonight in your dorms because he’s fucking Jeremy in 7th year.”
Charles put the glass on the table, almost breaking it. George nodded and waved goodbye. How could this man be a Slytherin ? He was too nice for that.
Well, Charles knew that not all the Slytherins were bad but George was too good even for this world to be in Slytherin. He was the only one who could deserve Alex.
Charles started to stumble through the crowd, climbing the stairs while thinking.
What happened tonight ? Usually, when he was drunk, he wasn’t thinking about Pierre fucking Gasly on his knees for a man.
And he was clearly not thinking it would be hot to have Pierre on his knees for him. Yeah. Charles clearly drank too much.
Maybe not as much as Lando who was already snoring in the bed next to Charles’. The Monégasque only heard words like ‘Oscar’, ‘Ollie’, ‘Date’ and ‘please choose me’. And right now, it wasn’t his problem at all.
Charles fell on his bed and curled up under the covers, already feeling so tired. After a few minutes, Charles was asleep, still dressed in his uniform.
After a few weeks of the school year, Lewis was already tired of seeing Nico fucking Rosberg everywhere.
Everywhere. Even in the teachers private bathroom. Oh. It had been very awkward to see his ex half-naked. With only a little towel around his waist.
That’s why Lewis was sitting as far away from Nico as he could. Even if it meant that he would have to support Trewlaney’s predictions during all the Halloween dinner. At least, it wasn't Nico’s petty remarks that annoyed Lewis a lot.
The ghosts were making a little show and the ambiance was really good for the students. It was harder for Lewis, Sebastian, Kimi, Mark and … Nico. It had been 12 years since Lily and James died but no one of them could erase it from their memories. And now Fernando escaped …
Well. It was a hard day for everyone. Nico didn’t make a bitchy remark to Lewis when they bumped into each other this morning. That was how much they were hurt.
Nico was smiling while talking with Jenson Button the astronomy teacher but the smile was a fake one. Lewis still could tell the difference even after all this time. Nico’s fake smiles never reached his eyes and never made his eyebrows scrunched.
Nico and Lewis stood up at the same time when they heard the sounds coming from outside of the Gryffindor common room.
Nico sighed but followed Lewis, pushing by the crowd to see the portrait in front of the tower which was keeping the common room.
Lewis felt Nico’s hand on his lower back when someone bumped too hard against the Arithmancy teacher.
“I don’t need your fucking help, Rosberg !” Lewis snapped, not caring about people around.
“I won’t lose someone on Halloween again, Lewis !” Nico hissed back, staring at Lewis.
That’s why Lewis instantly saw when Nico became pale and whispered “Fuck, Lew … Look''
The Brit even argued against the nickname like he had planned to when he saw the portrait of the Fat Lady torn into pieces.
“What the fuck” The teachers whispered in synch.
They looked at each other with widened eyes. “Fernando.”
They became even paler -well if it was possible for Nico- and turned to search for Harry in the crowd.
When they finally spotted him they sighed in relief. If they had lost Harry on this special day ? It would have destroyed them completely.
Dumbledore who was talking to the Fat Lady came back and used a spell to amplify his voice. “Every student has to go to the Great Hall ! It’s an order for your security because Fernando entered the castle. Teachers Prost and Senna will watch over you while the others are going to chase group of two Fernando.”
Lewis and Nico looked at each other and they didn’t have to say a word before they ran to chase after Fernando together.
The two men didn’t even feel the need to talk together, knowing where the other would go and where Fernando could hide.
A sudden noise next to the hidden passage for the Shrieking Shack made the two men jump in surprise and they instantly got into combat positions, back to back.
“Fuck.” Nico whispered.
Lewis shivered when he heard Nico’s hair against his neck. “Britney. Your hair.”
Nico groaned “ Do you think it’s the fucking time to think about that ?!”
Nico kneeled and casted Lumos in the passage to see if someone was inside. “No one. Surely just a dog”
They both sighed and went back to the Great Hall, Lewis touching the part of skin where Nico’s hair brushed.
The teachers entered the Great Hall and started to do their turn, talking very quietly to not wake up the students.
They stopped next to Harry, Hermione and Ron. Nico looked at Harry while Lewis was looking around, making sure that Fernando wasn’t hiding in the shadows, ready to kill him if he tried to touch one of Harry’s hair.
“Hazza should know about the situation.” Nico whispered to Lewis, using Harry’s nickname from when he was a child.
“Albus said it would make his hero complex appear. I don’t want Nando to kill another Potter. Fuck he came to kill Harry on bloody Halloween. If that’s not putting salt in the wounds so what is it ?” Lewis argued back with a low tone.
“It’s so hard to see Harry growing and looking so much like James … And we can’t say to him that we gave the pictures to Hagrid. He would hate us to have kept this hidden.” Nico sighed.
Kimi, Seb and Mark entered the Great Hall. Nico joined them quickly, almost strutting.
Lewis stared at Harry once more before joining the other teachers.
“Did Fernando really come here on Halloween to kill Harry ? How fucked up is that?” Mark said with a pained look. After all, Fernando was Mark’s lover before … Everything happened. Lewis was almost sure that somehow the Aussie still had tiny feelings for the murderer.
“Really fucked up.” Sebastian said. Kimi was holding him so that meant that poor Seb was really stressed. Seb was his friend and he didn’t like to see him like that … Seb was lucky to have Kimi. And Kimi was lucky to have Sebastian. Everyone would be lucky to have Sebastian.
“I missed our teenage years … before the NEWTs and before everything bad happened.” Nico said.
Lewis smirked a bit. If Nico wanted their old life before Newts that would mean they would be together again…
Not that Lewis wanted that ! Obviously not !
“Me too.” Lewis sighed, sitting on the floor.
“Indeed.” Mark and Seb said in synch. And to everyone's surprise, Kimi added “Yeah it was the easy years.
“Britney ? Lew ? You two can go to sleep. We’ll take the next few hours.” Mark said.
Nico nodded “Thanks guys.” He stood up and helped Lewis who smiled back.
The two ex-lovers went back to their room. Suddenly, a noise made them jump again and Nico pressed them against the wall.
After a few seconds they saw Crookshank chasing a rat and they sighed in relief. Everything was fine. Nothing bad happened.
Nico kept them pressed against the wall, their noses almost touching and their lips a few inches apart.
Lewis looked at Nico’s lips and started to lean toward Nico but the former took a step back. “Night, Lew.” The German said, walking away and leaving Lewis alone.
Lewis wasn’t mad at Nico. Not at all. He was even feeling relief because the charms teacher stopped them from making the same mistakes again.
So no regrets when he went back to his room. Not a single relief. Not a little one. Nop. Not at all.
Alex was cuddling with George before the Gryffindor against Hufflepuff Quidditch match. On the other side of the couch there was Pierre, Jeremy and Charles. Charles seemed like he wanted to die or to slaughter one the two men who were making out.
“I’m the supreme third wheel.” The Monégasque said with a loud sigh, trying to make Pierre and Jeremy stop. “And you, Jeremy you better not think about fucking Gasly during the match or I’ll end you, understood ? I don’t want to fucking lose against the Hufflepuff.”
While Jeremy laughed and stopped making out with Pierre, Alex added “You’re not third wheeling ! George and I are here.”
Charles gave him the glare who clearly said “Don’t fucking kid me, Alexander Albon.”
Alex smirked and gave a glare to Charles, trying to say “Please, as if you weren’t jealous because of Jeremy. You want to suck Pierre, don’t lie.”
George buried his neck in Alex’ neck that’s why the Brit didn’t see if Charles looked at him again. It was overwhelming, okay ?
“Should we go beat Hufflepuff’s asses, captain ?” Alex asked, standing up and escaping George’s grip.
God. Alex was so in love with this man since he first saw him. George smiled lazily to Alex, his hair messed up.
George was gorgeous. It was a fact. That was what Alex thought the first time he saw him. And then the next one, and the next one, again and again.
Alex met George when they were both in Hogsmeade. Charles left Alex alone for a moment because he saw Pierre near the same shop as where Alex wanted to go.
So Alex went alone into the Honeydukes shop. To his big surprise there was only this gorgeous man in the shop. Pierre was nowhere to be seen.
George then saw Alex and smiled widely. Fuck. That’s when Alex fell in love with the Brit. When he grinned with his pearly teeth and his shining blue eyes that seemed to read Alex’s soul.
“Hey ! You’re Daniel’s friend, right ?” George asked this day. Alex nodded dumbfounded by the beautiful man who was blushing.
“Your sidesick isn’t here ?” George smiled again even wider.
“You mean Charles ?” Alex frowned. “No, when he saw Pierre near the shop he decided that this was an enemy’s area.” Alex giggled.
“No way ! Pierre said the same ! It’s so funny !” George giggled. How god he was gorgeous.
Alex snapped back in the present time when Charles dragged him and Jeremy to the stadium, letting Pierre and George behind.
They ran to the stadium almost being late. They joined the team, apologizing to them.
“Sorry ! We were late. We were doing things.” Alex said.
“You, Alex, you were doing George, we know that but you Charles ?” Fred Weasley asked.
“NO ! I KNOW !” Lando yelled. “FUCK ! CHARLES WAS DOING PIERRE !”
Jeremy coughed and choked on his bottle of water. “No. I was doing that !”
Charles was scarlett. Alex giggled and climbed on his broom, followed by all the team. The weather was horrible and it was raining very hard and Alex pitied the few players with glasses/
The match started and Alex and Charles started to fly and threw the quaffle around. Suddenly, the dementors appeared and Alex gasped, seeing Harry fall from the sky.
Charles tried to catch him but failed and Alex tried to catch Harry’s Nimbus. “No !” He screamed.
Pierre screamed a spell at the same time as Dumbledore, catching Harry before he hit the ground full force.
Alex landed on the floor next to Harry and tried to see if he was wounded. “Harry ?” Alex touched the teenager and felt his pulse. Everything was fine.
Later, Alex was at Harry’s bed with all the Quidditch team, waiting for the Gryffindor to wake up. Nico and Lewis even came to see if he was fine.
Harry woke up and looked at the team. “Hi everyone … Did we win ?”
Alex giggled. Of course the teenager would ask about the match before his health. “No we didn’t. But you’re alive, that's what’s important.”
Alex smiled warmly. “But … we have a bad new, Harry …”
Alex held the nimbus which was broken into pieces. “We’re sorry Harry.”
Charles sighed and patted Alex’s head. “It’s fine, don’t worry.”
They stayed with Alex for a few hours until the infirmary closed.
Two weeks after, it was finally Christmas and Alex received books and a few recipes.
Alex saw the big present in front of Harry. “What is that, Harry ?”
Harry shrugged. “I don’t know. It’s surely from … McGonagall. She already sent me a broom in the first year.”
Fred smiled. “Open it, Harry !”
Harry opened the package and saw the firebolt. “What the hell !”
“Harry, who sent you that ?” Hermione asked.
Harry shrugged. “I don’t really care, Hermione. It’s a firebolt !” But Hermione was thinking the same as Alex.
“Harry … With Fernando in liberty … What if he sent you that ?” Alex said
Hermione nodded and she was thinking the same as the older one.
Harry sighed and took the broom, leaving Ron and everyone apart Charles who was murderglaring Jeremy and Pierre.
Alex sighed and joined George. “Hey G …” Suddenly, Alex had the idea of his life.
What if he kissed George, right here and right now ?
“Hey, Alex.” George answered with a smile.
“Do you trust me ?” Alex asked, looking at George.
George nodded with a big smile. He would have followed Alex everywhere.
Alex leaned and kissed George.
George froze but quickly kissed Alex back. “Lex …” He sighed against Alex’s lips.
George pushed Alex against the wall and kissed him again. The kiss was like him, soft and kind. God Alex loved this man with all his heart.
Ollie wanted to die on the spot. Why did he have to spend time with Kimi and his fucking boyfriend. What a stupid ass name.
Okay he wasn’t that bad but Ollie was jealous and he had the right to be petty.
They went to Hogsmeade, Honeydukes and the three broomsticks. Ollie was next to the couple, hoping they would stop making out.
So that was what Charles was feeling ? Well he would have killed himself if he had to support it longer.
But of course, he was acting like the perfect best friend who was happy for Kimi. Bullshit, he just wanted Kimi to break up with Thomas.
Happily, the former left after Honeydukes and he left Kimi and Ollie going together to the Shrieking Shack.
“How are you doing in your love life, Ollie ?” Kimi asked with a smile, taking Ollie’s arm.
Ollie blushed. “Oh you know. Still single and always will be, I guess.”
They arrived in front of the Shrieking Shack.
Ollie was scared that Kimi caught him staring …
Ollie was in love with Kimi since he discovered he was gay. Kimi was perfect. He was pretty, clever, funny and incredibly kind. He truly loved him.
They were best friends and they spent all the summer together. It was cool until Kimi told him he was going on a date with Thomas.
Ollie’s heart broke in a billion pieces but he smiled through the pain and nodded with a fake ass smile.
“I’m sure it’s not haunted.” Ollie said, watching the haunted manor. “Maybe they put a werewolf inside of it. That’s what I would do.”
Kimi nodded. “Clever. But why would they hide a werewolf near Hogwarts ?”
Ollie thought about it a bit, frowning. “Because the werewolf was a student ! Grayback had bitten a lot of young children in the terror years.”
“I love this idea. It’s better than ghosts. It’s just a nice werewolf who’s put here to protect himself and the students.” Kimi added.
They went back to Hogwarts, talking about the Slytherin against Gryffindor match and how they were sure that Pierre and Charles would crush each others’ hand. As captains they had to shake the hand of the other and obviously it was a show like all of their interactions between the others. The matches were ego’s contest.
“It was a nice afternoon.” Ollie said. But he was only talking about the few minutes where he was alone with Kimi.
“Indeed ! We should do that more often.” Kimi answered, nudging Ollie playfully in the shoulder.
Ollie smiled and let Kimi climb on his back.
“Thank you Ollie !” Kimi said.
They entered the Great Hall and saw Oscar, Lando, Charles and Pierre. Charles and Pierre were talking together. But it wasn’t what surprised everyone.
No. The weird thing was that Charles and Pierre were smiling and laughing together. Together. Since the match they were starting to be … kind of friends ? Ollie surprised them alone together laughing about how Charles misspelled and dyed his hair in pink and blue. Pierre said that he loved it and that Charles should keep it.
And well, Alex and George weren’t here so they weren’t forced to be here and to talk together. They were just friendly with each other.
Ollie dragged Charles away, leaving Kimi with Oscar and Pierre. “Charles ? Are you really talking with Pierre right now ?”
“Well. After I dyed my hair pink and blue by mistake, I thought that he would laugh at me but he said that he would dye his hair red and golden if I wanted. For support.” Charles said. “So I realized that he was actually nice and not a twat at all. So … he’s kind of my friend, I guess ?”
Ollie laughed. “Everyone told you Charles. But you never admitted it.”
Charles blushed. “The party opened my eyes in some ways and I realized that Dany Ricc was right for something.”
“Well. I’m going to take my broom. I’ll meet you in the changing room, captain ! We’re gonna win this match against your new friend !” Ollie teased his friend.
Charles nodded. “See you in thirty minutes ! Ollie.”
Thirty minutes later, Ollie was changing next to Charles and Jeremy. Charles turned and smirked at Jeremy.
Charles was in a really good mood since Pierre broke up with Jeremy because he was too clingy- well, Ollie knew that Pierre liked some clingy Gryffondor. But not Jeremy.- So yeah, Charles was in a good mood.
Ollie climbed on his broom and started to fly. He looked at Charles and Pierre who were shaking hands and he was sure he saw Charles’ checking Pierre’s ass when the former turned and climbed on his broom.
The match was going well until some people disguised as dementors went into the stadium to scare Harry. The former casted a perfect patronus and he heard Pierre’s scream of rage when he saw Draco Malfoy and his friends under the disguise.
Pierre knew that would mean the Slytherins were going to be disqualified or this match would be a direct win for Gryffindor. He was going to show his angry side to the three 3rd year.
Ollie giggled and went to Kimi who hugged him and climbed on his back. If the Slytherins lost this match that would only mean one thing. Gryffindor won the Quidditch cup !
George never saw Pierre this mad. His best friend was one of the kindest, calmest and most loving people in the world. So seeing him this made against the three Slytherins was almost scary.
“You bloody idiots ! You put someone's life in danger for nothing ! Even when I truly hated Charles Leclerc I never put his life in danger ! Do you know what Ptsd is ?” Pierre snapped at Draco Malfoy and his two friends.
“Because panic attacks are fucking dangerous when you’re on the ground. But in the air ? Are you crazy ! You’re doing Voldemort’s job now ?” Pierre was really looking mad and George was happy to not be the target of this rage.
“And now, because of you three, Slytherins lost the match and with that the fucking Quidditch cup ! If I’m still captain of the team next years you won’t enter the team.” Pierre snapped before turning his heels and leaving the third years alone.
George chuckled. “Well ! Party tonight ?” He said after Pierre left the common room to go god now where with god now who.
Max nodded and some 7th year yelled a big ‘YES’.
Two hours later, the common room was vibrating with the music and the dance moves.
George planned the party to congratulate Alex for the victory and just to see his boyfriend ! His boyfriend !
God he loved the taste of this word on his tongue. Boyfriend. Boyfriend !
George giggled to himself. Perhaps the taste of it was great but Alex was sick because of the rain during the match…
The only Gryffindor here were Carlos, Ollie, Kimi, Arthur and … Charles.
Charles who had disappeared since the start of the party and Pierre who came back and disappeared right after.
Suspicious but alright, if they were fucking than good for them.
Daniel ran to George, dragging Lando and Carlos who seemed to be really kidnapped here. “George. We saw Charles and Pierre talking together ! What the hell is happening ? Did they finally stop dancing on the fine line between hate and love ?”
George giggled. “I don’t know. We should prank them. I’m bored and I can be Alex’s replacement for this one !”
“What kind of prank ?” Carlos moaned.
“Carlos, you invite Pierre to dance with you and Lando you do it with Charles okay. When they’re next to each other I will yell ‘swap your partners’ and boom ! Lando you swap Charles with Carlos so Pierre and Charles dance together !” Daniel said. “And you Georgie, you ask for a romantic song, get it ?”
George nodded, already loving this idea. He went to the DJ booth where Max was putting music.
“Max ! Help us with a prank against Charles and Pierre, please !” George asked with a pleading look.
“Uh … sure tell me.” Max frowned.
“When Daniel yells ‘swap your partners’ you put ‘Wannabe’ by the Spice Girls !” George knew it wasn’t a romantic song but it matched their vibe and he could see Pierre grinding against a flushed Charles.
George climbed on top of a table and saw Carlos dancing with Pierre, near Lando and Charles. He looked at Daniel and gave him a thumbs up. Everything went according to plan.
Daniel yelled “SWAP YOUR PARTNERS !” and George saw Lando swapping Charles with Carlos.
Lando and Carlos quickly danced away from the two french talkers who looked surprised. Max put on the song and Pierre smiled. It was one of his favorite songs and George knew he wouldn’t stop because Charles was near.
Pierre started to dance, pressed to a flustered Charles. “Friendship my ass.” George thought.
A lot of people were going on the dancefloor and the two ex-enemies were pressed against each other, Charles looking at the ceiling to not be caught by Pierre.
After a while, Charles finally escaped the crowd. He went to George with red cheeks and messy hair. His green eyes seemed so dark right now. Almost like the Slytherin green.
“I know you are part of this plan and normally I would choose revenge but I’m sure you want to see your boyfriend.” Charles said, looking up at George who was still on the table.
“Oh please Charles ! Let me see Alex and I won’t tell him everything that happened here.” George said. He wasn’t lying, Lando or Daniel would do it instead. Right now, he just wanted to see his boyfriend.
He was really close to giving Charles his puppy eyes but the Monégasque said “Follow me but don’t tell anyone about it, okay ?”
George nodded and followed Charles like a lost puppy. He gave a last glare to the room and saw Max and Daniel dancing together next to Kimi and Ollie. Pierre wawed and went to sleep.
After a few minutes of walking, where they avoided Seb, Nico, Lewis and Mark talking together, they finally arrived at the Gryffindor common room. After that, they climbed upstairs, George almost running to Charles’, Carlos’, Lando’s and Alex’ room.
George climbed up in Alex’ bed. He kissed Alex’ forehead and saw the Brit had a fever.
He wrapped his arms around Alex and curled up in bed with him.
“Oscar. Trust me.” Kimi said. “Lando has the biggest crush on you. The guy blushed like crazy when he saw you.”
Ollie nodded. “Yeah ! And I’m sure I caught him staring at you a few times.”
Kimi was lying on the couch, his legs on Ollie’s lap and his eyes closed. For a few minutes, he, Ollie, Robert and Arthur were trying to show to Oscar that Lando Norris had a crush on him.
Robert sighed. “It’s a lost cause. Oscar won’t accept that fact.” He giggled. “And by the way, I heard that Fernando attacked again ?”
Oscar nodded “Oh yeah ! I heard the same ! Ron Weasley was attacked a few days ago. Crazy how they didn’t talk about it to the others houses.
“Indeed.” Ollie said. “His screams were terrifying. Nico and Lewis came in the middle of the night. They looked as if they were fucking. Then teacher Vettel entered. I thought he would need medication for his nerves.”
“Talking about Ron. Is the trio still mad at each other ?” Arthur asked.
“Nah. If I remember well, Hermione burst into tears and hugged the three of them So I guess they’re not fighting anymore.” Ollie answered, closing his eyes. God he was so gorgeous …
“Well, it’s getting late isn’t it ?” Ollie said, nudging Kimi’s legs.
“Oh yeah. I have to help Lando with his homeworks” Oscar said, nodding.
The four others looked at Oscar and said in perfect synch “Awww”.
Robert teased Oscar. “Homework as in homework or homework”
Oscar rolled his eyes, flipped them off and went to the library.
Arthur yawned. “Me and Robert are going to talk a bit together. Night guys, we’ll join you later.” Robert nodded, throwing himself next to Arthur.
Ollie and Kimi nodded before stooding up. Kimi climbed on Ollie’s back. God he loved to be on his best friend’s back. He felt protected from everything.
“One day, I’ll be too old to do that.” Ollie giggled. Kimi rested his head on Ollie’s shoulders and whispered “Then you’ll use Wingardium Leviosa or a spell you’ll have mastered.”
He yawned and propped himself on the bed with a satisfied moan.
“I’m going to write a letter, the candles won’t bother you ?” Ollie asked carefully.
“Don’t worry.” Kimi mumbled, already half asleep.
Ollie had been writing a lot since a few days and Kimi wondered if the man had a girlfriend … Ollie surely attracted people. Kimi was one of the victims of it.
Kimi stared at the ceiling lost in his thoughts.
He thought about his relationship with Thomas. Everything was going well, Thomas was pretty, polite, kind and clever but he wasn’t Ollie …
During the Holiday’s break that Ollie and Kimi spent together, Kimi realized his feelings for his best friend. The strong feelings. The kind of feelings that were over-helming.
So yeah, the time with Thomas was cool but Kimi would never finish his life with him. When Kimi was thinking of his future he was imagining kids running in his garden. But not Thomas’ kid or some random man.
No in every of his little fantasies it was Ollie with him. Every damn time. Everytime Kimi was lost with his thoughts, he was thinking of Ollie.
Kimi was a big romantic in a way and if Ollie was gay he would surely be his romantic soulmate. But Ollie was heterosexual, right ? So just platonic soulmates.
Kimi fell asleep before Robert and Arthur came back and before Ollie finished his letters. That’s why he didn’t see Ollie staring at him while he was sleeping.
He would have said ‘creepy’ if he wasn’t asleep but inside he would have been a mess cause no one stares at his mates while they’re sleeping unless it’s not platonic.
Right after the end of the OWLs, Charles and Pierre met at 10 PM under the rising moon. The two men were lying on the grass.
It was weird how they couldn’t stand the others at the start of the year and were almost inseparable now.
Pierre thought Charles was kinda cool when he helped him at Halloween. Pierre was shivering because of the cold and Charles wrapped his cover around Pierre. No one saw them sleeping next to each other and Charles was firmly denying that fact but they both knew that it was true.
After that, Pierre started to like Charles because he was, in fact, very funny and kind. The day where he misspelled his spell and ended up with pink and blue hair he looked so disappointed that Pierre would have gladly dyed his hair red and golden if that would mean the Monégasque smiles would come back.
They became real friends and actually spent a lot of time together, Pierre finding Charles really refreshing. Some people were born to be sunshine and Charles was one of them.
Pierre learnt that Charles was a really clingy person even with his friends. Pierre had broken up with Jeremy for this exact reason but when it was Charles it was nice.
“You’re like the calamar in the lake !” Pierre said with a big smile.
“It’s a Kraken you dumbass !” Charles giggled and oh god, Pierre loved this sound so much. He would drug himself with it.
“Still. You’re a calamar !” Pierre smiled, looking at the rising full moon
“Mmmh … okay …” Charles mumbled, cuddling with Pierre, his head buried in Pierre’s neck.
“I like the full moon. It’s like the prettiest lamp in the world.” Pierre said.
“Except for the werewolves.” Charles laughed.
Pierre nodded. A few months ago, he discovered why teacher Webber was so often ill. And only during the full moon. He was obviously a werewolf.
Pierre kept quiet because it wasn't his secret to tell and because teacher Webber was a very good teacher.
They sat back when they heard footsteps near them. Pierre didn’t see who it was because the full moon was hidden by a cloud.
“I see Mark Webber, Kimi Raikonnen, the Golden Trio, someone that I can’t recognize and … fuck” Charles said.
“No I won’t fuck with you.” Pierre joked with a teasing smile.
“Pierre. No time for jokes. They’re with Fernando Alonso.” Charles turned to look at Pierre.
Pierre’s eyes widened in shock. “Fuck. The prisoner ?”
Charles smirked. “Well … ex-prisoner.”
Suddenly, Pierre became very pale. “Charles it’s a full moon …” Charles nodded and answered. “Yeah ? So what ?”
“Mark is a werewolf.” Pierre gulped and took Charles’ hand. “We need to help them.”
Charles squeezed his hand three times. “Okay. Lumos.” casted the spell.
They both ran to the group of men and Hermione. “Professor Webber !” Pierre screamed.
The teacher turned to look at the two french talkers. “THE FULL MOON PROFESSOR !” Charles screamed, trusting Pierre on his theory.
“I knew you were my best student and the most brilliant of them all.” Mark answered. “But we don’t have the time.”
“No ! Teacher !” Hermione pointed to the full moon. But it was too late … Charles squeezed Pierre’s hand when the teacher transformed into a big wolf.
Fernando transformed into a dog and started to fight against the werewolf, the stranger transforming into a rat and running away.
Pierre took his wand, ready to tie Fernando and stop the prisoner.
“NO !” Harry yelled. “Trust me ! He’s innocent ! Don’t kill him, Pierre. Please.”
Pierre looked at Harry and sighed, lowering his wand. Kimi woke up and tried to protect the children from Mark.
Pierre started to run after Harry when this one followed Fernando’s dog form who had been wounded.
Charles looked at Kimi before running after Pierre, not letting his friend alone. They arrived at a gloomy lake where Harry was helping Fernando.
They ran to help them. “Oh god. Is he okay ?” Pierre asked.
Harry shook his head. “I don’t know !”
Pierre started to heal Fernando when the dementors appeared and started to attract their happy memories and take Fernando’s soul.
The two Frenchtalkers fell on the ground, trying to grab the other's hand. Pierre even thought that he should kiss him if that was the end … Pierre crawled to Charles when he saw a stag patronus protecting them.
Pierre passed out before he could see more. His hand fell next to Charles', their fingers almost touching, only missing the other's by a few inches.
Charles looked at Pierre’s red lips before everything faded to black.
When Kimi saw Mark Webber going into the Shrieking Shack passage, he knew something was up. And if Mark was into this that could mean Fernando would also be here.
Kimi wasn’t going to let Fernando and Mark attack Seb. Fuck he didn’t think Mark could be a danger. The man was too nice and too pained by his heartbreak even after 12 years. But maybe that was the real danger, a heartbroken man who never stopped loving his boyfriend even when the former happened to be a murderer.
Kimi entered the passage and arrived at the manor. He heard Hermione’s, Ron’s and Harry’s voices. But then he heard Fernando and Mark talking.
Kimi was not a murderer but he wouldn’t let the two men hurt the children. And he would absolutely not let them hurt Sebastian.
Sebastian who was sleeping in the castle. The teacher took sedatives to sleep and Kimi was okay with that after all the sleepless nights he spent with Seb since Fernando’s attack against Ron.
When Kimi entered the room, he saw Fernando and Mark hugging each other.
“Really Mark ? I thought I could trust you !” Kimi said with a disappointed sigh. “Nando it’s not surprising to me. But you, Mark ?”
Kimi wasn’t a bad guy and frankly, he didn’t want to give Fernando to the Dementors. It was not something he would wish for someone. But after James’ and Lily's death …
“You killed James and Lily ! You killed Mika !” Kimi snapped.
“No ! Listen !” Nando said. “Häkkinen is not dead ! I didn't kill James and Lily he did !” And then he pointed at Ron's rat.
“Don’t kid me, Alonso.” Kimi’s eyes narrowed. “This rat is not Mika.”
“It is.” Mark said with a smile.
Kimi took his wand, ready to tie the two men but Hermione and Harry casted an Expelliarmus that made Kimi pass out after hitting a wall.
When Kimi was a student in Hogwarts he always stayed with Sebastian and his friends. Sebastian’s friends were kind people that would never hurt someone. That was until the War started. It all started by Jules’ Bianchi death, then Benoit Prost and even Checo Perez. But they stayed friends. Against all the odds, they stayed friends. Until Halloween 1981 where James and Lily died because of Fernando.
Fernando was then chased by Häkkinen but he killed Mika very quickly with an explosion who killed Muggles too.
SInce then, they watched Harry from afar even if they wanted to protect him. The few who were still alive gave pictures to Hagrid so he could make an album full of pictures.
The flashbacks stopped when he woke up again. He saw Mark transforming into a werewolf and tried to protect the three third year and … Charles and Pierre who curiously arrived into this mess.
And oh god, these two were going to kill him or Seb. Because they ran after Harry who was looking for Fernando Alonso, near the lake.
Weirdly, a wolf called Mark who ran into the woods. That’s why he lifted Ron and Hermione with his magic and went to the lake to save the three students and to capture Alonso.
He finally found them, unconscious on the shore.Pierre and Charles a bit away from Fernando and Harry.
Kimi casted a spell to tie Alonso and used his magic to lift the students. He brought them back to the castle and, after leaving the students in the infirmary, went to inform Albus Dumbledore.
After a few hours, Albus finally opened the door. God Kimi hated the director.
“Albus ! We finally caught Alonso.” Kimi said to the director.
“Did you, really ?” Albus smiled in an enigmatic way. “Well done, Mr. Raïkonnen. Can you bring me and Mr Fudge to where he’s kept, please ?”
Kimi nodded and led the two men to a cell on top of a tower. But the cell was … empty.
“I swear he was here !” Kimi argued. “We finally arrested the good man and he escaped again ?!”
“Sometimes the good man is innocent Mr. Raïkonnen. Now, go with your boyfriend and try to sleep. Nothing is wrong.” Dumbledore said.
Kimi tried to argue back but Dumbledore gave him a glare which clearly didn’t leave him the choice.
Kimi went into Seb’s room, feeling annoyed. Someone had clearly helped Fernando to escape. Well not Mark who was still in his werewolf form somewhere in the forest.
He curled up in bed, pulling Seb to him.
After the Shrieking Shack incident everything changed. Mark left his job because parents learned about his … ‘illness’.
Harry saw him before he left and he told him everything. About his parent’s death, about their school years and everything.
Albus explained to Seb, Kimi, Nico and Lewis why Fernando was innocent.
Charles and Pierre were even more inseparable than before, always with each other.
Mikka Häkkinen was still lost somewhere in nature.
So yes, it has been a hard year with a lot of things happening but next year couldn’t be worse, right ?
