Disclaimer: This chapter, too, contains yaoi (male/male sexual type pairing) and twincest (twin sexual type pairing) While this was written by Yami no Kaiba, she would like you to know that she is only typing this stuff because Black Rose promised to buy her favorite drink.

Warning: If you do not like the idea of Fred and George ‘getting it on’, please turn back now!!!

Severus slipped into Draco’s usual seat, taking off his hat and allowing Blaize to bound off his head and onto the table. Looking up to the ceiling, he sighed in disappointment as he noticed that someone had re-bewitched it, showing the cloudy sky outside.

Glancing at the House Point Globes, Severus read the points for each house silently to himself. First place was Ravenclaw with 160 followed by Gryffindor with 138 with Huffelpuff in third with 124.

Then there was Slytherin.

A card plaque below the globe showed a negative 250. Ah, that stunt in Charms must already have been reported. Shrugging notchently to Blaize, Severus took out his quill, ink, and story. Well, might as well work on this while he waited.

*---*---*---*---*

Draco strode through the halls as if he owned Hogwarts. After taking a census last night with the rest of Slytherin House, they had come to the conclusion that there would be no way in hell that they would be able to get their points out of the gutter Severus Snape had put them in.

The other three houses probably would have tried to get out of the negatives at the very least, but the Slytherin’s knew when to cut their losses.

However, Slytherin wasn’t the house of ambition and power for nothing. A sixth year had pointed out a few interesting possibilities.

First, he had stated, was the fact that they were breaking a record, as he had pointed out with a copy of Hogwarts, A History. The minimum amount of points a house had ever gotten was 15, and that had been Gryffindor House. So not only would they have a record, but they had also beaten their rival house.

Then he had pointed out that, except for detentions and expulsions, if they resigned themselves with not getting the house cup, there were no ramifications to anything they did.

That had brought up some muttering about even if they had tried, Gryffindor would have won the cup anyway by Harry Potter doing some stupid stunt and living at the end of the year.

After that, it had been unanimous. House Slytherin would no longer be trying to get the cup. Instead, they would be undermining Gryffindor House at every turn they got so that Huffelpuff and Ravenclaw could battle it out.

Rounding a corner, Draco continued on his way as he passed the Weasley twins, who were nicely situated behind a knight and hanging onto each other.

"Hey, Malfoy!" Fred, or was it George, piped up as George, or was it Fred, groped the other.

Turning, Draco was about to reply scathingly, and stopped with his mouth open as the twin that had spoken to him had his back to him and was kissing the other long and hard.

Paling considerably, Draco whirled around and pelted towards the Great Hall. He was almost out of hearing range when he heard the two speak.

"Why don’t we skip lunch, love, and go find a nice bed, hmmm?"

*---*---*---*---*

As the Hall settled down, Blaize purred in delight as a small dish of tuna popped up onto the table. Severus watched in bemusement as the green puffball tore into it with a vengeance.

Looking up, Severus watched the last stragglers enter the room, and paid close attention to a blushing Draco.

Severus watched questioningly as Draco ran gasping into the room and over to the table, with red spots on his high cheekbones. As the boy sat down beside him without even commenting about Severus having taken his seat, Severus watched him in concern. Malfoy, to preoccupied to complain? That was like the sun rising in the west!

"What’s wrong, Draco?" Pansy asked, leaning over and looking him over. "You look as if you just caught McGonagall having fun!"

Draco was still staring ahead of him as if nothing could penetrate what he was thinking. Getting fed up with being ignored, Pansy reached over and pinched him.

Yelping, Draco grabbed his abused arm and rubbed it well glaring at Pansy. "What the hell was that for?!"

"Humph! Well maybe next time I ask you a question, you’ll pay attention! Now what the hell is making you so upset?"

Draco put his hands over his eyes as he muttered under his breath, loud enough for those around him to hear as he related what he had seen.

"Fred and George Weasley were kissing passionately in the hall?!" Pansy shrieked, pushing away from the table and landing on her butt on the floor.

The hall was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Severus couldn’t help it any longer as he chuckled and started laughing out loud. As if he had thrown a switch, the whole hall started to talk at once as the teachers tried to get the students to quite down or help the few people that were puking down to the infirmary. A faction of the student body were pointing or staring at a stiff and white Ron Weasley, another faction staring at Pansy who still hadn’t gotten off the floor staring in incredulity at the bringer of the news, and perhaps four dozen were staring at Draco Malfoy who still had his hands on his face but wasn’t covering the burning redness of his skin.

*---*---*---*---*

Lucius Malfoy smiled cruelly down at the piece of parchment in his hands. Oh, the irony of irony’s...

Sweeping from his study, Mr. Malfoy turned towards his dungeon laboratory. Time to make an innocent liquid.

Chuckling maliciously, Lucius went down the corridor.

*---*---*---*---*

Yami no Kaiba: *Looks just as red as Malfoy.* Umm... Severus really didn’t do anything in this chapter, because it got caught by a rabid plot bunny. *Holds up said bunny baring pointy teeth.* I’m sorry to all you people that really could have done without reading any slash in this story, but Black Rose bribed me with my favorite drink. *Thinks wistfully of said strawberry milkshake.* Anyway, Fred and George are just a side pairing and accept for popping up in a few chapters after this, you won’t see them. *At least, not in MY chapters!*

BR: Get stuffed, Yami. I think the twins make the cutest couple in the world. And let go of Fluffy! *takes the bunny forcefully* And I don't think you should be apologizing to the readers. I put 'slash' in the summery and in the disclaimer for chapter 9, so sod off! Now I need to go work on chapter 11 so shhhhhh.
