Chapter 4
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Harry was stunned as he gazed upon the face of his best friend. Opening and closing his mouth, he couldn\'t make a sound pass his lips. Not a \'gasp\', just nothing.

Ron, on the other hand, was having the opposite problem. When he opened his mouth many different sounds and half sentences came out but nothing was making any sense.

\"Harry, I.er.you see.um.we didn\'t.I had to.I don\'t want.but I .Oh god.uh.\"

Ron finally fell silent when he realized he wasn\'t making any sense and just stood there pale as Draco and red as his hair. If Harry hadn\'t been so shocked, he would\'ve laughed at the odd combination.

Gathering himself together and taking in a deep breath, Harry smiled over at his worried cousin. Nodding his head to tell everyone he was all right again, The brunette glanced over to his left. Catching Lucius\'s look that was somewhat in between annoyed and amused, Harry looked back to Ron.

\"Ron, We\'ll have to talk later. Right now we\'re in the middle of dinner. Meet me outside after we are finished.\"

Now it was Ron\'s turn to have nothing to say. The redhead couldn\'t believe it.his friends of five-to-six years had just blown him off.just like that. No, \'Oh Ron, I\'m so sorry to see you like this, why didn\'t you owl me if you needed money.\'

\'Not that I would\'ve done that anyways, but that just seems like something Harry would say.\' Ron mused as he continued to stare at his friend\'s back. \' How could he just dismiss me? And why is he eating with the Malfoy\'s? .But more importantly, what are the Dursly\'s doing here?\'

An older gray haired waiter came over and dragged Ron out of the room. Harry assumed it was to reprimand him for standing there, or maybe it was for speaking to him, or maybe it was both. Harry really felt bad, he really hoped that his friend didn\'t get fired because of him.

\"Don\'t feel bad Harry, he\'ll be fine. A slight talking to and bussing duty for awhile is the worse they will do to him. With as well manned this establishment is, they don\'t have many people lining up outside of the door begging for jobs.\"

Harry was surprised to hear Lucius being so.kind. It was to bad that he turned back to Vernon and started setting out his guidelines for the deal. After that Harry turned back to Duddly and the other two.

\"He\'s right you know, This place only takes applications from mudbl- .muggle born people, or wizards and witches who have no problem with muggles. They are very picky and that doesn\'t exactly make up long lines. You know?\"

Harry found himself nodding at Draco\'s statement. He did understand. With Voldermort on the rise again, being a muggle born magical being or a muggle sympathizer was chancy and dangerous.

To get his mind off of the redheaded waiter, Piers started talking about the upcoming school year and all the new clothing he wanted. Harry fell for the trap and was soon laughing with Draco about witch color was better, Black or Green.

Duddly held off a giggle as Draco stood up showed off his designer s. He. He had to admit, the boy had taste, But Harry won hands down when he brushed the hair that had been hiding his earring for the hole night, over his shoulder and exposed the silver piece of jewelry for the blond to see with extreme clarity.

Draco gasped. The earring was stunning. Walking over, Draco reached out and brushed his cream fingers over the warm metal.

\"Oh Harry, this is beautiful.where did you get it?\"

Harry blushed and shooed Draco back over to his seat. Placing a hand over the smooth body, Harry shrugged his shoulders and sighed, stroking the finely carved scales with long fingers.

\"To tell you the truth, I didn\'t find it. It was a gift from someone for my sixteenth birthday. All the note said \'ke\'keep it safe and trust in the unusual.\' That\'s all. It wasn\'t Dumbledore, I know that for a fact. That man has a very distinctive writing style. I\'ve seen Snape\'s enough to know it wasn\'t his. It wasn\'t Voldermort\'s, because in second year I got vary good at knowing his penmanship.\"

At the mention of Tom Riddle\'s changed name, no one at the table flinched, no one gasped, no one corrected him or gave him nasty looks for saying the mans preferred name. Harry liked it that way. His thoughts on the matter were that the man only had power if you let him have power.

If you flinched everytime someone said his name then the fear just grew that much more.

Harry continued his list of people as Ron set down the chefs prepared and recommended order in front of him and he barely even acknowledged it.

\"It isn\'t any of the teachers, I\'ve had enough detentions from all of them to know this. It wasn\'t from Hermoine or Ron\'s family. And it\'s not from my godfather, So I am so clueless to this gift, but I love it and rarely let it out my sight.\"

Duddly laughed and gave Piers his carrots as the peaches-and-cream blond placed his broccoli on the red streaked boy\'s plate.

\"Well, I think it cool. I love it. By the way, What is with all of your hair?
Ha
Harry and Duddly laughed at the question and Piers lightly touched his neatly pony-tailed hair lovingly.

\"Well,\" Piers said, seeing as the other two weren\'t going to be able to. Even the adults halted their conversations to hear the full explanations on the hair. \" When Harry got the earring, he was upset that he wouldn\'t be able to wear it and I said that he should get his ear pierced if it bothered him so much.\"

*Flash Back*

\"But you guys! It says I should keep it safe! How can I keep it safe if I don\'t have it with me? And what is the point of having it on me if I can\'t wear it?\"

Duddly was getting annoyed, after two days of his cousin\'s whining it kind of gets on ones nerves. Neither him, nor Piers had yet to come up with a plan to shut the boy up and solve the problem all at once. Piers had taken to banging his head against the wall before Duddly had pulled him away saying that they were already brain damaged enough from listening to Harry for two days. They didn\'t need to have anymore. They might become vegetables.

\"Duddly-honey, Have you seen my diamond earrings? I can\'t find them!\"

Duddly\'s mother opened the door and looked into the room, effectively cutting off Harry\'s rant for a few moments.

\"No mum, I haven\'t.check with dad.\"

Patunia nodded and smiled at the other two occupants of the room before she left and Harry continued to pace around the room, but silently this time.

\"God, why does she ask me these things? Like I wear her earrings.\"

Duddly rolled his eyes and stretched out on his dark haired cousin\'s bed. The bed was vary soft after a day of running and Judo. Duddly loved it. They always came back to Harry\'s room and crashed, Duddly\'s bed had a firm mattress because when he had been heavier, once he sat on hift bft bed, he couldn\'t get back up.

Harry had silently laughed at him a couple times for that, so Duddly\'s parents deiced to get him a harder mattress and stronger box-spring because his hulking mass had been to much for his last one.

So now after a day of exercise they crashed on Harry\'s bed so they didn\'t wake up sore and have it be painful the next day. After three weeks of this, Duddly had figured out that Harry wasn\'t going to let up easily and actually intended for him to loose the weight.

\"Harry, if this is upsetting you so much and you being upset is making me think that at this point suicide would be forgiven in heaven. Why don\'t you just get your ear pierced.\"

And those eight words clicked something Harry\'s mind and his eyes lit up with an unearthly light.

\"You know something Piers? I think you\'re right.lets do it! You guys have to come with me though.\"

Duddly glared at his boyfriend for a moment before telling Harry it was a crazy idea and that his talking had killed more of Piers\'s brain cells than originally thought.

\" Well Duddlykins, unless you have any better Idea\'s, I think this is our best bet.\"

Harry crossed his arms over his chest and rose a well-sculpted eyebrow in challenge. Duddly knew better than to challenge his cousin when he got that look in his eyes. Harry\'s mind was made up. Getting his ear pierced was the only way to solve the problem and he wanted his two best friends to do it with him.

\"But Harry, I can\'t! Mum and Dad would kill me if I got a hole permanently punctured on my body. Piers might do it, but I can\'t.But I would really love to.\"

Harry knew he wasn\'t going to be able to convince Duddly to do it now, but the sandy blond would give in one day. Piers, He knew, wouldn\'t have suggested it, even in desperation, unless he was thinking of it and wanted to do it as well.

After some struggling, kicking and screaming on Duddly\'s part, The three finally drove off to find a piercing and tattoo parlor.

Twenty minuets and a few odd looks later, three boys stood in the lobby of a vary clean piercing place. Harry and Piers looked around for a few moments and Duddly sat down in one of the nice black leather chairs and watched his boyfriend and his cousin argue over what was better to get, a hoop or a stud.

A pretty young gold haired girl opened a door and smiled at the boys. Walking over to Harry and Piers, Duddly studied her carefully.

She was wearing a red fishnet shirt with a black lace bra underneath. The red shirt hung loosely over a red pleather mini-skirt that, if it were any shorter, would be classified as a large belt. The girls legs were sheet white and black boots that started at her ankles were laced up with a thick metal wire instead of cloth laces.

The girl\'s ears were covered in multiple styles of earrings. From hoops, to studs, to hooks, to clips, you name it she was wearing it. She also had multiple tattoos, some normal, some not. One that really caught Duddly\'s attention was a rose the rotated slowly in a circle and as it did it slowly bloomed and petals fell off and disappeared.

\"Cool isn\'t it? By the end of the day the petals are gone, but the next day there they are. I love it.\"

Duddly didn\'t say anything, but Harry smiled and said that he had been looking at it as well. Piers nodded in agreement and took Duddly\'s hand up in his own.

The girl smiled at the gesture and started talking with Harry over what kind or earring he wanted. Piers jumped in saying he wanted a silver hoop in his right ear. While Harry on the other hand showed her the snake earring and talked with her in silent tones.

After a few moments, Harry and the girl shook hands and she told the two blondes to stay in the lobby. Duddly and Peirs nodded and sat down on a comfortable looking sofa. It was butter cream leather and Piers fell asleep almost instantly when he felt it. Using Duddly as a pillow.

\'Piers always does fall asleep fairly quickly and in the weirdest places. I couldn\'t do that.\' Duddly mussed as he watched his boyfriend\'s chest rise and fall in a slow steady pattern.

The next thing Piers knew, he was being shaken awake by soft female hands. Opening his eyes he saw that it was his turn to get a permeate hole punched though his ear and he groggily stumbled after the scandalously dressed girl.

A few minutes and a scream later, Piers had a shinning silver hoop dangling from his ear. Duddly thought it looked sexy and proceeded to show Piers just how sexy he thought it was, but with Harry\'s cough, he stopped and blushed, remembering that he was in public.

After paying the girl, Duddly looked at Harry and Piers and their new earrings. He felt left out. Harry noticed this and patted him on the shoulder.

\"Hey Cheer up Duddlykins. We can always do something else.you choose. Come on.what kind of wild thing would you like to do?\"

Harry\'s eyes told him that Harry had yet to be wilded out and was still craving the call of permeate and colorful things as he stroked the head of his new snake earring. Some how he had talked the girl into cleaning the piercing and punching his ear with it.

\"Well.What about our hair? You two have new cool earrings, how about we get something done with our hair to match it.\"

Duddly watched as his boyfriend and Harry glowed with excitement and drug him off to the nearest hair salon.

Two hours later, Duddly, Harry, and Piers all had streaks in their hair. Harry had talked Duddly into getting a Magenta chunk done. Right over his left eye.

In all truth, Duddly loved it and thought it looked awesome. It was an added bonus that Piers liked it and Harry smiled while ruffling his hair more than once, causing all of the new magenta strands to stick out everywhere.

Piers on the other hand had talked himself into doing all of his hair but two strips of his peaches-cream blond hair in front. Piers now sported electric lime green hair. Duddly was alittle iffy at first, but after you got used to the extreme contrast, it looked really good. Harry had grinned at Piers and handed him his hair tie back. Piers had also gotten what was left of his blond hair cut sort enough so that it couldn\'t be put back into his shoulder length ponytail.

Harry on the other hand had had his massively long hair combed thought with a sapphire to cerulean blue coloring. It had taken four people to complete his hair and when he was done they all gasped at the sight.

When Harry would turn one way, you could only see slight highlights, but when he turned another it looked like handfuls of his hair hand been done. It was truly a captivating sight. No two streaks were the same.

Piers had run his hands though the black and blue shroud and fussed over it non-stop. Duddly didn\'t mind though. Had he been anyone else, he would\'ve done the same thing.

\"Harry, oh wow.leave it down until we get home. I\'m staying over tonight so I can paly with of of your hair. It\'s going to be so fun!\"

*End Flash Back*

\".And that\'s that. When we got back to their house and Mrs. Dursley freaked out and sent me home a quickly as she could. She evelledlled my Mum and Dad. But they didn\'t really care, they thought it was cool. Thank god for my parents. Duddly really got in trouble for the first time in his spoiled life. And Harry.well Harry nothing happened to Harry other than a few screaming matches and a swung fist or two.\"

Peirs shrugged and ate the last spoon full of his ice cream. By the time his retelling hand ended, Dinner hand been completed and so had desert. Everyone was encaptured by the story and no one interrupted the green haired blond.

Draco thought about this and nodded his head slightly to himself. He looked up at Harry and tilted his head one way and then the other and sure enough the streaks looked like they changed. It was so cool. He wanted streaks to. And nothing, not even his father was going to stand in his way.

The Restaurant is both Muggle and Magical. The Two Sisters is really a Restaurant. It is New Orleans, in the French Quarter. The dyeing of the hair happened about.a month into summer, their Hair is magiced to stay dyed. I will explain why Duddly and Peirs could see both the piercing place and the Salon in later chapters.

Bye everyone! Review please.
