I Won't Say It

Chapter 7 “Ken Doll for a Day”

Harry dragged his feet as he made his way to the 7th year common room with the winning bag of galleons. He tried to walk as slow as possible but if he was late he knew those girls would just pile more chores on to the list that they already had. It was still kind of chilly so he wore an oversize grey hoodie that matched his oversized denim jeans and his beat up trainers. He was practically swimming in the clothes but if he was going to be doing chores he might as well be comfortable in clothes that he didn’t care what happened to them.

“Oh Merlin its worst than we thought.” Harry heard Lavender say as he entered the common room.

“Yes and he has more of these at home as well.” Remus said as he hand Hermione a familiar looking bag.

“Remus is that…”

“The Bag of galleons Severus and I gave you to go buy new clothes with? Yes it is. Scorch found it under your bed with all the money unspent.” Remus Glared at his blushing godson.

“I was going to give it back to you! You don’t need to buy me anything I told you that.” The Gryffindor protested.

“And I have told you that we want to spoil you. Today the girls are going to take you to muggle London with the winnings and give you what they call a Make over. When Hermione came to us and asked for the passes to London and told us why they needed them Severus and I signed off on the trip immediately. I then retrieved your spending money to help in their endeavors.”

“But I don’t need anything I’ve got you and Snape now and we all live at Spinner’s Ends together! That’s all I’ve ever wanted, I don’t need material things.”

“Harry…” the older Gryffindor’s Heart broke. It was so hard to see Harry fight against letting himself be spoiled and happy. He pulled the distraught teenager away from the girls hearing rage. “What you need is to let go. It is alright for people to spoil you now and then. It is alright for you to accept presents from people who are showing they care and love you. You have a right to be happy and you need to let go of the past. These clothes tie you to your past and once you’re rid of them maybe you can start to move on with your life. This will help you heal and who knows, you might have fun.”

“Fine I’ll go but I doubt I’ll have fun with twenty girls.”

“Buck up boy-o any man would kill to be you right now surrounded by beautiful women.”

“Any Straight man Moony. I am gay! I do not want to be surrounded by soft female curves. I would rather be surrounded by the hot male bodies of the Chippendale Dancers.”

“I knew it was a mistake for Severus to take you to see their world tour show.” the were-wolf sighed with a smile. “Well then let your gay-side shine a bit and enjoy the shopping trip. While you’re gone I’ll have Seamus and Dean throw out those rags you call clothes.”

“What?!”

“Wotcher Harry.”

“Tonks? What are you doing here?”

“I’m the chaperone for this little expedition. We can’t let students leave the castle with out supervision. Besides my real job is making sure you don’t run away from your make-over.” The Pink-haired auror smiled brightly.

“Great.” The sarcastic Gryffindor pouted as he was led from the common room to the gates of the castle. The girls were all chatting on what they thought Harry would look great in and Harry kept thinking ‘This will be the longest day of my life.’

He had never been so over whelmed as he was right now. Harry knew he was going to be dragged from store to store but the stores never seemed to end. After being dragged through the trendy shops in Diagon Alley he was then pulled into Muggle London to the MALL. Their first stop the Beauty solon to take care of his unruly hair.

“But Lavender My hair just grows back the next day!”

“Don’t worry Harry; Hermione’s got a charm to fix that. Now sit back and Relax Jean-Perris will work his magic on you.” Harry was then left to the mercy of the Hairstylist. He was washed conditioned snipped, gelled and styled all the while getting a lecture on proper hair care. If Jean-Perris had blonde hair instead of brown he could have passed for Draco with his snobby obsessive attitude about grooming.

While Harry was getting his hair highlighted the girls were having a meeting about the dwindling funds. “It’s taking more money then estimated to remake Harry.”

“We can see that Granger tell us something we don’t know. Who knew the boy really had nothing I mean he looked very dashing in those dress robes in four year.” Pansy Sighed.

“I got it!” Said Marietta and she and Padma came Rushing in from outside the salon.

“What’s got you two all fired up?” Daphne Asked.

“In the mall there is a singing competition! Grand Prize is 5000 pounds!”

“And it starts in 15 minutes!”

“Perfect you two go sign Potter up! Daphne, Millie, Granger, Brown, and I will get the star dressed and ready. The rest of you spread out through this place cause once Potter wins were going on a whirl wind shopping spree.” Pansy Smirked as she is dismissed her troops. “Granger where is the best place to outfit Potter for his stage appearance?”

“There is only on place that will guarantee Harry’s win, and that’s HOT TOPIC!”

XXXxxxXXXxx

“What the bloody hell!” Once Harry’s hair was finished he was dragged from the salon to the other side of the mall.

“Come on Harry we’re on a schedule. We have to be in Hogsmead by 3 to buy you and the boys dinner.” Hermione exclaimed as he tossed him into the changing room.

“Strip Potter and put these on! I already paid for them so you can wear them out.” Daphne said as she shoved an outfit at him and closed the door.

“Is this a Thong?!!!”

“Yup! It’s the only kind of underwear you can wear with those pants. Now don’t be a prude and get dressed.”

“We got them! They were 70 pounds but worth it.” Lavender panted as she ran in and handed the bag to Pansy.

“Good work brown these will do nicely with Harry’s outfit.” Pansy approved before tossing them in to the dressing room ignoring the ‘Ow!’ as they hit Harry.

“I got the accessories! After he’s done they’re ready to pierce his ear!” Millie grinned.

“Perfect. Potter hurry up we haven’t got all day.”

“I’m not coming out this has to be indecent.”

“Translation: I look like a sex god and I am too hot to handle.” Millie snickered.

“Harry, come out of there or else I’ll tell Snape and Remus what you really did on your Birthday.”

“You wouldn’t dare.” Harry stuck his head out of the changing room to glare and his Surrogate sister.

“Try me.”

“Fine!” Harry threw opened the door to reveal his amazing transformation.

The Gryffindor was blushing as the studied him trying to find any flaw with his looks. His hair was short in the back left slightly long on top with frosted blond highlight in his hair. He was wearing an almost skin tight dark blue silk shirt with what looked like painted on leather pants and sexy black ankle boots. The girls nodded approvingly before dragging him to the front of the store where he was strapped down and his ear was pierced with an emerald stud. Then they placed a silver chain around his neck to complete the look.

“It’s a good start. Good thing you had your eyes fixed Potter or those ugly glasses you use to wear would ruin the look completely. Now let’s get going you’re due on stage any minute.”

“I’m what?!”

“Nothing to worry about Harry we signed you up for a singing competition.”

“What the Hell for Lavender?”

“We need the cash. You’re really expensive to make over so we’re going to use that golden voice of yours to finance the rest of this trip.”

“Don’t bother protesting it Potter.” Daphne drawled. “You signed the contract and you are ours for the day to do as we please. It would please us for you to sing and win.”

Harry glared at the girls as he was dragged to the center of the mall where the special event was being held. There they met up with the other girls who had list of places for Harry to go after he won the contest. Harry just wanted the ground to open up and swallow him whole. Which led to the reoccurring berating of himself thinking over and over again ‘Why the hell did I sign that bloody Parchment?’

“And our Last contestant is HARRY POTTER! Come on up here!” The Gryffindor was pushed up the stairs and thrown on stage by Hermione and Pansy. “Well Harry what brings you to London?”

“The Girls in my class decided I need a Make over.” Harry snarled and the girls cheered. Tonks was in the background laughing her head off.

“I see then we have just the song for you to sing. The Music will start to play an you can just follow the words on the screen.” The MC pointed to the TV monitor. The song appeared and Harry rolled his eyes.

“Don’t worry I know the song. Just start the music.”

“Okay then, cue the music.” The MC quickly left the stage as the angry teenager gave off a killing aura. Harry to a deep breath and buried himself in the music because when this Day was over he was going to hex Ron and the other guys for losing and making him suffer this public MUGGLE humiliation.

Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'cos every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

The Girls were going wild as Harry strutted on the stage. The Judges were surprised that this was the moody teenager that was thrown on stage. He was playing up the crowd smiling and dancing there was no sign of the killing aura he was giving off moments ago.

Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain't missin' not a single thing.
Cufflinks, stick pin,
when I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

“Granger what is that?”

“This Parkinson is a Muggle device called a camcorder. It records this like a pensive but it’s easier to make copies and plays anywhere I’ve been taping Harry’s day from start to finish I think Hogwarts will interested to see this at the graduation feast.”

“Smart Granger we’ll have to take that muggle thing through out the school and catch others with it. Especially a snobby Blond I know.” The girls snickered as they began to plot

Top coat, top hat,
And I don't worry coz my wallet's fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
lookin' sharp lookin' for love.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Harry used his Wandless magic through out the song as he danced making a top hat and cane to appear out of nowhere. Wowing the crowd and showing off his powers creating shimmering fireworks out of his cane. And when the song came to an end the crowd had doubled in size and all were demanding an encore.

“Well Harry how did you do all that?” The MC asked as he ran up on Stage.

“A Magician never reveals his secrets; that’s part of the Magic.”

“Wow you can sing and do magic you’re on talented kid. Okay let’s get the others on stage and we’ll see who the judges picked.” Nine other people joined Harry on stage. They were looking a little upset due to the showy performance and the Gryffindor felt just a little guilt about it. But only a little bit he knew if he didn’t win the girls would torture him and Hermione would blab to his Godfathers about his Birthday.

“And the Winner is HARRY POTTER!” The Crowd went wild and the girls cheered the loudest.

“Wow Harry you were awesome! You could be famous singing like that!” Lavender gushed once Harry was freed from the stage.

“I’m already famous Lavender. I don’t need to be Famous in the muggle world too!”

“Great job Potter. How did you do magic with out the M.O.M. coming down on you?” Pansy asked.

“I did wandless magic and it is harmless muggle parlor tricks. Muggles want to believe in magic and there are people called Magicians who create the illusion that they can do real magic. So it is easy to pass low leveled spells and charms off with out scaring muggles and getting the Ministry involved.”

“Wow Granger you’re not the only Gryffindor with a brain.” Daphne said in awe.

“Yes he likes to hide the fact he can be smart. Okay Harry I hope you had a rest because we’re not done shopping. I got the Credit card with your winnings on it and we have two hours left.” Hermione smirked at her surrogate brother.

“Oh Merlin help me!” Said he got out before he was dragged into another store.

XXXxxxXXXxx

“Why did the girls want us all to meet here at three?”

“Because Ron they are paying for our dinner that we won from them.” Seamus rolled his eyes. “Besides they’ve had Harry all day I wonder what they’ve had him doing.”

“I wonder what they needed our money for.” Draco drawled as he sat down across from Seamus.

“Well wait no longer!” Pansy said from the doorway with Hermione at her side.

“Gentlemen of the 7th class your galleons have gone to a very worthy cause.” The Gryffindor was practically giggling from excitement.

“Presenting the NEW HARRY POTTER!” the two girls shouted as the blushing Boy who lived walked through the door followed by the other 7th year girls who were blocking his escape.

The Gryffindor and Slytherin girls removed Harry’s cloak for all to see. Everyone in the in the Three broomsticks was speechless and not just the 7th years the other patrons of the pub as well as the staff. Harry was Gorgeous! He was still wearing the leather pant and boots that he wore to the contest but now he had on a tight Blood red silk long sleeve shirt with a tight leather vest and a metal chain belt that clung to his slender hips.

This scene was too much for Draco as he fell off his chair pinching the bridge of his nose to prevent the nose bleed that threatened to break free. ‘POTTER IS A SEX GOD!’

“Way to go!” Dean Shouted.

“Harry you’re a Sexy Beast!” Seamus Purred.

“Is that really you Harry?!” Ron couldn’t believe his eyes.

“Look they even did his nails!” Blaise said as he took the Gryffindors hand which earned a very painful stinging hex from his best friend who was still on the floor holding his nose. “Ow!” then he was shoved away by the Gryffindor.

“Shove Off Zabini! And yes Ron it is me and as soon as I get my strength back I’m kicking every one of your losing arses for the torture I have been through today!”

“Ok everyone now sit down so we can order.” Hermione smiled and gave a nod to Seamus before she sat next to Ron. A silent plan had been set into motion and Harry was none the wiser.

“Harry you can sit here!” the red headed Gryffindor called out. In a flash the Seat was taken by Seamus.

“Sorry Ronnie-kins that’s my seat right next to my lovely Dean.” The Irishman said as he fluttered his eyes at his lover who in turn rolled his. The girls filled the gaps between the lads taking every seat except for three. Blaise helped Draco to his seat and was a bout to take the seat next to him when pansy called out.

“Blaise dear come sit by me and tell me about your day.” Then she proceeded to drag him to where she had been sitting. Two seats gone and there was only one left for Harry to take.

“Malfoy, do you mind if I sit here?”

“No Potter, I don’t mind.” Draco answered softly praying that the nose bleed feeling would not return. “You look very nice.”

“Uh… thank you.”

“Seamus move so Harry can sit here he doesn’t want to sit next to Malfoy.”

“No thanks Ronnie I’m fine right here.” smirked the sandy haired Gryffindor.

“It’s ok Ron it’s just dinner I’m too tired to fight and Malfoy is being civil let’s just leave it at that.” Harry said tiredly. He knew Ron hated Malfoy before for the end of the war and after he tolerated the Slytherin but he would never accept that Harry loved the Slytherin.

“See Ronald Harry and Malfoy are being mature about this so just leave it alone.” Hermione scolded and the hot headed Gryffindor was forced to back down. He kept quite but he didn’t like the snake being anywhere near his friend.

XXXxxxXXXxx

The dinner was pleasantly enough. As chatter picked up and the drinks a food had been ordered and severed. Harry found himself having a very nice quite conversation with the blond Slytherin about classes and their god fathers. Seamus and Dean were quietly watching the two as they ate and so were all of the 7th year girls. Their plan to set you the two hottest guys was working. Ron on they other hand was deep in thought on how to get his friend away from the slimy snake.

“Well, thank you girls for the clothes and despite the torture I went through today I had fun. So thank you for your company and the meal but I hope never to go shopping with all of you ever again.” Harry smiled as he stood up from the table.

“Leaving already Harry?” Seamus asked.

“Yes I’m tired and have to unpack all the things they bought me.”

“I walk you back to the castle Potter. We still have some things to talk about.” Draco rose from is seat and followed the Gryffindor.

“Ok Malfoy.” Harry blushed slightly as the Slytherin helped him with his cloak. Neither Draco nor Harry heard or saw Ron being restrained from following them.

Once outside the pub the wind seemed to pick up and both boys wrapped their cloaks around themselves a little tighter and they walk a little closer together. This was moment worth savoring. They weren’t fighting with one another and they both seemed to get along with each other. Harry just wished he could tell Draco how he felt not knowing the blond was thinking the same thing.

“So Malfoy what did you want to talk to me about?”

“I wanted to talk about the ‘Promise’. You haven’t brought it up and it’s been a week.”

“Oh… Well, I release you from the promise. I was going to teach you all after I had calmed down anyways so there was no need for you to make that promise. Besides I don’t want to degrade you by making you to pointless tasks.”

“You can’t do that Potter I made a promise, I need to keep it and return the favor for you helping us.”

“Malfoy there is nothing I want from you.” ‘Except your heart.’ Harry looked away and began to walk a little faster.

“That is unacceptable Potter. If you won’t use the promise then let me use it and let me take you to the Dance next Friday.” ‘So I can be with you if only for a night.’

“What?” Harry stumble to a stop then turned to see determined gray eyes staring back at him.

“Will you go to the dance with me?”

“Yes.”
