Dragon's Desires

Dragon’s Desire

Harry sighed as he waited in his bedroom at number 4 Privet Drive for Hedwig to return with a letter.

Harry had sent a job application to an available position that was advertised in the Daily Prophet. He had of course put it under a false name, Seth Dursley, as he didn’t want it to be advertised in the paper that he had applied for a summer job at the famous Wizard Gay club, ‘Dragon Desire’.

He didn’t have to wait much longer as Hedwig came soaring through the open window with a letter held in her beak, and dropped it onto his lap before landing on top of her cage.

Harry’s heart was beating wildly in his chest, as this letter would determine what he did for the rest of the summer, before he goes back to Hogwarts for the 7th Year. If it was a ‘no’ he thought he’d ask Ron if he stay over for the entire summer. If it were a ‘yes’ he would stay at the Leaky Cauldron, under his false name and disguise and work at the club.

With trembling fingers he opened the envelope and pulled out the letter, before reading it carefully:

Dear Mr Dursley,

We have read your application and must congratulate you for making the next stage in the process.

The reason for this next step is to finalize who shall get the summer job as we received more applicants than expected. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience.

The finalize process will occur at 10th June. Please come prepared for the job as, if you’re successful, you will be hired & expected to work on the spot.

If you have any questions, doubts or second guessing, please reply directly to: Andrew Linton, Manager of Dragon Desires, two days prior to the process.

Until then,
Best Wished,
Andrew Linton.

Harry stared at the letter in disbelief. He made it to the next stage. He looked at the date again; it was tomorrow night! Knowing that he should check if his Leather pants fit, that some anonymous sender had sent him, and double-check the glamour potions he had made while still at Hogwarts.

Harry’s heart was beating furiously in his chest as he stared at his reflection, in his hand held mirror, before going next door for his trial. Harry decided to keep his well-toned body the way it is and only change his facial features.
Harry’s new face had Hazel eyes, neat should-length black hair, there was no scar on his forehead and he didn’t need his glasses any more as he permanently fixed them in his last week of school.

Gathering up his courage, he pocketed the mirror and walked to the entrance of ‘Dragon Desire’.

“ID,” the bodyguard said.

“Uh…I’m here for the job trial.” Harry said. “My name is Seth Dursley.” Harry then got out his letter and showed it to the 6-foot bodyguard.

The bodyguard looked at the letter, then at Harry with a smile, before handing back his letter. “Good luck then… though I must say,” the guard said as he looked Harry up and down.” You’re much better looking than the other fella.”

Harry just stared at him and walked in when the guard waved him in.

Harry managed to find the Manager, Andrew Linton, who was talking to another guy, who Harry suspected was his opponent.

“Mr. Linton?” Harry asked. “I’m Seth Dursley.”

“Ahh, glad you made it! Seth, this is Lee Adams. Lee, this is Seth Dursley. I’ll meet you behind the bar in 5 minutes. I have to finish the preparation. You can wander or whatever, till then.” And with that Andrew left.

Harry gave the guy a thorough searching. He was 5-foot 9, slightly dark skin, black hair with blonde streaks in it, blue eyes and a nice slender body. Lee’s outfit for tonight was a tight white singlet and tight black jeans. Harry looked at Lee’s face again as he started speaking. “See ya soon.” Then walked off.

Harry hurried to the bathroom to double check his reflection and wandered if he ought to change his outfit. He was wearing the tight-black hipster pants and a silk green shirt, with a few buttons undone at the top and bottom.

Looking at his watch, he hurried to make his way to the bar. Once Andrew spotted Harry, he stood up and loudened his voice.

“Gentlemen, tonight is a special night. I have here two young, fit men who are trying out for the summer’s job. I need your help to decide which candidate you prefer. It is my pleasure to introduce you to both; Lee Adams and Seth Dursley!”

A huge applause met his speech, but Andrew continued after a couple of seconds. “First up will be…Lee Adams!”

Harry watched as Lee paled slightly but still made his way up to the stage where he stood in clear view of everyone and waited patiently for the music to start.

“Each contestant will have 15 minutes to try and entertain you with their moves. Till then, ENJOY!”

***
In the crowd a blond hair youth sat and watched with amusement and approval as Lee made his moves to the crowd. He watched Lee dancing the whole time, wondering if Seth Dursley was better or worse.

After Lee’s session, Mr. Linton came back on the stage to introduce Seth Dursley before he left again.

The blonde’s eyes widened in disbelief, the person was unfamiliar but he recognized the black leather pants. He had gotten a squib fashion designer to make 2 pairs of pants that were identical to each other, but completely different from all the other pants that were ever made. He kept one pair for himself but sent the other to Harry Potter, his long-time crush.

His eye’s narrowed in concentration, taking every detail of the man’s description of what he looks like. He had black hair, same height and had the same built as Harry, but the guy had hazel eyes, no glasses and no scar.

The blonde kept staring and studying Seth as he started dancing. Starting off awkwardly but then getting his rhythm right, he kept watching especially when he started to unbutton his top, in a painfully slow way, while still standing. And as his time was coming up and the song was nearly finished he took off his shirt completely and threw it into the crowd on the last note of the song.

The t-shirt somehow landed in the blonde’s lap, he picked it up and looked up at Seth, only to be met with a pair hazel eyes and a small smile. They stared at each other, not even noticing the wild applause, before shock, recognition and horror entered hazed eyes. He quickly pulled away and moved his eyes else where, but not quick enough for the blonde to recognize the look.

He can’t be Harry Potter, he thought. He just can’t be! But everything is so similar to Harry, except of his facial features. And where did he get those pants? Only Harry Potter and myself have that style. ONLY US!

He was broken out of his thoughts when the Manager started speaking. “Whoa! That was some performances, lets hear another round of applause for our performers tonight!” The applause was wild, with catcalls and wolf whistles. “Alright settle down! Now in front of you,” he paused as he raised his wand and a small piece of parchment and quill was in everyone’s lap. “Is parchment and a quill. Write down who you liked the best tonight, complaints are accepted, between Lee Adams and Seth Dursley! You have precisely 3 minutes from now to write down what you want. In 10 minutes time I will announce the winner!”

A short round of applause met his last words as he exited the stage and everyone went quite as they filled in their parchment with the self-inking quills. The blonde noticed the parchment was charmed so no one else could read it and once that person had finished it disappeared before the time limit.
Running out of time, he wrote on the parchment:

Seth Dursley,

Great performance.

10 minutes later the room went silent again as Andrew made his way to the stage for the fourth time that night.

“Gentlemen, the time has come to announce the winner. Can our candidates make their way to the stage.” Here Lee and Seth (who was still topless) came on stage. “It was a tough decision, each results were high, but there is only one job position, one winner. I would like you all to welcome the new member of our staff…Seth Dursley!”

Seth (Harry!) stood in his spot shocked before he turned around to shake Lee and Adam’s hand, and then turned to the crowd where he wore a breath-taking smile.

“Help yourselves to our bar and enjoy our entertainment. You will see more of Seth tonight and for the rest of the summer, so enjoy and goodnight.” Andrew said with a bow to the crowd, before he left the stage for the last time that night.
