    Summary

    Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.

    When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?

    Of course – of course – the soulmate spell has to be some kind of fake. Because – and how could it not have occurred to him before? – it’s just a fundamental impossibility that Malfoy is in love with him. Could ever be in love with him. Malfoy hates him like poison – always has, always will do.

    The relief Harry feels is so intense he can barely breathe. “Draco!” he says. “Er, Malfoy, I mean.”

    “What?” Malfoy grinds out suspiciously, as if he can’t bear talking to Harry.

    “The thing is – you hate me. So I can’t see on what planet I’m your soulmate.”

    “Potter, why the FUCK do you think this is a suitable subject to talk about in public?” Malfoy hisses. “Salazar give me strength.”

    “I’m hurt, Draco – positively wounded,” Zabini says delightedly. “Go on, Potter. We’re all waiting.”

    “Fuck off,” Harry says. “But seriously, Malfoy—” Malfoy utters a piteous groan, but Harry decides to forge on regardless. “You just can’t be, er, in love with me. So the only possible conclusion is that this spell is a load of bollocks, and we just need to find out exactly which load of bollocks it is, reverse it, and then never speak of it again. Right?”

    Zabini gurgles, as if he’s trying very hard to suppress laughter but failing.

    “Blaise – if you say anything right now,” Malfoy says, very quietly but in a way that Harry suspects can be heard right up in the Gryffindor Tower, “I’m going to fill your bones with fire, or lead, or possibly . . .” He trails off, as if he can’t think of anything bad enough to threaten Zabini with.

    “Firey lead?” Zabini chokes out, through snorts.

    “Yes!” Malfoy snaps.

    “Right, right,” Zabini gurgles. “Oh god, oh god.” He takes a massive, snorting breath. “Well, Potter, I hope you meet with great success in your scheme,” he says, and refuses to elaborate any further.

    Harry is left with the impression that there is some fucking enormous elephant in the room, which everyone apart from him can see. Zabini is . . . more like Hermione than he’s entirely comfortable with, he thinks, staring at the canopy of his bed. Except, he knows Hermione always acts in his best interests, even if she can be a pain in the arse at times. When it comes to Blaise Zabini though . . . really, who the hell knows?

    ******

    Heh, this is an interesting story. The author is funny (see above), and does a great job with the cast of characters, all of whom are personable and have their various motivations. (Zabini and Millicent..... and Greg are my favorites.) It's all Harry POV, and let me say now that that boy is a hard core oblivious idiot (almost to the point of unbelievability, sometimes... although author missed an opportunity to dig into his past and explain why he has such a difficult time recognizing or believing in love, or being able to interpret complex emotions from himself or others). Draco's as prickly as ever, and the boys kind of bang together like tennis balls, ricocheting away before they can have more than an awkward interaction.

    So much awkwardness, really. Harry's about monosyllabic (out loud) about how he feels, and Draco's always trying to twist the knife. They get it straightened out in the end, though. (But I'll miss the soul mark.)

    Summary

    “Ziyuan,” Jiang Fengmian asks one evening as both him and his wife are preparing for bed. “Do you notice how our youngest tends to attract…a different sort of trouble?”

    Ziyuan, who’s been busy removing her pearl earrings, goes still. She looks at him through the reflection of her vanity mirror. “Trouble? Our A-Cheng?” The unspoken ‘how absurd’ tacked on to the end is as clear as day. Still, she asks, “What do you mean?”

    Ah, how can he put this delicately without sounding preposterous? “By trouble I mean in the form of attention.” A pause. “Lots of attention. Possibly in the form of, uh, seasoned gentlemen.”

    Yu Ziyuan turns around and gives him a long, quiet stare. “Fengmian,” she enunciates slowly, carefully, “are you telling me that our son is a magnet for perverted old men?”
