Harry and Draco never liked each other.

You could say they even despised each other.

But fate is indeed brutal. Now they're roommates.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

"STUPID POTTER I'M NOT DOING YOUR STUPID LAUNDRY IT IS NOT MY FAULT YOUR CLOTHES GET DIRTY LIKE EVERY OTHER HOUR!" Yelled Draco from the laundry room staring angrily at the door whilst holding a basket full of his own dirty clothes.

"MALFOY IT IS YOUR TURN TO DO IT IT'S NOT AS IF YOU DO MUCH AROUND THE APARTMENT ANYWAYS!" Yelled Harry back.

They have so far been roommates for 3 months and eventhough they put aside their differences for the time it takes to make a chore schedule for the both of them they still somehow can't even follow that.

Draco reluctantly throws Harry's clothes into the machine as well.

Stupid Potter, making me do his stupid laundry and telling me I don't do much around here. Stupid utterly and absolutely stupid.

Whilst Draco was angrily shoveling clothes into the washing machine and cursing him out, Harry was finishing the last bit of his coursework.

Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!

Harry's phone dinged with a stream of notifications, brining it to his attention.

Picking his phone up he realised it was Ron who texted him.

Ron Weasley is a good friend off Harry. In terms of likes, he also dislikes Draco, with the fact being their families always clashed.

Ron : Harry

Ron : Harr

Ron : Hary

Ron : H a r r y

Ron : Mate if you don't reply 😤

Harry : What is it?

Harry : I am busy 😐

Ron : Hi

Harry : . . .

Harry just stared at his phone in utter disbelief, questioning why he befriended this strange creature in the first place.

"Oi Potter, if you're done with your little chatter over there I need to inform you you'll need to fold the laundry" Draco spoke with a slight chuckle. He put his hands up showing his 'innocence'.

"Look Potter it is not my fault, I really wanted to fold the laundry but sadly I'll be out off home and I'll have no time to do it" He spoke whilst flicking away a fake tear.

He often does this, fake innocence to get out of doing the chores.

Well, mostly to annoy Harry. Which works surprisingly well.

Harry looked at Draco in annoyance.

Ding

Ron again.

Harry went to quickly check what Ron said so he can go back and scold Draco.

Ron : Okay but in all seriousness Mione has invited us over to watch some movies 🍿 🍿 🍿

Ron : please join 🙏 😭

Ron : you never come :(

Suddenly an idea sparked within Harry.

Harry : Fine, I'm done with my work anyways 😑

Ron : Seriously?

Harry : Yes

Ron : FINALLY!

Ron : I'll see you there 😉

Harry : Mm

"What's so funny Potter?" Draco realised something was amiss when instead of scolding him he just smiled.

"Nothing, nothing Malfoy." He said showing a bright innocent smile.

Draco shivered at that smile.
Something was wrong....

"Anyways actually I won't have time to do them either. Mione  invited me and Ron over to watch movies so you'll probably be back before me anyways."

"Aren't you busy?" Draco realised that stupid Potter has planned this to make him fold the laundry.

"Hmm? Ah no, I'm done with this for now" Harry closes his laptop," So I have plenty of free time.

Clasping his hands he hummed his way to the front door leaving behind a dumbfounded and annoyed Draco.

"How long will you be out..." Draco casually threw out, he wanted to seem like it didn't bother him.

It did a lot but that doesn't matter. He wants to know how long to be out to not need to touch perfect potters pErFecT clothes.

"I don't know, we'll see how it goes." Harry hums whilst putting on his shoes. "What time are you going to be back at?" Harry stood up. Tapping his chin asked,"Actually where are you going to?"

Draco didn't know how to respond.
He just planned to buy some food and wonder around long enough for the laundry to be finished and for Harry to be finished folding it.

Now that he actually has no way of getting out of it. In all honesty. He doesn't even wanna get out anymore.

"None of your business Potter, is it now?" He spat out crossing his arms. He honestly didn't know how else to react.

"Hmm of course, insignificant little me can't handle knowing what the snake Prince is up to in life"

"Glad you know your place"

They just stared at each other wordlessly. As if Draco remembered something, he studied Harry closely. Yup he realised.

"Potter"

"Malfoy"

"Are you forgetting something Potter?"

"What am I forgetting?" He wondered what was Malfoy playing at. He didn't forget something. Did he?

"Mmm, nothing don't worry about it"

Now Harry was convinced he forgot something.

"Okay now I am worried." He retorted.

"Pfft, Saint Potter is really easy to confuse isn't he?" Draco spoke out loud, not actually looking at Harry, looking at everything but Harry, as if he was talking to an audience in a stand up comedy show.

Harry just humphed and walked out the door with a slam.

Draco stood there, staring at a wall trying to hold in his laughter.

Pfft Potter forgot his keys

Draco chuckled to himself mischievously. But now.
Shall he actually go out and do nothing for few hours?

. . .

Nah
Laundry will be finished soon anyways. Why bother.

-With Harry Potter a few hours later

Harry sat there on the couch munching on his popcorn.

This is the third film now.

He's been third wheeling for like 5 hours.

This is exactly why he didn't come out with his friends as often as he did back then.

Ron and Hermione are so into each other it's nauseating, of course Harry wouldn't say that, he cares about his friends too much and is honestly happy for them.

But this was supposed to be movie night for the 3 of them. Not the couple and the best friend Steve.

The end credits came and Harry stood up, turning his head to Ron

"Sorry need to go now, was fun though."

He smiled reluctantly at them.

"It's alright mate, we should do this more often, you stay inside way too often"

"Ronald unlike you, Harry actually cares about his responsibilities, I'm impressed he even left that building" Hermione spoke out.

"But there is a truth to that, come around sometimes, it must be exhausting with Malfoy"

Harry just nodded politely and headed out.

After the door clicked Hermione started to clean up the couch whilst Ron turned off the TV.

"Wonder when Harry will invite us over" Ron asked whilst leaning on his hand.

"He's way too occupied with bickering about with Malfoy, anyways I wonder if they realise how much suggestive tension that gives off" Hermione chuckles.

"Hmm, true. Feels like thirdwheeling teens that are clearly into each other but deny it with their heart and soul." Ron added onto that idea. He carried on.

"What if all along they were actually deliberating hate flirting with each other and we just didn't notice?" Ron pondered on this thought.

Hermione surprisingly replied, " True, it's been like this for years. Lokey ship it. Enemies to lovers" she giggled.

"Enemies AND lovers" Ron corrected.

"Enemies without realising they're lovers" Hermione corrected again.

"Wait don't you hate Malfoys guts with a passion? Why would you ship them?" She asked realising how out of character Ron was acting.

"Ey look, that's between me and him, between the Weasleys and the Malfoys. As long as he doesn't do anything that brings Harry any danger I'll let my fanfic lover side prevail" He defended his actions with this stupid statement. Nothing new honestly.

"Right" Hermione just stared at her boyfriend with a disappointed and disapproving gaze before turning away to wash the dishes.

-Back with Parry Hotter

Rain.

Rain happened.

Don't know what to say, they live in Britain. Its nothing new.

Unfortunately Harry has been gaslighted by the weather and is wearing a hoodless  coat that is definitely not made for rainy days.

Also he was mad at himself for not questioning that Draco Malfoy more.

Because he was right.

Harry DID forget something.

Now he's soaking outside his door. Keyless.

Now Harry doesn't know where Draco went or how long he'll be out. And he WOULD NOT text him to look for him. That'd make him look dependent. Ew.

But it's raining so he should be here soon.

Or is he already there?

It started to rain more. Harry patted his coat to see if by a slim chance he didn't notice he actually had his keys with him.

He didn't.

. . .

Knock

Knock

"Oi Malfoy you're in there?" Harry yelled.

Malfoy was in there. But he didn't hear poor Harry's cries for help. Too busy scrolling through Netflix.

Harry stood there like an idiot waiting to see a sign off life.

He realised that light was indeed coming from the inside so he must be there.

Biting his pride he took out his phone to text Draco to let him in. Afterall he isn't that stupid, and he is trying to save himself from a worse cold than he'll already have.

Buzz

Dracos phone buzzed, absentmindedly he picked up his phone, opened it and went onto WhatsApp.

Saint Potter is texting me? Colour me surprised.

Draco whistled in surprise before going to their chat.

Scarface : Malfoy let me in.

Scarface : Why on earth didn't you tell me I forgot my keys?

Scarface : I'm getting soaked and if I get badly sick I'll make YOU responsible for taking GOOD care of me.

Draco realised his mistakes. He quickly stood up and went to the front door. Unlocking it to a drenched and shivering Potter.

He just stood there in the doorway, not sure whether to laugh and this sorry figure or to cry because he might actually have to take care of his archnemesis.

"Can you... let me in?" Harry spoke in a deadpan tone.

Draco stepped to the side, when Harry walked through the door Draco quickly stopped him before he could go in further.

"You are NOT soaking the floor" Draco glared at Harry.

Honestly, Harry was too cold to retort so he just nodded before taking off the cold, wet lump off cloth of his body before sliding off his muddy shoes and socks.

"Can I go in now?"

"You may" Draco responded before walking away.

Harry got sick the next day. And poor Draco needed to take care off his sick roommate.

***************
A/N decided to make this two parts as this is already 1700+ words long qvp.

I know the writing style is weird, sorry TvT.

I will check the grammar later as I honestly just wanna post this part now.

After the next part there'll be a different scenario further along into the plot line.

It won't really be a consecutive timeline. I didn't plan to make then in parts either it just so happened this chapter became too lengthy  qvp.

Anyways hope you enjoyed.
You can give me some topics to put into this "Enemies don't realise they're lovers" story.
