A/N: I don’t know where I’m going with this…. But it will end, I never put my books on hold! Enjoy!

Sunlight shone through the curtains that surrounded both boys’ beds as it marked the beginning of a new day. It was warm and quite sunny, a perfect day for the Gryffindor. As for the Slytherin… well let’s say it was a little too bright.

The dark haired boy opened up his eyes groggily and sat up in his bed. Stretching out his arms just like a cat, he yawned.

“Today seems like it will be interesting…” Harry murmured to himself and looked to the side to see a sleeping Draco “Malfoy, get up you blonde git”

The blonde haired boy pulled the covers over his face and groaned.
“It’s too bright you damned Gryffindork”

“What are you saying Malfoy? It’s quite the day today” He says, ignoring the insult completely.

“What’s so good about the sun burning out my retinas Potter?”  

“Well you see… err… well… you see…” Harry was out of explanations to give, seeing that the comeback really made lots of sense. The sun could blind you and then you would get that annoying light in the middle of your sight and if you moved your eye, that annoying bright thing would follow you.

“Save your explanations Potter, you sound like a broken record”

“I am not a re—“

Harry suddenly stopped, grabbing at his chest in pain. The coughing began slowly and quickly turned into harsh ones. Draco, stood up rapidly and went to Harry’s side, patting his back gently and panicking. What did Professor say…? Oh yea! Water!

Draco grabbed the empty cup beside the bed on the stool and ran towards a sink, filling the cup with crystal clear water. Just to make sure it was good drinking water, he cast a non-verbal spell, getting rid of any bacteria and pathogens that might have been hidden in the water.

As he ran back, he found Harry collapsed on the floor, still coughing but now, he was having trouble breathing straight.

As fast as he could, he leaned down on the floor and placed Harry’s head on his lap. He began to tilt his head a bit so that the water that filled the cup could easily get into Harry’s mouth without spilling much. Of course, coughing and trying to drink water was not a smart idea, it was the only thing the 2 boys could do.

“Potter, drink the water and stand up to insult me on taking too damn long!” Draco said as Harry forced a smirk at his choice of words.

~~~
After Madame Pomfrey had walked in, did a few checkups and assured the both of them that Harry would be fine in about an hour and left, the blonde haired boy let out a sigh that he didn’t know he was holding. Harry was going to be ok… that was good.

Good…?

Why is Draco glad that Harry was going to be ok? It was just a coughing fit…

A coughing fit that almost had a dying Harry on the ground. He argued and sighed, running a hand through his head. Maybe a shower was what he needed…

~~~

“I’m so glad it’s the weekend” Remarked Harry as Draco walked into the infirmary, all clean and smelling of vanilla for some odd reason.

“No classes today nor tomorrow” Draco adds and sat down on his respective bed. He began to run a hand through his hair while he took out a comb from his school attire. Brushing his hair gently, he began to talk.

“So Potter…. We are stuck together for a while. Now tell me, what are our plans for today? We must spend that time doing something entertaining.”

Harry looked over to the blonde with a shocked face. Did he mean… like a date? No… he can’t mean a date. We are both guys! Or… could it be that…

“You should see your face Potter! Priceless” He says chuckling evilly. “What did you think I meant? A date?”

“You insufferable ferret!” Harry yelled and threw the empty cup towards his face. Draco had very good reflexes and was able to dodge the cup and stick his hand out to catch it with elegance.

“Saint Potter can’t take a joke?” He sneered and threw the cup back at him, hitting a flustered Harry.

“I swear… I will kill you!” Harry said, his face tinging a light shade of red.

Draco looked at Harry as he got up and walked over to his bed. He noticed the tinge of pink on the dark haired boy’s cheeks. It was something he thought he would never see, the light pink on his cheeks… the wide eyes that look like emeralds and his messy hair so soft and…

“What are you doing…?” Draco called and felt someone hit his arm softly. It didn’t hurt but...

“Why would you joke about something like that? Love is something that grows in people, it is not to just push aside and joke about. Don’t play with people’s feelings that way and make them get all flustered! You seriously had me there thinking that going on a date with you would not be so bad…”

Harry immediately covered his mouth with his hand and looked away, embarrassed at what he had said. But honestly, he had seen a different Draco these 2 days ever since the potion and he wanted to get to know him more. Know everything about him and know why he was always acting like the most insufferable ferret of all time. What had made him begin to hate feelings just enough to later on become a bully. He wanted to know… And going on a date with the new Draco he had met just recently wasn’t all that bad.

“Harry…” Draco said and looked into the green orbs he had in front of him. “A date with me is something that I think you would not like…” He finished and looked away, knowing that he had just said something daring. What was Harry thinking anyways..? Saying that he didn’t mind Draco as a possible love potential? They’ve hated each other for 7 years and now… Well… He would like to go on a real date for once. The last dates that he had been on (Which were not very much) were only using him to not have any issues with the Slytherins’ or just for his good looks. No one actually went out with him for him. For Draco Malfoy.

Interrupting his thoughts, Harry spoke up.

“Well… maybe… let’s not make it a date. How about a friendly get together some time? I mean… I want to know more about you… About my enemy who has always made sure to make my life a living hell”

Harry look at Draco and smiled gently, hoping that the blonde boy in front of him would agree.

“Well… Potter” He started before he got interrupted

“So we’re back to last names?”

“Let me finish Potter”

Harry nodded and let him finish. After all, he needed—no, wanted an answer.

“As I was saying… Maybe a friendly get together wouldn’t be so bad. I do have a place in mind and not many people know where it is, so I guess you could say it’s perfect, but first we need food, it’s about 2 pm and we still haven’t eaten anything. I’ll go get some food for both of us then I guess… I’ll show you the place that I was talking about”

Again, the dark-haired boy nodded and smiled up at Draco who only sighed and walked off to the Great Hall, hoping to gather up some good food for the both of them. Little did he know, someone had been watching them for a while to know that their friendship has taken a new turn? That someone does not want that… and decided to pay a visit to the infirmary.

“Harry Potter” The unknown person said and walked into the room with their hood on.

“Who’s there?!”

He heard footsteps from outside his sanctuary of curtains which surrounded him. He could see their shadow yet could not depict who it could be. Maybe it was Draco pulling a prank. Yea! That was it!

“If you think its Draco Malfoy, think again. I want you to stay away from him. He hates you. Ever since you rejected his hand in 1st year…. You got him so depressed…. He wanted to spend time with you. He admired you! Yet you rejected him and now you decide being nice? He won’t forgive you!” The person turned around and ran off quickly, hoping they didn’t cause a scene… or got caught by Draco, now that would cause a problem.

As the footsteps completely disappeared, Harry began to think.

“Did I really cause him that much pain…?” He asked himself. Maybe he should make it up to him, after all, he wanted to meet the real Draco and not the Malfoy that had talked to him in 1st year.

 “Well… I just hope that person doesn’t try anything after I have decided that I must get to know him… meaning that I would have to spend more time with Draco… Maybe that person didn’t actually mean it”

He smiled to himself and heard someone walk in, almost tripping over something that was on the floor.

“Potter, I have brought your food” He heard. “And don’t you dare laugh…! I only tripped”

“Yea… Tripping is common” He mocked and heard a tiny grumble coming from his empty stomach.

“Well… bring the food over here. I’m starving”
