" Malfoy?" Someone said. I blinked, noticing that I was standing in the middle of the walk way. 

" Yes," I asked. Turning towards that voice, I noticed that it was Harry, " Potter?"

He looked at me then said

 " Uhm, what are you doing? The train started moving thirty minutes ago and you haven't moved once. I know that we are supposed to hate each other and all that, but do you need a place to sit," He paused. " or something/ Ron and Hermione couldn't find me some reason so I have plenty of room. "

My heart was beating so fast and my brain going haywire. I nodded and followed him to his compartment.

The first hour was painfully awkward. Neither of us talked. Finally, harry spoke. 

 " So, Malfoy."

 " Draco." Harry looked at me as if I grew a second head. For a moment, we locked eyes. His green eyes were filled with confusion. After the train rattled along the tracks for a bit more, I coughed. " Call me Draco. That's my name isn't it?'"

Harry nodded then said " So, Draco," He added force to my name. 

" Anything happen interesting this summer?" He shifted in his seat and some of his black hair fell in in face. It took every ounce of self control to not push it away. 

" No, not really. Ya know. Reading and stuff."

It dawned on me. Harry was making small talk. With me. I busted out laughing. harry looked at me confused then soon, he started laughing as well. 

" I can't believe this." I said between laughs. " After years of yelling and trying to kill each other, we're making small talk." Harry was holding his stomach from laughing. 

" I was just thinking that!"

The two of us talked throughout the whole train ride. We stuffed our faces with chocolate and other treats. It wasn't until I heard that we were almost to Hogwarts did I ask, 

" Harry,does this mean that we're friends?" Harry stopped laughing and the smile that was on his face had gone. he sat there for a good while before looking back at me. 

" Yes, I would say so." I smiled and help out my hand. "

 Good. I think everyone will like that we are no longer trying to kill each other." Harry took my hand and shook. 

" I agree as well."

The great hall was full. The smell of fresh food filled my nose and made my mouth water. I hadn't eaten much since I ran from home. From my father. Father... 

" Shit." I muttered under my breath. I broke the one thing that would keep Harry safe. My father thinking that I hated him.

Quickly I ran from the table, forgetting about the sorting ceremony and headed to the lake. I knew students weren't allowed out here after curfew, but I needed to think.

The moon shone off the surface of the water where it was distorted. The wind made the air cold and harsh. It bit at my skin, but I didn't care. I had to do something. I finally had a chance to get to know Harry, but it would put him in danger.

After the clock struck midnight, I headed to my dorm knowing what I was going to do. I was going to make my friends think that I was using Harry and destroy him. Father would think that I was doing it for the ...Dark Lord because I would say that it was me trying to earn his forgiveness.

I will keep Harry safe.
