Chapter four ~ Falling Behind

"Harry seriously! It's been four weeks and your still not better.  You hardly ever eat anymore or make any conversation!  Your grades have been dropping and I can't bare to see you like this anymore."  Hermione said over breakfast one morning.                                                                                       "I'm fine Hermione!  If your trying to claim that i'm depressed or something just drop it right now.  At least I even came to breakfast today!" Harry said in a rambling tone.  Hermione just looked at him and decided is was best to just stay quiet for the rest of breakfast and leave Harry to...grieve. 

Harry walked into his last class for the day, Defense against the dark arts.  He came late the second time that week and it was only Tuesday.  Hermione and Ron didn't even attempt to turn around because they already knew well that it had to be Harry.  He looked around the back of the room, (not wanting to sit in the front where Snape had a better view of him) and saw an empty two person desk behind the table the Slytherin's were sitting at, and decided to go ahead and take a seat there.  He noticed the area had seemed to be neglected, with chewed up gum hiding in the crevices of the table.  It clearly showed that this is where the not so good kids would sit to stay back from the teachers.

Harry Potter paid no attention to the lesson, he just watched Pansy, Blaise, Goyle, and Crabbe throw notes of parchment at each other completely ignoring Draco. Does he not feel...left out?

"Mr. Potter!" Snape hollered at Harry from across the room, getting his attention.  Harry only looked at him.  Snape imitated Harry's movement and decided to take a good look at him himself, before he fast walked to where he was sitting.  He was so slik and smooth about it that it startled Harry when he saw Snape in front of him grabbing either side of Harry's desk, leaning in in an attempt to intimidate him.

"Tell me Potter...what did we just learn?" Snape said smoothly.  After Harry didn't answer, he quickly pulled back and pointed to the screen where there was a picture of a werewolf-mermaid looking creature.  "Tell me Potter! What is the name of that creature?" Harry swallowed the small amount of saliva left in his mouth.  "Well?"                                                                                                           "I-I don't know sir."  Harry finally said quietly.                                                                                                         "You don't know! And Mr. Potter, do you know why you don't know?" Snape lifted his eyebrows. "It's because you have been repetitively falling asleep in class, being late to class, or you doze off.  You will get nowhere acting like that!  And to think your the so called..."chosen one". You cant even get a potions essay finished. Your grades have been dropping hm?" Normally Harry would be getting really angry at this point, but instead of making the argument go farther knowing there would be a consequence, he just stared at Snape, eyes still heavy.  "I guess I will have to assign you a tutor then."  Giggles started to erupt through the classroom, specifically from the Slytherin table.  Only Draco kept a straight face, he actually had also lifted his head from the nest he built with his arms to see what all the commotion was about.  Hermione had raised her hand high in the air as if she was trying to reach for the switch on a ceiling fan, right when she heard Severus Snape mention the tutor. "And it will not be Ms. Granger," Severus started again, not even attempting to slightly turn his head to look at the puffy haired girl. "Stay after Class Potter."

Draco eventually fell asleep on the table and Snape wasn't so happy about that.

"Parkinson! Wake him up." Snape said glaring over at Draco.  Pansy started shaking Draco until he started sitting up and slapped her hand away.  "I guess your going to be staying after class with Potter Malfoy," Snape gave him an evil grin before quickly pushing it off and going back to teaching the lesson. 

After everyone had left, Snape called Harry and Draco forward and had them sit at a table together, closet to his desk.

"Open up your notes," said Snape glaring at the two of them. Both of them reached into their bags and pulled out a piece of parchment. "hmm..well i'm surprised you two even wrote the title."      

"I don't need to write notes," Draco said. "My dad taught me everything I needed to know for this year over summer break.  He...made it quite clear he wanted me paying attention to his lessons so I did so and...I already know all these things that you have been teaching." Snape stared at him for a moment before he slowly started to curl his lips into this scary but common (coming from him) looking smile. "Well then Draco, I guess you wouldn't mind tutoring  our dear Harry Potter over here." He motioned his hands over to Harry who froze in disbelief. Harry felt his chest tighten.  Draco slowly turned his head to look at Harry.  Harry noticed this and also turned his head to look at Draco.  They locked eyes, just staring at each other for a good ten seconds.  Until Draco suddenly said                                                                         

"K."  Harry was so lost in Draco's beautiful gray eyes that he didn't even notice what Draco had just said.  Snape's smiled turned into a face of disappointment.  He had expected them to start fusing, but instead they just looked at each other like they were...in love?

"Whats going on here?" Snape said waiting a moment before continuing.  "I've noticed you two both loosing your appetite.  You both look very weak especially you Potter.  Considering your the "chosen one", I don't think people would be happy if they noticed how weak you look.  I don't know if something happened between you two but you need to figure this stuff out."  Harry and Draco had started listening. "You two aren't leaving this room until you resolve whatever it is that's...happening..here." Snape stopped for another moment. "I'll bring you guys some food and after that, i'll give you your...alone time."

After Snape had left, Draco stopped holding his breathe and sighed in relief. He broke eye contact with Harry, and laid back in his chair.

"Listen Draco, he's not wrong.  I have also noticed our-er-your loss of appetite and weight." Harry spoke up.

"Is that right?" Said Draco. "Well I've noticed yours too Potter."

"Draco can you please tell me what's wrong?"

"Yeah like the all mighty great chosen one would care" Draco rolled his eyes. "Seriously Potter you hate me.  You would be the last person to ever ask me this question.  I bet you haven't actually noticed my loss of appetite!" Draco turned back to look at Harry. "You are only trying to be "nice" and ask me because you want to get out of here as soon as possible so you can go hang out with all those gryffindork friends that you have."  Draco eyes started to shine and he curved his lips up. "My own fake friends haven't even noticed anything wrong about me so unless your a stalker who is obsessed with me, you wouldn't have noticed either."

"So I guess Snape is a stalker then?" Is the only think Harry manged to get out. 

"He's a teacher he doesn't count!" Draco snapped.  

"Draco..." Harry said quietly feeling his own eyes start to shine. "Everyday I see you,  never paying attention in any of your classes.  Always being late and falling asleep in class. It's obvious there is something going on.  I can't even remember the last time I saw you eat.

"I'm never hungry," Draco interrupted to only get ignored by Harry.

"You look really sick.  Your really pale and.." Harry reached over to Draco quickly, pulling his shirt up.

"Hey stop don't touch me!" Draco yelled trying to push Harry away.  But when he felt Harry's cold hand on his stomach he stopped.  Both of his hands holding onto Harry's shoulders.  Harry's left hand held his shirt up while the other rested on Draco's stomach.

"Draco your practically anorexic!" Harry yelled.  Draco's eyes felt heavy even heavier at the word. And suddenly he felt tons of heavy tears falling down his cheeks.  Harry was frozen for a moment until he felt Draco wrap his arms around him pulling him into a hug.  In that moment, Harry felt something in his chest.  It was his heart.  Why was it beating so fast?
