EARLY CHAPTER YAY

It will be getting smutty soon, patience young ones

But don't get your hopes high
***

Pansy Parkinson.

In Draco's opinion the most utterly annoying and uninteresting person that Draco had met in his rather short life, not fully lived life.

And now she has become, if possibly more annoying.

Her hands lay rested on her tilted hips on top of her white shirt that hung untucked and crumpled.  A Few wisps of hair hung over her dark eyes. How different they were to Harry's brilliant green ones, and Harry's hair was so different to her stringy locks, his was thick and messy and wavy, perfect for running hands through...

"Are you even listening to me?" Pansy spat narrowing her dark eyes.

Draco swung his legs out of his bed, his blankets were unbelievably messy considering he didn't get a wink of sleep and lay thinking of Harry the whole night.

"No" Draco said sleepily, rubbing his eyes with two fist.

Pansy stamped her foot on the wooden ground like a toddler.  "Well you better start! Or how would you like me to tell a teacher about your late night wonders? Maybe I'll tell your parents!" She shrieked. Draco felt his ears hurt from the horrible sound of her high pitched voice. (A/N Am I letting my hate for her stand out too much? lmao)

"Have you been stalking me or something? Are you crazy?" He stared bewildered at her face. Goddamn, she did look crazy, with a mad smile on her thin lips, hair spreading madly across her head and a pale canvas like face that had splashes of red on her forehead and cheeks.

"No, I just saw you leave your dorm last night. And were by yourself so I knew you weren't working on the cabinet!"

Draco didn't say anything, she was definitely crazy.

"Are you going to tell me where you went or will Snape have to make you?"

"Why do you care, we're not in a relationship, you're not my mum!" Draco rubbed his eyes again trying to banish the overwhelming feeling of tiredness. "Hang on... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY DORM? "

Pansy bit her lip with a guilty, embarrassed look on her lowered head. A flush ran up her face, starting from her neck to her hairline "I...um..."

She suddenly straightened up "None of that matters" She shot briskly "I need to know where you went, were you with that Beryl girl?" Pansy demanded.

Draco rolled off his bed and pushed past Pansy, nudging her a bit as he made his way to his closet. Draco just realised that his attire from last night still clung to his hot skin.

"Look you better leave now or I'm getting a teacher" Draco said more calmly than he felt as bent down and rummaged through his clothes.

"Tell me Draco!" She yelled shrilly "Tell me who you snuck out to see!"

Draco looked up at her as Pansy towered over him, she would have looked at home at an asylum.

"Go away now Pansy" His voice was soft but even someone as slow as Pansy couldn't mistake the overpowering anger mixed through his words.

Maybe Pansy was stupider than he thought as she continued to screech "Was it Bethzy? That Janny girl? Was she even a Slytherin?" She said as if it were the most offensive thing for him to hang out with someone not Slytherin.

If only she knew...

"Pansy" Draco sighed threateningly.

"Draco I am going to go to Snape right now if you don't - WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"

Draco had snapped and unearthed his wand. The tip was now placed threateningly against the little nook where her overly large head connected to her neck. Pansy backed away and Draco followed her and soon, with the wand still poking her, she was pressed against the wall.

Her breaths were quick and loud and Draco could see she was trying to remain calm as she fumbled for her non-existent wand. "Draco, don't you dare!" She shrieked.

Draco's hand flinched, hadn't planned on actually using any spells on her, but if she didn't shut up...

Draco lowed his wand slowly and stalked away now caring that he still hadn't changed out of last night's clothes.

Draco decided to escape all the noise and do some studying in the library.

Ignoring Crabbe and Goyle's words of greeting Draco left the common room, it was still quite early but anything to escape crazy Pansy.

Why did he need to be in the same house as her?

Or the same year?

And why, oh why, did he ever date her? He was sure that he never really liked her. After all he felt more attraction to Harry than he ever did to Pansy, and that was only after one day of actually not hating him! He would probably rather date Harry than Pansy.

No 

Draco wasn't gay.

Draco didn't like Harry.

And Harry certainly didn't like Draco.

Or did he?

Maybe Draco was wrong but the way Harry looked at him, it was more than a friend would. Or maybe Draco was just so under experienced with friendship he mistook Harry's niceness for attraction.

But didn't Draco like Harry! Right?

Draco could deny it all he wanted but deep down he knew that just the thought of Harry made his stomach squirm. Maybe he did have a crush, but just a small one of course. But still it was preposterous to think that he could develop a crush in a day. Really Draco? 'Just a day? Maybe you have had a crush on him for a little longer than that.' Came the little voice in his head. Draco hated that voice it was annoying and reminded him of Pansy, but it did have a point, maybe he had liked Harry a little longer than he thought. Maybe all the hate he had felt for Harry was really under developed feelings of affection?

No, it couldn't be, it was preposterous to even think he would like Harry Potter.

Speak of the devil...

There was Harry, along with Hermione and Ron like always. Just like the day he went past them while they were laughing, they were huddled together in a deep conversation. The day they got the detentions felt so long ago, not anything like the few days it was.

Draco felt intensely awkward and bare walking past the trio and tried to ignore them as Ron pointed to Draco and hiss something inaudible into Harry's ear. Although it wasn't Harry who had whispered to Ron nor did he necessarily consent to Ron whispering to him Draco couldn't help feeling slightly betrayed even if they agreed to act like normal whilst around others, Draco felt like Harry had been talking about him to Ron and Hermione.

Draco felt the tears prickling at his eyes and threatening to spill as he got closer to the library entrance. No you are a Malfoy you can't cry, especially over some scum like Potter. With a deep shakily impalement of air Draco cleared his eyes and shut out the sounds of Harry laughing behind him and continued forward.

It wasn't until Draco was at the library door that he realised

He forgot his books.

Harry's POV

To be frank Harry was in a rather good mood considering the circumstances, Ron was angry again. Hermione had been perched on Harry's bed listening intently to the encounter with Draco when just like yesterday Ron had walked in without notice. Except this time he didn't take it as well. After Hermione gave a Hermione like shriek he demanded that they tell him what had happened, Harry made up an unconvincing lie (N.E.W.T.S) that made Ron shake his head in disbelief.

"I'm not an idiot, I just thought that you trusted me more than this" He sighed and walked of leaving Hermione looking like she was about to cry.

Yes, of course Harry felt bad and dreaded having to see Ron but he was in such good spirits after last night's encounter, it had been truly, Magical. They had really connected and at one point it appeared like Draco  was about to cuddle into him. Of course he didn't though, he probably didn't even like Harry. But that didn't stop Harry falling for him even more, he didn't sleep a wink last night.

Harry sighed at Hermione's slouched figure next to him, she didn't seem that happy.

"I'm sorry 'mione, we should've done this in more secrecy"

"Oh you don't need to be sorry Harry, Ron does! We are allowed to talk together without Ron acting like we're snogging" Hermione choked.

Harry felt awkward at the thought of snogging Hermione, she was too much like a sister to be doing that. "Well, in his defence it did look a bit iffy, us on the bed together"

Hermione rested her head on Harry's shoulder "I just don't know Harry"

***

As Hermione and Harry emerged from the dorm a  few minutes later they were meet by Ron. His Unruly rust coloured hair was especially curly and he was holding two tall glasses of pumpkin juice. "Look guys I'm sorry about the way I reacted, of course you guys are allowed to talk together, just the way it looked was..." Ron trusted the glasses into their hands "Here, just take these"

"Thank you" Hermione said in a small voice.

"Thanks Ron, honestly we didn't do anything thing"

Ron nodded "Of course not" He shot a smile that Harry returned.

Harry raised the drink to his lips "These don't have drought of the living death mixed through them, do they?" Harry laughed.

"No, bleach" Ron said in a deadly serious voice that made Harry lower his glass.

"MERLIN'S BEARD, I'M JOKING!" Ron roared and soon they were all clutching their sides from laughter.

***

After breakfast Ron, Hermione and Harry were slowly but surely making their way back to the common room before Hermione stopped to tie her shoe and they had remained in that exact spot since.

Hermione laughed "I was actually surprised that you know what bleach is Ron"

"Honestly you said it so serious"

"You should have seen the looks on your faces"

"Don't you ever do that again, I'm -"

Suddenly, like all the oxygen was sucked out the room, Harry couldn't find a way to speak, or breath or move as he caught sight of Draco. His blonde hair, which was now longer than in his past years, was especially ruffled looking and this clothes were crumpled. Harry reconsidered the clothes from last night. For a second they locked eyes before Draco looked away.

"Harry? Harry?" Came Ron's distant voice. He looked where Harry's eyes lay and let of a soft "oh"

As Draco passed them Ron leaned towards Harry and whispered "Wow, he looks like he hasn't slept for weeks" Harry gave a grunt like noise in agreeance. It was actually true, he looked like he needed sleep but he also looked beautiful, kind of mysterious.

As Draco saw Ron whispering something to Harry a flash of hurt, anger, jealousy and betrayal all at once filled his eyes but he quickly looked away.

"I wonder where he's going."

Draco turned into the library.

"I guess that answers your question" Harry said along with a high, false laugh.

"I guess we should go" said Hermione.

Ron nodded in agreeance. "Actually I have some work to do in the library" Harry said.

Hermione's eyes flashed with recognition   "You go, Ron and I will go back to the common room"

Harry nodded and ran to the library, hoping, no, begging, that Draco wasn't mad. Unfortunately Harry didn't look as he speed into the library and collided with a wall.

Except walls weren't warm.

And walls didn't breath.

"Draco!" Harry yelped. If Harry was thinking straight he would have backed away immediately but he was paralysed with fear and instead stayed plastered to Draco's chest. Harry looked up gazing straight into Draco's confused eyes, 

Suddenly reality came over Harry and he jumped away from Draco. Draco narrowed his eyes "What are you doing here?"

"Well, you see, I go to school here and this is a library"

Draco rolled his eyes "I mean why aren't you with Weasley and Granger?"

"I don't know, why aren't you with Crabbe and Goyle?"

Draco pushed past him "Whatever" he muttered.

Harry felt a wave of regret "Draco, wait!" He ran up to Draco and clutched the edge of his jumper.

"What are you doing Potter? Someone will see!"

Harry spun Draco around to face him "I don't care."

Draco sneered "aren't Weasley and Granger missing you, or have they ditched you and now you're running after me?"

"What happened to that whole thing about trust and not thinking that I want to do you in every second?"

Draco laughed, it was false and high and sounded wrong, nothing like his real dreamy laugh. "I bet you're just telling them everything, I don't call that trust" He began to walk away again

"Draco I didn't tell them anything" Harry called after him in a whiny voice Draco continued on. Harry ran a few steps after him.

"Draco I promise!" Draco still remained silent

Harry tugged at his jumper "Please Draco, please" Harry whined in a high pitched, babyish voice.

Draco turned around and unexpectedly swept Harry into a bone crushing hug and rested his chin on Harry's black hair. "I'll see you Tuesday" He breathed out huskily. And as quickly as he hugged Harry he let go and walked away.
