An unexpected relationship
Chapter 1
Looking
Harry Potter sat on the Hogwarts Express, his two best friends across from him, Hermione being on Ron's lap. They had started going out last summer. Now it was sixth year and Harry Potter still did not have a girlfriend. He stared out the window glumly as Ron and Hermione were laughing, playing, and kissing.
"Oh look at that. How romantic, The Weasel and Mudblood are together" Malfoy had suddenly appeared in the doorway, sneering.
Harry sighed and said, "Sod off Malfoy. We're not in the mood"
"Awww poor little Potter, his two friends are together and he has no one. How sad" Malfoy said in a mocking tone.
Harry stood. "I said sod off Malfoy. Go away and leave us the hell alone"
Malfoy pulled out his wand. "What you gonna do about it, Potter"
Harry also pulled out his wand, speaking in a calm tone. "Malfoy..go away. We don't need to hex each other."
"Whatever Potter. Consider yourself lucky" Malfoy turned and left.
Harry sat back down with a sigh, his two friends staring at him, jaws dropped. Harry suddenly looked at them, "what are you two staring about?"
"Harry you just..." Ron trailed off.
"You were just CALM with Malfoy." Hermione finished for him.
"Yeah, so what? I figured it wasn't worth getting in a fight over. I mean really. He's just Malfoy. I didn't feel like getting in a fight today. I'm exhausted. The Dursly's kept me working all summer and woke me up at 5 a.m. each morning.
"But but...Malfoy listened to you. That's the astonishing part. That NEVER happens. What the hell is going on?" Ron said.
"Dunno. Maybe Malfoy just decided not to get into a fight or something" Harry responded.
Harry's eyes left his two friends, going to the door. There in the window was none other than Draco Malfoy. He was smirking. Harry then noticed that Malfoy was actually kind of hott. With dark blue eyes and that blonde hair. /Wait a minute, hott? Have I lost my freaking mind? This is Malfoy./ Harry tore his eyes away and looked to his friends.
"This year we're just not going to fight with him guys. It's for the best. I am sick of it" Harry said.
Ron and Hermione nodded and started their little game again as Harry stared out the window, trying to ignore the thoughts of the blonde Slytherin who had been looking at him.
/Why was he looking at me? Maybe he was plotting to get me killed or something. Yeah, that's it./ Harry thought of this the rest of the journey, not noticing when the train started slowing down.
"Come on Har, we're here. I'm starving!" Ron said.
Harry nodded and stepped off the train with a sigh.
*In the great hall*
"Man why does the sorting ceremony always take so long. I am soooo hungry." Ron said, an annoyed expression upon his face.
Hermione nudged him as a signal to be quiet and returned her gaze to Dumbledore who was now welcoming everyone and introducing the new DADA teacher.
"Professor Jones is our new teacher. I certainly hope she does stay with us for a while" Dumbledore said.
"A girl?!?! Wow, Snape must be ticked. Now a woman has taken a place. And a pretty woman at that." Ron tilted his head as he said this, staring at the woman.
Hermione elbowed him in the side hard.
"Ouch! OK OK I was just kidding Hermione. Calm down." Ron said in response to the elbow.
/She is pretty I guess./ Harry thought to himself. /But not as pretty as Malfoy. NO! Dammit stop thinking about him Potter./
Harry looked over at Malfoy who was having what looked like a very boring conversation with Pansy.
He looked over at Harry for a moment and then back to Pansy.
/Oh those gorgeous eyes. NO! Dammit./ Harry looked around and suddenly realized that food had appeared. He piled his plate up and ate, ignoring everyone around him, not in the mood to talk. The plates were finally cleared and dessert appeared. He didn't eat anything, but just stared at his plate.
Finally the dessert disappeared and he blinked tiredly.
"Goodnight to all of you. Sleep well. Classes begin tomorrow" Dumbledore said with a smile.
Harry sleepily made his way to Gryffindor tower with everyone else. "Everyone the password is Chocolate Frog"
Everyone nodded and the Fat Lady swung open. Harry made his way to the sixth year boys dormitory and collapsed on his bed, kicking his shoes off, too tired to change out of his robes. He pulled the covers over him after taking off his glasses, and drifted off into a peaceful sleep without thinking about that blonde haired Slytherin who had looked at him.
