Well, I hope you enjoy!

Draco slowly walked the halls ignoring the glares of all the other students. He acknowledged the fact that he was hated for being a Slytherin, as well as being the ice-prince known to make the lives of the golden trio; especially scarface, harder than necessary. He knew he had brought this reputation on himself by doing everything his father wanted him to. He was infamous as the rival of their savior and they looked at him with contempt as if he would hurt them in an instant….wasn't he just a student like them? He knew that no other sixth year was dealing with the things he had gone through in the past year—not to mention his entire life…

What they didn't know was that since the end of the Triwizard tournament he had recognized his true feelings for previously mentioned Scarhead and as an unfortunate aftermath of the grogginess he felt as he woke up in the hospital wing after his duel with Harry in the bathroom….. He had opened his eyes and seen Harry there over him looking horrified at the bandages that covered his chest and he had done the unthinkable…he Draco Malfoy (snake) and confessed to the savior Harry Potter (lion)….. He laughed as he thought back to the unreadable expression on Harry's face as he bolted out the door…Draco paused for a bit as he remembered what he felt as he was coming to terms with his feelings….

He remembered how at the beginning of that year he had begun to feel different towards the Gryffindork and how he had begun to notice the way he walked and the way he would smile with his friends….he also remembered the lack of sleep worrying about that danger magnet throughout all the ordeals. The first task had almost given him a heart attack; of course he had covered himself well by insulting Harry.

"Potter, my father and I have a bet you see…I said you wouldn't last ten minutes….he disagrees.. He believes you won't even last five." Of course this had resulted in Harry insulting his father and that crazy Professor Moody who wasn't really the professor but a psychotic death eater in disguise had turned him into a ferret…(Which had become a running joke with all who hated him, mostly the weasel)

During that dreadful first task he had prayed to every god he could think of to keep that idiot safe and to not let him become dragon bait. He had sat on the very edge of his seat with his nails digging into the palms of his hands so hard they nearly drew blood.

The second task had been worse, having to deal with the fear of Harry drowning, trying to hide how much seeing him half naked affected him, as well as the jealousy of how harry had so many people he cared about and wondering if he had been at the bottom of the lake if harry would come to save him

Draco was interrupted by his musing as he realized he had finally reached the Slytherin common room. "Mudblood" he quickly said and walked through the now open portrait door and walked briskly to his common room in order to avoid speaking to anyone. Sadly it was not meant to be as he heard that dreadful sound that could only be described as…Pansy. "Drakey!" Pansy squealed in her annoying voice as she practically threw herself onto Draco. "Where have you been, I've looked everywhere for you! When are we going to have our 'us' time". Draco resisted the urge to throw the annoying girl off of him instead he gave her an icy look and calmly stated,"Pansy we are not nor have we ever been in a relationship"

"But Drakey we went to the Yule ball together!"

"That's only because the person I wanted to go with went with someone else!" Draco fumed as he finally made it to his prefect room as he slammed the door shut on her bewildered pug faceand preformed every protective charm known to students as he slumped down on the floor and leaned back thinking about the ball.

Draco remembered how jealousy burned inside him when he heard Harry had asked that –nasty Cho Chang to the ball then the Patil girl. He of course had to ask Pansy in order to keep up appearances as the perfect Slytherin prince. He had down his best to keep Pansy off him as much as he could and only danced with her in order to stealthily trip Harry and his date as they danced….Not that they really needed sabotage, Harry wasn't exactly dancer of the year….but it gave him a chance to get close and look at Harry with his beautiful green eyes and that dazzling smile…not to mention that perfect arse…

Draco sighed as he stood up and made his way over to the bathroom. He could feel himself becoming hard once again to the thought of harry. He'd always wanted his attention and it wasn't until fourth year that he realized just how deep his feelings ran….during the previous summer he had distributed his time from jerking off to Harry, to his studies as well as playing the part of a willing future death eater in the presence of his fath- no, Lucius. That man had ceased to become his father as he tortured Draco in ways harsher than ever simply because he had made mistakes in the private lessons. He shivered as he took of his clothes and proceeded to turn on the shower. 'Those are flashback I'd rather not have at the moment' he thought as he washed himself slowly. At least it had managed to successfully kill his boner. He laughed a bit. Harry….. Saint potter….so perfect…

He honestly had no idea what had possessed him to confess his true feelings to harry, but after all the things he did as a member of that toad Umbridge's squad and the unspeakable things he had done in this sixth year alone… He got out of the shower, dried off, put on a pair of silver and green boxers as he threw himself on his bed and smothered himself his pillow

Despite all his feeling in that fourth year, he hadn't admitted to himself how he felt until after Harry had come out of the third challenge covered in filth and shouting about how the dark lord was back. At that moment he feared for Harry's life as well as his own as he thought to himself…Dear Merlin….I love him….

Draco groaned as he pulled himself out of his thoughts. To make matters worse he had actually told Harry!

Draco opened his eyes and saw he was looking at shining green eyes filled with grief and sadness along with a mop of black hair. 'Harry? Am—am I dreaming if I am..' "Harry..." Draco murmured… "L—love you..." He opened his eyes once more to see Harry's face briefly before he shot out of the chair and bolted out the door. After wards Madam Promfery had come in and gave him the clean bill of health but told him to return to his room at once and rest one more day before returning to his classes tomorrow.

Draco sighed once again… I wonder if I'll see him tomorrow…. What will he say….with that thought Draco closed his eyes and attempted to fall asleep.
