Changes Can Happen So Quickly….
Harry Potter stood in the owlery one winter's afternoon. It was the last day of the holidays, and he stood staring out of the pane less windows watching great feathery soft snowflakes flutter to the ground. It was cold in the owlery and the occasional burst of winter chill would hit him in the face causing his cheeks to become a soft rosy red. He closed his eyes to the cold, and just listened to the wind whistle through the halls of the castle and his minds cleared, his shoulders relaxing as all his pent up stress dissipated.
Just as a small sigh of relief left Harry, he heard quick businesslike foot steps of someone walking swiftly up the hall. They slowed as who ever it was neared the owlery, and stopped in the doorway.
"Potter." A voice sneered behind Harry.
He didn't even have to turn around to know who it was.
"Malfoy." He replied, a curl to his lip that carried to his voice.
Opening his eyes, and turning on his heel, Harry looked at Malfoy, who hadn't seemed to gone to his room to change yet. He stood in a heavy cloak, with a thick, warm looking scarf wrapped around his neck. It was then that Harry noticed a piece of parchment in the other boy's hand.
A letter….. Harry thought, realizing that was the obvious reason why Malfoy was there.
Harry moved away from the window to Hedwig, and watched quietly as Draco tied the piece of parchment to his own owl with long nimble fingers, and then sent it flying west. Now that his business was taken care of, Draco's gaze fell on the landscape Harry had been staring at earlier.
Both boys lost in their own thoughts. Draco watching the wind whip the branches of the Forbidden Forest, as Harry scratched Hedwig under her beak.
It was very suddenly that Harry's arms were around Draco's waist, holding him tightly from behind, and to his amazement and quiet delight, Draco did not shove him away. Instead the blonde placed a slender, pale hand over Harry's own in an almost loving manner.
Even though the two were about the same size, just then Harry Potter felt very much like a child. That was when he realized things between himself and Malfoy had changed awfully quickly.
End.
