Chapter One
"Harry," Ron said, "you seriously need to stop following Malfoy."
"Yeah, you're supposed to be trying to convince Slughorn." Agreed Hermione.
Harry felt his blood start to boil. He had heard this many times before, and he already knew he was supposed to be convincing Slughorn, but why couldn't his friends see that Malfoy was up to something? And he was set on finding out what. Meanwhile, he had to deal with the two people in front of him.
"Look guys, I already know that." Harry snapped.
His friends shared a look.
Hermione said, "Harry, just…forget about Malfoy, will you?"
"Hermione, you make it sound like I'm in love with the guy!"
Ron visibly shuddered at the thought.
"Mate, that thought is just disturbing." Ron said.
Harry looked at his friend, "Yes, I am aware of that, but all I care about right now, is about you two getting off my back about this!"
Hermione smiled kindly at Harry.
"Harry, I understand you're going through a lot of stress-"
"Hermione, stop trying to fucking psychoanalyze me!" Harry shouted, gaining looks from the other Gryffindors in the common room.
"Harry, I'm not trying to do anything other than help you." Hermione retorted.
"Well right now, I don't need your help! I don't need my friends trying to tell me what to do; I get enough of that from Dumbledore!"
At that Harry stormed angrily from the common room and slammed the portrait behind him, to the protests of the Fat Lady.
He was too angry to realize where he was going, but his feet took him down a familiar path. Before he knew it, he was about to reach the corridor that had the Room of Requirements. He stopped when he was about to round the corner.
He pulled his invisibility cloak out of his pocket, and threw it over himself. He rounded the corner to see a little girl holding brass scales standing in the corridor. But he knew well enough to know that it was either Crabbe or Goyle standing there instead of the little girl.
With his temper still high, he pointed his wand at the little girl, and whispered petrificus totallus under his breath. The little girl went still and silently fell to the floor, brass scales still in hand.
It was then that Harry went to stand by the spot in which he knew the door to the Room of Requirements was located.
And he waited.
He didn't have to wait long until he saw the door opening.
His anger still boiling, he pushed the blond figure back into the Room of Requirements, which was currently a large cathedral-like room.
The look on the blonde's face was one of complete bewilderment at being pushed back by an unknown force.
It was then that Harry removed his invisibility cloak.
"Potter? ...What the..?" said Malfoy before the raven-haired boy pushed him against the nearest wall.
"Malfoy, what the fuck have you been doing in this room?" growled Harry.
"I believe that is none of your business pothead, now will you please remove your filthy hands from me?" smirked the pale boy.
Malfoy was only adding fuel to the fire as Harry got more and more angry.
"You think I don't know something's going on? I'm not stupid Malfoy; I'm smart enough to know when you're up to something."
"Look, I don't care about how smart you are or aren't Potter, I just want you to stay out of my bloody business!"
That was when Harry Potter's blood completely boiled over and he acted before thinking. He pushed the other boy against the wall once more, and pressed his lips against the others.
Draco Malfoy's astonishment lasted only a second before he closed his eyes and gave in to the kiss.
Both boys' lips were smoothly moving against each other, and they're bodies pressed together before Draco parted his lips to allow Harry to explore the inside of his mouth. And the kiss deepened.
Harry allowed all his anger and all his stress to leave his body through that one kiss.
And then his brain caught up with him, and he pushed himself away from Malfoy, and the two boys looked at each other for one awkward moment before he turned on his heel and ran out of the room.
