Chapter One: A New Year

Ok, so I don't normally write anything other than anime or manga fanfictions, but my younger sister, TheyCallMeBaka, made me watch these Harry/Draco youtubes and I was all like, I have to write a Harry/Draco slash fanfiction. So tada, here I am. I hope you enjoy, because I don't read Harry Potter fanfitions and this is my first on.

I do not own Harry Potter or any of the Harry Potter characters. Warning: there may be obscene language and lemon. I warned you, if you don't like it, get over it.

Harry boarded the Hogwarts Express and looked for an empty car. He wanted to leave his friends Ron and Hermione alone, after spending the entire summer trying to tell each other that they liked each other, the day before their letters for school came Ron finally took a potion that would give the courage to tell Hermione how he felt about her. Hermione feeling the same way accepted his offer of going out with him and they had been unable to separate since.

From where Harry was standing he could see only one empty car. He opened the door and was greeted with a snide, "What do you think you're doing Potter?"

Harry looked behind him and saw Draco Malfoy sitting in the car, but strangely enough he was without his goons Crabbe and Goyle.

"I'm looking for somewhere to sit." Harry said sitting down across from Draco. "This is the only that isn't full."

"So go find another car to sit in." Draco said crossing his arms. "Where are your pathetic friends anyway?"

"You mean Ron and Hermione? They're off somewhere by themselves, they just started going out so I thought I would give them some alone time." Harry said. "Where are your pathetic friends?"

"Crabbe and Goyle are in another car, with their girlfriends." Draco said looking out the window of the train, waiting for the train to start moving.

"Speaking of girlfriends, where's Pansy?"

"With Crabbe, she said she'd rather have a man with bronze then a man with brains."

Harry felt awkward. "I'm sorry," he said.

"I don't need your pity Potter!" Draco cried sounding upset.

Harry smiled to himself. So Draco could feel more than just one emotion, he could get hurt just like the rest of the world.

The train pulled into Hogwarts station. Harry straightened his robes and was about to step out of the car when Draco grabbed his sleeve.

"Hold it Potter," Draco said.

Harry turned so he could face Draco. "Yeah," Harry asked.

Draco raised his hands to Harry's neck. Harry almost thought Draco was going to strangle him but then Draco started to fix his tie. "Can't leave the train looking like a bum or your friend Ron," Draco said.

Harry looked down at his now straight tie. "Um…thanks," he said and left the car.

Harry climbed out of the train only to be greeted cold rain falling from the sky. "God dammit," Harry whispered.

"Need an umbrella?" Someone asked from behind him.

Harry turned and saw Draco holding a Slytherin umbrella. "Thanks," Harry said and stepped under the umbrella.

"Are you going to ride with your friends?" Draco asked seeing Ron and Hermione step into a carriage.

"No, I don't think I'll go with them. I don't want to be the third wheel." Harry said and started to walk towards a carriage with Draco.

Draco smiled. "Yeah, I know what you mean." He said stepping into the carriage after Harry. "So when did Granger and Weasly start going out?"

"The day before we got our letters for school, Ron took a potion to give him courage to ask Hermione to be his girlfriend, and since she liked him back the rest is history." Harry said looking at the rain spattered window. "And then there's me, left all by myself."

"That's pretty sad that your only friends are Granger and Weasly," Draco said.

"It's not that Ron and Hermione are my only friends, I mean Ginny and Neville are going out now, Dean and Seamus are pretty close friends, Fred and George quit school and Cho graduated school, so I'm kind of the odd man out." Harry said.

"Yeah, Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy were my only true friends. Everybody else just followed me around, and without Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy I feel like I don't have a friend in the world." Draco said.

Harry looked at Draco. "You know what Draco, I think we should make amends with each other and since we don't have any other friends I think we should become friends with each other." Harry said looking at Draco.

Draco looked at Harry. "Are you doing this because you feel sorry for me or because you're lonely too?" Draco asked.

Harry smiled. "A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B." Harry said.

Harry and Draco laughed. "Alright, let's become friends," Draco said and they shook on it.

The first one to notice Harry and Draco walking into the great hall together was Professor Snape. He stared snidely at the two teenaged boys as they parted to go sit at their house tables.

Snape stood from the teachers tables and quickly walked over to the Slytherin table. He grabbed the back of Draco's robes and held him by the scruff of his neck just like you would a dog or cat. "Why did you just walk in with Potter?" Snape hissed.

"We just happened to walk in together." Draco said with pain in his voice. "Nothing more,"

"You'd better hope it's nothing more with Potter," Snape said shoving Draco away from him. "We wouldn't want your father to find out that you were friends with Potter now, would we? He wouldn't like that much."

"No sir," Draco said looking down at the table.

"Look at me when you speak to me," Snape yelled.

Every head in the great hall turned to look at Snape and Draco. Draco was by far Snape's favorite student, and he never yelled at Draco, so everyone was in a state of shock.

"I said, 'no sir,'" Draco said looking Snape straight in the eye.

"That's better. I'll be sending your father an owl about your behavior," Snape said and walked away.

Whatever, like I give a bloody damn. Draco thought to himself. Draco looked over to the table next to his which was Gryffindor and looked at Harry.

"What happened?" Harry mouthed to Draco.

"Snape just being an ass like he normally his." Draco said with smirk. He didn't even care about the owl his father would be receiving to night and the howler he would probably get the next morning.

Both boys giggled because they knew it was true and then turned their attention to Dumbledore who was giving the beginning of the year speech.

"To new students, welcome, and to students who are returning, welcome back." Dumbledore said in a booming voice. "Our groundskeeper, Filtch would like to me to remind all students that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden to all students…" Draco began to tune Dumbledore out. He started to stare at Harry, who was staring at Dumbledore.

He didn't know why he felt the urge to look at Harry, but Draco felt that if he didn't memorize what Harry looked like, he would forget.

I'm just being silly, besides; it's not like I'm gay or anything, right? I don't like Harry that way, we're just friends. Draco said to himself.

And yet, he couldn't take his eyes off Harry. And oddly enough, he didn't want to take his eyes off Harry.

Okay, maybe I am a little bit gay, but just for Harry. Draco thought blushing when Harry looked at him and smiled.

"So who did you ride with on the train?" Ron asked as they ate dinner together.

"Oh, I sat with Draco, we had a nice chat." Harry said taking a bite of corn.

"You Sat With Malfoy!" Ron cried while joking on his pumpkin juice.

"Yeah, I didn't want to be the third wheel with you and Hermione." Harry said as he continued to eat.

"Oh Harry, that's so sweet, but you could never be the third wheel." Hermione said reaching across the table and patting Harry's hand.

"Yeah mate, you're our bestest friend in the world. You're the glue that keeps us together." Ron said.

"Yeah, but shouldn't I try to make new friends?" Harry asked waving his fork for emphesis.

"Yes, but not with Malfoy." Ron said and ending the conversation.

"I don't see what the big deal is," Harry grumbled.

"It's Malfoy, for Christ's sake! Do I have to draw you a picture?" Ron yelled.

"Yeah, I think you might have to." Harry said getting angry.

"You two have hated each other since the beginning of time, why would you two start liking each other now?" Ron yelled.

"Now Ron, I think it's good that Harry has made peace with Malfoy and become friends with him." Hermione said trying to stop the two from fighting.

"I think your just mad because I'm making new friends and you don't like it." Harry said.

"You're right, I don't like that you're making new friends, with Malfoy." Ron yelled.

Harry looked up and saw Draco looking at him, so he said the only thing that came to his mind. "Well, I guess if you can't appreciate me having friends other than you and Hermione than I guess I'm not your friend anymore." Harry said and moved a little bit away from the two.

"Now wait Harry, you don't have to be like that." Hermione said. "We don't care who you're friends with, don't we Ron?"

"If friends with Malfoy, than I guess there's now room for me to be his friend." Ron said coldly.

"Come on guys," Hermione begged. "We've been friends for like forever, please don't ruin what we have."

"People change," Harry said. "I'm sorry Hermione, I can still be friends with you, but I can't be friends with that stubborn, pigheaded ass."

"He even starting to sound like Malfoy." Ron grumbled.

"If you're going to say something to me, say it to my face." Harry yelled.

"Boys please, six of friendship, going down the drain, all over nothing." Hermione said with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Hermione, things happen, people change." Harry said and left.

I know it was horrible for a first chapter. Harry and Draco becoming friends and then Harry and Ron ending a six year friendship. What will happen? I don't know, I'll try and work on it during required study tonight. Remember, I'm at school for six weeks…
