Potter Came to Visit

Harry Potter was sitting in an armchair and thinking about his time at Hogwarts. First year? I guess that can be described as creepy and surprising. It isn't every day somebody is told "yer a wizard, Harry!" or finds out they've been invited to a school for "witchcraft and wizarding".

Harry couldn't think about the sixth year. A betrayal, the death of Dumbledore, Draco being forced to kill Dumbledore... oh, wasn't that why Draco was crying in the bathroom? The seventh year... Harry decided he would rather dream about Voldemort than try to recall everything that happened. Memories of the fierce tension from then still scared him.

As the years went on, Harry learned to not just look out for himself, but also to care about the well-being of people around him—an important lesson from Serverus Snape. After some time of reflection, Harry decided to apologize to Malfoy.

At the same exact time, Draco Malfoy was thinking about his years at Hogwarts. During the first year he was a jerk and did an awfully good job being one for the next few years. In the fourth year, Draco had hoped Harry would end up dead within the first 5 minutes. He could recall being massively disappointed when that wasn't the case. Draco thought, Wow Draco, that was mean. You wanted somebody to die. Did you really hate Potter that much?

By the beginning of the sixth year, he was at a breaking point. And Potter, that Potter, he went inside the bathroom and found him crying. That was one of the worst things Draco had ever experienced at Hogwarts.

Then, Draco's living room exploded.

Harry was really regretting paying a visit to Malfoy. Especially the Malfoy who he had almost—STOP, Harry reprimanded himself. I came to the new Malfoy mansion to apologize, not to think about the awkward things that happened 10 years ago. Then he locked eyes with Malfoy's pale, gray ones.

Oh, Harry thought. I hope he doesn't realize I destroyed his fireplace. He slowly stepped out from the mess of ceramic and began to make his way down a long hallway.

"So what were you saying? YOU APOLOGIZE NOW?" screeched Draco, looking red in the face. "I was just going to forgive you for all you did and—"

"I know that was five years ago. Given some time, I come to realize that today would be perfect for apologizing. The ministry gave us apprentices a break today; it's also the anniversary of when I first tried out the "Sectumsempra" spell," said Harry.

Draco's eyes widened when he realized what Harry meant. "Nononono. Please don't mention that scene," he stuttered, pulling out his wand on instinct.

"Really, I just came here to apologize. And you are going to make this a spell duel?" Harry grinned, slipping his wand out from his robes.

Draco sighed. "No, please go. Your apology has been accepted. However, I never want to see you here again without warning. I mean it, that's creepy. Don't you have something else to be doing?," he muttered, quickly handing Harry a bag of Floo Powder.

Harry, amused, took the bag of floo powder and waved back at Draco before running off yelling, "Sorry about the fireplace! Try to have a nice day!".

Draco rubbed his head. "That's great, Potter! I'll get you back later!", he managed to grunt out. His maid heard the commotion and began running downstairs.

"Draco, your face is red. What's wrong? Wait one second Draco, what happened to that fireplace I just bought?"

"Potter came to visit."

A/N: Upon my second time editing, I realized that I missed a LOT of mistakes and should've revisited this earlier. Have fun reading!
