Chapter one- The Secret and Smiling
Harry was sitting in potions class staring off into space; he knew that he shouldn't stare off into space when Professor Snape was teaching. It was very dangerous to not pay attention to what is going on in Potions; it could mean your life. But he couldn't help it; he hadn't gotten a good nights sleep last night. Last night he had a shocking realization; he was in love with his enemy. No not Voldemort, a certain blond hair, blue eyed god that was sitting across from him. Harry's eyes glanced over to the boy that was forced to sit by him, Draco Malfoy. Harry sighed as he watched Draco work, the determination and the gentleness he used when he worked.
Harry wished that Draco would look at him like he does the potions he makes; he also wished that Draco would hold him with the gentleness he used with the potions he made. Once again Harry sighed and laid his head on his arms as he continued to watch Draco work.
Draco looked to his side as he heard another sigh from the boy beside him that Professor Snape had forced to work with him. He could tell that the boy hadn't paid attention when Snape was explaining how to make the potion so he decided to give the boy a break since he looked like he didn't get a good nights sleep. His eyes softened at the look on Harry's face; just last week he realized that he loved the boy.
Draco really wanted to hold the boy in his arms and tell him how much he loved him, but the boy hated him. How could he tell the boy of his dreams he loved him when that said boy hated him. The only one who knew about his love was his godfather Snape, Draco had to stop him self from letting a tear fall from his eye, and noticed he put too much dragon hair in the potion. "Shit" he whispered.
Harry looked up when he heard Draco cuss, when that happened it only meant one thing, he messed up on a potion. "What's wrong?" Harry asked making Draco jump and turn to look at him.
"I added too many dragon hairs." Draco said running his hand through his hair that didn't have any gel in it.
"Oh, how much dragon hair is supposed to be in there and how many did you put in?" Harry asked.
"We were supposed to put three hairs in and I put in five." Draco said, "Now the potion is useless, well not useless just not the potion we were suppose to make." He said then sighed.
"Oh, what were we suppose to make?" Harry said then looked into the cauldron- which made him lean over Draco- and saw a bright purple potion.
"Um we were suppose to make a mind reading potion, and we made a, um, love potion." Draco said and blushed.
"Oh, will Snape be mad?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, he hates it when people don't pay attention. Oh god I've never messed up before." Draco started to panic.
"Oh, well then here." Harry said then moved so that he was in front of the cauldron and just in time too, because Snape just came around.
"What is this?" Snape asked as he looked into the cauldron.
"Well it was supposed to be the mind reading potion, but I added to many dragon hairs and made it into a love potion." Harry said and Draco had to catch himself before his jaw dropped. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Snape closed his eyes and breathed threw his nose a few times before reopening them.
"15 points from Gryffindor and see me after class." Snape said then walked away.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Snape sighed as he sat down at his desk staring at Harry who was figiting, "Harry, I'm your godfather, you know I care about you right." Harry nodded. "Then tell me what is wrong, you do not mess up in potions, you are like me in potions." Harry blushed at this. "Tell me what is wrong."
"I, can you keep a secret?" Harry asked, and Snape gave him a look.
"You know I can keep a god damn secret Harry." Snape said.
"Oh, yeah, right." Harry said nervously.
"What is wrong?" Snape asked.
"I, last night I couldn't get a good nights sleep." Harry said.
"And why is that? Has your scar hurt you? Did you have another nightmare? Do you want me to give you a dreamless sleep potion?" Snape asked walking to his potion cabinet.
"No, nothing like that happened. I was thinking." Harry said looking down to try and hide his blush.
"Thinking about what?" Snape asked then saw his blush and smirked, "Or should I be asking who?"
"Um, Draco. I, I realized that I don't hate him." Harry said then blushed a deeper red.
"Go on." Snape said.
"I-I-I love him." Harry said, and Snape smiled.
"Let me guess Draco messed up today in class and you took the fall?" Snape asked, Harry's eyes widened "I saw what happened Harry, he's the one who was making the potion because you looked like you were about to fall over. Now, I've kept you long enough, go to bed, I don't care if it is the middle of the day I want you to sleep." Snape said and pointed to the door, Harry smiled then hugged him and then ran out the door. Snape sat back down in his chair and closed his eyes when he heard someone knock on his class room door. "Come in" he called.
"Sev" Draco said as he walked in.
"Yes" Snape said.
"Can I talk to you?" Draco asked.
"You are ready are." Snape said.
"Oh har har har" Draco said.
"What is it?" Snape asked.
"I'm worried about Harry." Draco said, Snape sighed and slammed is head on his desk.
'Why didn't I guess?' he thought to himself.
"What about Harry?" Snape asked.
"He seemed out of it, he's never out of it." Draco said.
"He didn't get a good sleep last night." Snape said tiredly.
"What? Why? Did his scar hurt him? Did he have a nightmare? Does he need a dreamless sleep potion?" Draco asked as he basically ran over to Snape's potion cabinet but Snape stopped him.
"He's fine, he was just thinking, I sent him to bed." Snape said then drug him back to his seat.
"S-so he's fine? Wait what was he thinking about?" Draco asked.
"Sorry, I was sworn to secrecy." Snape said smirking. Draco pouted then the bell rang, "Oh yeah, don't freak out if Harry isn't in class." Snape said. Draco took that as his sign to leave, but couldn't seem to make himself turn away and pulled out a silver chain necklace that had a phoenix next to a dragon on it and started to fidget. Draco had made this necklace last summer when he was locked in his room to think about what he had done, he made the necklace for Harry but at the time he hadn't come to accept his feelings for the boy so was scared when he realized why he had made it. "What is it Draco?" Snape asked when he realized the boy had yet to move.
"Um, well." Draco started still fidgeting Snape's eyes were drawn to the necklace, "You see, I made this necklace for Harry, it has a protection charm, and it would alert me and you if he is in danger or hurt, and I want, could you. . ." Draco faded away in embarrassment.
"You want me to give the boy the necklace?" Snape asked.
"He has a name!!" Draco snapped.
"Fine, you wish for me to give Harry the necklace." Snape said.
"Yes, would you please." Draco said then handed to necklace to Snape then ran out of the room trying not to be late for Transfiguration.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione was worried, she hadn't seen Harry since Potions and that was right before lunch, he wasn't in Transfiguration or Defense Against the Dark Arts. She remembered that Snape wanted to speak to him, and so wasn't really expecting to see him until transfiguration but he wasn't there, so she though he would coming running in late. Someone had come in late, but it wasn't Harry it was Malfoy, Professor McGonagal was about to take points away when a note from Professor Snape appeared in her hand. The class went smoothly and no one but she seemed to realize that Harry wasn't there.
Then Defense Against the Dark Arts came around and other people began to notice that Harry wasn't there, the teach was about to question everyone when a note appeared in his hand. After the teacher had read the note he began class, Hermione then began to wonder what the note had said. She was going to get to the bottom of this mystery so help her god. Ron had asked her if she knew where Harry had run off seeing as how he told her more stuff then he did Ron. She told him the truth, she has know idea where he was.
Now she and Ron were walking back to the common room, it was their free period. She was about to tell the portrait the password when the portrait swung open to show one Harry Potter. Now Hermione was in her mother hen mode. "Harold James Potter where have you been? You have missed two classes and have worried us sick." Harry backed up a little by the tone of her voice.
"I'm sorry, 'Moine, but I was told to got to sleep because I looked like I would fall over any second, so that's what I did. I came back to the common room and took a nap on the couch, I just woke up and was going to, um, find you guys." Harry said.
"Who told you to go lay down?" Hermione asked.
"Um, Promfry, yeah, Promfry told me to lay down." Harry said, and Hermione's narrowed in suspicion.
"When did you go see Madam Promfry?" she asked.
"Um, after I talked to Snape." Harry said nervously, he hated to lie to his friends but he couldn't tell them Snape had told him to go lay down because he was worried about him, they didn't know that he was Harry's godfather, and Snape had a reputation to keep.
"Why did you go see her?" Hermione asked.
"Well, because I had a headache, and you know how I get when I have a headache. I didn't think you wanted to deal with me so I went to see if she would give me a potion for it. That was when she told me to lay down." Harry said and Hermione's eyes softened and Harry released his breath that he didn't even know he was holding.
"Oh, so that is what the notes said." Hermione said and Harry looked confused. "Professor McGonagal and Professor Lupin got a note, I'm guessing that the notes were saying that you were told by her to sleep and that you would be missing class." she explained.
"Oh" Harry said and silently thanked Snape for sending the teachers a note. Suddenly a scared looking first year came up to them.
"Um, Harry, Professor Snape told me to tell you that you will serve your detention after dinner tonight and to meet him in his room." the boy said.
"Oh, um, thank you." Harry said.
"What detention?" Ron asked.
"Oh, um Snape told me that I would have detention for not paying attention in class." Harry said.
"Oh, okay." Ron said and walked to their couch in front of the fire, "Lets play chess." he said as he started to set up the board.
"Well, actually, I'm kind of hungry, I was going to see if I could sneak down to the kitchen and see if Dobby would let me have a small snack." Harry said.
"I would assume you'd be hungry, you did skip lunch after all." Hermione said, "And me and Ron have homework to do." she said and pulled a transfiguration book from her bag. Harry laughed when he heard Ron groan and walked out of the common room and headed down to the kitchen.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco was in the kitchen trying to convince the house elves to give him a little snack before dinner, he hadn't eaten lunch, only pushed it around his plate before he got up ant went to talk to his god father. He was having little luck convincing the stupid creatures, now don't get the wrong idea he didn't hate house elves, nor did he mistreat them, it was just that when he was hungry we was never in the best of moods. He didn't here the door behind him open when he sat down on the floor and began to pout, so of course he jumped when he heard someone laugh. He turned around and felt his heart stop. There in front to him was the beautiful angel known as Harry.
The house elves stopped what they were doing and looked at Harry. "What can wes do for you master Harry sirs?" Wenky asked.
"I just came to see if I could get a little snack." Harry said.
"Don't even bother Harry, that is what I'm here to do and they won't give me a snack." Draco muttered and Harry looked at him wide eyed. "What?" he asked.
"You said my name." Harry said and Draco silently cussed when he realized that he had indeed slipped and called him by his name. Harry suddenly smiled "It sounded nice say it again please Draco."
"Of course Harry." Draco said smiling, he didn't care if Malfoys didn't smile; he couldn't help it Harry's smiles were contagious.
"Wow," Harry said.
"What?" Draco asked.
"You look good when you smile, you should smile more." Harry said then blushed when he realized what he said. Draco moved closer to Harry and whispered in his ear.
"I'll only smile for you" he said, then pulled Harry into a hug right when the door opened.
