Harry stepped back a pace when the snake appeared, startling him. Then, realizing that he was being silly, he stepped forward and said, "Get away from me," only, it came out as a series of hisses.
The snake backed away, but turned its head on a new victim: Draco Malfoy. Draco backed up against a wall as the snake slowly worked it's way towards him, hissing lowly. Harry understood the hisses to mean, "Bite. Bite. BITE!"
Without realizing what he was doing, Harry jumped forward and yelled, "Stop!" at the snake. It stopped, poised to strike, and looked at him. It began to hiss softly.
"I thought you hated this one."
"How would you know that?" Harry asked.
"It is obvious you feel some strong emotion for him. It feels like hate," the snake replied with a shrug of what would be it's shoulders.
"Oh. No, I don't hate him." Harry was surprised to hear himself saying those words. He pondered them for a moment and realized that it wasn't a lie. He didn't hate Draco. But he did feel a strong emotion for him…
The snake slithered up to him and sniffed. "You love him." It was not a question, but Harry nodded anyway, dumbstruck. "Very well. What should I do? Where should I go?"
"You could go live in the Forbidden Forest," Harry whispered.
The snake nodded and slithered away.
Draco was staring at Harry with awe written in every feature of his face. Harry blushed and turned to walk away. He felt Draco grab his arm and stopped, dreading the taunting that was coming.
"Thank you."
Harry whipped around and stared at Draco. "What did you say?"
"I said thank you," Draco repeated, smiling slightly. Not his usual smirk, and actual smile. Harry felt his heart flutter at the sight.
"Oh. You're welcome."
Draco blushed and scuffed his foot on the floor. Then, apparently having decided something, he looked up at Harry and said, "You know… I think Parseltongue is sexy…"
Harry felt his jaw drop, but before he could respond, Draco had closed the distance between them and placed a kiss on his cheek. He began to walk away, pink all over, when Harry grabbed him and roughly shoved their lips together. Draco responded very willingly, kissing back and opening his mouth to let Harry's tongue in.
It was at this point that they both heard a yelp. Breaking away from each other, they looked towards the door and saw Ron and Hermione, both looking very surprised.
Blushing a deep crimson, Harry scratched his head and said, "We had a bit of snake problem…"
