Title - Unlikely love

Type- Comedy/romance (Harry and Draco!)

Chapter 1

Harry Potter walked through the dimly lit corridor to his potions lesson with his two best friends, Ron and Hermione; ready to embrace the soul crushing glares from a certain teacher.

"I mean of all the houses they could choose from they decided to pair us up with Slytherin- this subject is depressing enough, having Snape as teacher and its unlikely to get any better having darling Draco daddy's boy who wants our lives to be a living nearly as much as the greasy rat does."

Ron Weasley moaned for the one hundred and twelfth time. "If I had my way Snape wouldn't be teaching in the dungeons he'd be living in them and Draco would also stay with him - so Snape wouldn't feel too lonely " -

"Ron! Please for Gryffindors sake -shut up! it was bad enough the first time never mind the hundredth time. You do know you're not the only one who has a hard time dealing with them? Harry has it worse than anyone and you don't hear him complaining every few seconds."

Hermione said almost close to having a mental break down. Ron backed down straight away not really feeling in the mood to have a long lecture by Hermione and walked along muttering to himself.

Harry walked along either side of them clearly in deep thought. He hadn't slept very well after waking up in the night yelling after a horrendous dream. Thinking about it even then sent shivers down his spine….

{Flash back}

Harry groaned as settled down to bed. His head was killing him – he thought that he'd never fall asleep.

"Blast that little stuck up ignorant, suck up to every teacher he meets, prince of vainness, daddy's boy, little Mr neat and organized, my worst enemy Draco Malfoy. HE deliberately set off an explosion in potion just, so I could get detention from Snape. That little– ouch!"

He banged his head off his bed pane.

"Great! something else to help my head feel better it already past midnight." He repeatedly tossed and turned and was soon fast asleep….

'Harry there you are I missed you.' Harry turned around beaming at Draco and passionately kissing him after saying 'And so did I Draco.'

… Harry woke up screaming "no no no! I don't love you I don't love him!"

"You alright mate?" Ron Weasley's head pocked around the corner. "What? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine – sorry just a nightmare".

{end of flash back}

"Harry, Harry we've to go into the class now – please move." He hadn't realised Hermione had been poking him.

"Oh! right – yeah- sorry." He said and walked inside. He went off to find his seat – and as usual he was sitting next to Malfoy "Yay" He said sarcastically under his breath.

"What's that Potter? Talking to yourself again? I'm not surprised." Draco had swooped down beside him with his usual sneer on his face.

"Shut up Malfoy."

And to Draco's surprise Harry didn't even glance at him. 'This isn't right. I usually get a better reaction than this. Well he can't keep it up much longer for I am the master of tormenting Harry and will not let myself down.' Draco thought menacingly, but no matter how hard he tried Harry hardly seemed to notice him – it was as if Harry didn't want to and to Draco's utter shock it upset him slightly.

Harry however was impressed with himself slightly, though he knew that he would never look at Malfoy the same ever again. Even the potions teacher was surprised by the sudden change over his most hated pupil and could see how hard his godson was trying to provoke him. 'Hmm this just won't do.' Snape decided to help Draco, after all wasn't that what he was supposed to do? He strutted over to the two.

"Potter look at your partner when working with him – five points from Gryffindor for ignorant and rude behaviour towards fellow pupils." And with that Snape strode away seretly pleased with himself. Harry was seething with anger and hate.

"Tut tut Potter getting into trouble yet again, such a shame. you'd be only just lucky to leave this classroom without a detention."

Harry still didn't look at Draco and Draco lost patience. "Look at me when I talk to you."

Harrys head snapped up. "What is Malfoy? Anymore remarks anymore torments?" Harry said, he still wasn't looking at Draco but over his shoulder. Draco jumped back slightly when he heard the venom in Harrys voice. Intimidated he looked back to his work. Harry felt like he could explode with anger.

"Right pack up everyone. For next lesson write about the properties of unicorn hair." Snape' s voice drawled. Harry stuffed his books into his bags and marched off to the Gryffindor common room with Hermione and Ron close behind.

"Harry! Calm down! please!" Hermione said once they had reached the common room. "What's wrong."

"What's wrong? That little snake down stairs that's what's wrong!" Harry said exasperated.

"Isn't it a little obvious? Hermione." Ron said sarcastically. "Well come on Harry just ignore him that's what I do with Ron sometimes" –

"Oy!"

This caused Harry to laugh and slowly he felt his anger ebbing away. "Well I'm starving so you want to come down for dinner?" Ron said staring longingly at the door.

"You guys go ahead – I need to catch up on some sleep."


Weeks or maybe even months went by and Harry continued his strange behaviour towards Draco.

Hermione and Ron were just as confused as everyone else, yet people still asked them what was wrong with their friend, but no one was more confused than Draco Malfoy. He somehow felt extremely hurt and insulted by the way Harry was treating him. Did Harry really hate him so much that he couldn't look at him – He thought that maybe it was something to do with his appearance? Draco wondered why he felt so bothered about it, he kept thinking of reasons but the one he avoided at all costs was love.

Harry too was finding it awkward as well why could he not even glance at Draco? Was it?, could it? - no of course not Harry was not in love with anyone least of all Draco Malfoy.
