Chapter 1

Sometimes when you first meet somebody you get a feeling deep inside and you know, in that moment, that you won't like them. You may have only known them for a few minutes, or you may not have even spoken to them yet, but once that feeling appears in your gut there is no taking it back.

Harry and Draco lives first became tangled together not long after Harry's 9th birthday and as soon as they met Harry could tell he didn't like the other boy. Draco stood next to his parents looking as though he wished he was somewhere else instead of being forced to spend time with his parent's friends and their son. When their parents finally introduced the two boys to each other Draco simply gave Harry a dismissive nod before turning away again. Surprised at the boys rudeness Harry could only manage to stumble out a polite, but brief, hello as he turned to look at his parents who seemed completely oblivious to Draco's behaviour. Lily Potter bent down so she was level with her son
"Why don't you and Draco go play whilst mummy and daddy talk with the Malfoys'?" she asked him with a gentle but firm voice, her smile never leaving her face as she and her husband left the room with Mr and Mrs Malfoy. Harry sighed, he knew it wasn't really a question so he slowly gathered up his stuffed wolf before dragging his feet the short distance over to Draco. Once he reached the slightly smaller boy he stopped and looked at him expectantly, this was his house after all.
"So do you want to go and play something? I'm great at exploding snap!" Harry asked with a shy but proud grin. He spent many evenings playing with his uncles and he almost always won. Instead of answering Draco simply rolled his eyes then turned on his heel and walked towards the hallway leaving Harry frozen in his place unsure of what to do. Quickly realising he didn't want to be left alone in a house this size he ran after Draco, his footsteps echoing loudly around him. 'What is wrong with that boy?' he thought 'why would he leave me, practically a stranger, alone in his house?'

As his thoughts trailed off Harry noticed a flash of movement out of the corner of his eye when Draco started walking down another long corridor. Knowing he was close Harry sped up in an attempt to catch up with him. 'Why won't he stop? He must know I'm following him, I've hardly been quite.' Sighing Harry turned the last corner and almost walked straight into Draco who was stood with his arms crossed in the middle of the hallway, a sneer etched on his lips.
"What do you want Potter? Do you have to keep following me around like some lost dog? It really is pathetic" he snapped at Harry who was standing with his mouth hanging open. 'what could he say to that?' before Harry had a chance to even gather his thoughts enough to start to think up a response to that Draco was already starting to speak again, his smirk growing as he spoke
"and anyway why are you carrying that filthy stuffed thing around with you? You look like a baby." Without thinking Harry instinctively gathered the stuffed wolf closer to his chest and squeezed it tightly, willing himself not to cry. He looked down at said wolf, thinking about how his uncle had given him it when he had explained his 'condition' to a 7 year old Harry. He couldn't let himself cry. He couldn't show any weakness in front of the arrogant boy. Taking a step backwards, Harry tried to form words but nothing would come out. His mind was completely blank so he did the only thing he could think of, he turned and ran. Turning in the direction he had come from he set off hoping he didn't get lost.

After only getting lost twice Harry reached the safety of his parents sooner than he had expected and flung himself at his mother as soon as she was within his reach.
"Hey little man, what's wrong?" James asked as Harry buried his face in Lily's neck finally giving in to the tears he had been holding back. Sniffing slightly Harry looked up at his father's concerned face with shining eyes. "D-Draco is mean. Don't make me play with him. Please mum. He wouldn't play with me and then he said I was a baby and he was mean about my wolf and…" Harry spoke quickly as he tried to explain what had happened and catch his breath at the same time. Whilst he was telling his story Narcissa, who had been sitting quietly next to her husband watching the scene unfold, stood and walked out of the room and into the hallway to call for Draco. When she re-entered the room Harry was nearing the end of his story.
"…and I had to find my own way back, this place is really big, I got lost two times!" by the time he had finished the story the tears had stopped falling and his breathing began to return to normal.

Draco entered the room and went to stand quietly besides his mother before smiling sweetly at everyone in the room.
"Yes mother, what can I do for you?" he questioned innocently
"Harry here," Narcissa paused to indicate to Harry who was sat half in Lily's lap curled protectively around his wolf. With a blank face she turned back to Draco and continued speaking "says that you were being mean to him. You should know better than to treat our house guests poorly, what do you have to say for yourself?"
"I'm sorry mother I didn't mean to come across as rude. I was only asking why he carried that toy around with him. I didn't expect him to react so extremely." Draco answered before turning to face Harry with a slight sneer which Harry knew only he would be able to see
"I am sorry Harry if I have hurt you in any way, please forgive me." He asked innocently. Knowing it would be easier to just forgive Draco, Harry nodded sharply then hid his face back in Lily's neck. When he looked back up the adults were conversing again and Draco was standing straight with hands neatly folded behind his back smirking at Harry. After a moment Draco noticed he was being watched and stuck is tongue out at Harry so quickly he almost missed it. It was the first time Harry had seen Draco act even remotely childish and he didn't know how to react to it. He settled for pressing his face back in his mother's neck, breathing deeply and finding comfort in the scent of her perfume. He just wanted to go home. 'I hope I never have to see Draco again!' he thought before slowly falling asleep curled up in Lily's lap.
