AN: This is for the harry potter challenge forums 100 times challenge! The first two chapters/times start off short because I was going to just write a bunch of drabbles but then a story began to evolve out of it so, they get progressively longer as it goes on, not oppressively long in fact still rather short by definition but longer than drabbles. =P

PLEASE R&R, I like reviews. =)

Draco Malfoy was probably one of the few in his house that had ever truly laughed. Sure all of them had forced a false laugh or even chuckled at the appropriate times but very few of them had laughed simply to laugh. No the Slytherins we're always portrayed to be against everything that laughing stood for, joy, hope, amusement and even as Draco was discovering love, although he could never admit it. The one person who had broken through his shell and he had to keep it silent. The one person who had fought through the insults, the curses, and the tears, Draco sighed peering out the window. He hated this, sitting here in the classroom was torture when all he wanted was to be free. To laugh, much like he had the first time Ron asked him out.
