by weststone

If whatever something turned out in a different way, or lead to different thoughts in their minds, is there a chance that Harry and Draco would eventually became friends? The characters are JK Rowling's property. I am the muggle writer in love with her magic world. I would very much love to know how you feel about these stories,Thanks. :D

1. The rejected friendship

Rejected Friendship

Timeline in HP Book: Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire, Chapter 19

Has had a fight about the Champion thing with Ron, Harry went out for a walk and ran into Draco Malfoy. After the usual sarcasm between these two, Draco found out that Harry sort of lost his best friend Ron.

Then the words went out of Draco's lips before he even realized it.

Draco: "Potter, you chose Wesley to be your friend first year on that stupid train, remember?"

Harry: "Oh, grow up, Malfoy. If only you haven't behaved such an ass."

Harry was astonished by his own words as well, he recalled their first met at Diagon Alley, he didn't dislike Malfoy, actually, he thought that blonde boy vitalized all the atmosphere around and he rather admired it. But then Harry recalled Malfoy's self-approbation, and the injured expression on Ron's face. Harry didn't want to hurt Ron, and Malfoy seemed quite alright on his own, so, once and for all, Harry became friends with Ron and left Malfoy the opposite.

Draco: "Anyway, Potter, hope you will still be alive after The Triwizard Tournament, or I'll be missing a lot of fun".

Yes, Alive. Draco always wanted bad things happen to Harry, especially want to beat and embarrass Harry by himself, that's why he dressed up as a Dementor during Gryffindor's Quidditch match last year. But, Draco never wanted Harry died, he felt that he'll be missing Potter, though he didn't quite understand why, but that won't bother Slytherin's Ice Prince.

Then Malfoy turned back to the castle, leaving the golden boy alone.

Harry wondered why was Malfoy on his own, where were Crabbe and Goyle? They were always on either side of Malfoy, acted as if they were some kind of knights, those two foolish boys. Malfoy didn't seem happy in their company, but then why did Malfoy wanted to be friends with them anyway? Actually, the biggest smiles Harry ever seen on Malfoy's face was because Harry had went through miserable things. And then the grin when Malfoy first offered his hand trying to be friends with Harry nearly four years ago came to Harry's mind, he really missed that lovely grin, especially now that he felt so lonely.

Eventually Harry realized that he has more important things to worry about, he cleared his mind and concentrated on The Triwizard Tournament. He hasn't even got a clue, but somehow, Malfoy's words had cheered him up a little. Harry headed back to the castle, went straight to the library, he had survived Voldemort more than once, he would try his best in The Triwizard Tournament, he will survive!
