Harry was making a third lap around the quidditch pitch as he saw out of the eye Draco coming up behind him. Draco sneered at Harry as he passed making Harry's hear skip a beat. But before Harry could enjoy the moment any longer he saw it, a small and fleet glint of gold. Hovering just over the highest ring on the Gryffindor side. Harry flattened himself against his broom and took off.

"Potter's spotted the snitch!" Shouted Justin to the crowd.

Harry came up on the pole and barrel rolled over the hoop as he grabbed the snitch. The crowd exploded with applauds as Harry descended to the ground. As soon as Harry stepped off his broom he was met with an entire stadium of people congratulating him. His teammates carried him out of the pitch and into the locker rooms.

After changing back into his school robes Harry walked from the locker rooms to the castle and in for lunch. Harry ate his lunch fast and almost ran out of the great hall. For some reason he just didn't want to be around people; even if he did just beat Slytherin.

Harry went outside and found a nice shady spot under a tree next to the lake. Lying down on the grass, Harry rubbed his eyes. And next thing he knew he was walking hand in hand with Draco from the castle to Hogs Meade.

"Oye Harry where were you all afternoon?" Ron called from across the lawn as he walked toward Harry.

Harry jumped and looked around, it was almost dark and Ron and Hermione were walking toward him.

"Oh, I must have fallen asleep." Said Harry through a yawn.

"Well get up, dinners being served." Hermione said grabbing Harry's arm and trying to lift.

Harry groggily got up and walked to the Great Hall. Harry looked over at the Slytherin table and saw Draco looking at him with what Harry thought was-no it couldn't be…a smile? Not a sneer or a smirk but a genuine smile, or at least until he saw Harry looking.

'I can't take it any more' Harry thought.

Harry ate dinner in almost complete silence until Hermione spoke up.

"Harry what's wrong? You seem oddly quiet." Hermione commented looking genuinely concerned.

"Nothing." Harry lied. In fact he had been deeply in thought the entire time.

'I can't do it…But I have to' Harry found himself thinking this over and over.

The moment Harry swallowed his last bite he was up and leaving. He glanced to the Slytherin table where he noticed Draco leaving the table. Oddly he wasn't surrounded by his usual group of people. Actually he was completely alone.

'Perfect' Harry thought.

Harry slowed his pace until he was just behind Draco. Staying far enough away to not raise suspicion, Harry followed Draco until they were in a deserted corridor. Harry ran up right behind Draco and pulled him into a deserted classroom.

"What is the meaning of this Potter?" Draco exclaimed.

Harry didn't respond, he just pushed Draco against a wall. Grabbing Draco's fighting arms Harry kissed him. Draco just stood there dumbfounded. As Harry pulled away to run Draco grabbed the back of his neck and pulled Harry back in for another kiss. Harry pulled away for a second time and they just stood there so close they were sharing the same air. Harry had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"What took you so long?" Draco said in a soft voice.

"Heh…" Was all Harry could say, his mind was racing.

"Meet me next to the Quidditch pitch tomorrow at midnight." Draco said as the two were walking out of the room careful not to let anyone see them together. The corridor was still completely empty. Draco grabbed Harry's arm as he was walking away and pulled him in for one last kiss. and the two went their separate ways.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day Harry awoke, dressed, and met Ron and Hermione for breakfast.

"What are you so happy about Harry? We have double potions with the Slytherins today." Ron said miserably.

"What?...Oh I, uh, had a nice dream is all." Harry said as he took a rather large bite of toast.

Harry, Ron and Hermione walked down the stone steps to the dungeon. The three of them were some of the last ones to get there so naturally Draco decided to try to start something with Harry.

"Hey, Potter, how's your mummy?" Draco called out so everyone could here.

"Shut up Malfoy." Harry said turning. He was so confused this wasn't the Draco he was dealing with last night.

"Don't turn away when I'm talking to you!" Shouted Draco grabbing Harry's arm and spinning him around.

"Hey don't touch him." Ron said stepping in between them.

"No one was talking to you Weaslebee." Draco spat at Ron.

Harry looked down in his palm where Draco had grabbed him and saw a piece of parchment. Harry slipped it into his pocket deciding there were too many people around to try to read it now.

The Door swung open and the class filed in. Harry taking a seat next to Ron and Hermione at the back of class as usual.

The door slammed and the students fell silent immediately.

"Today you will finish your Polyjuice potion and turn it in at the end of class." Said Snape in his clod voice," The instructions are on the board, you have two hours. Begin" with a wave of his wand the instructions appeared on the board.

The class went to the cupboard to get the last of their supplies and their cauldrons. As Harry was stirring his potion he chanced a glance over to Draco. He was finely chopping something but Harry dropped his glance before he could tell what it was.

At the end of class Harry put a small portion of his Polyjuice Potion into a vile and turned it in to the front of class. Back at his seat Harry waved his wand and muttered "Scourgify" to clean up his couldron. The three of them climbed the steps eager to get lunch.

While finishing his lunch Harry pulled the piece of parchment out of his pocket and opened it.

'Don't forget…midnight.' is all it said. Harry smiled reminiscing on last night.

"What's that there?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing, just a note from a while ago." Harry said hurridly shoving it back into his pocket.

The rest of the day crept by. By the time dinner had gotten around Harry felt as if a week had gone by.

Harry couldn't eat so he left back to the common room hoping to get some homework done. But he had given up on doing homework after rereading the same page ten times and not remembering a word of it. So Harry contented himself with staring into the golden-yellow flames in the fireplace.

'Maybe I shouldn't go…what if it's a trick?...' insecurity after insecurity went through his head.

"Harry aren't you coming to bed?" Ron asked stretching.

"No I still have a lot of homework to do. I will be up later." Harry said pulling his gaze from the fire finally.

At 11:45 Harry snuck up to his dorm and grabbed James's invisibility cloak and went back down stairs. He walked across the common room towards the portrait hole pulling the cloak over him. Walking the corridors he knew so well Harry was on the grounds in no time. However as he approached the pitch he realized that Draco never told him where exactly to meet him.

So Harry did the only thing he could, he walked around the outside of the pitch until he finally saw a slim figure standing in the shadows.

"Draco?" Harry said in a loud whisper.

"Harry?" Draco said confused.

"Oh…sorry." Harry said pulling the invisibility cloak off.

"I'm glad you came." Draco whispered pulling Harry into a soft kiss. Within seconds their tongues were battling a small war with no sound but the swoosh of the wind and the occasional moan. Draco's hands slowly moved down Harry's back, under his shirt, and slowly back up his back. Harry pulled away.

"Draco I'm sorry but I can't." Harry sighed resting his head on Draco's shoulder.

"It's okay." Draco said putting his hands on Harry's hips and pushing away just hard enough until Harry was looking him in the eye, "Why don't we go for a walk?"

"That sounds nice." Harry said taking Draco's hand. And so the two set out towards the lake.

After the third lap around the lake Harry looked down at his watch.

"Ugh…" Harry moaned, "it's already 3:30."

"So?"

"So I do need to sleep tonight."

"Fine. But only because I love you." Draco said grinning. He gave Harry a deep kiss and walked him back to the castle.

"Meet me here tomorrow night, okay?" Harry said holding on to Draco's arm as tight as he could.

"Okay but only if we can stay out later."

"Well, I dunno… I guess it is a Saturday." Harry said playfully with a smile.

"Good night." Draco said placing a kiss on Harry's lips.

"Good night." Said Harry.

And the two went their separate ways…for now.
