Chapter 1-Realizing the Truth

Harry Potter and his two friends, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, made their way to Platform 9 3/4 for the start of their sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Voldermort was still on the rise and of course people were scared. Who wouldn't be? During the summer Harry kept getting owls saying that they were sorry for not believing Harry the previous year. Harry appreciated them, but after awhile they started getting annoying really.

"Hurry up guys! The the train's going to leave in 5 minutes!" Hermione yelled as she raced to the platform.

"We're coming!" Ron yelled back.

They then reached the barrier and ran through with a quick check for any muggles that may be watching. When they reached the other side the sound of a high whistling reached their ears.

"Come on!" Hermione screamed.

They ran to the train and quickly got on. As soon as Harry got his last foot on the train it started moving. Harry screamed. He wasn't expecting the sudden movement and let go of the railing. His friends were already walking down the isle so they didn't see. Harry fell backwards and was about to fall out of the train when someone quickly grabbed his hand. Harry's head was just about to hit the metal tracks when he was gracefully pulled up and on to his feet. He looked up expecting to see one of his friends. Instead he looked up to find see the most unlikely person to be his saviour. Draco Malfoy. Draco dusted himself off before looking back at Harry.

"Had a bit of a clumbsy moment now didn't we Potter?" Draco sneered.

"W-why did you s-save me?" Harry questioned.

"Don't ask me why. I just reacted on instinct," Draco stated.

"Well thank you. It was nice of you to do it. You saved my life and I owe you big. And here I thought that the Malfoy instinct would be to let me die," Harry chuckled.

Draco couldn't stop himself. He tried but he couldn't stop himself from laughing too. Harry looked at him and he immediatly stopped. He straightened and said,

"Well just be lucky I came by Potter. You might not be so lucky next time."

With that he walked away leaving a baffled Harry behind.

Harry walked down and saw Ron and Hermione. He was really mad at them right now. They didn't even bother to wait for him. They didn't even realize that he almost died.

"Harry!" Ron exclaimed.

Ron and Hermione dashed up to him and hurtled him with questions.

"Where were you?"

"What happened?"

"Where'd you go?"

"Are you ok?"

"Did you get hurt?"

"Did Malfoy-"

Ron was cut off by Harry.

"Malfoy did nothing but save my life unlike you two!" Harry yelled.

"Harry, what are you talking about?" Hermione asked.

"When I was getting on the train it started. I wasn't expecting it so I let go of the railing and was about to fall when Malfoy rescued me. If it weren't for him I wouldn't be here. My worst enemy saved me instead of my two best friends.Strange, don't you think?" Harry said.

"Oh my God Harry! I'm so sorry! Are you ok?" Hermione asked.

"Are you ok mate?" Ron inquired.

"I'm fine. A little mad, but fine," Harry replied.

Hermione broke down in tears.

"Hermione, are you ok?" Harry asked.

"Oh Harry!" Hermione threw her arms around Harry in a tight embrace.

"I'm so sorry," Hermione sobbed.

"It's okay. I'm fine," Harry stated.

Hermione let go of Harry and looked him in the eyes. Harry saw that her eyes were bloodshot and she still had tears streaming down her face.

"I'm just such a horrible friend Harry," Hermione said.

"No you're not," Harry replied.

"Harry's right Hermione. Don't beat yourself up about it," Ron commented.

"Okay. Ron, we need to go find Malfoy," Hermione said.

"What?Why?!" Ron asked.

"To thank him of course," Hermione replied.

"Ok," Ron said dully.

"I'll go too," Harry volunteered.

"Ok. Let's go," Hermione said.

So the three friends set out to go find the blonde Slytherin. They searched for about 5 minutes before discovering him in a compartment in the back, seated alone.

Hermione opened the door and stepped in, followed secondly by Ron and last by Harry. Hermione and Ron sat down acrossed from Draco and Harry sat next to him.

Draco stared at them as if they were nuts or something.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Draco inquired suspiciously.

"We came to thank you for what you did for Harry," Hermione replied simply.

He still looked at them as if they were crazy. He turned to look at Harry and the raven haired boy just grinned.

"Yeah. Even though I hate you, you saved Harry and that earns some respect from me," Ron commented.

"I don't need your thanks," Draco sneered.

"Too bad. You're getting it anyway," Hermione said.

"Like I told Potter, I just reacted on instinct. I have no feelings for him but hate," Draco replied.

"It still means alot to us," Hermione stated.

"Yeah. It really does," Ron said.

"Yeah, whatever," Draco said.

"Malfoy?" Ron asked.

"What?" Draco replied.

"Do you know how to play Wizard's Chess?" Ron inquired.

"Yes. Why?" Draco asked.

"Wanna play?" Ron suggested.

"I wouldn't want to embaress you Weasley," Draco snorted.

"You couldn't do that even if you played against me 10 times," Ron countered.

"Bring it," Draco retaliated.

Ron smirked and pulled a small, portable chess board out of his pocket and cast an enlargment spell on it.

The two boys played for 45 minutes before Ron finally declared,

"Check-Mate!"

"No way!" Draco yelled in disbelief.

"Yes way," Ron said.

"You cheated!" Draco cried.

"Huh? In what way?" Ron asked.

"I don't know! You just did some how!" Draco hollered.

"Can't except the fact that you just got beat by a Weasley can you?" Harry said.

"Screw you, Potter," Draco replied.

"Sorry can't do that," Harry said.

"And why not?" Draco inquired.

"Wouldn't you like to know," Harry said, raising an eyebrow.

Draco turned away and blushed. 'I never realized how cute he looks when he blushes.' Harry thought. 'Wait! What the hell! Where did that come from?!' Harry took a deep breath and dismissed the thought. Then he joined in on a conversation about Quidditch With Ron and Draco.

Over the train ride to Hogwarts the four of them became friends. It turned out that Draco could be a pretty okay guy. They started calling eachother by their first names except for when they were joking around.

When they finally got to Hogwarts they all piled into a carriage and chatted the entire way up to the castle.

They soon got out of the carriages and went into the Great Hall. when they entered they departed to go to their own House Tables.

When everyone sat down Dumbledore then explained the rules to the first years and told them about Filch's list of forbidden things in the corridors.

"And finally, there will be a Yule Ball held on the 2nd of December. A muggle group called t.A.T.u will be playing there. If you listen to their songs closely you will find out something about them. Does anyone know what that is?" Dembledore asked.

Hermione raised her hand.

"Yes Ms.Granger?" Dombledore said.

"They are lesbians," Hermione stated.

Many murmers went through the hall as Hemione said this. When all the chatter died down Dumbledore continued.

"Mrs.Granger is correct. These two lovely women are indeed lesbians. Now I trust that you will treat them with respect even though they have a different sexuality than some of you," Dumbledore finished.

Harry looked to Draco and finally realized the truth. 'I like Draco Malfoy. Shit!'
