Author's Notes: This is my first EVER Harry/Draco (or Draco/Harry, as I see it.) fanfic. This is still a work in progress and it might be for a while, nut I really hope you guys like it! I'm going to be updating regularly, however - thanks to my slightly pushy, but wonderful Beta. Trust me if anyone will catch HP mistakes, she will. ;P

Summary: Draco never hated Harry. Well, not really. But can he make it up to him? Set in what isn't totally, but slightly AU. In their Seventh Year, Harry and Draco get 'stuck' together, in more ways than one, and grudgingly develop something which resembles a friendship. Can it ever be more? I don't know, but I hope so….and if Hermione and myself have anything to do with it- it will.

Disclaimer: No, I own nothing. Never have, never will. But if there are any um…new characters hint, hint they ARE mine. All mine. Forever. Take that J.K.! 0-:)

Prologue: Not Really

He always felt guilty now. He always had, he guessed. Maybe, but not really.

He wished he didn't, but he did. He didn't mean the hurtful things he said either. Well, not really.

I mean, it wasn't his fault. Not really… if only they hadn't snubbed him. He didn't care about their status. Not really.

They should have taken the time to get to know him. Then maybe…no, he couldn't dwell on that again. Father always seemed to know, but then again his father always knew everything. Didn't he?

He shook his head free of such thoughts, it was silly. Of course his father knew everything. His mother might know more about his loyalties than his father did. She suspected, at least. He smiled. He'd miss his mum this year. He remembered the day he had his robes made at Hogsmeade. That was the day he first met….how did his thought always end there? Still, maybe this year would be different for them. He hoped so, after all this was their last shot. He hoped they'd get over their differences before…it was too late.

Then even Harry couldn't help him. Oh, darn. He could already hear Father's footsteps. "Good luck, Harry." Draco said before leaving the room.

Author's Notes: O.k. I know maybe the last thing was a little confusing, but I just wanted it to be kinda of like he's hoping Harry can save him. Other than that I just hope you like and I'm working on the next ch. Which I hope will be up soon. Wish me luck! Oh, and I also want to thank my Beta, Sabra.Thnx, for fixing what I'm sure will be countless mistakes! I know this was super, super short, but I want to have it reviewed before I really dedicate myself to this, so please review! And yes, I do know the author's notes are longer then the actually story...but they won't be in the futue- cross my heart. lol
