A/N: Of course, I own nothing. Harry, Draco, Hogwarts and
everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling. I'm simply playing around
with what I feel ought to have happened =]
Feel free to R&R

Oh, and if anyone was following Forbidden Love, please know I am officially working on it once more! Studies/boyfriend/lots of things have prevented me from even breathing. So yes, I'm back =D
"What have we got
next?" Ron asked Hermione around a mouthful of steak. It was lunch
time in the Great Hall, and Harry and Ron had just come from a double
lesson of Divination with Firenze; they definitely preferred his
classes to Trelawney's.
"I have Ancient Runes. I think
you two are free until Potions this afternoon," Hermione replied,
consulting her timetable.
"Awesome! Harry, how about we go visit
Hagrid for a while?" turning to his friend, Ron grinned
happily.
"No, you can't do that, Ron! He's got a class.
Remember, he is a teacher now too!" Hermione told him
sternly, gathering up her books and nibbling on her half-eaten slice
of toast.
As she left, Ron
frowned- evidently unhappy. He did have a mammoth report to do for
Divination, but that was hardly an appealing way to spend a free
period. Glancing over at Harry, he gave him a quizzical look.
"What?"
Harry asked defensively, almost nervously.
"Well, what are we
going to do during our free period?" asked Ron pointedly. Had Harry
been oblivious to the conversation he'd just had with Hermione?
"I
dunno… I might head off to the library. What did Snape say we were
making today? A love potion?" furrowing his brow, Harry's eyes
flickered briefly to the Slytherin table.
"Yeah, a really weak
one to start with I think he said. Mind if I come with you to the
library? I might start on the Divination thing," Ron said,
gathering up his bag and books.
"I… I'd prefer to be alone,"
Harry blushed, and before Ron could say anything else, was on his
feet and heading out of the Hall.
Scanning down the list of ingredients for Amortentia, Harry's heart sank when he saw unicorn blood was a key ingredient. That certainly wasn't stored in the potions cupboard for students' use. The most powerful love potion in the world would have to wait for now. He scanned another, less powerful potion called Love Elixir. The ingredients were all available to students, so Harry quickly jotted them down and tucked the parchment into the inside pocket of his robes. The potion promised to last for six hours, which was plenty of time for him to take full advantage of his intended lover: Draco Malfoy.
Hurrying down the stone
steps into the dungeons, Harry's stomach contracted when he saw Ron
leaning against the wall. Turning down a corridor to his right, Harry
hurried off to find a toilet. Ron called something after him, but he
ignored it and waited just inside the boys bathroom door.
Harry
froze when the door was flung open and a silver-haired boy rushed
into a cubicle and latched it shut. He knew it was Draco, and he
wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, but when low moans
started to sound from Draco's cubicle, Harry stood rooted to the
spot. What was he doing in there? Well, seeing as his pants and
underwear were around his ankles, and clearly visible under the door
Harry was sure he knew; he was guilty of it himself. But in a toilet
where anyone might be lurking? More moaning, this time louder and
Harry could have sworn he heard Draco utter a name in quiet
pleasure.
Convincing himself he had imagined it, Harry started to
pry the door open quietly to make his escape, however Draco
distracted him again.
"Harry…"
His
stomach lurched and his heart leapt. Had Draco caught him? Turning
his head slowly, Harry looked over his shoulder. The door remained
closed and locked, and Draco's pants were still at his feet. What
had that been about then? Harry didn't dare to hope, but made his
hasty escape when Draco's moans became audible again.
Checking his parchment
was still in his pocket, Harry joined the line of Slytherin's and
Gryffindor's lining up outside the potions room. Ron was distracted
with Dean and Seamus, much to Harry's relief. Hermione on the other
hand made her way to him and started chatting happily about what
she'd learnt in Ancient Runes.
"Listen, Hermione do you think
you could keep Ron distracted this lesson? I don't particularly
want him to be asking me… questions," Harry asked urgently,
grabbing her wrist to get her attention.
"I, uh… sure, Harry,"
she said with a smile. Hermione assumed Harry was planning to make
his love potion to give to Ginny, therefore wouldn't want her older
brother seeing everything he was doing.
Muttering a word of thanks, Harry saw Draco Malfoy sweeping down the corridor leading from the bathroom. Harry glanced at his crotch and felt a funny spasm in his stomach when he noticed the white stain on Draco's pants. Harry was focused to fixedly on the stain that he didn't realize he and Draco were the only two left standing outside the classroom. Snape was standing in the doorway, and had said something to them, but Harry hadn't heard it. Only when Draco hurried into the room did Harry snap out of his trance and hurry in after him.
After Snape instructed them to make a simple, weak love potion, Harry pulled out his piece of parchment and hurried to the cupboard to retrieve the ingredients.
Moondew
500ml of
Dragon's Blood
Three Lacewing Flies
10 grams of Pixie
Dust
2ml Phoenix tears (he happened to have saved a few of
Fawkes' tears)
Chopped Valerian Root
Strand of brewers
hair (Harry plucked a few from his scalp)
Harry was carefully
adding the pixie dust when Hermione came over to investigate what he
was up to. She glanced into the cauldron and saw the potion was a
pale lilac colour; the potion they were making was supposed to be
scarlet.
"Um… Harry? How did you get it that colour?" she
asked, glancing down at the ingredients he was yet to add to the
potion. Picking up the goblet of dragon's blood, she frowned at the
ingredients Snape had put up on the board.
"Harry… are you
brewing Love Elixir?" she asked breathlessly.
"Yes, I am. Why,
Hermione?" Harry said distractedly, taking the goblet from her and
pouring it into the cauldron. He couldn't afford to be distracted
now, as the Phoenix tears had to be added at the most precise time
while the potion was being stirred anti-clockwise.
"Snape won't be
happy, you know…" she said hastily. "You haven't made the
potion you were supposed to,"
"Hermione, look under the
table," Harry said impatiently, timing on his watch.
Glancing
under the desk, Hermione saw Harry's old cauldron which contained
the potion they had be set to make this lesson. Satisfied, she went
back to her desk and copied down the recipe from the board.
A few hours later, the
deep purple potion sealed tightly in a flask, Harry made his way down
to the kitchens. How was he to know where Draco was sitting?
Consulting an elf, Harry hesitantly poured the potion into a golden
goblet about half way down the middle of the Slytherin house table.
If this didn't work, he'd just hide in the common room until the
potion wore off whoever might drink it.
Sighing, Harry bade the
house-elves goodnight and made his way into the Great Hall just in
time for dinner. As he sat and chatted to Ron and Hermione, he
couldn't help but constantly glance over to where Draco was
sitting. It looked pretty close to where the elves had directed him
down in the kitchen; one or two people off at the most.
Eating in silence,
Harry contributed very little to Ron and Hermione's debate about
house-elves. Ron turned to Harry for support, but he merely gazed at
Ron and dropped his eyes to his untouched food. Harry wanted to tell
them he was deeply attracted to Draco, but he doubted they would
understand; especially Ron. Given the rivalry between his and Draco's
fathers, the bitterness for the Malfoy's had been passed on to Ron.
Hermione might be a bit more understanding, but Harry suspected she
would tell Ron eventually, so he kept his feelings of lust to
himself.
It wasn't that Draco as a person was particularly
appealing, but every time Harry thought of his face or his chest,
he'd instantly feel himself hardening. And, well, given the chance
maybe Draco wasn't so bad after all. One could hope as much.
Harry
lingered in the Hall long after dessert had been cleared from their
plates and Ron had headed up to the common room with Hermione. Harry
had muttered something about asking McGonogall for an extension on
their Transfiguration essay and told them to go along without him.
However, he had finished his essay three nights ago and had no
intention of seeking out his teacher. Instead, he fixed his eyes on
the back of Draco Malfoy's head. He and Goyle were hanging behind,
their heads close together. After what felt like an hour, Goyle
finally got to his feet and lumbered out of the Hall. There were a
few second year Hufflepuffs still sitting at their table, gossiping
about God-knows-what- but apart from them, Harry and Draco were the
only two remaining in the huge room.
Harry quickly went back to
writing his report for Firenze; The position of Jupiter in
comparison to Neptune means… was about as far as he had gotten
in the 40 minutes he'd been waiting. He'd written three more
lines when he saw Draco get up out of the corner of his
eye.
Determined to appear uninterested, Harry continued to scratch
away at the parchment with his quill. Only when he looked properly at
it did he realize it was out of ink. Blushing, Harry quickly dipped
his quill into his ink pot and was trying to remember what he had
just written when Draco spoke to him.
"Potter, what're you
still doing in here?" Draco sneered, glancing briefly at Harry's
report on Jupiter and Neptune.
"Homework, Malfoy. What's it to
you?" Harry retorted, attempting to sound bitter and cold.
Draco
laughed, but his eyes warmed as he spoke, "You can't think of
anything better to do with your time on a frosty night? The Weasley
girl is failing to keep your balls warm?"
"I… what did you
say?" stunned, Harry froze. His heart was attempting to leave his
chest; he was amazed Draco couldn't see it battering his ribs
through his robes.
Lowering his voice to a purr, Draco simply
replied, "Follow me…"
Want more? Just say so XD
