Pansy left. Now Harry and Malfoy were alone in the compartment. People were filing past, descending onto the dark platform. Malfoy moved over to the compartment door and let down the blinds, so that people in the corridor beyond could not peer in. He then bent down over his trunk and opened it again.
Harry peered down over the edge of the luggage rack, his heart pumping a little faster. What had Malfoy wanted to hide from Pansy? Was he about to see the mysterious broken object it was so important to mend?
Dark laughter rang through the compartment and echoed in Harry's ears. Malfoy then stood up straight in a way not unlike a puppet pulled by its master. He turned around, and Harry could see the clear smirk on his face. Harry's stomach sank as he realised just what was going on.
"Oh, yes, Potter. I see you there," Malfoy spat out bitterly. "I heard Goyle's trunk hit you. And I thought I saw something white flash through the air after Zabini came back…"
In an instant, Malfoy pulled out his wand, much quicker than Harry could, and pointed it at him.
"Petrificus Totalus!"
Harry was paralysed, but the shock of the blow sent him crashing to the ground. His nemesis smiled broadly now, and began to look up from head to toe. Uncomfortable under the odd gaze, Harry could do nothing but watch. Then Malfoy leant down to stroke Harry's face. It was a soft and gentle touch, which was everything Malfoy was not. His breath was humid and smelt of wine, which while not entirely unpleasant, was not the most posh of things.
Malfoy brought his lips next to Harry's ear and for a moment just breathed. The whole scene was highly unnerving to Harry, but the worst came when words sputtered out of Malfoy's mouth.
"I know you've been thinking of me every single moment of the day. And I want you to know that I've been thinking about you, too."
He dragged his hand along Harry's body slowly and sensually, stopping every so often to squeeze. Pulling his head back ever so slightly, Malfoy aligned himself so that their noses were touching. The hand that was exploring Harry's person now had firm grim on his ass, causing Harry to blush profusely.
Looking down, Malfoy moved his mouth to ghost the other boy's. For a moment, Harry thought he would press their lips together, but then Malfoy simply smirked again.
"I will not kiss you, 'cause the hardest part of this is leaving you."
All touching ceased and Malfoy stood up to leave. He was opening the door when he turned back, as if remembering something. Pulling the Invisibility Cloak over Harry, he laughed once more.
"See you around, Potter. Or not…"
Once, he looked over his shoulder, but other than that, Malfoy had no second thoughts as he left the compartment
