Harry POV

The first week of school back at Hogwarts breezed by, it didn't feel like anything has really changed. The teachers that were still there were the same, the new professors were just like the other ones, and all my best mates were there for me. The only problem I had was a blonde haired, gray eyed, arrogant ferret who doesn't know when to shut the bloody hell up. With his whining and his boasting and his saying he had the quidditch pitch scheduled for practice when clearly Gryffindor did, I had it signed off myself.

Professor, or headmistress, McGonagall had scheduled the seventh years and the 'eighth years' a treat, a weekend at Hogsmeade. Or, she decided to make it official since some of the students were planning on going through the secret exits throughout the school. Hermione and Ron were going to use the day to go on a 'date'. Luna and Neville said I could tag along, but I knew secretly that they wouldn't want me to interrupt their alone time, especially Neville. This was his first time having a girlfriend and he would be nervous enough then watching what he said with his friend along. So, I decided to spend the day by myself and gather my thoughts.

First I went to the Three Broomsticks with the four. We decided to have a drink of butterbeer before we all went our separate ways. There Ginny and her current boyfriend, Seamus Finnigan spotted us and decided to chat for a while. Then two by two everyone started leaving before I was by myself. I didn't mind it for the most part. I knew I could count on them but it was a tad bit depressing to realize you'd be spending a lot of days by yourself and lonely.

I went into Honeyduke's Sweetshop and couldn't help buying a few things. With all the money I had in savings what was buying a few sweets to satisfy my sweet tooth? I bought licorice wands, sugar quills, Drooble's best blowing gum, and Bertie Bott's every flavored beans. "That's quite a bit of sweets your wasting your knuts and sickles Potter." A voice said in amusement from behind me. I let out a sigh and turned around in annoyance as I picked up my bag of sugared snacks. "Shove off Malfoy." I grumbled as I pushed past him and out the door.

"Can't take a light joke?" Draco shouted after me, no doubt a sneer on his flawless face. That was something that annoyed me too. He was so…Perfect. Never was there a single dainty hair out of place, no bumps or pimples on his pale face and his clothes were straightened and perfect, never were they the least bit wrinkly if he double checked himself in the mornings. Which no doubt he did since he spent so long in the shared bathroom in the mornings. Sometimes some of my roommates and I have to go to another's dorm room to use their bathroom.

"Oh come off of it Potter. You can't even summon a reply?" He asked from behind, following me. I sighed and spun around, looking at him in aggravation. "What the hell do you want Malfoy? Why won't you leave me alone?" I asked as I looked at him, a smirk on his face. He reached in my bag and pulled out one of the sugar quills I had purchased. He took it from its wrapper and stuck the end in his mouth, sucking lightly before taking it out of his mouth. "I'm bored Potter. You amuse me. I thought I would follow you around for a bit and maybe annoy you before I find something to do." He answered shrugging his shoulders. "Dammit Malfoy why can't we just talk for once and you know, maybe actually talk. I know it might be a strange concept of you but I'm getting sick and tired of this constant arguing, especially since the war ended. You think it would have gotten better but I suppose not!" I snapped as I watched him think it over, nibbling on the end of the quill. "Fine, just…Don't tell anyone about this." He decided after a moment as we started walking back to the castle.

For the rest of the day we talked near the Forbidden forest, not wanting to get seen with them actually getting along. It was strange but I think we both needed to get away from everyone and just hang out with someone who was completely different from us, someone who wouldn't really give a shit about what the other said because we both hated each other anyways. I learned that he wasn't that bad of a guy when it came down to it. When we were alone I learned a few things about him and found out he could be a pleasant person if he truly wanted to. Unfortunately, in public he allegedly liked to be a selfish prat. We ate some candy and actually had a grand time until we had to go back. Then, everything changed back to normal which was almost disappointing.

It was the second Monday in the new school year and I barely made it to Muggle Studies in time. I woke up late because Malfoy turned off my alarm, which meant I was the last one in the bathroom to get ready, which meant that I got to breakfast late and barely got to eat. I gave him a sharp look as I entered the classroom, scanning the room for a seat since my normal one was taken. I scowled as I noticed the only empty seat in the class was next to him. I sat down in the seat begrudgingly and tried my best not to look at him or speak to him. I could see him out of the corner of my eye though, and saw the small smirk on his face. That made me want to punch him right in the face.

Draco POV

I smirked as I saw Harry sit next to me. Although he didn't think it was too amusing, I did. I looked at Ms. Kelson as she started to talk but I zoned out. I heard a few of her words while I was staring out the window, not wanting to listen to the teacher. I didn't even want to take this class; I just thought it would be a nice easy blow off class, when I heard the word project my thoughts quickly changed. Who knew you would actually have to do work in Muggle Studies? Who knew that a teacher would assign you a project in the beginning of the school year? I found it to be utterly disappointing. I know I should probably listen to what the project was about but my ears perked up at the word partners, okay, so this would be like any other project. I would blow it off, my partner will do all the work, and we'll get a top letter grade and I won't have to lift a finger.

I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't realize the teacher had said go find your partners. After about five minutes and a hand having to be waved in my face I came back into reality. Harry-I mean, Potter, was in a small argument with the teacher, who, in turn was waving a hand in my face to make me focus. She had been trying to get my attention for a few minutes now, or so I was informed by her. I shook my head as I started listening to what Potter was saying. "There is no one else who can be my partner! All the girls are gone!" He was trying to say in a calm voice to Ms. Kelson. I looked around, he was right; him and I were the only one without partners. Wait a damn minute…Who was supposed to do my share of the work? "Yeah Miss, who is supposed to be my partner?" I asked, trying not to whine, no matter how much I wanted to. "Oh stop complaining Malfoy, not everything is about you!" He grumbled as he started arguing with the teacher again. Everything wasn't about me? I wasn't the one harassing the teacher about getting a partner like he was! I wasn't the one who had everyone in the whole damn wizarding world talking about me. I sat with my teeth clenched together and stared blankly ahead.

"Enough Mr. Potter! I understand that you and Mr. Malfoy do not have partners but just because there are no girls in this class doesn't mean you two won't have partners." Professor said as she looked from Potter to me. It dawned on me right away but he was a bit more thickheaded and it took him a moment or two to finally get it. "Oh no!" We both exclaimed at the same time as we glared at the other. "Oh yes Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy." She said nodding her head slowly as she beamed. "I know it is rare for this to happen but it did and it will be a wonderful experience to see what two males do together in this type of project. I think it would be a fun scenario, don't you?" She asked the two of us, it was a rhetorical question and we both just looked at her with unamused looks on our faces. "Great, well, I hope you two like working together because… This is major for you to pass this class. I'm glad you two chose to be partners for this assignment and not having everything is so black and white with just regular heterosexual couples." She said cheerfully as she called attention back to the class. I blinked and turned to Potter and he just stared at me, I bet we both had crazed looks on our faces.

I had to walk with Potter to our next class; I needed to figure out what the bloody hell I missed when I was too busy staring out the window. "What did I miss in there and why did she basically tell us that we were basically going to be a gay couple for the next however long?" I asked him in a demanding tone and I could clearly tell that he was starting to get rather angry because of the way he clenched and unclenched his hands into fists. I would have let out a laugh or two if I wasn't busy worrying inside of my head. "Well basically we are doing this project, it's a family project. We're going to be a married couple, which, I'm not even sure is legal between the two of us and then we are going to get fake 'jobs' which will basically be doing little things around the school. Oh, and then one of us gets knocked up and we have a child together. Does that narrow it down for you?" He asked me dryly as I stopped in my tracks. What a terrible time I would have, and I had to have a child with him? That wasn't even physically possible between him and Potter. "Well, yes, I understand but I have one demand out of many that will probably come. You will be the wife okay? I will be the husband. You will be the one who ends up pregnant because Draco Malfoy does not have babies because I am not a woman and you are more like a woman then I!" I said with my nose in the air and my head held high. I was proud and would not even pretend to be pregnant, that would be a disgrace to me, my family, and my children in the future.

Potter shook his head and sighed. "We'll see who ends up pregnant." He said so quietly he thought I couldn't hear him, but I did, and I gave him a pointed look. "Wear your best clothes under your school robes; we're all getting married tomorrow." He told me as he patted my shoulder before walking towards our next class, Potions. I stayed in place, stunned. Oh hell this year in Muggle Studies was going to be a pain in the ass.
