When Harry sat down and helped himself to some breakfast Ron looked at him. "What have you done?" he asked.
"Nothing. Why?"
"The last seven years I have woke up next to you, come down to breakfast with you and you haven't had a smile on your face like that."
"Well I no longer have bad nights with nightmares and a killer after me, vowing to kill anyone and everyone to get to me." Harry explained as he started to eat.
Just then Blaise looked up. "Draco? What have you done to your hair?"
Harry looked up and saw that Draco had his hair hanging loose and going into his face instead of styled back.
"Nothing!" he snapped as he sat down. "Want to know why I have done nothing to it? Because I didn't have time."
"Slept in?" Theo asked.
"No. Potter locked the curtains around my bed making me late so I haven't had time. It's his fault."
"You started it Malfoy, wanking in the shower and leaving your cum all over the tiles knowing I was going in the shower after you."
"You chucked me on the bed claiming the one I wanted as yours."
"Honestly." Hermione said, shaking her head even though everyone else was laughing. "Are you both eighteen or eight?"
"No one asked you to speak Granger." Draco snapped.
Blaise stopped laughing. "She is right Draco."
Draco looked up at his friend and groaned. "Are you serious?" he asked, only getting a smirk for an answer.
Severus walked into the Defence Against The Dark Arts classroom and stopped and turned when he reached the front. "You are to sit with who you share your dorm with so I suggest you all move. Now."
Everyone moved and Severus sighed when he saw Ron standing behind Draco who was sitting next to Theo. "Malfoy get up and move."
"Why do I have to move?"
"Are you causing problems? Would you like me to see the Headmistress?"
Draco slammed his books about and stormed over to Harry and dropped into the seat beside him. "This term you will be learning the Patronus Charm and before you interrupt my class Potter I know you can cast a corporeal Patronus but most in this class can not. As you know how you will be helping Mr Malfoy master his, the rest of you will be paired with who you share with and will be helping each other. Now then. Who can tell me what it takes to cast the charm?"
Hermione's arm shot up in the air.
"Someone who isn't Miss Granger."
Harry sighed and lifted his arm.
"Yes?" Severus asked.
"It takes a happy memory, not just any happy memory it has to be a powerful one, you have to allow it to fill you up and you are to focus on that memory, as long as you focus on it and allow it to fill you up the Patronus will be with you until you cancel it."
"Correct. Wands out and choose a happy memory allow it to fill you up and when it has simply say the incantation 'Expecto Patronum'."
Severus started to walk around the room; he wasn't surprised to see Neville's Patronus be nothing more than a silver wisp. Harry cast his and a stag circled the room before coming to stand beside him.
"Sir what is your patronus?" Hermione boldly asked.
"I don't think that is any of your business is it Granger, focus on your own Patronus instead of other people's."
"Sir?" Harry asked.
Severus stopped and looked at Harry. "Yes?"
"What is your happy memory?" he asked quietly, only Draco who was beside him heard and paused to listen.
"The friendship I had with your mother before I ruined it." he answered before moving on.
"Why did you ask my godfather that?" Draco asked Harry after class. "Didn't think he would have a happy memory in his life?"
"Having you for a godson no." Harry answered and walked away.
It was a few days later when Ron who was on his way to the Great Hall to get some food when a door opened and an arm came out dragging him inside. Ron did a little run to get his balance before turning to see Harry stood with his back against the door. "Blimey mate what's up with you; you almost tore my arm off."
"Sorry Ron but I need your help."
"Of course mate what's wrong?"
Theo who was on his way to the great hall saw Ron ahead of him and was about to catch up when he saw him being pulled into a classroom. He hurried over to the now closed door and stood to listen.
"Malfoy. I have only shared the dorm with him for four days and I am going out of my mind, I can't go and complain or ask to swap or be moved or I will be joining the first years."
"Then piss him off." Ron shrugged.
"How? How do I know what will piss him off?"
A tapping on the door had Harry turning and opening the door he watched as Theo walked in and closed the door behind him. "I saw Ron get dragged in and listened in. Looks like you have a problem Potter."
"Yeah a Malfoy sized one."
"Then you need to know exactly what buttons to press with him. I can help you and won't tell him."
"You will?" Ron asked.
"Yes."
"What's the catch?" Harry asked.
"No catch. I will help you. For a price." he added, smiling at an oblivious Ron.
Harry looked from Theo to Ron and grinned. "Give me five minutes with him; he will join you in the hall."
Theo nodded and left the room with a grin on his face.
"What the bloody hell was that all about?"
"Ron Theo said he will help and tells us what pisses Draco off and not tell him."
"Brilliant. But he said for a price Harry."
"Yes and that price is you."
Ron frowned. "Don't follow."
Harry sighed and rolled his eyes. "Ron Theo likes you, likes you as in wants you more than a friend."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"So he tells me things about Malfoy in exchange for things from me and I tell you?"
"Yes!"
Ron sighed. "Fine. But kissing is as far as I go with him Harry."
"I know. And thank you." Harry hugged Ron and ushered him to the door, "okay go and join him for something to eat then and let me know what he comes up with."
"I'm going I'm going." Ron laughed as he left. "You are lucky I am gay mate."
Theo looked up and smiled when Ron sat beside him. "Will I be helping then?"
"Y-yes. But only k-kissing, that is as fa-" Ron stopped when Theo placed his lips upon his in a quick kiss.
"You are stuttering."
"I am nervous."
"No need to be. Okay one of the things with Draco is, he likes it to be cold when he goes to bed."
"Why?"
"So he can snuggle right down. Yes I know to look at him you wouldn't think he likes to snuggle but that is Draco. And despite how proud he is of his figure a naked boy can make him blush very profusely."
"Is this the same Draco?"
"The very same." Theo laughed.
"Thank you. I will go and tell Harry, more kisses tonight in thanks for telling me?"
"Yes." Theo answered, watching Ron leave with a smile on his face.
When Ron repeated all what Theo had said Harry started to laugh. "Are you sure this is the same Draco Malfoy?" he asked.
"I asked Theo that and yes it is the same ferret."
Harry laughed. "Thanks mate and let me know when you have more."
"I will, got to get going back now; I promised Theo more kisses because of what he told me."
"How do you feel about having to kiss him?"
"You are lucky he is a good kisser." Ron said as he left.
Harry clapped his hands and rubbed them together, he had work to do.
That night Draco walked into the room he shared with Harry. "Fuck it is hot in here. Potter!"
"Yes?" came Harry's voice from the bathroom.
"It is red hot in here what have you done?"
"Made it warm so I can sleep better."
"I can't sleep with it this hot!"
"You will have to try. I have slept the first four nights uncomfortable, I need my sleep."
Before Draco could answer Harry came walking out of the bathroom without a stitch of clothing on and got in his bed. Draco turned bright red and turned away. "You can't sleep naked Potter!"
"In my own bed I will sleep how I like Malfoy, you think it is too hot then cast a cooling charm."
"A cooling charm won't work if you have cast a warming charm, with you casting that if I cast a cooling charm all it will do is make the air muggy. Remove the charm."
"No. Night Malfoy." Harry made sure to toss and turn a few times showing Malfoy all of him before he closed the curtains surrounding him.
Draco could only stare at the now closed curtains, cursing himself for feeling hard just from seeing Potter of all people naked. He cancelled Harry's warming charm and sighed when he felt the air start to cool down before he changed and got into bed himself.
Draco had taken to studying in the library, damn Potter and his naked body, curse him for wanting to do nothing but touch, run his hands over that tanned skin, lick and nip wanting to know his weak spots. He was so fucked.
Draco dropped his head on the table, he couldn't let Potter do this to him, he had to fight back, get under Potters skin, but how? He knew Theo shared with Weasley and he knew for a fact no one knew Potter better than Weasley and Granger, especially Weasley with sharing a dorm with him for six years. He knew if had any hope of getting under Potter's skin then he needed Theo's help.
Draco would have to catch Theo the next day at breakfast; he couldn't leave it any longer. Potter had even started getting off his bed facing him and stretching, stretching! Before he picked his things up and disappeared into the bathroom.
After Draco had showered and dressed he made his way to the Great Hall for his breakfast, hoping to catch Theo alone. He turned a corner and saw Theo not so far in front of him, before he could call out to him he saw a door open and an arm come out which pulled him inside. Draco took out his wand and slowly walked towards the door.
"Still got your firebolt Potter?" Theo asked, his arm around Ron.
"Yes."
"Polish it in front of Draco. He has these magazines, naked wizards polishing broomsticks, straddling them, rubbing them. His weakness."
Harry started laughing.
Draco reached the door to hear Harry laughing, he frowned, Theo was in there with Potter? Draco leaned against the door to hear what was being said.
"Do you have anything else?" he heard Ron ask, Weasley as well? "Harry really needs to push Malfoy's buttons and make him want to ask to move."
Draco froze. So Harry was getting information about him for Harry to use to wind him up in order for him to snap first? And what had Harry promised Theo for this information? Thinking about all that Potter had done so far it now all made sense.
He was willing to bet all he had that Harry doesn't normally sleep naked and only started to when Theo told him it makes him uncomfortable. Draco smirked. "Let the games begin Potter."
Draco walked into the Great Hall and helped himself to some breakfast. He couldn't believe Theo, traitor, telling Potter all of his weaknesses. When he saw Theo enter with Weasley holding hands he knew Theo wasn't giving Potter information for nothing. What was it with his friends? Theo liking Weasley, Blaise liking Granger, what's next? Pansy wanting Longbottom?
They sat down opposite Draco and started talking quietly to each other, Theo whispering to Weasley which made him smile or laugh. Annoyed at his friend Draco swung his leg out and kicked the other Slytherin under the table.
Theo jumped when he felt a foot come into contact with his shin, he looked up at Draco with a questionable look on his face, the blond merely raised an eyebrow before getting up and leaving him and Ron alone.
Giving Potter information in return for sex with Weasley? Draco shuddered at the thought and headed off to class trying to think of ways to wind Potter up.
What do you think?
