Harry slumped down on one of the plush chairs in front of the fire in the Gryffindor common room.

"What's wrong with you mate?" Ron asked noticing his friend's dejected state.

Harry sighed "I'm getting tutored in potions by Malfoy"

Ron stared at him as if he had just sprouted wings "Why" he asked disbelievingly.

"You remember when Crabbe set the room of requirement on fire and I saved Malfoy during the final battle" Harry said, Ron nodded. "Well apparently due to some weird pureblood tradition he now owes me a life debt, and this is what we agreed to in order for him pay it off."

Ron nodded "Oh I've heard of those, I guess I never tho-" Ron cut off abruptly turning an interesting shade of green and then pale.

"What's wrong?" Harry questioned looking at him in concern.

"Fuck, I saved Goyle, there is no way I'm letting that perv near me. I swear he was ogling my arse in potions yesterday." Harry stared trying hard not to laugh.

"Oi! It's not funny!"

"Sure" Harry said trying and failing to muffle his laughter "There's nothing funny at all."

Ron scowled at him but then laughed himself "At least I don't have to spend hours with him in a cold dungeon sweating over some potion." That wiped the smile off of Harry's face quickly.

"We're not going to be in some dungeon we're going to meet in the room of requirement."

"Blimey, it still works?"

Harry nodded thinking of how Draco had responded when he had asked the same question.

"Well" Ron said "I'm sorry mate, maybe you should have just let the git go."

Harry glared at Ron "And let him burn to death like Crabbe, no way."

"Why not, Malfoy's always been a git."

"He may have been a git but he doesn't deserve to die; besides he hasn't given us much trouble after the war, only when you provoke him."

Ron grumbled something about ferrets but Harry just ignored him and stood. "I'm going to go and get something to eat before I have to see Malfoy."

"Alright" Ron said still slightly peeved "Good luck with the ferret."

Harry smiled at his friends grimace and hurried out.

As he was walking back from the kitchens with an apple in his pocket that he was planning to snack on perhaps in the astronomy tower, Harry heard hushed voices coming from behind an old tapestry and decided to listen.

"C'mon Malfoy, just try it, I know you won't regret it."

Harry paused when he heard the git's name, he did not want to see the blond unless he absolutely had to, but nonetheless heard himself intently listening.

Harry heard a very soft snort. He had no idea how the Slytherin did it but he had even managed to make his snort sound dignified. "I highly doubt that" He heard Malfoy say in his usual drawl.

"Why won't you just stop fighting and give in to me like you know you want to."

"The only thing I want to do is finish my ridiculously long transfiguration essay and then perhaps relax before something I have to see to later tonight. And the does not include you" Malfoy said coldly. Harry could just picture the blondes grey eyes narrowing in annoyance having seen that look on his face many times before.

"I've seen you staring at me; you and I both know that you want me so let's stop doing this little dance and begin a much more enjoyable activity."

"Nott" Draco growled out and Harry felt a chill run down his spine at the pure fury in Malfoy's voice that he had never heard before, even in their many skirmishes when they were younger. "Get your hand off my ass before I castrate you."

Harry couldn't help but smirk as he heard the other boy, who he had just learned to be Theodore Nott, back up a few paces.

"Why must you be like that?"

"You know" Draco said in a pondering voice "For a Slytherin you're not very cunning when you want something. Thus another reason, as I have told you several times before, proving that you're not my type."

"I prefer to be bold"

"Then date a fucking Gryffindor, I don't care as long as you stay away from me."

"Draco, you already came out to the house that you were bi."

"No" Draco said sharply and Harry could sense that this was a dangerous subject to get into with the blond and could just picture a scowl marring his pale features "I came out to Pansy one night when I was drunk out of my mind and she came out to everyone for me, much against my wishes."

Nott sighed and there was a light rustle that could be heard that sounded like hair brushing against fabric. Harry figured Nott mush have been shaking his head. "The point of the matter is Draco, that you like guys too, I'm a guy, a damn good looking one too. And you're a guy, equally good looking, and we good looking guys need to stick together. What better way than by getting as close as possible. And there's nothing closer than my dick up your delicious arse." There was a pause and Harry waited with baited breath until he heard a horrified scream that came from Nott.

Harry could hear the smirk in Malfoy's voice "You'd better go to Madame Pomfrey about that. I told you not to touch me. And next time, you'll e missing everything instead of just your balls. With another shriek Nott ran out like a madman in the direction of the hospital wing nearly running over Harry who frantically threw himself against the wall.

Harry stared after him in shock for a moment at the retreating Slytherin before he heard Malfoy slowly moving from behind the tapestry. Without thinking Harry quickly walked away not caring to meet the hostile Slytherin at that moment, and headed to his original destination of the astronomy tower.

Oh yes, lessons with Malfoy were going to be very interesting.

AN: No I have not given this story up, nor any of my others. But things have come up, and it's not good. If worst comes to worst I'll just finish the story in a ridiculously, like eighty pages or more long chapter due to some weird computer issues. But rest assured I will finish my story. All of my stories.

Reviews are love!
