Author's Note: Strangely, my ideas for the chapter keeps changing. BUT, there won't be any changes for the story plot. I just love a cunning Harry, don't you?
Please enjoy (:
Chapter Three: The first tick
"Have a good night sleep."
Potter had insisted in sending me home after the dinner, saying that there would be bad 'wolves' lingering in the dark alleys waiting for the right time to turn me into their nighttime 'supper'. I couldn't imagine how he even thought of such ideas, and I laughed when those words were said.
"Potter scared of wolves?" I started teasing him by making the screeching noise that wolves will make.
He just gave me a grin and it's not the normal kind of friendly grin.
His grin was eerie and I couldn't help but looked left and right throughout the journey home. There was once when I saw this pair of eyes at a corner of the shop looking straight at us. They gleamed under the moonlight and resembled the eyes of those werewolves that we learned during Howgarts. That's when I started cursing why was my flat situated so far out. As,we were getting near to my flat , there was this idiot cat came dashing out across us which freaked me out. My hands on instinct grabbed onto the nearest person who happened to be Potter.
"BOO!"
He just had to add oil to the fire by scaring me again right after the cat left.
"Damn you, Potter. It isn't funny at all" I hit him hard on his head and he gave me an apologetic look.
"Sorry about that. But I couldn't resist the temptation of scaring you. This isn't a chance one gets easily."
"And since when did I become Draco. It's always Malfoy! M- A-L-F-O-Y! Please register that into your peanut-sized brain!"
"Well, it happened since …." He lifted his finger to his forehead and frowned in concentration.
Stupid Potter, what's the point of thinking. It wasn't even a question.
"AH--, its Draco ever since -----"His eyelid fluttered open and his eyes looked straight at me with a smirk that I never knew a Gryffindor could make out.
"--- we kissed"
Oh dear, I had hidden that embarrassing moment to the back of my mind and now the images of the kiss came leaping back.
"It was an accident, Potter. It didn't mean anything at all. " I turned around because I didn't want him to see how my cheek had tinted was embarrassing enough that I'm blushing like I had just confessed my undying love for that Pansy. Nope, that's not even a good description. Loving Pansy is way more than it is, but the important thing now was how frustrating that kiss had affected me. Argh, I felt like pulling my hair out now. I am so confused by everything. Potter sudden appearance, the kiss, the dinner date, and the conversations between us at the diner. It's just so out of place. My life was supposed to consist of me and only me. Up until now, nobody had mange to invade into my heart. With the exception of Potter who had already found his way back into my heart.
My emotions from the past came flying back, and it felt like it was only yesterday when I fall in love with him. Yes, I'm already in love with the bloody idiot standing behind me. Without my noticing, Harry had embraced me from behind and wrapped my body tightly against his. On this quiet night, I could feel his breathing sounding loud against my ear and hear his heart thumping fast.
"The kiss meant something to me"
"Have a goodnight sleep. Don't dream of me" his voice was soft and caring, though he couldn't do without the teasing tone at the last bit.
I had my head down facing Harry and let him tousled up my hair as he wishes. We reached the doorstep of my rented flat after like a century. Right then, I'm stoned at the spot after his short confession and my brain could remember only that line. "The kiss meant something to me" My ears couldn't hear anything but the beating of his heart and my sense of touch felt nothing of cold but the warmth of his body.
"I thought the dinner will be a good start to resolve our past rivalry. Guess it didn't help much eh? " he sounded restless and sad.
Yet , I couldn't make out any words at all. It was as if I being poisoned dumb.
Harry tilted my chin up and forced me to look up upon him. Neither was there a scowl on his face nor did he chastise me of my lack of words. He just… smiles. A genuine real smile directed at me. That smile triggered all kind of emotions running through me that I couldn't understand now.
He hugged me after that and kissed the top of my head.
"I'll visit you tomorrow at the café. Better get going, it's getting late. Wouldn't want you to be late for work, ya." He winked at me and walked off after a wave of his hand.
I stood there watching his figure disappearing around the corner and right after that my leg staggered a few steps back before my whole body limped against the door.
"Draco Malfoy, you had landed yourself in a serious trouble." I sighed in defeat and hope tomorrow won't arrive that fast.
Draco was in such deep thoughts that he didn't realize the shadow hidden behind the corner.
Harry placed a tick besides the first line on the paper: Get rid of Draco Malfoy's wall of defence.
"Well, isn't this plan going on fast." Harry took the paper in his hand and scanned through those lines before him. He smiled but it didn't take a few minutes when you could see the frown on his face
"Damn it" He slammed the paper on the table before crushing it into a ball.
"Ronald Weasley, you won't get what you want"
