Hi, this is Eleviel here! Please review because I am new to this and I do need your feedback. I don't care if it is bagging my story because eve that can make it better.
Chapter Two
"I can't believe you were given detention! You're the bloody chosen one!" Ron, Harry and Hermione sat on the couches in the Gryffindor common room. The redheaded boy waved his hands around in frustration at Harry's predicament. "From what you've said, Malfoy bloody-well deserved it!"
"Calm down, Ron." Hermione, the ever-calm peace-maker, suggested. She placed her right hand on Ron's shoulder as he sat next to her. "McGonagall is probably doing this to help the boys get along."
She made it all sound reasonable in Harry's ears. Of course he agreed with Ron just a little more, but Hermione's argument had merit as well. Harry didn't know what he was feeling.
Not saying a word, he got up from the couch and made his way to his room. He would have locked the door but that would have left Ron and his other roommates without a bed to sleep on.
He changed into his pyjamas and sighed as he collapsed onto the mattress and drew the curtains around his bed. He placed his glasses and wand on the bedside table and drew the blankets up around his body. He closed his eyes and willed sleep to fall upon him.
"Shake him!" Ron hissed. Harry could barely make out muffled shuffles before he felt hands grip his shoulders. They shook him until he shouted that he was awake and aware.
"What could have possessed you to do that? It wasn't Peeves was it?" Harry rubbed at his eyes and put his glasses on, transforming the fuzzy blobs into his roommates.
The boys all glanced around nervously before Ron shrugged, "Nope, I don't believe it was." Ron glanced at Dean, Seamus and Neville. They all grinned and before Harry could ask, Neville answered.
"It is the anniversary of you and Ginny breaking up today." Neville glanced at his feet.
"But we're still together." Harry protested, just a little confused. He looked at the boys around him and they all looked back at him with a little concern. "Oh," he said finally catching on, "You mean when we broke up before we went hunting the horcruxes." He stared at them for confirmation and they all nodded. "Wait, we broke up before she went back to school."
"Yeah, but you and Ginny decided to have the anniversary today, remember?" Neville said slowly, enunciating every word so that Harry could hear him properly.
"That's right; we were going to do something after classes." He grinned at the thought of snogging his girlfriend. "Shit, I have detention with Malfoy today. Ah, Ginny is going to be bummed." Harry groaned and climbed out of bed.
"She'll be fine, mate. Just tell 'er." Ron suggested with a lift of his right shoulder. Harry sighed and made a grab for his trousers. Before pulling them on he motioned for the others to leave. They didn't understand him so he shouted at them.
"Get out!" They left and he proceeded to get dressed.
The idea of going to detention instead of seeing Ginny, made Harry slightly happy. Of course then he remembered that he was going to detention with Malfoy and his happiness… did not seem to change at all. Seemingly, it did not matter that he was going to be stuck in a room with his childhood rival for an hour.
He stepped from the crowded hall into the small detention room and sat at one of the three vacant chairs. He reached into his bags to get his homework and was halfway pulling it onto the desk when a stern voice caught his attention.
"You will not be needing that today, Mr Potter." A distinctly female voice interrupted his motion and without a second thought he shoved his books back into his bag.
"What then, Miss Trifoot?" Malfoy sauntered into the classroom and sat himself down at the other desk. He leaned back in his chair and placed his feet on the desk, crossed.
"It's Mrs, but to you I am Professor Trifoot." She pushed his feet off the desk and went behind his chair and shoved it in until his belly was touching the wood of the desk. She harrumphed and sat down in the last chair.
"Today we will be working on sorting out your problems with each other and pretty much getting to know each other a little more." Her lilting voice was enticing yet commanding at the same time and the boys soon found themselves listening intently.
"I already know all about that scumbag!" Harry stated, sitting straighter in his chair than was strictly necessary.
"No, I don't believe you do, Mr Potter. And before you say anything Mr Malfoy, you don't know enough about Mr Potter either." She had leaned forward on her desk whilst saying all that and she stared both boys deep into the eyes before continuing; "Let us start with you, Mr Malfoy." He shrugged. "Ask Mr Potter a question and Mr Potter will answer truthfully." She held up a finger at the impending protests. "This room is spelled. Mr Potter and Yourself cannot lie." She grinned and waved for them to proceed.
"Potter, why did you tackle me the other night?" Malfoy leaned back in his chair again but with a quick glance at Professor Trifoot, he righted himself.
"Because you punched me!" Harry shouted.
"I only punched you because you punched me!" Draco shouted. He stood up in his place in outrage and made a move towards Potter. Before he could touch him, though, he was propelled backwards.
"Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that. The room is also spelled to not allow fighting." She clapped her hands in glee and leaned back in her chair. "Your turn, Harry."
Draco sat back down in his chair and gave Harry the evil eye, daring him to ask about the other night. Harry did not take the bait; "Why did you talk to me on our first night here, in first year?" Harry queried.
"Because I wanted to be your friend." Draco ground out through clenched teeth.
Harry gasped.
Okay, I hope you liked that and it is not what you think, Harry is not gasping because Draco wants to be friends! Anyway, I will post again next week at around the same time. Also sorry the chapter was short, I had a horrible day of classes and it is 38 degrees here in Melbourne so I am boiling in my own skin. Anyway hope you liked it! READ AND REVIEW!
