**Draco's P.O.V.**

Muggle Studies. Just what I need this year. And with Potter, worst of all.

We were supposed to meet in some place to discuss how things would work. I don't understand how Potter will be helping me with the NEWT'S when he can barely even walk in a straight line.

I heard an owl pecking on the common rooms windows and opened the window and got the piece of parchment from it.

"Shew!" I said, knocking the owl from the window.

I opened the letter and it said:

Malfoy,

Meet me in the library after dinner.

-HP

Like he can order me around, but I still got out a quill and wrote back:

"HP",

Don't think you can tell me what to do, Potter. See you there around 7. Don't be late.

-Draco Malfoy

**Harry's P.O.V**

After reading Malfoy's note I decided to pay Dumbledore a visit and ask him why he paired me and Malfoy together.

I told Ron where I was going, then started walking to Dumbledore's office.

"Come in," Dumbledore's voice drifted through the door after I had knocked.

I walked through the door and took a seat before him.

"Lemon drop?" He offered.

I shook my head and he leaned back into his chair.

"So, what brings you here?"

"I was wondering why you paired me with Malfoy."

He shook his head, "It wasn't I that paired you. It was the sorting hat."

I blinked in confusion, "But why would the sorting hat pair me with Malfoy of all people?"

"Because, Harry, the pairings are based on your connection with the other person, whether it's nonexistent or not. It's what could be if the people were brought together and…"

Dumbledore was cut off by the sorting hat's voice, "Dumbledore's right, but he is missing something. The pairing is based on the victim's desires, what their heart desires. You and the Malfoy boy will do great things together, physically and emotionally. Do not question it, just let it come to be."

And with that the hat stopped talking and I turned to Dumbledore. He had a knowing glint in his eyes.

"Is that all, Harry?"

I simply nodded my head and quickly exited his office, with the sorting hats words on replay in my head.

What my heart desires…

That night I wrote in my journal all of what Dumbledore had said.

Dear Journal, Oct, 5th.

Apparently my heart desires Draco Malfoy. Dumbledore said the pairing was based on our connection. And then the sorting hat said we would do great things together, physically and emotionally. Whatever that meant. All I know is that Malfoy and I were about to get closer, and apparently my heart desired it.

**Draco's P.O.V.**

I reeled back from the journal in shock. Potter is my heart's desire?

My whole game plan has just changed. If Potter secretly desires me, and I him, then I will use this against him.

Starting tonight at the library I will pretend to want to get close to him.

Maybe my heart will be proved wrong.

We'll see.

A/N: Okay, yes it's short, but I finally have a working laptop and internet so updates WILL be more frequent! If I have to make them shorter to get them out more than once a week, then so be it! Thanks for reading(:
