Chapter2

"Draco, I'm winding you up." Harry said needlessly

I made a few muffled groans but eventually I gave in and I took my head off of my pillow. Stupidly making the mistake of thinking I could stand up. This only caused me more embarrassment when I got to my feet and my legs gave way causing me to collapse, luckily(but mortifyingly), into Harry's arms.

"Draco, be careful. Really if you die in this room, I will get chucked in Azkaban for your murder or something. Are you okay now?" He joked

I tried to say yes, but speech failed me. I nodded curtly. He slowly loosened the grip he had on my, careful to insure I stayed upright.

"Thanks Harry." I mumbled

"Not a problem, Dray" he replied casually

I realised that he called me by father's nickname; I winced at the use of it, but did not lash out as I did with others who carelessly floated the name to me.

"Oh god, Sorry Draco, I forgot he used to call you that." Harry immediately gushed realising his mistake. He even reached out for Draco and pulled him into a hug.

I whimpered softly against his chest. "It must be harder for you, at least I knew my parents before they died." I managed to splutter.

"Not really, I mean I don't know if I had any nicknames let alone what they might have been, so I can't be hurt by them like you can." He reasoned.

"But sometimes I think maybe not knowing is worse. Sure I didn't get along with my parents but at least I knew them. I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you before the war Har' truly I am, and I don't mind if you call me Dray." I hadn't known where it came from but it was true and I liked it.

"Draco, I thought we'd talked that over, what's done is done, you were a Slytherin and a Malfoy also no less," he tried reasoning but I cut in.

"Harry I cannot believe you would provide me with an excuse for how I treat you?" I gawped

"Drayyyco," Harry managed to recover. "I am not excusing you I'm simply stating fact, in fact people expected no less of you than to act how you did. Dray we were kids, the war" he paused for a moment. "The war changed us."

I winced again when he whispered my nickname. "Still, Harry." He talked over me.

"Draco, for gods sake, no arguments it's done, we can't change it." Harry moaned.

"Okay Harry, then can we start again, can we be friends?" I asked quietly

"Sure, we can be friends Draco." He replied pulling me into a quick hug.

A:N/ Hope you enjoyed it I am going to try and get chapter up every few days. I'm done with exams until March time so hopefully I'll be able to manage that. Please review and let me know if you think I should make this Drarry fic or not.
