Chapter 4 peoples! I'm (again) writing or well editing this chapter while I'm in my study hall and I have completely forgotten how chapter 3 ended. So, if this chapter is a little off excuse it but when I get home I will totally edit the changes to fit how chapter 3 ended and all will be well and this note will mean nothing. Okay, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I still own NOTHING!

Draco sat on his bed and looked out the window. The Dursley's had confined him and Potter to their rooms because they fought. Draco didn't really see the problem; they did it all the time. But, the Dursely's were abnormal and Draco hated them probably even more than he hated Potter, which was saying something. He in the middle of thinking about what he could've been doing had he stayed home when he heard a faint knock on his door; he jumped slightly and ignored it. "Malfoy?" came the soft whisper of the Gryffindor he'd come to hate.

"What do you want Potter? Can't you see I'm busy?" Malfoy replied looking out the window.

"Doing what? Looking out at the rain? Yes, you are sooo busy I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb you."

"Sod off Potter. What do you want anyway?"

"Well you see I was wondering you're fairly good at potions aren't you?"

"Fairly is an understatement. Why?" Draco asked turning to look at Potter.

"Well I've done all my homework accept for Potions. And since you're pretty good at it, I thought maybe you could… help me?"

"Maybe,"

"Oh come on Malfoy! Please? Just this once? After this, depending on how things go, I'll go back to having Mione help me."

"Depending on how things go?"

"It doesn't matter. Please? I really need to get this done…. Correctly and you're the only person here who can help me. I'd video chat with Hermione and do it, but she's with her parents. PLEASE!"

"Fine, fine I'll help you. You have to return the favor though."

"You're having trouble in potions too?"

"No. Transfiguration, and it's one of the classes you're good at no?"

"Fine."

The next hour or so, the two boys helped each other, getting closer, something which scared the both of them dearly. "Malfoy… I was wondering…"

"What is it now Potter?"

"Don't you think that now that we're basically on the same side, we should be on a first name basis?"

"Really? You'd start calling me Draco?" Draco hoped he didn't sound hopeful, because that's how he felt.

"Well yeah, I mean you are on our side. Besides, we've been having these petty fights over nothing for almost five years. Don't you think it's time we stopped?"

"Yeah I suppose. Does this mean we're friends now?"

"I wouldn't say friends per say, just acquaintances. I mean yeah we've known each other for almost five years but we don't really know each other. You get what I'm saying?"

"Yeah, so we'll start off as acquaintances and then gradually move up?"

"Yeah."

"Sounds like a plan. But Po—Harry, how exactly do you plan on us getting to know each other?"

"Same as everyone Draco. We talk; we have the night to do it too. Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Dudley have that thing tonight."

"Oh that's right! So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Hmm don't know really…"

After that the broke off into a comfortable silence. Eventually they started talking again. They talked about anything and everything they could think of. Eventually they sat across from one and other on 'Draco's' bed and spent the whole night laughing. Eventually Harry got up stating that he had to go to bed and Draco felt a little sad, but they made a plan to continue where they left off tomorrow. Draco got up from his bed after Harry left and he walked to the window and looked out of it. He looked at the moon and wished he had his mother here to talk to. He figured she'd want to know what was going on. He smiled and walked to the desk in his room and pulled out some parchment from his bag and pulled out a quill and ink.

Mum,

I hope you are doing well. The people here at this ruddy place are awful! They treat Harry (yes Harry) like complete and utter crap! The large one, Vernon I think it is, abuses him like it's nothing. His aunt, Petunia, makes him do all the chores! His cousin Dudley (awful name I know) pushes him around just as much as the large one does. On the plus side, I've gotten to know Harry a lot over the past few hours. Hence why I am now calling him Harry. Mum, you should see his eyes! I've never noticed them before, but that's probably because I've never actually looked at him before. But they are really, really green. I mean really green mum. They look like the emeralds you have on your wedding ring to father. Anyway, the point of this letter is to let you know that I am okay, and that I miss you. I hope to see you soon, maybe once school starts and the Hogsmead trips start? Anyways, I'm tired and hopefully you write back soon, that's if father lets you. Please, don't let him know where I am… at all. I love you.

Your son,

Draco L. Malfoy

Draco quickly wrote out the alias he and his mother created for him and he gave it to how owl to take to Malfoy Manor. He leant back in his chair and was about to get into the bed when he heard "NO! NO! Stop! NO! CEDRIC!"

Draco got out of his chair faster than you could say Hogwarts and threw open his door. He then threw open Harry's door, a bit too forcefully and saw Harry thrashing around on his bed, sweat on every surface of skin the boy had. Draco's heart went out to the boy as he sat down on the bed. He put his hand on the other's forearm and slowly the brunette calmed down. "Draco?" Harry asked tiredly.

"Ssh, it's okay. It's just a dream. He can't hurt you." Draco whispered down to the brunette before taking the other into his arms and quietly rocking him to sleep. When Harry was fully asleep, Draco set him down on the bed and kissed his forehead lightly. "Goodnight Harry." He got up quickly after that and went to his own room. Not seeing the small smile that was now on the raven haired boys face. "Goodnight Draco."


Dawww that's so cute isn't it? Comepletly different than how things went in the original. I really, really wanted to put in the part where Draco was like "Harry I have to pee!" but I decided against it, but I really wanted to. Damn me and changing it! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR :( Oh well things happen for a reason. At least there was slight Drarry in this wonderfuly fluffy chapter. Review because I am awesome and you love me... otherwise chapter 5 is getting held hostage! On another note, I re-watched Deathly Hallows Prt 1 and OHMIGOSH there is sooooo much drarry in there! I can't wait to write it up in the last part of this series (which follows 5th year ((this one)) 6th year and 7th year and the epilogue) It's going to be soooooooooooooo much fun. Au Revoir~
