Harry couldn't help staring at the Slytherin as he coolly gave orders to the house elves who scurried about to meet his demands, noticing for the first time how sensual Draco's voice could sound. Shaking his head resolutely he sat down across from the blond, cheeks taking on a slight pink tinge as knowing silver eyes met his.

Resolutely avoiding the older teens gaze, Harry looked around at nothing in particular, determined not to be drawn into a staring contest that he knew he would lose, which was undoubtedly another part of one of Draco's games.

The elves silently but proudly presented an array of foods and sweets for the two boys, which Draco politely thanked them for, much to Harry's surprise. Noticing the Gryffindor's shock the blond raised a single pale eyebrow in question, making Harry flush slightly. 'Really' he thought in self disappointment, 'I have to stop blushing; I'm acting like a First Year with a crush!'

"I um . . ." Harry trailed off while avidly fighting down his blush, "I just didn't think you'd be so nice to the house elves, from what Dobby said . . ."

Grey eyes darkened minutely and Harry instantly wished that he'd kept his mouth shut. "Sorry" he murmured.

"It's fine" Draco said, smiling slightly. "I suppose I haven't always been the nicest to elves, and I guess Dobby was no exception, but like I said, I've changed a lot . . . grown" Harry smiled slightly, for once getting a glimpse of the mature teen in front of him who had changed so much from the arrogant boy he had first met that day in Madame Malkins. "In more ways then one" The blond finished in a purr, smirk gracing his lips as Harry's blush came back to light despite all his hard work.

"Right . . . well" Harry said, busying himself with a cheery tart to avoid further embarrassment.

Draco smiled, nibbling on a pastry himself as he watched the nervous teen before him.

"So I see the weaslette still has eyes for you" he said casually, watching carefully for the other's reaction.

"Yeah" Harry said, chancing a glance up now that the conversation had drifted into safer subjects. "Unfortunately"

"Unfortunate indeed" Draco drawled, eyes lighting up in amusement. "You two are entirely unsuited for each other, you need someone who could be your lover and partner in crime, someone who can take care of you. . . in every possible since of the term." He said in a would be innocent manner if Harry hadn't caught the telling glint in his eyes.

"Perhaps" he murmured, proud that he had managed to prevent a blush. "I'll just have to wait until I find that person then"

"Perhaps" the blond agreed, meeting his gaze unwaveringly, "Or they might even be right in front of you."

Harry swallowed, murmuring something unintelligible as he reached for a strawberry, avoiding the intense gaze he knew was fixed on him.

Draco had to keep himself in check as he watched rosy lips enclose around the red fruit. Merlin, for the first time he wished he could be a fruit.

He watched this display of unintentional seduction for about five minutes before finally deciding that he couldn't take the unintentional teasing any longer. Quickly, he reached in right as the raven haired beauty was about to put another strawberry into his kissable mouth and snatched it, taking a bite himself as if getting back at the cruel fruit before placing it between rosy lips that were still open slightly in surprise.

Reflexively, Harry chewed the fruit slowly before swallowing, looking at Draco perplexed, unable to fight off the furious blush that sprang to his cheeks. "Wh-what, um, Draco . . . ?"

Draco shrugged, offering a seemingly innocent smile, "I wanted a strawberry and you were about to eat the last one."

Harry stared at him, slightly incredulous and still flushed, "I'm sure the house elves could have brought you some."

Silver eyes sparkled in amusement. "I'm sure they could, but I didn't feel like waiting. What a Malfoy wants, a Malfoy gets" he said with a smile as he stood, letting the house elves know that they were finished. Grabbing a still slightly stunned Harry by the hand he stood, pulling the Gryffindor out the door behind him.

Noticing the lack of students in the hallway he assumed that they were all still in the Great Hall giving the two a few more minutes without distractions. Draco cursed as he was proved wrong by the flash of red waiting at the end of the hallway.

Letting go of Harry's hand, he fell into step slightly behind the emerald eyed boy, pulling out his wand as an idea came to him. Murmuring a simple spell he watched in satisfaction as neat cursive writing in bright green danced across the unaware teen's back.

"Harry!" Ginny squealed as she ran over to the two, arm clutching the raven haired boy's in a vice like grip. "I was getting so worried about you, I mean you were in his company after all."

"My company" The Slytherin said, raising an eyebrow in incredulity. "Harry would have more need to be concerned if her were in your company."

"What?" The redhead screeched stamping her foot in annoyance.

Draco smirked, "Well you do tend to grope him, drop innuendos, and thrust your small Third Year robes covered chest at him every five minutes, and I don't." The Slytherin stated. Draco noticed a slightly amused glint in Harry's eyes and he couldn't help but share it, so maybe he did the first two things, but certainly not the last!

"I don't . . . he doesn't . . . it- it's not small!" Ginny stuttered, "And even if I did those ludicrous things, why would he ever want to be with you instead of me."

Smirking, Draco grabbed Harry's hand, narrowing his eyes dangerously at the annoying redhead before him. "If you still don't get it, take a good look at Harry's back as we leave." Harry looked at him in confusion but Draco's smirk only grew as he began to lead the perplexed Gryffindor down the corridor.

Ginny's eyes widened as she read the words written across an unaware Harry's back, for written clearly was: Property of Draco Malfoy.
