Vote: who's gonna make a better boyfriend? Harry or Draco? On with the votes!

It was a week after the major exams. You never forgot about your first kiss, but you never let it bother you, either. You hung out with Draco, acting like the best of friends, being each others partners for projects, helping each other with homework; you know, the usual.

But when you had gone back to the common room at a late night, Hermione, Ron, and Harry didn't even talk to you anymore. They seemed like…like they weren't your friends anymore. They were just…there.

You wanted to change that. You wanted to laugh at Hermione's attempt at jokes, correct Ron's usual mistakes, and you just…wanted to talk to Harry. But that wasn't going to happen. Just because you started hanging out with Public Enemy number 1, they didn't talk to you.

But that was going to change; you were determined to change it.

It was potions, and you were sitting beside Draco although you didn't pay attention to him. It seemed so heartless, you remembering how heartbroken Harry seemed that day.

You were walking by yourself. It was the day after the exam, and Harry was expecting to sit beside you again. He sat by an empty seat, waiting for you. He looked back, saw you, smiled, but as you walk right past him…

You couldn't bare it. You sat in front – left of them, sometimes looking back if they were looking at you. They never would.

"I expect that all of you have read the First Spellcaster's Diary," Snape said. You barely heard it because of your daydreaming, but you suddenly burst out with words that you didn't control.

"I did not and am not!"

Snape whipped back his head, facing you, just like everyone else.

You covered your mouth, trying to stop the on coming words that were…the truth.

"No….what I mean was….I only read….the first three page. I NEARLY DISLOCATED MY JAW FROM YAWNING!" you shouted. You gasped, realizing that even blocking your mouth with your hands will not stop the words.

"Ms. Heartfield! I'll have you know that you have just bought yourself two hours of detention!" Snape sneered. You gaped, mortified. This was embarrassing.

You looked at Draco, who was trying to cover his laughter.

"Um…Professor Snape?" Someone called out. You didn't have to look to know it was Harry talking. "I agree with…Kassandra's…criticism," he said. You looked back, shocked, and he was looking at you, and then turned to Snape.

"You have two hours of detention, too. You will join Miss Heartfield tonight. Anyone else who speaks out, an exam will be brought out and so will a project," he said.

You smiled at that half heartedly. You could imagine Hermione almost standing up and Ron having to make her sit still.

You looked back at Harry, but he was already writing something down. You looked back at your own piece of paper, and sighed.

Why do all good things come to an end?!

"Harry! Harry, wait!" You called after class. You chased after him but he didn't stop. You grabbed his shoulder, and he turned around.

"Look, Harry, I was wondering…why did you speak out?" you asked. He sighed.

"Because that's was friends do. But now, knowing you're Malfoy's friend, I think I regret it."

You were walking to detention at 7pm, almost there. You had figure out why you had burst out earlier. Fred and George had put a truth spell one you; payback for befriending an enemy.

You opened the door and saw Harry already sitting and Snape writing something down on his desk. You came in slowly, trying to avoid looking at Harry.

"Miss Heartfield, delightful you could join us. Sit down, no talking, I will be right back," Snape said as he left the class room.

Each of you were on the other side of the class room. Detentions used to be fun. Both of you would usually go to detention for talking to each other too much. And in detention, even when you were opposite ends of the class room, you would send flying notes to each other…

You sighed, but a note had flown to your desk. You opened it, knowing that it was Harry's writing.

Why aren't you sending anything?

You looked at him. You took out your wand and erased what he put and wrote down your response. You gave it to him and he opened it.

Because you hate me.

Harry gave you a puzzled look, and gave a note to you.

Says who?

You sighed and wrote again.

You said you regretted doing a favor. By the way, what was the favor?

Harry chuckled while looking at you. He wrote something down quickly. You opened the note.

I was mad, I didn't mean it. You know we'll always be best friends. The favor was…not letting you go to a hell hole by yourself.

You giggled as you looked at him and gave your response.

So…are we okay?

Harry looked at you and nodded. "Of course."

He still gave a written response.

What about Malfoy…I mean Draco?

You sighed and smiled at Harry once again.

What about him? I was supposed to only help him out with studying on the exam. The exams are over, therefore, spending time with him: over.

Besides, I miss you guys.

I miss what you guys do, what you laugh about…

And I miss your smile.

Harry blushed as he read the last line, and saw it. He wrote back.

What about the kiss?

You rolled your eyes. You wrote back and gave it to him.

It's Draco's way of saying 'thank you'. Unfortunately, he gave my first kiss.

Harry smirked and wrote back something and gave it to you quickly. You gave him puzzled look and read it.

Who would you rather get your first kiss from? I mean if you got to turn back time?

You blushed harshly. It took a minute for you to make a response, but you finally gave the note to him and boy, were you blushing like mad.

You.

Harry looked at you, smiled, but frowned as Snape came back. You didn't mind. It was just 5 minutes and you just got your best friend back.

You and Harry were walking back to your dormitories. You didn't dare look at him; you still remembered what you wrote on the note, he probably did too. It was just one word, one syllable, and just three letters, but it meant so much.

"So, do you mean it?" Harry suddenly asked. You looked at him, puzzled. "In the note, I mean."

You blushed once again, and you know you were going to strangle yourself for it.

"Uuhhh, maybe…" you said, embarrassed. Harry chuckled, and somehow you didn't feel so nervous anymore. "I don't know. Maybe it's true. Draco's a jerk, and you're…"

"I'm what?" He asked. Both of you stopped walking and faced each other.

"You're my best friend and nothing gets in the way of that. Nothing," you said, making him smile once again. That made you smile, too.

"What?" he asked, as you two started walking again.

"In the note, I mentioned I missed your smile. I saw you smile, a real one, right there. For some reason, it just…I don't know, it just kinda tells me that the passed week never happened and that you, me, Ron, Hermione…it just says that we face good times, bad times, best friends," you said. You then realized that it sounded cheesy.

"You know, I kinda missed your smile, too. It's just for a whole week, I thought I had lost my best friend," Harry said.

"You could never lose me, don't you know that?" you asked, smiling, and hugging him all at the same time. Harry hugged you back.

"Now I do."

Okay, so now you and Harry are being back to friends. But what about Draco? How's he going to react?
