---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Great Hall
Their classes were regular, easy to flow into for only the first day to be back, but it was only the morning. Harry wasn't even stressed out, which was a relief for himself. He was alone in all his classes in the morning, which he sort of enjoyed being able to...well...work on his own. He was able to tele-communicate with his wonderful ring and he learned a bit from it. The ring had only yet to answer his final questions, the first was about the ring first saying he was a member of Black. The second when the ring had pulled him and Malfoy apart back in Knocturn Ally and stated they were allies by relations...It made no sense, and while he was thinking about it he didn't even notice Ron and Hermione come and sit with him. He just sat there and caressed his little friend.
"HelloooOOOooo...Harry? HARRY!!!" Hermione snapped her fingers in front of his face and he snapped back into reality.
"There you are mate, thought we lost you there for a moment" Ron gave a goofy grin and chuckled while Hermione smiled and sighed.
"You've been so out of it today, what's the matter?" the freckle faced kid now frowned.
" I don't know...just full of thoughts lately I guess" he smiled reassuringly at them and looked down at his food. "You know, I'm not that hungry. I'm going to go take a small walk before potions...Don't give me that look Hermione, I'm fine I swear!" he chuckled and stood up.
"Harry!" Hermione stopped him and he looked back. Before Harry could look, Ron had given her a warning nudge. "H-have fun" she smiled and Harry beamed at her before leaving. But meanwhile, at the Slytherin table...
"Look! There he goes!" Goyle pointed out to Crabbe who nodded and tapped his wand to a small silver ball, sending the message to Draco who stood outside the doors that Harry was approaching. He waited as Draco replied that he understood, and outside the Hall Draco waited with his 'master plan'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Main Hall
Harry left the Great Hall with an upbeat mood, whistling and walking with a bounce in his step. The ring shone gently, reflecting his emotions and before he knew it someone called out "STUPIFY" and he was now flat on his face on the cold floor. Draco came and turned him over with his foot and stared into those deep green eyes. "Hello star shine" he smirked, and then suddenly Harry was engulfed in blackness.
Crabbe and Goyle emerged from the Hall quickly after they got Draco's message in the silver balls.
"It was smart of you to buy these Kalinthirs Draco! It's made plotting so much better!" Crabbe tossed his in the air and caught it, putting it in his pocket.
"Thank you, that's all good but we need to dispose of the body! Put him in our room and tell Snape I won't be in class today...I have some things I need to take care of" he chuckled as Crabbe and Goyle carried Potter to the Slytherin common room then to their sleeping area.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle's Room
"Put him on my bed and leave, if you two are late it'll look to suspicious. And don't worry, I'll leave some of him left for you two to bruise." they all shared a hearty laugh and the two goons obeyed and left for class which started in a couple of minutes. When Draco was sure of everyone being gone, he locked the door and sighed, leaning his head on the door and shaking it. "Oh Draco, Draco, Draco..." he turned and looked at Harry on the bed and stared at him before moving closer. Draco sat on the edge of the bed and caressed Harry's cheek. "I thought my letter would have been more obvious..." he smiled.
Slowly, Draco leaned down until his face was just hovering above the other boy's. He held his breath and though to himself I must be barking mad to want to do this...but... He closed his eyes and gently pressed his lips against Harry's, leaving them there for what felt like a short and magical time until a hand roughly pushed him away.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THIS!?" Harry shouted, rubbing his lips and sitting up as Draco fell back and hit his head on a bed post.
"What is wrong with you?!" Draco retorted, rubbing his head.
"Me? You're asking ME that question? You knocked me out, brought me here, and then practically molested me!" Harry was still stiff from being stupified, and he had some trouble getting off the bed. Draco stayed on the floor, one hand on the spot where he was injured, and he was looking down. At first Draco was just stunned, he thought he had Potter where he wanted him. Then, it all started to hit him...Harry would tell, people would believe him, rumors would start...He panicked a bit, shutting his eyes tight as he fought back burning tears. He didn't even hear Harry ramble on about how pissed off he was about the situation as he got his movement back.
Harry was now standing at the door, trying to open it but it appeared to be locked and alohamora wasn't working. "Unlock the door Malfoy.." Harry growled and turned around. "I said open it you...you..." he blinked, he couldn't believe his eyes! There he was, Draco Malfoy, silently sobbing on the floor. Harry sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, looking down at the floor. He didn't know what to do!
Draco's hand reached up slowly and he unlocked the door. "Go away..." he whispered, taking a shaken breath. He was embarassed to be breaking down in front of Potter, so he stood up and screamed at him. "GET OUT!" his face was wet and he glared with much hatred.
Harry didn't feel bad anymore now that Draco was mad. "I don't see why you have any reason to yell...you're the one who knocked me out and dragged me here to do who knows what to me" he crossed his arms and smirked.
Draco grew furious, whipping out his wand and growling out "Crucio!" and a red line of pain shot at Harry but he didn't flinch, for a green shield protected him and the snake thrashed in anger. "How dare you try to sssstrike my masssster!" A long hiss came from Harry's ring and Draco's eyes turned dark.
"That ring was supposed to be mine..." Draco advanced and Harry stood his ground, reaching for his wand to find it wasn't there.
"Looking for something Potter? I'm not stupid, I hid your wand so you couldn't attack back when you woke up after I -"
"After you molested me you sick fuck" Harry interrupted, fists clenched. The air seemed to get cooler, and both of their energies clashed in the air and it seemed to become electric.
"I..did not...molest you..." Draco bit his lip as more tears streamed down his face, and he threw his wand down and lunged at Harry, who was still expecting his slithery friend to protect him. But nope, not this time...Draco made contact on the shocked Potter and they both fell to the floor. Punches flew, legs flailed as they both wrestled, each getting good hits on the other.
Hours passed and soon each were too tired and too sore to move anymore. They both sat there, panting and bleeding and rubbing their sore spots until Harry finally spoke up first.
"Why...?" he panted, taking a couple of deep breaths before licking his lips.
"Why what?" Draco replied, just as tired. He was surprisingly being pretty civil at the moment.
"Why did you...drag me here...like this...and kiss me?" Harry waited, and when Draco didn't reply he went on. "Are you gay?"
Draco turned away, as if trying to hide, and Harry was afraid he would start crying again. Harry rolled his eyes and shook his head, thinking Harry, why do you have to be so nice?... "I don't care if you are...and...I won't tell anyone" he was looking away and rubbing the back of his neck again.
Draco turned and looked at Harry, it was his perfectly imperfect moment to impose strongly...he tapped Harry on the shoulder and when he turned around Draco lunged at him. Their lips met, and Harry was on his back on the floor, eyes wide and struggling. His heart swelled with so many emotions, emotions he didn't understand. He felt as he had when he first kissed Cho, and it bothered him to the core. But...as they kissed, his mind began to think. He was getting the human affection and closeness that he craved and that no one was giving him. Draco was practically, if not literally, throwing himself at him and he finally broke away.
Once again their eyes locked. Green into gray. Confusion, lust, sadness, longing, and a connection shone and sparked. Their hands clasped together and their lips met yet again, but this time it felt okay.They layed there for a while, kissing tenderly and passionately until Draco's alarm went off, telling him that they missed all of their classes. He broke away from harry and rushed to his clock to double check. Harry sat up and fixed his glasses, unsure of what to do. He went to slip out but he heard other Slytherins and panicked a bit.
"Why didn't Crabbe and Goyle come...unless..." Draco panicked as he imagined the scenario in his mind. He and Harry snogging on the floor as his goons walk in and find them and tell everyone! He paced around the room, and stopped when he heard Harry cough.
"Sorry to bother you your highness" he mocked. "But is there a way I can get out of here without being seen?"
Draco looked over at Harry, and they both acted as if nothing had happened. "Um...yes...here" he led Harry to his bed and pushed it over to reveal a hidden latch. "I had it installed...in case of..." he didn't finish, but told Harry it led to the third floor corridor that was deserted. Harry thanked him before dissappearing. Their espionage together ended almost as soon as it started. Draco sat on his bed in shock, the golden boy willingly...snogged him. He brought up a hand to his lips and closed his eyes, and smiled.
As Harry walked through the corridor, his mind was swirling with thoughts and his heart was ready to explode with emotion. He too touched his lips, and smiled.
