Prompt "AU where they're both in high school, where Harry's known as a 'loner' and Draco's a new guy in school."


Harry met the new kid before anyone else. That wasn't something he said with pride or anything, because the idiotic blonde seemed to think that made them best friends. In reality however Harry wanted nothing more than to be left alone. He hated this.

"So my name's Malfoy." He twittered on behind Harry, "Draco Malfoy that is."

Harry really couldn't care less what his name was. He didn't plan on using it. And as he turned to tell him that, the unthinkable happened. He walked right into his ex–boyfriend Ron, current captain of well, everything. Great.

"Oh hey there Potter. Found yourself a new toy to fuck and destroy huh?" Ron gestured to Draco, "Least he's got a pretty face right?"

Harry opened his mouth to reply, but Draco beat him to it, "Well then, while I thank you for that pointed compliment, I am not in anyway, attracted to Harry. But apparently, judging by the fact you haven't spared him more than gentle stare while I receive a glare the entire time, you aren't over him. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's a little childish to consider yourself close enough to someone who doesn't want to be close to anyone but himself. Even I noticed that. I guess what they say is true – popularity makes you dense." Harry had turned to face him. Originally he'd wanted to tell him to shut up, but now he just wanted to see where this would go, "So that is in fact why I had hoped Harry and I would be friends. He seems like he'd have much more to say than 'I'm so cool because I play sports.' such as yourself. However he doesn't seem to be interested in being friends, and I don't stay places where I am not welcome. Perhaps you should follow my lead then." He smirked, then turned on his heel and walked down the hallway with his head held high.

Harry snorted, "I guess his company isn't that bad after all, eh Ron?" Harry dashed off after Draco.

When he caught up, Draco was sitting by the front door, "Oh thank God. I have no idea where I'm going."

Harry couldn't hold back a smile and a laugh.
