"You can't turn back now Draco! You have to do it!" Harry urged.
"I don't want to," pouted Draco.
"You should have thought about all this before you made a bet you were sure to lose."
"I was not sure to lose! You cheated!"
Harry sighed, "We've been over this before, how could I possibly cheat?"
"Maybe you put me under a spell or something!" Draco yelled.
"Just shut up and do it."
"No."
"Draco! Why are you such a child!"
"I am not."
Harry sighed again, not in the mood to argue.
"If you really want to chicken out, I'm sure that we could come to some sort of a deal..."
"I am not chickening out!"
"Uh-huh," Harry replied incredulously.
Draco crossed his arms in front of him and began to pout. Harry rolled his eyes and threw his hands up in exasperation, "I give up, Draco!"
This statement made the blonde's eyes gleam and a smile spread across his face.
Just then the two boys heard footsteps approaching them from down the hallway.
"Quick, into the closet!" Harry whispered viciously, and dragged Draco into a small closet which was hardly visible, even if you were looking for it.
"How did you know this was here?" Draco asked, "and more importantly, why are we standing hiding in it if we haven't done anything to anyone yet? There's no reason to hide!"
Harry blushed and shrugged, "Just habit, I suppose, now shut up."
"Well... at least this is better than what you were trying to get me to do..."
Grinning, Harry said, "You know it would have been funny... I can already picture you in a tutu dancing in front of the teachers staff meeting..."
Draco scowled, his bright grey eyes gleaming in the darkness "You are sick and demented, do you know that?"
Harry shrugged again, but remained silent. The footsteps had stopped outside of the closet and two people were talking in hushed tones.
All that Draco and Harry could here from their secret spot were the few random and garbled words... such as "poison," which was slightly disconcerting.
"Why are they talking in the middle of a hallway!" Draco whispered to Harry. "That's not very logical, is it? Anyone who happened to be passing by could hear them!"
"Well... this does happen to be the hallway where the Bloody Baron walks around... and we all know that it's off limits to students... so perhaps not as many people as you would think would here them... all the staff are already at their staff meeting, and they come on this floor for those, because the Bloody Baron wouldn't dare mess with Dumbledore... and... well... all the staff are gone... so technically... a hallway is a very logical place to have a top-secret conversation about poison and such."
"Well... obviously not, because there are two people listening to them right now."
"But who would suspect two guys sitting in a supply closet that almost no one knows exists?"
Draco shrugged, and the two boys stopped talking immediately when they realized that the voices on the other side of the door had stopped talking, and the footsteps were receding.
Neither boy moved from their spot in the closet, until Harry said, "What am I leaning against?"
"Um... that would be a wall with some mops propped against it."
"Ah... and what is on my bum?"
Draco had the decency to blush and quickly moved his hand, "Nothing."
"Uh-huh..." was all that Harry said, not pushing the matter further.
"C'mon, let's go, you still need to show off your ballet skill to the teachers," Harry pushed against the door.
"What the...?" Harry muttered under his breath as the door refused to give way.
"What's up, can ickle-harry-poo not open the door?" Draco chided.
Harry responded with a low growl, quickly followed by an "oof!" as he ran against the door, in a feverish attempt to get it open.
The raven haired boy was sweating by now and looking rather scared.
"Calm down, Harry, it's only a closet..." Draco wasn't sure what to do... so he tried his hand at opening the door. "It must be locked from the outside... do you have your wand with you?"
Harry was sitting on the floor in the fetal position, muttering something about cupboards and locks.
"What's the matter with you!" Draco yelled.
Harry only looked up with terrified eyes, but managed to get shakily to his feet, and took out his wand, with a shaking hand, he whispered, a short spell to unlock the door.
There was a faint click, and Harry tried to open the door yet again, but it still wouldn't budge.
"They must have known we were here, and locked us in..." Draco contemplated.
Harry was shaking and turned around, seemingly surprised that the back of the closet was so close to him.
"Harry, calm down!" Draco ordered.
Harry continued shaking, but stopped trying to break down a wall.
All of a sudden, he stopped shaking, and grabbed onto Draco's hand. "Abi" he said. Draco was not sure what was happening. He had never heard of a spell like the one which Harry had just said.
"ABI!" Harry yelled, louder than the one before. Draco was caught up in a sensation of supreme cold, but the warmth of Harry's hand on his kept him from shivering. Energy crackled in the air, and suddenly, the door flew away, ripped from the wall, despite any magical moorings it may have had, and went crashing into the opposite side of the hallway. Harry stumbled out, following the door, and collapsed onto the floor of the hallway.
Draco, unsure of what had happened, dragged Harry away from the door and the closet, and muttered "repairo," under his breath, the door immediately fixed itself, and the wall, which had cracks running through it because of its run-in with the door, patched itself over. Draco didn't even have time to realize he had just done wandless magic. All he did was pick up Harry and carry him as swiftly as possible to their dorm room, where he waited for the savior of the wizarding world to finally wake up.
