A/N: This is the next chapter. Remember this story is set out across an entire year, so there will be at least a few chapters. I am going to estimate 5-10, but that could differ. Enjoy!

Harry was annoyed. He was dumbfounded. But most of all he was nervous. First of all, he and Draco had been rivals since day 1 of the first year. Secondly, he didn't know how he could possibly end up with him out of the 150 something students. And finally, Harry hadn't been alone with Draco in any room since 6th year, when he hit him, with the curse.

"Can't you just SHUT UP" Harry yelled as Draco continued his annoying humming"

Can't you just calm the fuck down" Draco replied coolly.

Harry knew it was a lost cause, so he just silently continued his Potions work that had been delivered to his mailbox that morning.

Draco hated to admit it, but he felt saddened that Harry had ceased speaking to him, he did occasionally enjoy a civil conversation, even if it was with Harry bloody Potter.

Harry jumped up as a gentle tap came to his door on Tuesday afternoon. He had just arrived back from his Quidditch practice, and was relieved to have gotten out of his 'house'. He opened the door and his new owl Harvey had a letter in hand. The first scenario he thought.

"DRACOOO, hurry up and get your arse over here, the first scenario has arrived" Harry exclaimed.

"I'm coming you stupid prat" Draco snarked.

Harry tore open the letter and read aloud. "Good evening Mr Potter and Mr Malfoy. This is your first scenario for your task. Every couple receives a different scenario each day, but by the end of the year, you will have all completed the same list. Mr Potter and Mr Malfoy, your scenario today is to have one of you become unwell by taking this temporary illness draught, and your partner must nurse you back to health within the next 24 hours. Please send an owl back telling me who will be taking the role of the sick partner,

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Headmistress at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Harry finished reading and groaned. He knew he wasn't going to win this fight, so he immediately opted to be the sick partner, and Draco hastily agreed.

Harry took the draught while Draco owled McGonagall their decision, and immediately Harry began to puke, but because of Draco's ambitions to become a healer, he knew exactly what to do. He walked Harry to the lavish bathroom and bent him over the toilet while he fetched cold towels and muggle medicine Pepto-Bismal. He immediately gave the tablets to Harry who gratefully took them and then rested his head on Draco, who felt a weird urge to peck the raven-haired boys head, and so he did. Harry didn't mind though, and happily let the platinum-haired boy lead him to their bed, which they were obligated to share. Harry nestled into bed, and Draco brought him a bowl of hot broth and proceeded to sit down next to a sleeping Harry and continue his book.

Draco awoke the next day and realised that he had fallen asleep next to Harry and had snuggled with him for the majority of the night. When he went to feel for Harry though, no one was lying in his spot. Draco groggily made his way downstairs to a confused looking Harry sitting in an armchair. At least he was better, meaning that they had passed this task. Draco stood on the spot nervously and began "About last night-"

"What about last night?" Harry replied confusedly.

Draco had known it had been too good to be true. Harry was just sick, he didn't actually enjoy it. Draco didn't say another word, and instead opened the door to a cheerful-looking McGonagall, who immediately checked the couple off the list. She walked away optimistically, and Draco slammed the door. Maybe it was better if Potter didn't know what happened, so he didn't get any weird ideas. All Draco knew though was that this year was certainly going to be awkward if they kept receiving task like that. That didn't matter though, Draco had quidditch practise to attend.

Harry was confused. What had happened last night. All he knew was that he was sick and it was because of their task. Why was Draco acting so weird. What was going on. He watched Draco walk solemnly out the door and dropped the subject. Maybe it was better that way. Maybe it was better that he didn't know.
