The morning after

Malfoy was pacing, Malfoy never paced, but there he was. Pacing.

He was pacing in front of the entrance to the grand hall. He wasn't quite sure why though. There were two possible reasons for why he was doing this, one of them was that he was waiting for Potter and his entourage to arrive so they could all go in together, or he was building up courage to go in and sit with them.

One possible reason why this was his problem was that he wasn't sure if they were in the hall yet, he hadn't checked yet.

He was a bag of nerved from what had happened last night, both the moment he had with Harry, and the realisation that he wanted more moments like that with Harry. He started to bite his finger nails, another thing he never did, he had been nervous before, but never this kind of nervous.

"Malfoy!"

He stopped pacing, turned on the spot and looked towards the reason for his problem. Harry was walking towards with his signature smile on his face, where was Granger and Weasley?

"Hi Potter."

"You had breakfast yet?"

"No was waiting for you."

Harry's smile grew, where the Harry from last night, this person was all smiles, no hint at what Malfoy had seen. He decided to push this to the back of his mind and focus on the present, if Harry wanted to talk about it he would.

"So you hungry?"

"Starving!" Harry lead the way through the big doors and walked to where Hermione and Ron where sat.

"Morning!" Harry was apparently in a very cheery mood.

Ron looked at him concerned, "morning mate, you seem happy."

"Am I not allowed to be?"

Ron just rolled his eyes and went back to eating. Hermione was still looking at her friend concerned, apparently Draco wasn't the only one concerned about Harry's mood.

"So is everyone looking forward to potions?"

It was Ron who replied, "Does anyone ever look forward to potions?" this gained him an elbow to his side from Hermione. Which made Draco chuckle, they really were a cute couple.

"Well I'm partnered with you, so less looking forward to it and more dreading it" he sent Harry his signature smirk.

"Oh really?" Harry raised his eyebrow.

"You might have been the chosen one to defeat the dark lord but you weren't the chosen one when it came to potions."

"And you has that title?"

Malfoy just smiled at him, "Me of course."

"Of course"

They carried on this back and forth for the rest of breakfast, completely forgetting about Hermione and Ron who sat and watched the entire thing at first confused and then sending each other a knowing look.

The four of them walked to potions together but in pairs, Harry and Draco walking a little ahead of Ron and Hermione.

"Do you think they have any idea?" Ron whispered to Hermione, he had his arm slung over her shoulder making it easy to talk quietly enough for just her to hear.

"I'm not sure, but looking back don't you think it's been building up for years?"

Ron chuckled, "It has hasn't it."

Hermione sighed, "I just wish Harry and Ginny would make it public about their split."

Ron's face fell, the split had been hard on both Harry and Ginny. The split had happened a couple of months after the battle of Hogwarts. The end of the war had been hard on Harry, everyone could see it. He wouldn't eat, hardly slept and became very quiet and spent most of the time on his own. Ginny had tried to be supportive but he just pushed her away, they eventually agreed to end it but keep the split secret, Harry was still all over the magazines and they both thought it best to keep this away from the gossip columns.

"I don't think they want it plastered on the front of every magazine and everyone coming up with theories about why."

"Just imagine what it'd be like if those two got together."

"Draco's father would definitely hear about it."

They were still laughing as they walked into the potions classroom.
