It took Draco a minute to open the door. When he did however he looked much more disheveled than he had before, like he'd just thrown himself together. Which I guess he kinda had. Draco went to see who had come to visit him at this ungodly hour thinking it might have been a student. He was very suprised to see the great Harry Potter outside his door.

Despite just having seen him secretly only a few moments ago. He looked a bit different now. For starters he had a shirt on now. Even if it wasn't properly buttoned. His hair was a mess. Not as messy as Harry's mind you. Draco looked Harry up and down face scrunching up into a frown. "What" he sounded slightly winded and very irritated. Harry didn't have an answer. Despite the fact that this was his idea he hadn't really thought about what he'd say. "I was just checking in to see if you were umm, doing anything" Harry stumbled along. Draco did not look impressed "Do you have any idea how bloody late it is right now Potter" He rolled his eyes moving his hair from his face. Harry rocked back and forth looking at his feet "Yes, right, my apologies, I'll be going now. Sorry for waking you" Harry swallowed beginning to turn away so he could return to his room at last. Draco rolled his eyes "Potter wait" Harry looked back at him. "It's freezing out here come in and have a cup of tea" he pinched the bridge of his nose. Harry agreed as Draco let him into his room pretending to have never seen the Inside before.

Draco motioned towards a small table with chairs for Harry to sit down. Harry glanced around once more "Wait you don't have a kettle or anything how are you going to make tea" Harry tensed up uneasy. "Magic Potter, maybe you've heard of it" He replied sarcastically magically revealing two teacups. Harry narrowed his eyes at him Draco returning it with a smug smile. Draco opened the drawer and grabbed two bags of tea. He set them individually in the cups before adding water.

"So how are you going to boil the water " Harry asked genuinely curious. Draco looked at Harry very proudly and lit little magic fires underneath the tea cups. Harry jumped back in shock causing Draco to laugh slightly "You really are muggleborn aren't you" he said trying to conceal his laughter. Harry glared at him taking slight offense to the comment about his blood, Draco took notice and stopped his laughing.

"Sorry Potter" He said "but your reaction is honestly the funniest thing I've seen all week" Harry's glare softened at his words remembering the gash on the arm where his eyes had now fallen. When Draco noticed Harry was looking at his left arm he covered it with his right and looked at Harry. Harry gazed up meeting his eyes swallowing awkwardly "can I have some milk please". Draco dropped his arm "that I don't have, but have as much sugar as you'd like" Malfoy appeared to be trying to charm Harry in some way. He was honestly a little concerned by it. 'Was Malfoy trying to poison him' He thought to himself as Draco sat down across from him. Despite not having put anything in his tea Draco began to stir his. Harry looked at the untouched bag of sugar cubes sitting to his left. Even if he felt a little bit sorry for Draco, did not mean he trusted him and since it appeared that Draco would not be having any sugar in his tea. Then neither would Harry.
Harry very defiantly picked up his cup and took a big sip. Forgetting that it was scorching hot. Don't worry though, he soon remembered ^^~.

Harry coughed quite a bit as he quickly sat back down his cup mouth burning. Draco was trying very hard not to laugh at his complete and utter stupidity "Well Potter, what did you expect to happen taking a huge gulp like that. Harry Glared in response. Draco took a small, sip from his cup.
"What kind is it" Harry asked Draco gave a smug smile "oh could you not tell when you drank it" He showed his pearly white teeth. Harry clenched his lower jaw as Draco just kept on smugging. "It's Chamomile" he answered dropping the smile " I'm not the biggest fan of fruity tasting teas but I've heard it helps with other problems" He said setting his cup down and crossing his arms. "Like what" Harry asked "Well like" Draco shifted in his seat "Well it doesn't really matter does it, I like it" He said avoiding the answer. Harry was sure that there was more there, but he wasn't sure what. He just really wasn't much of a tea person. "Well I honestly can't tell the difference between teas I'm just not much of a tea person really " he stared to Draco "oh really, I'd never of guessed" Draco replied sarcastically. Harry took a sip of his tea. A small one this time having learned his lesson.

"So Potter" Draco started, "why are you here" he asked suprisingly with light suspicion in his voice. "Well as I said" Harry began a little awkwardly "I just wanted to see if you were doing alright" Harry rubbed the back of his neck sounding slightly embarrased. Draco quirked an eyebrow at Harry "And why wouldn't I be" Draco took a sip from his tea extending his pinky. Harry's face slowly turning red in what looked like embarrassment. At least that's what it would look like to Draco as Harry stumbled over his words trying to find the right response. Though in reality his face was red because he couldn't think of an answer to the mostly rhetorical question. "Well, I, I simply noticed that you've been spending a lot of time in the infirmary lately. So I was worried" He got quiter as the sentence drawled on becoming more and more embarrassed.' He was going to send off the vibe that he cared' Harry thought to himself 'it's not intentional' he swore 'because I'm definitely not'. But then remembered the image of Draco's arm once again, 'truth is though.. He is a little worried' he just doesn't want to admit It. Draco could see the slight sense of sympathy and worry in his eyes even if tried hiding his face through his hands and messy hair. The sight almost made his blood boil. Potter pittying him like he was some hurt child. He didn't like it when they were school and he most certainly didn't like it now. But looking at Harry's face Draco saw that he looked more sincere and less pittying then when they were kids. He looked concerned for him but not sorry for him. Potter looked almost pathetic. That made Draco feel a little bit better. "And here I thought you said you weren't stalking me" Draco smirked knowingly at Harry. 'Shit' Harry thought to himself 'he'd just given himself away, he needed to quickly think of a cover or a witty retort'. " I don't have to stalk you to know you spend a lot if time in there" Harry crossed his arms "What, does Mrs Pomfry have a cute new assistant you like to visit or something" he asked slouching slightly in his seat. Draco rolled his eyes at Harry's complete and utter lack of manners. "First of all that doesn't dispute the fact that you've been stalking me because I'm still not convinced that you aren't. Second no and even if she did they'd be quite a bit to young wouldn't they Potter".
"Your not that old Malfoy" Harry scoffed "well I'm older then you" Draco smiled teasingly before taking a sip from his tea cup that was now almost empty. "By a month" Harry pointed out sharply. Draco smiled "Didn't Mrs. Weasley ever teach you not to talk back to your elders" Harry accidentally let a laugh escape his lips. When he realized what he'd done he instantly raised his hand to cover his mouth Draco smiled at him. A genuine smile it was a nice change to Draco's usual scowl or cruel grin and it was definitely much better then tears.

Harry finally tried taking another sip from his own tea cup "It's bitter" he frowned being able to actually taste it this time now that it wasn't scorching. "Probably because you didn't put any sugar in" Draco suggested pushing the bag of sugar across the table to Harry. Unfortunately he still wasn't interested he didn't still didn't trust him not to poison him, and he knew damn well that Draco was capable of it. Not from his own personal experience of course but will just say it's up to observation. Of course it's the observation of people getting hurt and almost dying but... Draco had never tried to poison him personally so far. He crossed his arms 'he still wasn't touching that dammed sugar though'. Draco lightly read Harry's body language "Fine then, it'll stay bitter" he said rolling his eyes. "But honestly, why do you spend so much time in the infirmary" Harry asked once more hoping he'd open up. Draco turned his head staring at the wall to the left a slight pink shade gracing his cheeks. "Wait it's not actually a new assistant is it" Harry raised an eyebrow acting as if he knew nothing. Draco still refused to answer, keeping his head turned. "What's her name" Harry tried drinking again smiling silly even if he knew the proper reason why Draco was always there. The idea of Draco crushing on someone made him happy, because then he could pretend that Draco hadn't cut himself, no matter what the reason was. "For your information Potter I don't go crushing on random medical assistants, Mrs. Pomfry also doesn't have one" Draco mumbled the last little bit "Well then why else are you always in there then, don't tell me your really that accident prone" Harry says contining to push for information. "Oh like you have room to talk" Draco retorts "What's that supposed to mean" Harry asks sounding slightly offended "you Potter are the most accident prone person I have ever met" Draco scoffs. Harry tries to come up with a reasonable response but unfortunately he has to face the fact that well, Draco was right. "Wait a minute" He began "what about Neville" Harry suggests "Longbottom typically had people do those things, yours were and still are all on your own" Draco replied reasonably.

Harry scowled straightening his posture "You still haven't answered my question" Draco let out an amused breath "No and I really don't have to, unless I'm unaware of some interagation or something. In Which case do I get to ask you invasive questions when your done" Harry often forget how sarcastically charming Draco could be when he wanted to be. "How is asking why you're in the infirmary a lot an invasive question" Harry asked not able to understand "because your asking about my medical record Potter, for all you know I could have Astma" Draco replied staring pointedly at Harry. "Well do you" Harry asked "That's none of your business Potter" Draco rolled his eyes "I get that your the chosen one but you still don't get to know everything just because you want to or are suspicious". "Who said I'm suspicious" Harry exclaimed Draco glared at him as if he was stupid in reply "It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist". "Wait, how do you know what a Rocket Scientist is" Harry raises an eyebrow in confusion. "Muggle studies" Draco replies "you didn't take Muggle Studies" Harry points out "No I didn't but I have students that are, so I find it respectful to know a little bit about there home" Draco explains. "So it wasn't respectful to learn about the home of your classmates" Harry narrows his eyes "No, because interacting with them wasn't mandatory" Draco smirks. "Well it should be" Harry says sounding exasperated "Perhaps you should mention it to Mcgonagall then" Draco suggested 'huh' Harry made a sound "Or you could change the seating arrangements of your classroom so they can't choose who they sit next to and are forced to interact with eachother. Just sit all the 'Pureblooded Brats' with the Halfwits and Muggle children" Draco smirked "My class doesn't usually use seating arrangements, especially since we don't usuallys use chairs, or seats" Harry counters. " Guess you can't make it mandatory then" Draco shrugs.

"Well I could if I was head of a house" Harry says "But you're not, Mcgonagall gave that position to Longbottom" Draco said trying to get under his skin. "And she made a good choice" Harry said "he's a good person and he's taught here longer then us" Harry says trying to sound like the least bit annoyed. "Well at least Gryffindor has a head of house" Draco says drinking the last of his tea. Slughorn had become the head of Slytherin after Snape died but he had retired right before Harry had been hired, hence why Draco got a job too. But despite the obvious choice Slytherin had been headless for a while now. Ravenclaw still had Flitwick and Hufflepuff had found somebody. (okay so I have no idea who became Head Puff after Sprout can't find anything ethier so un named) But Slytherin still remained the way it was leaving many teachers and students confused and worried. Slytherin had never had the best reputation and it had only gotten worse in recent years (recent being the past 20 to 30) so the fact that the Headmistress of Hogwarts wouldn't assign a new post made some people think she was sending off some kind of message.

Though the real reason behind to which nobody knew including Harry and Draco was simply, she didn't know who to choose. Draco was the obvious choice being from Slytherin and all but Mcgonagall had been really striving for house unity in her years as Headmistress. So Draco wasn't quite right in her opinion. She'd been strongly thinking about Harry was Harry and probably not a good idea considering his short temper which he'd inherited from both of his parents. So that's the real reason that they're currently was no head of Slytherin house. Not some huge conspiracy and loosely vailed prejudice, and no Luna nobody is a lizard, don't touch that.

Harry glanced over to the clock that Draco had on his wall to check the time, it read 4:40 am. He'd stayed talking to Malfoy for an hour at the very least, not to mention all that time he spent waiting for him to show up.
" I really need to get back" he said to Draco whileb getting out of his chair, Draco glanced over to the clock aswell "yes I suppose you do". Draco got up and walked over to his door opening it for Harry. Harry slowly walked out the door and into the hallway "Goodnight Draco" he said taking said person slightly aback. Draco disappeared for a moment not closing the door then reapered in his basic over the clothes robe. "What'd you do that for" Harry asks curiously "well I'm not bloody well letting you walk back alone" Draco replies "bad things tend to happen when we let you do that". "It's just to my room Malfoy it's not like I'm going to Hagrid's or anything" Harry rolls his eyes "yes and the whole school has heard the stories of where you end up while trying to go to your room" Draco responds trying to sound reasonable "plus your probably also tired". "You're tired to I know for a fact that you haven't-" Harry cut himself off Draco raised an eyebrow at him smirking with his arms crossed "oh?". Harry swallowed face turning red "As I said I'm walking you back" Draco said smugly locking his door.

The walk to his room was quiet and awkward him and Draco walking at least two feet apart from each other at all times. When they did get his room however Harry was even more awkward if you can believe that's possible. That made Harry feel a little bit embarrassed because he was an adult and he should have grown out of his weird awkwardness by now. If he wasn't fighting some dark creature or reaching his class he was always the stupid awkward kid in the back with dead parents. Except now he's an adult, and a teacher, merlin they'd been standing here awhile. "What are you still doing here" Harry says to Draco remembering exactly where they were "It's your room what are you still doing in the hallway, waiting for a teacher". Harry turned and pointed at his door " Oh wait, am I supposed to invite you in or something" Draco laughed "don't flatter yourself Potter I'm just making sure you don't get lost and since your here I'll be returning to my own room. He went to turn away but paused for a moment " Goodnight Potter " he said softly" Goodnight Malfoy" Harry replied before retreating into his room to gain just a few hours of sleep. He changed into his pajamas and buried himself under his covers eyes closing Draco Malfoy not to far from his thoughts as drifted off to sleep.
