More than penpals chapter 5
"ELMIRA???? What are you doing here?!" He heard someone screaming. "Keep it down!!! One noisy couple is bad enough!!!" "Keep it quiet yourself Malfoy!!!" "Who are you to tell me to keep it down!!!" "If I say you have to keep it quiet, then keep it quiet!!!" "You are in sooo much trouble when I will come to kick your @$$!!!" Now other people started yelling to keep it down too. "Elmira, get out of my bed!!!" Harry yelled. She was probably the only one sleeping through the noise. If that wasn't bad enough, she began talking in her sleep about how great Dudley was. "Too bad he didn't want to come to wave Harry goodbye!" Harry was surprised. 'She wanted to wave me goodbye?! She can't! I'm going to a secret platform, so she cant! And how did she find me anywayz? That is a mystery that has to be solved… tomorrow. Now I am too tired.' He pushed Elmira out of his bed. She didn't wake up, and slept on the ground.
The next morning the door slammed open. "God! Your friends are still going at it! I haven't got a good night sleep!!! And… and.. Who's that?!?" Draco asked. Harry opened one eye, then the other. "Who's who?" Harry asked while grabbing his glasses. "That girl next to you.." Draco said. Harry looked beside him, "ELMIRA!! I PUSHED YOU OF THE BED! HOW COME YOU'RE SLEEPING NEXT TO ME!?" "Next? I'd prefer the word on…" Draco mumbled when Elmira rolled on Harry. "Can't breathe…" Harry squeaked. Draco went away, looking jealous. "I've come to wave you goodbye!" Elmira said happily, while giving Harry a big hug. "Yeah, I know, you talk in your sleep!" "Oh yeah! I know that! Dudley nagged about it all the time! That he couldn't sleep and stuff… Ah well! Screw Dudley! I wanna go with you!" "Whaddayamean go with me?!" "I want to be your girlfriend!!!" "Help me!!" Harry yelled, while running out of the room. He wanted to get in the room of Ron and Hermoine, but made up his mind, and ran into the room of Ginny and Neville, which was a bad choice as well. "God! Is everyone having sex around here besides me?!" Harry yelled. "I'm not having any!" he heard a voice, which belonged to Draco. "Well I don't care about you!" Harry said. "Well Draco, you could get some!" said Pansy, while putting her hands on Draco's private parts. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!" Draco walked to the nearest door, and got inside. "Damn!" "Bad choice?" Harry asked? "VERY bad…" Draco came out of the room. "Let me look!" Harry said while peeking into the room. "GROSS!!!" Harry said, while running to his bathroom. "Even Crabbe and Goyle!" Draco said. "I'm living in a nightmare!" Harry cried. "I'm sooo out of here!" he said when he grabbed his stuff and went to the railroad station. He was followed by Draco. "Why are you following me?" I'm not following you, I just have to go to the same railroad station." "Oh yeah.".
'This years is going to suck!' Harry thought as he went to find someone to talk with. The Hogwarts express was leaving in 30 minutes. "Hey! Where is everybody?" Seamus asked when he dropped his luggage next to Harry's.
"They aren't here yet, but they'll be here soon, I hope." he answered. "Okay!! How was your vacation?" "It was nice, a little boring at first. I have found a nice friend to write with." Harry told him. "Dean and I went to Canada!!" Seamus said. "You two are ehm.. ???" "NO!! He went we me and my parents." Seamus explained. "Thank god! Everybody has someone now…" "Well, I don't have anybody but I don't mind being alone." Seamus said. "Me neither..." Seamus and Harry sat together on a bench. Harry felt eyes pricking in his back. He looked over his shoulder, just to see Draco standing behind him. He turned red, and walked away. 'Wh... why is he staring at me?' Harry thought, feeling strange. "What's the matter, Harry?" Seamus asked. "N.. Nothing..." "I was just saying how great it is to be single!" Seamus went on and on and on about how great it was to be single, that Harry began thinking he didn't like it that much.
Finally, Ron and Hermione came through the gate. "Where were you all the time?!" Harry asked. "We had to shake off a strange girl, who on telling she was Dudley's girlfriend or something..." Hermione said. "Oh! I forgot about Elmira! Ah wel..." Crabbe and Goyle came through the gate now, accompanied by Pansy Parkinson. Pansy ran to Draco right away. "Hiii Draco! Missed me?" she asked, trying to kiss him. "STOP IT!" Draco yelled. "Why?" "I don't feel like being kissed by you!" "Oh.. Come on! Let's go and find a nice compartment!" Pansy suggested. "Yeah, you're right.." Draco, Crabbe and Goyle followed her. "We should go look for an empty compartment too! Don't you think Ron, dear?" Hermione said and they left together.
Everybody was now entering the train. Harry couldn't find any of his friends so he went to sit with Ginny, Neville and some fourth years. "Couldn't find Ron?" Ginny asked. "Yes… You don't mind if I join you?" Nobody cared if he sat there or somewhere else.
Harry felt as if all his friends were not liking him anymore. Hermione and Ron had become really close now, and the rest of his friends were also having girlfriends and boyfriends. Only Seamus and Dean weren't with someone, or Seamus had lied to him... He felt kind of lonely now, especially without his penpal. His penpal with whom he had shared his deepest secrets. But he had another secret.
One that he hadn't told a single person. It would be really embarrassing if someone would find out.
"Are you alright, Harry? You're so quiet and you look so sad." Ginny looked worried at him. "I'm fine, thanks! I'm just tired, I think I'll take a nap.." He closed his eyes and thought about his penpal, and about their meetings on the internet. He dicided he was going to find out who he was, so he thought of all the things he knew about him. 'Someone from the fifth grade… A boy, a gay, so he shouldn't have a girlfriend… He has still both his parents.. I think he's an only child…' this information didn't help very much.. There could be many boy's who fit with that description.
He wished that somehow he'd find out. And swore he'd dedicate this year to find out who his secret penpal was.
The train was almost on his destination. Harry and the others put on their school robes. He didn't want to leave the train, he didn't want to go into the racket the rest of the school made. It was nice and quiet in the train, but in school, the noise would begin. He was the last one to leave the train. Suddenly, Harry saw that the carriage with his friends was full. With whom would he be? Only one carriage was still with an opened door, so Harry jumped into it, falling on Draco Malfoys lap. "POTTER?!" Draco yelled. The two girls who were in the carriage aswel, screamed. "Shut up, Pansy, Millicent... It's Potter, not a monster... Oh wait, Potter is kind of scary, isn't he..." Malfoy looked at Harry. "Yeah, well, this was the only carriage with an open door." Draco saw the sad look in Harry's eyes. He didn't say what he wanted to say. If he did, Harry would know. And Pansy and Millicent too. And the next day, the whole school would know, so he didn't say what he wanted to say. He said something he *really* didn't want to say: "So, your friends don't like you anymore, do they? It took them a long time to figure you our..." The two girls laughed. Harry didn't say a word, but looked even more hurt. Draco wanted to do anything if that would make Harry happy. 'Why? How could they do this to me…' Harry thought. "But you don't have to worry about anything! Soon that mudblood will find out that Ron is an idiot and you'll be in the middle again." Draco said, sounding almost caring. 'He actually says something nice in a bad way!' Harry thought and gave Draco a little smile, even if he didn't want to. Draco smiled back but nobody noticed.
When they arrived at Hogwarts Harry didn't go to the great hall, but he ran into a corridor to be on his own and cry and being miserable. Suddenly, he heard a voice next to him. "What's wrong?" It was Nearly Headless Nick. Just what he needed, a dead person to talk to. "What's wrong?" Nick asked again. "Nothing…" "Yeah, right, that's why you're sitting here, crying. Come one, you can tell me! I won't tell anyone…" "Well, okay, all my friends are in love, and are having boyfriends and girlfriends. And I have noone. I feel like they don't like me anymore…" "That sounds really familiar! You know, when I was your age, and that was a long time ago, I had the same thing. All my friends were dating, and I, no one liked me. I was really sad, especially when they came to me and said they didn't want to talk to me anymore. I remember when…" "Er.. I think I have to go, Nick…" Harry interrupted. "Yeah, sure. Bye!" "Bye Nick! Talk to you later!" And Harry almost ran to the Great Hall. The sorting hadn't started yet, so he could go to his table without being embarrassed. He sat next to Ron, who was talking to Neville about Quidditch. "Hey Harry! Where've ya been?" he asked. "Oh, just talking to Nick. You had fun last night, hadn't you?" Ron turned red. "I… I'm so sorry Harry! I wanted to ask you… Er… never mind… Hey, have you heard about the Chudley Cannons?" They chatted about Quidditch the whole sorting and dinner, and then heard the password from a Head Boy that Harry didn't know. The password was 'Chameleon'.
Hermione and Ron went to the Common Room together, leaving Harry alone. So he decided to have a walk outside. He thought about his penpal, and about Malfoy who had been somewhat nice to him. He was so sunken into his thoughts, that he didn't notice someone walking towards him. He bumped up to the person. "Watch out!!" Harry yelled. "You watch out!" This voice? Could it be… Malfoy? What was he doing here? Alone? "What are you doing here?" Harry asked. "Walking… You should buy new glasses, the old ones are obviously malfunctioning." Draco said with a smile. Harry smiled too, he couldn't help it. Malfoy looked nice with a smile on his face. "Where are your friends?" Harry asked. "Dunno… I guess they are making love to each other or doing something romantic. You won't believe how romantic those two are… They're having romantic dinners with candlelight, and they send poems and love letters…" Harry started laughing. He couldn't help it. The picture of Crabbe and Goyle at a candle lit dinner was hilarious. To his surprise, Draco laughed too. Harry had never heard him laugh. It was a pleasuring and nice sound. Harry looked at Malfoy. This was the first conversation he had with him without insults and stuff. "What time is it?" Draco asked when he was ready laughing. "Dunno, my watch is kinda broken…" "Ah… Well… I gotta go, I think. Barky is following me, I think…" "Huh? Wait a minute, Barky? Who's Barky?!" "Don't you know? Barky Barkinson?" "No, haven't got a clue, sorry…" "Well, Pansy… We call her Barky, she looks like a dog…" Draco smiled again. Harry liked the way he smiled. He felt like he could get lost in the stormy eyes of the blonde guy. Then the words started to reach his brains… Pansy…? Barky? Harry started laughing. "It's a… really good… nick for her!" Harry had trouble saying it, because he was laughing so hard. If he hadn't placed his hand on this wall, he'd fall down… Wait a minute… Are walls supposed to be moving? And warm? Harry look up. His hand wasn't on a wall… His hand was on Malfoy's chest?! He jerked his hand back. Draco looked at Harry in a confused way. "Does he… Does he like me too?" Draco thought. "Er… I er… I think I gotta go! Bye!" Harry said, and ran away, leaving Draco behind. "There you are, Draco dearest!" 'My god, she sounds like an old lady saying that!' Draco thought. "Leave me alone!" Draco yelled, and ran away too. He was going to his room, to write Harry a letter. He was glad Harry didn't know he was his penpal, and he knew all his secrets.
Dear Harry,
I saw you today, crying. Why?
I don't like to see you sad! But this
evening you laughed. I saw it from out
of the window. You were laughing with
Malfoy! Why? Do you like him? I thought
you were enemies?
A lot of questions eh? Well, some good
news too! I've got some classes with you!
And if I talk about these classes, you could
find out which house I'm in! Aren't you glad?
^_~ I'm not gonna tell you who I am…
Not yet… ^_^ You'll find out sooner
or later, you're smart enough to do that…
I only hope you won't get disappointed…
Well, I'm going to stop now, I'm just gonna
go to the owlery to send this, and then
I'm off to bed…
Cya!
Me
Draco went to the owlery, and tied the letter to a paw of a large barn owl. Then he went to bed. He couldn't sleep though, he was thinking about Harry. He had a nice conversation with him. It was strange. All they ever did was being mean to each other, and now he had been nice. And Harry had touched him. He had got a strange tingly feeling from it, and he regretted it that Harry jerked his hand back. If only he could… But that would never happen. He and Harry would NEVER EVER be together. 'But what if… just quit it, Draco!' he thought to himself. Impossible. The son of one of the meanest Death Eaters and the Boy who Lived could never be together… But he wasn't responsible for the deeds of his father, was he? So maybe… With this thought and a smile on his lips Draco fell asleep.
Harry was thinking about the nightly meeting with Malfoy. He was rather funny! Barky! Draco would've come up with that name. Crabbe and Goyle were too stupid for that. 'He looks really good when he smiles…' Harry thought. 'Oh my god! What am I thinking? He's my enemy! He's stupid, he's bad, he's ugly, he's a good joker, he's kinda cute, he's nice, he's really funny, he's… Oh my god, Harry! Stop it!' Harry hit himself in the face, hoping he would stop thinking about things he shouldn't think about. "Ouch!" he whispered. "What?" He heard a sleepy voice of Ron from behind the curtains. "Just a mosquito…" Harry said… 'I hope I've got a letter from my penpal tomorrow…' Harry thought, just before thinking about Draco some more, and falling into sleep.
"ELMIRA???? What are you doing here?!" He heard someone screaming. "Keep it down!!! One noisy couple is bad enough!!!" "Keep it quiet yourself Malfoy!!!" "Who are you to tell me to keep it down!!!" "If I say you have to keep it quiet, then keep it quiet!!!" "You are in sooo much trouble when I will come to kick your @$$!!!" Now other people started yelling to keep it down too.
