So, I can't believe it. I've actually done a second chapter. I'm impressed by myself. Nah, that sounds a bit too arrogant. Actually I think this chapter's crap compared to the first.
The beginning is stupid and doesn' t really fit, and so does the end, but I was at a loss for something better.
Please r/r
Note: Thanks to Pepsi who reviewed chapter 1*hugs*
Change of heart #2
Slowly, I wake up. I see you lying on the Sofa beside me and smile. We must have fallen asleep in front of the fire. I don't want to wake you up, but I have to.
The other Gryffindors wouldn't be pleased to see Draco Malfoy sleeping in their common room. But I'll give you another five minutes, you sure need your rest. We both do. The Quidditch game yesterday was strenuous and wore us out completely.
Playing Quidditch is great, but playing against you makes me want to cry out loud. We could be great together, if we were on the same team.
I remember the first time we flew. You had just told me that you didn't hate me.
Falashback
"Harry?"
Harry spun around, looking surprised. He frowned as he saw who had adressed him.
"Malfoy, what are you doing here? Spying on our team?" He sounded angry and Draco flinched. This wasn't going to be easy.
"A..actually, I just wanted to talk to you" He said hesitantly and a lot more uncertainly than the usual Draco.
"What would you want to talk to me about? I can't think of anything you'd want from me." He didn't seem to wait for an answer and wanted to turn and go when Draco spoke up. It took him all the courage he had to form the words.
"I... You won't believe me...but I... Look I thought about you a lot...well...and I...see I don't hate you anymore. I actually never did really do so. I was simply envious and you know... I'm not anymore and there's no reason not to like you and... I'm sorry. I want to make up for the things I've said and done to you. Friends?" He held out his hand, uncertain how Harry would react.
End Flashback
I couldn't believe you, I would have been stupid if I had, but your eyes told me to trust you. It confused the hell out of me and the only thing I felt I could do was run from you.
I was sure you'd boast about me fleeing from you in your house and all over the school, but that didn't matter. At least we would have been back to status quo then.
You had come to me after quidditch practice, so I had still got my Firebolt and I wanted to get away. I kicked off into the air, just wanting to bring as much distance between us as possible. But I hadn't expected that you would grab a broom and come after me. Once you came near enough you got hold of me and held me back.
"Wait, I need to talk to you!" You yelled over the wind, "Don't run away... like I have done so often" The last words were spoken so softly I cold barely hear you, but they hit me like a bludger. It was impossible. Draco Malfoy, admitting that he had done so much as RUN AWAY from something? To me? I thought you had gone insane. Either that, or you were really telling me the truth. I felt I had to give you a second chance and so we talked.
You told me everything about how you loathed me. How shocked you were when you realised you were just envious without a reason and how it had tormented you to keep this to yourself. I understood that; how it feels to have no one to talk to. The urgency and desperation in your voice spoke volumes, as you poured out your heart and soul to me. I knew you needed someone to help you but I couldn't quite get used to the thought that it should be me. I mean, we were sworn enemies for more than four years.
I told you that I wasn't sure about this whole new situation, and that I needed some time to sort things out. And so you let me take my time to think. All the while I saw your efforts to be nice, to change yourself from the mean bully you were to someone liked, caring. You became a totally new person.
I found the right time to settle things between us once and for all was when our next Hogsmeade weekend came. Nearly everyone was out and so we could meet in my dorm. We talked some more and met again. And again...
We learned to know more about each other, and discovered all the similarities between us. I was glad it had turned out as it had. It was perfect when Ron and Hermione accepted your apologies and we now were four freinds. No one cared about what had been anymore, at least none of us.
It was hard to endure the intense dislike and enmity the Slytherins now held for us, but we went through that together. That's what friends are for.
I trust you now, with everything I have. The hate we both felt for each other when we first met had been overcome by friendship, and the knowledge that we had managed to break down those barriers only strengthened it.
It means so much to me, that I sometimes feel there could be more about it, but I don't want to ruin everything. I am content, with what we have right now.
As I see how happy you look, just being here, I know that it is more than anything any of us would have hoped for.
~end~
Phew...that's it. I already have an idea for a sequel but I'm not sure if I will do it. It would be yummy Slash then^^ Anyway, hope to see you soon, with some new story of mine up^^
Love Milly
