Chapter 4: meeting

I walked up the winding stone stairs that night. I glanced at my pocket watch; 11:57. I closed it and looked at the large "M" with a snake wrapped around it. I hated being a Malfoy.

I finally reached the top of the stairs to find harry leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest directly in my walking path. As I walked closer a smirk grew more and more visible on his face. You would think he was a Malfoy.

He started to walk towards me as I continued to walk towards him. Our eyes were focused on one another's as we walked towards each other. Everything I was looking for I found in his eyes. We didn't need to speak. We just knew. Then, we both took ne last step towards each other. Our arms still lay at our sides while our faces met. My head turned slightly and I tried to find his lips with my own. They made contact so lightly that I wasn't sure if they were even touching. I moved one of my hands into his untidy hair and out the other one behind his neck. He put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to his body. I couldn't believe this was happening. I was snogging my sworn enemy. But why? I pulled back and moved over ot sit down on the floor and leaned against the wall. I put my knees up and wrapped my arms around them to pull them closer to me.

"what is it?" harry asked as he sat down next to me.

"Why?" I said as a reply.

"why what?"

"why are you so understanding about everything? About the curse and my father? We hated each other for six years harry! I was so mean! You just don't forget that." "of course I can't forget all that." He said as he put his hand on my knee. "but I CAN forgive. I'm so understanding because I know what it's like when you first find out. So much confusion. You don't know who to trust; who to tell. You can trust me draco."

"thanks harry. I hope I can tell people soon." I replied.

"it's a lot better. When you tell people, they have a chance to see the real you. they can see you the way I do."

I picked up my head and looked into his bright green eyes. I moved my face closer to him and kissed him again.

*****

I was on cloud nine as I walked back to the common room. Lucky filch wasn't out, because I was too happy to sneak around. I reached the portrait, it asked me the password, and I said, "cunning wit." The portrait swung open and I waltzed into the common room.

"where the hell were you?" a voice called.

I turned around to see who it was, but it was too dark to see anything.

"lumos." A second voice said. A flash of light came from a wand, then the room was lit up. I saw crabbe and goyle sitting in two arm chairs next to the fire.

I looked at them and sat down. "I was out, what's it to you?"

"don't fuck with us malfoy." Crabbe said harshly.

"yeah. We know you've changed." goyle retorted. "daddy take you off the curse?"

"no. I took me off the curse." My voice was full of hatred. It was amazing how fast my mood had changed.

"we know you were with him." crabbe stood up and me face to face with me. "so, you're a faggot now, is that it?"

I couldn't speak. I was terrified. What was I supposed to say in response to that? "yes, I am." My voice shook with fear as I spoke.

"too bad." Goyle said as he stood next to crabbe. "you could have been great, you know? The next dark lord people said. But voldemort won't let a queer into his inner circle."

'yeah, especially if you're fucking potter." Crabbe added.

I lost it. I completely snapped. "fuck you both! Don't bring him into this!"

"too late." Goyle smirked.

"what the hell did you two do?!" I demanded. I grabbed goyle's robes and yelled, "if you hurt him I swear, I'll fucking kill you."

"how do you plan to do that." He replied and pushed me hard onto the floor.

I fell and looked at both of them and ran. I had no clue where I was going to run to, but I had to get out of there. the words "find him" echoed in my head over and over again.
