A/N: Heylo all, thank you for all your loverly reviews, you're so sweet! I'm having a hard time believing I haven't been flamed yet, lol. Anyway, I wanna say sorry for having to change the summary, my best friend *glares at Emma* said that she will personally undertake decapitating me if I use the plot I was gonna use (it involved Draco and Ron switching places, and Ron dying in the end). But I have exhausted every little brain cell I have in coming up with a new plot (cuz I love my readers *that* much *bow*) and it now exists! But I will prolly be taking longer to update this, sry! Last thing, do ya'll dig the whole lemon thing? Cuz I can't write one, but if you really want I can get sum1 else 2. WHO WATCHED TRL??? DID YOU SEE THE ADORABLE ESSENSE OF ALL THAT IS PERFECT AND CUTE AND ENGLISH-LIKE THAT IS DANIEL RADCLIFFE? I wish I could take him home, you ppl have *no* idea how much I wish I could take him home, or even meet him, I JUST WANNA HUG HIM FOREVER! *Is in love with him* ok, I'm done, well not really, I'm just not gonna type the things I'm thinking.

Marionette- Thank you, that is so sweet! This wasn't supposed 2 b a funny fic, but, being a naturally random person, I just had 2 put the weirdness in, glad u liked it tho!

Disclaimer- nope, not mine, but I think u already knew that.. O right neither is REM, the flesh-eating bird is, and if you have trouble picturing that, here is a tip: think sesame street (which I also do not own).

~*~

Both boys stared in wonder at the open little chest. Inside lay a single yellow feather, glimmering despite the lack of light in the corridor for it to reflect. Draco quickly reached out a hand to pick up the feather,

"Stop!" Harry said, grabbing the blond by the wrist. "It could be dangerous you know!"

"Oh don't be ridiculous, it's a feather, what's the worst it could possibly do?"

"Mutate into a giant flesh-eating bird with plans to conquer the universe and eat everyone but the members of REM, who it would order to sing for it, in golden bikinis just like Princess Lea's in Return of the Jedi. You would be the first person it ate, you know," Harry said, gesticulating wildly in words like flesh-eating and bikinis.

"Why *Harry*," Draco offered, emphasizing the use of Harry's first name, "I didn't know you cared!"

"Did I mention it would probably want something to get rid of that Malfoy aftertaste, and that I am not a member of REM?"

"Listen, nothing's going to happen."

Before the Gryffindor could make any move to stop him, Draco had already reached for the feather, which he now twirled in his pale fingers.

"No bird, one less thing to worry about." Draco said, cocking an eyebrow and looking over at the raven-haired boy who was looking positively flabbergasted and annoyed. Even that looked good on him.

"How can you be this way?! Put it back, Malfoy!" ((A/N: the last part in the style of 'Give it here Malfoy' from the remembral scene in the first movie))

"No, I don't think I will. God knows how long it will be before someone passes by here again, it would be shame to leave this here to rot!" Draco said, putting it into his robe pocket. ((A/N: work with me here ppl, they COULD have pockets)) Harry sighed.

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you."

"Alright then, I wont." Draco said, sitting down on the dusty floor. He grinned remembering Harry's remark about the dust particles.only Harry.

"What's so amusing?" Harry asked, raising both eyebrows. Draco looked so incredibly content sitting there, 'He should smile more often,' Harry thought, 'his smile is contagious.'

"You're here with me." Draco said, before he caught himself. Realization hit him. This was bad.

"What?" Harry questioned. Yes, this was definitely bad. The desperate Slytherin boy opened his mouth for a response, any response but words failed him. 'How wonderfully convenient' he thought, and he would have laughed if not for the serious ruthlessness of this situation. There was only one explanation: God really hated Draco Malfoy.

"N-nothing," He finally managed. "I didn't say anything." Not one of his best responses but it was a vast improvement to the paralyzed gawking.

"No, no," Harry said pointing at Draco, "You.you said."

'Ha! At least I'm not alone in my inarticulateness!' Draco thought. 'I should leave before I say anything more stupid.'

"I should go." The flaxen haired boy offered, as he stood and started to walk away.

"Draco, wait," Harry said, grabbing his wrist again. It took Draco all the self control he could gather not to shiver at this innocent touch. "I.do you care about me?"

"Is this a joke?" Draco spat, suddenly very aware of his vulnerable situation.

"No, I just.it's just that.it was just a question!"

"Yes, ok? You win! You've found out the deepest darkest secret of my heart, now go and share with the mudblood and the weasel and his little weasel sister, the future Mrs. Potter!" Draco rambled on, and would have probably rambled longer if Harry hadn't stopped him with a finger to his lips.

"C-can I.kiss you?" Harry questioned gingerly.

Draco's eyes widened, this was not what he expected. He nodded dumbly, how could he say no? Harry leaned in, and their lips were nearly touching, their breaths mingled together. 'Maybe God doesn't hate me that much' Draco thought.

But before their mouths could meet Harry abruptly pulled away.

"I'm sorry, I have to go," he said, before running down the hallway.

'Wrong again' was Draco's last thought before he started heading back towards his dorm, absently running a finger over his lips, where Harry's had just been.

Yes, it is an evil ending, I'm sorry! It's just that now I have 2 have other stuff happen, I can't let them be happy just yet (as much as I would love to). Now go review! The king said if you didn't hurry, you'd spend the rest of your lives as houseflies! Or was it horseflies? AND THANK YOU LIZZ! You should all thank Lizz 2, for without her there would be only like 2 periods in this entire chapter.
