Chapter 2: Lay your hands over me

"Harry!" Ron yelled to the end of the hall, concern and worry filling his voice when he saw his friend sitting there his head against the cold brick. Ron ran up to Harry and bent down next to him. "Harry what happened?" Ron asked. He watched as Harry looked up slowly and began to stand up.

"Nothing Ron. I am fine." Harry turned to Ron and smiled at him.

"Then why were you on the floor? And what happened to your face?" Harry frowned and lifted his hand up to his bloody cheek; he groaned and began to wipe the blood off with the sleeve of his black robes.

"It was just…oh nothing. Look the thing is I am ok. So can we drop it?" Ron clenched his fist and pushed Harry against the wall in an almost violent way.

"No Harry. No, I will not drop it. I want to know what the hell is going on with you. Oh and I found a letter in our room…care to guess what it said?" Ron watched as Harry's face fell and looked to the ground. "No? Well let me tell you. It was a letter to Neville saying don't tell anybody especially Ron about what you saw last night. Please. I cannot believe you! Neville knows something about you and you are keeping it from me! Your best friend!" Ron stepped back, taking his hands off Harry's shoulders, afraid he might cause a bruise.

"Look Ron."

"No Harry you look. First I want to know why you were on the ground and why the hell is your cheek bleeding?" Ron waited as Harry closed his eyes and brought his hand up to his cheek as though he had forgotten the cut was there.

"O.k. I ran into Crabbe and Goyle we got into a little argument and…oh just forget it."

 Ron growled in anger and frustration with his best friend. "Forget it Harry? Fine we'll forget it but when I see those two idiots…and was Malfoy with them?" Ron thought he saw Harry smile at the mention of his nemesis's name, but Ron was sure he imagined it.

"No." Harry said he voice sounding weak and tired. Ron almost felt bad about what he was putting Harry through, but he felt he had to know what was going on.

"O.k. look Harry I am going to ask you this last question…and then we can forget this ever happened. What were you and Malfoy doing that night I saw you out by the lake?"

Ron watched as Harry stepped away from the wall and turned his back.

"Fine let's forget about Ron." Harry said as he began to walk away

"Hold it! I want to kn-" Ron watched as Harry turned around with a smirk on his face. Ron felt his breath stop when he realized just how much that smirk looked like Malfoy's.

"You never said I had to answer the question. You just said you were going to ask it." With that, Harry walked down the hall and towards his common room, leaving Ron speechless for once in his life. It was then that Ron realized that this was the second time someone had left him alone in the hall to wonder what had gone wrong.

~*~*~*~*~*~

As Harry was about to say the password, he felt a soft nudge on his shoulder.  He looked over and saw the small owl he had enlisted earlier to deliver the letter to Draco.

"Back so soon?" Harry asked with a amused tone in his voice. He started to laugh when he saw the owl puff out it's small chest as though he were important. Harry untied the letter off his leg and stroked his feathery chest lightly. Soon the owl took off, heading towards the owlery. Harry watched it leave and opened his letter slowly. He could feel his heart beating at an incredibly fast pace when he saw Draco's small and neat handwriting near the bottom.

Love, meet me at our secret place as soon as you can. Now if possible. I need to speak with you… oh bloody hell…I just want to see you. Please hurry. Love, D.M.

Harry smiled and folded the letter quickly, hoping nobody saw him. He turned towards the portrait and said the password. Once the door opened, he scrambled in and bumped into someone.

"Oh I am sorry." Harry said out of breath

"No Problem Harry." Harry smiled and nodded towards Neville.

"Hey Neville. I needed to talk to you but can we talk later?" Harry smiled and began to walk upstairs as Neville nodded and walked out of the common room. Harry rushed into his room and tore off his robes which had been torn by Crabbe. *That idiot* Harry washed off his face and put on new clean robes that he had bought at Madame Malkins Robe shop just last weekend. Harry checked his reflection in the mirror then headed out of the common room once more.

~*~*~*~*~

As Draco walked closer and closer to the secret hiding place, he felt himself smile at the thought of being with Harry. As Draco neared the wall, he felt someone pull on his right shoulder and turn him around so that he was face to face with…

"Weasley…?" Draco watched as Ron nodded and gripped his robes harder "What are you doing here?" Draco asked annoyance filling his voice. "Are you stalking me Weasley because sorry to tell you…you are not my type…I do not go for poor dirty filth that is not fit enough to be called a house elf." Draco stood there and waited for Ron to say something but instead Ron pulled his left arm back, and Draco saw he was about to punch him. Draco did the only thing he could think of; he his eyes and ducked. Draco could feel the wind blow past him as Ron's fist barely missed him.

"What the hell do you think you are doing Weasley? I could sue you for this!"

"What the hell am I doing Malfoy? I am doing the same exact thing you and your little cronies did to Harry!" Draco was so shocked, he did not think to duck in time before Ron's fist came in contact with his cheek.

Draco suddenly felt the pain go throughout his face. His first instinct was so punch Ron till he was a bloody mess, but the thought of what Harry would think kept him from doing such a thing. Before Ron could punch him again, Draco held up his hand as though to surrender.

"Look…Ron what do you mean? What happened to Harry?" Draco asked his face filled with worry although Ron took no notice to this.

"Let's just say they beat him up so bad he could barely talk about it! And don't act innocent Malfoy! I know you probably sent them out to stop him from playing in the quidditch game next week!" All Draco could do while Ron was speaking was close his eyes. *I'll kill those bastards…* he thought as Ron finished saying his piece.

"Look Weasley…I never did anything of the sort. I would never hurt Harry." Ron looked up in surprise at the sound of Draco calling him Harry. As Ron looked up into Draco's eyes, he saw they were misty and he looked as though he were about to cry. He seemed to be telling the truth although Ron wasn't so sure.

Draco sighed as he felt Ron let go of his robes and walk away without saying a word.

"Harry wait up!" Hermione shouted as she saw her best friend turn a corner down a deserted hallway. As she ran towards him, she noticed he seemed to be in a rush. His face was flushed as though he had been running or blushing perhaps.

"Harry what are you doing down here?" She asked catching her breath. She saw Harry shrug as though to casually say 'nothing'.

"I was just goin for a walk." Hermione heard him answer in a suspicious voice.

"Down a deserted hallway?" Hermione raised her eyebrow and tucked a strand of frizzy brown hair behind her ear.

"Yeah…"

"Harry Ron is right you have been acting strange. What is going on with you?" Hermione asked trying to put her hands on her hips but finding it difficult seeing as her hands were occupied with a few heavy books.

"Nothing Herm. I just…have been wanting some alone time you know." Harry said in a rush as he looked around at the brick walls.

"O.k. Harry…well I am going to the common room. Care to join me?"

"No…I mean er I want to but I have to do something." Hermione frowned and turned around with a huff.

"Fine Harry be that way." With that, she left a very confused Harry Potter in the dark hall. She continued to walk away but soon felt she had been a little hard on him; she turned around to apologize, but he was no where to be seen.

*How strange* she thought as she turned back around and left the now empty hall.

Well there is the second chapter…I dun know if it is good but I hope you think it is! J
