A/N: Thank you Lisa for your review, you have no idea what it meant to me.
Believe me if I could have thought of anything better for them to fight
about I would have but I was at a bit of a block. If you can suggest
something better I would appreciate it sooo much. I just wanted them to
fight. :) I am soooo sorry I took so long but stuff that I couldn't control
has happened (woah that was bad gramma) but I hope the next one take so
long.
Harry was in the dungeon at 8:48pm scrubbing school cauldrons with Draco Malfoy who had apparently gotten in trouble with some other teacher but Snape offered to give him his punishment. And this is where we join our two favourite wizards (of course they aren't everyone's but just pretend they are).
"So. Potter why are you here?" asked Malfoy making conversation while Snape had left the room.
"Huh? This afternoon in potions... Weren't you there?" asked Harry trying to scrub bits of burnt potion from the bottom of one cauldron.
"No, I take it that you did something stupid as usual and got in trouble," drawled the blonde putting down his scrubbing brush and looking at Harry.
"And why are you here?" asked Harry trying not to get angry.
"Got caught getting ingredients from Herbology," said Malfoy.
"Ok more importantly why are you talking to me?" asked Harry suspiciously finally putting down his brush to look at his enemy.
Draco shrugged. "Boredom? Do I need a reason?"
"Well considering you have tried to kill me and have hated me since the beginning of first year I think I have a good reason to ask why you're voluntarily talking to me," said Harry.
"You do have a point there," said Malfoy.
They both went back to scrubbing just as Snape re-entered the room.
"No talking. This is punishment not a treat," sneered Snape looking straight at Harry.
"I hardly call scrubbing out cauldrons without magic a treat," said Malfoy just loud enough for Harry to hear.
"I thought you liked Snape," said Harry.
"No, he's a git. My father tells me to tolerate him because they're old friends," drawled Malfoy.
"Really? So why do you hate me?" asked Harry.
"I never actually said I *hate* you, Potter. You're just too stubborn to be friends with a Slytherin."
Will you two shut up!" snapped Snape.
"Sir it's nearly nine. Can we go yet?" asked Malfoy.
"Oh yes. At least I won't have to listen to you to talking for the rest of the night," said Snape leaving the room. "Lock the door behind you after you put those cauldrons away."
The two boys worked together putting the equipment away and locked the door behind them. Outside the door they looked at each other and Draco sighed.
"I guess we won't talk much anymore," he said.
"I guess not," replied Harry sadly. "It was kind of fun you know."
"Yeah it was. I guess you're not the total moron I thought you were. Don't get me wrong you are a moron," said Draco.
"Like you can talk," replied Harry and they both just started laughing like it was something hilarious.
"Pity you can't get over your ego or we could have actually been friends," said Draco turning to go down the dark corridor to the Slytherin dorms.
"My ego? It's you who has to do that. It's not like we can't get along," Harry said to Draco's back.
Draco just shrugged without turning around. Harry watched him turn a corner and disappear.
"Stupid Slytherin," he chuckled and walked to the staircase that would take him to his dorm.
While he was walking down the hall to the Griffindor portal he bumped into Hermione literally.
"How was detention?" she asked as if she was in a hurry.
"Erm," was all Harry got out before Hermione interrupted.
"Look I have to go but I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Where are you going?" Harry looked down to Hermione's hands but she carried nothing. He had half expected her to have books or something.
"Nowhere. The library and I won't be back til really late so I won't see you will I?" she answered looking passed Harry down the hall.
"I guess. Hey 'mione?" but it was too late. She had already pushed passed him and was already a few hundred meters away.
~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~
Harry pondered what had just happened carefully back in the common room. He was sitting in a big comfortable chair alone because everyone was already in bed. No one was supposed to be out of bed let alone out of the common room. It was against the rules and Hermione never broke rules by herself. There had to be a good reason for her to be out of bed so late and Harry was about to find out. He got up out of the chair and crept as silently as he could up to his dorm, this wasn't too hard because after years of practice at creeping through the Dursley's house to sneak food at night made him perfect at it. He went over to his bed and got out his invisibility cloak, wrapped it around himself and crept back out into the common room. It was now eleven o clock and Hermione still wasn't back. Harry had no idea how he was going to find Hermione when he had no idea where she had gone and that was hours ago so he just crept out the portal and went in the general direction she had gone in. Maybe she had gone to the library after all but wouldn't that be too much risk?
Harry wasn't watching where he was going and he walked straight into something causing him to fall flat on his butt.
"Who the hell is that?" whispered a familiar voice.
"Malfoy?" whispered Harry.
A/N: Well I hope that was a bit more exciting. I'm not sure but it took me a while to write. Please tell me if you enjoyed it or even if you didn't. Remember if anyone has any suggestions on how to change the fight between Harry and Ron I would most appreciate it. Don't forget to review.
