It's almost vacation! Almost! I do wonder if I can update while I'm
away...Hrm...o_o We shall see. If I can't update for two weeks, please
forgive me! I will be back to finish up my story!
Harry strode into the great hall in the last ten minutes of lunch with a broad grin on his face, and promptly after he sat down next to Ron he began shoving food in his face. Ron started at him, a piece of bread halfway to his open mouth. "Felling better then?" said Ron, his voice filled with sarcastic amazement.
"Yea! I'mb fulling gureat!" Said Harry through a large mouthful.
Hermione smiled and thought to herself 'So it's working out then.' She patted Harry jovially on the back and said "That's good to hear!"
Before heading out of the hall for Potions Harry turned toward the Slytherin table, his cheeks tingeing slightly pink. He grinned and set out for the dungeons with Hermione and Ron.
All during potions Harry was fidgeting and keeping his eyes down. Even though his eyes were constantly locked on his potion, he still managed to mess it up. His potion that was supposed to be a deep crimson red was seeming very watery and pinkish. "Looks like you added too many salamander eyes..." said Hermione leaning over. "You'll need to balance that out with one more dragon scale." She continued.
Harry looked around the long table at his potion ingredients that were strewn about, but his face fell when he picked up the cloth bag with his dragon scales and found it to be quite empty. Hermione shrugged, turning her empty bag over and giving it a shake.
"Here you go, Harry." Came a familiar voice from behind him. Harry blushed deeply as Draco dropped a large dragon scale into his potion.
"Harry?" said Hermione, a faint smile on her lips.
Draco tried to narrow his eyes, but he couldn't hide the faint smile he had on his own lips.
"I'll see you guys in a minute." Harry said, waving to Ron and Hermione and branching off for the entrance hall as they headed for Gryffindor tower.
"Why?" asked Ron.
"I didn't get very much food at lunch. I'm going sneak to the kitchens and see if they might have a snack for me."
"Okay then!" said Ron smiling. "Bring me back an éclair!"
"Okay, I will." Said Harry waving once more and heading down the stairs. In truth he was hoping to catch Draco heading for his common room. He hopped quickly down the stairs, but his heart fell as he reached the bottom and he found the hall deserted. He sighed and made his way for the kitchens. Tickling the pear on the large painting, he was about to turn the green handle it had turned into when he heard Draco's voice.
"Harry? What are you doing down there?"
"What are you doing here?" countered Harry without thinking very much of what he was saying.
"My common room's that way" said Draco, pointing to a corridor that branched off the one he and Harry were now in.
"Oh. Heh. Right." Said Harry laughing.
Draco smiled and walked over to him. "So, what is it that you're doing down here, Mr. Potter?"
Harry blushed and smiled. "I was going to nick some food from the kitchens."
"Really? You can do that?" said Draco, obviously interested.
"Yeah..." said Harry, nervously shuffling his feet. "Listen...I just wanted to...I wanted to..." He lowered his head to hide the bright red blush in his cheeks. He took a few clumsy steps forward and wrapped his arms around Draco's neck.
"Is that the best you can do, Harry?" he said softly, his arms still at his sides.
"Don't make fun of me." He said into Draco's shoulder. Draco smiled.
"It'll have to do." He said, wrapping his arms around Harry's back, and holding the other boy tightly to him.
