Look like th'serpent, but be the innocent flower under't
A/N: Looky looky! I updated with something resembling speed! I promise a long scene someday but I'm still shocked I've written more than one chapter! That's about as far as I normally get with any fan fics! Anyways thank you for all you gorgeous people who reviewed! *big squishy hugs and sloppy kisses*

"Malfoy," hissed Harry bitterly as Draco's wand pointed maliciously at his head. Harry failed subtly to take his wand from his robe and it was now vibrating uncomfortably in Draco's other, slightly sweating, palm.
Harry thought he could handle Malfoy and, not for the first time, he was regretting ignoring Hermione and Ron. He and Draco had strolled a few paces down the corridor outside the Great Hall when Draco turned sharply and raised his wand, a smile of a successful conquest present. His own failure to salvage the situation and worst of all to have his wand taken from him meant Harry was disgusted with himself and he hated Draco more for it.
"A favour, Malfoy? May I ask how this is beneficial to me?" Harry tried to appear relaxed, calm and collected, failing miserably as a bead of sweat ran down his face.
"Fuck you and your Gryffindor pride, Potter. Yes, I am doing you a favour," Draco growled. "Reverto!" Harry's hair immediately began to change back to his normal colour of jet black though sadly the charm also removed any gel attempting to keep it under control. Harry stomped past Draco, bashing spitefully into his shoulder and began to head towards the Gryffindor tower while desperately trying to calm his tousled mop. Draco laughed uncharacteristically loud and joyously as he watched causing Harry to march back tartly to where he had previously stood, hatred boiling his blood.
"My wand, Malfoy!" Draco stepped towards him, putting both wands in one hand and patted Harry's hair into place. Abnormally, it stayed.
"Must be my magic touch," Draco winked and raised one eyebrow curtly. Like Mr Charmless could have a magic touch, Harry scowled half-heartedly. "Don't scowl, Harry," Draco cooed. "It's unflattering and besides, at least now your hair doesn't clash with that ridiculous, ugly, red scar of yours." Harry ignored him and, strangely, his mood lightened.
"Why, Malfoy?" he resisted the temptation to address him as Draco. Why should he?
"Why do you always want reasons and explanations for everything? Sometimes you should just let things happen." Draco laid a hand on Harry's shoulder and gradually let it fall to gently stroke down his arm. Harry's spine tingled as their gaze met and as if hypnotised, Draco gave back his wand. He kept hold of Harry's hand as he passed it, seeming to be clutching for dear life. Something deep inside Harry stirred uneasily and he backed off, alarmed.
"Erm. Thank you," Harry stammered confused and suddenly weary.
"Hmm..." Draco muttered still mesmerised by Harry's presence.
"I'm leaving now," Harry stated although making little attempt to move.
"Yea me too," Draco replied reluctantly. As he and Harry turned in opposite directions to head towards the dorms, Draco felt a pang of regret. Neither wanted to return to the feast, weariness had seized them both.

All done! They are so cute together! Lord forbid anyone should think that Harry and Draco would never be right for each other! Not sure what's gonna happen in the next chapter but it's gonna be Harry's detention with Snape and I'm hoping for a confrontation though! I love Snape, and there will not be ANY character bashing, but it'll bring the story perfectly into Draco's hands. ;-) Please review (and come back for more!) Oh and a special thank you to those of you who've reviewed already! You always make me smile!
Herktownhick - Thank you thank you! You're splendorful simply splendorful!
The Fallen Caryatid - I hope it won't be dripping with cheese by the end. I'm a hopeless romantic but that's not how I imagine Harry and Draco's relationship to be.
And of course big ta to my weapons supplier Puddy tat and the ever beautiful butterfly girl (and baasheep but she doesn't count because she hasn't actually REVIEWED yet have you?! Nooooo, you haven't!)
