It wasn't long before they came close to getting caught by Filch. Harry had
stepped on malfoys foot and malfoy, forgetting they had to be quiet started
shouting at harry telling him to watch where he was going. He only shut up
when he heard filch shouting out to see if any one was there. They had had
to stand up against the wall and wait till filch and his cat had gone,
because they didn't want to cause any more suspicion. Harry, who had Draco
pressed into him was holding on to his breath for as long as he could.
Suddenly, filch stood right in front of them, draco pressed as hard as he
could up to harry, not wanting to get stood on, harry had automatically put
his arms around draco and pulled him in closer. He put his head on Draco's
shoulder and prayed that filch went. He had been caught before and it
wasn't an experience he had wanted to go through again. They stayed like
that for a few minutes after filch had gone, only breaking apart when draco
whispered softly into Harry's ear ' I think we can go now' to which harry
replied 'oh'. They walked in silence the rest of the way to the slytherin
common room entrance. Harry decided to ask Draco the question that had been
burning in his head the whole time, 'why' 'pardon' 'why me, I mean you
could have asked anyone to help you, why me, since we're surposed to hate
each other' Draco was caught off guard. He hadn't got an answer for him and
so he said the first thing that had popped into his head, which was
'because'. He then muttered the slytherin password and quickly disappeared
into the slytherin common room before harry had time to think up another
question. He walked into his dormitory to find crabbe and goyle sitting on
his bed wanting to know how it had gone, by the look on draco's face, it
had gone well, very well.
Harry stood outside the slytherin dungon for a few minutes before decideing to go and get some sleep. He had decided though, that he would find draco and ask what he meant by 'because'. Also, had draco catching on that harry had said 'surposed to be enimes?' he had certainly been caught off guard, harry thought, maybe he truly believes we're enimies he thouht, sighing, he pulled over his covers and drifted into a dreamless sleep.
It was nearly 5.30 in the morning when draco had explained what had happened between him and harry, not much to tell really he thought, as he settled in his bed. Even though nothing had happened, he thought, he had still enjoyed it, it had been one of his best days this year at hogwarts. His father had been sending him owls with special assignments for him to do and it was getting him down, he also knew not to expect a christmas this year, with his grades being lower than they usually were. He started to wonder what potter had meant by saying that they were 'surposed' to hate each other, surpossed being the key word. He and his friends crabbe and goyle had yet to come up with an answer to that, and draco had promised himself to find out what harry had meant by that. It was the first time in years, since draco had a nice dream, he had slept peacefully for the first time in months, all because of harry and the happiness that had been brought to him that night.
Everyone was awoken in the morning by their heads of houses and told to get down to the great hall as soon as possible. They weren't given a reason, other than 'it could change your lives'. When they were all settled in the hall, dumbledore, who was looking more tired than the rest of the school simply spoke these short words, 'no one is safe any more, voldemort is back, and has become stronger than ever, if, we can't defeat him soon, the school will have to be closed, and that will be the end of hogwarts'
