Chapter six

"Hey Blaise, how's everything?"

"Fine we've got a new DADA teacher, looks good. Oh yeah and a bunch of first years."

"Mmmmm that always happens doesn't it" Draco said munching on some toast.

Three toasts and some orange juice later Blaise added:

"Oh yeah and some additional classes you've still got a day to sign up for them."

What kind of classes? They're not pressing us to take muggle studies again are they?"

"Nehh, extra DADA and duelling classes, they will be thought by the new teacher he has really long hair, you know I'm glad I haven't got it would get stuck between the door or the toilet seat or something horrible embarrassing like that."

Yeah morning chat, you know the kind of talk you can perform without using your brains, something Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zambini were experts at.

"Ohhhh, I think I'll sign up, you?"

"Yeah, teacher looks good."

"How many times are you going to say that?"

"Till he turns ugly" Blaise replied biting in an apple

"That'll take forever"

"Hahahahahahahaha you said it you said it" Blaise was laughing so hard he almost fell out of is chair (blame it on the morning brain)

"I never said he was ugly you git! I just know people who are more attractive."

"Who?" He asked getting more serious.'

"Well Ha.... No one important lets not talk about it okay." Blaise understood the hint. Everything was quiet and peaceful again, Yeah right! Did he think Harry was attractive? When did that happen? (Maybe the day that you started wetting you're panties over him but it's just a guess)

"What's first? "

"You mean class? uhhh Herbiology with the Ravenclaws I think" Blaise answered

"Thank god it's not with the Hufflepuffs."

"Yeah to pink and fluffy in the morning."

Mostly it took Blaise and Draco a half hour in their first class to wake up. This day was no exception.

And some were near lunch Draco remembered about the new classes, better go and sign up he thought.

**

"Welcome, I am Matthew Salis, and this is your duelling class, it is an extra class taken voluntary and there will be no owls in this subject. But I hope you enjoy it anyway." He said grinning.

'Now I understand that there was an attempt at a duelling class in your second year led by mister Lockheart?'

"Yes sir" the class chimed.

No not again he thought the kids these days are so bloody good or just very good actor's

"Okay" he started "as your teacher I have one request: Don't call me sir! I'm not 50 years old not an insomniac and I tend to have a sex life thank you very much!...."

Oops... probably shouldn't have said that. No probably not but it was a good way to stun a sixth year class into silence.

Until it was broke by the laughing of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter who both thought this was very funny but also found the need to help their friend out of this embarrassing silence.

"Yeah, and you actually wash your hair" Draco gushed

"Must take bloody for ever" Harry responded.

Draco turned only to see Harry Potter's face, his green orbs meeting grey ones, although after the train accident they did not dare to stare or look for answers so they quickly looked away blushing. Neither of them noticed the others predicament. Matt did but he decided to nothing about it and just observe, but that was an entirely other thing than what Blaise had in mind who planned to get to the bottom of this, cause he knew Draco for more than 5 years and one thing was for sure, Malfoys don't blush!

"Why are you blushing Draco?"

"I am not blushing." he whispered back.

"You are and you know it Draco Malfoy do NOT lie to me"

"You sound like my mother."

"That isn't an answer is it?"

'It's nothing okay, just shut up."

"Not until you tell me what's wrong"

"Why would I tell you that Blaise?"

"I'm your best friend for god sake!"

"Blaise shut up! You are really going out on making me pissed today aren't you? And you don't tell me everything do you?"

"The only thing I did Draco was ask you why you where blushing you are making an elephant out of this!" (like in make an elephant out of a fly like in a problem)

Blaise was stunned Was this Draco Malfoy? The boy who always wore a mask, The boy who could always hide his emotions perfectly? He must have hit a sore and sensitive spot to get a reaction like that. But what was it? Or was Draco finally changing? He had been friends with Draco from the day school started and he learned what Draco could really be like, not the snobby arrogant little Malfoy heir, no Draco was his best friend and would probably always be, but to laugh in class show his real emotions like that lose control like that it wasn't like him. But Blaise couldn't say he minded the change. Would Draco finally toss aside his mask? If he did, it would cause a riot. He was the Malfoy heir he could not just go around being nice to people in public. But if he would Blaise would support him. Always.

"And in this class we are going to battle by the rules BUT you must always remember when your out there battling for you life there are no rules. And since I only know two of you bunch of sixth years I would like to ask them to come over here on the battling platform and give us a nice show." But neither of the boys got the hint, they where only partly paying attention.

"Draco, Harry if you please."

"Huh?.. oh yes of course Matt"

When Harry said that realisation dawned on Draco that he actually had to get up there too.

Déjà vu he thought bitterly. I've been trying to make friends with our ever so beloved Gryffindor and now I have to kick his ass woohooo.

In wasn't nice and quiet in Harry's brain either, but let's concentrate on the duel shall we?

"Okay turn your backs and start pacing please" Matt instructed

They turned facing each other. And stared, what should he do? Could he go through with this did he want another battle did he want to hurt him, hurt the boy before him.

"Ahem may I remind you are supposed to attack" Matt sighed. A fake sigh but the class didn't need to know that, cause Matt was interested and more than a little. Wouldn't Harry and Draco archenemy's to the end, jump at an opportunity to beat and humiliate the other?

"Ok turn your backs and start pacing again."

Now I have to, Draco said to himself just before he turned to face Harry, but he was going to face more than that.

"Quellione!" He yelled

"Mikrinas"

"Susturnis!"

"Expelleramus!"

Nothing happened...

Draco was beginning to panic why why WHY!!! Dragging his eyes up to Harry's face he saw the same fear. Where they so incapable?

Remember Draco you hate you hate him YOU HATE HIM, you don't care! It was a mantra pushing all his feelings away HE HATED HARRY POTTER as he finally met Harry's eyes he shouted:

"Knikoles!"

It worked, Harry was knocked out.

Knikoles it was a hard spell, it was supposed to knock your opponent out for 24 hours but it was easily blocked.

Why didn't he block, that idiot! ARGH! What if he's hurt I can't have hurt him can I? It was like someone had dropped a bucket of ice water on Draco, he was standing there staring at Harry. Cursing himself for hurting him. But no where in his mind he thought of that in a duel you where supposed to fight. Nope all his common sense was drowned out by his worry.

He was shaken out of his thoughts by Matt's voice:

"Lets get him to the hospital wing shall we?"

"Yes," and with that Draco Malfoy scooped Harry Potter in his arms like a he was saving a damsel in distress.

"We could have just levitated him here you know." Matt said when they arrived at their destination.

"Ummm yeah maybe well you know."

Thankfully Draco's poor attempt for an explanation was interrupted by madam Pomfrey

"Why are they here this time Matthew? Don't tell me *it* happened again?"

"No Poppy we where in duelling class and Draco hit Harry with Knikoles"

"Why didn't he block?"

"We should ask Harry don't you think? But first we should get professor Dumbledore cause there I something important I should tell him. Will you come with me?"

"Yes Matthew, Harry is the only one here and since he will be out for the coming 24 hours, I will accompany you."

And they left for the headmaster's office leaving behind a very ignored and confused Draco Malfoy, with a very unconscious Harry Potter in his arms.

Finally Draco put him down in one of the beds, god he was so light did he eat at all?

He sat there watching Harry sleep, it was strangely relaxing, so relaxing he started to doze of himself.

His peaceful (and dreamless slumber) was interrupted by noise coming from the bed next to him with contained Harry Potter.

He was kicking against the covers almost trying to struggle free of some non existent attacker

"Mia Isobel livrina comna eo ria."

It didn't make sense, what did that mean ? Did Harry speak some weird foreign language? It didn't really matter now, he had to calm the trashing boy down.

But how to calm him down? He wondered. But that was before Harry's left arm took a swing at him, he managed to stop the blow by grabbing the offending arm with his own left. Harry calmed down instantly, and it took Draco just a few moments to fall back into his sleep. So he nor Harry noticed the light that enveloped their clashed hands slowly travelling over their bodies

Author notes: I just love to make up words, so I made up the spell and the sentence that Harry was saying when he was asleep.
