Chapter Eight

The dream was haunting him. He was out of the hospital wing now and had made a run for the Slytherin dorms, but no such luck, he ran into Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger.

"What did you do ferret?!"

"Nothing I Uhh. it was a duel I. I was supposed to. fight him."

"You knock him out!"

"I didn't do it on purpose it's not like I want Harry to get hurt!"

"Excuse me?!" that had certainly baffled Ron. And it had made Draco run, well run. Malfoy's don't run away, no he had strode away (with great speed and urgency)

"That was weird huh Hermione."

"Hmm yeah.". She had studied this exchange with great interest and surprise.

*~*

Meanwhile Harry was busy slipping out of the hospital wing, but just like Draco he wasn't very lucky either and ran straight into Matt.

"Harry are you awake?"

"No I'm not you are just seeing some delusion, now let me pass."

"Sorry stupid question, but you where hit with Knikoles you're supposed to out for 24 hours."

"I don't know why I'm awake if that's what your asking." Maybe because of Draco his mind supplied but he didn't say that of course.

"Why didn't you block?"

"Huh? Block wha.."

"You know the curse" Matt helpfully supplied.

"Oh! Um don't know? I was trying to curse him but it didn't work and I guess I was so busy trying to figure out why not I didn't have time to block. And I doubt I could have."

"What do you mean by that?" Matt questioned.

"Well me not being able to do a simple curse is not a sign of my oh so great capability is it?"

"No need to be sarcastic Harry, Where is Draco by the way? "

"Oh he left, don't know why. Am I free to go now cause I don't see the reason staying here."

"Sure if you want to."

Swoosh . Dong! That had been the door.

*~*

Outside Harry was thinking where he should go, should he go back to Matt an d apologise to him? Should he go to Draco? That dream it had been so weird he was tingly all over, and Malfoy holding his hand and his head on his chest was kind of nice. He was unconsciously rubbing his left wrist, and finding an excuse for finding Draco. That was until he looked down and saw exactly what on his wrist he was rubbing. Well if this isn't an excuse for finding him, nothing is! And with that he ran t o the Gryffindor dorms to find the Marauders Map.

*~*

"Alarm alarm alarm!!!!!"

The shrieking voice of Pansy Parkinson is what woke Draco from his dream.

"Alarm!!! There is a Gryffindor in the common room Draco come here and save meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!"

God what a way to wake up he grumbled.

He was going down stairs when he met Blaise .

"Hey what's the riot about there are some Gryffindor up here?"

"Well one, and he happens to be Harry Potter and wants to see you."

Blaise got no answer cause Draco was long gone almost tumbling from the stairs.

He ran into one awkward scene Pansy was there standing a chair screaming bloody murder, some Slytherin girls following her example, others glaring Harry to death. It wasn't working though. No the most amazing part of the scene was Harry standing there and he was slouching looking like he owned the place. Many people including Draco Malfoy had expected Harry to be afraid to be in the enemy's ( if you want to call it that) lair. He wasn't, and it took Draco several seconds if not minutes to recover from his shock. (That's what he called it. If you ask me he was just admired the way Harry looked; al dark careless and sexy as hell. I mean that would explain the bulge in his pant right?)

"So Potter you came to talk to me?" (He was not becoming nervous he was not becoming nervous nope not at all!)

"No Malfoy I'm not I just like making your common room a mess which I seem to do by just standing here. Of course I came to see you! Now let's talk. Preferably somewhere else, there is just a certain amount of screaming a person can handle, and with Parkinson here I just reached about my limit."

"I understand what you're saying" he raised one eyebrow at Pansy who was still standing on her chair.

"Let's go to my room."

"You have a private room?"

"Yes I have."

Harry used his shoulders to push himself up from his slouching position from the door post and followed his former rival up the stairs.

When they finally reached the room Draco closed the door after Harry

He saw Harry's look and said: "Don't worry every Slytherin has it's own room up from third year and each room has locking and silence spells. But I don't think you came here for information on our dorms did you?"

"No" was Harry Potter's answer and approached Draco he had a predatory glint in his eyes. He was making Draco squirm.

"*I* Only came here to check on something." He was still approaching the boy in a manner that one would call seductive especially if you where Draco Malfoy.

"Harry. Potter what do you thiii.."

His left sleeve was yanked up, only to reveal one peculiar mark.

"Houston I think we have a problem."

The birthmark that was there before was transformed in something else, it was really small but if you looked closely you could make out a phoenix and a dragon.

When Draco was done staring at the mark on his own arm. I mean it was his arm right? And he didn't even notice he had a weird mark there until Potter comes barging in to Slytherin showing him. Which brought him to the next question.

How do you know this Potter? Does this concern you? He said in a slightly agitated type of voice.

All of that irritation disappeared as soon as Harry showed him his own left wrist.

"O~MY~GOD"

"My sentiments exactly."

Draco grabbed their wrist and lined them up.

"The marks are really identical. Have you got any idea why we both have these? "

"No I don't" He sighed he hoped Draco would've know, apparently not.

"Maybe it symbolises that we should be on the same side you know. I for one don't want to go around being Voldemort's slave. But I told you that before Harry."

"Yeah I know that mean we're on the same side doesn't it?"

"Guess so, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go around be all over sweetly and nice to people!"

"Sure Draco I didn't expect that, but this" and he grabbed Draco's wrist sweeping his thumb over the mark "must mean something."

Draco wasn't listening, alarm bells where going of in his mind, Harry kept rubbing over the mark and it was driving Draco crazy, not in a goods way oh god oh god oh god Draco was reduced to some, some horny teenager some pile of helpless hormones. What was Harry doing to him?? He could just come in his pants. No he would if Harry didn't stop soon. Do you think Harry would mind if I rubbed a bit against his leg, just a little? O god Malfoy get a hold of yourself get a hold get oh god that feels soooooo goooood. Must keep in control I'm a Malfoy control Draco control.

To Harry Draco looked like a statue frozen on his spot, which was in Draco's opinion a lot better than if he knew what he was really thinking. And all Harry had to do was look down. Alas he didn't and Draco finally got enough courage to break free from Harry's treacherous stroking thumb (your sure that thing isn't on one of the 7 sins list or something like that?)

"Ok..okay I agree with you that it means something." (his voice was still little shaky) But what do you what to do about it?"

"Well I think this mark means that were well I don't know he said with a goofy grin but at least we share something. And we know were on the same side. Maybe a truce?"

"Yeah sure, that will have its good sides." (God he had to get Potter out of here)

"So a truce then?"

"Yeah, but can I call you Harry then?" (he cursed inwardly he sounded like a seven year old girl asking for candy)

"Sure, only if I can call you Draco", he answered in an equal over sweet voice.

"Okay"

"Okay "

"Yeah"

"Umm this is getting awkward maybe you should go umm .. Harry" (Yes get out of here so I can wank! Thank god he didn't say that out loud.)

"Okay see you at potions tomorrow. Bye."

"Bye."

Harry had left he was alone. He and Harry had a truce but what did that mean? Where they friends now?

It certainly doesn't mean you ca go rubbing yourself against his leg now matter how much you want to.

Arghhh Draco wanted to smash something he was so confused.

But first he had to attend more *pressing* problems
