Chapter Nine
It had been a very weird week. Draco had been waiting for Harry to make a move, just a little one. He didn't. They didn't insult each other anymore but they didn't acknowledge the other's existence either. Draco was almost desperate, what should he do? It was a truce now sure that didn't mean they where friends but Harry could at least let him know he knew that he existed. He was unconsciously sounding like a smitten schoolgirl. Oh the humiliation but no one noticed, well Draco himself didn't notice the rest of the school was a completely different matter. The main student body hadn't noticed anything, thank god. But Blaise was quite alarmed at the occasional sighs and blushes that just seemed to creep on his cheeks out of nowhere and not to mention his dreamy state. You could talk to a wall these days or Draco it would make a difference. Okay a wall doesn't sigh.
Draco wasn't noticing any of his strange behaviour actually he wasn't noticing anything in the real world. Until Blaise had enough of it confronted him.
"Hey Draco"
... Nope Draco was not in hearing range.
"DRACO! I need to talk to you."
"Huh? You said something?"
"Yes I did" was the answer coming from a by the minute more annoyed boy
"Sorry wasn't paying attention."
"Yeah I noticed that.( And where the hell did that sorry come from?!) What's up with you Draco? And don't tell me there is nothing cause there is and you ARE going to tell me."
Blaise expected an enraged Draco to answer and tell him to butt out of his life but that didn't happen, not at all.
"I'm just so tired Blaise please let me sleep. "
And Draco Malfoy indeed looked tired it was the result of too many thinking. Maybe he should actually do something himself instead of waiting for Harry.
"Draco what is wrong. I'm your friend I'm your best friend for god sake!"" Blaise tried again.
"Blaise this is just something I have to do on my own this I so .. Different so weird I don't know what it is myself. But when I do and I'm ready I will tell you okay?" "" "You are very very sure you don't want to talk or tell me anything?"
"Yeah I 'm pretty sure but thanks anyway." He smiled. Well an attempt at it.
"Yeah, and you where right Draco you need sleep. You look like shit." With that he left. If Draco hadn't fallen asleep already he would have herd his sniggers down the corridor. If you had the opportunity the insult Draco Malfoy and not get gutted like a fish (lol), you should take it!

Potion's class, Today's first lesson
"Be quiet all of you!" Yep that was Snape's usual greeting. Not nice? Why change it? It got them quiet.
Now, let's see I hope all of you reviewed the Snediol Potion. A little gasp was heard you could easily miss it cause it came from the back row out of Harry Potter mouth. But Snape wouldn't be Snape if he had.
"Ah yes Mister Potter please do tell us the function and the ingredients of this potion."
"Ummm ummm. Well I kind of ..."
He paused his excuse to look at Malfoy his hair hanging loose, his posture perfect but he was so outrageously reading a book, that it screamed *I'm not paying attention I'm to good for that!* But still he couldn't make his eyes leave Malfoy's form. He was tracing the lines of his cheekbones when Draco's elegant fingers (elegant did I just think that) Started moving tapping on his book tapping on a ... note.
"Potter! Do not tell me you still think you are too famous to make homework. Because I.."
"The Snediol potion causes temporarily blindness to a person. The main ingredients are Plenda root Wisteria Leaves Some Bulgarian slug slime and Pigeons milk. "
"Well Potter you sure took your time didn't you but it's correct. 2 points to Gryffindor."
What happened in the rest of potions class? Harry couldn't tell you not for the life of him, he was still trying to process the fact that he actually gained points in potions class and that Malfoy had saved his skin.
Maybe it was his was to offer owhat exactly they had a truce now. But Harry didn't know what to do with it, should he be nice to Malfoy ? Should they ignore each other. But with that note Malfoy (no Draco) had offered more than just truce he had offered peace maybe even friendship. And Harry liked it. He almost felt like that this was what he had been waiting for.
But if you thought this day was weird you're wrong. It was just about to get weirder.
"Mister Potter- a silky soft but oh so dangerous voice began- I have noticed that your grades are lower than usual. I strongly suggest you find a tutor or might just have to fail you this year.. May I suggest mister Malfoy."
What!!! Was they quiet but urgent hiss the blonde gave when he heard this.
That was no surprising response, but the potions master whispered retort was: "I'm not completely clueless you know"
"Severu."
"Shhh Draco not here."
"Fine" the blond sulked
"As I said Mister Potter I suggest you and Mister Malfoy arrange something."
"Ohh okay."
"And I suggest you get the hell out of my classroom! The rang bell was 5 minutes ago."
"Oh okay"
"You children are so intelligent these days aren't you? Out Out Out" he yelled and literally shooed them away. HE slammed the door behind them, when the fire in the back of the classroom crackled and a blond man stepped out.
"Sev? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, love"
***
Outside the door where Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy had been so graciously pushed out of was some confusion and awkwardness. First of all Harry was reaching for his laying a bit dazed on the floor. (the poor bloke had tripped over his own way to big trousers) looking for his glasses.
Draco sighed (yes again) and handed the boy his glasses. "You could be pretty helpless in a battle when you lose these you know?"
"Umm I guess so."
Draco turned starting to walk away but after a few passes he noticed that Harry wasn't following, but still sitting on the floor.
"Draco I. I..II well umm- he took a deep breath- I wanted to thank you for the thing in potions class." That simple thing had been so hard for him, he still was afraid that Draco would laugh at him or something like that.
"Thanks", and Draco reached for Harry hand trying to pull him up. It worked. well to some extend. Out of nervousness he pulled to hard and they bumped noses. Causing a lot of blushes and stuttered apologies.
Neither seemed to notice or wanted to acknowledge the fact that the're hand where still tightly clasped together. Too safe, too nice to break, too beautiful. But of course when their gazes met both staring at their clasped hands they sprang apart. And more blushing and stuttering took place.
Finally Draco snapped out of it and got back his normal I'm so cool because I'm a Malfoy state. ( I wanted to say façade but this a part of the real Draco though, and no mask. So I couldn't really find the right word for it.).
And he grinned at Harry.
"Well are you going to stand there all day? I don't really mind, but I don't think it would be very easy to drag all the potions equipment out here."
"Yes I suppose you're right." He answered with a little smile of his own.
"But Snape just kicked us out." He added as an afterthought.
"Oh that's not really a problem I've got most of the potions essentials in my room."
"I didn't see it."
"Well I doubt you saw my vibrator and my wank mags so."
Harry spluttered and went beet red. And stuttered: "You actually have those!?"
"You really expect me to have them?"
When Harry's questioning eyes met his own he could only smirk and say: "I guess you really do think that."
When Draco turned he wondered if had just really flirted with THE (oh so great) Harry Potter. And why the hell he was so pleased about it.
*~*
I was thinking maybe I could write a prequel to this (just a one shot) so I can explain things a bit more. Bit I think that would involve a bit of messing around between Harry and Draco in first year. But tell me what you think!
And I really need a beta!!!
Preferably one that could beta Gundam Wing and HP stories. And I would really appreciate it if you could beta the old chapters I posted too. (They really need it!)
And should I write an endless apology here for the lack of updating? Probably should. Well I'll keep it short.
Het spijt me. I'm sorry. Sumimasen. Gomen nasai. Please don't eat me
