Draco's Secret: Chapter 2
He woke at his usual time feeling more than a bit grumpy. It had taken him some time to calm down after waking from the dream and even longer for sleep to return. He went through his morning toilet as quickly as possible and headed up toward the great hall. Potter was already there and actually seemed to be enjoying himself. He glared at his rival and not surprisingly caught Potter's eye. He felt himself blush as he remembered bits and pieces of his dream from the night before. Normally he would have tried to stare The other boy down with one of his Malfoy scowls, but his heart just wasn't in it this morning. He sighed. They had potions with Gryffindore first thing this morning and with his luck he'd be partnered with Potter once again. It was going to be a long day.
Across the room Draco's odd behaviour had been noted and puzzled over. In all the time Harry had known him he'd never seen Malfoy blush before. The sight piqued his curiosity. What could be so embarrassing to the blonde headed Slytherin that he would actually turn red? Malfoy didn't look angry. Harry had had ample chances to see the ferret at such times and his face had never flushed like that before. Well whatever was up certainly wasn't his affair. Besides he had to go back to his dorm for the potions essay that was due today. He rose from his seat and left the room.
The day had finally ended and he was exhausted. Just as he'd feared Snape had partnered him with Potter once again. Only this time it had been different. In the past when they had been forced to work together he'd always beem able to ignore the other boy. Today however had been a fiasco. He'd been so intent on ignoring Harry that he'd added far too much wormwood bark to their potion. The resulting explosion had been large enough to give everyone in the vicinity frizzy pink hair. Needless to say Snape hadn't been pleased with his own new hairstyle. He'd taken 50 points from both Gryffindore and Slytherin.
After lunch they'd had care of magical creatures together. Draco shivered at the memory. That great oaf Hagrid had decided they needed some interaction with unicorns of all things. They had sat on the ground and waited for the animals to approach. To everyone's surprise, and his personal embarrassment, one of the beasts had actually laid its head in his lap. Thick headed as they were even Crabbe and Goyle had gotten a laugh out of that one. Everyone had laughed. Everyone that was except for Draco and a certain green eyed Gryffindore. Draco sighed. He wasn't a seer like that fraud who called herself a divination teacher was, but he could see it was going to be a very long year. Gathering up his books, quills and parchment he left the common room and headed for bed all the while praying that he wouldn't have the dream again.
