Another Author's note: I do not like Cho Chang at all, so any fans of her beware. I'm not that cruel to her in this Chapter but I'm just warning anyone who is a fan of hers.
Just one more note: I saw some typo-errors in this chapter, so I went through it and corrected the ones I saw.

"Wow!" was all Draco could say.
"I can't believe it." Said Harry
"Neither can I."
"We have to tell Dumbledore."
"Yeah, but first shouldn't we owl Lupin and ask him if he knows where Faith or Kendra is?"
"That's a great idea, let's floo him though."
They walked over to the fireplace, which was on the other side of the room. Harry picked up the floo powder that was next to the fireplace. He said the needed information and then stuck his head into the fire and called out for Remus.
"HEY! Remus! Are you there?"
"Hello Harry." Said Remus as he walked into the living room. "What's up?"
"I was wondering if you know where Faith or Kendra is."
"Kendra went missing just a couple of years ago. Faith lives in the muggle part of London. I can give you her address."
"Thanks Remus, that would be great."
"Here it is. Oh, wait. I just remember. She called me the other day. It seems that she broke her arm just yesterday, she at a hospital in London. Here the address of the hospital where she is staying.
"Thanks so much Remus."
"No problem Harry."
"Oh, another question before I leave. You used to go out with Faith right?"
"Yes, I did for a bit. Why?" said Remus looking oddly at Harry.
"Why did you break up?"
Remus blushed a vibrant red. "Umm… I will tell you later. You want to get there before the visitor hours close. I can't go with you to the hospital and you need someone to go with you."
"Ok Remus. Bye."
Harry took his face out of the fireplace and brushed out laughing when he remembered the blush on Remus' face.
"Are you ok Harry?" Asked Draco as he kneeled besides Harry.
"Yeah, heeheehee. I just that, heehee, that he turn such a bright red when I mentioned the break up."
"I wish I saw it."
"It was so funny."
"Tomorrow's Sunday," stated Draco. "We can go to the hospital tomorrow, since it is getting dark out."
"Okay, sounds fine to me."
"Meet up with you after breakfast?"
"Absolutely."
Draco left the Room of Requirement and headed down to the dungeons. Harry stayed in the room a little longer. He looked out the window, and looked up at the darkness outside. It was way passed bedtime. He took his invisibly cloak and head to his dorm.
As he enter his dorm, all of his roommates where sleeping. He crawled into bed, but did not go straight to bed. He went through what had happened today. The thing that stuck out the most in his head was the almost kiss. Harry thought what would have happened if that clock was not there. The thought did not disgust Harry as much as he though it would, and that puzzled him.
He had long since gotten over Cho Chang since last year. She was sad and depressing. He had decided that he did not need anyone to make him feel sad or depressed. He could do that all on his own thank you very much. He thought that he really like her and it turns out that he really did not. Now that he looks back on it, he only ever liked her because he thought he was supposed too.
When he thinks about Draco, however, it is completely different from what he though about Cho. Thinking about Draco makes him happy, while thinking about Cho had made him depressed. Draco topped Cho in everything in Harry's mind. Draco was funnier, and he did not feel awkward around Draco. He remembered when he saw Draco crying after he told him about his godmother Terena. Harry comforted him as he cried. When Cho cried, Harry was at a lost of what to do. What could he do? Cho never stopped crying. With Draco, to see him cry was heartbreaking to say the least.
Oh, and the almost kiss today. It left Harry curious as to what it means. He wanted to kiss Draco, but did Draco want to kiss him too? It seems like he did but Harry could not be sure. What would have happened if that clock was not there? Would they have kissed? Would Draco have pulled away when he noticed what was happening? Or would have Draco kiss him back? Harry did not know, and he fell asleep dreaming of the possibilities of what could have happened.
Harry woke up the next day before everyone else. He hopped into the shower and dressed. He ran downstairs into the Great Hall and took his normal seat. He filled his plate and began eating. His mind went back to the dream that he had.
It was a lovely night. The sky was pitch black. The only source of light was from the stars and the moon. He was outside, standing in the middle of the Quidditch pitch. He had his Firebolt in his hand. He turned around and saw Draco standing there. He was wearing his Quidditch robes, his hair was wind blown and he was smiling at Harry. In one hand, he held his broom. In the other was the Snitch.
"I won Harry. What do I get?"
Harry looked into Draco's eyes. Suddenly, the distance between them was not there. They were about the same height and they were only millimeters apart. Harry stared into Draco beautiful gray eyes. Then Harry's eyes began to wonder. The moonlight bounced off his blond hair. His face was slightly red from the wind. They must have been playing some one-on-one Quidditch. Harry took in his facial features, finally resting then on his rosy lips. Draco was breathing a little harshly. Harry brought his eyes back up to Draco's.
"You won. You get to choose." Harry said.
"Are you sure?" ask Draco
"Yes."
Draco then closed the rest of the distance between them. He placed his hands on Harry's hips and gently kissed him. Harry closed his eyes and started to kiss Draco back. He wrapped him arms around Draco's waist and pulled him closer. He opened his mouth when he felt Draco's tongue apart his lips. He heard a moan, and he was not sure whom it came from. The started to get more intense and then…
He woke up. He was so confused when he woke that morning. What did that dream mean anyway?
Half way through his meal Ron and Hermione came and sat down next to him. They started up random chitchat for a while. When Ron mentioned the essay for Defense against the Dark Arts, Harry let his head fall on to the table. Grr, thought Harry. I still need to do it and get help from Draco on the Potions homework. Shit!
Five minutes later, he noticed that Draco was finishing his meal. Harry stood up, said goodbye to his friends and walked out of the Great Hall. A few minutes later, Draco came out too.
"I need to see Professor Marcellus about that essay and I need your help on the Potions homework."
"Shit. I completely forgot. The potions isn't that hard. You can copy mine. No big deal. But I haven't even started that essay, yet."
"Let's go see him know ok?"
They ran down the Hall and down the stairs. In no time, they had reached the DADA classroom. Harry knocked on the door.
"Professor!"
"Coming!" He opened the door. "Why hello, Harry and Draco. What are you to doing here?"
"We need help on the essay." said Harry.
"Why? I believe that is was not that hard of an assignment."
"I know, but we have been busy, and have not even started it yet." Said Draco.
"And why haven't you?" ask the professor.
"Well, we found this thing that we have been working on." Said Harry.
"What thing?"
"Something that my godmother and Harry's moo and there friends left us."
"Really?"
"Umm… ya. We were planning on seeing Faith today."
"What happened?"
"She broke her arm and is in the hospital.
"Ok, I'll make a deal with you. I'll push back the date of the essay for you two and take you to see her."
"You will?" both boys said.
"Yeah. Do you have the address?"
"Yup, here it is." Said Harry as he handed the address over to the Professor.
"Hmm… we have two hours until visitors are allowed. I will help you out on the essay. You have to get dress to go into muggle London though."
"Ok." Said the boys again.
"Go change first then come back here."
They left the room and went to their respectable dorms to change. They came back about 15 minutes later. Harry was wearing baggy clothes that where hand-me downs from Dudley. The jeans that he was wearing were still a size too big after they have shrunk in the wash. The shirt was two sizes too big for him and hung off the shoulder. Draco on the other hand had on dark blue jeans and a dark green T-shirt. On his feet, he had on black leather boots.
"What are you wearing?" asked Draco
"My cousins hand me downs."
"Those clothes don't even fit you."
"I know, but my aunt and uncle never bought me anything."
"You are not going looking like that."
"Professor," Draco called through the door. "We'll be right back."
"Okay, just don't take too long."
"Ok, Harry follow me. First where is your invisibility cloak?"
"In my room why?"
"Because you will need it to get through the Slytherin common room."
"What?"
"Those clothes don't fit you. You are about my size. So, I'm going to loan you an outfit to wear."
"Okay." Said Harry disbelieving that Draco was going to lend him some of the clothes that he wears.
They first went to Harry's dorm. Draco stayed at the base of the steps as Harry got his cloak. Then they headed towards the dungeons. They reached a picture of a man. Harry threw the cloak over himself. When Draco could no longer see him, he turned to the picture and said the password. The portrait swung open and Draco walk inside, and Harry followed him. Draco turned left and walked down a flight of stairs. At the base of the stairs he turned right and then entered the second room on the right. Harry took off the cloak after he stepped inside. Apparently, Draco had his own room because he was a prefect.
"Okay Harry stand right here."
"Okay."
Draco went into his closet and looked around. He pulled out a pair of black jeans, and a dark green sleeveless shirt.
"Here put this on." Draco said as he turned around.
Harry put on the clothes and told Draco he could turn around now. Draco looked Harry over. Then he went back into his closet and pulled out a black jacket, which was light and very comfortable for this time of year. He also pulled out a pair of black boots and handed them to Harry.
"The boots are enchanted so they will always fit no matter the shoe size."
"Thanks Draco, you really didn't have to do this."
"Please, it's not a problem. Also, after the trip to the hospital we are buying you a new wardrobe. And you are not going to change my mind."
"Thanks Draco."
"Don't mention it. That outfit look awesome on you."
"It does?"
"Yup, come and look." Draco pulled harry over to the mirror and stood behind him.
"The green shirt brings out the color of your eyes. Everything else is wonderful, and it actually fits you too."
Harry looked in the mirror. He saw himself, and he did look good. Draco was standing behind him and he could see him through the mirror. Harry turned around and hugged Draco. Draco wrapped his arms around him, and hugged Harry back. Harry moved his head up and looked at Draco. Again, his eyes memorized Harry. He remembered the dreams he had, and wondered what it would be like. However, he was afraid of what Draco might say. So, he gently kissed Draco, but pulled back and said thanks and said that they had to meet up with the Professor.
Draco was shaken out of his shock and walked out of his room with Harry behind him, who hidden under his cloak. What Harry, did not know what that Draco had a similar dream to his last night too.
