Thanx everyone for the wonderful reviews. Sorry this ones only short but I wanted to get some more posted
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and Draco sat on a swing each in the park. Neither of them spoke, not knowing what to say to each other. They had agreed to put their differences behind them but had yet to discover their similarities, apart from Quidditch and being in a muggle park they couldn't talk about that. Even if they could they would probably disagree on which players they liked.
Harry watched as Draco threw stones at a tin can lying on the floor. Soon Harry was bored of this and glanced round the park. He saw three girls, about sixteen years old, sitting on a patch of grass. One of them had long blonde hair and kept looking round at them. A few minutes later they all stood up and started walking along the path near them. Draco looked up as the girls walked past and the blonde haired girl smiled at him as her friends giggled. Draco looked at her but didn't smile back. As soon as the girls had gone past Harry grinned at Draco.
"What are you grinning at Potter" Draco snapped
"Nothing" Harry replied still grinning.
"Well stop it then"
"Make me"
"You're dead Potter" Draco grabbed for his wand as he jumped from the swing
"You can't use that out here" Harry muttered as he grabbed Draco's arm.
"Get off of my arm"
"Put it away then" Harry said as he stood up. Draco put his wand back and pushed Harry away. Harry stumbled back slightly as he hadn't expected it and then pushed Draco back.

Sirius and Talitha were walking down the street back to Remus' having just been to see a house for sale. It was only a few streets away and just what they were looking for. They had decided that if Harry and Draco agreed they would buy it.
They noticed Harry walking up the street in the opposite direction, Draco was not far behind. They all met just outside the gate to Remus' house.
"Harry what an earth has happened" Talitha asked as she saw Harry's lip bleeding. She then noticed Draco's eye was swollen. She looked at Sirius as if to say I told you so.
"He hit me" Harry answered.
"You hit me first" Draco interrupted
"But you pushed me" The arguing continued, loud enough to attract the attention of two women who were chatting across the street. They looked over with disapproving stares
"Enough!" Sirius yelled as he pushed both of the boys inside the house "We don't want to know who hit who first. Why were you hitting each other at all?"
"Malfoy didn't like it when I found a girl checking him out funny"
"This one's yours" Talitha said to Sirius with a smile and went to join Remus in the kitchen
"What's all the yelling about" Remus asked
"Girls"
"Ah"
"Oh and we might have upset your neighbours"
"They think I'm strange anyway" Remus replied with a grin
~~~~~~~~
Sirius managed to calm Harry and Draco down eventually and Draco slouched off to the bedroom.
"Just be easy on him Harry, he's having a tough time"
"It was only a joke"
"Yeah well maybe he's not in the mood for jokes"
"I suppose I better go and get changed" Harry said as he looked down at his t-shirt that now had muddy marks on it and blood form his lip. He trudged up the stairs. Cautiously he opened the bedroom door. Draco was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling.
"Look, I was only messing about" Harry said.
"Yeah, I suppose I overreacted a bit" Draco answered. Harry changed his t-shirt and headed back to the door
"You coming down?" he asked. Draco pulled himself up off of the bed and they both went back down to the kitchen where Talitha and Sirius told them about the house they had found.
~~~~~~~~
The next morning Harry and Draco were standing outside waiting for the others. Talitha and Sirius were going to show them the new house. Harry saw the blonde girl from the park walking up the street towards them.
"I've just got to get my…" Harry muttered and disappeared back in to the house. He didn't want a repeat performance of yesterday. Again the girl smiled at Draco as she walked past. Harry noticed from the window that although Draco didn't smile back he watched her as she walked away from him. Harry smiled knowingly to himself.
They all walked round to the house that was for sale. It was similar to Remus' but four bedrooms and a much larger garden, ideal for practising Quidditch. They all agreed it was perfect and Talitha was pleased that it wasn't too far from Remus, as she didn't want him to feel lonely once they had all gone. They would be able to move in, in a few weeks time, once every thing had been arranged.
"Well it looks like you'll be having your birthday party at my house then" Remus said to Harry as they walked back.
"My birthday party?"
"Yeah, you've got to have a party Harry" Sirius said "That's the whole point of birthdays"
"I've never had a party before" Harry grinned.
"Never?" said Draco in disbelief.
"Yeah well the Dursleys weren't exactly my biggest fans. They were hardly going to have a party for me" Harry snapped back at him
"Ooo! I love parties" said Talitha excitedly, sensing yet another argument brewing between Harry and Draco "We'll invite everyone and it'll be so cool"
Harry couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the day. His first ever birthday party. He didn't even yell when Draco knocked pumpkin juice all over him, even though he was sure he had done it on purpose.
