(A/N: Sorry I left it at that I had to go places, but i'm back and writing :o) i'm starting to get pretty chuffed with this now)

Harry and Draco flew over to Hermione and Ron. Ron was about to dive on Malfoy and attack him when Harry gave Ron a don't-you-dare look. Instead Ron burst out with a load of questions. 'What the hell were you doing? What the hell was you singing? And why the hell with him?'

'We were basicly pointing out that we came to an agreement, we're friends.' Ron and Hermione's jaws dropped. 'We were singing the Hogwarts song to the tune of 'we are the champions'. I did it with him because, it's him I came to the agreement with.' Harry explained.

'What has he done to you? Bribery? Threats? Spiked your water with something? What?' Hermione asked.

'Herm, I swear he hasn't done a thing. It was his idea to make friends because of something, maybe, possibly. He just came to understand that I really didn't have everything and didn't want all of that famous stuff.' Harry explained. He deliberately avoided the mentioning of the diary, Draco noticed this and Hermione also noticed he'd left something out too.

'How did he suddenly understand?' Hermione was getting more suspicious.

'Little birdy told him.' Harry muttered.

'Fine! If you don't wanna tell your BEST friends that you didn't hate yesterday. Come on Ron.' Hermione and Ron turned to walk off.

'Wait!' Draco said before they even took a step. 'I used dark magic to intercept his thoughts and feelings and his memorys, I had evil intentions at first but then I realised he's human and that he could be a much better friend than Crabbe and Goyle. He treats you two like friends should be treated, he can tell you practically anything and also i've wanted to be his friend for a while because he's a great person if you just take the time to observe him a bit, even without the spell I realised.' Draco explained, he also left out the diary part.

'Where did you learn it? Your father? You-know-who himself?' Hermione asked.

'Well if you should know I got it from a book from the restricted section. Snape let me have the book two months ago, so I could be ahead of even you. I noticed the potion I used and I made it myself. It took 7 weeks to make it and during this week i've been reading his memorys and thoughts and stuff, but today I figured i might as well call this whole thing off and make friends. I expect i'll go now.' Draco walked past Harry, Hermione and Ron and headed off to the slytherin changing rooms to change back into his clothes.

'Happy?' Harry muttered as he ran past Ron and Hermione to catch up with Draco. He found him in the slytherin Changing rooms waiting for him.

'Hullo stranger.' Draco said smiling.

'Thank you so much!' Harry said, sitting down.

'What for?' Draco asked confusedly.

'For covering for me. I really don't want them to know about that diary because, they'd, just, try to read it i expect. I know Ron would. There's things in there i never intended anyone to know and now you know everything.' Harry muttered quietly.

'Not quite! I only read up until christmas 1998, when you made the polyjuice potion to interrogate me i believe.' Draco said smiling. 'Thought it was me then did you? Makes me feel evil now!' He laughed.

'As long as you didn't read 4th & 5th year.' Harry said, poking his tongue out.

'Why? Fancy Hermione do you?' Draco laughed again.

'No, but i might like someone else.' Harry said slyly. 'And you'll never know who!'

'Wanna bet?' Draco asked and dived onto Harry and tried to get the diary. Harry fought him off and took out his wand.

'What's the opposite of a summoning spell?' Harry asked with a malicious grin.

'A go-away-er spell?' Draco answered stupidly.

'No, the banishing charm you div!' Harry waved his wand and muttered an incantation under his breath. The diary flew out of the room towards the gryffindor tower. It flew through the boy's dorm open window and snuggled itself under Harry's pillow.

'Damn it! So tell me, is it Parvati Patil?' Draco asked slyly.

'Nup! Just cause I went to the Yule Ball with her, doesn't mean I like her. It was desperate measures.' Harry grinned. 'You'll never guess who it is!'

'What about that girl you asked to the Yule Ball? I can't remember who everyone was saying it was though.'Draco thought for a minute. 'It is isn't it!' He grinned slyly. 'Look at that grin! You're going red too!' He wasn't lying, Harry was grinning widely and had gone bright red. 'Awww! Has wikkle Hawwy Potter gone all shy? Is wikkle Hawwy Potter all wed and embawessed? Awww! He's gone all cwutey pie!' They both burst out laughing.

'Do you actually like that Pansy Parkinson girl?' Harry asked slyly.

'Hell no! She is just,' he made sick noises. 'She was the only Slytherin that was my age and didn't look a spitting image of the back end of a cow, she closely resembles one though. Pity that new girl wasn't here, she's gorgeus!' Draco grinned.

'What new girl?' Harry asked confusedly.

'The one that came in yesterday. Didn't you see her at breakfast? She's got long blonde hair, it's dead straight, she's got bright blue eyes, she's skinny and she's fairly tall. She's in our year and she's Slytherin. She's really quiet though and hardly stays in the common room. I wonder what she does.' Draco explained.

'Haven't seen her. But she'd be in all your classes wouldn't she? Half the classes you're in, i'm in so i'd most probably see her monday in potions.' Harry said. 'Is she really that nice? I mean, no offence or nothing, but has there ever been a good looking slytherin?'

'Doubt it.' Draco shrugged. 'I'll probably hunt her down after and make conversation somehow. If any Slytherin's getting her, it'll be me.'

'What's her name?' Harry asked.

'I know this one! Errr... It's Eleanor Thomas or something.' He replied.

'Nice name.' Harry said. 'If she really is that nice i'd like to talk to her too.' He thought.

'Don't you dare think about it!' Draco said loudly.

'Too late.' Harry grinned. 'Well I wouldn't try and nick her being you've already branded her 'yours'. I'd like to get to know her though, I have a thing about wanting to make friends.'

'You failed with me, or atleast the first time i asked you. You gained a little more sense in the last four years.' Draco grinned.

'Oiy! I'll punch you now we're friends!' Harry laughed. 'Go on! Run you divvy! I don't want it to be too easy.'

'Oh bum.' Draco ran off.

'Oh bum indeed!' Harry chased. It didn't take him too long to catch up with Draco, and when Harry did he dived and caught his legs so that Draco went flying face first into the mud. Harry got up and ran off laughing, Draco chased.

'Bloody November rain!' Draco muttered under his breath, wiping mud out of his eyes as he ran. 'Wern't here earlier.' Harry slid over in the mud and Draco tripped over him. They both broke out into fits of laughter.

They both spent most of the afternoon and evening running about and tripping eachother over. 'Hey shall we go muck about in the lake or something?' Draco suggested.

'I cant swim.' Harry went red, but luckily the mud covered it up.

'But in the second task of the Triwizard championship you swam for like an hour!'

'I had flippers and gills to help me.' Harry muttered.

'I'll teach you to swim then!' Draco smiled innocently. 'I'll probably drown you though.'

'In that case no!' Harry said loudly.

'Ok ok! I won't do nothing funny i'll just teach you to swim properly.' Draco convinced him.

'Ok but you better be a good swimmer!' Harry agreed.

'I go swimming in the lake at six thirty every morning, even in December, and then it's bloody freezing!' He explained.

Harry's jaw dropped. 'You're nuts!'

'Maybe so but it keeps me healthy with all the sweets and stuff my dad sends me, besides i like swimming.' Draco explained. 'Come on then!' They both ran off to the lake.

(A/N: lots of laughing from the last chapter, nowt hardly in this but lots of laughing next chapter hopefully. if all goes to plan that is.)
