Also for the Halloween party, I'm accepting suggestions for the costumes oh and title suggestions too. Thank you for your reviews to Redmeadow and buta-chan. thrnbrooke, thank you so much hope you enjoy this one! Please review!!!
"What is it, James?" said Lily looking worried at her very pale husband."Harry...where did you get that?" his voice was slightly shaking, Harry had never heard that tone from his father so it must be bad he knew it was when his mother looked at it and almost fainted."I did it" said Harry looking at it."Where have you seen that?" asked James when they heard a door open and Jeremy came out, hair a mess and grinning but one look at his family made him frown with worry."What's wrong, you're not still on about that thing with Harry?"asked Jeremy exasperated."No, they just looked at a drawing I made a got all weird." said Harry looking at his parents as if worried for their mental health. He showed Jeremy and quickly worried about him as well when he got a similar reaction."Harry do you know what that is?" he asked slowly. "I didn't realize it had a meaning" said Harry looking thoughtful.
"Harry that's the dark mark" said Jeremy seriously."What do you mean?" Harry was very confused."Harry where did you see this?" asked James faking calmness."In my dream" answered Harry simply."What do you mean, you dreamt about this?" he said pointing to the offending drawing."Yes, it was tattoed on a man's arm" Harry didn't understand why his family was so scared of a silly drawing."What did the man look like?" asked James sitting in front of Harry as if interrogating him -which he was, kind of-. "I don't really know I can't remember much, they were wearing long black cloaks and white masks so there really wasn't much I could see" said Harry."They?" asked James."Yes, there were four of them, they were talking and said something about someone telling a "muggle-loving fool" or something...why are you asking all these questions?" finished Harry looking expectantly but it was Jeremy who answered."Harry the dark mark is a symbol of Voldemort he marks his followers with it and can communicate with them through it, is like a link between them they also have a spell to make it appear in the sky, they used it after killing, they would raise the mark above the person's house, so you see whenever someone sees that it's not good." by the time he finished Harry was very confused, so he had never seen that how come he dreamt about it.His father apparently had gotten a grip and said."Harry if you have any other dreams like this one I want you to tell me straight away, got it?" Harry nodded, he still had some questions but knew this wasn't the time.

It was monday morning and Harry was having breakfast in the Great Hall with his Gryffindor friends it seemed like ages since the last time he saw them, they were very worried about him."So where were you this weekend?" asked Ron through a mouthful of pancakes."My parents' quarters, I'm grounded so I'm going to be living there for the next month" said Harry glumly."Why are you grounded, what did you do?" asked Seamus."Well my parents got all overprotective and there was shouting, lying, me storming off and them spending the night looking for me...it sounds very messy but it wasn't that bad" he said grimacing."So now I can't even go to Gryffindor tower, they want me under their watchful eyes whenever I'm not in class, can't even believe I'm looking forward to class just to get away from them" Seamus laughed at that."Hey, cheer up we've got Snape first thing in the morning" said Seamus smiling."Have you lost your marbles, what kind of crappy way to cheer someone up is that?" said Ron looking at Seamus as if worried for his mental health."Well Snape is bastard all the time but first thing in the morning it's like he hasn't warmed up yet so he's less of bastard" said Seamus but everyone was still looking at him strangely."Look we've got to go, don't want to be late and give him the warm up he needs." he said pulling Harry along with him.
Draco had been watching Harry with his friends, he seemed happy with them he was smiling a lot...~ How he loved that smile, it lit up his eyes making them almost glow, he had a sweet innocence that somehow made him so sexy ~ He was talking to Weasley then he turned to Finnegan...~ Stupid prat (Seamus not Harry) why is that idiot taking Harry's hand... ~. Harry made it to potions and sat down at the table farthest from Snape's desk. Snape strode in in his usual fashion."Today we will be making the "festinatio" potion it is used to accelerate the growth of plants, the ingredients are there -he pointed to a cupboard and the door opened - the instructions are on the board". Fifty minutes later Harry walked out of the potions dungeon with another D. Transfiguration was great they were turning stones into turtles and Harry was the only one successful, Hermione had been close her stone turned into a empty turtle shell. Draco's stone had a pattern similar to a turtle shell, he was looking very frustrated.
Lunch was spent watching Ron and Hermione bicker, it was very funny watching how many shades of red their faces could go. Harry was about to lift his fork when an owl caught his eye, it looked like a school owl ~ probably mum and dad to remind me of my punishment ~ thought Harry but when he opened the parchment he just found a very short note. *Meet me at the same place as last time, D.* ~ Someone is a little paranoid, why is he so secretive, why couldn't he just ask me I mean we do have a lot of classes together...I better go just to see what he wants ~ Harry looked at the Slytherin table and found Draco staring at him, he nodded slightly and Draco did the same then looked away as if nothing had happened ~ nothing did happen he probably wants to know what happened after Dad and Sirius found us, it's not like he fancies you...I mean he was probably just trying to kiss you as part of his apology I mean he's perfect, what could he possibly want with someone like me?... ~
Harry saw his mum walking towards him in the corridor on his way to herbology she stopped him to tell him to have dinner in the Great Hall tonight but she didn't tell him why. He found out later that was because of an announcement."Your attention please, There will be a Halloween Ball this year, is going to be a fancy-dress (costume) party so be creative about what you're going as, the invitation is opened to students from fourth year and above, Thank You."
After dinner Harry hurried to the seventh floor and found Draco sitting in a black leather sofa -that wasn't here on friday or anything else around the room for that matter- the walls were a deep green and there was no fireplace just the sofa and in front of it a coffee table with lots of books on top...it seemed smaller too."Hi" said Draco."Hi, how did you do this?" said Harry gesturing around the room."Oh, this is called the "Room of Requirement" it changes depending on your needs" he said simply."Cool, so why did you ask to meet me?" Harry crossed his arms in front of his chest and was looking at him expectantly."We made a deal, Potter" said Draco getting up.He walked upto Harry and stood right in front of him, he was slightly taller than Harry so his breath was moving Harry's hair out of his eyes. He looked into Harry's eyes and saw that they there wide and curious, he lowered his eyes to Harry's lips and saw them slightly parted and he looked as if he was holding his breath...all-in-all there was only one word to describe Harry...Beautiful. "So, how about those potions?" he asked enjoying Harry's disappointed little pout."Fine" said Harry dropping on the sofa and crossing his arms."You're not going to change anything I'm rubbish and I'll always be rubbish" said Harry stubbornly."You're not, you just haven't found something interesting in the subject, like today's potion it's of no use to you if you're not interested in gardening" Harry looked at him with a raised eyebrow."What in the world could be interesting about a stupid cauldron filled with gross and stinky ingredients?" Draco smiled."Doing something that could help you" Harry sighed."Like what?" Draco started looking through the books in the coffee table, he grabbed one and started looking through it he stopped at a page."Like this...-Harry looked at him waiting for an explanation- is a potion to correct your sight" he finished smiling at Harry's awed face."You can do that?" Draco passed him the book."Actually you can and you will" Harry looked at him skeptically."Draco I'll probably make myself blind"Harry whined.."No you won't you'll come every night after dinner and we'll work on it" Draco looked at Harry who had shot up from his seat."What's wrong?" he asked worried."I'm grounded I was supposed to be at my parents' quarters after dinner" he said slapping his forehead with both hands and muttering -I'm so dead- "Look, thanks but I can't I'm grounded for a month and I'm not allowed to do anything except for classes" he said looking apologetically."Just tell your parents that you joined a study group it's not far from the truth" he said. "I guess, I've got to go now" said Harry running to the door. Draco wanted to say something about the "almost-kiss" but didn't get a chance, Harry could be fast.
Harry was running through the corridors but wasn't paying attention and ran into someone and fell to the floor, he looked up and so Jeremy looking annoyed."Watch where you're going, brat" Harry stuck his tongue out at him. Jeremy rolled his eyes but gave him a hand to help him up.They walked together until they saw the portrait of their grandfather."Hey Grandad" said Harry."You're in trouble...again" said the portrait looking at Harry with a fake stern expression. They walked in to find their parents reading in the sofa together."Where were you, I told you to have dinner at the Great Hall but you were to come straight back here." Lily was looking at him disapprovingly."Mum I was just getting some help with my potions homework" said Harry walking to the door to his bedroom."Are you having trouble with potions, I do tutoring in the library just come by on your free periods and we can work extra here after dinner" she said blocking his way. Harry didn't like that one bit so he remember what Draco said"Well it wasn't regular homework more like a project and I have a partner and I arranged to meet with him after dinner last week so I was telling him that I was grounded and couldn't do it anymore" said Harry trying to look nonchalant."Well you can tell your partner that you need to work here from now on" ~ I knew she wouldn't give it up that easily ~."Mum, we need a potions lab, it needs to be in the dungeons" said Harry "Well since it has to do with school, you have ninety minutes after dinner every night, no more, okay?" Harry was so happy he couldn't believe he would be able to see Draco evey night. "Thank you, thank you Mum" said Harry hugging her and running to his room. As soon as the door closed behind him it opened again, he looked and saw Jeremy standing against the doorframe."What are you really doing at nights?" asked Jeremy shrewdly."What do you mean?" asked Harry a little nervous."Please, nobody its that excited about something to do with school and much less with Snape involved" He looked Harry in the eyes."I'm going to find out, I won't say anything but sooner or later Mum and Dad will find out too and when they do they're going to freak you know that" he said walking out of Harry's room but before he closed the door he said."Oh and Harry -"yeah?"- be careful" he closed the door leaving Harry to his thoughts.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Who can tell me why dementors affect certain people worse than others?" Hermione was almost jumping. he nodded to her."Well the dementor sucks the hapiness out of humans leaving them with the most horrible memories of their lives sometimes things you couldn't even remember, so it affects everyone but on a different level depending on each person's own experiences." she said all this with one breath. "Very good, Hermione, five points to Gryffindor" he said smiling at her."Now, there is a defense against dementors, can anyone name it?" a few people raised their hands" Yes, Parvati?" he said looking at the girl."A cheering charm?" she suggested."You can try that but it wouldn't be very effective can anyone tell me why , yes Harry?" everyone turned their eyes to Harry."Because the cheering charm doesn't protect us so it would just feed them and wear out fast, the most efective form of defense is the patronus because it acts as a shield is made out of feelings like hope, faith, things that makes us happy but it cannot feel despair so it repels them" he finished. Remus was looking very proud, most students were impressed not much was known about Azkaban's guards. Draco was looking at Harry curiously, he never expected Harry to know so much about dementors, he had seen him dueling and knew he was good but he thought he was just good with curses not with books...~ He's Gorgeous, smart and looks so adorable when nervous... ~ he groaned, he was starting to sound like a love-struck twelve-year old girl.
After dinner Harry went to the room of requirement and found it similar to the first time he had been there, everything was a deep blue, dimmed light."How are we supposed to work with this lights and I thought this was called the room of requirement why is it that it only fills your needs?" Draco was looking at him with amusement."What?" asked Harry irritated."You look so appealling when you get all worked up" Harry blushed and looked at the floor."And about the room, you can change it if you like" Harry looked at him confused."Just imagine what you want it to look like" he stood up and walked to Harry, grabbed his hands and pulled him to the sofa."Close your eyes, go on" Harry closed his eyes and thought of the perfect place to be with Draco, a bed appeared next to them. Draco raised an eyebrow and Harry blushed so red he thought Draco could feel the heat coming from him. He concentrated again on a place to study and when he opened his eyes, the room was white and bright but not too bright there was a table with two chairs and a cauldron with vials filled with potions ingredients on top. There were potion books in a bookcase that was against the wall facing them."A little too bright for my taste but good" said Draco thoughtfully."Let's get started on that potion" Harry groaned but walked to the table with Draco."Now I want you to crush those to a fine powder" he said."That is a fine powder" said Harry stubbornly."Then a finer powder" said Draco rolling his eyes."Okay that's good now stir - no, you're letting too much air, slower-" he stood behind Harry grabbing his wrist and slowing his motion. Harry couldn't breathe, Draco was so close he could feel his warm breath on the back of his right ear, making him shiver. Draco felt Harry shivering and smiled to himself."Good, now it needs to simmer for ten minutes before adding the last of the ingredients for today" said Draco."What do you mean for today?" asked Harry."Well it takes ten days to be ready" said Draco simply."What?" asked Harry through gritted teeth."Don't worry, today was the hard part, the next nine days is just adding the powdered essence of murtlap a quarter of a teaspoon a day and twelve stirrings counter-clockwise" Harry was looking relieved.
"So the deal was that you would help me with potions if I helped you with transfiguration, right?" Harry looked at Draco."Right, I couldn't do that stupid turtle yesterday" said Draco angrily making Harry giggle."Stop that Potter, I didn't make fun of you when you made a Longbottom-worthy blunder" Harry glared at him."Fine" he started looking around the room looking for something small but then just took off his glasses"Here" he said handing them to a confused Draco."Er...Potter I can't do transfiguration but I can see fine" Harry glared at him and Draco noticed how different he looked without his glasses, you could see his eyes much better, his eyebrows and long, dark eyelashes, his whole face looked different.
"I know that I want you to touch them, feel every dent, follow every curve.Now, close your eyes...its similar to this room...just see them in your mind" he took the glasses away from Draco and handed him a book."Okay now see the book losing its rectangular shape and turning into black wire...like my glasses...can you see it?...don't open your eyes, now move your wand in a small circle once and say "cambiare" that's one of the basic incantations for small inanime objects." Harry was looking at Draco proudly."Open your eyes" he said smiling. Draco opened his eyes and saw Harry's glasses in his hand he rolled his eyes thinking that they were really Harry's glasses but when he looked up at Harry's smiling face he saw he was wearing a pair that looked exactly like the ones he was holding."I can't believe that closed eyes crap worked" Harry glared at him."Your welcome, that's the last time I'm going to be teaching you anything" said Harry angrily. "Hey, I didn't mean it like that I just, you know I can't do that in McGonagall's class" he said looking apologetically at Harry."I know I just wanted you try like that because its easier but after you practice you can concentrate with your eyes opened" Draco was looking sheepish."You didn't really mean that about not teaching me anything again,right?" He walked up to Harry and kneeled in front of him."Of course I did" said Harry seriously."But I said I was sorry" whined Draco."Actually you didn't" reminded him Harry. "Well I did now, didn't I?" Harry rolled his eyes and stood up, Draco did too. He leaned in and kissed Harry full on the lips, Harry not expecting that lost his balance and fell on the sofa, Draco on top. They kissed until Draco felt that Harry had stopped breathing."Hey, breathe I don't want you to pass out" he said making Harry blush. Harry couldn't believe it, Draco had kissed him...DRACO MALFOY KISSED ME!!! but then he felt confused he didn't know if Draco liked him or just wanted a better grade on transfiguration.
"Why?" he asked softly."Why what?" asked Draco looking at him with a small frown."Why did you kissed me?" he clarified."What do you mean?" Draco didn't understand what was going on, he seemed to like the kiss, maybe it was that blasted Finnegan, maybe they were -"I mean do you fancy me or just want to pass transfiguration?" Harry interrupted his mind's rambling. Draco looked him in the eyes and saw sincere curiosity."Why do you ask?" Harry took a deep breath."Because I always thought that my first kiss would be with someone who at least liked me" Draco's eyes widen a little.
"That, was your first kiss?" he asked thickly.Harry looked at him but didn't bother with a reply."I'm sorry I didn't know" Harry just stood up and made for the door."Wait, Potter!" Draco ran after him and grabbed his arm."What do you want?" asked Harry angrily shaking Draco's arm away."Why are you going?" Harry glared at him."Well you apologized for kissing me because you don't like me so I guess there's nothing to say and as for your transfiguration, quite frankly I don't give a damn!" Harry opened the door but Draco closed it before he could step out."I never said that I didn't like you, I just apologized because I thought you wanted your first kiss to be with someone else and I'm sorry I took that away but I never said that I didn't like you" Harry took another deep breath."Do you?" Draco looked confused."Do I what?" Harry sighed exasperated."Like me?!? Do you like me?" asked Harry slowly. "Yes" it was so soft Harry thought he had imagined it.

Draco raised an eyebrow and Harry blushed so red he thought Draco could feel the heat coming from him. He concentrated again on a place to study and when he opened his eyes, the room was white and bright but not too bright there was a table with two chairs and a cauldron with vials filled with potions ingredients on top. There were potion books in a bookcase that was against the wall facing them."A little too bright for my taste but good" said Draco thoughtfully."Let's get started on that potion" Harry groaned but walked to the table with Draco."Now I want you to crush those to a fine powder" he said."That is a fine powder" said Harry stubbornly."Then a finer powder" said Draco rolling his eyes."Okay that's good now stir - no, you're letting too much air, slower-" he stood behind Harry grabbing his wrist and slowing his motion. Harry couldn't breathe, Draco was so close he could feel his warm breath on the back of his right ear, making him shiver. Draco felt Harry shivering and smiled to himself."Good, now it needs to simmer for ten minutes before adding the last of the ingredients for today" said Draco."What do you mean for today?" asked Harry."Well it takes ten days to be ready" said Draco simply."What?" asked Harry through gritted teeth."Don't worry, today was the hard part, the next nine days is just adding the powdered essence of murtlap a quarter of a teaspoon a day and twelve stirrings counter-clockwise" Harry was looking relieved.
"So the deal was that you would help me with potions if I helped you with transfiguration, right?" Harry looked at Draco."Right, I couldn't do that stupid turtle yesterday" said Draco angrily making Harry giggle."Stop that Potter, I didn't make fun of you when you made a Longbottom-worthy blunder" Harry glared at him."Fine" he started looking around the room looking for something small but then just took off his glasses"Here" he said handing them to a confused Draco."Er...Potter I can't do transfiguration but I can see fine" Harry glared at him and Draco noticed how different he looked without his glasses, you could see his eyes much better, his eyebrows and long, dark eyelashes, his whole face looked different.
"I know that I want you to touch them, feel every dent, follow every curve.Now, close your eyes...its similar to this room...just see them in your mind" he took the glasses away from Draco and handed him a book."Okay now see the book losing its rectangular shape and turning into black wire...like my glasses...can you see it?...don't open your eyes, now move your wand in a small circle once and say "cambiare" that's one of the basic incantations for small inanime objects." Harry was looking at Draco proudly."Open your eyes" he said smiling. Draco opened his eyes and saw Harry's glasses in his hand he rolled his eyes thinking that they were really Harry's glasses but when he looked up at Harry's smiling face he saw he was wearing a pair that looked exactly like the ones he was holding."I can't believe that closed eyes crap worked" Harry glared at him."Your welcome, that's the last time I'm going to be teaching you anything" said Harry angrily. "Hey, I didn't mean it like that I just, you know I can't do that in McGonagall's class" he said looking apologetically at Harry."I know I just wanted you try like that because its easier but after you practice you can concentrate with your eyes opened" Draco was looking sheepish."You didn't really mean that about not teaching me anything again,right?" He walked up to Harry and kneeled in front of him."Of course I did" said Harry seriously."But I said I was sorry" whined Draco."Actually you didn't" reminded him Harry. "Well I did now, didn't I?" Harry rolled his eyes and stood up, Draco did too. He leaned in and kissed Harry full on the lips, Harry not expecting that lost his balance and fell on the sofa, Draco on top. They kissed until Draco felt that Harry had stopped breathing."Hey, breathe I don't want you to pass out" he said making Harry blush. Harry couldn't believe it, Draco had kissed him...DRACO MALFOY KISSED ME!!! but then he felt confused he didn't know if Draco liked him or just wanted a better grade on transfiguration.
"Why?" he asked softly."Why what?" asked Draco looking at him with a small frown."Why did you kissed me?" he clarified."What do you mean?" Draco didn't understand what was going on, he seemed to like the kiss, maybe it was that blasted Finnegan, maybe they were -"I mean do you fancy me or just want to pass transfiguration?" Harry interrupted his mind's rambling. Draco looked him in the eyes and saw sincere curiosity."Why do you ask?" Harry took a deep breath."Because I always thought that my first kiss would be with someone who at least liked me" Draco's eyes widen a little.
"That, was your first kiss?" he asked thickly.Harry looked at him but didn't bother with a reply."I'm sorry I didn't know" Harry just stood up and made for the door."Wait, Potter!" Draco ran after him and grabbed his arm."What do you want?" asked Harry angrily shaking Draco's arm away."Why are you going?" Harry glared at him."Well you apologized for kissing me because you don't like me so I guess there's nothing to say and as for your transfiguration, quite frankly I don't give a damn!" Harry opened the door but Draco closed it before he could step out."I never said that I didn't like you, I just apologized because I thought you wanted your first kiss to be with someone else and I'm sorry I took that away but I never said that I didn't like you" Harry took another deep breath."Do you?" Draco looked confused."Do I what?" Harry sighed exasperated."Like me?!? Do you like me?" asked Harry slowly. "Yes" it was so soft Harry thought he had imagined it.
