THE NEXT MORNING.....

Harry walked into the Great Hall. He quickly found Hermione and Ron and sat down. "Hiya Harry." said Ron cheerfully. "Good morning Harry."added Hermione. Harry simply said ,"Hi." Harry didn't get any sleep the night before. He tossed and turned thinking about the letter. "Are you all right Harry?" asked Ron worried. "Yea Harry, you look a little tired." said Hermione. "I didn't get much sleep last night, thats all." Harry replied. "I hope you've thought about Malfoy." said Ron. What! How could Ron know! He told Hermione not to tell him. "What?" asked Harry horrified. "You know that whole thing about working with him and it being O.K."said Ron "Oh. Yeah." answered Harry relieved. "Good. Cause we have Potions today." said Ron. Oh no! Harry completely forgot. How was he going to sit and work beside Malfoy, after he knew all of this??

IN POTIONS........

"We're going to be finishing our sleeping potions today." drawled Snape." Get with your partners." The class got up from their seats and moved next to their partners. Harry grabbed his bag and sat next to Malfoy. "Begin" said Snape. "Don't touch me Potter. " snapped Malfoy. "I wouldn't touch you if you were the last person on earth." Harry snapped back. Draco grabbed the rest of the ingredients they needed, pushed up his sleeves, and began to work. Harry stared at him in awe again. He watched his bleach blonde hair fall in his face, he watched his eyes. Those eyes were amazing. "What am I doing!" Harry asked himself.

The bell rang for the end of class. "Leave your potions on your desk and I'll be around to check them." Harry grabbed his bag from under his desk, and hurled it onto his shoulders. But in doing so, he also hurled the cauldron off the desk and it fell on the floor, spilling all the contents along with it. Harry stared at Snape in horror. Draco looked like he could have killed him. "Potter, clean this up...now. " Harry bent down and cleaned up the mess. "You and Mr. Malfoy will report back here at 7:00 tonight to make a new potion. Do you understand me?" "Yes sir." said the boys in unison. "Leave." demanded Snape. Both boys headed out the door together. "God Potter. You can't do anything right. You always have to screw everything up." snarled Malfoy. "Shut up Malfoy. It was an accident."snapped Harry. "Well, your "accident" has us both coming back here tonight. It's bad enough I have to work with you during the day." said Malfoy "You think I want to be stuck with an arrogant conceited prick like you?" growled Harry. Malfoy turned around. "What did you just call me?!" yelled Draco. "You heard me. Oh, but I guess it's not entirely your fault. Your father is the same thing. I guess it must run in the family."

Draco's eyes were like fire. His face was red with anger. "Don't you dare insult me and my family, you fucking asshole." he said between clenched teeth. "Awww. Is little Draco ups-" Harry was cut short by Malfoy's fist hitting him hard in the eye. Harry stumbled and looked at the boy. Draco was enraged. He turned on his heel and stormed down the hall.

IN THE COMMON ROOM.......

Harry walked into the common room after his incident with Draco. He found Ron sitting in a chair by the fire and Hermione sitting on his lap. When they heard Harry come in they turned around. "Hi Harry."said Ron. "Oh my gosh Harry! What happened to your face?"asked Hermione shocked. "Now Herm.Thats not nice. I know Harry isn't the best looking guy in the world, but you shouln't tell him that." said Ron. "Thanks a lot Ron." replied Harry. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." said Ron quickly. "What I meant, was why do you have a big purple bruise around your eye?" said Hermione. Harry looked in a window and saw that there was indeed a huge purple bruise where Draco had hit him. "Oh. Me and Malfoy argued after Potions." Harry replied. "I'd say you did!" shouted Ron. "What happened?" asked Hermione. "Well, he was calling me irresponsible, so I said a few things." said Harry "Like...."said Hermione and Ron together. "I called him an arrogant conceited prick and that his father was one too." "GO HARRY!" yelled Ron. "No Ron. Harry! How could you say such a thing!"damanded Hermione. "What are you talking about Hermione! Thats what Malfoy is!" Ron exclaimed. " I know, but Harry shouldn't have said that." "Why? Malfoy calls us worse things then that all the time." asked Ron. "I know, but we shouldn't stoop down to his level. We're better than that." "Whatever. So Harry, does Malfoy have any battle scars?" asked Ron hopefully. "No." Harry replied. "Darn." said Ron sadly. Harry looked at the clock and realized that it was 6:45. He had to be down in Snapes class in 15 minutes. "Oh, sorry guys, but I have to be in Snape's class by 7:00 to redo the sleeping potion with Malfoy." "Why?" Hermione and Ron asked together. "I dropped the cauldron on my way out." replied Harry. "Oh. Good Luck." said Hermione. "See you." said Ron. "Bye." called Harry on his way out.

Harry turned the doorknob to Snape's classroom and opened the door. He walked in and saw that Malfoy was already sitting at a desk with a cauldron and all the ingredients laid out before him. Snape was no where in sight. Harry quietly sat next to the blonde. "Where's Snape?"Harry asked. Draco looked at him and said, "He said that he had something to do. He told us to work alone." "Oh." Harry said relieved. It would be much easier to work without Snape breathing down his neck. "Shit. I forgot something."said Draco. He got up out of his seat, and headed towards the cabinets. Harry found himself staring at Dracos ass. "He has a really nice ass."thought Harry. "Ewww." he said quietly. Suddenly, Draco turned around. "Excuse me. I would appreciate it if you stopped looking at my arse." Draco simply said. "What! You actually thought that I was staring at you?! Dream on." Harry snapped. "Your still doing it! Honestly Potter, if your going to stare at my hot ass, you could at least try not to make it so obvious. Your practically drooling." replied Draco. "For the last time, I am not staring at your ass. Now shut up and let's get this thing over with." Harry said. Draco sat down and began working "Hand me that." Draco said pointing to a small bottle. Harry did as he was told. They worked in silence for a good half hour, before Harry opened his mouth. "Look, I'm sorry I called you that." Draco hesitated, then said, "It's O.K. My dad is a prick, so I guess that makes me one too." Harry gave a small laugh. "I guess I'm sorry for hitting you." said Draco. "You guess?" Harry said. "O.K. I'm sorry. Happy now?" Draco snarled "It's O.K. I think this bruise is rather fetching on me. Don't you think?" asked Harry jokingly. "Everything is rather fetching on you." Draco mumbled. "What?" Harry asked surprised. "Nothing."the blonde replied. "Let's get this finished. They worked for an hour, before they were done. They put away the ingredients and placed the cauldron on Snape's desk. They went back to their desk to grab their bags. Harry bent down to pick up Draco's bag for him. He handed the boy his bag. Draco took it, but in doing so, brushed his hand against Harrys. Draco felt this overwhelming sensation. His whole body went warm. The same thing happened to Harry. Harry did not remove Draco's hand. The two boys stared at each other. Draco moved in closer and touched the bruise on Harry's eye. Harry winced, but didn't remove the warm hand. He closed his eyes for a couple of seconds, moved closer, then backed away. Draco removed his hand. "I have to go." Harry said. He grabbed his bag, and walked through the door. The blonde was left standing in the classroom alone.
