"Why did I...? That's a very complicated question..." I folded my arms across my chest and watched him expectantly. "Let's just say that I had a 'thing' for you back in school that hasn't quite found a way out," he said truthfully.

"A 'thing'? Draco, you harassed me to no end! You made my life a living hell!" He grinned and nodded sitting down at his desk, and pulling out some writing utensils. I pulled the quill out of his hand before he had a chance to write.

"Okay, okay. I had a thing for you, but I didn't know how to show it. It's not every day that you find out that not only are you gay, but you have a crush on the boy you're supposed to hate with every fiber of your being."

"That's deep." Draco shrugged. This time when the silence came, it was much worse then before. That saying 'silence is deafening' doesn't even begin to cover it.

"Could I have my quill back?" I held it out to his and blushed when his hand touched mine. I know it's childish, but it's not like I could stop it! "You're sure when you blush like that," Draco murmured, barely audible.

I blinked and turned even redder, if that was even possible. "Goodnight, Draco." I stood up and made to leave. I heard a soft grunting sound and a hand grabbed my wrist, spinning me back around. Draco lightly brushed his lips against mine and let go of my hand.

I stared at him in shock. "Goodnight." I stood frozen as he sat down at his neck and began to write in silence. I couldn't move. I only stared at the back of his head, my mind running circles around my heart, wondering why he did that and if he meant what he said.

It took me a moment to gather my wits and run out of there. But I soon realized that I had no clue where I was going. I sighed and leaned up against a wall. What was wrong with me?

I must've fallen asleep some time shortly after that. When I woke up I was lying on a strange bed clad only in my boxers. Of course, the blankets covered me enough, but that was beside the point, here!

I pulled the blanket tight around me when I noticed the sleeping figure of Draco at the vanity mirror. I looked around for something to wear, and lo-and-behold, an outfit was set out for me on the end of the bed.

Hurriedly I put them on, not really looking as to what they were. Once they were on, I looked down at myself and smiled. Not bad. Red shirt and blue jeans. I walked over to Draco. He had my ribbon in his hand. I took it back and he stirred.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to wake you." I started to tie the ribbon in my hair.

"Five more minutes, Blaise. Go screw Pansy." I blinked. Woah...too much information.

"I'm not Blaise. I'm Harry."

"Harry?" he mumbled.

"Yeah."

"Harry...hmm....why are you in my room?" I smiled and shook his shoulders.

"Draco...I'm not in your room." He jumped up and looked around.

"You're right. I have no gold in my room..." he muttered the last part mainly to himself. I couldn't help but laugh. "What? I don't. It's all black and silver and green and red..." he trailed off for a minute before gasping and turning a bright red. "WHY AM I IN YOUR ROOM?!"

"I was going to ask you the same thing."

"MILLIE!!!" A pop and the house elf appeared. "Why am I not in my own room?"

"Master Draco, you asked to be left alone, so I left you here after you carried Master Harry and dressed him for bed." I felt myself blush.

"Oh...when's breakfast, then?" Nice change of topics, Dray.

"It's ready when you are, sir."

"Ah! Thank you." Another pop and she was gone. I shifted from one foot to the other, watching Draco use my brush to fix his long blond hair. Once he'd finished he got up and pushed me down into the seat.

He pulled my ribbon out and I squawked in protest. "Jeeze, Harry. Breathe. I'll give it back to you in a moment." He began to brush out my hair and I had to admit, it felt good not having to stretch my arm trying to brush it by myself.

Draco set the brush down on the vanity and began to tie my hair back using my ribbon. "I need to buy you more ribbons. This one looks odd with the red." I think he was saying that more to himself then to me. "Done." He grabbed my hand and started pulling like an anxious boy in a candy store, wanting to show his parents everything.

I laughed and followed him. "And you said you were mature?" He pouted.

"Only after I've had my morning coffee and when I'm not trying to impress people." I grinned as he pulled me through the long halls and down to the end of one. Dead end. "I'm hungry, Dillas. Let us in?" The wall folded in just like the wall at Diagon Alley did. I gaped as I was pulled in to the large kitchen.

I was sitting on the couch when Draco plopped down next to me. "Stupid Shyeir." I blinked and looked over at him.

"Shyeir?"

"Yeah. He's an old friend of my father's...well...was. I wrote to him about that Potions job and he said that there was no way in hell he's work with little children." He began to rub at his temples.

"Headache?" I asked. He nodded. "You might hate me for saying this, but what about Remus?"

"Remus...? As in Lupin? The werewolf?" He looked at me as if I were a rainbow-colored apple of sorts.

"Yes, Remus Lupin, the werewolf. He's not as good at Potions as Snape, but he was really good at it in school. In fact, I think he was really good at everything he did." I smiled.

"I think I'll owl him next, if Johnny doesn't work out." He turned his body towards mine and I felt my cheeks burn. I looked away, back out the window where I'd been looking before. I gasped and turned to look at Draco when I felt his hand caress my cheek.

I froze at what I saw there in his eyes. It was a lust I hadn't seen since the time Sirius came back and Remus jumped him. Who would've thought that they were lovers since childhood? They only broke up when he had supposedly given away my parents' hiding place.

I pulled back a bit when he leaned forward. "What are yo-"but my sentence was cut off when cool lips pressed heatedly to mine.

A/N: Hehe... ::Hides:: I know it's a bad place to leave it...but...there isn't anything you can do about it? I'm thinking there'll be two more chapters...maybe...but the next chappie is all bad things that do indeed make this thing R-rated. It's also less then a page in length. So, now review! The Lord of the Underworld commands it! ::Choke:: Right... Review?
