You're My Favorite Song

I do not own Harry Potter or his cohorts. Credit belongs to JK Rowling. If I did own them...Oh the naughty things I would do...MWAHAHAHAHA! Nor do I own the Discovery Channel. I wanna thank Maximum Poofy and BratPrincess- 187 for giving me the inspiration to write again. R&R Please and although flames are not welcome, constructive criticisms are.

Chapter 1. 1sImpression

Harry stepped into his class just as the final bell rang to signal the start of Monday morning. It was a mild October day and all the students were well into the scheme of things in their new school year.

"Another boring week," Harry muttered to himself, "Why can't I just sleep the entire week away."

He made his way toward the back of the classroom where he sat next to Hermione, school know-it-all and best friend of Harry for the past decade. He rested his head as his friend began to describe her weekend with Ron, her boyfriend and Harry's other best friend. He slowly drifted into a light nap. Noticing her friend's lack of interest, she decided to take the opportunity to regain that attention. She took her Bio book out of her book bag and slammed it onto the sleeping boy's desk.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Harry screamed.

Everyone in the class looked at the commotion happening at the back. Harry was standing and was panting very hard and his friend was trying hard to hold back her laughter but failed. Harry was beet red, to say the least, as he slunk back down into his chair.

"Now, if you don't mind, Mr. Potter," Mr. Lupin, his Geometry teacher exclaimed, "Please calm down while I introduce a new student."

"Damn it 'Mione!" Harry hissed, but his friend was still laughing incessantly.

"Alright everyone! We have a new student with us today." His teacher began, "His name, I believe is. let me just check the chart. ahh yes, Draco Malfoy." There were some slight murmur within the class as everyone heard the name. "Please give him a nice, warm welcome to Ridgeview High. Why don't you tell them a little about yourself while I look for a place for you to sit?"

The new boy nodded in agreement.

"Actually, I like to be called Drake." All the girls in the room seemed to sigh as Drake spoke. He had a nice British drawl and wasn't that bad looking himself. Drake stood at 5' 11" and looked about 160 lbs. He had a nice tan and his platinum blond hair seemed to hide his pale gray eyes. His eyes glimmered with a sort of confidence yet showed a tinge of sadness and confusion.

It was odd when Harry sensed the confusion in his eyes. He noticed the contrast to the blond at the front of the class. He had black hair that was gelled and spiked; he stood at 5' 7" and weighed about 140 lbs. He was slightly pale with the fall season and his green eyes emanated a sort of calming aura. Harry was drawn to the boy at the front of the class.

"This is someone to keep an eye one," he thought.

"Well my mum and I just moved here from England." Drake said, "She was transferred here. She's now a Journalist for "The Orator" so she works in New York City. We moved to New Jersey cuz my mum lived here for like a couple years and she grew fond of it. Umm...I play the guitar in my spare time and I like to write my own songs and poems. Yea I guess that's it for me."

"Aren't you the son of that guy who runs Malfoy Corporation?" Seamus asked.

"Yes, I am...my dad is the president of that company, but my parents are divorced. Umm...if you don't mind, I don't like to talk about my dad that much. He's a great guy but I don't really know him that well."

Seamus looked down at his desk as he noticed that he had hit a soft spot.

"OK, I have your seat." Mr. Lupin said. "Harry, would you please raise your hand?"

Harry did as he was told.

"You will be sitting next to Harry. Please take your seat."

"Alright," Drake replied.

He promptly sat down next to Harry.

"Hi! I'm Drake." He greeted Harry.

"Yea, I know." He said with a smile.

Drake extended his hand to Harry and he reluctantly took it. He felt a jolt running through his arm but dismissed it as static shock.

"So what class do you have next, Drake?" Harry whispered.

"I think its Pre-Calc," He replied, "I think the girl next to you is trying to get your attention."

"Fine! Just leave me out of the conversation!" Said an exasperated Hermione.

"Sorry," Harry apologized, "Drake this is my good friend Hermione. 'Mione you know Drake, right?"

They said their hello's and made small talk as the class started.

"Oh yea, what room do you have Pre-Calc, Drake?" Harry asked.

"It says here I have it in room 104." Drake replied

"That's my class, too."

"Cool, I guess that I'll follow you to the class seeing that I don't know where anything is."

"No prob!"

"Yea, when do you have lunch? It says here I have it 6th period.

"That's my lunch as well."

"Can I sit with you?"

"I guess, but I'm not much in the social standings of the school. If your looking to climb to the top, I'm not the kind of person you'd wanna hang out with."

"Are you kidding!? You're a cool kid Harry and I could care less what your social status is in school. I like people for the way they are, not for their social standings. I don't really care what people think about me. But because of it I have a new philosophy on life: If you're an ass to me or my friends, your not worth my time."

"Thanks," Harry's eyes seemed to glimmer, "That was kind of you."

Like he said, Harry wasn't much of a social butterfly. He, 'Mione and Ron were on what you would call the "Social Borderline". They had enough social status to get noticed by people once in a while.

Soon the class was over and the bell for the next class had rung. Harry and Drake made their way to Pre-Calc. Drake had to talk to Mrs. Trelawny but Harry made his way to his seat.

Drake was seated in the front of the class. It was prime place for Harry to sit and stare at Drake. As he sat there, this got Harry thinking. He became more and more interested at Drake. The more interested he became, the more attracted Drake seemed.

"Whoa," Harry thought to himself, "I'm not gay, am I?"

He dropped his head as he pondered the notion. Sure, he's never been attracted to guys before, but he was never attracted to girls either. He didn't know what to do. Although, he did seem to catch small things that Drake did. Like the way Drake bit his pencil while he was deep in thought, or how he tilted his head to the left when he wrote something down or how cute he seemed to look when he had to brush some stray strands of hair from his face.

"Maybe I am gay," Harry thought, "or at least bi."

He sighed to himself.

"Like he's gonna turn out to be gay anyway!"

He pushed any sort of notion of attraction he had toward Drake.

Lunch finally rolled around. Drake found Harry sitting alone with Hermione in a quiet alcove in the caf.

"Hey guys," he called out to them.

Harry waved him over. Hermione smiled and started to talk about something she saw on the Discovery Channel. Just then Ron walked up to the table.

"Hey guys!" The boy with the flaming red hair said, "Who's the new guy?"

"Ron this is Drake. Drake, Ron." Harry introduced.

Ron shook Drake's hand as he took the seat next to his girlfriend.

"Oh god! Let the cuddling begin!" Harry teased.

This got him a well deserved smack in the head from 'Mione.

"OWW!" He yelled, "Second time today, 'Mione."

The entire table was laughing at Harry's predicament but soon 'Mione and Ron were preoccupied in feeding each other with their lunches.

"I think I'm gonna puke!" Harry said as he faked gagging noises.

The got a smile from Drake. Harry melted as he saw the boy smile.

"I bet you kill all the girls with that smile." Harry said.

All of a sudden, Drake seemed very agitated. He excused himself from the table and left rather quickly. Harry sighed as he watched Drake leave the caf. Harry didn't see Drake for the rest of the day.

The final bell rang to signal the end of the day. Harry made his way to the locker. His mind seemed to be filled with thoughts of Drake and the event that happened in the lunch room that he really didn't notice anything else around him. He crashed into Marcus Flint and his two cronies, Crabbe and Goyle in an empty hallway.

"Watch where your goin', freak!" Marcus yelled at the smaller boy.

Marcus was the captain of the football team and stood at 6'0" weighed at around 200 lbs. The two other boys were considerably shorter but weighed the same as Marcus.

"Sorry," Harry said as he started to walk away.

"Hey! We're not through with you yet."

Marcus grabbed Harry and pushed him against the locker.

"Look at what you did to my boots! Your gonna pay for that."

Marcus pushed him into the lockers again. This time, one of the locks dug into Harry's back as he screamed out in pain. Harry fell to the floor.

"That'll teach you to mess with me." Marcus said as he kicked Harry in his stomach.

"HEY! What do you think your doing?" A voice said down the hall.

Harry didn't recognize the voice. The pain was to intense for him to know what was going on around him. Suddenly the person ran to Harry's side.

"Hey pretty-boy! You got a problem with me teachin' this nothin' his place." Marcus said with malice.

"Yea, I do you asshole!" retorted the boy.

Harry did realize the person talking had a British drawl in his voice. He knew it was Drake.

Marcus and his two bodyguards came at Drake in a break neck pace. Drake easily dodged Crabbe and Goyle. He then punched Marcus squarely in the jaw and then kicked him in the groin. Marcus fell to the ground as his two friends came to his aid.

"You...won't...get away...with.this!" Marcus said through his gasps as he was carried away by his two friends. Drake rushed to Harry's side.

"Are you alright?" Drake asked.

"Yea I'm fine." Harry replied.

Drake tried to help Harry up off the floor but when Harry touched where the lock had hit Harry, he winced in pain.

"Come on, I'll take you to my house. I live only a couple blocks away from here anyway. Plus I wanna look at that spot where you felt pain."

"Thanks," replied Harry, "I owe you big time."

"Well, your friendship is enough for me, Harry." Drake helped Harry up, trying as much not to touch the tender spot on his back. They then slowly made their way to Drake's house.
