You're My Favorite Song
Disclaimer: Yea I do not own Harry or his cohorts. All the credit belongs to J. K. Rowling and her amazing wrinting talent.

Although flames are generally ignored, constructive criticism is very welcome.
A/N: YAY! 23 reviews...well 22 cuz of that wierd one which i'm not gonna count. but still it went from 16 to 23 in under three days. After having a wonderful weekend at my church's retreat and coming home to see wonderful reviews I am VERY inspired to write. Yea so i treid the whole writing the story on paper then typing, but thats too much work. But if i do need to revise a chapter i will, i already revised chapters 1 and 2 because i was not at all pleased with it. I don't know about chapter 3 cuz its my favorite chapter so far and barring spelling mistakes, its all good. I also have written a oneshot fanfic called My Angel. Check it out while you wait for the next update. I'm babbling...ON TO THE REVIEWERS.
Yes i know that although i didn't personally thank the reviews in my last chapter cuz there wasn't enough. I will thank them now in this chapter.
DanishGirl- hmmm...right now i can't decide what age i want Harry to be. But it will either be 15 or 16...hmmmm...ya know what...he's 15...15 is an age where you are still niave to a lot of things but it also gives Harry room to mature as a person.
HellPhoenixSirius- I don't know either...or maybe i do...you'll just have to stay tuned and find out.
Gya- Yes i know Drake means duck...but i think Drake is a hot name. The name Draco seems a bit too snotty for me and Drake in the story is not a snob at all...at least not after the incident...whoops i revealed too much...MWAHAhAhAHAHA!
Shadow Demon- I will try my best to email the updates to you...but the best thing to do if you really want to know when i update is to sign up for even though you don't have a story. Thats how I started. I Signed up and read the fics and reviewed even though i didn't write. Then I was inspired to write after many months of only reading. Thats my best solution for that. But i will gladly write to you as often as I can.
Emerald Dragon Girl- Yes I do cook while listening to music...hell i do everything listening to music. I can't seem to operate well without some song playing in the background.
Dude Formerly Known As Coty- Nice name...hahaha...well here's chapter 4...i hope you enjoy it.
Emma-Lizzy-Black- ummm yea he would be gay...or at least questioning cuz it is a slash fiction...hahahaha! I'm glad you enjoy it though.
SailorBaby16- hmmm...i plan to make this a very slow and painful realization with each other. I know it will be torture on you guyz...it will prolly take about 3-4 more chapters for them to get into a relationship...if i'm feeling happy that is...but as of right now i'm in an angsty kinda feeling so i don't know how long it will take. I know its kinda cruel to leave you guyz hanging but i have read stories that draws out the realization of a relationship for several chapters and thats one of the main reasons why i keep reading a fanfic. But do not worry...it prolly won't take as long as i intend it to be. I babble don't I?
driven to insanity- wow! I'm happy that you are speechless...hope you like the next instalment.
Nyoka Li- I have decided not to use a beta reader for now cuz i just want get the story posted on. But if you do have any suggestions or criticisms please feel free to email them to me as constructive criticisms will be welcomed wholeheartedly. Then i will revise accordingly.
AJ586- whoa...i thought i was the only one that still uses neato...hahaha...
Whoo Hoo! Finished. Alright. I will continue thanking every reviewer personally until it gets too much of a hassel or if the thank yous are getting longer than the story itself. But i will continue to thank the regular reviewers. A lot of the characters are very OOC...a lot of them are based on people i know. Harry is based loosely on me (more like who i want to be...hahahaha) while Draco is loosely based on my ex-boyfriend. Oh yea and questions comments or anything else you can email to Sorry for the grammatical/spelling errors...i'm using wordpad and it doesn't have spell check...Now on to Chapter 4
Chapt. 4 - Kiss From a Rose
Harry woke up the next day confused at the thought of having the same dream twice in a row. However this time there was more to the dream. Once again he pushed it to the back of his mind blaming stress as the factor of the dream. It had been a very exhausting day yesterday. At least the swelling was completely gone, but there was still the tell tale signs of a bruise. He looked at the clock and saw it was only 6:30. He had 45 minutes before Drake would be there with his mom to pick him up for school. He followed his usual routine of taking a shower, brushing his teeth, and fixing his hair. After battling his hair for ten minutes he decided it was a lost cause and left it the way it was. He picked out a small marroon t-shirt with a logo of some surf shop from California and a pair of khaki cargo shorts. He slapped on some cologne and his watch and started to look for his shoes. When he couldn't find it he decided that it was a warm enough day that he could wear flip-flops. (A/N-this is what i wore the first day of college) He grabbed his orange messenger bag and headed out the door to wait for Drake.
He didn't have to wait long because he saw a green Jeep pull up with Drake in it. Drake got out of the car to let Harry into the back seat. He then introduced Harry to his mom. Narcissa was a sight to behold. Her shoulder lenghth hair was as blonde as Drake's. Her eyes were slate grey with a slight green tinge near the iris. She looked young, around twenty to twenty-five. Hell, Drake and Narcissa could have passed for brother and sister. She was stunning.
Harry greeted Drake and Narcissa when he stepped into the car. He was a bit nervous that he might make a fool of himself but he relaxed when Drake turned from his seat and smiled at Harry. It was silent in the car as they made their way to the school. It was only 7:20 and school won't be starting for another half an hour, so they would make good time. Drake asked Harry if he was feeling better. Although Harry didn't want to talk about what happened yesterday, he told Drake that he was feeling better. Drake seemed relieved. The rest of the trip to school was accompanied by a bit of small talk between Harry and Drake. Narcissa dropped both of the teens in front of the school around 7:30. Drake kissed her mom on the cheek before leaving the car. Narcissa said that she was coming home from work pretty late because theres a deadline coming up and she needed to finish her story. So she said for Drake to start dinner without her. He sighed and said ok. Drake stepped out of the car and rushed to where Harry was waiting.
"Thanks for the ride, Drake. You've done so much for me in the past day that I can't thank you enough." Harry said.
"Alright! This is the last time I'm going to say this. Your friendship is all the thanks I need." Drake replied.
"Thanks...whoops. Sorry!" Harry laughed.
Both boys made their way to their homeroom class. 'Mione was already in the class and as soon as Harry stepped through the door, her motherly instincts kicked in. She was fussing all over Harry as if Harry was dying or something. She kept asking him if he was alright or if he needed any help. Harry told her he was fine and although her concern is well taken, it was kind of a bit smothering him. She then walked over to Drake and gave him a warm and thankful embrace.
"Thank you so much for helping Harry out," she said.
Drake sighed and said what he told Harry earlier in the front of the school. The rest of the morning turned out to be uneventful. During lunch Drake excused himself from the table to the choir room. Harry asked if he could come along. Drake agreed telling Harry that although he liked to work alone, he would make the exception for Harry. Both boys made their way to the choir room and got the keys to the practice room. Drake took a seat at the piano and Harry sat next to him. Drake placed a piece he wrote himself on the music stand. It looked like he had been working on it for quite some time. There were many erasures and markings on the pages.
As he began to play, the notes seemed to leap off the pages, filling the entire room with a haunting yet calming melody. He then started to sing, no real words, just vocalizing with the music. The song sent shivers up Harry's spine, and the more intense the music got so did Drake. Harry couldn't help but stare at the blond boy that was sitting next to him. The mystery that is Drake was tantalizing to Harry. He was lost in the music. Drake finished the piece and looked to Harry.
"So what do you think?" he asked.
"That was amazing," Harry replied. "I've never heard anything like it. Did you write that yourself."
"Yea, I've been working on it for a while. Actually I finished it last night."
"You've got quite the talent."
"Hehe! Thanks, it comes from years of practice." The bell rang to signal the end of lunch.
"Well I'd better get to class. I don't wanna be late." Harry said as they walked out of the practice room.
"Alright. I guess I'll see you later." Drake said walking the other way to give the keys back to the choir director.
Harry didn't see Drake for the rest of the day. It seems that he only has homeroom and Pre-Calc with Drake. He was a bit disappointed because he wouldn't be able to stare at Drake in all his other classes. Although, the boy haunted his daydreams the entire day. Drake was just a surprise a minute. Based on outward appearance, he looked like a snobby rich kid, but Harry saw the true Drake that was inside. He was pleased at what he saw.
Harry was in his last class, which was English, patiently waiting for the bell to signal the end of the day. The bell finally rang and Harry left to find 'Moine before going to his locker. They were going to go to the library to get some much needed (according to 'Moine) study time. Harry met up with 'Mione at her locker as she was closing her locker. Then they made their way to Harry's locker. Ron and Drake caught up with them as they turned the corner to Harry's locker. Suddenly, 'Moine and Ron stopped while Harry and Drake continued. Harry confused by his friends' wierd behavior asked what's wrong.
"Harry, there's something on your locker," Ron stated pointing to his locker.
Harry turned around and saw what everyone was looking at. Taped to his locker was a white rose in full bloom. There was a note tied onto the stem of the rose. Harry took off the rose and read the note.
"You're my favorite song," Harry read aloud.
"HA.HA. HA. Very funny guys." Harry said.
"It wasn't us," the Ron and 'Moine exclaimed. Harry looked at Drake and shrugged, "Looks like you have a secret admirer."
"Yea, me have a secret admirer!? Its probably Marcus pulling a prank or something.
"Hey you never know," Drake said.
Harry opened his locker and tossed the rose into it grabbed the books he needed and closed it again.
"Hey 'Moine, mind if i skip the study session today. I need to think on a few things." Harry asked.
"But Harry! Snape's test is this Friday. You need help and you know it. Fine, take a rest. But tomorrow, your studying wheter you like it or not."
"Alright, I guess i'll see you guys tomorrow then." Harry waved them goodbye and left for the bus stop.
"Hey Harry!" Drake called out, "Need a ride, I'm sure my mom would be willing to drop you off."
"I wouldn't want to bother you."
"Its not a problem. Come on."
"OK." With that both boys walked to the front of the school to wait for Drake's mom. It was a quite ride to Harry's house as Harry just sat in the back of the car and thought about the rose.
End of Chapter 4
There ya go...not bad...but not great either...I wonder who the secret admirer is. I know who the obvious choice is...but i don't know if i should do that or make it a different person. Make it a bit more interesting if more than one person is after Harry's heart. What do you think? Leave some love on the reviews!
