A/N: Hi. I'm now back again. I'm sorry for the wait but after I came home from the US, I got a slight writer-block. Thankfully it's gone now.
I have decided that I would like a beta-reader for my story, so if anyone is interested please let me know.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters.
"speak" and 'thoughts'
Chapter five: Unexpected feelings
- - - - - - - -
About tree months time had passed since Darian arrived. The time had went by fast, and Harry and Darian had grown close to each other. At the moment they were sitting at the Griffindor table eating dinner. Harry was just about to start on his second helping when he felt Snape's eyes on him. The intense gaze always made the hairs on his neck raise. When he looked up their eyes locked. It was strange. Snape's eyes wasn't filled with the usual intense dislike. Instead it was like he was simply watching him. It made Harry confused. He didn't know if he should be relieved or worried.
He was brought out of his musings by Darian who tried to get his attention.
"Come on Harry. We should be going. You have eaten enough. You should be stuffed by now."
"Yes I'm coming, I'm coming. Just give me a sec. I's not like the books will disappear."
Darian smirked, and for a moment Harry thought he reminded him of someone.
"Ah, but you see. It's much more interesting to study than watching you stuffing food in your mouth."
"Really, and this comes from him who usually is one of the last people to finish eating." Harry laughed.
"Hmf..." was all he received as an answer.

Harry and Darian spend most of their time studying together, since the exams were approaching fast. They had soon found out that it was too much noise in the common room, and the library was always full. Therefor Harry had showed Darian the room of requirement. There they were able to study in peace.
Harry found himself spending all of his time with Darian. After Ron finally had gotten up the courage to ask Hermione out, it seemed like they didn't have time for anyone else. Harry felt happy for them, and it wasn't like they were alone to blame for them slipping apart. They were still friends and always would be. They had been through to much together to not be, it was just that Harry kind of preferred Darian's company. It was like he could be more like himself with him. The way that he felt towards Darian was probably also one of the reasons. Over the the last months he had slowly fallen deeper and deeper in love with him. Each time they were together it felt like it was something pulling him towards Darian. Like they should be together. He had never felt anything like this before. He hadn't even known he was gay. The final proof had been when he had woken up all sticky after a dream about him. He hadn't been able to look Darian in the eyes for days. He was praying that Darian felt the same way, but with his luck the was probably as strait as an arrow.
Harry had tried to build up the courage to ask him many times without succeeding. He didn't want to risk the friendship they had. So therefor he found himself once again curled up in a chair next to Darian studying charms. He was tired and his head was feeling like it was going to explode from an overload of information. One look at the clock told him that it was time to go the dormitory. Darian looked up from his book when Harry stood up.
"Is it that late already?"
"Yes, we should get to bed. I'm beaten."
Darian stretched and stood up slowly. After packing up all their thing they headed out of the room. Almost at the door, Harry tripped on one of the pillows lying on the floor and fell over Darian. They both landed hard on the floor with Harry on top. He started to to pull off him but suddenly froze when he looked into a pair of piercing blue eyes. It was like he was pulled by a hidden force, and before he knew what he was doing, he was slowly lowering his mouth towards his. The kiss was sweet but far to short. When he pulled away he felt dizzy, like he had found something he didn't know he was looking for. He lowered himself down again and this time Darian met him halfway. When their lips met it was like time stopped, like nothing mattered but them. After what felt like an eternity and a second at the same time, the kiss ended. They both gasped when they looked up. A glowing mist was surrounding them, twisted together in a beautiful mix of gold and silver.

A/N: Thank you for all the reviews. I know this chapter is short, but I promise the next one will be longer. I'll post it as soon as possible.
To Katie Lupin Black: We went to the US to visit some family. We first went to Florida for a week, and then we were three weeks on Long Island. It was great, especially to meet everyone again since I haven't seem them since I was like 6 or 7 years old. We also spend one day in New York. You know, when you are a tourist you have to go there and see everything like the World trade center, Time square, Ground zero and the Statue of Liberty. Did you know that the copper the torch is made of comes from about a mile away from where I live...?
