It was the first day of the new term. Harry boarded the Hogwarts
Express eagerly with Ron, Hermione, and Ginny and they quickly got a
compartment as close to the back as possible. They quickly began discussing
what had happened during the summer, when the door slid openly swiftly.
They stopped their conversation suddenly and stared into the pale face of
Draco Malfoy.
"Hello Potter. Have a nice summer?" Draco drawled on with his sarcastic tone.
"Of course I did. I spent it at Ron's house." said Harry simply.
"Oh...", Draco said, without being able to think of a good insult. He glanced at Harry and saw that jovial sparkle in his eye just like he had the first day at Hogwarts. The first day he came to realize his terrible secret. A secret that would disgrace his entire family name.
But, beginning his sixth year, Draco could put it off no longer. He needed to get it out.
:"Harry, can I speak with you a moment...in private?" Draco asked.
Harry looked hesitently at his friends and silently questioned them on if he should go alone with Draco or not. He sat in silence for awhile before answering.
"Sure" and with that Harry got up and followed Draco down the train.
They found an empty compartment and slid in it together, with Draco shutting the door. Harry looked at him confusedly before Draco began to speak.
"Harry, I know this may come of a shock to you, but I must ask you not to interrupt me before I am finished."
Harry nodded in agreement.
Draco heaved a heavy sigh before beginning.
"Five years ago, when we first met, I felt attraction for you like I had never felt for anyone. I ignored it, but when I continuously encountered you, that attraction grew stronger. It scared me at first, but now I realize that this is the way it has to be. I tried covering it up with hatred and sarcasm towards you and your friends in hopes of you never finding out. But I can't hold it in any longer. I almost lose control when I'm around you. Harry, I love you."
And with that, Draco leaned over and kissed Harry for all that he was worth.
