A/N Well hello to all of you out there reading this story! I would like to forewarn you guys, this chapter sucks! This is one of those I need to get from here to there chapters, I know it is really short and I sorry for that I am off to type chapter 4 after I post this, and it will be longer! Please don't click away! The story gets better I promise! JUST DON'T LEAVE ME!!!! Now, onward to the fic!

Disclaimer I hear if you wish upon an exploding giant firework your wish comes true! Firework of red and blue sparks I wish I owned Harry Potter and all of its characters! Oh wait, that's stars. Whoopsie!

"Mr. Potter! Do you think it is funny to sleep in my class? MR. POTTER!" Harry Potter's eyes snapped open, and realizing he had been sleeping during class and currently had an extremely pissed off teacher glaring at him, shot straight up into his seat. Unfortunately his head came crashing into said pissed off teacher's chin, causing him to fall backwards and hit his head on the seats in front of Harry. This caused a very large red bump to appear on the now unbelievably pissed off teacher. It was also very unfortunate for Harry Potter that this teacher happened to be Professor Snape.

As Snape stood up and made his way towards Harry, Harry stared at him with the look of utmost fear on his face. When the greasy haired teacher was standing directly in front of Harry, staring down at him with a murderous flame burning in his eyes. The kind of look that made Harry think he was about to pull out his wand and curse him back into the dawn of time. He spoke in a voice shaking with rage, "A week's worth of detention for you Mr. Potter, I expect you here tonight at eight o'clock sharp!" barked Snape.

"Yes sir!" said a trembling Harry.

At that moment the bell rang and Harry grabbed his things and made a mad dash for the door.

&%&

Harry sat alone at the far end of the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. He always ate alone nowadays, Hermoine was always up in the library studying for her NEWT's at every meal, and Ron still hadn't spoken a single word to Harry since he dumped him three months ago.

Harry sat eating his chicken potpie and staring out into space, as he thought about all that had happened in the past month. He had still been secretly reading Malfoy's diary and had found out quite a lot about him that he doubted even Malfoy's closest friends knew. He found out that Malfoy had been 'cutting' himself before he had even gotten to Hogwarts, he found out that Malfoy's father had beaten both him and his wife on numerous occasions, Malfoy wasn't in the least bit sad when his father was carted away to Azkaban because Voldemort had finally fallen at last. Then last night Harry found out that Draco Malfoy, his archenemy from day one at Hogwarts, the boy who had tormented him so much over the last six years, had been in love with him since his third year.

Harry smiled as he thought about it. True he also loved the blond, arrogant, bastard but only his closest friends knew that.

He just sighed as he thought about his argument with former boyfriend Ronald Weasley, he really didn't want to tick Ron off when he told him he had a crush on Malfoy, and he was sad when Ron didn't talk to him the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that, and so on. He had really liked Ron but the relationship was 'I just need someone right now' more than it was actual love. He had killed Voldemort at the end of his sixth year and he just felt like he needed someone to listen to his problems and comfort him. He wasn't looking for a long time relationship. Unfortunately Ron hadn't seen it that way and was extremely hurt when Harry dumped him.

Harry suddenly realized that it was 7:55 and he had five minutes to get down to Snape's classroom for his detention. Making a mental note to talk to Ron later about why he had left him he jammed the last of his pie into his mouth, grabbed his book, and began sprinting out of the Great Hall as though a rabid Hippogriff was chasing him.

&%&

Snape heard a loud thud at his door and an even louder "Ow!" and puzzled went to open it to see what had caused the noise. When he swung open the door he heard an "oof!" coming from behind the door. Seconds later Harry Potter appeared from behind the door holding his head as though it was in pain.

&Seconds before&

Harry ran straight for Snape's door panting "Gotta make it in time!" to himself. He looked down at his watch 7:59, "One minute gotta make it!" Unfortunately while looking down at his watch he wasn't watching where he was going and had a head on collision with the door.

His books flew out of his hands as he fell backwards onto the cold stone floor of the dungeon hallway with a loud "Ow!" Looking at his watch it read 8:00 "Crap gotta get inside the door!" He gathered his books and began walking towards the door when suddenly it swung open and he was caught behind it and pushed backwards onto the stonewall.

&Back to present time&

"Well, well Mr. Potter I assume to ran straight into my door," said a smirking Snape.

"Yes sir" replied a very painful feeling Harry.

"Well we can only hope it doesn't leave you with a scar. Now get in!" said Snape.

Harry Potter rushed inside the classroom followed by Snape who shut the door with a loud 'BANG!'

"Sit!" snapped Snape from behind him. "Tonight you will clean out the backroom where all of the extra ingredients are stored and then you will clean all of the tables. I have business elsewhere in the castle so against my better judgment Potter you will be here by yourself. You are not permitted to leave this room until you have finished cleaning, I shall be placing a charm on the door so it will not let you out until you have completed your assigned task," and with that Snape left the room with a snap of his billowing black robes.

Harry gave a small smile; Snape wasn't going to be there to torment him throughout his detention! If that wasn't a plus to the detention he didn't know what was! Besides he had plenty of experience cleaning things, he had to do all the household chores in the Dursely's house since he was five! He looked around and saw a rag and bottle of cleaning fluid on Snape's desk, he grabbed it and headed towards the back room deciding he was going to make it sparkle.

&%&

Harry finally completed the night's detention around midnight, he had a hard time cleaning one of the tables seeing as how essence of stink sap had merged itself with the table and had taken a good hour and a half worth of scurubbing to get it off. He turned the corridor that lead him out of the dungeons and into the main hallway. Just as he was about to begin his ascent up the stairs and towards the Gryffindor Common Room he was pulled backwards by someone and, for the second time that night, fell backwards onto the floor.

He let out a groan and looked up to see who had pulled him and saw Dobby the house elf staring at him looking very upset. "Dobby why did you just do that and what is the matter!"

"Dobby is sorry but Dobby has something very urgent to tell Harry Potter! Dobby just saw Draco Malfoy rush out of his common room with a knife and muttering something about how it would all be over soon! Dobby felt Harry Potter should know and Dobby is scared for Draco Malfoy!"

All of the color drained out of Harry's face at this statement, and jumped up and knocked the house elf onto the floor. He began running faster than he had earlier that night, faster than he ever had before. He ran down into the dungeons and began heading towards what he vaguely remembered being the way to the Slytherin Common Room, figuring he could attempt to track Malfoy down from there. He turned down into a corridor that looked somewhat familiar but he didn't remember exactly, he turned down another corridor to face the same problem. Figuring that he wouldn't have enough time to find the Slytherin Common Room, he just ran down the hall and began opening all of the doors along his way. He prayed to God that he would make it before the man he loved did something to drastic.
