Just Because It's Wednesday

A/N: Bwahaha. New story. Been meaning to write this for a while, but it's only write now that I am unlazy enough to do it. Oh, wow, MS Word just underlined 'unlazy'… guess it isn't a real word. Hehe. :)

Harry Potter walked along the corridors of Hogwarts, the only thought on his head was about his mission: Occlumency. He dreaded going to Snape for his lessons, but, as Hermione had said, it was for his own good. After what happened to Sirius, he couldn't bear the thought of what would happen if he was to let himself be fooled by Voldemort again.

Walking with his robes billowing behind him, Harry was too immersed in his thoughts to notice a pair of eyes following him.

Draco hid in his hiding place, making sure that no one, especially Potter, would see him. He was, of course, 'looking after' Harry. Well, at least that's what he wanted to think of it. 'Stalking' would probably be too… blunt. And true.

Shaking his head, Draco pressed himself against a wall that was perpendicular to where Harry was walking. He needn't have bothered, as Harry was too lost in himself to notice anything.

Draco's breath hitched as Harry walked further past him.

Damn, he's hot... Draco thought subconsciously. Realizing what he was thinking, he shook his head once more. He was simply checking after the boy, as Snape had ordered him to, after he had denounced his father, in favor of the light side.

Of course, very few people knew about this, as they (the staff of Hogwarts) knew that very few people would actually believe Draco's story. So they had simply seized the opportunity of Draco's position, and had him check after Harry, following him, and not getting anyone suspicious, as compared to having a teacher follow Harry.

But as it was night already, Draco had to be very discreet. It would not do for Harry to see him, fight him, and be late for Occlumency. No… Snape would get mad.

Draco quickly tailed after Harry, smiling at himself for having the best job in the world.

Seeing Harry enter Snape's office, Draco went back to the Dormitories, letting his mind wander.

He had had a crush on Harry since 4th year. He hadn't really noticed it, and it didn't all come crashing down on him. He didn't wake up one day and think, "I'm in love with Harry Potter." No, it was the small things. The way he seemed to wake up, and wonder whether Harry had also woken up, or taken a bath, and wondered whether Harry used the same soap as him.

Of course he also knew he was positively obsessed.

As Draco turned a corner, he found himself thinking if Harry liked him too. It would be absurd, of course, since he had taunted Harry and his friends since first year. But that, of course, was mainly because his dad needed to uphold his reputation. It would not do good for his reputation to be tarnished, because his only child was actually nice to Harry Potter. In other words, of course, it would take a miracle for Harry to forgive him. But that didn't stop him from hoping.

Maybe he could woo Harry… court him, maybe?

No! He shook his head for the third time that evening. That's totally stupid! You don't even know if he's gay! Draco thought to himself.

But he could ask, of course. That would be a delightful conversation, Hey, Potter, are you gay? Draco smirked, thinking about it. He found himself amused, trying to imagine Harry's reaction. Would he raise an eyebrow? Laugh out loud? Widen his eyes and form an 'o' with his soft pink lips? Maybe simply gape?

But then maybe he didn't have to know… or maybe he did, just not in the flesh. He could…

Draco had not even noticed that he was back in the Slytherin Dorms until his was in the staircase. Had he said the password? Shrugging, he continued his way up the stairs.

And as his hand touched the door knob, as though an electric jolt coursed through his fingers to his brain…

Draco had the perfect plan.

He smirked, an evil kind of shine on his eyes. Because once a Malfoy got an idea, or a plan, he would do everything to achieve it.

What do you think? Does it have potential? Review :)
