Chapter 4
Voices of gossip filled the Great Hall. The gossip was about the several Slytherins, including Draco Malfoy, missing. All of a sudden, the huge golden doors of the Great Hall opened and all the voices died down, and everyone stared at Draco with wide eyes and open mouths.
"What the hell are you looking at!" his shout echoed across the Great Hall. Nobody replied anything, and the intense silence lingered. A pair of green eyes was set on Draco Malfoy the whole time. Finally, Hermione saw a flincher of a smile on Harry's face.
"Draco looks like he's...he's himself, I mean not his father!" as Hermione whispered to Harry.
"I hate to admit this, but that ferret is better than the disgusting image of his father. Don't you agree, mate?" No answer came from Harry, "Harry?" Ron snapped his fingers beside Harry's ear.
"What-What? Oh, yeah, I agree." His emerald eyes set on Draco again. Harry put an 'evil smirk' on his face. For no reason, Draco Malfoy felt this rage feeling in him and he gave Harry this 'Hey-don't-you-dare-to-give-me-that- smirk' look. His finger pointed at Harry across the room and mouthed, "I am going to get you, Potter" Harry chuckled at him and uttered back, "What? I didn't do anything!"
After they ate breakfast, the trio went on their way to Potions class. "Why does Snape have to be the Potion teacher!" mumbled Ron.
"Ronny, quit complaining like a baby!" frowned Hermione. Suddenly Ron and Hermione noticed that Harry was not with them, he was behind him, walking slow with a grin stamped upon his face.
"Why are you being like this?!" Hermione said as she walked over to Harry. "Mione, I felt something-"as they walked into the classroom. Snape interrupted Harry, "SIT DOWN BEFORE I REMOVE POINTS, POTTER!" Harry glared at his Potions master, how he wished he could poison him. The trio took their seats, and Harry felt someone was watching him; he looked across the room and saw Draco's silver eyes staring a hole into him.
"Today you will do a potion with a partner of my choosing. I ten to notice too much gossiping when students paired with 'friends'", Snape growled as he eyed Ron and Harry, "Granger and Parkinson, Weasley and Goyle, Crabbe and Longbottom.........", Harry knew who would be his partner, "and of course, Malfoy and famous Mr. Potter". Harry rolled his eyes and groaned,
"Now, go to your partners! And I expect perfect behavior while I get some ingredients in my office, especially you, Mr. Potter!" His fathomless dark coal eyes glared at Harry.
Everyone went to their partners and started working on their potions. There was a long silent moment between Draco and Harry. Finally, Harry was the one who broke the silence, "Can you pass the frog tongues?" asked Harry. "No, you can go up and get the dragon eyes," replied Draco. To his surprise, Harry took his order without a fray and went to get them. "Here they are!" Harry said as he slammed the dragon eyes upon the table.
"You idiot, its 2 dragon eyes, not 3!"
Harry stared at Draco's smarmy face, "You slimy git, read the chalkboard!" Draco gazed at the board and truth be told the edge of Snape's cloak had somewhat erased the number slightly.
"You never pay attention, Potter, too much publicity and attention inflates your thick skull!
"At least I'm not an evil bastard with a Deatheater for a father!"
"Well, at least I don't have an ugly gash upon my head. Oh, no wonder Cho didn't want you..."
"What's that supposed to mean!" Harry snapped, the bickering pair was now shouting within the classroom. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
"Minerva, your beauty potion is ready. Listen carefully, only drink this potion at night between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. Just be care-"the yelling and clashing in the classroom reached Snape's ears. Then, he growled and mumbled, "Potter!" He stormed out of his office and into the dungeon, and a sight met his eyes. Malfoy was advancing upon Harry with his wand pointed at him, and Harry the same.
"Severus?" Snape whipped around. Professor McGonagall was standing behind him and suddenly she shouted, "POTTER, MALFOY! What do you think you are doing!!?" The pair lowered their wands, each glaring menacingly at one another. "Professor Snape, won't you do something!?"
Snape glanced darkly at Harry, "Professor McGonagall, you can clearly see that Potter alone deserves deten-" "GIVE IT TO BOTH POTTER AND MALFOY!!" "BUT-" "NO BUTS! Have them be here at 9 p.m. until this dungeon is clean, I will not tolerate this behavior and neither shall you!" Professor McGonagall glanced angrily at Snape. "Well boys, you heard her. Here at 9! TONIGHT! Now, class dismissed!" hollered Snape.
As they walked out of the messy dungeon that Draco and Harry had messed up from their fight, Harry felt so angry about what Malfoy had said about Cho not wanting him. There was a stinging feeling within his heart when he thought that Draco wouldn't want him either. 'WHAT?! DID I JUST THINK THAT MALFOY WOULDN"T WANT ME?!' as Harry thought to himself. However, he just started to realize that he found what he was looking for. Perhaps, he could try and become friends with Malfoy for once and keep his temper under control, he'd try it, and Harry promised himself.
After the trio finished all their classes today, they were on the way to Great Hall. Harry couldn't handle his temper when his archrival was throwing him catcalls.
"Hey, scar head!" Harry turned around and glared angrily at Draco. He gave out a huff and his hands lunged for Draco's throat. He started to run after Malfoy.
"HOLY S-", Draco mumbled to himself, and ran away down the hall. As Harry turned a corner, Draco came from behind the wall and punched him straight in the jaw, "Ah-ugh!" Harry grunted, stars showing in front of his eyes. "I'll teach you a lesson! You don't mess with Draco Malfoy!" Harry fell backwards bringing Draco down with him, "Stop! Draco! Stop! You can change!!!" Harry howled at Draco. The pair was struggling upon the floor and suddenly Draco stared bewildered at Harry, "What did you say, Potter?" Harry was grasping Draco around his trunk, gasping for air, "Y-you can CHANGE.......Yo-you don't have to b-bbe like your father!" Draco was lying on top of Harry gazing into his startling green eyes, and Harry into Draco's. Draco couldn't believe his ears.
"You want me to c-change? I-I-I-I can't....I am sorry...." Tears of anger spouted in Harry's eyes,
"Why not! I mean, come on!" Harry yelled into Draco's face. The breath from Harry landed on Draco's lips that caused Draco to shiver in his spine. He has never felt this way before. Draco hesitated quickly and stepped backwards, "L-look I've got to go..." Draco mumbled and left Harry with a confused audience.
