Chapter 2
"Get on the Train…Harry?"
Harry had stayed up all night cutting his hear and making it look a certain way. Also he used his schools books to get a basis spell to concoct a spell of his own to fix his eyesight. He tested it and it worked, which he was so excited to not have to use the reparo spell to fix his glasses all the time.
Now it was about seven o'clock. He was waiting until another minute so that he could wake up the Dursleys because he knew that they wouldn't wake up if he didn't get them up just to take him to 'that bloody freak school'.
It was time now, he used a cowbell to wake them up. "WHAT IS THAT BLOODY NOISE!" Harry smiled to himself. He wasn't afraid anymore. "HARRY POTTER!" Harry burst out the door, not even bothering to respond, bags in hand he went to the car. "You're lucky I was already up or you and that bloody bird of yours would be out on the streets in the cold. "Yes, Uncle Vernon." Harry responded, smiling on the inside for he knew that the only reason Vernon was ready to go was because he thought if Harry didn't arrive on time then the order would find him and murder him.
Finally they arrived at the train station at about a quarter to eleven. He put his trunk and Hedwig's cage on a trolley and carted it up to the station doors. "You don't have to go any further Uncle Vernon, so go home." Vernon grew red and a deep shade of purple as he often did, he looked as though he was about to respond when he saw Arthur approaching, and he left.
"Harry, old boy, nice to see you've made it here on time!" Chimed a happy Arthur. "I almost didn't recognize you what with your new hair cut and no glasses, but the scar was a dead giveaway…or maybe it was that big oaf that was standing near you, you decide.
At this Harry laughed and felt happy to be near someone he cared for, and also cared for him. Harry and Arthur started towards the platform, and Ron and Hermione came walking up to them unsure of who Harry was, for he covered up his scar this time.
"Dad, who…" They both examined his face a little more, and his clear green eyes. "HARRY!" they both exclaimed at the same time. "What happened to you, I mean you look great!" Hermione said, still in shock of his new look. "Yeah you look good mate." Ron replied as well. Harry blushed, but just a little because he remembered that the new harry didn't blush, he was blushed at.
"Come one you two, we're going to be late for the train." Said harry peering at the clock that hung above platform 9 ¾. Boarding the train everyone and I mean everyone was staring. They all were wondering who this new hot guy was. He would throw them glances and they would gasp, suddenly realizing who it was and telling their giggling friends. The trio found a seat near the middle section of the train. Harry 'just happened to notice' that it was right next to Draco's train car.
After settling in for the ride, buying snacks and having their usual visitors come buy (also staring at Harry's new look) they all sat in silence. Eating here, reading there, talking a bit even, Harry started to wonder about when Draco was going to get word about how Harry looked. As if on cue Draco burst open the cabin doors and peered in with a smirk/sneer on his face. Then he spotted Harry. At once Draco's knees locked and he fell on his face. Hermione and Ron sniggered and Harry shot them a look. They stopped immediately and just in time to see Harry actually help Draco up. He walked out even without a thank you.
"Harry why the bloody hell did you help that spoiled little brat up from the floor?" Ron asked in bewilderment along with Hermione's own questioning looks. Harry was trying to think of an explanation.
You don't have to explain yourself to them. You want Draco and he clearly wants you. You yourself saw that look on his face and how hard he went down after seeing you! No Excuses, you were just going after what you wanted.
"I felt like it that's why." Harry retorted and with a smug look turned and watched out the window. That was about the time where Hermione and Ron had to complete their prefect duties so he was left in total silence with himself. What had he just done? He just snapped at his friends, because of a little voice? Was he letting the voice to get too far? After careful thinking he decided that no, the advice was for the best, and if that meant a little tough love then so be it.
He felt someone's eyes on him just then and he looked out the window of the cabin. He caught a glimpse of Draco glimpsing in at him. Harry looked back out at the landscape again and smiled. He then started laughing: Draco was smitten with him! Harry laughed to himself the whole way back and thought of devious ways of getting Draco to go out with him.
That night was a peaceful sleep for Harry and his friends, especially with the grand feast that filled his stomach and the thought of the events of the day that passed. Tomorrow was the first day of term and he didn't want to be late
