Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own the characters in Harry Potter, for if I did lots of slash fanatics would be happy.

Story Talk: Chapter five is here. Obviously. I skipped to the Hogsmeade weekend because I really couldn't think of anything else. This chapter is pretty short, but it's important. So read it, love it, review it.

Authoress Ramble: RAMBLE TIME! I love this part. When I was writing my last ramble I did the evil muaha laugh and I thought ' nobody ever laughs like that'. Of course they do in the little kid movies, but, unless I'm just muaha deprived, I have never heard any one laugh like that. Do you ever muaha naturally and who came up with it anyway. I wonder if it was Disney? Yes, he was prolly just sitting there drawing a little Mickey Mouse and thought 'I think Mickeys' enemies should mua ha.' I think too much it you haven't notice. So now I'll stop and keep my thoughts to me. Unless they amuse you as much as they do me.

STORY TIME!

WEE!

Chapter 5

Change of Heart

"Are you sure you don't want us to knock him out or something? He can't go if he's unconscious."

"No!" Draco protested quickly, earning him weird looks from his friends. "If that happens I'll have to stay here and take care of him. I'd rather walk around with the ruddy idiot all day then take care of him."

"Oh" Goyle answered.

"And Mcgonagall said no friends?" Pansy asked. "Does that include girlfriends?"

"I'm pretty sure that it includes everyone that isn't Potter and I." He answered as though he were speaking to a toddler.

"What's with you Drac? You've been acting weird the last couple of days." Blaise said. He soon came to regret it.

The blonde abruptly stopped and quickly rounded on him grabbing the collar of his robe. "If you call me Drac again, I swear I will make it so you can never talk. And on top of that, I will make it so that you can never have a sex life. Do you understand?" All the boy could do was nod. Once he had Malfoy dropped him, sending him crashing to the ground.

"You know he's right." Pansy said gently. "You've been a bit tense."

"Of course I have been, you git. I've just spent the last three nights with the person I hate most." 'And I'd rather spend time with him rather than you.' He added to himself. " why wouldn't I be tense. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go spend more time with Potter." At that he stormed of leaving his friends with unanswered questions.

When he saw Harry, he was talking to Ron and Hermione. The two, both looked extremely sympathetic. "Lets go, Potter I have a lot to do today."

"Bye you guys, don't worry I'll be fine." Harry said to Ron and Hermione, then he ran to catch up to Draco. "You do know that we have all day, right? Slowing down wouldn't kill anyone."

"What can't keep up."

"Of course I can, but I usually take the weekends to relax. Jogging to Hogmeade isn't my idea of relaxation."

"Fine, if your going to be a ruddy baby. Is this pace slow enough for you?" He said with a mocking tone.

"Yes, it's fine. Thank you."

Ever since the second detention the two had been civil to each other. Both know could see how the other felt. Harry wanted to help Draco, but he knew he'd have to wait for the blonde to ask him for it. Draco wanted Harrys' help, but was too proud to admit to anyone other than himself.

"So, where are we going first?" Harry asked once they had reached the town.

"I don't really have anywhere to go. So I guess it's wherever you want."

"I only came because it was required. I have to save the rest of my money for Christmas."

"I guess we could go up to the shrieking shack. Unless you're afraid."

"You had to go and ruin what had been a decent conversation, didn't you?"

"Maybe I don't want a decent conversation with you."

"You forget, I know better than you, what you really want."

"Okay Potter, if you're so smart, tell me what I want."

"I guess you've forgotten again, I can't."

"Did I tell you about my father?" Draco asked his voice suddenly soft.

"What about him?"

"What he does to me."

"Yes."

"Just the beatings, right?"

"Yes." Harry answer quizzically, wanting to ask, 'is there more?'.

"Did he have to do with my worst memory?"

"Yes."

"Don't tell anyone okay."

"I wouldn't, even if I could."

They sat in silence after that. Harry was shocked he got to see this side of his enemy. The side that wasn't cruel and cold. He saw the blonde with his shields down and it was beautiful. It was then that, Harry realized he and Malfoy could be friends, and more then that he realized he could love the blonde. Now, more than anything, that was what he wanted. He wanted to love Draco Malfoy.

They are meant to be together. I don't see why J.K. doesn't see it. Lol . Review if you love it, stop reading if you don't. Chapter six isn't completed yet, it should be long, at least that is my intention. Until then I love you all. Bye bye
