Dancing with the Devil
Harry stepped down to the platform carefully trying not to jerk his injuries. Looking around, Harry caught sight of his thought to be most hated teacher and arch rival standing a little ways down the platform looking at him.
He particularly didn't hate the two Slytherins, they were just always acting like they hated him. So, he kept away from them not needing to see more people that hated his guts, and acting as if he didn't care much for them, and that is why most assumed they hated each other with a passion.
Snape and Malfoy continued to look at him as if he was their prey. Harry groaned out loud and prayed that they were leaving with the train and would just ignore him.
Apparently God was on vacation, because the two Slytherins started to walk towards him. Snape with his usual deadly grace and swirl of robes, and Malfoy with a newly acquired smooth flow along with his ordinary trained grace.
Harry noted absently that Malfoy had gotten taller than him. Harry was small for his age, he could practically be mistaken for a third year, thin but with a slender 5'5 frame, he was pale but had healthy glowing skin, rich black hair, and sparkling green eyes.
Or that was how he should look, how the concealment charms showed him.
"Potter..how…nice..of you do join us." Snape drawled with a sneer.
"Hello Professor." Harry answered ignoring Malfoy on purpose.
Draco fought the anger that came over him as Potter passed him over without a glance. That was one thing that Harry Potter had always done.
Draco had tried so hard to get the Gryffindor to like him at least civilly, hoping that Harry would become his friend. Hah wishful thinking. Potter was just like all the other Gryffindors, judging the Slytherins before he even got to know them.
Even though his father had forbid him to become friends with the-boy-who-lived, he had even gotten a beating when his father had found out when Crabbe had opened his big stupid mouth when over visiting along with Goyle.
Watching Potter walk toward the carriage, Draco decided to get his attention.
"Hmmm..Yes, well, let's get you to the castle so we can part ways and hopefully avoid each other till school term." Snape sneered silently, seething at Harry's disrespect of his lover.
Harry was unaware of course and just started toward the carriage that was to bring them the rest of the way to Hogwarts.
Draco, tired of being ignored and flushed with anger, started after him a scowl gracing his lips.
"What Potter, have I finally got you scared of me as you should be." Draco sneered.
"No, I just don't think your worth the trouble to get all worked up over." Harry answered over his shoulder, gritting his teeth against the pain every step caused.
"Why you…" Draco snarled grabbing his shoulder and yanking him around.
Well Cliffhanger because I need to think about what to do next. I've left open the fact that they could find out about Harry's injuries in the next chapter because of Draco's rough yank around. Or I could stall for a little while…… what do you think?
