I own it not. It's fun though :D

On with the show…

That Room knows too much

I raced back to the Tower, flung on fresh jeans and a deep red t-shirt, grabbed a hoody and dumped most of the books out of my bag, pushed the Potions books, the assignment and a quill into the bag, ran to the bathroom and ran wet hands through my hair, spiking it slightly – trying to tame my hair never had the right effect.

I sprinted back to the dorm, grabbed my bag and leapt down the stairs, out of the common room and down to the kitchen level.

"Dobby!" I shouted into the kitchen, scattering house-elves in my haste.

"Sir wants something?" Said Dobby from just behind me.

"Yeah, could I have some drinks please, pumpkin juice and whatever Draco Malfoy's favourite drink is please?" I managed to say.

Dobby looked confused "Why would Sir want something which Draco Malfoy would like?"

"I don't have time to explain right now, Dobby, could you get the drinks please?" I almost fluttered my eyelashes at him but managed to stop myself in time.

Dobby stomped off and brought back several large bottles of pumpkin juice. "For you and Draco Malfoy. His favourite drink is pumpkin juice too."

I smiled "Thanks Dobby, that's great."

I legged it out of the kitchen and then ran back in. "Can I have some crisps as well please?" A large bowl was placed in my hand, with a lid covering it. Anyone would think the house-elves knew I was clumsy or something…

I grinned and ran as fast as I could up to the second floor. It took me a few minutes to find the Room of Requirement and I was late by the time I managed to locate it. I walked into it practically with my eyes shut, dropping my bag gently to the floor and rooting in it for the bottles of juice.

I knew Draco was already there – I could hear him moving around nearby. "Sorry I'm late, Draco…I had to go via the kitchens and get something to drink – Dobby was a bit confused about why I needed to know what drink you liked." I still had my head down in my bag, but after picking up a couple of bottles and my parchment, I stood and looked around properly for the first time.

"Woah, I know this place responds to whatever you're thinking when you require the room but…" I stopped and looked at what the room had provided.

A large table, complete with a cauldron and various jars of ingredients was at one end of the room, the other end being taken up with a sumptuous two-seater sofa made of black and mahogany leather, a footstool and two side tables. There also appeared to be candles everywhere and a roaring fire near the sofa. I could feel myself relaxing just watching it.

Of course, the furniture became background when I saw Draco, who was leaning against the wall by the fireplace, shadows accentuating his features, arms crossed. Slowly he put his hands down to either side of his hips and pushed himself gently off the wall and started to walk towards me. All I could do was stand there, bottles forgotten in my arms, watching the light of the fire playing across blonde hair, highlighting the curve of shoulders left bare under a sleeveless t-shirt. My brain mentioned that the shirt was deep green, and fitted. The rest of me wondered when Draco had turned into a god.

"Draco…" I whispered, my eyes wide and my heart hammering painfully in my chest.

He stopped just in front of me and took the bottles from my arms, then placed one hand on my back and began to lead me towards the sofa. I shook my head slightly and tried to focus on the task in hand, namely my Potions coursework.

"Sit." Draco ordered, laughing softly as my legs immediately obeyed, spilling me onto the sofa. "I'll get the chocolate. And light a lantern – I hadn't realised how dark it was in here until you came in. I think the Room of Requirement got the wrong idea when I told it that I wanted somewhere quiet and peaceful where we could talk…maybe I should have specified about Potions?" He smiled at me, teeth a flash of white in the darkness.

I smiled back, still somewhat dazed. "Maybe, but this is definitely relaxing. Good for talking, but not for Potions…"

Draco looked over his shoulder at me. "So, do you want chocolate or not?"

I nodded stupidly and offered an alternative "I brought crisps too, if you want?"

"Sure. I'll grab them, we can choose as we go along. I am thirsty though…thanks for getting pumpkin juice, I love that stuff." He smiled at me as he arranged the snacks on the table by the sofa. I noticed that he'd put it on his side, rather than sharing it between the two tables. Oh well, I could reach.

Draco sat down gracefully as I removed my trainers and hurriedly hid my rather tatty socks under my nicely baggy jeans.

"So." I said. "Where do we start?"

"We could just talk for a while, if you like? Or we can get down to business" Draco raised one eyebrow and smirked gently.

I coughed, trying not to choke on the juice I was drinking. "Down to business?" I spluttered.

"Yes." Said Draco, looking confused "Potions? The reason you agreed to meet me after school today?"

Relief spread through me. "Ah." I muttered stupidly

"Why, what did you think I meant?" Draco sat twiddling a piece of his hair between thumb and forefinger.

"I err, umm. I don't know, my brain just…no clue." I stuttered, falling silent at the amused look on his face.

We stared at each other for a little while, both of us fidgeting as we tried to think of something to say.

We both opened our mouths and began to speak.

"No, you first." I conceded the right to speak.

"Ok, I was just going to ask if it was true that you fancied Ginny" Draco looked concerned after a moment. "Harry, breathe?"

I took a breath and said "My, the rumour mill does run quickly in this place…" At Draco's look I replied properly. "Yeah, I used to, I still think she's pretty and nice but…I don't really want to go out with her. I don't seem to have much luck with girls, really…" I looked up at him sheepishly. "They just…they're friends, they don't really make me want to take them out and do…stuff with them."

All I got in exchange for my admission was a thoughtful nod. Then he spoke. "I don't have much luck with girls either. Don't really see the point. Like you say, they're friends, I don't feel like I want to do anything with them. Certainly nothing x-rated, anyway."

I laughed happily "Yeah, I know what you mean. It doesn't make me go eww, but I can think of things I'd rather be doing and they don't involve people of the opposite sex." My brain caught up with my mouth and my ears tried desperately to disbelieve what I'd just said. "Oh shit. Did I just come out of the closet?"

I looked at Draco, stunned. He was looking much the same way, mouth open, eyes wide. Slowly he closed his mouth and smiled at me. I smiled back.

Taking a deep breath, Draco exclaimed "I don't like girls, I get turned on by blokes. There, does that help? I came out too…"

I began to laugh, great belly-laughs which set Draco off too, and soon we were curled in little heaps on the sofa, sides sore from laughing, holding on to each other for support, tears streaming down our cheeks as two long-time enemies admitted they were gay to each other, before their own friends know.

The laughter slowly stopped, and I raised my head to look at the smirking blonde. The look in his eyes is so soft…happy and peaceful. I don't think I've ever seen him like this before. I reached out and brushed a section of his fringe back behind his ear, feeling my stomach tingle as he turned his head into my hand.

"Draco…" I whispered.

"Yes, Harry?" His deep voice rumbled through me, making me shiver slightly.

"Are you going to help me with my homework or not?"

Picture me sniggering…I enjoyed writing that, hope you enjoyed reading it…

I shall try to provide more fluff and stuff in the next chapter, but don't count on it.

Hell, just be happy you got about 4 thousand words from me in one night!

You lot are great, as is my muse.

See you all soon I hope…
