A/N: Sorry about not getting this chapter up any earlier guys, also I tried a little harder to make these chapters a bit longer so hope you enjoy them!!!
Chapter 4
"Terms of Endearment"
The next day was beginning of terms so they didn't think anyone would notice their 'early arrival'. Luckily they were right about that. No one commented on it or anything so they just let it go. It was just like another day for Harry. He had to wake up Ron, and Hermione was waiting in the commons for them. It seemed all the weirdness was out of his way. Here is where he belonged and he knew it.
At breakfast was the usual chatter of the three friends. Today Draco came over and was just about to say something to them when a gray cat jumped on the table, she leapt and transfigured into Professor Mcgonnagal. "Mr. Malfoy, may I remind you that I said no inter-table talking during breakfast period?" snapped the prim looking, and curt women of her age. "Sorry professor, I'm going to sit down now." Malfoy replied in a cower. Mcgonnagal sent him away and then quickly came back. "Students you should all start to head to my classroom, you wouldn't want to be late." And with that she was back to her cat form, slinking away to her room in the shadows as quiet as ever.
"She's right, we had better go!" Hermione added as an afterthought. Together the three made their way to the Transfiguration classroom. "Today we will be learning to turn an opponents weapon into an inanimate object that is harmless!" exclaimed Mcgonnagal in her loud voice. "Now, each of you have an atheme (knife) in front of a pair of each students that I have grouped together. This is to learn how to use my spell in an effective way. I need a pair to demonstrate…Yes, Granger, Potter, to the front, Quickly now!" She added sharply. "Ok, now Hermione has the atheme Harry, so just point your wand at it and say 'animato'" "Animato!" Harry said clear as day and just then the atheme in Herm's hand turned to a toy wand that went limp after a second or two.
The class was amazed at the sight of what they had seen. "Now," Professor Mcgonnagal said, "This will not always be the result, for it might turn to candy or something completely silly." "Harry, Hermione, well done, twenty points to Gryffindor, now take your seats. The rest of you please get in your pairs and practice the spell."
Next on the trio's schedules were double potions with the Slytherin house, and lunch in between the double periods.
Cut to Lunch
Harry was looking at Draco today with a different particular feeling. This time it wasn't the pure hatred he had known for years while looking at the boy, no instead it was a feeling more gentle. Oh god, it feels like…love! Harry thought to himself, unaware of why he was having these feelings towards Draco…a Slytherin…a guy for that matter! Ok, Harry always felt a little different, but he thought that was just the fact that he was a wizard. He didn't think, didn't know that it might be because he was gay! Harry stopped looking at Draco. This was just plain weird.
Second Potions Period
(Information…Note: Before lunch the class was instructed to make the enhancement potion, which enhances any emotion, felt by the drinker about someone else. The effects only take place when after the person has drank the potion he looks at the particular someone and then he feels the true feelings. Harry and Draco had been paired together but they had not drank the potion yet.)
"Potter, now that we're done with the potion let me have a sip, so my true hatred for you can be shown!" sneered Draco. "After me Malfoy!" retorted Harry. They both grabbed a flask of the potion and drank it.
Potion Works
The moment Harry & Draco laid eyes upon eachother they knew what the feeling they were experiencing was. It was…love. They both looked away from eachother the rest of class, trying to avoid the feeling again.
Potion wears off after Five Minutes
Harry couldn't believe it. He didn't expect to feel love for Draco…again!!! It was bad enough the first time without the enhancement potion doing its 'oh-so-wonderful' job! How was he supposed to tell Hermione & Ron? Was he supposed to say "Hey guys, guess what, I'm gay and in love with our arch-nemesis Draco Malfoy whom I want to snog till the end of time?!?!? Absolutely not!
Draco's Thoughts
OH MY GOODNESS! OH MY GOODNESS! OH MY GOODNESS! Me, a Malfoy of all people, gay? Me in love with Harry Potter? No this is absurd, absolutely insane. My notes say that the emotions felt are the ones you really feel inside even if you're not aware of them. I take notes directly on every word, so does this mean…No, it can't be, this can't be right…I can't be…gay!
Hallway
"Harry wait up, what's the matter with you, we've been chasing you since four corridors!" Hermione shouted. "Uh, nothing…not a thing at all. Come on we have divination next, and a new teacher this year too!" replied Harry hoping to change the subject. "Wonder who it is" Hermione replied aloud, the subject taking her mind off of Harry's odd behavior.
