Draco wiped the sleep from his eyes, and sat up in his bed. After a few minutes he stood up, and walked to his window. The grounds were covered in snow.
"Heh...another day at good ole Hogwarts..." Draco pulled his clothes on, and headed to the Great Hall to eat. Draco sat at his usual place at the end of the Slytherin table. His fellow house mates hadn't so much as talked to him since he was himself again. Today was the one year anniversary of his release.
A little over one year ago
Snape ran into Dumbledore's office with tears streaming down his face.
"Sir...I am so sorry...Please!" Dumbledore eyed Snape for what seems an eternity before pointing to the door. Snape took this as his que to return to his dungeon. what he had done was very wrong. He betrayed the trust of everyone that excepted him, and mostly Dumbledore's. A few days back Snape had come to a point in his life that he to choose which side he was on, he could no longer play both sides. So he lifted the Imperius curse he had placed on his best student, Draco Malfoy.
Today
Harry sat at the Gryffindor table with Ron and Hermione. His best friends were bickering at each other just like any other day. Harry was following his morning 'ritual' of watching Draco walk from the huge oak doors to his lonely seat at the end of the Slytherin table. Harry felt the deepest sorrow every time he thought about all the man things he had said to Draco, and he felt even worse when he realized it wasn't Draco's fault at all. Harry had became very confused with himself lately. He had meet Draco's eyes once in the halls, and felt something that he had never felt before. Harry quit often found himself turned on by certain things Ron did. Was he gay? It was something Harry had never really thought about.
Draco stared over to the Gryffindor table. He loved to see Harry smile at his friends. Just then Harry had stood up and started walking toward him. Draco fidgeted nervously in his seat. Harry had walked right up to Draco, and gazed in his eyes. He then smiled and began to kiss Draco very passionately. The whole student body watched in amazement, but Draco did not care he let Harry kiss him. Suddenly a sharp pain flooded Draco's hand. He shook his head in confusion, and seen an owl sitting next to him. It had all been a dream. Draco paid the owl, and repositioned himself so no one could see how aroused this day dream had made him. The package he'd received was a pouch of gold from some welfare group. Draco's parents were imprisoned after Draco told the ministry of how his father had given Snape permission to use Draco. Dumbledore had arranged Draco's stay year round, and this group sent Draco gold to live off of.
Later that day
Draco sat at his seat in potions class, the only thing that kept him going anymore. Since the new teacher, Professor Lemada came in he had sat in the back of the room. Today they were doing something with partners and Draco's heart sunk. He would have to sit with one of his class mates who now loathed him, for ratting out his father and Snape, and would not even talk to him.
"Everyone today will be with someone from the opposite house!" The class exploded.
"What!"
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" They went on and on for a solid three minutes until Lemada raised his voice.
"SILENCE! STIFLE! SHUT UP!" He did not look happy, and the students knew he was not one to mess with.
"Gryffindor along the far wall, Slytherin the close on, and do it in silence or I will deduct points." The two houses lined up quietly.
"Weasley and Goyle...Granger and Crabbe..." He listed names and the lines became smaller.
"Potter and Malfoy..." The class stopped and stared. Harry and Draco had not shared any words at all since the spell on Draco was lifted. Goyle and Crabbe were sneering to one another.
"Potter and Malfoy the heroes of the school!" Lemada looked to the two Slytherins.
"You two get zeros for today...Weasley and Granger you will work together." Ron and Hermione smiled with relief, and the rest of the class groaned.
"Enough get to work the instructions are on the board." Draco followed Harry back to their station neither saying anything. They worked in complete silence, handing each other what was needed. About midway through the potion Harry's hand brushed Draco's a raging fire flooded through both of them, but they both jumped and pulled away quickly, knocking all sorts of stuff into their cauldron. It hissed and let off a foul smelling odor.
"Boys! I will not tolerate this kind of nonsense go sit in my office...wait no the other two nimrods are there you sit in the hall!" They both left the room and into the hall. There was one chair outside the door, they both went to sit, but decided the other could sit there. Again they both tried to sit at the same time, and they almost say on each other. In the end neither wanted to take the chair, so they sat on each side with a long sigh. Unable to see Draco, Harry let a smile spread across his face.
"Sorry 'bout the potion...I didn't mean to knock--" Draco cut him off.
"Don't worry about it." The awkward hush fell upon then again. They both wanted to talk, but dreaded the thought at the same time.
After another half hour of silence the class exited the dungeon. Everyone one gawked as they walked past the pair. Hermione and Ron waved to Harry, who gave a slight smirk. The two did not dare move from their places. After a few more minutes, Crabbe and Goyle left the class looking rather depressed.
"Malfoy, Potter come in here!" They both stood and nearly knocked into each other again, and entered the classroom. They walked up to Professor Lamada's desk.
"You both will have detentions tonight after dinner. Lupin ((who is the DADA teacher again)) needs two students to go into the forbidden forest with him, and I was going to send the other two swines. But I think you two will be a little more capable of doing what he wants. Dusk be at the entrance hall and I'm sure you know, but do not leave the building alone!"
