Chapter Nine - Secrets Of The MindHarry,
Meet me by the lake tonight after dinner. Our potion was settled right after potions class had ended. Snape handed it to me, and notified me that we only have four days to write our reports. Tonight when we meet, we start with you.
Draco
Harry had been re-reading his letter from Draco, astonished, making sure that what was written on it was still what he read in the great hall. Harry couldn't believe how civil it sounded. Either Draco was changing, or he was really expecting to learn something from Harry.
"I just can't wrap my mind around it"
"What's that Harry?" Ginny asked in curiosity.
"Oh, it's nothing Ginny, I was just thinking" Harry replied with a smile.
"Well, sorry Ginny, but I have to go meet Malfoy now for our assignment, wish me luck!" Harry winked at her.
Hermione came barging into the Gryffindor common room, furious as hell. She was bumping into anyone who was in her way, including her friend Harry, who had been making his way to meet Draco.
"Hermione, settle down!" Ron shouted, coming down the stairs of the Gryffindor boy's dormitory.
Hermione stopped at hearing her boyfriend yelling at her.
"Sorry Ron, It's just that…damn Blaise Zabini gets on my nerves so much!" Hermione scowled.
"And what, pray tell did he do to make you this upset? Honestly Mione! Knocking people down while entering a room?"
"I said I'm sorry! But he just gets me so worked up, both him and Pansy! I swear he is the guy version of that prat!"
"I see, what is this all about Hermione?"
"Potions!"
"Potions?"
"Yes, Potions, It's all because of Potions that I had to work with that Man! He's evil I tell you!"
"What kind of questions did he ask you?"
"I, I…" Hermione stumbled, for maybe the first time in her life.
"You what, Mione?"
"I don't know…I don't know what he asked me! That potion some how blocks out what is asked of you." Hermione sounded worried.
"I see. Well there is nothing you can do about it Mione, and by the looks of it, you were questioned first and he wasn't at all, so that only means you can intimidate him next time you meet. And you may have more questions" Ron said with one eyebrow up.
"You're a genius Ron, that's why I appreciate you!"
"That had better not be the only reason!" Ron stated with a tone. A/N Weird how Ron and Hermione's qualities are switched just a tad bit.
"Oh it's not, trust me" Hermione said sweetly while leaning in towards her boyfriend and passionately kissing him on the lips.
"Potter"
"Malfoy"
"Thanks for coming"
"Well I didn't have much of a choice Malfoy. We have to do the assignment, or we could surly fail."
"Point taken"
"So do you want to explain to me why I have to be the first ginnypig?"
"Because, if this potion malfunctions in any way, then it won't matter because you are the-boy-who-lived, and if it were to go wrong with me, well we just don't want to think about that." Draco said with his I'm-more-superior-then-you tone.
"I see, so beauty before brains then, eh Malfoy"
"Don't you dare even think for a second that, that was funny Potter!"
"Oh, but I do!"
"And besides I'm the beauty and the brains, and you, well…you are just you!"
"Well at least being me is better then being a total and utter prat!"
Both boys started scowling at each other and would have flung fists at one-another if it hadn't been for that little voice in the back of both their minds telling them to STOP, TURN the clock forward, DO the assignment, then KICK each others asses!
"Let's just get this over with, Malfoy"
"I couldn't have said that better myself!"
"That would be because you can't speak proper English!" Harry chocked out a smile with his poor insult.
"I'm just going to ignore that, Pothead!"
"As I will ignore that!" Harry replied with a slight pinch of anger and hostility.
"Ok well we may as well make our selves comfy, Potter" Draco said while sitting down gently with the Potions in his hands.
Harry then sat in front of the blonde, and got a sudden uneasy feeling.
Maybe I do have more to hide then I know"Here, Potter" Draco handed Harry the vile with his half of the potion in it.
Draco looked down upon his notes, and read aloud that they were to take turns with this potion session. One was to drink the substance in their vile, while the other asked questions. The one who asked questions was to take the potion the day after the next, leaving each group with the same amount of time. One day for a potion and one for a report, then the third day for the second potion and the final day for the second report.
"Well here goes nothing then" Harry stated while holding the vile to his lips and with one huge swallow the potion ran down through Harry's veins leaving him with what seemed like a soulless body.
Draco looked at Harry frantically after he had taken the potion. He started to wave his hand in front of the boy to see if he would get a reaction. With no reaction coming from Harry, Draco thought it safe to begin the questioning.
Draco still couldn't get over the fact that the boy was completely lifeless, except for the fact that he could only answer questions. Truthfully, you might add.
Draco drew one of his long fingers towards Harry and gently touched the boy on the shoulder.
Harry suddenly went falling back and hit his head, and hit it pretty hard by the looks of it.
"Oh my, that must have hurt, did it?" Draco asked.
"Yes" Harry answered truthfully and expressionless.
I guess I should sit him up.
Draco got up, and made his way over to the raven-haired boy who had been lying on his back. He then motioned to lift the boy up and drag him towards the big tree trunk that they had been sitting by.
"Wow, you are heavier then you look" Draco commented while heaving for air.
Draco finally got Harry in an up-right position by the trunk of the trees and sat back in front of him. Draco had been sitting in silence for a while, while noticing the raven-haired boy's features. He took into account that the boy looked scrawny and weak, almost like he had never eaten. But Draco knew that Quidditch and fighting the long battles must have helped him in the muscle department, because Harry sure was heavier then anyone would realize. Looking at the boy's clothes and noting how baggy they were on him was something Draco always wondered about. Looking into the emerald green eyes of the famous Harry Potter almost made him forget why he was there in the first place.
"Well, let's get started then," Draco said with a dry mouth.
I guess we should start with small stuff first.
"What is your name?"
"Harry James Potter"
His middle name was his father's name. Draco noted.
"Do you have family?"
"No"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
Something must be wrong with this potion.
"What do you call your aunt and uncle then?"
"The worst of muggles."
"And your parents?"
"Dead"
"Who killed your parents?"
"Voldemort"
"Do you hate him?"
"Yes"
"Do you want revenge?"
"Yes"
"Are you on the side of the light?"
"No"
"Are you on the dark side?"
"No"
"Then what side are you on?"
"My own"
Good answer I suppose.
"Who are your friends?"
"Hermione and Ron"
"Do you like one more then the other?" Draco sniggered at his question.
"Yes"
Well that was unexpected.
"Who do you like more?"
"Hermione"
"Why? Do you fancy her or something?"
"No, simply, because in the end, she will be the one who still accepts me"
"Accepts you for what?"
"For being me"
Interesting…
"What is Sirius to you?"
"My godfather"
"So isn't he family?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because he is dead"
Harry has nothing but death in his past and future is seems.
"Are you scared of Voldemort?"
"No, just of what he might do"
"Are you scared of the death eaters?"
"No, I can beat them"
"What is your biggest fear?"
"To be rejected and pushed away"
So Potter does like the fame after all.
"Why is that your biggest fear?"
"Because it has happened once before, and I have regretted letting it ever since."
"When did this happen?"
"First year"
First year? But what could he possibly regret about first year?
"Whom are you the most afraid of?"
"Draco Malfoy"
"Why?" Draco hesitated a bit.
"Because I am scared he will push me away"
"Why"
"Because I let him do it before"
"No, why do you care if he push's you away?"
"Because…" Harry gasped a bit before answering him.
"Because?"
"Because I fancy him"
Draco stumbled a bit and hesitated to ask his next question.
"Why do you fancy him?"
"Because he was the first one to ever send me a real parchment."
This is it; this will be the last question.
"Is that the only reason?"
"No, he accepts me for who I really am, and not for being the savoir of the wizarding world, and he is much more then what he seems"
Draco could not believe what he had found out about Harry in that short period of time. Not only did Harry look stunning with the moonlight gazing down upon him, but he had found out that the boy he seemed to be fancying for quite some time now, in fact felt the same way as him.
Draco couldn't resist the temptation any longer. He leaned in towards Harry and had cupped his hand around Harry's soft cheeks, caressing them, and then had held Harry's head back a bit while caressing his sweet, warm, thin and tender lips with his long index finger. Draco leaned in closer and had paused for a moment, looking into the sweet and innocent emerald green eyes of Harry James Potter and for just one moment in time he had felt lost. He felt lost with temptation, and a sexual desire for the boy. For just one moment he was going to be able to gently place his luke warm lips upon Harry's. He knew that this moment would belong to him and only him, for as long as he would live. Draco also knew that somewhere deep inside of Harry's mind, he would hold their first kiss dear as well, but it would be faint and almost unrealistic to the boy.
And with no more thought Draco finally took the plunge and kissed the green-eyed boy in front of him.
To Be Continued…
Spoiler - Hermione debates what is love and what is friendship, while Harry is drawn to yet another parchment…
Authors Note – So we finally saw some action in this chapter, what did you all think? Did anyone see it go down differently, maybe longer, or shorter, perhaps? I don't know, you tell me LOL! Well I hope I don't keep anyone waiting for the next chapter long! Please review good or bad!
