Strings of the night
Chapter 5
Gay or not
Harry tried to will the day to be longer but it felt like it went by in fast forward and he soon found himself fingering his miniature cello as he waited in front of the great hall doors.
Anxiety was starting to take over him as he watched the large clock chime at 9:30 pm, he just considered leaving without Draco when the blonde boy came around the corner in a ruffled state and Harry noticed that he had a slight hint of pink in his cheeks.
"Come on then, Potter, lets go" he growled and was straightening out his robes, the green eyed boy was rather curious as to why Draco Malfoy was so put out but he knew better than to pursue the matter from the look those grey eyes gave him.
They walked down two flights of stairs and through a corridor that Harry had never been through before; it had large paintings of stern looking people with their pets (which were also stern and had a certain gruesome look about them)
The fire lights flickered a poisonous green colour as the two passed by, as if they knew their master was near, Harry felt weirdly lethargic when he gazed to long at the fire and Draco seemed to notice because he slapped Harry on the back of his head rather hard.
"Ow! What was THAT for?" growled Harry and he felt the sharp pain shoot up the back of his head and sink into his skull; he was very much awake now that his cranium throbbed.
"It's a protection spell, to keep out unwanted visitors" the blond Slytherin said knowingly and continued down the sweeping corridors until they reached a painting of a large steel dragon with blazing green eyes and a silver shimmer to its scales, it was devouring a knight and its horse with great satisfaction before looking up at the approaching wizards with interest.
"Insomnia" Draco said in a clear voice ignoring the raised eyebrow off Harry, the dragon let out a piercing howl before swirling into a mess of colours and disappearing to leave a gaping hole in which Draco shoved Harry into.
"Insomnia???" Harry repeated with a look of curiosity at Draco who shrugged and made his way down the black marble steps.
"Isn't that what happens when a person can't sleep?" asked the black haired boy shifting around on the raised platform. The blond haired boy blinked and shrugged again.
"Can we just get on with the lesson already?" he transfigured a chair into a stylish black cello (apparently he has this thing for black objects) and motioned to the seat that was across from him "I would like to begin in this century if you may"
Harry shook his head out of his questions and walked over to the Slytherin "Okay, you have to sit on the edge of your stool"
"Are you crazy Potter? I'll fall off the damn thing" retorted Draco, the green eyed boy rolled his eyes.
"Here let me show you" he took out his own instrument and enlarged it, sitting down on his stool he started to go through the basics "See, you have to sit like this and spread your legs so that………"
"Gross Potter, I'm not spreading my frigging legs for nothing" Draco pulled a face at the green eyed boy who rolled his eyes back.
"Well you're going to HAVE to or you can show me how the hell you are going to play" his green eyes glared back at those piercing grey orbs for about a minute until he saw them roll.
"Fine, fine" he did as he was told and then began their lesson.
When they got through the basics of holding the instrument, Harry taught Draco how to pluck the stings.
"Excuse me? Pluck?" said that familiar drawling tone; Draco was watching the black haired cello teacher with a bored look laced with a hint of sarcasm. "We have a bow, aren't we going to use it?"
"Yes but after you have mastered the plucking" Harry started to pluck his own one with a slight grace that the blond Slytherin found rather intriguing. The long slender fingers worked their way up and down the finger board.
Draco tried it after Harry demonstrated though while his right hand fingers were doing the plucking, his left arm lay limp at the top of the board without tending to any of the strings, he was too busy looking down at the strings and concentrating on playing well that he didn't notice Harry getting up.
He slid in behind the grey eyed boy and sat in the remainder of the space in the stool, Draco had stopped plucking "Potter what are you d……."
He felt his left hand being bought to the strings by Harry's and pressed down to different intervals of the strings "You have to use both hands when you play so that you can bring out the different tunes, there's no use in playing with you are only going to play using four strings"
"Very considerate of you to point that out but if you don't mind me saying……. Get your hand off mine….." Draco said the first sentence sarcastically but hissed out the last bit, the creamy coloured fingers that were entwined with his pale ones immediately lost contact when he made that remark.
"Alright, alright just showing you the right way" with a roll of the emerald orbs.
"Well next time, just tell me and I'll figure it out myself" he said a little more viciously than intended and then he added "and if you don't stop rolling your eyes they're going to roll right out of their sockets"
"Shut up Malfoy"
"Scar head"
"Ferret Face"
"Four eyes"
Harry shoved his slipping glasses back up his nose and sat back down in his chair "Whatever Malfoy, let's just get this over and done with so I can go back to my dorms"
For some incoherent reason Draco retorted back with an "Eat me Potter" before resuming with his plucking, this time using both limbs.
Don't mind if I dothought Harry as he tried hard not to blush while he stuttered out the positions of the fingers and the right way to hold the instrument so that it wouldn't slip on the floor.
"Oh shit I just remembered" the black haired boy burst out suddenly stopping the blond in a mid pluck, he felt the instrument being wrenched out of his hands and flipped pretty gracefully, considering the size and weight of the object, and a silver pin was drawn out of the end of the cello. "I forgot to mention that you had to pull out the end pin when you play"
"Nice going, you tell me this now when we're half an hour into the lesson" sneered Draco as he snatched the cello back from Harry's grasp, the new height was rather weird as the top half of the cello was half his height.
"The body is meant to touch your chest" murmured the Gryffindor, he didn't exactly know why the Slytherin boy shot a look up at him.
"Your body is coming nowhere near mine Potter" he said with a snarl, his grey orbs looked back down at the black instrument. Though he did secretly wish it did sometime soon……..
Really now Malfoy? You weren't exactly complaining when you kissed me before… Harry's mind seemed to get the better of him as those thoughts crept into his head, he didn't say them out loud for fear of what Draco might do (eg: blackmail)
"I wasn't talking about my body for crying out loud" the green eyed boy let out a frustrated sigh, Draco felt that this was the perfect time to grin devilishly and add a remark.
"You feel like crying out loud now, do you?" the green eyes glared at the smirking grey ones "I'm sure that could be arranged"
Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing; one minute Malfoy was telling him off about touching his body a very nice body mind you and the next he was practically inviting him to shag!
"Anyways as I was saying…….the bow has three assets…………." The black haired boy maintained his blush as he started his talk about the bow, not realising that Draco wasn't even paying attention to him.
Now what is he talking about? Assets.......… hmm he's got pretty good assets Draco was busy noting down the good assets of Harry's body to even notice a thing that the other was talking about.
It wasn't until Harry snapped his fingers in front of the blonde Slytherin that he snapped out of his eye-candy session.
"Malfoy, are you even listening to me?" the Gryffindor asked impatiently "Or are you busy day-dreaming about some girl??"
Ever occur to you that I might be gay?
"Ever occur to you that I might be gay?" Draco said quoting his exact thoughts, he had finished mastering the plucking and had his chin rested on the body of the cello looking at Harry with those grey orbs.
"I ……Oh bloody hell Malfoy…. That's beside the point, you weren't listening, how am I supposed to teach you if you don't listen??" Harry was standing now, quite embarrassed at the thought that he was about to answer to the Slytherin's first question.
"The topic is boring, talk about something else"
Harry was beginning to think that it was overall impossible to teach the damn ferret about anything.
"The fact that the matter is, I AM HERE TO TEACH YOU!!"
Draco rolled his eyes "I've learnt enough for tonight, you can come back tomorrow"
"Fine, then I can go" Harry stated but Draco stopped him with a hand.
You ain't going nowhere Potter
"No, you will stay, I wish to talk"
"Then talk to yourself, I have better things to do" oh who the hell am I kidding??
"No, we can make this a sort of a game, every night before you leave" Draco said with a drawl and a smirk.
"Well as much I hate to refuse….."
"Then don't"
"Look Malfoy….. I've taught you now I want to go you never said anything about staying after a lesson for some stupid game" the Gryffindor was beginning to wonder whether he would ever get out of this mess.
"Well I'm telling you now, it's a truth or dare game but with magic…" a smirk then "Don't be such a goody-two-shoes Gryf"
That hit a nerve "I am NOT"
"Yeah you are" smirk still pasted on Draco's face.
"You want a cello thrown at your face? Because it's bound to happen if you don't let me out" Harry glared at Draco until he finally waved his hand with a sigh.
"Fine, go be with your dorks, I'll see you tomorrow" the blonde haired boy opened the portrait door and Harry gave him a rather surprised look "What Potter? Don't think that this has ended… I'll keep pestering you till you give up"
Harry rolled his eyes and started to walk off but then at the last instant, turned around a different person because he grinned at Draco's back with a bright emerald glint in his eyes "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalfoy"
Draco turned around slightly peeved at the thought of the Gryffindor "What now Potter? Lost your brain?"
He was surprised when the black haired boy cupped his face and gave him a very passionate kiss.
