Harry potter a tall skinny boy aged 17 was walking towards his favourite class Defence against the dark arts, he was in a rush since he overslept that day. Harry did not want to be late he knew Hermione was going to be mad at him for being late, because this was the start of a new term at Hogwarts the only thing that was bothering Harry was that Draco was back to Hogwarts as he claimed he wasn't a death eater anymore, well Harry could accept that but since Snape killed Dumbledore and not Draco he did not know why Draco had returned or what he was planning to do here.
Harry had collected all of the horcuxes and destroyed them which killed Lord Voldemort once and for all, Harry knew he would be the one to defeat him Dumbledore told him so, Dumbledore had always been right but now as Harry was serving his final year at hogwarts, he didn't know what to do first he thought of moving into central london the muggle world and becoming a male nurse but now he wasn't sure only time would tell.
Harry reached the Defence against the dark arts classroom panting as he stepped through the door, Professor slughorn was now teaching defence against the dark arts now and Lupin was teaching potions, Harry wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat next to his girlfriend Hermione.
"Sorry I'm late professor" Harry panted "Not to worry my dear boy, now take out your quill and begin writing what's on the board" Professor Slughorn smiled at harry turned to the board and carried on writing.
Harry's eyes scanned the classroom only to see Draco malfoy sat at the front desk completely on his own, Draco's hair was greased back as usual, but his clothes did not appear to be washed he had mud patches over his dark green Slytherin robes and a scar shaped like a scratch across his right cheek, Harry looked shocked he wondered why Draco wasn't sat with the other Slytherin's he usually sat with Crabbe and Goyle what's happened to his bodyguards. Harry had got a certain interest in Malfoy since last year when he stamped on his nose till it bleed, He didn't know why but Harry felt sorry for Draco he had been nothing but a spoilt little brat since the day the met on the stairs leading into the great hall, Harry could remember that day as though it was yesterday.
Flashback
"So it true then what they were saying on the train, Harry potter has come to Hogwarts. This is Crabbe and Goyle and I'm Malfoy.." Draco Moved over to him and smiled sweetly at him "Draco Malfoy" Ron wealsey snorted.
"Think my names funny do you? No need to ask yours red hair and a hand me down robe you must be a weasley, There are some wizarding families better than others Potter You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort, I can help you there"
Draco held out his hand. "I think i can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks" Draco glared at Harry and Walked away.
End of flashback
Harry sighed what if he wasn't so arrogant that day could they have been friends? Could he have stopped him from getting so much pain could we have worked through it together, Sharing eachothers pain.
Harry glanced at Draco once more and the bell rang, Draco turned around and saw Harry looking at him not with hate but with pity Draco began to cry and ran out of the classroom. Harry was confused he had to Talk to Malfoy no matter what.
"Come on Harry" Hermione held out her hand, Harry took her hand and walked to the next lesson which was potions.
"So Mione, do you know whats happened to Draco since we left school he looks really hurt?" Trying not to sound concerned
"Well Headmistress Mcgonagall said that he was forced to do it he had no choice and since he actually didn't have the dark mark then he should be allowed back to Hogwarts, since he never actually killed Dumbledore"
"Yeah thats true but he looks a bit rougher than before i mean his robes are filthy, whats with that"
"Oh Harry please don't start on this mission for Malfoy again we had enough last year, Ron won't mind it but I just get sick of hearing about Malfoy all the time"
"Mione I'm sorry I'm just worried that's all"
"Why are you worried even if you asked him, did he want help he wouldn't let you he's a Malfoy they don't take kindly to showing Weakness"
Harry and Hermione finally made it to the dungeons, Draco was stood at the door his books held tight into his chest he almost looked frightened, he eyes were shinning with tears as they poured softly down his cheeks Harry's heart ached as he saw the blonde showing Harry he was human. Harry walked away from Hermione and Towards Draco, Draco looked at him in surprise as Harry lay a hand on his shoulder and pulled him into a Hug Draco returned the hug although Harry didn't know why he had given Draco a hug. Draco's Tears soaked into Harry's shirt as Harry held him tight and softly stroked Draco's Hair, "shhh it's ok Draco" Lupin walked out of the classroom and told Harry and Draco to have a minute. Draco and Harry walked over to the bench outside and sat down, Draco was quiet for quite a few minutes but Harry would wait till he was ready to talk.
"Thanks Potter, For that just then"
"Draco call me Harry, I've never seen you like this what's happened"
"I can't tell you Harry, maybe i never will"
"But Draco"
"No Harry, I've lost my friends, my family, My name everything that made me, me has gone i can't tell you anything else"
"Draco you've not lost everything, You've still got me to bully" Harry smirked and Draco Choked out a laugh.
"Harry why do you care? You hate me"
"I did Draco until i saw you this morning, i used to be that person hurting and killing inside no matter what i won't let anyone else suffer like that"
"Thanks, Harry"
"Draco i know you will probably say no but.." Why am i tounge tied!! Harry thought
"Yes Harry?" Draco smiled at Harry
"Do you want to hang out be here for eachother, I know this is out of the blue but i think we both need it at the moment someone to talk to"
"What about Granger?" Draco dralled
"She's only my Girlfriend and to be honest I'd enjoy talking to you for a change"
"Yeah sure potty! I'm only messing Harry" Draco hit Harry playfully on the Arm.
This could be the start of something new
Harry was in the common room with High school musical on full blast and one particular song was reflecting how he felt at the moment. Harry was swaying his hips to the beat and jumping on the sofa and running around in front of the fire. Harry pulled Hermiones Hairbrush for the sofa and began to sing.
Living in my own world, didn't understand that anything can happen when you take a chance,
I never believed in what i couldn't see i never opened my heart ot all the possibilites,
I know that something has changed,
Never felt this way,
And right here tonight,
This could be the start of something new,
It feels so right to be here with you,
And now looking in your eyes,
I feel in my heart the start of something new.
In slytherin common room
Draco was singing on the top of his lungs to the same part with his shower cap on as he shook his hips as the water trickled down his body.
Now who would ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight.
And the world looks so much brighter with you by my side,
I know something has changed never felt this way.
I know it's for real
this could be the start of something new.
It feels so right to be here with you,
And now looking in your eyes,
I feel in my heart the start of something new,
Draco and Harry sing together
I never knew that it could happen till it happened to me.
I didn't know it before but now it's easy to see.
Harry slumped down in the sofa "Soon Draco soon" and soon drifted off into a deep sleep
