Draco was half way through a bucket of vanilla ice cream when Harry walked in. Draco paused with his spoon half way towards his face when harry sat down next to him. When harry looked up he held amusement in his eyes. Draco blushed and put down his spoon.
"So um how's the ice cream?" Harry looks at the tub with a raised eyebrow. "Vanilla? I would have put you down as a strawberry guy."
Draco scowled, pushing the tub away. Staring at harry he said. "So what you're just going to pretend that the little rant never happened?"
Harry turned to leave, why did he want to be friends with the slytherin anyway? Draco would never think of him like that but then Draco's hand grasped at his, harry froze, Draco's hands were so soft and gentle, harry smiled, turning back to him.
"Look could you please just forget it" harry said begging with his eyes.
Silver eyes gave in. "okay I will, but just tell me, where have you been? What happened? Please I want to know"
"And why should I tell you Draco? It's not like we are friends." Harry said gripping at excuses instead of opening up to him.
Draco turned away, well if they weren't friends what were they? And how many people like him now that he was in exile? None, nobody cares, at least that's what harry said. And what about harry? His friends have turned there backs on him now. Sure at the beginning there were searching high and low for there missing hero but after a while they just stopped looking.
"Then…why don't we be friends? It sure looks like you need one" Draco said turning back towards him. "'nobody cares' that's what you said wasn't it? Then why don't you let me care."
Why did Draco just say that? He didn't mean to, but he meant it, Draco mentally shook his head no it's just his curiosity getting the better of him.
Harry had a wide grin. Maybe there is a chance after all!
"Okay, friends then" harry said pushing the tub back and getting another spoon. "My favourite is vanilla too."
Draco laughed grapping his spoon again.
The two boys spent the rest of the afternoon talking and messing about.
As the day turned to night Draco turned to harry, they were in Draco's rooms currently talking about music but the conversation was going to take a turn.
"Harry were did you go?" he asked but when harry puzzled face, Draco decided to explain. "I mean after Dumbledore's office, you disappeared. Were are you staying"
"Oh" harry said, he grinned, he was sure that his blonde companion would love the answer. "You know, just the chamber of secrets"
Draco's eyes widened. "Could you take me there?"
Harry giggled. "Sure, just so you know, I have changed it a bit"
Draco didn't care; it was the chamber of secrets even if someone painted it pink with dancing penguins.
Draco dragged harry up from where he was sitting almost like an excited child. "Come on harry! You're taking to long" he said pouting.
"Okay, okay dray, I'm coming" harry said laughing. Draco smiled; Harrys laugh was rich and hypnotic to Draco even if he was still in denial.
Harry and Draco made there way down to the girls bathroom. Harry mumbled "I should really find another way in"
Draco giggled.
They made there way in through the tunnel, and then Draco gasped. It was just how he imagined. Well without all the extra stuff that harry added.
Harry left Draco to explore. he looked around his makeshift living room, and there in the corner was his guitar, he rapped his fingers around the neck of his guitar, sighing, he loved to play the guitar, him and Rico had been part of a band for a while, until they had a huge fight about it. harry still wrote songs though. he smiled turning to grasp his acoustic guitar. and then He started to play
I've seen a child is caught in the sad trap of gravity.
He falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree
and lands in the grass and weeps for his dignity.
Next time he will not aim so high.
Yeah, next time, neither will I.
Harry's voice was shaky but held firm. the guitar playing a beautiful melody. his mind turned blank, singing the words that released him from his terrible nightmares. Draco stopped in a tunnel hearing the faint song and started to follwo the sound and soon he could hear the lyrics.
He knows there's worse things than being alone.
And so I've learned to retreat at the first sign of danger.
I mean, why wait around, if it's just to surrender?
An ambition, I've found, can lead only to failure.
I do not read the reviews.
No, I am not singing for you.
Well I stood dropping a coin into the pit of a well.
And I would throw my whole billfold if I thought it would help.
With all these wishes I make,
I should buy something real, at least a telephone call home.
Well, my teachers, they built this retaining wall of memory,
all those multiple choices I answered so quickly.
And got my grades back and forgot just as easily,
but as least I got an A.
And so I don't have them to blame.
Well I should stop pointing fingers;
reserve my judgment of all those public action figures,
Harrys eyes were closed as if remembering what caused such a beautiful song, Draco looked on in wonder, and that's when he knew, knew that no matter how he tried to deny it, something was pulling at his heart.
for those who wish to know. the song is called 'lets not shit ourselves (to love and be loved)' by bright eyes. i have had this on going love for them since a young age.
