Authored by – Ryan
The Great Hall was buzzing with talk of the summer and new classes.
Harry sat in between his two best friends Ron, who was grinning from ear to ear with pleasure and Hermione had crazy sex hair. Harry Grabbed a plate and filled it with food.
"What took you so long, mate?" Ron asked, his smile fading.
"I was just talking with someone." Harry replied, hoping Ron wouldn't ask who.
"Who were you talking to?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Cho and Draco." Harry said whispering Draco's name. Ron must have heard him because he started choking on his pumpkin juice. "Malfoy!" Ron yelled, a couple heads turned towards Harry.
"Yes, now keep it down," Harry hissed at Ron. "Shit, too late he's coming over here."
At that moment Draco had gotten up from the Slytherin table and was walking over towards the Gryffindor table.
"Look at what you did!" Harry yelled at Ron. Harry wasn't ready to tell his friends about the conversation that went on in the carriage.
"Sorry mate." Ron said with a sincere look on his freckled face.
"Hiya Harry," said a god-like voice from behind Harry.
"Errr... Hi Draco." Harry replied, feeling the blood rush to his cheeks.
"Have you told your friends the good news yet?" Draco asked with a questioning look.
"I was just waiting for the right moment." Harry said with a smile.
Draco grinned. "Well nows the perfect time since we're all here."
"Fine," Harry whined, "Draco and I have decided to make a truce and become friends." Harry said. He then went on about what went down in the carriage. Hermione was the first to speak.
"Well, thats great Harry. I'm glad that you two decided that fighting all the time isn't doing anything."
Ron just starred at Harry with his mouth open in a big O. Hermione groaned and shook Ron. He sat up straight and said, "Wh... what? You and Malfoy are... Friends now?"
Harry nodded and turned to see Draco grinning. Harry could feel a blush coming on again.
Ron was speechless.
"Wow Harry! You and Draco, what a way to start inter-house relationships!" Hermione said with a huge smile on her face.
Ron was still just sitting there, then a small smile flickered across his face. "I'm dreaming right?" He asked, "Harry you wouldn't be friends with Malfoy."
"Ron you're not dreaming," Harry explained, "Mal- Draco and I really made a truce."
"WHAT THE FUCK." Ron yelled, making several heads turn in their direction again. "Have fun with Malfoy." Ron said before stomping away.
"Shit, I'll go try to calm him down." Hermione said, then she got up and left.
"Soooooooo, Harry. Do you wanna go and meet my friends?" Draco asked.
"I think I'll have to pass on that today," Harry said, "too much shit has gone down."
Draco's smile faded and a frown replaced it. "Well, can I walk you to your dorm?" Draco asked, the smile returning.
Harry sighed. "Why the fuck not."
