Hey tell me if this is bad because i don't know about this chapter... Oh by the Way I LOVED the comments you guys gave! I can't believe i spelled 'snake' wrong! I felt really stupid! But thanks so much I love you all!


He met my gaze with a strange expression, like he was confused about something and I was distracting him. "Potter." I greeted trying to keep up the smug in my voice. Harry looked startled, "Er… hey, Dra-Malfoy." He stuttered trying to recover a calm voice, Wait did he almost call me by my name? I looked at him with a confused expression. He looked the other way red creeping it's way on to his features.

He let out a sigh, then turned back to me and smiled a bit. God that smile was hot, a crooked side grin, and it was directed at me! Whoa my heart fluttered, is it healthy for me to like him? He gestured to the seat next to him; I blushed slightly before sitting down. Maybe it's not such a good thing for him to sit next to me, god I'm going to blush every time I see him.

"Listen UP!" Snape yelled when everyone was sitting, all looking incredibly uncomfortable. Snape smiled, or what I think was supposed to be a smile though it looked like a singe of pain, at the arrangement of faces looking incredibly unhppy, "Okay the first potion we'll do is called, 'Mandocai Sinariia' (Man*do*Ky* - See*nair*a) When brewed correctly this potion helps the creator have the courage or will to do whatever he or she has wanted to with the up most confidence." Snape sighed before turning back to the board and started writing.

"There are other side affects good and bad, some are stubbornness which is to help you when your first attempt fail, failure to notice anything but the thing you're trying to do--"Snape droned on and for the first time I wasn't listening. I had looked over to Harry who had his arms spread out lazily on the desk and was hit with inspiration; he and I would be working on this project together for maybe a month if not more! I should try to start being nicer to him, but what will happen if I start being nice?

With a sly look at me Akio slithered off my hand toward Harry. Akio went for the right tan hand that was rested calmly. No Akio! I almost screamed reaching out without thinking for Akio, when my own cold hands felt warmth underneath them. I found myself grabbing Harry's hand… An electric shock of pleasure went up my arm and through my body. I looked up at Harry the look of realization written in shock through his eyes. I blushed, my eyes widened when I realizing I was still gripping his hand "I'm sorry!" I yelped, my hands flying into the air.

Everyone looked over to us, "It's—Okay…" Harry said turning his face toward the front with a confused looked starring down at the desk. I gulped before looking back towards the board. What's with that expression of his, somehow I think his and my relationship is changing, for better or worst who knows…

"Quite done, Mr. Malfoy?" Snape questioned skeptically, I nodded quickly blushing as I bend down toward my bag grabbing my note book, and writing down the notes on the board.


Thirty minutes later there was a soft tap on my shoulder. I turned my head to the side to see Harry's face about four inches from mine. I heard myself gasp as I jumped backward; Harry frowned a bit before moving his hand up reaching it toward me. "Here, I think this belongs to you…" He said opening his hand and showing a sleeping Akio tucked in a ball. My mother's voice drifted into my head, 'He must really like you, he hardly let me touch him…'

"Sorry for keeping him so long he just fell asleep and I didn't want to wake him… But since class is almost over." Harry said brushing my hand as he placed Akio in my hand, it was amazing how warm Harry made me feel, it was godly. The bell rang in a high pitched squeal, "Class dismissed, over the week talk with your partner about a study time that would work for you both." Snape said in a very bored tone.

Harry and I started packing up our things, "Ron, IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR PARTNER!" The book worm shouted. "Well MAYBE you could show a little PITY FOR ME!" Ron yelled, "Well it's NOT LIKE I LIKE MY Partne---" the argued out into the hall. Harry sighed, and then looked back up at me. "So what's your snake's name?" He asked.

It took me a minute, was Harry J. Potter making conversation with me? I love this new world I'm in, Akio you better not wake me up! Wait, he just asked me something what was it? Man he's waiting for an answer, something bit my finger. Ow! "Oh, his name is Akio." I answer with a small smile. "My mother gave him to me before school started, something about me drifting away from my friends and her giving me a companion…" I said realizing I had just poor myself out to him. Shit! Keep your mouth shut!

I laugh a bit, "Akio, huh, I like that name… Really fits him." He said as we walked out of the classroom toward Defense Against the Dark Arts. People were gawking at us, like we must be on a bet or making quiet death threats. "So why have you drifted from your friends? you guys always seemed to have fun picking on me." Harry said light heartily. "Well I found that they weren't my friends, they just were bribed to be by my father, you I just don't hang out with them anymore." I said again finding it hard to stop myself from spilling my heart, I know it soon I'm going to say something I'm seriously going to regret.

Harry looked thoughtful for a second before he looked back to me, "So, when do want to start making preparationsfor the potions project?" He said deciding to change the conversation. "Well, I usually get my homework done on Wednesdays and Fridays, So maybe we could work on it on Mondays?" I smiled finding that being nice to Harry was much easier than I had thought. "Yeah that would work perfectly!" He did a wide smile showing most of his white teeth. Ba-dum, Shit my heart beating like crazy, does he even know the power he has over people?


That Night


Harry POV

I walked slugishly into the common room, and plopped down on a considerable comfurtable couch next to the fire place. Draco said a small voice in the back of my mind. Yes thats right I had blocked him out of my mind till classes were over. But now, a giant wave of confusion washed over me. Why had my heart started beating when he grabbed my hand or when he talked to me? The for a second, millions of fissions of Draco floaded into my head. Him riding a broom, him at the robe shop at the beginning of school, him laughing with his friends, him on the bus, him--, him... The crash of all the memories made my hands grab on the sides of my throbbing skull, in attempt to hold it together. BING! My mind so cleared, THAT WAS IT!

I figured it out! I finally figured out why I'm attracted to Draco and I found itout when the memory of when he 'held my hand'(well sort of..)! I'm gay, and I like Draco! But I don't really think I'll move on it though... Because it's just sex appeal, I'm pretty sure, he's beautiful I mean who wouldn't want him, and I don't think he would ever like me... But you know I think that I can get him to become my friend. Hes started being nicer to me which is kind of confusing considering that it came out of no where. And sense Ron and Hermione are mostly ignoring me, maybe I was just temporary to them, it kind a feels that way. They don't even talk to me besides maybe a "hi" in the mornings. Maybe Draco wont be like that...


Draco POV

This couldn't be real. I streached out my arms toward the sliver pillow on my bed and cuddled it to my chest. My mind felt foggy, and everything was so dizzy... Harry's smile flashed through my head, I blushed and felt as though I was slowly floating up toward the ceiling. I can't wait till Monday... Then I flopped back to Earth, MONDAY?! I started feeling very nervous. What was I going to say? Where were we going to study? What time? What books were we going to study?! What kind of conversation could I bring up! How could I find a way to control my breathering! I almost started Hyperventalating, but Akio slithered up my back, his cold scales sent a shiver up my spine. And my mind started working again. A small smile grew on my face, scenes we both didn't know the answers I could going ask him! Now the only trouble was finding him, it was the weekend now and he could be anywhere in the castle. But that would have to be a problem for tomorrow, I snuggled under the covers Harry's smile came into my head again.
