I'm sorry for all the misspellings, but I'm honestly the worst speller! So most of the times I have to guess and then whatever the spell check says has to be what I have to pick… But thanks for being patient with me, with lots of love the next chapter this one is mostly Harry. (Oh and I'm thinking of pulling to the end of the story soon.)
Harry POV
I walked slowly out of the Great Hall toward the Gryffindor common room thinking heavily, the whole world just disappearing as I contemplated what had been bothering me.
I do not know why but I felt extremely guilty throughout Saturday at all of today, my whole body felt out of it. I hadn't seen Draco since he walked off angry at me, though I looked almost everywhere I could think, he hadn't been anywhere. Therefore, I had concluded that either he was avoiding me or I just hadn't been the right places at the time.
Nevertheless, for whatever reason I couldn't stop thinking about him…
I turned right down a narrow hall that lead toward some spiral stairs. If I was trying to be anything but acquaintances with Draco, I was failing.
On the other hand, was I even trying? In fact, how do I try to become friends with someone you honestly didn't know very well. "Akio? AKIO!" I looked up startled to see Draco walking down the stairs quickly not seeing me there.
My heart fluttered weirdly happy seeing him coming toward me, even if his head was looking left to right on the ground. I smiled then actually noticed him looking on the ground. "Malfoy? What are you doing?" I asked lightly, he jumped back in surprise tripped and fell on the ground.
I ran forward "Are you okay?"I asked quietly when I reached him, and extended my hand. He looked at me with a blank expression then shook his head quickly. "Yeah I think so…" He said quietly before gasping my hand. Pleasure went though out me his cold skin cooled my unusually warm skin, like a breeze on a hot day.
But despite my own pleasure I helped him to his feet and let go, smiling a sheepish smile. "Sorry I startled you… I didn't know you hadn't seen me…" I said with another smile, He blushed and looked down at his feet. "No it's okay…"He paused taking in a breath of desperation, "I was just looking for Akio, he must have left during dinner and I don't know where he went… I thought I saw a white thing go down this way…" The blond said looking around again.
"Oh, let me help you." I smiled at his surprised face but he nodded, we started walking down the hall that I had just come from, both looking around on the floor. "Did you see him coming up the hall?" he asked quietly looking over at me.
"Actually I couldn't say," I blushed slightly, "I was kind of lost in thought." I answered quietly. Don't ask what about, don't ask what about, don't ask what—"What about?" he asked interested. I nearly fell over with the feeling that a medal pan had smashed over my head.
But stumbled instead, balanced myself but not my words "I-I was thinking you know… Of you, w-well not you but of, of the potions assignment! Like when we would have to turn it in, and how hard it would be and stuff…" I said feeling utterly embarrassed I looked away blushing, I laughed at myself before turning back to him with a small smile.
It caught him off guard, his eyes went wide and he flushed, and then laughed too. We looked down at the ground in an awkward kind a way.
I sighed then looked back up at him. "I'm sorry I made you mad the other day… The guilt has been driving me mad, so even if I don't understand it. I'm sorry." I said in a small voice somewhat hoping he would not hear it.
This time he stumbled, then said quickly and somewhat earnestly, "No it's my fault for changing my mood on something you didn't know about." He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else but a pained expression cut his face and he stopped.
We both looked down again, "So… umm…" Draco said quietly, that's when I realized he had stopped walking. I turned back toward him and walked closer about to ask what was wrong when he burst it.
"I'm sorry for acting that way." The Slytherin blurted out in a very unlike Malfoy way, he was flushing a dark pink, which made my heart coo longingly to brush my hand along his jaw, making my head spin in confusion.
He stretched out his hand, and I grabbed it we both sighed as pleasure blasted throughout our bodies. "Apology accepted." I whispered moving closer without realizing. He stared wide-eyed at me as I moved closer still our hands clasp.
"HARRY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Both Draco and I jumped apart, as Ron ran up to us, pushing Draco down to the ground roughly. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HARRY!!" Ron yelled at Draco making us both flinch at the volume of his voice. Draco was too shock to answer, "He didn't do anything wrong Ron!" I yelled, more quietly than he had but still loud.
"HARRY YOUR DEFENDING HIM!" Ron bellowed in range. "Yeah what of it?" I challenged him. He huffed then grabbed my arm tightly and started pulling me away. "RON Let Go of Me!" I yelled in frustration.
Draco got up from where he was and started coming after us, but Ron turned pointing his wand out and yelled, "STUPEFY" And Draco flew back to the ground. "Ah! Malfoy! RON LET GO!" I yelled again struggling to get out of his grasp.
"NO!" he roared, "we need to talk to Hermione he must have you hexed!" He started to drag me again. "You can't just leave him there!" I screamed at him. But he just scoffed, "Your defiantly hexed of course we leave him, he's MALFOY, Harry." He said pulling me away.
Draco POV
I started to get up from the floor my head dizzy, HARRY! I looked around quickly but there wasn't a person in sight. Not a person but there was a small white snake lying on my stomach. I sighed feeling the back of my now throbbing head. Akio rubbed his head against my hand in apology.
I realized he had come down here in effort to get me to talk to Harry when I was avoiding him not wanting to explain my actions of the previous day.
I stroked the top of his head, in thanks. However, my eyes were glue to the end of the hall worry fill my head.
By the way Weasley had acted, I hoped Harry was all right… I remember how Harry had been so close to me, before Weasley had interfered, and blushed. What would have happened if he had not come along?
Harry POV
Ron swung be on to the couch and Hermione came over quickly. "Malfoy must have hexed him!" Ron spit Draco's name in distaste, which pissed me off.
"Oh, Harry are you alright?" Hermione asked in worry. "Yes!" I snapped, "Or at least I was until Ron dragged me up here!" I said with a nasty glare at Ron that made them both flinch.
"Harry what's wrong with you?" She said in surprise, "Yeah, Harry you shouldn't ever hang out with a creep like bloody Malfoy!" Ron said angry again.
I snapped. "WHO ARE YOU TO BE TELLING ME WHO I SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T HANG OUT WITH? YOU TWO HAVE NOT EXACTLY BEEN VERY MUCH LIKE FRIENDS SENSE WE GOT BACK! YOU HAVE BARELY SAY ANYTHING TO ME! YOU LEFT ME IN THAT HELL HOLE WITH THE DURSELY'S WITH OUT ONE LETTER! EVEN ON MY BIRTHDAY! SO I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE A BLOODLY CHANCE IN TELLING ME WHO I HANG OUT WITH!" I yelled in utter and pure annoyance.
They sat with wide eyes staring at me, I turned to Rom with a death glare that would keep a lion at distance. "And in no way in hell will you ever hex Draco again, your lucky I still liked you, or I would have not head back!" I spat at him.
Then whispered warningly to both of them. "Don't talk bad about him in front of me again. Because he's been a much better friend to me this year than you two have." With that, I stood up and walked up to the dorm room.
I felt slightly bad about yelling at Hermione, but I felt complete now that they what I was feeling. I Changed quickly into my pajamas and climbed into bed, drawing the curtains down over me and cast a locking spell on them. Before shutting my eyes hoping Draco had woken up and gone back to his dorms.
