Harry trudged through his lessons, waiting till he could finally get some answers. He was barely paying attention to what was going on in Potions until Hermione poked him in the ribs. Harry yelped in shock and looked at Hermione in frustration. She was really starting to get on his nerves at this point of time. "Hey mate, look at Malfoy sleeping over there," pointed Ron as he and a few other Gryffindors snickered at the sleeping Slytherin. Harry took in the sight of Draco softly snoring, oblivious to the world around him. He was drooling in his sleep and Harry thought that it looked rather cute but didn't dare comment on it. He scolded himself for having such a ridiculous thought and continued to observe Malfoy.
Malfoy never sleeps in class, especially Potions of all classes. Harry shook his head and looked ahead at Snape who was rambling on about the uses of asphodel. As Snape looked around the classroom, Harry noticed Snape's gaze linger on the sleeping Slytherin. Snape quickly averted his eyes and continued on with his lesson. This struck Harry as odd. While Snape was definitely known as being bias to the Slytherins, Snape had never let anybody sleep during his lessons. As the lesson progressed, Harry mulled over this thought and pondered over the question he had been asking all day, Why?
As soon as class had ended, Harry saw Blaise Zabini shake awake the sleeping Slytherin. Malfoy swatted away his hand and mumbled something that Harry couldn't make out from where he was. When this attempt seemed to fail, Pansy Parkinson screamed in her high-pitched voice, "Draco Lucius Malfoy, get your head out of your arse and wake up!" Draco immediately woke up and had his wand pointed at Pansy in record time, ready to hex her. When he noticed who it was,he blushed turning his usually pale skin a deep shade of red and lowered his wand.
Harry was definitely taken aback by the quick reflexes of the Slytherin and realized that this was probably the reason why he was seeker of the Slytherin quidditch team. Draco looked up, locking eyes with Harry and his sheepish smile turned into a scowl. Harry knew that this wasn't the time to confront Malfoy and hurried out of the classroom.
Harry grumbled to himself about the lost opportunity and suddenly an idea struck him. He could use the Cloak of Invisibility and trails Malfoy to wherever he was going. Harry raced back to his dorms and picked up the cloak, and after a second thought, picked up the Marauder's Map as well. As he was about to go on his quest to trail Malfoy, he was stopped by Hermione and Ron who were sitting in Gryffindor common room.
"Where are you heading off to Harry?" asked Hermione as she fidgeted with her hands, looking over to Ron as she did. "Mate, we know that something's up. You might as well tell us," said Ron, clearly much more confident than Hermione. Harry scanned through his brain, looking for an answer that was vague yet pacified their suspicions. "I'm dating Ginny again," he blurted out.
Ron's eyes widened and his mouth closed, then opened and then closed again. "I… urrr… we are still working things out and I didn't want to worry you guys," rambled on Harry. Ron, who had disbelief written over his face, just nodded. Hermione, on the other hand, didn't look as convinced but still nodded her head in agreement. Harry could see her trying to decipher the truth and reminded himself to come up with something better to cover up what he was doing. Without anymore explanation, he ran out of the common room and away from the scrutinizing gaze of Hermione Granger.
Shit, thought Harry as he was about to start looking for Malfoy, he would have to get Ginny to go along with his plan or he would be found out in no time. By sheer luck, Ginny was strolling towards him as he turned the corner. "Ginny, I need to ask you for a favor. Please can we pretend like we got back together," Harry tried to say in his most pleading voice. "I guess we could but…" Before Ginny could finish Harry had run off, hoping to track down Malfoy.
Why was Malfoy still in the Potions classroom? Shouldn't he have left by now? What was particularly curious, was that Snape was also there. Harry neared the classroom and was greeted with a partially closed door. He put on the Cloak Of Invisibility and slipped into the room. The sight that he was greeted with made him gag.
Draco Malfoy was being pinned down on the teachers' table by Snape. Harry couldn't stop his sharp intake of breath and quietly cursed himself for making any sound at all. Draco looked up and at the corner that Harry was in. Draco was shirtless and Harry noticed his robes and tie on the ground in a corner. Harry could see the lean muscles covering Draco's torso and gulped. Snape looked up and looked over to where Draco's attention seemed to be.
"Maybe we should stop for now," suggested Draco in a voice so small and timid that Harry was taken aback. Snape finally looked away from Harry and nodded his approval. "But we are meeting again tonight," he said firmly and planted a kiss on Draco's lips. Snape then straightened himself out and left the room.
