GOLDEN BOY
A new frantic by owlPost29
AN: This is a HP/DM slash story. I don't own anything related to Harry Potter.
The slash is very mild. I think I will avoid 'graphic details' as far as possible and concentrate more on plot developments and dramatic elements etc. Please R and R, and tell me what you think. My other story (Accio) is on hold until inspiration hits wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Draco sighed as he sat down in a bustling Slytherin carriage, embarking on yet another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As always, it had been a mad rush getting to platform nine and three quarters in time: the usual Malfoy dignity and regal grace had been discarded in the flurry of quills, books, cauldrons and robes. He had barely survived his father's aura of austerity, which often bordered on pure hostility, the whole holiday. Draco's mother was always kind and deeply loving towards him, but even she could not protect him from the ruthless Lucius.
He tried to feign amusement as the two tedious, troll-like oafs, namely Crabbe and Goyle, went on about all the havoc and catastrophic chaos they would cause in the coming year.
Contrary to popular belief, Draco did not like having to uphold the family name and walk around sneering at 'mudbloods' and 'blood traitors' all the time. How he wished he could be 'normal' – invisible. He longed to just be himself, and that he didn't have to put up a constant façade of Slytherin superiority…
Lost in thought, Draco watched the countryside go by, ignoring the others. He was sitting near the window, with the light, cool breeze in his blonde hair. He was drowsy – train rides always did that to him – and he had to stop himself from falling asleep and entering his world of dreams… dreams that had to be kept secret at all costs.
Draco couldn't remember when the dreams had started… it was as though they had been with him – a part of him – for ages. Ever since he had seen Harry with the body of Cedric Diggory after the Triwizard tragedy, he had been fascinated and obsessed with the Boy Who Lived.
Initially, he had been plagued by guilt and shame. He had a crush on a guy, and that guy just happened to be Harry Potter, of all people… his nemesis. He had no one to turn to. Only dreams: wonderful dreams about the one person he desired and longed for above all else; wonderful dreams about a life and love he could never have.
He would often sit dreamily in class and simply gaze upon the beautiful raven-haired boy, adoring his wild hair, luscious lips, piercing eyes… with all the surreptitiousness of a true Slytherin. Why me? He would often ask himself, when anguished by the unfairness of his situation and the fact that his love and affection had to remain concealed and unrequited.
Lately, the dreams, which were always so temptingly realistic, had become somewhat more, well, vigorous. The most recent one involved the two of them, moonlight, no clothes, grass and the lake. Draco, preparing himself for their imminent arrival, blushed at the memory. Even the Scourgify charm hadn't been enough to clean his sheets the next morning!
With what he regarded as unseemly haste, the journey came to an end. He straightened his impeccable robes, gathered his paraphernalia which was scattered around the carriage, and made his way, accompanied by the trolls, off the Hogwarts Express.
His pulse quickened when he caught a glimpse of Harry, talking excitedly with Ron about some or other triviality. Ohhh, if only that WEASEL knew why I really hate him so much, Draco thought bitterly to himself. This is going to be a long, hard year…

AN: End of chapter 1. Hope you liked it: reviews will determine the direction which this story takes. I am still undecided.
LOL: if only Draco knew how hard things were really about to get Winks!
BTW: Oh my word! JK Rowling admitting that Dumbledore was gay! I can't say I saw that coming, though I have been suspicious for a while!
