Chapter Five
The next few days were really awkward. Sirius, Snape, Malfoy and I were all thinking emmm... AWKWARD and Remus was just thinking what the hell is up with these people. Someone should maybe have told him, but I'm not going to go through telling anyone again. I don't think Malfoy would either. And Sirius is busy trying to pretend he wouldn't have a problem with me and Malfoy if we were together. So that leaves Snape. But he's Snape so he obviously didn't bother what a nice lover he is.
Malfoy and I were sitting in our dorm room in an awkward silence, neither acknowledging the other when Malfoy said. "I could really use a drink Potter, any idea how to get into Hogsmeade?"
I thought for a minute, should I tell him? Then I decided "Yeah I could really do with a drink too. There's a secret passage to Honeydukes, we could go there?"
"Ok" said Malfoy indifferently. We had obviously both decided not to talk about it and just pretend the whole kiss thing had never happened.
We went down the secret passageway and sneaked out the cellar and up through Hogsmeade to the Hogs Head knowing Madam Rosmerta in the Three Broomsticks wouldn't serve us.
"I really do love you Harry, you know that don't you?" slurred Draco.
"I love you tooooo" I replied. We were completely pissed and could barely stand.
Eventually the barman decided he was going to shut the place for the night and helped us floo back to Hogwarts. We flooed to the Slytherin common room, knowing that no one would be there and it was close to our dorm room.
I opened my eyes slowly, then clamped them shut tightly, as quick as I could. My head was killing me. Opening my eyes a crack I peered at my watch. SHIT! It was after 11, I'd missed breakfast and the adults would be wondering where I was. I couldn't remember what had happened last night. The last thing I remembered was sitting down at the bar in the Hog's Head. I'd better get up now I decided. There was a strange weight pushing down on my chest. I fully opened my eyes. I looked down at my chest and saw Malfoy's white blonde hair. Why was he sleeping with his head on my chest? We'd better not have done anything last night. I looked down. I was still fully clothed thank god, but I still couldn't be sleeping in the same bed as Draco. Imagine if Sirius walked in. I pulled myself quickly off the bed letting Draco's head fall onto the bed. "Ughhh" he groaned. Oops I maybe should've been more considerate.
Opening his eyes Draco clutched his hand to his head. "Oww my head hurts" he groaned. "What happened last night?" Suddenly, as though he'd only realised he wasn't in his bed he said, "Why am I in your bed Potter? What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" I argued. "I was hoping you might remember what happened and have an idea as to why we were both asleep in my bed with you lying your head on my chest."
"Nope I dunno but don't talk so loud, my head hurts."
I agreed. "I'm starving, you coming down to the kitchens to get something?"
Draco nodded and started to get up. He reached a hand to his hair.
"Oh my god my hair is a state..." he moaned.
"God, you poof" I joked, "who cares about your hair?"
"I do. I need a shower. NOW"
"You could use the Prefects bathroom now you're a prefect" I suggested. He nodded. "Mind if I join you?" I asked.
"Only if we both wear swimming trunks: I don't want you staring at me" he joked.
"That's not what you said last night Draco" I teased. His eyes opened wide in shock.
"I thought you couldn't remember" he started
"Calm down. I was joking"
We arrived at the Prefects bathroom and slid into the water. I couldn't help but stare at Draco's slim muscled chest. He was staring at my arms. I frowned and looked at my arms too. They were covered in thin pink and white scars. I'd forgotten about that. Oh well he already knew about it anyway. After a while I got bored of sitting talking and decided to start a bubble fight. I grabbed a handful of bubbles and shoved them into Draco's open mouth. He coughed and chucked a handful back at me. Soon there were bubbles everywhere. I looked up and saw the clock on the wall said it was about time for lunch. "We should probably go to lunch" I said. "They'll worry if we skip two meals." Draco nodded and we climbed out and got dressed, before walking up to the great hall.
We walked in and sat at the table, still talking and laughing, much to the confusion to the adults who assumed we would still not be talking.
"Where were you at breakfast?" asked Snape
"Overslept" Draco and I said at the same time. We grinned at each other and started helping ourselves to food.
