Chapter Two: Getting Ready

Warnings, disclaimer, and stuff are the same.

NOTES: THANK YOU FOR THE REVEIWS! None of my stories have gotten this much attention in 2 days, I feel all warm and fuzzy.

Also: the reason Draco is taking muggle studies because he heard the teacher was easy and it was better then Divination

-----------------------

Fluffy,

I'll let you know tomorrow. Meet me in front of the Great hall at 11:00

Squeaky.

Harry smiled as he read Squeaky's last letter. He couldn't help the huge smile that spread across his face when he read that. At that moment Hermione walked into the dorm where Harry was sitting. Being a seventh year prefect had it's perks. Both he and Hermione got their own private rooms (Ron went and begged Dumbledore in the end of sixth year to make Harry prefect, saying he couldn't take the pressure. Harry excepted of course) and were free to visit each other.

"Ok Harry I have everything planned out for your costume. All you need to do is to stand still tomorrow and I'll zap the clothes on.. You're not listening to me are you Harry?" Hermione asked. Harry snapped out of his trance. Hermione sat next to him "What's wrong Harry?" Hermione asked. Harry looked at his hands.

"Can I tell you something? And you promise that you won't flip a lid?" Harry asked Hermione nodded. "I'm in love with someone, I haven't even met this person, and… I'm gay." Harry's voice had started strong but by the time he said "I'm gay" his voice was a whisper. Hermione blinked at her best friend. There were very few things that shocked the seventh year prefect and this was one of those few.

"When did you figure it out?" she asked.

"While I was dating Samantha. I realized I was more turned on by her brother then by her. She didn't take it so well. Remember that black eye I got from "Dudley"?" harry asked.

"the one you came back from Holiday with.. Yea."

"That was her addition of Lord Of the rings… all three books in one. Very painful." Harry said.

"Oh…. So who's the lucky guy?" She asked.

"my Owl-Buddy. He's funny, smart, and doesn't pry." Harry said. Hermione smiled. She hadn't seen her friend like this in two years.

First it was Sirius, that had left harry an empty shell. When he came back in his sixth year he was changed. He never spoke to Dumbledore, even though the man sought him out. He poured countless time and energy into curses and hexes to defend himself. He also started spending more time with Severus Snape. By Christmas he was a master of occulmency and legemency. Even Snape wasn't able to block him.

Around valentines day, they saw a change in Harry. Harry had met a girl in 5th year named Samantha. She was funny and she made Harry smile. Everyone loved her. They thought Harry had too.

By the time finals rolled around everyone was high strung. The daily prophet gave reports of new attacks and with each attack a body was found with words charred on them. By the sixth body the message was "Hogwarts is next, Potter Will fall". Then there was another break-out in Azkaban and Lucius Malfoy officially came out as a death eater. Most people say he went mad in Azkaban, and they were right.

After exams it happened. Death eaters swarmed Hogwarts and the battle was started. It was over by sundown, Harry had killed Voldemort with the most Impressive array of hexes anyone had ever seen. But at a cost. Hagrid was killed by the giants who joined Voldemort and Remus Lupin was killed with a killing curse to the back. Harry spent two weeks recovering. Only to find out the last few death eaters they didn't catch, broke the wards protecting Privet Drive and killed Harry's aunt and uncle. Harry had no one… and that was the day his eyes lost his shine and his eyes never lit up again.

Despite what everyone (Hermione, the Gryffindors, and the Weasleys) had done nothing could snap Harry out of it. He spent the summer in Grimmauld Place. He and Samantha had made it actually livable. School had started again and Samantha and Harry weren't together. Harry had told everyone they went their separate ways and so had Sam. And Harry went back to the shell of a man he was

And now here it was a month later and Harry was giddy. Hermione didn't know what to think. How would Ron take it? He still was deluded, thinking that Harry'd marry Ginny even though Ginny had a boyfriend and Harry was… well Harry. He'd be too worried about the Weasley men killing him for deflowering their sister… even though everyone (except Ron) knew Seamus took care of that their sixth year.

Hermione shook her head to get rid of the trip down memory lane. To find that Harry had started talking again.

"… great hall. I mean I don't even know what I'm gonna say. I'm so nervous. Even Samantha didn't get me this nervous." Harry said.

"You'll look fine. I'm sure he's worrying about this too."

------------In Slytherin dorms------------

"God I look hideous" Draco said.

"Yea you do." Theo said flipping through a magazine

"Yes totally disgusting I can't imagine why I slept with you." Blaise said

"Because he's flexible." Theo pointed out.

"and kinky." Blaise added

"and has a nice ass." Theo said.

"Will you two shut up!" Draco said throwing pillows at them. Blaise and Theo fell into giggles as Draco huffed. "If you're not going to be productive then leave." he said

"Draco if we leave, pansy will take it as an opportunity to come in and molest you while you're trying to change. And that can be a distraction." Theo said.

"That and Lil Draco will shrink so much Draco won't be able to have sex anymore. Blaise said.

"To right you. That would be depriving Hogwarts of it's residential slut." Theo remarked.

"I'm as much of a slut as you two are." Draco said.

"Ow dray. That hurt." Theo said sarcastically. Draco sighed and looked at the mirror. Theo watched his best… well I wouldn't say friend. Friends really don't exist in Slytherin. Draco was a very close acquaintance and Theo had never seen his friend like this. He was nervous. And Draco never got nervous. Intimidating, scary, happy (at the expense of others), and mean were emotions that Draco felt… nothing more (aside from horny. But that was every 17 year old boy) was ever seen on the blond Adonis' face. Theo couldn't wait to see who was this mystery boy who was making Draco so nervous.

Friend or not Theo knew that he disserved a bit of happiness.

After Lucius was sent to Azkaban Draco had come back to school a different person. There was a rule in Slytherin house. If your parents were connected to snake-face you didn't acknowledge it and you didn't talk about it. But when almost all of the seventh year's parents went to Azkaban, rumors flew. Everyone whispered and pointed fingers. Teachers took of points for some Slytherins for no reason at all. By the time the break out of Azkaban happened, they were all pretty sick of it.

The war came about and Draco, Theo and Blaise convinced the entire seventh year to turn against Voldemort and fight for Dumbeldore's side. With their help Potter had found out Voldemort's hide out location and was able to defeat the Dark Lord in one day, though no one is sure how he did it.

Draco, Blaise, Crabbe, and Theo had all lost fathers in the war. After Lucius went mad it was a matter of weeks before he killed himself, leaving Draco and his mother to fend for themselves. Draco took over quickly as the head of the Malfoy house. He took the money he inherited and invested it. In a few short months he had quadrupled the Malfoy money that he father didn't spend in his life time. Draco was now on of the wealthiest 17-year-old in all of London. The only person who tied him was Harry Potter, who had invested a large sum of money in the Weasley twins new joke shop.

Theo had noticed that, all though he had many partners, Draco never settled down. Blaise thought he had commitment issues, but theo knew better. He knew that Draco's father had destroyed what little faith Draco had in love, he just hoped that this Fluffy fellow gave Draco the chance.

"So what do you plan to do draco?" Blaise asked. "Bat your eyes at him, talk dirty to him, throw him up against the wall and snog the living daylights out of him?"

"None of the above. I'm just going to talk to him. And we'll see what happens." Draco said putting his costume away.

"Draco Ignatius Malfoy. You're practicing restraint… do you love this boy or something?" Theo asked.

"Malfoy's don't love remember. I just feel nauseated, dizzy, can't stand still, can't stop smiling, want to talk to him every second of every day even if It's just to find out what he dreamt about last night and… I'm in love aren't I?" Draco asked looking at his two friends.

"Bulls-eye. Though to tell you the truth I'm not surprised. It was bound to happen soon. Of course my money was on Potter. There's a thin line between love and hate." Blaise said getting up. Blaise and Draco walked out.

/What if… Fluffy is Potter. Nah I mean there would be no way… could their?/ Theo thought. He walked out of the room scatching his head.

Review… cause if you don't draco won't get any and Harry
