Notes
Again, English is not my 1st language, so please forgive any mistake and feel free to point it out (respectfully, please).
Eventually this story will contain some boyxboy.
I'll try to update the story weekly.
The song in this chapter is called Fragile by Poets of the Fall. It's gonna be a lot of those around here, so give it a try and listen, it's very good :)
Please leave a review, tell me what you think, about both the chapter and the song. :)

The first two months felt like first year all over again. The 8th years had different habits from what they used to do before. They had to learn how to adapt to the new housemates, but in general it was going well, all of them went through the same shit. The Slytherins were very much to themselves, but they were not as nearly as bad as they used to be. Blaise Zabini would play chess with Ron almost every night, Theodore Nott and Pansy Parkinson would study a bit with Hermione in the common room every afternoon. Draco Malfoy was frequently alone reading some book. Not that he didn't have friends, he did, but he was still dealing with his inner demons, and he would rather do it by himself. He and Harry were getting along, they would talk about Quidditch, music, or school, at night, but they were not really close, they didn't talk about themselves.
It was Saturday and the students were allowed to go to Hogsmeade for the day. When Ron and Hermione asked Harry to go with them he just said "Oh no, no, I don't want to hold the candle! " Little did he know that his two best friends didn't date anymore. So they decided to tell Harry that at dinner. Ron and Hermione were still best friends, like before, just didn't love each other romantically how they thought they did. The former couple decided that they didn't want to miss Hogsmeade, so they went with the Slytherins.
Harry sat in his room. He had been thinking a lot lately, and came to the conclusion that he was starting to like this new Malfoy. He had noticed how soft his blonde hair looked, how beautifully pale his skin was, how bright were his rare smiles. But one thing got Harry worried: Draco's nightmares. They were so frequent and Malfoy seemed to always be in extreme pain, always screamed and made agonized noises. Harry didn't like that at all, he just wanted to reach the boy and stroke his blond hair and tell him everything is going to be okay. Still thinking about Malfoy, Harry started playing his new acoustic guitar. The brunette had ordered one a few days after Malfoy told him that he played. As he played the melody he started to sing.
You've been biting bullets all these years, I know
There beside yourself, choking our tears
And you aced avoiding possibility
When you placed your bed's on bittersweet
Oh now don't you worry
No need to be sorry
time to still lightly
Malfoy entered the room and listened the soft voice that sang along with the melody, and he recognized the song immediately. He loved that band, it was one of his favorites. As Harry saw the bold boy at the doorway his heart almost jumped out, but he just smiled and kept singing.
Cos the love you used to feel's still there, inside
It may be a faded photograph, but I know you care, so don't hide it
If you're scared, I'm here beside you,
If you get lost I'm here to guide you
and I'll give you peace when peace is fragile
Love is all the good in you
Love is peace when peace is fragile
You've been going out of way to agree
Like you've been rubbing yourself all wrong just to be somebody else's genie
Catering to your disasters every need
Waiting to finally be set free
I said baby don't worry
Life will carry
Just take it slowly
Draco was fascinated by that soft and angelic voice, by those strong hands that played the guitar like they were caressing it. He didn't resist the urge and sang along with Harry.
Cos the love you used to feel's still there, inside
It may be a faded photograph, but I know you care, so don't hide it
If you're scared, I'm here beside you,
If you get lost I'm here to guide you
and I'll give you peace when peace is fragile
Love is all the good in you
Love is peace when peace is fragile
As the melody was dying Draco felt his face turning red because of what he had just done. Harry was speechless before that, and a little flushed himself, but he had loved that Draco sang with him.
"So you like Poets of the Fall?" Harry asked, a little overwhelmed.
Draco cleared his throat and answered "Yes, I like, they are my favorites actually. They are great"
Harry could only nod. "So Potter, I didn't know you could sing."
"Yes I can, but is nothing special really, but I could ask the same to you. I dint know you could sing like that."
"I had lessons when I was younger. You know, music was the one thing that helped me to go through the war." Draco didn't know why the hell he just said that, but there was no going back.
Harry could only look at the other boy with fascination. Draco decided to cut the tension "I heard that you, Weasley and Garnger had a band, is that true?"
"Oh, sort of, is more like a hobby really" Harry said felling a little awkward.
After that little moment the boys talked a bit more opening themselves to the other just a little more. Harry discovered that they had much in common, but they were different at the same time.
Later that night the 8th years were in the common room, some playing games, others just talking or relaxing. "We should throw a party!" Seamus almost screamed, startling the others. Multiple "yes's" and "party's" were heard in the room, but Pansy said "Not today, it's almost 10 o'clock, we don't have any alcohol, and we can't invite anyone else at this hour!"
"Pansy is right boys, we should throw one, yes, but not today, we need a little planning!" Hermione backed with Pansy.
"Oh, okay" Seamus said with a grin "plus you, Ron and Harry will have time to practice to play at the party!"
"What?" Harry who was not playing much attention shouted "we are not playing in public, Hermione you don't want that do you?! "
"Harry it's a great idea" Ron said excited, with Hermione nodding. "It'll be fun, Harry! " Everyone started to shout "Harry" and he just glanced at Draco who had a smile on his face, and those shining eyes told him jus to go with it.
"Okay, but I choose the songs and the date!" Harry said pouting.
Everyone burst into laughter , and Draco just winked at Harry.
