Hello again everyone!
I'm really, really sorry this has taken so long, it was the summer holidays and I was going kind of crazy with all of the stuff I had on in my life. But I'm back at school now, which means (for some strange, strange reason) that I have more time to write fanfiction XD
I know that this chapter is really short, and I'm sorry, but I really couldn't write any more, I just let the story go the way it wanted to, so I had no idea what was going to happen until I got around to writing it.
I would also like to say a Happy Birthday to my friend Heavensboy, it's a bit late, but it's still happy birthday :D
I hope you enjoy!
Draco was trying to stay calm; he wasn't supposed to be nervous, was he? He had given Potter the answer to his problems, which meant that he'd be okay, didn't it? Potter was the best flyer in the year, is anyone could escape from an angry dragon; it was Potter.
"If he survives I'll tell him, I promise, I'll tell him about the dream, that it was me who left him the note… I'll call him Harry… He can be my boyfr-"
"No!" he shouted… and everyone looked at him, why on earth had he thought that? He didn't want Harry Potter to be his boyfriend… Of course he didn't.
"I forbid myself to think like that ever again! I will tell him about the note, but that's all…"
The cannon went off; it was Potter's – No, Harry's – turn to face his dragon.
Draco began to breathe quicker, Harry was stepping out into the arena, looking around for the dragon, he couldn't see it because it was hiding from him behind a large rock. Harry stepped out further, suddenly more confident because he couldn't see the dragon. As he reached the edge of the cliff he was standing at the top of, the dragon burst from behind the rock and blew a rocket of flames at him.
Draco gasped, Harry had fallen from the cliff and onto the hard rocks beneath - the dragon was advancing upon him again - he had to move. If only Draco could do something to help him.
Then he remembered his godfather's legilimency lessons, Draco had never really been able to do it, but it was worth a shot.
He discreetly pointed his wand at Harry from under his robes and whispered the word "legilimens." Nothing happened, "legilimens," he whispered again, still nothing. He looked around slowly, everyone was watching Harry, "Okay…" he whispered, "let's do this thing: legilimens!" he said quite loudly. Suddenly he felt Harry's mind touch his, "Your broom, summon your broom… Come on Harry!"
Still Harry did nothing, he had to make him do something or he might be killed by the dragon, "Come on Harry! You have to… I… I love you…"
He watched Harry closely, a look of shock appeared on his face and then he looked up to the crowd and straight to Draco, he opened his mouth and shaped the words I love you too. Then he thrust his wand into the air and shouted, "Accio Firebolt!"
Draco was stunned, he couldn't believe he'd just done that, or, in fact that Harry had replied in the way that he had. He lifted his hand to the face and was surprised to find that it came away wet, had he been crying? He looked back at Harry, he was going to be fine, he was swooping around the dragon with ease. There was a big gash on his shoulder though, he must have done that when he had fallen, it didn't matter though, Madame Pomfrey would fix it in seconds.
He stood up and started to leave, he couldn't let anyone see that he had been crying. As he left the stadium he heard a massive cheer, "Harry must have got the egg!" he thought excitedly. It took him a few moments to realise that he was crying again, he hurriedly wiped his eyes even though there was no-one around and then put his head down to stop anyone leaving the stadium from recognising him.
"Where do you think you're going Draco?" came a cold voice from behind him, Draco turned, lifting his head slightly, "Professor Snape?"
"Yes, that is my name Draco, now please answer my question."
"I'm just going back to my dormitory."
"And why, may I ask, are you leaving so early?" asked Snape
"Err… Because I've got homework, I've got to finish it for tomorrow…" Draco lied.
"If you say so…" said Snape sceptically.
Draco began to walk away.
"I was watching you today…"
"What..?" Said Draco, Snape couldn't have seen him, there was no-one watching him…
"You must remember Draco, that just because no-one is looking at you does not mean they are not listening to you… I see you have mastered legilimency."
Draco looked up at the tall man looming over him and felt tears creep into his eyes again, "Please don't tell father…"
"I won't, Draco, but I would like you to remember one thing,"
"Yes professor?" said Draco, suddenly interested
"Don't ever give up on him," then Snape walked briskly past him and into the school.
I promise you that there is a whole lot more to Snape's words than it seems, I might even do a flashback chapter where we find out what he's talking about ;)
Please review, I don't care if it's just to say that this chapter is terrible, I would very much like some reviews :)
