What was Snape's problem? Draco wondered angrily. He knew full well how much Draco loathed Harry! Draco, Draco, Draco…you do not loath Harry at all. You're just angry because Snape paired you with Harry (obviously to irritate Harry…not you) and you are feeling raging sexual tension and just want to push Harry up against a wall and have your wicked way with him. Is it really Snape's fault for not realizing that? Honestly Draco.

Draco grimaced. The little voice was getting even more maddening. It was driving him crazy. Or perhaps that was just the smell of Harry's soft, freshly-shampooed hair. Draco took in a deep breath. Ahh

"Malfoy…what the hell are you breathing so deeply for?"Harry was looking annoyed and quite a bit confused. Smooth Draco, real smooth. He's caught you being a stalker. Are you happy now? Draco ground his teeth in frustration. Stupid bloody voice. Stupid Bloody Harry.

Upon not getting an answer Harry rolled his eyes and said "Oh that's right, you're too important to talk to me. How could I be so stupid?" He said sarcastically, then looking back at the textbook he said "You really are pathetic, Malfoy." He shook his head and Draco felt a pang. He didn't want Harry to think he was pathetic.

He's always thought you were pathetic. And you've always felt the exact same way towards him. He's never going to like you, you know. Just give it up. The voice wasn't being unkind, in fact the tone was very gentle…and it was very true. Draco almost wanted to cry. The voice was right. Harry would never like him.

Draco glanced at the textbook. Might as well get going on this potion while he wallowed in self misery, Draco thought. Seeing that he needed diced caterpillars he reached for the knife. However it was at that exact moment (or perhaps a second later) that Harry had reached for it as well and Draco was now in a very sticky situation with his hand rested over Harry's. And at that very moment Draco's brain decided to stop and for some reason he wouldn't move his hand away. He just left it lying on top of Harry's.

Harry's hands were warm, but not in a sweaty way, in a toasted 'just-came-out-of-the-oven' way. It sent butterflies to the pit of Draco's stomach. He was busy memorizing the hand beneath his own when Harry pulled his hand away fast.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing Malfoy?" Harry whispered angrily. "Planning the best way to cut me with the knife were you? I'm trying very hard to accept the fact that we have to work on this stupid potion together but you're making it really hard. You are such an evil, heartless little ferret. Do not touch me. Ever again."

With that class ended, they were to continue working on the potion next class with the same partner. Harry stormed from the room, not even stopping to wait for Granger and Weasley.

Draco knew Harry's "heartless" comment was not true, because now he could feel a heart in his chest, as it was shattering. Breaking apart at the seams, pounding heavily, he could feel his heart lament over Harry. A lump formed in Draco's throat and he felt like he couldn't breathe. Well, sure, Harry had said some pretty rotten stuff before. And this time probably shouldn't feel so bad. But for some reason Draco had never been so hurt my Harry's words.

Meanwhile, Harry was running to Gryffindor Tower in a panic. He was panting heavily by the time he climbed through the portrait hole. He slumped into one of the cushy armchairs and thought over what had happened. Obviously Harry knew that he overreacted. Obviously he realized that Draco was not trying to cut him with the knife. But he had been alarmed and therefore said the first thing that came to his mind besides "Why, Malfoy, you're hands are so smooth and delicate," which for some reason is exactly what he had been thinking.

Harry was rather confused. After all, he hated Malfoy. Thinking of Malfoy just now was making him feel angry. He realized that the feelings he'd felt were just a reaction to teenage boy hormones that had been going unused for quite some time now.

Ugh Harry really had been feeling so alone lately. He wanted someone to love him for him. Well yes, Hermione and Ron did…but Harry wanted something else…something intimate. He let out a sigh, when Ron came bursting through the portrait hall, Hermione right at his tail.

"Did he do anything to you, mate? Because if he did, I swear I will…" Ron made a motion with his fist which Harry knew meant 'bash his brains in.' Harry really did have amazing friends. He smiled weakly.

"No it's alright Ron; I was just feeling a bit edgy and just his presence was bothering me. You know how he gets." Harry replied. Ron nodded in understanding and sat down across from Harry. Harry however noticed Hermione looking a little less then satisfied with his answer, but if she was thinking anything about it, she wasn't saying it.

The three sat into a comfortable conversation about classes and dinner and gossip they'd heard throughout the day. Shortly they were joined by Ginny, and then by Neville, Seamus and Dean. Harry completely forgot about Malfoy and was content just as he was.

FizzWizz: Okay so Malfoy is depressed, Harry is lonely, Ron is supportive, Hermione is suspicious, and Snape is as sadistic as ever. The voice is still relatively quiet…but just as obnoxious.

Draco: You make me out to seem like some bloody drama queen. My heart was most certainly not breaking. That's simply poetic license that you are using up there.

Harry: Yes and I was not feeling anywhere close to enjoying Malfoy's touch. I'm a teenage boy, its normal to want to be touched really. And I need a girlfriend. Do you think you could add that in FW?

FizzWizz: Why, what a wonderful idea Harry. I'll think about it.

Draco: What?! No! He doesn't need a girlfriend! I mean…isn't this supposed to be a Harry/Draco fic? Not a Harry/Everyone else who isn't Draco fic. Pairing him with a girl is just absolutely ridiculous!

FizzWizz: Hmm I quite like jealous!Draco… now that you mention it…oh Draco stop looking at me like that. Well chums, review please. Ta ta for now.
