Authors Note: Sorry it took so long, I just got settled back from vacation. We ended up staying longer than planned, which really hurts this story saying that I start school next week. So here's chapter 6 of Life as We Know It.

Previously on Life As We Know It...

Draco then led them to a large room filled with toys and to Harry's confusion brooms?

"Well Idiot, here's fun." Draco said with an actual grin on his face, replacing his usual evil smirk.

"Wow!" Harry exclaimed. He was just starting to think that maybe running away had its benefits.

Present

Harry stepped into the room, admiring all the strange toys that he saw. He didn't notice any toys that Dudley owned in the room, instead the toys were way better than Dudley's. Looking down at a teddy bear, he saw that it wasn't just a normal Teddy Bear; it was actually moving on its own! Then he saw what looked like a mini arena that had little people flying on brooms in one corner. He also saw life size knights actually dueling each other!

"Are you just going to stand there gapping Idiot, or are you going to play?" Draco asked, interrupting his thoughts.

"Oh, umm. I was just trying to decide what to play with first." Harry replied in a lame attempt to keep from looking like an idiot.

Sighing he went over to where Draco was seated, watching him putting some gear on. Harry thought that as long as he stayed with Draco he wouldn't blow his cover, and make a fool of himself since he had no clue how to play with any of these toys.

"You gonna fly to?" Draco asked looking up from putting something that looked like shoulder pads on.

"Fly?" Harry asked, "On what?"

"A broom Idiot! What do you think were gonna fly on? A bear?" Draco then started laughing like a maniac, "Sheesh Idiot! You're stupider than stupid. When were you born, yesterday?" He joked while laughing so hard that he was starting to turn red.

At this moment Harry wanted nothing more than to slap that smile off of Draco's face. He really hated Draco, he was such a jerk.

"Well, my parents don't let me fly, they think it's dangerous." Harry replied in another lame attempt to protect his rep.

"Well your parents aren't here are they." Draco said slyly after calming down from his laughing fit.

"No. But…" Harry started, he really did want to fly, but he wasn't sure if flying on a broom was exactly a safe and bright idea for a kid who just found out about magic today. But like any 8 year old kid, his curiosity got the best of him. "Yea, you're right, they aren't here. Besides what could possibly go wrong."

"That's the spirit!" Draco said with a smirk on his face "You're going to have to ride without armor, I only have one set of armor, and that's for me. You can also have my old broom, it doesn't go as fast as my new one, but it'll do."

Draco then took off and pointed at a chest on the other side of the room, "You can find the broomstick in there." With that said he started zooming around the huge room.

Harry walked over to the cabinet and looked inside for the broom Draco was talking about, finding it he studied it nervously. He didn't know how to fly the thing, did he have to say something special to get it to take off? Would it even fly for him? Harry was worried, what if something really bad did happen to him after he started riding? Harry shook away that thought, thinking if a jerk like Draco could ride it, he could too.

Letting out a determined sigh, Harry put a leg around the broom and grasped the top of the broom with all his might and gave a small jump.

Harry gasped, he was flying! Well, kind of. He was more like hovering, his feet were just barely hitting the ground.

"Common Idiot! Let's play 'try and knock the other person off the broom,' and don't ask me how to play cause I just said it." Said Draco.

Harry looked up at Draco in excitement. This game was just the thing he wanted to do. He finally had the chance to show Draco that he wasn't an idiot and get him back for being such a jerk.

"Alright Draco, but here's the deal. If I win, you have stop calling me Idiot. If I lose and you win, you get to call me idiot forever." Harry said smiling, there was no way he could lose Harry thought, and there was no way he would lose.

Draco gave him an evil grin, "Alright Idiot! I take you up on your bet, but also if I win I get to watch you battle my knight over there, and trust me he's made to always win."

Harry narrowed his eyes and gave his own evil grin, "Sure Draco, but I won't lose."

With that said, Harry pushed off harder from the ground and started leaning forward on his broom like he watched Draco do. Harry let out a whoop. He couldn't believe it, a day ago he was in his cupboard counting the spiders, but now he was actually flying!

He then pulled back and came to a stop right in front of Draco.

"Ready to play?" Harry asked determined.

"Of course, you ready to lose?" Draco asked smugly.

"You wish." Harry said then abruptly lent forward going right for Draco.

Draco wasn't prepared for this but managed to dive Harry just before getting hit.

Then Harry swerved around and came like a bullet at Draco again. Draco was prepared this time though and moved right real quick and stuck out his left leg, kicking Harry in the face.

"Oww!" Harry screamed in pain. Harry knew he had to get a new tactic to get Draco off of that broom.

"Sorry, Idiot. Did that hurt you?" Draco asked sarcastically.

Harry just glared at Draco, not even bothering to answer his remark.

Harry then had an idea, he had the perfect way to get Draco off of his broom. Grinning Harry then started his plan. Making a dive to the ground he picked up the Teddy Bear, then he dived at Draco again, this time purposely missing. Harry then came up from behind Draco and put the bear on Draco's face.

"Hug!" Harry commanded.

The bear then started to hug Draco's face. Draco panicked and let go of his broomstick trying to get the bear to stop smothering his face, then Harry simply pushed Draco off the broomstick.

"Yes!" Harry said, letting out a triumphant laugh.

Draco finally managed to get the bear off of his face, then glared up at Harry.

"That's not fair you idiot! I never said you could use other things to knock the person off the broom."

Harry just shrugged, "You never said I couldn't and also the name's Aaron."

AN- Hope it was long enough, it's about 3 pages in Microsoft Word, so I'm guessing it is. But anyways, sorry if this isn't finished before I start school. And I promise there will be Snape in the next chapter! Also thanks for reviewing, it keeps this story going (really does!).
