Chapter 5 – What's Going Through Your Head?
In conjunction with the chill in the dungeons and the stern pacing in front of them, Harry knew that there was something wrong and he really didn't want to be there. Draco, however, seemed very comfortablein his seat, apart from the fact that his hair was now considerably darker than he was used to. Well, more than considerably, it was black; the complete opposite to his natural state. His body language said 'what's the problem?' but his face, hidden from view of Harry, said 'this is a huge problem'.
"Professor," Draco finally said. "Professor Snape?"
"Professor, what's happening?" Harry asked.
"That's what I'd like to know." Snape begun, seemingly talking as though Harry and Draco weren't even there. "I checked your potions, they were near perfect. You followed the potions instructions, correct?" Both boys nodded, "You drank your potions at the same time as the rest of the class and in the same conditions, correct?" They nodded again, "And you both thought of a hair colour, correct?"
Both boys were suddenly immobile and silent. They both knew the answer to this and hoped that Snape wouldn't work it out. This uncomfortable silence was kept until Draco couldn't take anymore.
"Well, obviously." He said, tugging at his raven hair.
"Hmmm. Potter, do you agree?" Snape said with doubt still looming over every word.
"Yeah, Blondie. Haven't said much, have you?" Draco butted in as Harry begun to open his mouth.
He looked up, through his hair, which was considerably easier as it may well have been cling film. "Er… yeah, Sir, unless you think that I have always been blonde."
This comment received a chuckle from Draco and a sharp turn, followed by a sneer, from Snape.
"You think you're funny, Potter?!" Snape growled before returning to his bubble. "It was a hair colour changing potion; there haven't been any cases like this."
Snape faded from his thoughts and walked over to his book case. He ran his finger slowly along the spines of books until he grasped the book he had been looking for. It was very old and thick. It looked like it had been eaten away by pixies. Neither of the boys could see the title but knew that the book in their professor's hand was not going to help their reputations. Snape flipped through the pages until it seemed as though he had found the page that he was looking for and a smirk brushed across his face.
"You weren't thinking about hair colour, were you?"
Harry and Draco turned to face each other, both knowing where Snape was going and knowing that he was going to be correct.
"Well, erm, what else could we have been thinking about?" Harry asked.
"You know exactly what. You were thinking about each other." Snape said as-matter-of-factly.
"Um… Get your facts straight, sir. Why would I ever be thinking about Malfoy of my own accord?"
"Well, I'll admit to it. I was thinking about Potter." He glanced to Harry and scowled, "About how annoying he is." He begun to laugh to himself but after a while, realised that he was still alone and came to a steady, awkward halt.
"Thank you, Mr Malfoy, for that enlightening story. No matter how believable that would be to the rest of the class, I know that it is a downright lie."
"A lie!? How could that be a lie? How could you tell?" Draco exclaimed as Harry begun chuckling to himself.
"As a matter of fact, I have pretty good evidence to prove you wrong." As he said this, Snape saw Draco's expression drop. "In 1937, a similar case occurred in Switzerland. Hanz Von Kewell and Jeremy Strauss brewed the same potion that you have done. Unknown to everyone else, they were engaging in an explicit relationship," Harry and Draco glanced at each other with raised eyebrows. "As they consumed the potion, they were not thinking of a hair colour, but of each other and how much they cared…"
"Hang on, you're mad! This can't be the same. We don't like each other. Everyone knows that!" Draco blurted, cutting Snape off mid-sentence.
"Yeah, I mean, you're trying to say that we were thinking nice things about each other." Harry said in conjunction with Draco's comment.
"As a matter of fact, that's exactly what I'm saying." Snape replied. Seeing Draco and Harry's eyes widen, he added, "Not romantic thoughts, but friendly feelings."
"Honestly, Professor, you're delusional. Me? Nice!" Draco retorted.
"You're right, Professor." Harry said suddenly.
"What!!"
"I was thinking about, erm, what it would've been like if I had said yes to being Draco's friend."
"Oh, really?" Snape asked with obvious suspicion.
"Yes. I thought of all the good times we could've had. I always wondered what it would feel like after pushing somebody around."
"Isn't that a little dark for you Potter?" Draco said in a way that would make you think that he was disturbed but the comment.
"Well, yes, but, erm, I've been feeling dark recently."
Harry then proceeded to look to Draco and give him an I-Am-Only-Lying-So-We-Can-Get-Out-Of-Here-Unharmed look.
"What about you, Mr Malfoy, Have you been feeling particularly light these days?" Snape said, revelling in the irony of the situation.
"No." Draco blurted out. He turned to face Harry and upon seeing his face, knew what he needed to do. "but I have been thinking about Pot-Harry. I was admiring his, erm, Harry's, erm, Quidditch skills."
"Okay… Well, now that you have both admitted something, I suggest you go. We have wasted so much time here that it is almost lunch time. Away with you both."
Draco and Harry got up from their seats and rushed from the office as fast as they could, avoiding Snape's gaze.
