Dreams Can Come True
When Harry made it to the Leaky Cauldron, Tom was behind the counter talking to some costumers. When he looked up, he greeted Harry and showed him his usual room. Once Harry was settled, he made his way back downstairs to get a little something to eat, then make it out to Diagon Alley. The whole ten minutes he was eating every eye, except Tom, was looking at him. Some were glares, others awed and some just pure curiosity. He hated every minute of it. He was so grateful when he could get out of there and to Diagon Alley, where at least there were more people to hide in between and hopefully not be seen. His hopes, once again, went unanswered.
When he made it to Madame Malkins, he hadn't had anyone look at him once, it might of been because he kept his head down and covered his scar with his hair, but he didn't care. Once he got in there, it was a different thing. There standing in the middle of the store were the Weasley's and the Malfoy's, he had no clue how he was going to go unnoticed, until they started fighting, of course the Malfoy's said something offensive.
"Shut the bloody hell up Malfoy! At least my family isn't Death Eater infested, like yours." Yelled Ron.
"Weasel, I don't have the time or the care to fight with your type. Real Pureblood's don't start fights in public like street scoundrels." Replied the youngest Malfoy, turning away from them. Harry thought he was safe until...
"Harry what can I do for you today?" said Madame Malkin, cheerfully, and loudly, making everyone turn toward him. Harry was so nervous he could barely speak. He didn't know if the Weasley's hated him or not and he knew the Malfoy's didn't, so all he did was ignore both parties.
"Um...I was wondering if I could get new robes, Madame, for this year?" Harry said trying to sound normal, and not sneak a look at the Weasleys to see if they were glaring or not.
"Sure thing dear, just follow me to the back and we'll get you fitted." Harry followed her back, sneaking one look back, and what he saw surprised him. Mrs. Weasley was glaring at him, while Mr.Weasley just sort of stared. Ginny just gave him a half smile, while giving her mother a glare or two, and Ron who gave him an apologetic smile, also giving his mum a few glares. What surprised him most was that the Malfoys were just staring at him and the Weasleys curiously. He didn't know why, but he didn't mind, better than glares.
When he was done and came out from the back they were all still there, but on different sides of the room, glaring at each other. When he came out all eyes turned to him, he decided that since Ron and Ginny weren't glaring he'd say hello.
"Hey Ginny, Ron how were your summers?" he asked.
"Fi-." Tried Ron but his mother cut him off.
"Don't speak to my children! I don't want you ever talking to them again! I knew I shouldn't have let them be friends with you, all you ever did was try to kill them! You are an evil boy, an evil, evil boy!" Mrs.Weasley yelled at Harry.
"Mum, he didn't try to kill us, he saved u-."Tried Ron, again, but was cut off.
"Don't talk back to me Ronald! I don't want you to ever talk to him again, you to Ginny." And with that said she walked out of the store with her husband right behind her. Harry tried to keep the tears in, he didn't know what had got into her, but there was one part of him that thought she was right.
"Don't listen to her Harry. She's gone ballistic lately. I can't believe she actually believes in those stupid papers." Ron said, patting Harry on the back, right where one of his bruises were, he couldn't help but wince. He hoped Ron didn't see it.
"Yeah Harry, don't worry we've got your back." Ginny said, trying to lighten the mood, until her mother screamed for them to leave. They each tried to give reassuring smiles. Harry just stood there, he couldn't believe the friends he had, maybe he did have some people who still loved him. With that thought he turned and left to get the rest of his supply.
Draco had watched the whole interaction with his father, and he couldn't believe that that women had said that to Harry. Even he knew those articles weren't true. When he was watching the whole thing, he suddenly felt the urge to punch Mrs.Weasley, and he didn't know why. Then when Ron patted Harry on the back, he felt a sudden jolt of jealousy. He also noticed that when he did touch his back he saw him wince, as if in pain. Draco didn't know what was happening but he was extremely confused at the end.
XxxxxxxXxxxxxxXxxxxxX
When Harry was finished for the day, he wanted to scream. Everybody was staring or glaring at him the whole time. Some even looked scared. He really wanted to read the paper now, what the hell could have been said that had everyone reacting this way. All he wanted now was to go back to his room and stay there until September 1st. Tom greeted him when he came back in and put a cup of tea out for him. He thanked him and gratefully drank his tea. He didn't notice when someone took the seat next to, until they spoke.
"Hello Potter." Greeted the youngest Malfoy. Harry almost spilled his tea everywhere when he saw who it was. What was Malfoy doing talking to him?
"U-um hello Malfoy." He replied, uncertain of the blondes intentions.
"Quite a show today, don't you think?" Malfoy asked, not looking away from his own tea. 'So here to make fun of me.'
"Look Malfoy, I'm not in the mood to play your games, OK. Just leave me alone." Harry said tiredly, making to get up until his arm was grabbed. A shock went through him that made Draco drop his arm. When he looked back at him he didn't know if felt it to, his mask was in place.
"Har-Potter I know that we started off on the wrong foot but, I was wondering if we could start over. I know you think my families dark but, we're not." Malfoy said looking Harry in the eyes. He didn't why but he knew those eyes from somewhere. Harry couldn't speak. Did Malfoy really want to start over? And what did he mean his isn't dark why would care what he thought. Harry was confused, but maybe this would be good. He sure as hell could have a break from all the fighting.
"Um sure, I guess. I could do without fighting this year." Harry replied. He was surprised when Malfoy actually gave his a half smile and stuck his hand out.
"Hello, I'm Draco Malfoy." He said.
"Nice to meet you, Draco Malfoy. I'm Harry Potter." Harry couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know if was hearing things, but he could have sworn he heard Draco chuckle a little.
"Well, Harry I must be going, maybe I'll see you on the train." And with that he swept out of the building, leaving a slightly stunned Harry behind him.
That night both dreamt of the same thing, green eyes for one, grey eyes for the other.
XxxxxxxxXXxxxxxxXX
The train station was buzzing with sounds of goodbyes and laughter as friends reunited with each other, and quick 'Be good's' and 'Don't get into trouble's' as kids got onto the train. Harry stood there in the back looking at all the happy families, he could only wish for something like that. Once he made it on the train he decided to find himself an empty compartment in the back so no one could disturb him. When he was settled and had his new DADA book out and opened he lost himself in thought.
He had the dream again. Except lately, ever since he visited Diagon Alley, he'd been having even stronger deja vu. He just knew he knows the person in the dreams and he got to see a little more of him, down to just right at his nose. He couldn't help but think he was the most beautiful human he's ever seen. He just wished he could remember where he's seen him. Harry was so lost in his thoughts he didn't hear the compartment door open and close, or notice when that person sat right across from him.
Draco had been looking all over the train for Harry. He really wanted to talk to him some. He didn't know why but he felt drawn to him. He seemed interesting, and figured he might as well get to know a fellow ally. So when he finally found him in one of the last compartments, he was surprised to see him alone, and not sitting with his other friends, Weasel and mudblood. He looked in deep thought so he quietly opened the door and sat down across from him. He took the time he had till he noticed him to study him.
He noticed that his hair had gotten longer over the summer and had lost some of its messiness. His face seemed to have become more pointed and manly, than the boyish way it was last year. It also seemed sort sunken in some, and his looked haunted and sad and an infinite sadness was settled in. His body looked extremely pale and too skinny if you asked him. His clothes didn't help either, they looked about ten times too big for him. He couldn't help but wonder what happened to him. He always thought he was treated like a little prince for who he was. Maybe he had been wrong all along. Finally thinking it had been too long he cleared his throat to get his attention.
Harry jumped at the sound he had no clue someone in here with until he heard someone clear their throats. When he looked across from him was surprised to see Draco Malfoy sitting there looking amused at his reaction.
"Malfoy, what are you doing here?" Harry asked, surprised by the slytherins actions.
"I told you I would see you on the train, and so here I am. That's not bad, is it?" Draco asked, smirking a little.
"No, I guess not. I was just a little surprised your friends weren't with you." Harry replied.
"I could say the same thing about you. I haven't seen your friends with you."
"You saw want Ron's mother thinks of me, I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of them think the same. It's not like I blame them." He said that last part more to himself, but Draco heard it.
"If anyone actually believe those stupid articles, there just as stupid as the ones, who wrote them." Draco said, a dark look on his face.
"I guess, but I can't change their minds on how they see me. I don't hate the people who want to stay away from me. I would want to stay away from me too." Harry said with a chuckle trying to seem as if he was only joking. By the look on Draco's face, he could tell he could see through it. Draco could see he meant it but decided to change the subject.
"So did you have a nice summer?" Draco asked instead.
Harry gave a dark chuckle at that. If you call getting beaten for no reason at all a nice summer, then yeah he had a wonderful summer. He could see Malfoy giving him a weird look so he answered him, trying to sound normal.
"It was OK, nothing new happened at least." Harry tried sounding nonchalance about it. "And how was yours?" he asked to get the questions of him.
"Fine, I guess. Nothing too important happened." Draco replied. He was a little distracted by how harry replied to his question. Something must have happened and he an idea what it was, but wasn't going to say anything until talked to his father about it first. They sat in silence for a while until there was a knock on the door. It opened and revealed four slytherins behind it. Harry thought he knew them. There was Pansy Parkinson, Crabbe and Goyle, a kid he thought his name was Blaize, and another he only heard the name of a couple times, Theo. They all walked and were a little surprised to Harry there sitting with the Prince of Slytherin and they weren't fighting. Draco greeted them and then that started a conversation among all five of them and Harry was gladly left to his thoughts about how weird things were. Here he was sitting in the same compartment as the slytherins he'd come to hate and despise, and just a few minutes ago he was having a civil conversation with Draco Malfoy. Things were sure as hell going to be different this year.
