Approaches that make you shiver

The next morning Draco woke up, vanished in the bathroom and soon went downstairs heading the breakfast table. He still was pretty tired since he wasn't used to getting up that early anymore. During holidays he would sleep at least till 11 in the morning therefore 7 o'clock indeed was early.

On his way to the breakfast table he passed some Slytherins who were looking at him in caginess, they obviously weren't happy about Draco's change of mind concerning the Gryffindor students.

When he reached the table he could feel all the angry stares on himself and he felt very uncomfortable. He tried not to let it show and sat down next to some student he doesn't talk that much to but as soon as he was standing next to the vacant seat a voice resounded. It was Grabbe's one… "So we're not good enough to sit with you in the train or to talk to you, but good enough to have breakfast with you?" he sounded quite pissed, well he indeed was.

Draco didn't know what to say. He hadn't thought about how his friends would react on him finding new ones. It was probably because his new friends were from their closest enemy.

Hermione who was watching the spectacle suddenly shouted: "Draco!"

He looked up into the direction where the sound came from and spotted Hermione. "You can sit with us." Draco was surprised of the call and glad at the same time. Now he wouldn't have to fight with the other Slytherins. He looked back at them a last time, seeing something weird in their eyes. Were they concerned about Draco's acting?

He didn't really care. Draco was ready to find some real friends who would turn their backs onto him just because of talking to other people.

"Hey guys! Thank you for letting me sit with you. They are…well they're kind of mad at me for talking to you." Draco said as he sat down next to Ron.

Hermione: "I'm sorry for that."

Draco – smiling at her: "No, you don't have to be."

After some time of eating, talking and laughing Draco heard Harry's voice behind him… "Sorry guys! Man I soo overslept." he recognized Draco "Oh, hey buddy. You sitting with us today?" he said as he sat down next to Ginny quite opposite of Draco.

"Yes…uhm…Hermione invited me too." Draco said, feeling a little bit uncomfortable having Harry's eyes upon him - Though he didn't know why.

"So we better go no, we don't want to miss next class, do we?" Hermione said after a while.

Ron – rolling his eyes: "Of course not…"

Everyone got up and they left the dinner hall.

Draco's first class was Potions with professor Snape. It was his favourite subject as he was quite good in it. As he walked down to the dungeons he met Harry.

Harry: "Hey mate. Uhm…do you wanna sit with me in Potions?"

Draco – quite surprised: "Of course I do! How come?"

Harry: "Well you know since Ron and Hermione are a couple they wanted to have the same classes. And Hermione's first class is Runes; she didn't want to change so surprise! Ron is having Runes now." He didn't seem very fond of that idea.

Draco: "Oh I'm sorry about that. But don't worry we can sit together. There won't be anyone else wanting to sit with me anymore anyways."

Harry – stops walking: "I'm really sorry about that. Your friends shouldn't let you down just because of talking to me. Maybe I shouldn't sit next to you…I don't want them to be mad at you, you know?"

Draco – with a surprised look on his face: "Oh please…don't be sorry. It's so unnecessary. I'm rather sitting with you anyways. They've never really been my friends. I feel like they were just talking to me because of my father. We never really talked about things friends do. To be honest…I always envied you and Ron and Hermione and so on for being and having real friends who always stand up for each other."

Harry – smiling: "I appreciate that. And thank you for sitting with me!"

They continued walking down the stairs to the dungeons. And they sat down in the third row together on a desk.

As Snape walked in he noticed the two boys sitting next to each other.

Snape: "Aah seems like the new school year already holds up some surprises for me. Do you think that's a good idea Malfoy?"

Draco – looking at him in surprise: "Why shouldn't it be?"

Snape – laughing shortly: "Mr. Potter here isn't quite what I would call a studious student. I hope he doesn't have a bad impact on you."

Harry – offended: "Excuse me?"

Draco – feeling the tension and held him back saying anything stupid by placing his hand onto his knee: "We both thought it would be a good idea since rather I would leave a good impact on him. Don't you think so too, Professor Snape?"

Snape – looking at them mistrustfully: "Hmm interesting point of view. Well I just want you to know that when this gets out of control I want to reserve my right of changing the seating arrangements. I don't want to lose one of my best students." Then he walked away from them in order to start class.

Draco still had his hand on Harry's knee. While Draco was talking to Snape the moment before Harry would stare onto Draco's hand. They've never been that close before. His touch was giving him goose bumps and he developed a feeling he couldn't classify.

Draco eventually removed his hand and Harry felt the cool air replacing his warm hand. He shivered.
"Everything alright?" Draco whispered.

Harry – looking him in the eye slightly from aside: "Yes…it's just cold in here."

As Potions class was over Harry and Draco walked up the stairs together heading there next class.

Harry: "Oh my we've got some much damn homework."

Draco: "I know. It sucks…what is he thinking? It's still our first day of school. But anyways it's not that difficult."

Harry: "Seriously? I didn't understand it at all. I've no plan how I'm gonna make it."

Draco: "Shall I help you? I'll explain it to you. You'll see it's not that hard…Snape just can't explain it right."

Harry: "Oh alright awesome."

Draco: "So do you have time tonight?"

Harry: "Sorry no, I'm meeting up with Ginny you know." he smiled at him mischievously.

Draco: "Oh okay so tomorrow night I guess."

Harry: "Yes that's fine with me!"

After a small pause…

Draco: "So you and Ginny are a couple?"

Harry – laughing: "Oh no…not like officially. We're dating and stuff but she wants to wait for some reason and ya dunno."

A few steps later they met up with Ron and Hermione.

Ron: "Hey! Good to see you…Runes was…erm…awesome."

Hermione – looking at Ron with anger in her eyes: "Ron…"

Ron: "Sorry hon…so how was Potions?"

Harry: "Good. Snape doesn't like the fact that I'm sitting next to Draco."

Ron - chuckling: "Interesting…good job Draco. Everything Snape doesn't like is a good thing."

Draco – laughing out loud: "Alright, I'll keep that in mind."

They day passed quite quickly and soon Draco was lying on his bed. It was already pitch black outside, raindrops dashing against the window. He was thinking about the day that had passed. He was thinking about Harry.

'He's probably with Ginny right now. What does he see in that girl? I don't get it. I mean she seems to be quite nice but I don't know. She's not that pretty. She might be cute but that's it. Harry deserves something better though. Someone more…dunno. Argh…why does it even bother me? I shouldn't be interested in who he's dating. It's still his decision.'

He kept thinking a while about it…eventually he fell asleep.
