A/N: Chapter 6! :V
Chapter 6
Harry sat there long after Draco had gone. And he wondered.
Madam Pomfrey had been kind enough to dismiss the matter, but Harry couldn't help but wonder two things: why had Draco kissed him, and why did he suddenly feel the urge to kiss Draco back?

As soon as Harry was out of the Hospital Wing, he went looking for Draco. He caught up with him in the halls.
"Draco, mind if I have a word?" he asked.
Draco looked at him. "'Bout what? There's nothing we need to discuss!"
"Yes there is and you bloody well know it!" Harry growled.
"I know what you wanna say. It's fine really. I completely understand that you hate me."
"Why are you assuming the worst? I haven't even said anything yet!"
"No, but you were going to!" Draco snapped angrily, "Don't think I don't know what you were going to say, Potter! I already know and I don't want to hear it!"
"But I wasn't-"
"Stop it, just STOP IT!" Draco looked down. I will not cry. he thought. He will not see me cry. I will not cry...
Harry huffed. "I was gonna tell you how confused I was, not that I hated you. Because I don't, Draco! ALLRIGHT? I DON'T! BUT IF YOU WANNA KEEP PUSHING ME AWAY AND ACTING LIKE A COMPLETE GIT, THAT'S JUST FINE! COME BACK AND TALK TO ME WHEN YOU'RE DONE BEING A PRICK!" and then, Harry was gone.
Draco sobbed. Why didn't anyone understand him? Before he knew it, he found himself outside Severus's rooms.
"Sev?" he called, walking in.
"What's happened to you this time? Hmm? Is it your father?"
"No, it's Harry. He-he called me a prick and left!"
"Wait, what?" Sev looked at him.
Draco explained about the argument they had in the hallway. When he'd finished, Severus sighed.
"Much as I hate to admit it, Mister Potter is quite correct. You never listen, Draco. You simply assume."
"I suppose I get that from my father," Draco said quietly.
"Oh yes, your father. It always goes back to him doesn't it? By the way, any news?"
"No," Draco lied.
"I know you're lying, Draco. Tell me," Severus said.
"No."
"Draco-"
"I said no!"
"Draconis Malfoy!"
"ALLRIGHT FINE! This summer I'm becoming a Death Eater! There! Happy?"
Severus's face paled. "You're becoming a Death Eater? Why didn't you tell me this sooner?"
"Because I knew you'd go mad about it allright?"
"Draconis Malfoy! My job is to watch over you and make sure you're safe! How am I supposed to do that when you're not telling me what goes on in your life?"
"I'M SORRY ALLRIGHT? STOP BLAMING ME FOR EVERYTHING!" Draco screamed, and then, tears in his eyes, he ran out slamming the dungeon door behind him.
"Perhaps I was a bit too hard on him," Severus sighed, and went back to grading papers.
