Alright, dearies. Here is the next chapter. Hopefully I can get to the good stuff soon, please be patient. Once again, I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERS! If I did, the series would be more controversial than 50 Shades.
Draco led Harry through his house, staying silent as he thought about this new development. Perhaps the boy had asked to stay there so he could spy on them? But if that were true, why didn't he want Draco's parents to know? If he wanted to snoop around, surely he could find other ways to do it?
He paused just inside his suite. "Alright, there's a sofa in the other room, you can sleep there. Do you have anything to wear?" Harry nodded, looking confused. He looked even more so when Draco pointed to another door. "The bathroom is over there, you can change in there. Merlin's Pants, Potter. What's wrong now?"
Harry looked sheepish at being caught. "It's nothing… Just… Why did you let me stay here?"
Malfoy leveled his eyes at his rival, evaluating him. "Why did you ask me to?"
Harry looked around the room uneasily. "I-"
"It's alright. You don't wanna say, I get that. So let's make a deal. You don't ask me personal questions, and I won't ask you any. Got it?"
Harry nodded. his eyes slightly mistrustful as he collected his pajamas and moved towards the bathroom. When he emerged in dark green sweats and a black t-shirt that clung to his form and rode up slightly, teasing a view of tanned hips and read 'Metalica', he found that Draco was already in bed, sitting up and reading a textbook.
Draco noticed his new guest's lips quirked up in an almost-smile, instead of the seemingly perpetual scowl he'd had since he'd shown up. "Whats wrong?"
Jumping slightly, Harry's smile dropped. "Nothing, you just reminded me a bit of Hermione is all. She's the only other person I've ever seen who reads textbooks for fun." the boy's voice now seemed to be strained, and Draco noticed this, but decided to say nothing.
Instead, he raised his eyebrows. "I'd thank you not to compare me to Granger."
"Oh. Alright. Sorry. Anyways… Night." Harry shuffled off to the sofa in the other room, leaving Draco alone.
