Chapter 6
Harry didn't know what took over him but he was hugging Draco Malfoy! He was about to let go but Draco took his hand and, to his great surprise, hugged him back! Harry just couldn't stop smiling. He found his friend! He can finally have a friend! When he was with the Dursleys he never got to make friends and when he began living here there was no one he could be friends with so this was truly the best day of his life.
Harry was lying on his bed, recalling the events of the day. Draco was his friend! He still couldn't believe it. He was determined to make this friendship last forever. He slept with plans on his future as Draco's friend.
Harry was pulled from the depths of sleep as there was a tugging at his arm and he came face to face with a crying Draco. Why was his friend crying? No, his friend should never cry! He didn't know what to do so he gave Draco the tightest hug he's ever given anyone and he could feel Draco's tears dropping on his neck. Harry couldn't understand what was happening. What time was it?
"What's the matter, Draco?" Harry asked thoughtfully.
"Nothing." Draco mumbled.
"Then why're you crying?" Harry replied growing even more confused. If nothing was the matter then why was his friend crying? What happened? Draco simply shook his head and kept on silently crying.
The sunlight through the green curtains were shining so brightly that Harry had to wake up. He was at first surprised to find a sleeping Draco in his bed but soon the events last night flooded him. He still didn't understand what happened but seeing Draco sleeping peacefully was enough to comfort him. It was as though what happened last night never actually happened. Draco stirred, as though waking up, but simply cuddled closer to Harry. Harry has never felt so close with someone. It was such a good feeling to have a friend; such comfort and security was so great, Harry could just stay in that bed forever and never let go but he was hungry so forever ought to wait for a while. He debated in his head if he would wake Draco up to eat with him but seeing the utter calm as Draco slept was enough to make him choose not to wake the other boy. He carefully got off the bed and went downstairs.
Harry was finishing the last of his pancakes topped with blueberries when Draco appeared in the dining room, still in his pyjamas.
"Good morning!" Harry greeted, happily.
"Morning…" Draco replied, still sleepy. "Why'd you wake up so early?"
"Oh well the sun was in my eyes and well…you didn't need to get up yet. You could go back to sleep if you're still sleepy." Harry suggested.
"Nah, it grew cold when you left." Draco said, shrugging off Harry's suggestion and taking his seat, across Harry, waiting for Kreacher to bring his own plate of pancakes.
