\'Blah\' Draco\'s Thoughts.

On with the show....

Malfoy’s Can Fall in Love!

The next morning was pretty much like the day before. I woke up from yet another wonderful dream about Harry. I couldn’t wait to spend the afternoon with him.

I didn’t know why I had this fascination with Potter. I just thought he’s the most sexy, adorable, handsome person I have ever laid eyes on. Man this crush was getting a little out of hand. If wasn’t careful I could just fall in love with him, which will never happen I assured myself.

\'I better get up,\' I thought. So I got up walked to the bathroom, took a shower, dried off, walked into my room and over to my closet. Picking out a pair of dark blue trousers, putting on a white shirt with care, I put my school robes on over them. Then I looked in the mirror to check if my hair was good. Perfect. I grabbed my cloak and school bag making my way to the Great Hall for breakfast. I’m somehow really hungry this morning.

Walking into the Great Hall, glimpsing over to the Gryffindor table, I saw that Potter was not at breakfast yet. I walked to the Slytherin table and took a seat next to Blaise. Immediately I began to pile on some eggs, bacon, sausage and toast on my plate then dug in.

“Hey man slow down, you’re going to choke if you don’t.” Blaise said.

“Leave me alone Blaise and just let me eat my breakfast.” I snapped.

“Well good morning to you too,” he said. “Anyway what classes do we have today?” he asked.

I growled. \'Damn people interrupting my breakfast.\' “Well you could look on you own schedule, you know? But I know we have Herbology first, then Transfiguration and then double Care of Magical Creatures. After lunch, we have charms and double History of Magic. Oh, and I get to spend the afternoon with Potter today.” I said smugly.

Blasie smiled. “Oh really, and how did you manage to do that? Potter wouldn’t willingly spend time with you.”

“We have to work on our essay for Professor Snape, so I suggested we look up the information we need in the library and he agreed.” I grinned.

“Well done Draco. I do hope you take this advantage and ask him to help, just suck up your pride and ask for it. He’ll be able to help you with the whole Death Eater business.”

“I know. I know. Don’t rush me. I’ll do my best. I hope he’ll help me though.”

“He will.” Blaise said.

We finished our breakfast in silence. I was lost in thought. Could Potter really help me? Would he help me? Would he believe that I don’t want to be a Death Eater? What if he found out I liked him? He would probably laugh; thinking it’s hilarious. I wondered if he would ever like me. I didn’t even know if he was gay.

“Hey Draco let’s go to class, breakfast is over.” I heard Blaise say.

“Yeah okay Blaise, let’s go.”

***

Well to say the least, my classes were rather eventful that day. First in Transfiguration, Longbottom turned his cup into a rat instead of a cat. All the girls started screaming, jumping on top of their tables. It was rather funny I must say. Magical Creatures was a hoot. The big oaf introduced us to these little creatures called ‘Huggers’ Pansy wasn’t careful enough and the one that she had out of its cage climbed up into her hair. She want ballistic and wow that woman can scream like a banshee! It was hilarious.

It was 4:20 when I made my way to my room. I took off my school robes and went into the bathroom to freshen up a bit. I came back into the room, grabbed my Potions book, stuffed it into my school bag, grabbed my cloak, then took one last look in the mirror to look at my hair. It was perfect as always so I made my way to the common room where I met Pansy and Blaise.

“Oh Draky, it really must be horrible to have to spend time with Potter,” she commented. “I really hope he doesn’t give you a hard time and if he does I know just the thing that will make you feel better,” she winked at me. \'Ugh doesn’t this woman ever give up!\'

“I’ll be fine Pansy. I’ll see you two at dinner.” Blaise came close to me and whispered “Good luck.” I gave him a smile, waved goodbye and made my way to the library.

When I got there, I looked around to see if Potter was already here. He was not. I picked out a table to work. I sat down and took out my books. About this time Potter arrived.

“Hey Malfoy” he greeted, taking a seat.

“Hi Potter.” I looked at him. He looks upset and defeated. I wondered what was up with him.

“Let’s get this over with alright? I’m not in the mood today,” he said.

“Sure Potter. I’ll go look for some book with information about Veritaserum. You see if you can find something in our Potions book.”

I stood up and made my way to the book shelves. There were a lot more books then I thought there were. I grabbed as much as I could carry and walked back to the table. I dumped the books on the table, startling him in the process.

“Geez Malfoy, don’t do that. You almost gave me a heart attack.”

“Sorry Potter,” I said not really thinking about what I said and sat down. He stared at me dumbly.

“Malfoy, did you just apologize to me?” \'Oops had I really just apologized? Damn I did. Well I couldn’t take it back.\'

“Yes, I did Potter and your point?”

“Well I never thought I’d see the day when you would apologize to me.” he said.

“Yeah, well, don’t get used to it because it won’t happen again.”

We resumed reading. Until I noticed that Potter has been reading the same page for the last ten minutes; I wondered what he was thinking about.

“Earth to Potter, you’ve been staring at the same page for the last ten minutes or so. Is something wrong?” I asked before I could even stop myself.

Potter looked up from his book and sighed. “I just have a lot on my mind today Malfoy. Why do you care anyway?” he asked.

I know I’m supposed to say I don’t, but I do. I wanted to be his friend. I wanted him to like me.

“I don’t know, you just seem upset about something and I thought I could help.” \'Damn had that just come out of my mouth? I was acting like a damn Gryffindor.\' Potter just stared at me dumbfounded.

“Okay, who are you and what have you done with Malfoy? First you apologized to me, okay that I can handle, but now you want to help me. What are you playing at?”

\'Okay, here went nothing.\' “Look Potter as much as you think I hate you. I don’t, far from it. You don’t know me. You know the cold, arrogant, spoiled brat Malfoy, but that’s not who I am. It’s just a façade. I have to be like that because my father says so, but I’m not like that at all.” Yeah, just keep talking Malfoy. Go on make more of fool out of yourself. He stared at me curiously.

“Really Malfoy, how do I know that I can trust you? You’ve never given me a reason to. For all I know this could be some elaborate plan, so you can hand me over to the Voldemort. For that matter, you could already be a Death Eater.” \'Oh the nerve.\'

“I am not.” I said a little louder then I meant to, “I am not a Death Eater, not yet anyway and I don’t want to be. My father said I’m going to get the Dark Mark over Christmas holiday’s, but I don’t want to it. You have to believe me; you have no idea what I’ve been through this summer, it was horrible. V-Voldemort was horrible, I will never bow down to that psycho half-blood, and I bow to no one.”

I almost wanted to cry. He had to believe me. If he didn’t, I wouldn’t know what else to do. He looked at me for a while; straight in my eyes. I dropped all my walls, making myself totally vulnerable, I letting him see that I was telling him the truth.

“Okay Malfoy I believe you, I don’t know why but I do. You better not be lying to me,” he said. “I think I may be able to help you, but you have to go Dumbledore. He’ll protect you from your father.”

“Thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me.” I said then added. “Can I call you Harry now?” I asked shyly. God I was turning into a fucking girl, get a hold of yourself Malfoy.

He smiled. “Sure if I can call you Draco.”

“Sure. Okay, now let’s what we find out about Veritaserum, shall we? We have a lot of books to look through.” I said.

The rest of the afternoon went really well. We got almost all of the work done, talking about anything and everything. He was really easy to talk to. It just made me like him more and more.

“Well Harry, I think we better call it a day. I have to go to dinner. This afternoon was really great. Why don’t we meet back here on Thursday, say around 4:30; so we can finish our essay?” I asked.

“Okay Draco, that sounds good to me. I must say I like this Draco a lot more then the other Draco. Why don’t you act like this normally?”

“I can’t. My father won’t allow it. I have to keep up this cold façade. It’s what I’ve been taught to do since I was little. I can’t act differently. The Draco you’ve known for the last 6 years is not the real Draco.”

“Well, I really like this Draco and I’m really looking forward to getting to know this side of you a lot better. Well anyway, I have to go to dinner as do you. I’ll see you on Thursday Draco,” he said. He got up and left the library.

I sat there for a few minutes, thinking about the afternoon. It went really well. All of a sudden I was really happy, and I felt like everything was going to be alright. ‘I really hope so,’ I thought. I put my books in my bag, stood up and made my way to the Great Hall for dinner.

***

Well, it had been two month since that day in the library and these two months have been the best. Harry and I have really gotten to know each other pretty well. We meet up even more and more these days. Sometimes we don’t even do potions; which is going great by the way. Snape couldn’t believe we made the potion right on the first try and we didn’t even fight with each other. His look was priceless.

I think I know pretty much everything about him. He told me that he hates living with his aunt and uncle; they treat him like he doesn’t exist. When he told me that he lived in a cupboard under the stairs for the first 10 years of his life, I couldn’t believe it! Who would do that to a child? He hates being famous, for something he really didn’t do; in fact he doesn’t even like all the attention.

Oh, and he told me about his godfather Sirius Black. I still remember that day clearly. He watched his godfather die, He told me that it was all his fault and that everyone he loves dies. All I could do was hold him; it took hours for him to stop crying. He actually cried in front of me. I swear If I ever get my hand on Aunt Bellatrix, I will kill her myself.

He also told me a nice little tidbit, which might come in handy. Remember the day in the library when I asked him why he was upset? Well it turns out he had just told his friends, Granger and Weasel, that he was gay. Yep, he’s gay! So I might have a chance after all. Well, Weasley didn’t take it to well, he was totally disgusted, but Granger was completely supportive. So now Weasley isn’t speaking to him, some friend he is!

In return, I told him about how I really feel about my father. I told him about my summer, and about the little girl I killed; something I had not told anyone, not even Blaise. He knows now, I never wanted to kill again, unless it was Voldemort himself. I told him why I didn’t want to be a Death Eater. Well, one reason at least. We can’t have him know that I’ve fallen in love him and that I would do anything to protect him. Yes, I said love. I know I told you it would never happen, but I just did. The more time I spend with him, the more amazing I think he is! I know I sound like a bloody girl, but one does strange things when one is in love.

Ha! Can you believe it a Malfoy in love? Who knew!
