---------------
It had been three days since Harry told Draco that he couldn’t win in the end, and Harry was a nervous wreck. He KNEW Draco was planning to do something; he just couldn’t put his finger on what it was.
“BUGGERATION! Why can’t he just come out and do what he plans on doing!?!” Harry yelled at the wall of the room of requirement. The clock on the wall showed him he had to get to Potions. He picked up his bag and headed out of his hiding space. As he came down to the main level, he was met by a crowd of people. He spotted Ron and walked over to the red head.
“Ron what’s going on?” He asked. Ron looked at him.
“Malfoy’s looking for his Owl Buddy. Apparently the bloke doesn’t want Malfoy to know who he his. Ron handed Harry a piece of paper. Harry looked down at the piece of paper and gasped.
//No fucking way. He wouldn’t dare!// Harry thought. The piece of paper had a picture of Harry’s mask on it plus this caption: ‘Did you spend a magical night with Draco Malfoy only to run away the next morning?
Are you the mysterious Owl Buddy to the Slytherin Sex God?
Do you have an identity complex and is that why you’re hiding?
If any of these apply to you contact Blaise or Theo in the Great Hall by way of owl.
We shall meet in the courtyard after dinner to see if the mask fits you.
JOIN US!’
//I’m gonna kill him!// Harry thought.
-----
“I’m gonna kill you!” Draco yelled at Theo when he caught his classmate passing out the flyers before potions. “Not only did you write this without consulting me but you make me out to be the bitch! Like I’m crying because he ran away. I DO NOT CRY!” Draco said when Blaise gave him the ‘You’ve got to be bullshitting me’ look.
“Look, Draco, you weren’t taking action so Theo and I decided to jump in.” Blaise said simply as he handed a bunch on papers to a group of Hufflepuffs.
“I was too taking action! As a matter of fact if you waited half a nanosecond I could have told you I came up with a plan. And I plan to do something about it right now.” Draco said as they walked into the Potions classroom. There was a note on the board telling the Seventh Years to find their names on the sheet of paper and their partners. They were then suppose to pick a potion from the list given to them last class and then write a two foot paper on it and brew it before Christmas Holiday.
Draco looked down the list.
//I’m with Potter… oh wait! Fluffy said he knows Potter and his fan club. Maybe if I play nice with Potter I can get him to deliver something to him.// Draco happily moved his supplies to his and Potter’s assigned table and began looking over the paper.
----
Harry was still fuming when he walked into the Potion’s classroom two minutes before Snape swooped in like the over-grown bat that he is.
“Your seat Mr. Potter, is next to Mr. Malfoy. Or are you having difficulty reading?” Severus asked Harry as he stared at the partner list. Harry glared at Severus like this was all his fault before he turned and sat down with a *hrumph* next to Draco.
“What’s got your boxers in a bunch Potter?” Draco asked. Harry looked at Draco and glared. Harry didn’t say one word to Draco just handed him the paper. Draco looked at it and sighed. There was a good two minute pause of awkward silence
“He won’t respond to that.” Harry said simply getting his supplies out.
“I know,” Draco whispered, “But it’s not my fault. Theo and Blaise-”
“Save it, Malfoy. I want to try and scrape a decent grade on this project so let’s just pick a potion and get on with it.”
With that said, they began discussing what potion they were going to do. In thirty minutes they decided on the Power Potion. A potion designed to show, once ingested, the power levels of the person in front of and around you. It used a range of colors based on the person’s personality. The dimmer the color the less powerful, the brighter the color the more powerful. They were to describe its usefulness, figure out their color and how bright it would be and then test it on each other.
“It says it will take two months to brew and we need to stir it every three days for 20 minutes for the first two weeks then let it simmer for two weeks, then for the remaining four we add the essence of unicorn hair to it every other day at a pinch of time while stirring counter-clockwise,” Harry stated.
“Well when’s good for you?” Draco asked.
“I dunno. Being Quidditch Captain, I can decide when practices are so that really doesn’t matter. But I have other things every other Wednesday. Not to mention prefect duties.” Harry said.
“So we can brew it today and then meet in the lab down the hall every three days after dinner to stir it. And while one stirs the other one looks up information. How does that sound?” Draco asked. Harry nodded. They both presented Severus with their project ideas and how they plan to accomplish it. Once approved, they began work on the base of the potion.
“Hey P- I mean Harry.” Draco asked as he stirred.
“Yea?” Harry asked as he chopped the tree root.
“You think you could give Fluffy something for me?” Draco asked. Harry looked at Draco with a raised eyebrow.
“Why should I help you?” Harry asked.
“Look, we finish school in a few months and frankly, I am sick of fighting. There’s nothing left in it. Sure, for the first six years it was great, it was so easy to get you, but now… there’s nothing left.” Draco said. Harry contemplated what Draco said and nodded.
“You’re right. ‘Son of an ass kisser’ does lose its appeal after the first forty times.” Harry said
“My point exactly. I can only said ‘Saint Potter, everybody loves to hate you’ so many times before I’m bored.”
“Alright. Truce?” Harry asked extending his hand
“Truce.” Said Draco shaking Harry’s hand. The bell sounded and they both stood up. Draco handed Harry a Honeydukes bag. “No looking Potter. It’s for his eyes only.” Harry nodded and walked out of the classroom towards Hermione.
“What was that about?” Hermione asked.
“Nothing.” Harry said simply, a coy smile on his face.
---------------------
Draco sat in his room. He played along with Theo and Blaise’s game of “lets find a Fluffy in a cotton pile,” and it didn’t work. He ended up hexing a sixth year for trying to kiss him, and everyone scampered. He left Theo and Blaise with a promise of hexing them to hell in the morning.
He looked down at the parchment he’d been looking at for what seemed like forever. Finally writing began to appear.
//Draco,
You never give up. I enjoyed the flowers by the way. How did you know vanilla was my favorite?
Harry told me what you did, very mature. It put you up a few notches in my book. I’m still not giving in just yet.
I’ll give you some advice - look before you leap. Anything that happens after this and you get freaked out, it’s your own damn fault.
Fluffy//
Draco smiled and began his response.
---------------------
Harry looked down on the parchment as he sucked on another vanilla flower.
//Fluffy,
I never look before I leap.
Give me your best shot.
All my love,
Draco//
Harry smirked and turned off his light. Tomorrow would be interesting.
