Chapter 1: New Beginning

It was the beginning of his seventh year at Hogwarts and Harry was making his way through the crowd on the train station, slowly approaching the barrier which would bring him to platform nine and three quarters.

He had changed a lot during this summer. The first summer when he didn\'t have nightmares, when he didn\'t have to worry about Voldemort. Voldemort was defeated three months ago in a major battle where a lot of brave witches and wizards were killed, and even more of them injured. Arthur and Percy Weasley had been injured during an attack at the Ministry, but they were recovering. In the end Harry faced Voldemort, together with Dumbledore and members of the Order and killed him. He saved the Wizarding world again.

Harry was glad that the Weasleys and Hermione, together with her parents and all his friends, survived the battle. The Weasleys, except for Hermione and Remus, were his only family left after the death of Sirius. Harry didn\'t visit Ron and his family this summer, partly because they were still repairing their house which was damaged during an attack, but mainly because they needed time for themselves.

He spent the whole summer with the Dursleys knowing that it was his last summer with them. After this year he wasn\'t ever going back. He decided to rent or even buy a flat in London after graduation; maybe move in together with Ron and Hermione. The three of them had kept in touch during holidays. Ron and Hermione had gone to Paris with her parents who had wanted to get to know the man their daughter was dating.

It was fifteen minutes to eleven when Harry finally arrived at the Platform nine and three quarters and found himself an empty compartment. He decided to wait there for his friends. He was really looking forward to seeing them and wondering if they had changed at all.

Harry knew he had changed. When he looked in the mirror he didn\'t see the skinny boy he was used to, he saw a tall, well-muscled but still slim man looking back at him. His hair was longer and he no longer wore glasses but contacts. He also bought some new clothes that suited him. He had matured and longed for someone in his life to love.

All summer long he was constantly thinking about a boy. Harry had developed a crush for a gorgeous Slytherin last year. At first, Harry had believed that it would go away, but during his lonely nights in his room and never-ending dreams about him, he knew that he was in love. He was in love with Draco Malfoy, but he didn\'t know how the other teen would react to that.

He and Draco had come to an understanding last year after Dumbledore explained to the stunned Harry that the Malfoys were really on their side and they had fought with them against Voldemort and helped them to win. Lucius Malfoy was their spy, just like Snape.
Harry and Draco had eventually become friends, sharing secrets from their past and hanging out together. Ron and Hermione were still not OK with it but they supported Harry.

Somewhere during that time Harry fell in love with Draco. They stayed in touch during the summer, writing letters to each other and Draco also remembered his birthday, sending him a beautiful necklace with a silver dragon on it, which had emerald eyes. It was enchanted to protect him. Harry loved it and wore it ever since.

Harry was so deep in his thoughts that he didn\'t even noticed an amused looking blond boy standing in the compartment door.

\'\'Hello Harry,\'\' said Draco as he came in and sat down opposite of the dark-haired boy.

\'\'Hi, I didn\'t see you coming in,\'\' answered Harry, and he felt the blush coming up his cheeks as he took a good look at Draco. \'He looks gorgeous,\' Harry thought. Indeed, Draco had grown a few inches and was as tall as Harry, with his blond hair a little longer than Harry\'s, his body well-formed from playing Quidditch all those years.

\'\'Obviously, your thoughts were somewhere else. What were you thinking before I came in?\'\' asked Draco.

\'\'About the summer, my friends. I really missed them, you know,\'\' answered Harry.

\'\'You\'ll see them soon.\'\'

\'\'Yeah. By the way, Draco, have you cleaned the Manor yet?\'\'

\'\'Yes, it looks just like before, maybe a little brighter. You should come visit me and see it for yourself.\'\' Draco smiled and Harry\'s heart melted at the sight. The Malfoy Manor had been damaged during the war because some Death Eaters wanted to take revenge on Lucius for his betrayal.

\'\'I have to go now, have to find Crabbe and Goyle, and your friends will be here soon. And I have a meeting, I\'m a new Head Boy.\'\'

\'\'Really? Congratulations Draco.\'\'

\'\'Thanks. Harry can we see each other after dinner, lets say eleven PM in our place? We need to talk about something,\'\' asked Draco.

\'\'Sure. I\'ll see you then. Bye.\'\'

\'\'Bye Harry,\'\' said Draco and left the compartment.

**

Harry was left alone to wonder what it was that Draco wanted to talk about, but he was not alone for long before the compartment door burst open and a familiar red head appeared.

\'\'Hey Harry, here you are. We\'ve been looking for you. Hey Herm, here he is!\'\' Ron shouted and the next moment Hermione came into the compartment as well.

\'\'Harry, I\'ve missed you,\'\' said the girl. Harry noticed that she had grown a little and was becoming a real beauty. His best friend stood protectively next to her. Harry smiled at that.

\'\'Guess what buddy, Hermione is a new Head Girl,\'\' said Ron proud of his girlfriend.

\'\'Congratulations \'Mione, I knew you\'d make it.\'\' Hermione just smiled at that and gave Harry a big hug.

\'\'Did you know that Malfoy is a Head Boy?\'\' Hermione looked at Harry.

\'\'Yes, he was here before and he told me.\'\'

\'\'I still can\'t believe that the Malfoys were always on our side, the way they acted,\'\' said Ron.

\'\'They had to act like that, Ron, or they wouldn\'t have survived that long.\'\'

\'\'Yeah I know Harry, dad explained everng. ng. Did you know he and Lucius are now almost friends? They\'re always hanging together. This is so weird.\'\' Harry laughed at the face Ron made.

\'\'Say, Harry. You and Draco are friends right?\'\' Hermione looked at him.

\'\'Yes. Why?\'\'

\'\'Do we have to be as well? I mean, you know how Ron and I feel about him.\'\'

\'\'Just try to get along with him, OK. I promise he won\'t insult you any more.\'\'

\'\'Right, we\'ll try.\'\'

\'\'I have to try Herm, dad ordered me to get along now that he gets along with his father,\'\' said Ron.

\'\'Harry, Ron and I were thinking that we really should find you a boyfriend.\'\' Hermione teasingly said. \'\'Gay or bi, with little experience, rich, good looking, smart...\'\'

\'\'Quit it, Herm. Can we change the subject?\'\' Harry was really embarrassed.

\'\'Harry, we just want to see you happy and in love! There are some guys in school that are totally crazy about you. Like Justin, he is...\'\'

Ron quickly put a hand on his girlfriend\'s mouth to shut her up. \'\'Sorry mate, you know how she gets.\'\'

\'\'I got it! What about Malfoy, Harry? He is gay, and likes you and I\'m pretty sure you like him too, right? You\'ll be great together!\'\' Harry couldn\'t believe what he was hearing. He was hoping for this kind of reaction if he and Draco would come together once, but to hear it from Hermione even before anything happened was unbelievable.

\'\'Sure, Ron and I are not his fans, but we know he has changed a lot and if you like him, then go for it. Right, Ron?\'\'

\'\'Yes. We care for you, mate. So do you like him?\'\'

\'\'Yes, but I don\'t know how he feels. I\'m meeting him after dinner. He wanted to talk to me.\'\'

\'\'Good, than tell him how you feel. We\'ll keep our fingers crossed for you,\'\' smiled Hermione.

\'\'Why do I have to keep my fingers crossed?\'\'

\'\'Oh, Ron. It\'s just an expression. It means we\'re wishing him good luck.\'\' Hermione rolled her eyes.

\'\'Ok, than we\'ll do that.\'\'

**

After that, Ron and Hermione turned their attention to each other, giving Harry time to absorb what had just happened. He felt happy and all the way to Hogwarts he was thinking about Draco and their meeting later. He couldn\'t wait. He decided to tell him exactly how he felt.
