Chapter Text
Harry ran down the hallway, rushing to class. He had slept in after being up all night from nightmares about the war. It was better than dreams about the no nose man. Both kept him up though, he had even been given a private dorm because he would scream so much at night. He walked into Snape's classroom with his head down, hoping that he could sneak in. But Snape would never miss an opportunity to punish Harry. "10 points from Gryffindor!" Snape yelled. "And since you think you can go come and go as you please, detention!" Malfoy snickered in the corner of the classroom and Harry sent him a glare but was caught off guard by Malfoy's devilish grin, making him look gorgeous. Harry cleared his throat and with red checks went to sit beside Ron, but Snape has other plans. "Potter! Sit next to Draco, you could learn a thing or two from him!" Malfoy's grin melted into a scowl but he said nothing. "But Professor...!" Harry exclaimed but was trailed off with a sigh when Snape turned back around and ignored Harry. The whole class watched with interest as Harry made his way to the seat next to Malfoy and sat down. "Potter. Just couldn't keep out of trouble, could you. Seems you need a new purpose after voldy died. Maybe you should ask Dumbledore about something. Oh wait, never mind, he's dead now, too bad." Malfoy smirked when Harry turned toward him sharply and responded. "Maybe I'll find you later so I can learn how to be useless and turn that into my purpose. If you don't mind sharing." "Well played Potter, if only you played like that during quidditch." Harry scoffed and turned back towards the lesson. The bell was a few minutes from ringing when a piece of hair slipped from Malfoy's perfect hairdo. Harry tried to ignore it but eventually gave in and tucked the hair back behind Malfoy's ear. Malfoy sucked in a sharp breath and froze. He turned toward Harry in time to see him turn pink and look forward. Draco continued to stare at Harry in shock until the class let out and Harry ran away towards Ron and Hermione. Draco smirked and though he wouldn't admit it, he wished Harry would have done more. §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ "Harry mate, how was Malfoy? I heard you guys arguing from the front of class." "We ignored each other for the most part." Harry said. "It actually wasn't that bad once I got used to it and I focused on class." "Oy, Harry, not that bad! It's Malfoy, I'm surprised you guys didn't end up fighting and disturbing the class." Ron exclaimed while Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron's disappointment at class not getting disturbed. They walked into the great hall and Harry's eyes started looking for Draco automatically, Harry found him sitting with Pansy and Blaise and Crabbe and Goyle sitting around him. He pulled his eyes away and sat down with Ron and Hermione. Harry played around with his food, only eating a few bites until he got up and left, he didn't know what was bothering him but he knew it had something to do with Draco, whenever he thought of him, his stomach fluttered.
