As all the sorting finishes Dumbledore stood at the podium, " I know this year is going to be rather different, as now everyone is sorted. Hogwarts will still be the same, and welcome you to this home. As always a reminder and rule for every one, the dark forest is ford bidden for every student. Students in their third year and above are allowed to hogsmeade every Saturday. Atlas let the feast begin!!!"

Sounds of voices and chatter, silverware against plates rose as everyone dove in their food. Hermione started to chatter about what she was studying, and Ron inhaling his food.

Harry couldn't keep his mind off the fact that Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin prince was now a Gryffindor. "Don't you think it's weird?" Harry asked the two of them. "What's weird?" Hermione asked. "Draco is suddenly a Gryffindor? He is either suddenly nice, or is planning something for Voldemort." Harry stated as he took a piece of chicken.

"Harry I think he is growing out of his mask that his father has given to him... haven't you noticed his different behavior since the triwizard tournament? You two haven't had a big fight since then!" Hermione sighed.

Harry looked over to his right and saw the blonde slender figure gracefully eating roasted potatoes whilst talking to Neville and Dean, they seem to get along... "Maybe give him a chance?" Harry looked up at Hermione.

"Oh nah! We're talking about Draco Malfoy, do you know what his father has done to my family? It's no chance that git has-" Ron stopped, Hermione hit him on the arm " Ronald Weasley! Do not talk like that especially with your mouth stuffed with food! Malfoy is even getting along with Neville give him a chance." Hermione stated as she took a look at Harry. "You share dorms, you have to talk to him at some point."

It's true Harry couldn't stay away from him forever... but Draco had to prove himself first of all.

The feast went on as usual, although Draco sat at the Gryffindor table. The moon came over the great hall and it was soon time for bed. Everyone followed the prefects to the common rooms. " Caput Draconis" and the portrait flung open. Students filled up the common and laughter could be heard by the fireplace. Harry and Ron decided to go in their dorms, and pack out their stuff.

Harry went to his bed, it was on the left side of Ron's but another bed was on his left. "Ron who sleeps here?" Harry asked. " I dunno maybe that dude from Ravenclaw that got sorted here." Ron answered him. Harry looked a little closer, new Gryffindor robes, that sure has to be a new Gryffindor.

"Ron let's go downstairs let's hang a bit, I bet Hermione has already started to study." Ron nodded happily and they both walked downstairs. He was right Hermione had already stuck her nose in a transfiguration book.

"Hey 'mione" Harry sat down in an armchair besides her. "Hi..." she didn't look up once. Finally she looked up and started talking about school and how she is going to study, and Ron and Harry has to study more. Harry looked to the corner of his eye... Draco Malfoy sat by the window, looking out in the moonlight. His platinum blonde hair looked soft and fluffy, it was the first time Harry saw it without it being slicked back, or to the side.

"Harry? Harryyy!" A voice rang in his head.
"Harry, mate are you alright? You've been staring out the window for awhile?" Ron asked.
"Oh no, heh, I'm fine, I'm getting tired I should go to bed." Harry stood up. "Me to." Ron followed him up to the dorms.

Neville was already fast asleep, and Ron could be heard snoring behind the curtains immediately after he got his pajamas on. Harry sat down on his bed, the image of Draco's shining hair and deep gray eyes were stuck in his head. "What are you doing Harry?" Draco came into the room carefully not to wake the others. "D-did you just call me Harry?" Harry stuttered. "Yeah what about it?" Draco swung himself onto the bed besides Harry's left.

Harry's eyes widened as Draco took his fingers through his hair. "You're bed is besides mine?"
"I guess so, at least my trunk is here." Draco answered. Harry looked over at him, his trunk was black with a silver outline. Draco threw of his shirt and changed to pajamas, Harry tried not to blush as the shirtless Draco sat in-front of him. "Are you not going to put on a shirt?" Harry asked turning his head away. "Gryffindor tower is warm, unlike the Dungeons. I'm getting warm, I hate to warm." Draco said, he laid down on his bed pulling the covers over him.

That night Harry slept peacefully without any type of dream or nightmare

-next morning-
Harry woke up by the bright September sunlight going through the window. It was bright and early, and surprisingly he was the first one awake... so he thought.

Draco came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. Harry couldn't help but stare as the blonde made his way, to his trunk. Draco stopped and looked up "Like what you see Potter?" Draco sneered as Harry quickly went in the bathroom getting ready.

As Harry finished he walked back to the dorm to find Draco fiddling around with his hair making bit perfect. It was weird seeing Draco Malfoy with Gryffindor robes, the red suites him surprisingly. They walked together down to the great hall for breakfast. It was early in the morning so there were not many students eating yet. Harry and Draco sat in-front of each other to make sure they didn't take up to much space, as it would be weird if they sat separate since they came down together.

"Mr Malfoy, Mr Potter, good morning here is you're timetables for the year" McGonagall sunk up behind them an handed them a piece of parchment. Harry skimmed through it and looked over at Draco before realizing they had the same timetables. " Looks like we're gonna spend loads of time together Potter!" Draco laughed. Harry just sighed. I guess it's faith...
