"It was always you.." | a Drarry love story

Chapter 2 - "A new friendship"

Harry Potter stretched on his bed when suddenly a platinum blond haired boy came into the room. "Hi, Malfoy." Harry said in disgust. "Hi, Saint Potter. Miss me?" Draco had a sly look on his face. Harry rolled his eyes and turned the other way. He knew he had to get started on his homework, so he got up and began shuffling through his bags.

About an hour had passed of silence. Draco was reading a rather large book on his bed. His side of the room was decorated in all green decor. Harry's side was decorated in all red and gold. Harry then turned his lamp off and started off to bed, as it was getting late. Draco glanced over at the brunette as he was laying peacefully asleep. Draco thought, 'I never noticed how cute Potter looked when he's not mad at me'. Draco snapped back to reality, scolding himself as he was confused to where that thought came from. Then he too, went to bed.

Harry woke up from a nightmare frightened. He glanced at his clock, it was 1:27 a.m. He flipped over to face the side where Draco lay sound asleep on his own bed. Harry pulled the red blanket over his head as his eyes began to become teary. His nightmare was about Sirius Black, his godfather. Tears slipped down Harry's cheeks as he thought of how Sirius died for him. The flash of green striking him in the chest as he faded away haunted Harry. Soon tears were falling faster than before as he tried his hardest to stay quiet. He hadn't noticed that the blond was awake too. Draco quietly crept over to Harry's side of the dorm. He pulled the blanket away from Harry's face to reveal his wet cheeks, with tears still streaming down them. Draco felt a pang of pain in his chest, 'what is this feeling?' He thought. Suddenly he snapped back to reality when Harry spoke, "If you're going to make fun of me for crying, go right ahead. I don't care." He said weakly. "I.. I'm not going to make fun of you, Potter. Now why are you crying?" Draco asked. Harry replied, "Why should I tell you?" Draco looked down. Harry then became confused, 'is Malfoy actually concerned for me?' He thought. "Well.." Harry began and Draco looked up at him, surprised. "I was thinking of.. Sirius.."
Draco sympathetically looked him in the eyes, catching Harry off guard. "Your godfather?" Draco asked. "Yes.." Harry mumbled. 'I cannot believe I'm doing this..' Draco thought. He then pulled Harry into a caring and warm hug, sending a shiver up the brunette's spine. Harry said in a shocked tone, "w-why are you being so nice to me?" "I don't know.." Draco said, still embracing Harry in his arms, "It just felt right." Harry smiled, "Thank you Malfoy. Do you maybe.. want to start over?" Harry said as the two released from the hug. Draco looked him in the eyes, noticing how green they really were. "Sure." He said. The two looked at each other, smiling.

Harry woke up, his head aching slightly. He glanced next to him, seeing a familiar blond asleep in the same bed next to him. Harry was in shock as he started blushing rapidly. The flustered brunette hurried out of bed to get ready. When Draco awoke, not long after Harry, he too began blushing and became confused as to why he was in Harry's bed. The memories of them hugging and become friends came back to him. He then looked up to see the same green eyes that mesmerized him the night before staring at him. "Well are you going to just sit there, Draco? We still have class." Harry laughed. "Sorry" Draco smiled. 'He called me Draco!' The blond thought, as his  stomach was filled with butterflies. He then went to get ready.
