That one dream DRARRY

Chapter 14

For the next few days, Harry could barely concentrate.

He'd spent almost all of his Sunday trying to focus on something else for more than half an hour without thinking about Draco. But he failed every time.

He couldn't concentrate during class either. Thoughts like, What would Draco be thinking now? or God, Draco's hair looks good today... distracted and confused him.

Hermione worried about him. She knew he wouldn't settle until he realized why he was thinking about Draco, but she didn't dare to mention that he was in love with him, afraid to fight again.

Wednesday after class, the trio were on their way to Hagrid when they ran into Draco.

"Oh hi Draco, we're you heading to?" Harry asked.

"Hi, I was heading to Hagrid, wanted to see Button." Draco said, turning a little red.

"Oh great, we're going to Hagrid too."

"Let's go together then." Draco said with a smile.

They went to Hagrid's hut together and knocked on the door.

"Hi guys. Come on in, I've made tea."

The four of them went inside and sat down.

"How're y'all doing?"

"We're fine, we follow our classes and stuff and not much else." Harry replied.

"And is everything going well?" Hagrid asked.

"Yes, it's going very well." Hermione replied.

"Only potions is difficult." Ron added.

"Potions isn't difficult at all." Draco said indignantly.

"Yeah maybe not for you, but that's because you're Snape's favourite!"

"And simply because potions isn't difficult at all!"

"Potions is difficult!"

Harry sighed. "Draco and Ron would you please stop arguing?"

"Alright, I'm sorry." Draco said.

"Yeah, sorry mate."

"Thank you guys. And Hagrid, how are you?"

"I'm fine, everything is going as usual, only the centaurs are acting a bit weird, I just don't know why yet."

"And how is Button doing?" Draco asked. "Can he go to that friend of yours?"

"Button is fine, he can't go to my friend though. He says he already has too many nifflers."

"What are you gonna do with Button?" Ron asked.

"I'm going to keep him for now, we'll see what I do with him later."

"Can I see him?" Draco asked.

"Of course." Hagrid put the cage on the table and opened the door.

Button climbed out of the cage and immediately went over to Draco.

"Hey Button!" Draco said enthusiastically. He petted him.

Button began to reach for Draco's ring again.

"No, no Button, that's mine, you can't have it." Draco said kindly.

Button glanced at him and tried to take the ring again.

Draco took off his ring and handed it to Harry. "Can you keep this for me?"

"Sure." Harry put the ring around his finger.

Button climbed onto Draco's shoulder via his arm.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione talked to Hagrid, while Draco played with Button and occasionally added something to the conversation.

Button jumped to the table and began to search his pouch.

"What is he doing?" Draco asked fascinated.

"I have no idea..." Hagrid said.

Button pulled a gold button, that looked exactly like Draco's, from his pouch.

"I think he wants to know where your button is." Hagrid said.

"Oh," He reached for a string that was around his neck and pulled the golden button that hung from the string from under his uniform. He took the button in his hand and showed it to Button.

Button made a happy noise and put his button away again. He climbed back onto Draco's shoulder and crawled against Draco's neck.

Draco chuckled and petted Button on his head.

Harry melted at the sight. Draco looked so happy and cute playing with Button. He looked at him admiringly.

Hermione watched with a smile, Harry was head over heels in love with Draco whether he wanted to realize it or not.

Ron was busy telling Hagrid about the latest Quidditch practice. "It was amazing, wasn't it Harry?"

"Huh, what?" Harry snapped out of his trance.

"Fred and George flying away with Quaffle and Oliver chasing them, wasn't that hilarious?"

"Oh right, yes it was brilliant." Harry said not really focused on what Ron said. He was more focused on Draco.

Ron rattled on.

"And Harry, what have you done this week?" Hagrid asked after a while.

"Oh, I learned a new spell from Hermione to clean up my mess because she felt it was necessary," Harry began to talk about what Hermione had taught him and about Quidditch and something that Fred and George had done with one of the teachers during dinner. Suddenly he was startled by a warm feeling on his left hand. He looked at his hand resting on the couch.

Draco had put his hand on Harry's and was now looking at him fearfully and hopefully with bright red cheeks.

Harry wasn't sure what he was feeling. His heart was pounding and emotions were racing through his mind as if they had missed the train to Hogwarts. What was this? Why is this happening? What does this mean? Had Draco accidentally put his hand on Harry's? No, then he would have moved away already. Was this to show that they were good friends? Or was this something else? Harry's thoughts swirled through his mind. He didn't understand at all. He felt his cheeks flush and the warm feeling he often got when he saw Draco was there again, but now a thousand times more intense than usual. Harry tried to calm his nerves and try to process what was happening and what he thought of it. In the end, he just left Draco's hand on his, calming his nerves enough to be able to listen to the conversation. He still didn't quite understand what was going on though. But he didn't mind. No matter how he looked at it, he liked having Draco's hand on his. He calmed down and relaxed his body. He noticed Draco's body relaxing next to him and he focused back on the conversation between Hagrid and Hermione.

Draco starts playing with Button again, this time only with his left hand.

"Oh, it's getting late guys, it's time for dinner." Hagrid said after a long time.

"Oh right," Hermione said. She got up. "It was nice to see you again, until next time."

Ron got up too. "Bye Hagrid." He said. "Harry? Are you coming?"

"Right, see you next time Hagrid." Harry got up.

Draco followed him. He took Button from his shoulder and handed him to Hagrid. "See you later Button." He said to Button. "Bye Hagrid, see you next time." He waved to Hagrid and followed Harry out.
