Chapter Two - Id Do Anything

“I’m home!” Though he was trembling, Harry shouted happily and shoved off the snow on his shoulders.

“Welcome home.”

“Hey Hermione, it's really cold out there.” Harry felt something was missing from the perfect scene before him. Hermione was sitting lazily on the sofa near the fireplace with Ron next to her. Their backs were facing him. Ginny occupied another sofa across from Hermione and Ron’s and was looking at him from the book she was reading. One person was missing.

“Where's Draco? Is he back from his mission yet?” Harry ran his eyes, searching for his Slytherin companion. At night all of them usually sat in the living room, sharing stories about their missions and what had happened through out the day.

“I'm here.” Came a reply.

“Huh?” Harry searched the room but couldn’t find the owner of the voice. Then he saw Hermione point at the place in front of him. Harry walked forward and saw that the Slytherin was huddling in front of the fireplace, covered in a blanket. “What are you doing there?”

“I'm cold.”

Harry made a face. It was no fun talking with Draco. Luckily Ginny helped elaborate. “Well, considering you were riding a broom, on a snowy day like this, wearing nothing but a thin shirt and jean shorts, it's not surprising for you to be cold, Draco.” Ginny snorted.

So Draco just got back too, Harry mused. “Well, you know Draco is a superman, Ginny.” The Gryffindor grinned and plopped down next to the boy, trying to warm himself with the heat from fireplace. “So what's new today, guys?”

“Well, we have nothing new to report since we stayed in the house all day, but I think you have something new to tell us, eh Harry?” Hermione smiled innocently.

Harry blinked. “Huh? Me? The only news I have is that I finished my mission yesterday.”

“Yesterday? So what were you doing this afternoon, Potter.” Ginny smirked.

“What do you mean, Ginny?” Harry felt uncomfortable and inched closer to Draco.

“Who is she, Harry?” Hermione spoke up

“She?” Harry gulped and cursed himself for being careless this morning.

“We know you met a girl this afternoon.” Hermione grinned.

Harry bit his lower lip. “Umm.... I’m cold...let me get my sweater, okay?” The Gryffindor started to stand only to be stopped by Ron.

“No, you are not going anywhere, Harry.”

“Huh? What do you mean, Ron?”

“Ron is right. The room is warm enough. If we let you go to your room, you will pretend to sleep and won't come back down here.” Ginny smirked. “C'mon, spill it, Potter.”

“Yeah Harry, and besides you can ask Draco to share his blanket to warm you.” Hermione smiled.

Harry pouted but plopped back on the rugged floor. He was not lying when he said he was cold but he knew his friends would not let him go. Surrendering to his fate, he sighed and tugged Dracos blanket. “Share, Draco?”

“Hn.” Draco released one side of the blanket and welcomed Harry beside him. Harry quickly took the blanket and enveloped his cold body; his left shoulder was pressed against Draco’s right one as he moved closer to the Slytherin. Inside, Harry was thankful that Draco didn't join the others in interrogating him, but he also felt slightly disappointed for God knows why.
