Harry P.O.V.

Taking the silencing charm off of my shower and stepping out to the lockers in the bathroom, I dried myself with the spell Malfoy had taught me the time we were in the perfects bathroom. Walking around the corner wearing my sweatpants and old shirt that had Whinny the Poo on it, I saw a slim, pale, figure bending over a sink with bright red lips. My mouth suddenly filled up with saliva, which was disgusting, I swallowed hard. It was like my feet were glued to the floor and my voice had been put on mute. He looked up in the mirror and made eye contact, "When did you get in here?" He asked me keeping a straight face. God he was beautiful, what? I'm allowing myself to think and do whatever I want for this one night, that's the least I can do for myself with all this going on. "Potter? Are you going to just stand there watching me like a creep or are you actually going to do something?" Malfoy twisted the top back onto the lipstick container, sliding it into his robe and turning to face me. 

Mindlessly, I took one small step forward. My head was spinning, both my heart and thoughts racing. "I- erm..." I didn't know what to think.

Draco P.O.V.

He looked stunned, what did he think? Will he hold this over my head in the future? His eyes were wide in shock, his breaths slow and heavy, his lips slightly parted, he never looked away from the lipstick though. I can't tell what he's thinking, did he think it was weird, or attractive? Would he mock me or praise me? I stood there, holding my breath, waiting for something to happen. "Potter? Why are you staring at me like that?" His eyes flew up to mine, he opened and closed his mouth, licking his lips and turning away from me, "Um... I," He took a deep breath and looked at my lips again, "has anyone ever told you that red is your color?" He took two more steps this time. "Really-" He took another deep breath and whispered, "really your color."

I turned my head and pressed my lips together, what's happening? What's he about to do... what do I do? I looked back at him and pulled together all my confidence, standing up straight and taking a small step forward towards him, "No, only me and you really." I said in reply. We stood in silence for a few seconds, he turned his head and looked at the door. Is he going to run? I want to know what someone would think when they see me like this, "What does it look like to you?" I said, whispering, so I was almost sure he wouldn't hear me.

He looked back at me quickly and blinked fast, "I-erm..." he cleared his throat and stepped towards me, "Like I said, red is really your color." I felt a pull on my lips and couldn't help but smile, I turned my head to the floor, hoping he wouldn't notice, but he did because when I looked up he was smiling at me.

Harry P.O.V.

Feeling the smile on my face, I shook my head and squeezed my eyes closed, "It looks good." I said with a shiver. I was supposed to just take a shower and then go to sleep to get ready for tomorrow afternoon, but this seemed more enticing. I looked up to see Malfoy studying me, "You're not mocking me are you?" He asked wiping the lipstick and leaving a smear, which made me want to get closer, even more. I felt my breath get caught in my throat, I walked up to him and slide my thumb over the smear, pulling my hand away to show the bright red on my skin. I looked up at him and pulled him down to me, as soon as our lips connected, I woke up.

I went to breakfast with Ron and Hermione, sitting down and trying to avoid eye contact with Malfoy, but failing. Every time I would look up he would either be staring at me with a mean glare or he would see me looking at him and turn to face me. I would feel my face heat up and I would turn away, what kind of nightmare did I just wake up from? Why Malfoy...why him? Hermione was giving me a quizzical look, "What?" I asked looking between my two bestfriends.

"Are you alright Harry? You seem a bit off." Hermione said, very much correctly but I couldn't let her know that.

"No, 'Mione, I'm not alright, I could drown if the plant doesn't work!" I turned away from her, looking down at my plate, upset that I just yelled at her.

"Alright mate, calm down, you'll be fine." Ron said placing his hand on Hermione's arm. I sighed and looked back up at the two, I nodded my head once and turned to see Malfoy looking over at us with a raised eyebrow. I blinked at him many times before grabbing my bag and leaving, I can't handle all the stress in the moment. Once I was alone outside I rubbed my fingers on my temples, trying to relieve some of the head ache. I decide to climb up the tree and lay back on a branch. I'd skip my class today so I won't be worn out before the task. I wonder how long the plant is supposed to last, and if I'll make it. "What're you doing up there Potter?" I heard a familiar voice say.

"Go away Malfoy." I said turning my head to look down at him. He smirked, grabbing a branch and hauling himself gracefully up onto the branch across from me.

"Now, why would I want to do that?" he said, mockingly. I scoffed and looked out past the Hogwarts tower, we never really have time to appreciate the view, but it sure is beautiful.

Draco P.O.V.

I don't know what it is, maybe it's because of the dream I had, but I realized how attractive he actually is. The sun settling between the leaves and branches had caused a cool sunny glow to cast itself over Potter but with shade here and there in funny patterns. Even if his hair was sticking up everywhere, it was fitting for him, certain strands falling and framing his face while others added a very care free effect to him. My smirk, falling to a flat line, "Your second task is tonight." I said quietly. Potter turned his head to return the expression. 

"Yeah...I know." He sighed, "I don't even know why I'm going into the water, I won't know until we do go in."

"I-" I gulped, "Must suck." I said nervously laughing. "I don't think I should say this, or even think it." I said, realizing I was fiddling with my hands I pressed them against the branch and made eye contact. "I'll honesty be worried about you during this tournament...Like I said...no one wants their main goal in life to fall off, well, not like that." I said nervously laughing once again. He parted his lips, maybe he was going to say something, but instead his hand started to reach my branch. We both snapped our heads up at the sound of loud footsteps and hooting, bending down to see a load of Gryffindors piling up near the tree, I climbed, quickly, higher to the top, hoping to have the leaves hide me.

"There he is! The boy who lived!" One boy said jumping at excitement once he saw Potter. "Yeah! WHOOHOO HARRY!" A girl added, suddenly the boy had jumped out of the tree down into the middle of the group, "Hey guys." He said hugging a few. I found myself getting...maybe frustrated? I don't know, why did he get all the attention, why him?

*1 hour before second task*

I walked up to him, checking left and right making sure no one was around. Hearing me approach he turned to me, once he saw me he smiled, "Hey Malfoy." He said glancing down the empty corridor. I tilted my head to the side and gave a small smile back, "Hey Harry." I said casually, smiling wider. He looked up at me, shocked at first. His reaction was that and him swallowing and nodding his head once. I backed up and leaning against the wall. He took one baby step forward, "First name's now?" He asked looking down at my shoes. "Sure," I said still smiling, "of course though, only alone." I said nodding my head at him, "Of course." He said looking up at me and smiling. His face went red and he looked back down the empty hallway. "Um.. I should probably go get ready for the.. you know, tournament." I stood up off the wall and silently agreed with him. "Alright," he said giving a weak smile, "I'll see you later Mal- um, see you later Draco." He said looking up at me. I gave him a small smile, "sure thing Pot- Harry." I said mimicking him. We both turned and walked in different directions, smiling to myself, I can't believe it, our we actually friends now? I wanted to see if he was looking back at me, but I would be to embarrassed if we made eye contact, so I kept walking forward, he'll be the reason I never look back.
