Drarry-Why him?(DISCONTINUED)

What do we do?

Harry P.O.V.

"You haven't even tried to figure this out have you?" Hermione asked turning back to her plate before shuffling a forkful of eggs in her mouth.

"Yes, I so...yeah, no 'Mione I haven't." I replied hesitantly

"Harry! This tournament isn't just a game! You could die, take it seriously!"

"Yeah mate, at least try so we can even have hope." Ron added with his mouth full of bread. I sighed, "I'll ask some people if they know anything." I said, finishing off my breakfast, "I'm going to the library first, meet me there when you're done." I got up and made my way to the library, as soon as I walked in I was surprised to see a beautiful Ginny sitting at a table next to Luna. I smiled and made my way towards the two, however they hadn't noticed me, because their eyes were closed, and their mouths were hugging. I stood there for a second, shocked, I though Ginny was my girlfriend, I silently turned around and took a corner around the nearest bookshelf. Peaking around the wood to make sure neither girls had saw me, once I turned back I was hit with a strong whiff of expensive cologne and a strong arm wrapping itself around me. I tilt my head upward slightly to see Malfoy give me a fake smile and then covers my mouth with his hand. "Shhh, I need to show you something." He pulled me toward the restricted section of the library, making sure no one was watching he opened the door quietly and pulled me in. "Malfoy? What are we doing in here?" I asked in a worried tone. "Calm down Scarface, I'm not gonna hurt ya'." He said smirking, and then quietly with a serious face. "I'm here to tell you about the next task."

I turned away from him and walked over to a stack of books, "Okay, what about it?" I asked looking back up at him.

"You could drown, which you obviously know." He said rolling his eyes, "but you need to find some sort of spell or potion that with last long. I've done looking my self but I haven't found much of anything helpful." He crossed his arms and pouted while looking off into the dark corners of the library.

"Okay...thanks?" He snapped his attention back to me, shaking my head slowly I said, "Malfoy, why are you helping me, and why would you actually do research for me?" I didn't understand, so I said that, "I don't understand this right now."

Draco P.O.V.

Shit. What do I say, 'I don't know, still questioning life because of you.' sounds wonderful. I opened my mouth to respond but closed it again, "Listen, just because I hate you, doesn't mean I want you dead." I said walking towards him, not knowing why but lets just roll with it.

He looked at me quizzically, and then down by his shoes, "Okay that doesn't make sense though, I'm your mortal enemy, your whole family is in the midst of trying to kill me." He said locking eye contact with me again. Noticing how close I had gotten to him, he backed up closer to the side of a bookshelf. I winced, looking at him and taking one more step toward him, "Okay, I get your point but if that's their only goal in life what will they do after? If you were to die now I would be bored the rest of my life, honestly, I wouldn't have some stupid git to argue with. I would lose my competition." I flattened out my sleeves and put one hand in my pocket.

At the same time I took a step forward while he too one back, now he was against the bookshelf and I, well I was 4 feet away from him. So close and so far at the same time. We stared at each other for a moment, Merlin those green eyes, I would gladly lose myself in them. Wait, no, I think I'm having some sort of mental breakdown to be having these thoughts. I snapped back to reality, clearing my throat I backed away and turned my head to look at a stack of books. "I suggest talking to someone who might know any form of magic that could help you with this task." He nodded his head, his eyes were soft and his lips were slightly parted, I had never seen that look before. Especially never on Potter.

I nodded my head ta him once before turning to walk out of the restricted section when Potter had grabbed my wrist. I turned around to face him and he quickly snatched his hand away, which made my wrist feel oddly cold. "Yes?" I said raising my eyebrow.

He gulped, "Thanks. Thank you Ma-" He looked up into my eyes, "Thank you Draco."

Harry P.O.V.

His eyes lit up, I normally know that look as excitement or joy but with Malfoy it's unknown. His lip twitched, also unknown, would he smile or sneer? He looked down at his shoes and the quickly back up at me, "Yep. Don't get to comfortable with me Potter, people will question it." He smiled before walking away from me, he actually smiled, wtf.

I waited about two minutes before deciding to go back to the library to study for the task. After the sun started setting, Neville had told me about this plant I could eat, he said it would grow me gills and I could breath in the water like a mermaid. I thanked him and asked him to get me some for tomorrow, he agreed. Somehow it was already time for dinner, so I went to the great hall and took my seat across from Ron. He looked at me and nodded his head in acknowledgement for me. A plate appeared in front of me, biscuits and meats. I for some reason didn't have an appetite but I knew I needed to eat, so I did...very slowly. Hermione came in a few minutes later, "Oh, there you are Harry." She said laying her book down and sitting next to Ron, "I went to the library but I guess you were already gone." I nodded my head in response to her.

"Are you tired Mate? You haven't talked much at all." Ron asked looking at me with a worried expression.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little nervous about tomorrow, that's all." I picked up a roll, pulling off crumbs and eating them, "Oh, good news though, Neville has a plant that will make me like a fish so I can breath during the tournament." I said chewing on small pieces of bread.

Hermione nodded her head while swallowing her drink, "That's great! I'm glad you figured it out before tomorrow."

"I agree." Ron said, still chewing a large clump of food.

"Ewww, Ron, you pig! Don't talk with food in your mouth!" Hermione picked up her book and smacked his knee with it. I laughed. 

Once we were done eating we decided it would be best for me to have a relaxing shower before the tournament tomorrow, so I said goodnight to 'Mione and parted ways with Ron, making my way to the showers.
