Potion Class

words

The next day Harry met up with Draco to continue their studies. Harry was so heart broken that the process he made with potions was reverse.

Draco concern for his new friend took notice of his soul less eyes. He could tell Harry stayed up all night crying with his eyes swollen red.

"Harry," Draco starts "if you are feeling unwell today, we can save studying for some other time."

"NO!" Harry shouts and then lowers his voice to a whisper. "I mean this helps ditract my mind."

Draco gave Harry a puzzle face then questions him. "Harry are you in love with Professor Snape?"

Harry looks away not saying a word. Draco knew he had no right to ask. He knew they just became friends and wasn't trusted yet. He decided to spill one of his secrets to get Harry to open up.

"I'm in love with Fred."Draco starts. "Of course he doesn't know but I can't tell him. How crazy is it for a pure blood to like another guy and a Weasley of them all."

Harry smiles but still refuses to look at Draco. "I bet he be shock to hear that but probably happy." Harry says with a quiet tone.

Draco laughs and gets up. "As if" he scoffs "for everything I've done how could anyone like me. The mean things I've said to him too it would be impossible," he says twiddling his thumbs "If my dad knew I felt this way for a guy, let alone a Weasley.....oh forget it. You probably would see my ass hanged next to his wand on the wall. I mean you heard what happen right and that was for speaking out of term." He said with his eyes on the ground.

Harry finally looks at Draco with pity eyes. He understood perfectly what it was like to live with people who never could love him and use him as a punching bag. He put his hand on Draco's shoulder and gave him a kind smile."I've struggled my whole life wondering why I could never fit in." Harry starts. "Or why I'm even here. I mean my parents sacrifice their life for me and for what. I live with muggles who only see me as an ungrateful brute and always treating me like trash. They hit me, make me starve and call me names like useless. Even Snape the one I love doesn't even see me as a human and looks at me like I'm repulsive." Harry lets a tear fall as he whimpers "Why am I not good enough."

Draco pull Harry into a hug as he whispers in his ears that everything will be alright. And for the first time both Harry and Draco felt wanted.
                  ********************

After a while Harry and Draco broke from their hug as it was time to get to class. As they walk out Draco spots Fred and George.

Harry snudge Draco saying "you should tell him how you feel. I'm sure he feels the same."

Draco just shook his head as he smiles and waves to Fred. Fred's heart throbs with excitement as he smiles back and winks. Dracos heart flutters as the two of them continue to walk to class.

"Maybe later" Draco whispers to Harry.

They got to the door of Potions and Harry's heart sank. There he saw at the desk Professor Snape scowling while grading papers.

Harry and Draco quickly took their seats as Harry took a glance at Ron and Hermione. They mouth hello as they had a look of worry. Harry smiles and waves but quickly lost it when he heard a voice with a tone of annoyance.

"Ah Mr.Potter" Snape sneers "glad you decided to show up for class though I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference either way." Snape was actually happy to see him though he hid his true feelings. He had a scenario in his head where he punches him self a zillion times out of regret for what he said.

Just as Harry thought his heart couldn't shatter anymore he was proven wrong. Harry fought to hold his tears back but one couldn't help but slip down. Draco place a hand on Harry's shoulder and this made Snape glare even harder.

Harry looks away as he starts to say "well unfortunately for you I'm here I'm still obligated to learn." He begins to question his statement as he sense Snape's anger rise.

Harry was ready to leave when Hermione spoke up. "Pardon my rudeness sir but shouldn't we be starting class."

Snape glances at her as he turns around walking to his desk as Harry let out a sigh of relief. 'This is going to be a long day' he thought to himself. He could tell he wasn't prepare for Snape to say anymore hurtful things but he had a feeling this wasn't the end.
              ************************

It was the end of class and everyone left except for Harry. "Um sir" he spoke up but lost confidence when he saw the look of daggers Snape had on his face.

"Nevermind" Harry begins to walk away but then stops. He spoke without looking "Why do you hate me so."

Snape reaches a hand out but froze. He then roars "as if you need to ask. You look like that filthy halfwit who tormented me all those years. Not one speck of Lilly. Not even her personality. You are so much like your father it's distasteful. I can't even look at you without feeling dreadful it's quite horrible."

Harry just stood there facing the door with both hands scrunch in a fist. Snape took notice of the slim boy in front of him who looks to be shock.

Harry spoke with a shaking voice as he walks away. "Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not my father."

Snape tries to go after him but stops himself. Snape wasn't ready to tell him how he truly felt nor did he want to hurt Harry more than he already had. He let Harry get away knowing all to well that he was hurt.

Harry walks in a slump on his way out almost robot-like. His mind was blank as well as his face. He felt dejected even though his tears were dry. He had a face of beyond sorrows.
