6th year, they became friends on the train because instead of eavesdropping on Draco and spying on him, Harry decided to talk to him and ask if he was okay.

Harry and Draco had decided for the time being to keep their friendship a secret. Harry knew how pissed off Ron and Hermione would be if they heard he was friends with "the enemy" and Draco was surrounded by people that literally wanted to brutally murder The Boy Who Lived. Secretly though, Draco was glad he and Harry weren't at each other's throats anymore. Another thing he refused to admit to anyone, he would barely admit it to himself.

They went to gather an ingredient for a potion that Hermione wanted in the Forbidden Forest, she wanted to gather more intel on what they could do to help Dumbledore fight against Voldemort, and Draco refused to let Harry go into the forest alone. It was about 11 PM and it was fully dark. Draco was shitting himself but wouldn't show it, and Harry was completely unfazed, he took walks in the dark all the time and even though there were many forces out there that wanted him dead, he didn't think about it much.

"Where do you even find a black rose?" Draco complained, he didn't want to be out here much longer. After multiple instances where one of them would step on a twig and Draco would jump and get all freaked out, Harry was starting to get a little annoyed. "I swear it wasn't either of us this time there's something or someone else out here!" Harry gave him a look that said I can't believe after all those years we were picking fights with each other, I never knew you were this jumpy.

"What?? I'm a Slytherin for a reason, I'm not stupid. I know what I'm talking about Potter." Draco continued defending himself when Harry had yet to say anything until now. "You also have a tendency to mess with me quite a lot and while sometimes it's a bit funny, I also know what I'm talking about and trust me, I would know if there was something ACTUALLY dangerous out here." He walked ahead, forcing Draco to walk faster.

"What are you on about, you may be 'The Boy Who Lived' but that doesn't make you invincible."

Harry went silent, he didn't like talking about his connection with Voldemort unless it was necessary. He rubbed his forehead where his scar was, stopping in his tracks. "Merlin, Potter what-" Harry put his hand over Draco's mouth and looked around. "Oh my god." He removed his hand and pointed at something behind Draco. As Draco slowly turned around, absolutely terrified, but the look on his face turned sour. "Very mature Potter there's nothing-" He turned around to yell at Harry, but he was gone. "...Potter. This isn't funny."

Silence.

"Potter?"

Silence.

"...Harry?" he whispered, looking around nervously like he expected a sudden attack.

Which is exactly what he got. Harry dropped his invisibility cloak and grabbed him from behind, which in turn, made Draco scream like a little girl. He spun around and grabbed Harry's tie, pointing his wand at Harry's throat. "You are such an arse Potter! You're lucky I didn't bloody hex you. I'm still fucking considering it." Harry, however, stood laughing his ass off. "Loosen up a bit, I told you there's nothing out here."

"You're out here." Draco teased him, smirking at his own joke and lowering his wand. Harry stopped again. "What was that?" Draco glared at him. "Harry James Potter, It wasn't funny the first time, it's not going to be funny the second time." Harry took out his wand and out of habit, pulled Draco behind him. Suddenly, something emerged from the trees and Harry slowly lowered his wand, shocked.

Before the two boys, stood a unicorn. White coat and mane, with a horn that looked like it was made of pure opal. Draco held on to Harry's arm. "Is that..." "...A unicorn." Harry finished. It slowly approached them as they put their wands away. They didn't want to seem threatening and scare the beautiful creature standing in front of them. They stood still for a moment, not wanting to move. Draco slowly raised his hand, and rested it on it's nose.

"Merlin Malfoy." Harry stood still. "You're petting a unicorn."

"No, really? I hadn't noticed." Draco rolled his eyes and took Harry's hand, gently leading him to pet the unicorn. They were both completely silent. They just wanted to enjoy the moment, the unicorn's coat felt like angel hair. Draco looked at Harry, who forgot about everything except the magical beast in front of him. "Isn't it amazing?" Harry said so quietly that Draco almost couldn't hear him. "Yeah... it is." but he wasn't looking at the unicorn, Harry was so focused on it that he had no clue how Draco was looking at him.

After a few minutes, Draco took Harry's hand again, which got Harry's attention. They stared into each other's eyes for a while, until Harry wrapped his arms around Draco's waist, pulled him in, and kissed him gently. Draco, surprised at first, kissed him back and rested his hands on Harry's shoulders.

When they stopped, the unicorn bowed it's head and galloped away into the forest, leaving both boys alone together. Harry looked down and noticed that where the unicorn was standing, lay a single black rose. Draco bent down and picked it up as Harry picked up his invisibility cloak. They smiled at each other, and they walked back to the castle together hand in hand.

When they got back, neither of them knew what to say. The whole walk back was silent, but it wasn't an awkward silence. They just enjoyed each other's company. Draco spoke first; "Took you bloody long enough." Which made Harry laugh. "I just didn't want to ruin anything. we're finally on good terms and-" Draco placed his hands on Harry's face and kissed him again, cutting him off. "Well, you didn't." this time they both started laughing like idiots. Suddenly, they heard someone coming. Harry quickly pulled his cloak over them both and they fell silent. They were standing so close but neither of them realized it.

Just then, Filch walked around the corner with Mrs. Norris. "Shit." Harry said under his breath. They decided to run to the Griffindor common room. It would be easier to explain Malfoy in the Gryffindor dorm than it would to explain Potter in the Slytherin dorm. When they got there, Hermione was waiting up for him. Harry got out from under the cloak and Draco stayed so that he wouldn't be seen. Hermione saw him and put down her book. "Harry, You're back! Did you get it?" He nodded. He checked his robe and his heart stopped.

It wasn't there. He realized Draco still had it on him, but he felt a hand poke his back. Draco handed him the rose without Hermione seeing, and he handed it to her. He faked a yawn, "'Mione, I'm exhausted, that was quite a bit of walking. Is it okay if I head to bed?" She looked at him suspiciously. "Sure? You don't have to ask me Harry. if you're tired, you should get to sleep." He grinned. "Thanks, I'll see you in the morning!"

"Yeah, see you then, goodnight Harry!" he breathed out a sigh of relief and walked up to his dorm, hoping Draco was following. Once he got up, he whispered "Are you here?"

Silence.

"Draco?"

Silence.

Fuck. I hope he isn't messing with Hermione. he thought, and decided to check. Then, Draco took off the cloak and grabbed Harry from behind, scaring the shit out of him. "Revenge." Draco grinned, and Harry breathed a sigh of relief. Touché, Malfoy." They both fell silent again. Draco spoke up; "She knew." Harry looked confused. "She did not. She had no clue." Draco rolled his eyes, again, but then smirked. "She totally knew. You're an awful liar." "Am not!" "Yes you are, Harry" Harry was beaming. he decided he definitely liked hearing Draco say his first name.

"So, Draco, are you sleeping here?" They both smiled at each other.

And so, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, fell asleep in each other's arms
