Slytherin Royalty (Draco Malfoy)

xviii) End Of The Year

I find Harry outside the Great Hall. Draco is with me but he quickly enters on spotting Harry. I told him everything on the way down here.

I approach Harry. "Hey." I say getting his attention. Harry's face breaks into a wide grin on seeing me.

"Hey." He replies. "So?" He asks. I can detect the note of hopefulness in his voice.

I smile at him. "I think I can give it a try but only if you lay off of my choices." I say. Harry nods. "Seems fair." He says.

He looks over at the Slytherin table, I guess towards Draco. "Are you going with him over the summer?" He asks. I nod. "I promised I will." I reply. "Want to comment?" I ask sarcastically. But Harry simply shakes his head.   

"I said I won't comment about your choices." He says surprising me. "And I guess we still have a few days left, we can make the most of them still."

I laugh. "Guess we can." I say. "Though keep it quite that Draco helped last night." I say.

"I have to be an idiot to tell everyone my mortal enemy helped me." Harry scoffs. I roll my eyes. "You already are an idiot, Harry." I say and walk away to the Slytherin table.

I sit down at my usual spot which happens to be beside Draco. "So?" He asks simply. "Don't act as if you care." I reply. Draco looks at me. "Are you going to tell me or not?" He asks.

"He said we should make the most of the time we have left here." I answer. Draco hums as he goes back to eating. I raise my eyebrows. "No sarcastic comment?" I ask. He simply shakes his head. I stop eating and turn to him. "Out with it." I say or rather command.

Draco rolls his eyes. "I hate Potter yet he is your brother. So I can't exactly say anything if you want to hang out with him. I am not an idiot like him." Draco says.   

"No you're not." I agree with him. "Although Harry just said that he's not an idiot."

Draco laughs at this and we are joined by Blaise and Pansy. "What are you two laughing about?" Pansy asks looking between the two of us.

I tell them about my conversation with Harry. They also laugh when I tell them about Harry saying he's not an idiot.

"So you are really making it up with Potter?" Blaise asks carefully. He is always careful while approaching a subject around me and Draco.

"I highly doubt that it will last." I say. "Though he didn't say anything about my plans over the holiday."

"To be honest I don't care what you and Potter are doing." Draco says. I narrow my eyes in suspicion. He laughs seeing it. "As long as I don't have to change my ways."

I laugh now. "Always a catch." I say. "I don't think I will stop teasing him either." I add.

"That would be a relief." Pansy says. I raise my eyebrows at her. "I have the most fun when you two tease him." She explains. I nod. "So do I." I say.

We finish eating soon. "What are we doing with the day off?" Blaise asks. I think about it.

"Why not spend the day outside?" I ask. "It will be better than being cooped up inside."
