Draco Malfoy's POV:

I did it. I finally did it. I kissed him.

Now Pansy, Blaise, and I sit in Defense Against the Dark Arts, listening to Remus's lecture, I must say I still find this class ridiculous.

"If you all remember the Boggart lesson from your third year you'll remember-"

I roll my eyes as I remember the lecture from 5 years ago. I'm glad I never had to go, I'm not necessarily ashamed of what my fear is- was. But it's not worth the trouble with my friends and Harry if they ever saw.

I felt myself stare into nothing as I tuned out the review time- but I felt a thin rough texture touch my fingers as I look to my left.

"Potter asked me to give this to you," Blaise rolled his eyes but gave a soft smile.

I smile as I unfold the piece of parchment, inside is scrawly handwriting read: Hey you okay? You look annoyed.

I scoffed lightly to myself as I pulled out my quill and began to write: This class is ridiculous.

"Can you- give this back to him?" I whispered to my friend, who simply rolled his eyes but smiled and threw it in front of Harry.

I felt his sweet smile at me as he opened the note and wrote once more. I smiled to myself too.

"Merlin, am I an owl now?" I heard Blaise scoff as he shoved the paper into my hand.

I gave me a playful smirk and went back to writing to Harry: Don't insult Lupin's lecture !!

It was barely legible, but I managed. I'm sure my opinion on Remus' lesson won't ruin him. Besides why did you even write me a note just to scold me?

This time, I leaned across Blaise and threw the note myself, earning I few glances from various classmates and a glare from the boy sitting next to me, I gave him an innocent smile.

Before I knew it i was reading again: Remus? First name basis? Also, I didn't mean to you brought up the lesson first :(

I laughed slightly to myself, merlin I never knew Potter was soft. You wrote me first, Potter.

I watched him unfold it and his smile faded. I felt a frown form on my face.

Potter ?

Oh Harry you know it's just a force of habit.

Another frown.

Sorry.

It's okay, just messing with you

Of course you are. I roll my eyes

I love you

I smile. I can finally say it back.

Sure you do. I love you too, idiot.

And then class was over all too soon, but nonetheless I gave Harry the note and he flashed the brightest smile at me.

Maybe things were finally turning around for me.
