REMERGED RIVERS

I See You

Harry couldn't stop looking.He just couldn't.Ron and Hermione were always talking,Dean and Seamus were snogging anywhere they were and Lavender and Parvati were mindlessly flirting with each other.

But Harry was just there.He and Ginny had broken up almost a month ago,when Harry said he could only see Ginny as a sister.Since then,Harry has been alone.

But now,as he looks over to the Slytherin table,he feels something stir within him.

Draco Malfoy,who apparently also came back for their 8th year,was sitting in silence and solitude, eating with a grace only a Malfoy could achieve.

To Harry,he looked gorgeous.His hair had gotten slightly longer,just about to his shoulders.His pale cheeks had a distinct glow to them which Harry couldn't seem to get his eyes off of.Pale eyelashes covering silver-grey eyes,which twinkled in the pearly lights of the Great hall.

Harry didn't know why he felt the way he did;he wasn't even gay to begin with. Are you sure about that? A voice inside him asked. Then why are you looking at him like that? The voice continued taunting him.

Suddenly,as if he felt Harry's eyes on him,Draco looked up from his meal to meet Harry's eyes.

Harry was in the middle of taking a sip of his pumpkin juice and he immediately spluttered it all over himself as soon as he made eye contact.To say the least,Harry was flustered.

He quickly averted his gaze back to his plate and he didn't dare look back.For a second,he thought he felt Draco's gaze on him,but he couldn't be sure.He was just to embarrassed to look back.

After an excruciatingly long dinner,they were finally released to their houses.Since very few students had returned for their 8th year;they were all put in a chamber which was behind a tapestry of the four founders.

Inside the common room,the four walls were each painted a different colour.Green,to represent Slytherin;blue to represent Ravenclaw;yellow to represent Hufflepuff and red to represent Gryffindor.There were fluffy beanbags besides the tall arched windows and a bookshelf adjacent to them.A coffee table was placed in the middle of the room, bearing a vase which contained lisianthuses of all the four colours.

As the students steadily trickled into the common room,Harry all but clambered to go to his room.Each dormitory was to contain two people,and,to Harry's famous unlucky streak,his roommate was the one and only:Draco Malfoy.

At that point,Harry felt he might as well be kissed by a Dementor,cause it definitely felt like that.He was so caught up in his inner panic that he didn't hear the door open or shut quietly.

"Mind to tell me what all that was about Potter?"
