Draco's POV

"I SAID I'M GAY! Okay? Are you happy now?" He yelled storming off to his room.

I turned around to everyone else in the room and they all had either a shocked expression on their face, or a confused face.

"Look what you did!" I said scowling at Pans.

I took off for the room to find Pottah sitting at the base of his bed is a sobbing mess, his knees pulled close to his chest, his arms wrapped around his legs, and his head resting on his arms. I sit down next to him not knowing what to do so I just pat his shoulder and looks up immediately.

"What do you want Malfoy? To tease me about being into blokes, to see if I was crying to tell everyone well do whatever you want, I don't care anymore." He rested his head back on his arms.

"I wasn't going to tease you. In fact, I wanted you to know that I understand." Pottah looks up at me with confused look on his face.

"What do you mean you understand?"

"I'm saying that you're not the only one interested in blokes Potter." He looked even more confused.

"Are you serious?" He asks and I grin.

"No, I'm Draco." He laughs at that, and it made me smile. "There's that famous Harry Potter smile."

"No offence but why are you comforting me? I thought you hated me."

"You may not be my favorite person in the world, but that doesn't mean that I don't have a heart. I know what it means to feel trapped from a secret as big as that and I know how stressful it can be keeping it. It took me two years after finding out to finally tell Pans and Blay."

"When did you find out?" He asked.

"When I was in fourth year. A new Slytherin guy joined Hogwarts and I realized that I liked blokes, I didn't do anything about that guy because shortly after my feelings faded, but it showed me what I actually felt. What about you?"

"When I was in fifth year. It was the year that my dad had come out to me that he liked a bloke and that's when I realized that I had too but hadn't realized it."

"Wait a second, your dad's into blokes?" Potter nodded. "Don't you dare tell him I said this but my dad's into blokes too!"

"You're kidding!"

"I'm not." We both started laughing but Potter stopped suddenly. "Is something wrong?"

"No, but I was thinking, do you want to secretly be friends?" He asked and I was immediately surprised.

"The Chosen One wants to be friends with me?"

"Don't call me that please, and yes I do."

"Why secretly though?"

"I was thinking that we should get used to the concept first."

"That makes sense. For once you're not acting as dense as usual Pottah." He smacked my shoulder at that.

"I am not dense."

"Are you sure? You've been dating the weaselette since third year and you still didn't break up with her when you'd found out you were gay."

"I was still confused about my feelings; I didn't want to end things with her in case it ended up not being real."

"That's an excuse wimps use."

"You're calling me a wimp when I remember a certain time by Hagrid's cottage that you were threatened by Mione no? And if I'm correct, you were absolutely terrified as she held her wand up to your throat."

"Okay in my defense, Mione is super powerful with her wand. Even I was able to admit it back then."

"You have a good point. To be honest, even Ron and I are scared of her at times. She gets mad at us every time we haven't been doing our homework and that was quite often. She can get quite terrifying when she's angry."

"You're telling me, she literally turned that reporter lady in a small animal and trapped her in an unbreakable jar that would kill her if she turned back into her human form."

"I almost forgot about that. I guess Mione's been a badass in front of us all along, I guess Ron's not the only dense one here, and yes, I am admitting to being dense, but I'm not dense all the time."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night."

"Anyway, we have to stage a fight so that they don't think we're buddy buddy, they probably think we're friends since I came up here soon after you."

"Awww, does the Draco Malfoy have a heart?" I punch his shoulder.

"Shut up." I say but he just laughs. "Anyway, let's just start yelling bad names at each other and then you run off, okay?" I ask.

"That works."

"Three. Two. One. And zero!" He counts down.

"YOU ARE SUCH A BITCH POTTAH!!"

"I'M A BITCH? SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!"

"BASTARD!"

"ARSEHOLE!" He yells running out of the room.

Harry's POV

"ARSEHOLE!" I yell storming out of the room and running down the stairs. I run into Ron, Mione, Pansy, and Blaise.

"What the fuck happened?" Ron asked worriedly.

"Malfoy is just being the bastard he is. Just leave me alone for a while, I need some air."

"GRYFFERINPAW!" I yell at the wall I'm walking towards, and it just fully opens when I walk through. Everyone in the hall glances at me while I storm through the hallway and pretend to look extremely annoyed. "What the fuck are you looking at?" I glared at a certain group of people that had been staring at me for a while, but they quickly looked away.

I headed to the Astronomy Tower to "calm down" after a "fight" with Draco.

A couple hours later I heard footsteps on the staircase.

I turn around with a grimace.

"Don't worry, it's just me." My grimace fades immediately and is quickly replaced with laughter, Malfoy soon joining in.

"Did you see the looks on all the student's faces? I swear even some of the teachers looked terrified of me." I said still laughing.

"Seriously? That's amazing."

"I never thought driving people crazy could be so fun."

"This is just the beginning; I have an idea." Draco said.

"What's your idea?" I ask him.

"We can start pulling pranks all over the castle, on students, on teachers, on filch. And the best part is no one would suspect it'd be us since we're "enemies"." He said adding air quotes to enemies.

"I say we prank Filch first, and I have the perfect idea." I said deviously.
