"you're going up against a WHAT NOW?!" draco screamed at harry the night he found out about the first task.

"a dragon? what's the big deal? i thought you'd be happy about it." harry rolled his eyes as he turned to address the rest of the room. 

everyone in his year was gathered in the great hall for their study period. the other schools were using the classrooms for their studies. harry, ron, and hermione were sitting next to pansy, draco, and blaise. ron was cool with it - seeing as he had a crush on blaise and the two of them had been talking for awhile. blaise snuck glances at ron, winking and smirking at the redhead.

hermione and pansy had been going out for almost two years. they were loud and proud about their relationship. everyone knew, and those who turned their noses up at them, were cast out. pansy was very protective over hermione - she'd do anything for granger. draco and harry had yet to get together. no one was rooting for them harder than ron and hermione. harry had been pining for malfoy since third year. it was getting hard for ron and hermione to keep seeing the look of sadness in harry's eyes whenever draco smiled at a girl or laughed at a guy's joke. 

"we just have to get the egg from her. it's not that big of a deal, malfoy." that came out harsher than harry intended.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the first task was brutal, to say the least. harry was nearly engulfed in flames at least three times. the other players in the tournament were fine and completed their task in record time, but potter was struggling. every time he got close, the dragon would breathe fire. harry's broom could only do so much, it could only go so fast.

draco's face paled once he saw harry not move after a hit from the dragon's tale. he excused himself and ran to the bathroom. blaise followed him and apologized to their friends and people in the row for leaving so abruptly. blaise caught up with malfoy in the bathroom when he heard the blonde dry heave over the sink. zabini wrapped his arm around malfoy's shoulders and sat him down on the floor. malfoy rested his head on the other's shoulder. draco didn't want to get emotional.

"you can't hate someone you nearly vomit over the second you see them in pain, yknow?" zabini chuckled.

"i know, blaise, but i'd never tell him that." draco rolled his eyes.

"you should. have you seen the way he pines over you?" blaise said.

"no, but i'll be sure to keep a look out." malfoy joked, getting up from the floor and brushing off his trousers.

"cmon, i think the task is over now. we've been here for long enough." zabini dragged the blonde out of the bathroom.

draco and blaise made it back to their seats just in time to see harry grab the egg and fly away. hermione, pansy, and ron were furious with draco for leaving. he missed harry's great fight with the dragon. potter looked for malfoy after defeating the dragon, holding a look of sadness and almost betrayal before grabbing the egg. he saw malfoy and zabini sit down moments before grabbing it. 

harry flew off the field without looking at anyone. he handed the egg to dumbledore and headed to his dorm room. seamus and ginny were sitting in the common room, reading the daily prophet when potter came in and threw his broom somewhere off to the side. ginny tried to talk to him, but he waved her off and slammed his dorm door. 

not long after, ron and hermione came rushing through the common room door, too. ginny pointed toward harry's room. ron hurried into the room only to find harry curled up in a ball on his bed, clutching malfoy's jersey to his chest. no one knew how in the hell harry got the slytherin's jersey when they've never even seen him go into malfoy's locker room or dorm. the gryffindors had only ever been in the slytherin common room. 

"harry? are you alright?" ron sat on the foot of harry's bed.

"fine. leave me alone." harry threw the jersey on the floor. 

"where'd you even get this? you've never been in malfoy's dorm." weasley picked it up and placed it on his bed.

harry never answered him. he couldn't find the words to tell ron. ginny came up to try and give him some soup and chocolate frogs. hermione offered a butterbeer, while seamus decided to just give his friend some space. harry was grateful for the space given by his friend. harry would never admit it to ron and the gang, but he'd sneak into draco's dorm on the nights he couldn't sleep or had a nightmare. draco, obviously, never minded. the blonde loved to hold harry until he fell asleep.

"do you want me to get draco?" hermione asked, wanting him to at least have some comfort.

"no. he's a prick." harry rolled over, not wanting to face them.

ron and hermione took the hint and left the room. ginny gave the boy a reassuring pat on the shoulder before she left, too. ron took it upon himself to go to the slytherin common room and talk to draco. blaise smiled at his boyfriend and kissed his cheek before watching him walk over to draco. malfoy was talking crabbe and goyle when ron approached him. draco saw the look on ron's face.

"what happened?" malfoy stood up and met ron in the middle of the common room.

"harry's upset. i don't know what to do. he's clutching your sweater or jersey or something. i don't know, just come help." ron explained.

"i'm coming." draco grabbed his jacket and left with ron.

the pair hurried back to harry's dorm. draco went in first, his heart breaking when he saw the boy. malfoy climbed in bed behind harry and put his arm over his waist. ron left the room to give them some time alone. harry turned to face draco and almost immediately jumped out of bed. 

"what the hell are you doing here?" harry whisper yelled.

"ron found me. he told me you were upset and he asked me to help cheer you up." draco shrugged, smiling at the blush on his face.

"how is sneaking into my room and scaring the piss out if me meant to cheer me up?!" harry shouted, not caring if people heard him or not.

"you're the one who always sneaks into my room in the middle of the night. i figured i'd return the favor, just earlier in the evening. are you saying you don't want me to hold you?" malfoy pouted.

draco stalked closer to harry. potter didn't step away, but he didn't move closer either. the raven watched as malfoy stopped right on front of him and as he brought his hand to cup harry's cheek. draco smiled as the blush on harry's face deepened. blondie leaned down and kissed harry as gently, but as passionately, as he could. harry's hands fisted draco's shirt, pulling him impossibly closer. 

draco pulled away first, needing some air. harry whined when draco pulled away. he tried to chase the blonde's lip, but malfoy just chuckled in response. it was harry's turn to pout now. all he wanted was another kiss, and draco was actively denying him. malfoy kissed the raven's forehead and smiled. 

"want more kisses, cutie?" draco sat down on the bed and opened his arms for the boy.

"please?" harry climbed onto draco's lap and rested his head on the blonde's shoulder.

"i'll give you more kisses if i can hold you for a while longer." malfoy bargained.

harry just nodded against draco's shoulder. draco fell backwards so harry was laying on his chest now, the blonde's legs still hanging off the bed. harry pushed on draco's chest, signaling he wanted to move their position. malfoy kissed the top of harry's head before shifting so his back was against the headboard, and harry could move back into blondie's lap and rested his head on draco's shoulder.
