----------------------------------------------

Harry POV- Fourth Year

I wandered the halls, thinking about the night so far. I had just finished the second part of the tournament, the lake, when Draco Malfoy had walked up to me.

"Well done, potter," he had said. Except instead of spitting it out like he usually did, he had said it almost.... Sincerely.

Thinking about him, he had changed quite a bit this year. There wasn't nearly as much vigor in the insults he threw, they were half hearted. The one occasion he had, talking about how long I would last in the tournament, when he said his father would hear from him, his eyes died. Something was up with him. I wanted to find out, my crush on him talking, but the vow I had taken in first year stopped me.

I had always thought he was a very attractive person, it was just his rudeness that was off putting. That was the only reason I said no to being friends in first year. On that day I had sworn that I would pretend to hate him no matter my feelings. In second and third years it was easy- he made me hate him naturally with all the insults and slurs he threw around, but this year, it was difficult. He was always watching me during the tournament- I could feel his eyes on my back. When I looked, I could see worry in his eyes. He was making me so confused. There was only one thing I could do, and that was send a letter to Sirius and Remus.

Dear Sirius and Remus,

I've been having an okay time in the tournament, it is very nerve wracking but it's getting easier. The next task isn't for a while, so that's good. I'm not writing to you about that though. There's someone at school who I like, and have for a long time, I'm just confused. They're a very rude person usually, but this year, somethings off. They're eyes are dead, and the rudeness is halfhearted. They don't seem to be focusing on school work either. And also, during the tournament, they've been staring at me and when I look, I can see concern in their eyes. The thing that confuses me about that is that they don't worry about me. Many of the insults they throw around are directed at me. I'm not sure what to do. Please, give me advice?

Harry

I finished the letter and folded it, heading up to the owlry as I did. Right as I turned to enter, I saw a shock of blonde hair, then I was sliding down the stairs a bit. I hit my head on the last step, and sat up dazed. My glasses had fallen off, but I knew who it was as soon as they spoke.

"Potter?" Draco asked. I sighed.

"Malfoy."

"What're you doing here?"

"Sending a letter, what do you think?" I snapped. I felt around on the ground for my glasses, but couldn't feel them anywhere.

"Oh! Hold on a second!" I heard shuffling on the steps then saw a blur as he walked towards me, holding down my glasses. "Here."

I put them on and looked up at him curiously. He looked back, rocking on his feet.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing. I have to go. Sending a letter to my dads. Or I guess uncles. God fathers? Dads." I facepalmed inside my head. Why did I say that? He was probably a homophobe.

"Oh, Remus and Sirius, yeah? I read that they were married and adopted you in the Prophet last year."

I blinked at him, then stood up. "I'm gonna go." I walked back up the steps, and I thought I heard a soft, "Bye Harry," murmured behind me. I shook my head. Malfoy wouldn't say that.

That night at dinner, I sat where I could see the Slytherin table and Draco. He was playing with his food, just shoving it around his plate not eating. Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle were all laughing and taking around him, but he just stared at his plate. I wondered what was wrong with him.

"Harry!" Hermione shouted, snapping me out of my thoughts. "What's up?"

"Nothing I'm just...."

"Watching your crush?" Ron said through his food.

My mouth opened, but I had nothing to say so I closed it again.

He laughed and Hermione glared at him. "Leave him be, Ronald!"

"Sorry....." He mumbled.

They went back to their original conversation after that, something about potions, so I returned my gaze to him. To my surprise he was looking right at me. As our gazed met, we both blushed and ducked our heads away, tuning back into the conversation. 

I would figure out what was eating at him somehow, I just wasn't sure how. Little did I know my opportunity would be coming soon after the third task.

Draco POV

I watched as Harry walked away, mumbling a soft "bye Harry," hoping he wouldn't hear. He didn't respond or react, so I figured he hadn't. Once he was inside, I facepalmed. Everything I said had sounded stupid. He hated me, I knew he did. I left before he came back out, realizing how that would look. I thought about going to the common room, but I didn't want to deal with Pansy. I decided to go to the library until dinner. I picked up a stack of books about random things and read until it was time to go to dinner, getting through 3 books.

At dinner, Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy were talking about stupid things so I tuned out and stared at my plate. I pushed around my plate and thought about my father. He had been at the World Cup when the dark mark was sent off. I felt like he knew something about why it was or who had done it. He claimed he wasn't loyal anymore but I knew he was. I hated him, and wanted nothing to do with him, but I had no other options. I felt eyes on me and looked up to see Harry looking at me right before he turned to Hermione and Ron. They had a short conversation that Harry quickly lost interest in. He turned back and when he saw me looking at him he blushed and looked away. I followed suite. I couldn't believe that I was caught looking at him. He could never know that I liked him, had since madam malkins. Perhaps though, we could become friends. I smiled as I thought about having Harry as my friend, finally. All I needed was a plan.

Is it good so far? Do you like it? I'm super excited! Anyways....

Merry Christmas Eve everyone, I hope you have a good holiday!! I'll have an update soon.
