'Okay, what was that about Draco?' Pansy says, with a tone that demands answers.
Even Blaise looks curiously at him.

'I'm helping Potter with something. he's annoying. ignored him.' Draco sums up and continuous walking.

'What are you helping him with, why would you help him. Didn't you, I quote, "hate the git" ?' Pansy asks.

'I do, or I did, but it's important. End of story.' Draco says shortly and he sits down, taking a bite of a green apple to make clear the conversation is over.

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

With a lesson as boring as Professor Binn's, it doesn't  take long for Harry to drift of in his thoughts.
He thinks about the first thing that comes into his mind, or rather person.
Harry wonders why it is always Draco that comes first into his mind. He knows it was before because he was wondering what he was up to, but now it doesn't make sense.

Draco looked pretty bad this morning. Harry realizes. He had noticed the blonde was paler than usual, and he sounded tired. Maybe there was something going on Harry did not know about.
Of course there are thing going on you don't know about.
Harry mentally slapped himself, of course he doesn't know about everything in Draco's life. Although he strangely wants to.

Harry soon finds himself drifting of to Draco's appearance again.
His hair wasn't as flawless as usual, Harry had noticed. Maybe he should be shocked that he just called Draco's hair flawless, but that was just a fact, wasn't it?

'Alright mate, who is she?' Ron whispers into his ear, smirking.

'What?' Harry asks confused and snaps out of his thoughts.

'Your crush. Don't think I haven't noticed. I may be daft sometimes, but I'm your best mate and I can tell if you're thinking about someone special. You get this dreamy look in your eyes.' Ron explains and Harry looks incredulously at him.

'What?! No, I don't-' Harry cuts himself up mid-sentence.
Could that be the meaning of the sparks he feels when he accidentally touches Draco? Or the knot in his belly whenever he thinks or looks at him? He had blamed it on eating to many, or not enough. On hatred, on curiosity, but a crush seemed to be the most logical option, although it would take some time to get used to.
Harry already knew he was attracted to guys as well as to girls.
Bisexual, he had heard someone call it.
But being attracted to a Malfoy is a whole other story.
It isn't forbidden to fall for Draco anymore, he is a good guy now, he helped saving the world and he is ridiculously attractive. That's a fact.
But Draco still is his friends' enemy, and he was Harry's too, for the last 7 years.

'Yeah, I might've a crush.' Harry confesses and swallows hard.

'You only just realized it?! Mate, I saw you staring dreamily at nothing for the past three days!' Ron whispers.
'So who is she?'

'I'll tell you when I feel like it, alright?' Harry says a little more harsh than he planned to.

'But-' Ron starts, but Hermione nudges him in the ribs, having heard the entire conversation.

'Leave him Ronald, he'll tell us when he's ready.'
