chapter four

My broom is immediately in my hands after summoning it. Draco eyes me.

"What?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. He shrugs his shoulders.

I hop on my Firebolt and wait for Draco to get on the back. He doesn't.

I look over at him. He's just standing there, looking at me.

"What are you waiting for, silly?" I say jokingly. He smiles and sits behind me. He seems... nervous?

I push off of the ground and bolt into the air. I hear Draco scream and immediately there are arms gripping my torso.

"HARRRRRYYYY!" I hear him yell. I laugh. He's such a wuss.

I do a loop and go even faster. We zoom around the castle. Soon, Malfoy's screams stop and he starts to laugh.

"Having fun, Malfoy?" I try to tell over the wind. He just laughs even louder, which just happens to make me laugh. His laugh is so contagious. Beautiful.

We start flying even higher and I find myself in the clouds. I slow way down. It's so peaceful and quiet up here.

"Harry?" I hear a whisper.

"Hmm?"

There's a moment of silence and I look back to see Draco looking down.

"Nevermind," he says so quietly that I could barely hear it.

"What is it?" I ask, genuinely concerned.

"It's nothing," he says. I decide to drop it. I don't want to make him more upset over whatever it is.

"Draco?" I ask after sitting in silence for a few minutes.

"Yeah?" He asks, leaning over, trying to look at my face. I turn around again to look at him.

"You know how we're... enemies?" I ask. I guess it's my turn to be shy.

He nods his head. I turn back around and start flying back down. I feel him lean his head against my back. He's like a little fluff ball.

"What if we.. weren't enemies anymore?" I ask after touching back down on the ground. He gets off of my and I get off of my broom. He's looking at me but I'm looking at the ground.

"I'd love that," he said, making me look up with a smile. I don't know what came over me, but tonight, Draco just seemed so vulnerable, so.. naive. This wasn't the Draco that I've known for the last 5 years. This is the Draco that I wish I would have met in first year.

It does worry me. I mean, his family is very associated with Voldemort. His aunt also killed Sirius. Maybe I shouldn't trust him. But I won't know his intentions until something happens. I'd rather have a friendship bloom than drop him even if he could've been something good.

I take a breath and start to walk.

"We should do this again," I say.

"Yeah. I'm really glad you came," he said. I nod my head. Now we're very close to the entrance and I stop and Malfoy stops beside me.

"Well, goodnight then.." I say.

"Goodnight. And thanks for the present... Potter," he says with a small laugh. I laugh a bit too.

"Anytime, Malfoy," I smile and walk away, towards the Gryffindor common room with my heart pounding in my chest and a smile on my face.
