If I told you I loved you

Chapter 4

Harry's POV

We were all in the great hall sitting at our house tables, some were worried, some were excited and but no one talked, waiting for McGonagall. She marched in with all the  nervously excited first years in pursuit. "You remember when we were the tiny first years?" Ron whispered to me. "Yeah, I was shitting myself that day." I chuckled with Ron quietly. McGonagall than made her way up to the front, to address us. She was now the Headmistress of Hogwarts. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts!" Everyone cheered. "This year there are extra students and a new and improved Hogwarts. Before the sorting ceremony begins, I would like to invite all eighth year students up to the front to sit at their new house tables Slythindor and Huffleclaw." McGonagall points at two smaller rectangular tables which can only fit about fourteen students each, which stood parallel to the professors table." Now let the sorting begin!" The whole student body cheered.

After the sorting and the feast, all the first years to seventh years were ordered off to bed, but the eighth years were shown to their dorms and common rooms. Huffleclaws were taken up to the seventh floor, where their new dorm was, by Professor Slughorn and the Slythindors were taken to the dungeons by McGonagall. We stopped outside the the portrait of a knight in silver armour, sitting on a bull,when McGonagall announced; "Right you will all share your room with one other person, we have chosen your pairs as to whom you would have a connection with, even though you may not see it now." She stopped an looked in between Draco and myself. Fuck, I'm roomed with Draco. I though to myself. "And all of you will have the same classes together seeing as there are only fourteen of you. Right your pairs are, Hermione Granger and Pansy Parkinson." McGonagall continued as Pansy squeaked. "Blaise Zabini and Ronald Weasley, Seamus Finigan And Dean Thomas, lavender Brown and Daphne Greengrass, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter, Tracey Davis and Hestia Carrow, Parvati Patil and Mellicent Bulstrode." I didn't know wether being paired with Draco was a good thing, this way I wouldn't be able to hide my feelings and emotions, I would definitely make a fool out of myself, I always do.

All fourteen of us stood anxiously outside the Slythindor entrance, waiting for McGonagall to stop rambling on. "At all meals you will be seated on the tables from tonight, all eighth years have permission to go to Hogsmead, at reasonable times, There will be no eighth years participating in quidditch-" "What!?" Draco, Ron and I cut her of in unison. "It is an unfair advantage and it will skew all the teams for the next few years." McGonagall explained. This is fucking shit. "Fuck that!" Draco spat folding his arms. Apparently he agrees with me."Mr Malloy, mind your language" McGonagall said calmly. "The password is teagrass orange, now everyone get settled in and I shall see you all tomorrow." McGonagall turned on her heels and marched toward her office. Pansy and Blaine were the ones to opened the door and the rest of us piled in after. The walls were a mix of gold and green, with red and brown furniture. The carpet was black and there were seven doors all around the room, they were our rooms which we were paired up into before, the names of the pairs were on the door. Mine and Draco's room was in between Blaise and Ron and Pansy and Hermione. "Mate I'm so sorry." Ron said. Obviously I was confused and he saw that. "Rooming with Draco?" He explained. "Oh, no I'm not that upset. We made a truce on the train." I smiled at Ron. He looked at me with an expression like I had just told him I fucked a monkey, before he turned to find Hermione. I went and sat on the little couch beside Blaise and Pansy, Ron and Hermione sat across from us. We talked and surprisingly got on really well.

Draco's POV

I went to mine and Harry's room and slammed the door, I was pissed off about the 'No quidditch' rule. I can't believe she would do that, quidditch was the only thing I could do right, other than school work, but that's not the point. I was so frustrated, that I forgot to check out the room before I lay face down on a green bed that was obviously mine. There was one other double bed, one with red covers, which was Harry's. The walls were a nice beige colour with black borders around the windows, and there were two closets, one gold and one silver on either side of the door. We also had a bathroom, it had black and grey as the colour scheme with red and green towels. My bags were already at the foot of my bed, the green one, so I decided to unpack all my clothes.

I was sitting with my bags beside, me in front of the cupboard, folding my muggle clothes and spare robes. I was singing a muggle song, which was annoyingly stuck in my head all day, I was relieved when I could finally let it out.

"All lone as you look through the door
Nothing Left to see
If it hurts you can't take no more
Lay it all on me

No you don't have to keep it under lock and key
'Cause I will never let you down
And if you can escape all your uncertainties
Baby I can show you how

Let my love in, let me love in
Lay your heart on me
If your hurting, if your hurting
Lay it all on me
You can lay it all on me
You can lay it all on me
If your hurting, if your hurting
Lay it all on me"

If your scared when your out on your own
Just remember me
'Cause I won't let you go, let alone
Lay it all on me.

And that was when I realised Harry was sitting on his bed listening to me, I blushed scarlet. When did he even come in? "How much of that did you hear?" I asked him. "Pretty much all of it"he said with a smirk. "Oh."

Harry's POV

Ron, Hermione, Blaise, Pansy and I, sat in the common room and just chatted about anything and everything, for a while after Draco slammed the door of our dorm."okay. Think it's safe yet?" I asked Pansy. "He should be okay now, just take it slow." She replied and I nodded before I headed to the door. I opened it slowly to hear  Draco singing. Wait is that a muggle song? I walked across the room slowly, and sat on my bed, he hadn't noticed me yet. I smirked and listen, Draco has an amazing voice.

"If your hurting, if your hurting
Lay it all on me
You can lay it all on me
You can lay it all on me
If your hurting, if your hurting
Lay it all on me

If your scared when your out on your own
Just remember me
'Cause I won't let you go, let alone
Lay it all on me"

Than Draco finally saw me. "How much of that did you hear?" He asked. "Pretty much all of it." I replied and I saw his blush. "Oh." He said shyly. "You know, you can actually sing really well." I complimented."You don't think I know that Potter." He stood up and smirked at me. God, that smirk makes me weak. "Well I'm sorry for being nice." I said with my words dripping in sarcasm and folded my arms." Whatever Potter, I'm going to have a shower." He walked to the bathroom and closed the door. I sighed, well that went well. Stripped down to my boxers and an old muggle shirt and climbed into bed, after I unpacked my belongings.

An hour later Draco came out of the bathroom with only a towel on and saw that I was in bed, he thought I was asleep, so I let him think that as he got dressed and got into bed. I don't think either of us slept that night. But I couldn't sleep, thoughts of Draco kept me awake, though I didn't understand at first but by the end of the night I had accepted that I had feelings for Draco Malloy.
