The Drarry Files

THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (American Edition)

Okay literally on the 6th page harry is already thinking about draco and he's not even at hogwarts yet:

‘What wouldn’t he give now for a message from Hogwarts? From any witch or wizard? He’d almost be glad of a sight of his archenemy, Draco Malfoy, just to be sure it hadn’t all been a dream. . . .’

There's soo many moments where harry thinks stuff about draco that a person simply doesn’t usually think about their rival, this being one of those moments. While harry is trapped with the dursleys he doesn’t think about finally seeing ron or hermione again, but thinks that he would “almost be glad” to see draco again..
Again, it’s open for interpretation, but I find it a bit odd that harry was thinking about him even before hogwarts, don’t you? ;))

While talking to Harry, Dobby reveals that he has heard a few things about harry potter, one of them being:
“Harry Potter asks if he can help Dobby . . . Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir, but of your goodness, Dobby never knew. . . .”

Hmm..Dobby had only been staying with the Malfoy’s for practically his entire life..
This isn’t specifically a drarry moment but
You have to wonder, where did he hear these things from?
Draco is certainly a possibility

And when fred and george are asking harry if he thinks dobby warning him about going back to hogwarts was a joke they ask if there’s anyone that could have a grudge against him..

“Can you think of anyone at school with a grudge against you?”
“Yes,” said Harry and Ron together, instantly.
“Draco Malfoy,” Harry explained. “He hates me.”

At 1st glance this doesn’t really seem like much, just your typical school rivalry..
But if you look a little deeper, harry says “he hates me”
He could have just as easily said “i hate him” instead, right? Does he only believe draco hates him while not even hating him himself?
Although, judging by how much draco wanted to be harry’s friend from the beginning, i really dont think draco hates him either, even if harry thinks that.

And now one of all drarry shippers favorite scenes:
The floo-powder diagon alley disaster:

‘Harry made his way swiftly and silently toward the door, but before he’d got halfway toward it, two people appeared on the other side of the glass — and one of them was the very last person Harry wanted to meet when he was lost, covered in soot, and wearing broken glasses: Draco Malfoy.’

A very similar quote to in first year when harry didn't want to embarrass himself in front of draco playing quidditch..
I wouldn’t want my crush to see me in a state like that, and I believe this situation really shows that harry cares what draco thinks of him above all others
I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t care if my enemy saw me looking like that, but if my crush saw me like that oh god..

And of bloody course harry doesn't leave as soon as he sees draco, he proceeds to spy on him (6th year, anyone?)
And overhears this line, aka the HOLY GRAIL for drarry shippers:

“. . . everyone thinks he’s so smart, wonderful Potter with his scar and his broomstick —”
“You have told me this at least a dozen times already,” said Mr. Malfoy, with a quelling look at his son.’

This line is beautiful, I love how Lucius literally has to interrupt him to make sure he doesn’t rant on and on about lovely saint potter.
Like lucius is just so done with draco’s shit, its fucking hilarious.
And the fact that lucius is so annoyed with the over a DOZEN times draco has ranted about potty over the summer
I’m actually so done like, draco just said a bunch of COMPLIMENTS about his “arch enemy”
And not to mention how harry is just watching this entire interaction play out, its glorious

Okay this is a very small detail but:

“Bet you loved that, didn’t you, Potter?” said a voice Harry had no trouble recognizing.’

I love how harry can recognize draco's voice right away even after the whole summer, like sometimes i forget what my own friends voices sound like but he can recognize his rivals voice right away? (okay then, harry)
