Harry Potter POV

It was after school hours and it had been the most horrible day. I had failed defeating a boggart several times, my broom was damaged, and you know maybe the fact that the guardians of the school are TRYING TO FUCKING MURDER ME, and the old dude running this shit show is letting them just HANGOUT around the school. Great right? Well despite fainting several times I wasn't going to let this day go to the gutters so I went back to Professor Lupin's class, the wardrobe was still there. It was rattling and shaking with no one else around to tell me not to be stupid.

"Hello!," I called out just to be sure that no one else was in the room.

I heard no reply so I pulled out my wand and approached the wardrobe," Alright enough of this Boggart Bullshit." I mutter as I mentally prepare myself for the impact.


Draco POV

"Hello!"

I heard the familiar sound of Harry's voice echoing in the classroom. I had been in the room waiting for Lupin to come back to give him a piece of my mind. He put the students in complete danger, especially Potter. Not that I care about those mutts, but the damn kid fainted and Lupin still proceeded to let him go at it after eating some chocolate?!?

Anyways, I was curious as to what Potter could possibly be doing back in here so I sneaked around the room without making a sound and saw the dumb ass going towards the shaking wardrobe. He couldn't really be so stupid could he?

I watched closely, being engaged in his every movement, the way his eyes glimmered with fearlessness and determination and his eyebrows furrowed as if it gave him strength, how precious.... he thinks he's really going to do it this time. I felt like yelling at him to stop, half because I knew that nothing good could from this and the other half because thinking "I'm better than I actually am "is my brand ,not his! While I was getting lost in my thoughts I heard a blood curdling screech. From the few seconds I looked away from Potter he had already managed to scare himself. I ran into action, working to get the boggart back into the closet before it could completely ruin him and before I could see it myself.  It wasn't too hard for me, despite popular belief I had some sort of talent in me. Once the boggart was secured and chained back into the wardrobe I turn, breathless and meet eyes with a speechless Harry.

" You're a fucking dumbass," I say coldly to break the silence before giving him my back.

He still wasn't speaking," you know I wasn't trying to save you or anything, I just wanted to get some practice in," I was lying.

I turn back to see if the brat was even still there, he just seemed stunned. I walked closer to him waving my hand in front of his face," helloooo earth to Potter." 

 Harry glares at me grabbing my hand and pushing it away," whatever, I could've done it if you let me." 

' well excuse me for not just letting you die!," I raise my voice at him. No one gets to get angry at me like that and not expect something back .

" why do you even care! Move out of my way blondie, why don't you go hangout with your pureblood friends," He spits back with genuine anger and sass. 

I sigh, in defeat. Yes, I Draco Malfoy, somehow care enough about a human life to drop a sass battle. Harry tries to push past me and get to the wardrobe.

"alright jelly bean calm down," I say mockingly as I grab his shoulders and guide him away from it. 

So not everyone likes to be called Jelly bean apparently because in response he shoved me back, causing me to fall back onto the wardrobe. I fumbled to hold it up and not let it fall which I somehow managed to do.

" alright potter is that how you want to play it," I angrily furrow my eyebrows together and pull out my wand, only to see that between me and the wardrobe it had got snapped in half. 

I groan in anger," fuck, see! Look what you did! This is what I get for trying to care ab-."

I stopped myself,did I really just admit OUT LOUD, that I care about him?

Harry definitely heard it too because his expression softened," you care about me!!," he repeats teasingly with a laugh. 

I roll my eyes and start to walk away.

But harry follows me, walking in front of me" I knew it." 

" you what? How could yo-. I mean, I don't care about you okay I... care about the school's safety code. yeah." I say confidently crossing my arms,fake it ti'll you make it.

Harry cocks an eyebrow at me with a small smirk playing on his lips," Mhm alright whatever you say Draco." 

" JUST BECAUSE I WAS FOLLOWING THE SAFETY CODE DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE ON A FIRST NAME BASIS," I say quickly as I began to rush towards the door, embarrassed of the events that had just occurred.

" alright ..." Harry trails closely behind me until I reach the hallway. He stops at the door and I stopped in the hall.

"Hey... I safety code you too," he says in a softer voice giving a friendly small smile, but avoiding any eye contact. 


I sigh, trying to let go of my frustration with myself," alright Potter,  you're coming with me because I don't trust you here alone," I state in a serious softer voice.

 Harry simply laughs at my 100% serious comment as we both strolled down the hall and out of the building.
