Harry's POV

His silver eyes flashed lightly as they darted between the two people that sat with him. His white hair combed and styled to perfection. A smirk grazed his soft pink lips that stood out across his pale and fair skin.

I couldn't take my eyes off of the immense beauty that sat only two tables away from mine. He seemed so peaceful at the moment, talking and laughing with his two best friends, Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini.

His skin glowed under the candles that floated in the enchanted sky above everyone in the room.

"Harry! Harry! Are you listening!?" My focus stripped from the boy I had grown to watch while sitting in the Great Hall during meals.

"Sorry 'Mione, what did you say?" I looked over to the bushy haired girl who glared at me for ignoring her.

"I asked if you finished your homework from over summer vacation?" I froze. Homework. Damnit. I completely forgot that Snape likes giving homework over the breaks.

Not that it would have mattered much, seeing as the Dursley's hide anything they find 'freakish' away from me, including the homework.

"No. I didn't." I told her honestly.

She huffed. "Snape's really gonna be on your case this time. I don't think you've ever completed a homework assignment that he's given us for break." She crossed her arms.

It's not like I had a choice in the matter.
I thought to myself.

I glared at her for a moment before shrugging my shoulders and going back to staring at the Platinum blonde haired boy across the room.

He got up out of his seat and left the room, leaving his two best friends alone.

That's odd of him.

"Are you alright Harry?" Ron asked, elbowing my side gently.

"Course!" I told him.

He gave me a hesitant look before turning back to the pile of food in front of him.

I had lost my appetite and stood to leave the room.

"Where're you going?" Ron asked.

"Just for a walk, catch all of you in the common room." I replied as I walked out of the Great Hall.

I've known I've had a huge crush on Malfoy since forever, maybe even since first year, it now being our sixth, but he hates my guts.

Why I had to fall for someone like him is beyond me. I think life just likes handing me a bad deck of cards for the hell of it.

I mean, not only are we enemies, but I'm pretty sure he has a crush on Parkinson.

It pained me to even think about it, but it's reality. I don't really have much of a choice.

"Oi Potter! Where's your band of followers?! Did they finally realize how dumb you are?" Malfoy sneered.

I made eye contact with him for a mere second before casting my gaze downwards. There was nothing but pure hatred in his eyes as he looked at me. "Shove off Malfoy!" I replied. I turned on my feet in an attempt to get away from the git.

See what I mean? I have no idea why I'm so attracted to the blonde Slytherin.

"But that would be no fun!" He shouted, following me down the hall.

I sighed. "I could be asking you the same thing, Malfoy." It's odd to see him roaming the halls without his two best friends.

"I asked first, now didn't I?"

I rolled my eyes. "Go away."

"Make me." I stopped in my tracks and turned to him. He had a challenging smirk across his face.

My gaze went down to his lips. Oh how I longed to kiss them.

No! Harry! Stop! This is not the time!

But I couldn't help myself as I took him all in. He was much taller than me, probably by a good few inches. His Slytherin robes clung to his body perfectly in a way that displayed he had absolute confidence. A confidence I've grown to admire.

If only I could walk and stand with the kind of dignity he has. I have a tendency to slouch and my clothes have never fit right, probably because I lose a lot of weight when I'm with the Dursley's.

I focused back on the gits eyes when I saw a mixture of confusion and shock coursing through the mix of silver.

His mouth parted slightly.

Oh no. Did he notice me checking him out? This is not good! Not good at all!

His lips formed that smirk again as he read the panic on my face. "See something you like?" He sneered.

I didn't reply. I simply turned back around and continued on my walk.

What if he tells the whole school that I have a crush on him? What am I going to do? Not even Ron or Hermione know that I'm gay, let alone that I'm in love with Malfoy.

I made my way up to the astronomy tower where I spent several hours just gazing at the stars.

When class is not in session this is one of the most peaceful places to be at. Especially at the start of the year.

When it started getting chilly I decided to head to the common room as it was almost curfew.

When I got there, Ron and Hermione bombarded me with questions as to where I have been.

I didn't lie. I simply told them I needed somewhere to think and went up to the astronomy tower.

Ok, so not a complete lie.

The three of us sat down on the floor next to the fire and talked about the exciting things happening this year. Hermione went on about our new potions and charms text books and the interesting things she found inside them. While Ron talked and strategized this year's Quidditch tournaments.

It was nice to get my mind off of Malfoy for awhile, especially after everything that had happened in the hall only hours ago.

Granted, talking about text books was boring, but talking about Quidditch definitely kept me distracted until the three of us called it a night.

Ron and I made our way up to the boys dorms and changed into our nightly clothes before snuggling up in our beds and falling asleep.

Well, Ron fell asleep rather quickly. Me on the other hand, did not. I've never been one to fall asleep very quickly. It takes me forever to get comfortable, but I guess that's expected after years of nightmares and sleeping in tiny places. I've never really felt safe sleeping, even in the comforts of the Burrow or Hogwarts.
