Unrequited Love (Drarry Fanfic)

Chapter Four - The Lockdown

Harry couldn't help feeling like there was an invisible force that kept pushing him and Draco together, into these... strange situations.

Harry's stomach lurched at the idea of sleeping next to Draco Malfoy. Frozen in place, he stared at the back of the blonde boys head.
Blinking slowly, Harry turned to his friends and nudged Hermione's shoulder.
Hermione put her finger up to him without breaking contact with her book.
Her eyes moved down the page until she reached the end of the paragraph. Finally, she shut the book and looked to Harry, who was practically shaking from impatience.

"Yes, Harry?" She smiled, obviously annoyed to be taken from her studies.
"Can we please move," Harry whispered, trying to conceal his voice from Draco's reach, which was difficult at this close of a distance.
"Uh- Sorry Harry, I am already all settled, and it would be much too difficult to haul all my books to another place" Hermione explained, before putting her face back in a book; indicating the conversation was over.
"-Ask Ron," she added, Harry sighed. Crawling around Hermione to Ron, he frantically tugged Ron's sleeve.
"Ron!" Harry whispered, grasping for his friend's attention, which was currently occupied by a Ravenclaw girl; Penny.
"Mate, it's important" Harry shoved Ron's shoulder, finally getting the ginger to acknowledge him
"... what!" Ron groaned, smiling apologetically at Penny.

"We have to move, my sleeping bags right next to.." Harry paused and pointed past Hermione to Draco's back.

"But-" Ron looked at Penny and blushed "I can't move mate, Sorry," Ron said quickly, obviously not wanting to leave the Ravenclaw girls side.

"Then switch spots with me!" Harry begged, but Ron looked disgusted by the offer. "Certainly not."

Harry was growing impatient with his friends, did they not realize the urgency!

"Ask Hermione," Ron added, turning his attention back to Penny.

"But I already-..." Harry groaned exaggeratedly, shuffling back to his sleeping bag he made one last attempt on Hermione.
But before he could get a word out Hermione spoke "I didn't realize you wanted to move because of Malfoy" Hermione started, and Harry smiled assuming she would move with him now. "-you'll be fine Harry, Draco wouldn't dare do anything with Dumbledore around. We are also surrounded by prefects."

Harry frowned, that wasn't what he wanted her to say.

"But I can't sleep next to him," Harry's voice was strained.

"Why not?" Hermione questioned, seeming intrigued. "Are you really that afraid of what he might do?" She asked

I'm afraid of what I might do.

Harry sucked in a sharp breath; he hated when his mind surprised him with such stupid thoughts.

"I'm moving" Harry ignored Hermione's question and began to pack up, he was going to sleep with the other Gryffindors. Anything was better than sleeping next to Malfoy.
Hermione looked guilty, and she eyed Harry as he began to roll up his sleeping bag.

"'Ello, Potter. I thought I smelt something foul. Decided to sleep next to me, have you?" Draco's voice sent a chill down Harry's back; he felt like a puppy caught doing something it's not supposed too. Harry refused to look up. But in just one step Draco was standing beside him, Harry stared at his shoes.
Before rolling up the rest of his bag with shaking hands, Harry then stood. Coming face to face with Draco who's grin sent a hard blow against his chest.

"Shove off Malfoy, as if I'd ever sleep next to you-"
Harry stumbled a few feet away, looking for the Gryffindors but stopped when he heard Dumbledores voice.
"Time for bed children, settle in those comfy bags and dream of tomorrows adventures."
