Harry's POV

When we arrived at the Astronomy Tower, both Draco and I sit at the corner of the tower, looking at the sky. It was still afternoon and it's a lovely day. We sat there in silent for some minutes admiring the view from the tower. 

"Dray, are you staying at Hogwarts for Christmas?" I asked. "I'm not sure, I kind of want to see my mother but um, going to the manor will bring back bad memories for me. But if it isn't for my mom, I would probably stay here. It's better too because I got you to talk to.". I nodded without looking at him. I was fluttered that he enjoy talking to me.

"What about you? Are you going to the Weasley's? Oh and by the way, what's up with you and she-Weasley? Aew you both not on speaking term anymore? I thought you and her are couple but I didn't see you to communicating much.". I look up and saw Draco's beautiful grey eyes staring at mine. 

"She-Weasley? As in Ginny?" Draco nod. "Oh, please don't call her that, Dray. And yes, we were couple but I broke up with her, since before school started because I don't think I have any romantic feelings for her anymore. As for your first question, I think I'm staying at Hogwarts with Ron and Hermione." I said.

"Oh, okay. I think I'll just stay at Hogwarts. It's kind of lonely at the manor. Besides, my mother don't talk much anymore since... uh since my father was sent to Azkaban.". I stare at Draco who's head is now looking down. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Dray. Please don't be sad. I'll always be here for you, okay? You can talk to me whenever you want, I'll be by your side.". I hugged him without thinking and after few seconds, he hugged me back. It was comforting and warm. "Thanks, Harry. You're the best friend I could ever have, you know? But please don't tell Pansy and Blaise I said that. They might kill me". I shivered as he whispered in my ear and laughed.

I pulled away from the hug and stare at him. How could I not notice all those years how handsome he is? It killed me to think that I could never be with him. I wonder how would he react if I told him I like him. He would probably stay away from me and would never be my friend anymore and I don't want that to happen. I'm lucky enough just to be friend with him. Who could have known that my own ex enemy is now my crush?

I look away from him after what feels like minutes staring at each other, scared that I might lean in to kiss him. When I look away, I could feel that he's still staring at me and when I look at him, he is staring at me. "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" I quickly rubbed my face with my sleeve. Then he finally spoke, "Yes, your face is full of cuteness." he said quietly but I managed to hear it. I blink looking at him. "Wh-what?". He just called me cute, blimey. "What? Oh nothing I said nothing." he said as he quickly look away from me. I could feel myself blushing. Then again, we sat in silent for like 2 minutes enjoying the view. We then talked bout some nonsense and sometimes bringing up our memories of fighting(sometimes we laughed when we talked about a fight over something small). Then, we finally decided to go back to our common room because it's getting cold.

"Come on Dray, let's go" I said standing up while taking his hand. I froze for a second at my action but didn't let go. Instead, I intertwined our hands and walk away to the common room. I was scared that Draco might let go but he didn't. I caught him staring and smiled at me as our eyes locked. I was happy and surprised that he didn't let go. I'm probably blushing too much right now.

When we enter the common room, I saw Hermione, Pansy, Ron and Blaise staring at us. Pansy and Hermione now looking at each other, smirking. Blaise gave us a confused look and asked, "Er, are you two, umm a thing? Maybe?". I quickly said no but Blaise seemed to not believe me. "Then why are you two holding hands?" he aked again. I realized that I still haven't let go, so I let go of Draco's hand. This time it was Draco who replied. "We're just friends Blaise.". "I'm sorry but, are friends supposed to hold hands? I don't think I've ever hold your hand too. Are you sure you're not a thing because I swear if you two are a thing, I'll kill you for not letting me know." 

I saw Draco rolled his eyes and sighed. "No, Blaise. I assure you, we're not 'a thing'. Now drop it.". I don't know why but I was hurt by Draco's  word. Why am I like this? Merlin, I'm acting like a child. After a while of sitting in silent, Hermione suggest a game to play, which is 'Never Have You Ever'. Pansy asked "Never have you ever liked a boy?". Those who have drink a sip of butterbeer which Blaise got from his mom. I hesitated then drink. I was shocked to see Draco took a sip too. Ron and Blaise didn't take a sip. Then, I thought that this must have been a way for Hermione to drop a clue for Draco that I like a boy. It was genius, but mad.

"Blimey, Draco! You're gay? How come you've never told me you git?!" said Blaise. "Well, 'sorry' for not telling you but it's just been a while since I like a boy." said Draco. Merlin, Draco has a crush on a boy. Meaning, I have a chance, don't I? At least I now know that he's not straight. "Well, who is it, Draco?" asked Blaise. "I'll tell you later." 

"Why not tell us now? Is it someone here? Since you'll tell Blaise, of course it's not Blaise, isn't it? So who? I just hope it's not me." snapped Ron. I laughed when Draco said "No, it's not you Ron. Never in my dream would I like you. No offence though."

It's now my turn to asked, so I said "Never have I ever snog someone.". Surprisingly, everyone took a sip. Even Hermione, but I figured that it must've been Ron. 

"Never have I ever failed terribly while trying to impress someone."- no one

"Never have I ever get rejected by someone."- Blaise and Pansy drink

"Never have I ever think why Voldemort doesn't have a nose."- Everyone drink and laughed loudly that they annoyed some people in the common room.

"Never have I ever imagined how it would be if Voldemort kissed someone."- Ron(the one who asked) and Blaise drink while everyone else is now trying to imagine it.

The rest of the game turned out to be really weird with the Voldemort questions. We had fun laughing at the thought of Voldemort pleasuring himself or someone else. Some might thought that we're mad for making fun of the so called Dark Lord(like, he can't even take over a SCHOOL even after years of trying to ruin it) but we're just some teens who needs to entertain ourselves with weird things, right? When the butterbeer was almost finished, we stopped and have normal conversations. Once in some times, we'd laughed loudly until some people who's trying to do their homework went somewhere else. When someone glare at us, Pansy and Draco would glare back even if it's not right. Hermione of course doesn't approve of it but finally gave up when the two friends were being stubborn.

Little did they know, I'm still in a deep thought about earlier when Draco and I were holding hands. It was probably the best memory that I have with him, and I know that it might never happen again.
