Harry POV September 2nd 1998
The bright sun streamed through the large glass windows on the other side of the room waking me up. After last night I decided to just stay down the stairs and attempt to sleep on the dusty couch. I ended up staying awake and looking into the fire for most of the night. Just thinking. I find that sometimes I just need to think. After fighting it for a while I finally fell asleep at around 4 am but now I'm back awake as the sun rises. The rest of the school started lessons today but the 7th and 8th years start tomorrow, apparently it's so we can get ready and catch up with those we hadn't seen since the war. Anyway most of the 8th years should still be asleep so I decided to quickly get ready before I ran into anyone.
As expected the bathroom was completely empty and I quickly peeled off my clothes and jumped into the shower. The water was cold but soon began to rise in temperature. I was only in the shower for a small amount of time not wanting to take to long. I grabbed my clothes and began to slowly put them on, I was about to put my hoodie on when the door swung open and a tall blonde, who looked as if he hasn't slept a day in his life, walked in. "Morning" he said in a monotone voice hardly looking my direction, "uhh, morning" I replied nervously. I don't know why I got nervous it just happened. I mean it's just Malfoy there is no need to get nervous, he's not going to throw a hex at me, at least I don't think he is.
Obviously I was thinking for to long and he began to notice. "You gonna put a shirt on are you just going to stare at the wall a bit longer" he said sarcastically but not in a mean way. "oh yeah, I..urr...I forgot about that" I flushed a dark red and quickly pulled the hoodie over my bare chest and moved closer to the mirror to fix my hair. The shower door closed behind me and I heard the water start.
The brush hardly made a difference in my hair before I gave up and placed it back on the sink and stared into the mirror. The circles under my eyes where getting bigger and my frame was just getting smaller. I didn't mean to get so skinny, it just happened, like many things in my life. The shower stopped behind me and I realized I been in here for a while and I quickly decided to brush my teeth and leave. I looked back into the mirror and took a deep breath. Tonight. I thought. I'll sleep tonight. And i'll eat some dinner as well, I couldn't let myself get any worse than I already looked.
"Intrigued in your own reflection are you" from the mirror I saw Draco leave the shower cubical with tight skinny jeans on and a plain white t-shirt in his hand. Oh my lord. I squirted toothpaste onto the toothbrush in my hand trying to ignore the boys hard abs behind me. "I was thinking" I responded quietly putting the brush in my mouth. He pulled his shirt over his head and walked over to the sink beside me and started running his hand through his wet hair. "must have been thinking very hard, you're obviously not used to that are you" he laughed a genuine laugh that wasn't taunting or rude, I laughed with him and soon threw a towel at his head "shut up" I laughed. Soon enough the door swung open and someone else joined us, pulling the both of us out of our laughing fit and back into silence. "Hey Harry" the boy said before adding a glace beside me " morning Malfoy" he said almost unsure. "Hey Dean, sleep well?" I replied trying to start up a conversation, "yeah fine, you" I put on a smile and quickly replied with a quick "yeah same." Soon after I packed up my stuff and walked down to pretend to eat an early breakfast.

The rest of the day was uneventful, I just ended up staying in the dorm with the boys and we all played wizards chess. Even Blaise and Nott joined in towards the end of the day and it seemed everyone was starting to finally get along, although Malfoy was no where to been seen, i just brushed it off and kept playing. The sun began to set and i realized I wanted to go on walk and just clear my head. "Ah guys, i'm just going to go for a walk" I stood up from the circle we had seated ourselves in started for the door, "ok, dinner is soon, don't miss it" I heard someone behind me say, most probably Neville.
