The morning after Harry woke up early and decided to get some homework done, but before he started he decided to do a quick trip to the kitchen
When he returned with some cookies he took a seat at the table where he had dumped his books and started to work trough his transfigurations essay that was due to Monday. A movement on his right caught his eye and he noticed Malfoy sitting on one of the tables
- What are you looking at Potter
- Nothing special Malfoy, how long have you been here
- Since you came in
They both went back to the things they did before their short conversation
- Why did you do it
- What?
- On the first night
He sounded so desperate that Harry just couldn't ignore his question
- I have no idea, it just made me so angry that you said such things about yourself when you didn't have a choice in the matter
- How do you know, maybe it was my biggest dream to become a death eater
- I don't know you well, but I know you are not evil
Out of nowhere he rolled up his sleeve and pointed at the faded mark
- You say I'm not evil but this, this shows that I'm one of them
- Draco it does not, I know you didn't want to take it, I know you were forced
He looked at the boy in front of him and saw the tears that threatened to fall
- Does it hurt
- It kinda burns, it's like it want me to remember his downfall
- Can I try something
When he didn't get an answer from the blond Harry raised and walked over to him. He sat down on his knees in front of Draco and took his arm. He focused on the snake
~Wake up~
Soon the snake moved a bit
~Can you disappear~
~I can not do that~
~Can you hide or move~
~No only my maker can make me move or disappear~
~Can you at least stop burn~
~I can do that for you~
~That would be awesome~
~I just need you to but your finger on my head and focus your magic on me~
Harry did as told and when he heard a gasp from Draco he guessed it had stopped
- How, how, it doesn't feel at all
He stretched his hand as to try if it really didn't hurt
- Thank you so much, I know you maybe don't want to but ehh
- I can do it on Professor Snape to if you want to
The light in Draco's eyes made Harry smile
- We can do it after breakfast
- I don't think you understand how much it will mean to him. I'm really sorry for how I have behaved over the years, I hope we can start this over again
- I would enjoy that
They both went back to their studying but now they shared a table
One hour later students started to drop in and leave for breakfast
- Good morning Harry
- Morning Hermione
Without a single thought she sat down at their table
- Good morning Malfoy
Draco looked up, surprised that she had talked to him
- Good morning Granger
Minutes later came Pansy and joined them, and then Blaise and Ron. None of them questioning why the hell they sat at the same table, but Ron gave Hermione a confused look
- Ready for breakfast
- Sure
None of them really knew how to behave so no one really started a conversation for the first ten minutes before Ron and Blaise started to talk about quidditch and the rest soon followed their lead and started to get to know each other
