See where this is going?

This is not based at Hogwarts but the Malfoy Manor.

~~~~~~~

Harry stands outside with Draco at the Malfoy Manor. "Your father's gonna kill me..." "He won't..." Harry swallows hard and Draco smiles. "You'll be okay..." The gate opens and they walk to the door. Draco lets go of Harry's hand. Harry walks beside him. "Draco? You home?" 

"Yes, mother..." Narcissa walks over and hugs him. She turns to Harry. "Oh, Harry... we've, well, I have heard so much about you... spending the night?" "Yes, Mrs. Malfoy..." "Please call me Narcissa..." Harry smiles. They head to the dining room. Harry sits down. 

Draco sits down next to Harry. They hear footsteps and Harry can feel his nerves building. Draco places his hand on Harry's thigh. Harry tries to settle his nerves. Another chair pulls out and his father sits. Harry looks at him. Lucius has a displeased look on his face. "Father..." 

"Why is Potter here?" Harry looks up. "Mrs. Malfoy, may I be excused..." She nods. Harry gets up and leaves the dining room. He goes to the living room. He sits on the emerald green couch. He knew coming here was a mistake. He hears footsteps and looks up. He sees Lucius and gets up. 

He makes his way to the door and leaves. He starts walking away. "Harry!" Harry turns around and sees Draco, looking at him. Harry shakes his head. Draco runs over to him. He hugs him. "Don't leave..." "Draco..." Draco hugs him tighter. "Draco!" Draco lets go and turns to his father.  

"Tell Potter he has to go..." Draco turns to Harry. Harry nods and leaves. He walks away. Draco wants to run after Harry. "Come on Draco... the house-elves are serving dinner..." Draco looks down and they walk inside. Draco sits at the table. He doesn't move to touch his food. "Draco?" 

Draco gets up and leaves. He goes to his room. He was planning on having Harry here the whole summer. Draco changes and heads to bed. Nothing to stay up for. There's a knock. "Leave me alone..." "Draco?" "What." Draco stays facing the wall. "You okay?" "Leave me alone..." 

The door closes.

Draco wakes up. He looks at the time, 2:36. He gets up and changes. He leaves his room. "Morning Draco..." Draco stays quiet. "Draco... talk to your mother when she talks to you..." Draco stays quiet. He sees the breakfast and doesn't move to touch it. Lucius scoffs. "Dobby!" 

The little house-elf comes over. "Y-Yes master?" "Clean up the table..." "Y-Yes master... b-but young Malfoy hasn't eaten..." "Clean the table!" Dobby cleans it. Draco watches and his father leaves. Draco gets up and collects the dishes. Dobby watches. "Young Malfoy..." 

Draco ignores him and turns the sink on. He starts washing the dishes. Dobby watches. Draco wipes at his eyes. He doesn't want to seem weak in front of their house-elf. "Malfoy needs a hug..." Dobby jumps up on the counter. He hugs Draco. Draco feels tears falling. 

"Oh... Dobby... I miss Harry..." "Dobby misses Harry too Sir..." Draco wipes his hands and hugs Dobby. Draco lets go. "I'm going to my room..." Dobby lets go. "Okay, sir..." Draco goes up there and sits on his bed. He opens his bedside table drawer and takes out a few pictures of them. 

None of their years until mid-sixth year and the seventh year at Hogwarts, they didn't get along... it wasn't until the middle of their seventh year, they ended up together. It was a great moment as well. Draco can still remember it...
