Confidential Lover

Chapter 10

Harry sat in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express across from Ron and Hermione. He held the heavy gold coin in his hand and tossed it up in the air a couple times. Hermione had suggested him to put it away until they got back to school so that a professor can look at it (it could have been cursed for all they knew) but Harry, like most times, ignored her.

"What do you reckon it is?" Ron asked, sitting up from the cushioned seat.

Harry shrugged his shoulders. "Dunno. Looks like an ordinary galleon to me."

"Well maybe it's enchanted. Like the ones we used for the D.A?" Hermione suggested.

Harry never thought about that. She could be right; it could be a way of communicating top secret information to Harry, but if it was, who would have given it to him and what would it be for? "Maybe." Harry said shortly.

"It could be from Wilkins to use in IRS." Ron suggested, but he was quickly shut down by Hermione, whose curly hair bounced as she shook her head.

"No, then we would have gotten one too. And it probably would have been signed by her. Harry's was anonymous."

Harry wrapped his fingers tightly around the galleon and rested his head back against the seat. He closed his eyes and thought about nothing in particular, hoping to get some sleep before returning to school. Suddenly, Harry heard heavy, obnoxious footsteps growing louder as they approached the compartment. He sat up and looked to his friends.

"Whoever is stomping like a hippogriff down the corridor needs to stop before I go out there and hex them." Harry said, suddenly feeling very irritable.

Ron stifled a laugh, as did Hermione, but stopped when the footsteps did as a figure appeared through the drawn shade outside the compartment door. "What now?" Harry complained.

The door slid open to reveal none other than Draco Malfoy in his chic black suit and glory. He looked just as good as when Harry had last seen him...

"What do you want, Malfoy?" Harry said, still holding the galleon.

Malfoy glanced down to the shimmering coin in Harry's hand so briefly that you would have missed it unless you were really paying attention to his eyes, and looked back up to Harry, who's eyes met his at the same exact time. "I need a word."

Harry stayed put and rolled his eyes. "Okay." he said, but after a few awkward seconds of silence, he added, "I'm listening, Malfoy."

"I meant alone." Malfoy sneered. Harry let out an aggravated sigh and got up, following Malfoy out of his compartment into another one. It was full of first years, but all it took was for Malfoy to say 'Leave' and out they went. He pulled Harry in by his sleeve and locked the compartment door, drawing the shade as well.

He pulled out an object from his pocket wrapped in a black handkerchief. He unwrapped it carefully and held it out in front of him. It was a piece of a mirror, similar to the one he had from Sirius. Harry looked at it, felt his face heat up, and looked at Malfoy.

"What is this, Potter?" Malfoy asked rather calmly.

"I have no idea." Harry said.

Malfoy stepped a bit closer to Harry and said, "Yes you do. I know you gave this to me. What is it?"

Harry, although slightly uncomfortable with their proximity, remained in the same spot. "I told you I don't know." Malfoy narrowed his eyes.

"Don't lie to me. Only you would give something this stupid as a gift, Potter." he said, his voice rougher than it was five seconds ago.

Harry took a deep breath. "It's a piece of a mirror. Surely you could have figured that out." he spat.

"Why did you give it to me? My parents told me to throw it out because it's a piece of garbage that doesn't belong in our house. We only have the most expensive things, surely you should have figured that out." Malfoy said.

"Why did you keep it then Malfoy?" Harry asked, getting more and more irritated. Malfoy didn't answer him right away and Harry couldn't help but think it's because Malfoy's secretly in love with him, which technically is true according to the secret conversation between Malfoy and his friend.

"I looked in it on my way to the garbage can and something caught my eye." Malfoy said. "At first I thought my mind was playing tricks on me but then I saw your scar. Why are you spying on me?"

Harry's heart skipped a beat. "You saw my scar?"

"Why are you spying on me, Potter? Trying to see how much better my life is than yours?" Malfoy asked smugly.

Harry snorted. "Please, I hardly consider spending time with Lucius Malfoy a better life than mine. Besides, I'm not spying on you, you idiot. It's a mirror not a telescope." he said sarcastically.

Malfoy wrapped the mirror up again with the handkerchief and stowed it back into his pocket. He then grabbed Harry's shoulders and walked him backwards until he hit the wall of the compartment. 

Harry's heart was racing now, and his face definitely reddened. "Malfoy, what are you-"

Harry was cut off by Malfoy's lips connecting to his, and he for some unknown reason kissed Malfoy back. It was a rough kiss with lots of urgency behind it. Malfoy had his arms on either side of Harry, and Harry had his hands on Malfoy's neck, pulling him in closer.

This was very wrong, but Harry couldn't stop. Malfoy made him feel good, and if this was wrong then he didn't want to be right. His uncontrollable teenage hormones started to kick in and his mind wandered to things they might do in IRS for their next class, and Harry involuntarily let out a needy moan.

Malfoy pulled away, breathing hard, and looked Harry straight in the eye. "Don't get too excited, Potter. We haven't got that far into out lessons yet." he said with a wink, and strutted out of the compartment, leaving Harry standing there dazed and confused.
