Chapter 1

Draco's POV:

Draco walked into potions, head held high as usual. "Hello, Mr. Malfoy." Professor Snape says to him without expression.

"Hello, Professor," Draco replies nonchalantly.

"You're quite early today." Professor Snape points out.

Draco feels slightly annoyed. "Yep." He replies simply.

Professor Snape looks past him with a frown, "Mr. Potter..."

Draco grunts. 'Great, now I have to deal with him.' He thinks with a feeling of dread. He loves potions, it's his whole life other than Quidditch! But coming to class brings him dread. He loves Snape, of course, he is the only one who understands him! He just always feels so sad, he can't quite explain it. Nothing makes him happy, no matter how much he loves it. Unless, of course, it involves ruining Harry Potter's day. That gave him the most joy, the only joy in his life ever.

"Didn't have your girlfriend, Potter?" Draco teases, "Why you here so early, huh?"

Harry ignores him, getting out his materials as people slowly find their way into the classroom. Draco feels himself boil up inside. How dare he ignore a Malfoy! He's gonna get it this time.

The students begin to file in and as Harry opens up his fresh bottle of ink, Draco sends a spell his way, making the ink cover Harry's fresh parchment and cover his robes. Draco hadn't noticed his friends sitting with him until he heard their chuckles from either side of him.

Harry looks back at Draco with a glare. "What's your damn problem, Malfoy?!" Harry retorts.

"Oh, is little golden boy upset?" Draco gives him a pout mockingly and the Slytherins all laugh. A feeling of pride rises in Draco's body and he smirks.

"Sod off, Malfoy," Ron speaks up.

"Here comes the little Weasel to save his boyfriend." Draco teases.

"Jealous, Malfoy?" Ron teases back.

Draco feels a pang of fear, but why? It's not like that's even remotely true. "No, just stating the facts," Draco smirks.

Ron gives him a glare along with Harry. Draco simply smirks and turns around.

Professor Snape's nasally, eerie voice spoke up soon after, "Alright... Dumbledore has decided to make a change in the school. There will be students chosen to be partners in every class with the use of magic, of course... There will be no chance of changing your partners, it's a magically binding contract for you both to be partners for the year regardless of how you think about it... So I suggest you all deal with what you get. Now, we will begin to choose the names now."

Without a warning, Professor Snape silently does a spell. As a result, a crumpled up piece of paper falls onto his desk. He picks it up and reads it. "Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger." He says emotionlessly. Draco hears a sigh of relief from Ron behind him. Another paper is thrown at the Professor. "Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini." In response, Pansy and Blaise high five. "Neville Longbottom and Gregory Goyle." A whimper is heard from Neville and a grunt from Goyle.

The next set of names was truly a shock, very unpleasant to say the least. Even more unpleasant than Neville and Goyle's pairing. "Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter." The room goes silent and Draco's eyes go wide, his heart beating faster than ever and his chest burning hot with anger. He tries to stay silent all he can as to not lose house points. But Harry Potter, of course, opened up his big stupid mouth.

"No way! You can't--"

Snape cuts him off, "Twenty points from Gryffindor! Next time listen when I say the pairing is binding. There is no need to negotiate, Mr. Potter. In fact, it's highly ignorant." Snape turns back to his desk reading the next pairing, but Draco couldn't listen. He had to deal with that insufferable prat all year.
