"Merlin, these cookies are so good Harry!"

"thanks" Harry blushed "I made a lot for my pig of a cousin, Dudley, back when I lived with them, so I had a lot of times to perfect the recipe"

Draco took another bite out of his cookie.

"Harry... um I was wondering if..." Draco looked thoroughly embarrassed, somthing Harry was not used to seeing "you know what... don't worry"

"What?"

"No it's nothing"

"Draco! What is it?"

"It's stupid"

"Just tell me"

"Potter it's nothing!"

"Tell me!"

"No"

"Merlin Draco will you stop being so stubborn and just tell me?"

"...fine" he spat "okay. It's stupid, but um.. I was wondering if you could help me with that defence against the dark arts assignment, since you're mr golden boy and you seem to be good at everything."

"That was it? Oh my god Draco your such a drama queen sure I'll help you" answered Harry, smiling.
Draco playfully punched Harry's arm.

"Shut up"

Now it was Draco who had gone red, a blush spreading over his face. Harry smiled, he looked so cute when he was embarrassed. No he doesn't! Said a voice in the back of Harry's mind. He is not cute, and he will never be! Draco is a boy! Your not allowed to have feelings for a boy! You're such a disappointment! Imagine what your parents would think right now! You have a fucking girlfriend! Or at least, a girl who is waiting until she can date you without being in mortal peril. Pull yourself together.

Harry looked at his watch. It was 1:55. Draco had said 2:00. Was he being too egar? He stood in the hallway awkwardly for a minute or two.
Okay I think I'll be fine going in now.
He walked over to Draco's room and knocked on the door. Draco opened it and smiled at Harry.

"Finally made it out of the hallway, huh?"

Harry's stomach dropped and Draco just smirked at him. Harry tried to form words but his brain had decided to go empty.

"Don't worry if I were you, I would be nervous around me too"

"Shut up"

Draco just smiled.

"Anyway, what do you want to start with?"

"potronus charm?"

"Ok"

"Okay, well first you need to think of your happiest memory."

"Mh hm"

"Make sure that the memory is the time in your life that you have been happiest, and make sure that it is the only thing occupying your mind"

"got it"

Harry saw Draco blush and he wondered what he was thinking about. Was it a girl back at Hogwarts? Did Draco have a girlfriend? Was Draco even into guys? He realised how bold he was to assume that Draco could even like him. Although, Harry could have sworn he had seen him making out with a dude in the corridor one day, but maybe it was just an ugly girl. Harry almost burst out laughing at that joke and Draco looked at him, confused and clearly judging him. Harry looked down embarrassed.
