Chapter 6

Draco's POV:

He walked to potions the next day in a hurry, didn't quite know why. He sat in his seat alone, not even the teacher was here. He didn't sleep at all last night, so he just decided to stay awake. It's not too bad, actually.

"Draco, you're early." Professor Snape points out.

"Yes." He replies softly, opening his bag to take out his quill and ink.

"Mr. Potter... What a delight." Snape says sarcastically.

At the mention of his rival, his heart speeds up. He kept begging for it to calm down, but it wouldn't. As soon as he dropped his bag on the ground beside Draco, they made eye contact. That only made his nerves crazier.

He quickly shifted his gaze back to his desk. "Hey, Malfoy..." He hears beside him.

"Huh?" He says nervously, trying his hardest to keep his eyes on his desk.

"Just wanted to say hello," Harry says.

"Hi." He replies in the softest most childish voice ever. So much for acting all manly and scary.

"You alright?" Harry asks.

"Yes, yes I'm fine." He gulps. Seriously, what the bloody hell was wrong with him?

Apologize, Draco. You should apologize. He should, shouldn't he? No, that's weakness... But he didn't do anything. Right?

"Harry... I mean! I mean um Potter..." He says nervously.

"Yes?" Harry asks with a confused expression.

"Well, I'm sorry about... Yesterday. You didn't do anything I was just... Not having a good day. I shouldn't have taken it out on you. I always do and it's wrong." He says looking right into his eyes. It made him nervous, but he needed him to know he was genuine.

"Um... Thanks, Draco... Or Malfoy... Whatever you wanna be called." Harry says and shortly after he gives him a small smile.

Stop! He is a boy and so are you stop feeling all jittery and happy! But damn, his smile is great. "I'm... Glad you accept the apology. Uh, good morning by the way."

"Good morning," Harry says with a smile.

Soon the class fills with the other students. Oddly enough, him and Harry worked pretty well together this time. It was kinda nice.

"Can you hand me the rose thorns and moonstone?" Harry asks. Draco does exactly that and he gives him thanks.

I wonder what I'll smell after it's finished. "When you are finished, if done correctly, the potion will be a pearly pink color," Snape says.

Their potion turns pink slowly then shines like a pearl. He smiles at their victory and Snape comes over to look at their finished product.

"Very well, boys. This here is a perfect amortentia." Snape says. "Twenty points to Slytherin."

"Wait, Professor, Harry did most of the work." He says. The room goes quiet.

"Five points to Gryffindor then..." Snape says, walking away before he can protest.

"Uh..." Draco stares at his desk.

"It's fine, at least Snape is consistent." Harry giggles at his comment.

"Now boys, what do you smell," Snape asks.

Draco leans in to take a whiff. It was hypnotizing, he almost forgot to speak. "I... I smell wood, broom polish, grass, and... Something else. I can't quite get." He says.

Harry leans in to smell next. "Vanilla, fresh laundry, and... Ink?" Harry says. He then looks down at his desk with his eyes wide.

Harry keeps glancing at him. It's freaking him out. Maybe he has something on his face?

"Draco, what cologne do you wear?" Harry asks.

"Huh?" Draco feels a heavy blush hit him.

"It's just I might wanna wear it... Ya know... Uh." Harry's cheeks turn red.

"Well, uh, it's from Louis Vellios. He only made one cologne, so that'll be easy for you." He says quietly.

"Uh... Ok, thanks." Harry replies. They don't talk anymore after that.

Harry's POV:

This can't be right. Does Draco wear amortentia for his cologne? No, there's no way. He smelt other things than just that cologne. Maybe he just really likes the scent of the cologne and that's why? Or he just kept smelling Draco beside him.

There was such a strong wave of it, though, right after he mentioned the scent of ink. It hit him right in the face. It was more hypnotizing than the other smells. Bloody hell, it was amazing. He didn't think he should've asked him that question, though. He bloody embarrassed himself. Damn, he's talking like Ron now.

"Class dismissed!" Snape shouts, scaring him out of his thoughts.

"Come on, Harry!" Hermione says, smiling at me as she walks out. Ron gives Draco a glare and follows after Hermione.

"Bye, Draco." Harry smiles at him.

"Yeah, bye," Draco says with a small smile.

He just hopes he's becoming less of an arse. It shocked him when he apologized earlier, but it made him really happy to hear him say that for the first time ever. It makes him have hope for him. He walks out of the classroom with Hermione and Ron.

"It was strange how Malfoy stood up for you today with Snape. Honestly, I think the git is up to something." Ron says.

"Maybe he's becoming a better person," Harry says.

"He is horrible to us, Harry! How could you say that!" Ron shouts.

"Ronald! Listen, you never know. Yes, Malfoy has been horrible to us, but maybe he is finally growing up. But, we still need to be careful around him. Watch your back Harry, alright?" Hermione warns.

"Of course. I won't just blindly trust him, but I do have hope that he's actually learning. Who knows? Maybe he'll apologize to you and Hermione soon." Harry predicts, making Ron scoff.

"Yeah right," Ron says.

"He apologized to me today! For the first time ever! Well, not for everything, but for his attitude yesterday. Plus we actually had a civilized class time together today. If nothing else, I'll make him apologize to you guys too." He assures them.

"You can't make him do anything. Malfoy will be Malfoy. He is the way he was raised, vile. Not to mention he is a Slytherin! A snake! You can't trust any of them! Everyone who was ever been evil has been in Slytherin!" Ron says angrily.

"Whatever, Ron. We'll see how this goes." He walks past them.

"Fine! But when he stabs you in the back don't come crying to us!" Ron shouts from behind me.

"Ronald!" Harry hears Hermione shout. He smiles. Just like an old married couple.
