*Draco's POV*
-1 Month Later-
Draco and Harry had eventually worked out how to live together. They would try to avoid each other at all costs and only be in the dorm when they had to sleep. Draco would shower in the morning and Harry would shower at night. Harry would usually be gone before Draco even got up. Draco had gotten used to this routine but he wished it weren't that way. He wished he could just talk to Harry instead of just bullying him. But Harry would think he was crazy if Draco just started talking to him as if they were best friends.
Draco realized he loved him in their second year. He would always secretly follow Harry around, telling himself that it was because he thought Harry was plotting something. He would think about Harry constantly. He had convinced himself he thought about him out of hatred. But he had never hated Harry. He didn't know how to tell Harry this so he just kept pretending like he loathed him. He was never good at expressing his feelings, and his father was to thank for that. Sometimes when he was stressed, Draco would look over at Harry sleeping. He could tell that Harry had nightmares, because his face would grimace and he would usually start to stir.
One night while Draco was lying in bed he saw that Harry was still awake. He glanced over and saw that he was crying. He tried to pretend like he didn't notice but eventually he couldn't take it anymore. He worked up the courage to say something.
"Are you...alright?" Draco asked hesitantly
Harry looked shocked for a moment , but then looked down at his hands.
" I- well...toady is the anniversary of when my parents died" he said in a quiet voice
Draco raised his eyebrows. What do you say to that?
" I- wow I'm sorry" Draco said "Well... you know my parents kind of suck. They never have time for me. It's almost like they pretend I don't exist"
Did he really just tell him that?
"I know how you feel" Harry said quietly after a moment "The Dursley's treat me like I'm mud on the bottom of their shoe
Draco chuckled softly. Harry scooted over and patted the bed, gesturing for him to come over. Draco panicked internally for a second. Was he really going to sit next to him?! He walked over and sat next to Harry on the bed. They talked about their family problems and their struggles for the rest of the night. Eventually Draco climbed back into his own bed.
"Goodnight"
"Night" Draco said back, smiling to himself
