The Things I Never Told You (Draco Malfoy x Harry Potter)

Chapter Two

  The next day after all their classes for the day, and after dinner in the Great Hall, Draco and Harry changed out of their robes and grabbed their broomsticks and went to down to the edge of the forbidden forest.

  "Hey." Draco said, approaching Harry with his broomstick in hand.
"Hey." Harry said, smiling shyly.
"So should we-"
"Yeah, let's go." Harry said.

  They both flew down to the Quidditch field, but saw the Ravenclaws were already practicing on it.

  "Looks like we'll have to do this some other time." Harry said, frowning slightly.
"I know another place we could go." Draco said.
"Ok. Lead the way." Harry said, getting back onto his broom.

  Draco did the same and began to fly them both in the direction of one of the castles many turrets. Draco landed gracefully on the top, and looked over at Harry, who was still firmly planted on his broom.

  "Scared, Potter?" Draco asked, smirking slightly.
"No." Harry said still not budging from his broom.
"You sure?" Draco said.
"You're sure this is safe?"
"I come up here all the time, you'll be fine." Draco said, offering out his hand to Harry.

  Harry slowly stepped off of his broom and onto the turret, grabbing Dracos hand. Harry let go of it when his feet were firmly planted on the roof. Draco's cheeks went a little pink.

  "Welcome to my hiding place." Draco said.
"How often do you come up here?" Harry asked.
"Every day, usually when all the stars come out." Draco said.
"Is it beautiful?"
"It is. And you can hear all the night creatures too."

  The sun was setting quite quickly. The stars came out soon enough, and the two boys laid down on the turret, looking up at the night sky, their brooms laying beside them.

  "Hey look, there's Draco." Draco said, pointing to the sky.
"Huh?" Harry said, turning his head to look at Draco.
"The constellation," he said, tracing the stars with his pointer finger, "It's a dragon. It's actually what I'm named after."
"That's really cool actually." Harry said, smiling softly.
"Thanks." Draco said, smiling back.

  "Potter?" Draco asked.
"Yeah?"

  Draco paused, still looking up at the bright stars in the sky.

  "You ok?" Harry asked, sitting up and staring at Draco.
"Yeah, sorry. I just wanted to say that we should do this more often. It's nice to have company. I'm usually alone... or surrounded by idiots."
Harry chuckled.
"Crabbe and Goyle?" Harry asked.
"Yeah. They're a bit slow."
"Don't have to tell me that twice." Harry said.
Draco laughed quietly.

  Harry laid back down on his back. The two boys stared at the sky for another hour and talked.

  Harry yawned softly.

  "Tired?" Draco asked.
"No, I'm good."
"You're tired, Potter. The bags under your eyes show that."
"Hey!" Harry said playfully, swatting him in the arm.
Draco laughed quietly.

  Draco looked into Harry's eyes with his lopsided smile. Harry stared into Draco's blue grey eyes. Draco started to move a little closer to Harry. Harry yawned again, his arms stretching up.

  "Yeah, I am actually pretty tired," Harry said, "Good night, Malfoy."
"Good night, Potter."

  Harry got to his feet slowly so he didn't fall, and grabbed his broom. He mounted his broom, and rode off of the turret, and into the window in his dorm he had left open.

  Draco wasn't ready to turn in yet, so he laid back down on the turret, looking at the stars, tracing the constellations with his pointer finger, naming each one. Draco had always been particularly good at astronomy.

  Draco rubbed his eyes tiredly about an hour later. He got on his broom and flew into his dorm window. He placed his broom by his bed, and pulled the curtains around his four poster, changing into his night clothes.

  "Where have you been?" Goyle asked from across the room.
"That's none of your business." Draco snapped.
"I was just asking." Goyle replied from the other side of Draco's four poster.
"Don't go asking about things that don't matter to you." Draco said, falling onto his bed exhausted.

  He got underneath the dark grey comforter and bedsheets. He laid there, thinking about the un finished homework he had to do the next day. He pushed the thought out of his head, convincing his mind he would get it done the next day. He rolled over onto his side, and stared at one of the curtains of his four poster.

  The thought of Harry came into his mind. Harry in his quidditch robes flying on his broom at games. Harry attempting to follow Snape's recipe in potions. Harry hanging out with his friends around Hogwarts. The image of Harry kissing him popped into his head. Draco blushed heavily.

  "Stop it, Draco." He murmured to himself.
"You ok, Malfoy?" Crabbe said from outside his four poster.
"Yes, I'm fine." Draco said, rubbing his temples.

  When Harry had gotten back into his dorm everyone was already sleeping. He tiptoed across his floor and changed into his night clothes. He closed the window quietly and pulled the curtains around his four poster. He got into his bed, and pulled the covers over himself, smiling shyly.

  Harry didn't know what had come over him. He was so smiley and blushy. He didn't understand how hanging out with Malfoy could do that to him.

  Both of the boys lay in their dorm rooms quietly, not moving in their beds, but both thinking about each other until they drifted off into sleep.
