Dear diary. I mean journal! (A drarry fic)

A nice night

Dear journal

I've recently been told that Harry is intending to set things right. It feels kinda shitty to be completely honest with you. I think I like him. Not as a friend or anything but it's been a few weeks since he told me about his new interview and I've felt sick. I couldn't understand why. Not until today. We were in advanced potions. Brewing amortentia and I could smell him. I knew it was him. It was fresh grass from the quidditch field. Peppermint lotion and something sweet almost like a dessert jelly. I know it's weird. And oh god is it sudden. I think I should tell him. At least I'll know that I tried.

Draco sat on his bed putting the journal in a drawer and lying down on his bed huffing with embarrassment. His cheeks were pink. He looked at the ceiling thinking of Harry

It was weird to him. He knew he liked Harry in some shape or form since the first year. But for some reason recently Harry was the only person who could catch his eye. It was a strange feeling.

"It's not love. if that's what you're thinking. It's just a strong attraction. There is no way I could fall in love with Harry bloody Potter. Even if I did there is no way we could be together without one of us being tried for like I don't know treason. Is that a thing? Probably"

Draco sat up from his bed and stretched his classes were done for the day and he didn't feel like sitting alone in his room. He knew he could get into trouble for sneaking out but he felt like a caged animal. He looked down at his PJs and wondered if it was worth getting caught in silk shorts and a tank top. He decided against it and slipped on some jeans and a coat for the cold night air. He put on boots where he stuck his wand and left his room making sure to charm it shut.

He walked patting his pockets for the box of cigarettes but sighed when he felt nothing there. He trotted up the stairs and left the Slytherin rooms walking down the halls greeting teachers who gave him an odd look

"What are you doing out of bed?" One professor asked

"Just taking a stroll" Draco smiled. The professor scrunched their nose up and walked away leaving to give detention to a couple of second years who were out of bed. Draco walked out to the abandoned courtyard where he climbed a tree.

He took note of how it was the same tree he had taunted Harry from when he was in the Triwizard tournament.

"Twat" Draco said to himself thinking about how bad he felt after he had talked about his little bet with his father.

"A ferret," Draco said again to himself giggling slightly at the memory. He began to hum softly as the cool breeze grazed his cheeks making them pink and he shivered slightly. Wishing he had a pack of smokes. He clasped his hands together breathing hot air into his them in an attempt to keep them warm

"No, listen Ron I'm serious! He said I shouldn't do it alone!" Draco arched an eyebrow at the familiar voice and looked down to see Harry and Ron standing there with Harry showing a pack of cigarettes. Ron yawned and leaned on the tree staring at Harry

"Dude I don't even know what that is. Why wouldn't you just ask Malfoy?" Harry pouted at Ron's words

"He said I shouldn't" Ron pushes himself off the tree and held onto Harry

"Dude if he said you shouldn't. You probably shouldn't" Ron said taking the box and holding them up. Draco smirked and wrapped his legs on the branch and hung upside down

"Good advice Weasley!" He said chuckling slightly as Ron let out a very loud girly scream

"What the-!?" Harry yelped as Draco shushed them

"Guys be considerate people are sleeping" Draco winked

"Weasley, can I have that box you're holding?" Ron stood and gave it Draco with Harry protesting madly. Draco swung up and jumped down from the tree and pulled Harry close to him squinting through the dark

"Potter you went against me. How rude" Draco said handing the box back to Harry

"Are you okay Weasley? I didn't mean to scare you there" Draco turned to Harry a soft smile on his lips and Ron blushed in embarrassment

"Ha! You, scare me? In your dreams!" Ron defended

"Good to know. There's a spider in your hair by the way" the redhead started squealing and roughing up his hair in an attempt to get the spider out. Draco turned back to Harry and smiled at him

"Give me a cigarette" Harry scrunched his nose up and took one out motioning it to Draco. Draco parted his lips and stood closer winking at Harry who understood what Draco wanted and he placed it in between them.

"Gimme the pack back. Don't you dare ever try to do anything like this ever again." Harry nodded as he watched Draco lite it.

"Weasley I was joking. How was I going to see a spider in the dark?" Draco laughed as he blew smoke out his mouth. Ron realized he was right, began yelling any curse word he could think of

"Ron shut up! We aren't even supposed to be up!" Harry scolded Placing a hand over Ron's mouth. Draco giggled.

"You guys better get back to your rooms before you get detention" Harry turned to look at Dracos outline

"What about you?" He said as Ron began to storm off muttering something about how saying a spider is in someone's hair it shouldn't be joked about

"Don't worry about me potty. I'm going to sleep soon I think" Draco said sweetly Harry blushed darkly thanking the night for the concealment

"Haha yeah okay, I'll see you later Malfoy!" And with that, the boys went their separate ways with Harry and Draco especially happy about the night's events
