You were born to be real, not perfect.

Harry's POV

It was dinner time and I didn't even bother going to the great hall, it's not like I'll eat or something, so here I am. Sitting alone in our dorm with nothing to do.

I sighed as I laid back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Should I do the Herbology assignment? Harry, you still have a week for that.

I a hook my head and sat up. What is Malfoy thinking about? What does he think of me? Does he think I'm a freak? But the biggest question is why do I care? No, it's nothing special. I always cared about what everyone thought of me... right? Yeah , that's right.

I heard the door knob turn and the door opened with a tiny click. Malfoy entered the room and stood in front of me with his hands on his hips. Reminds me of Hermione.

"Why weren't you at the great hall?" He asked and I shrugged. As if he didn't know.

"I know you'll throw up but you have to try, ok?" He asked in a soft tone of his that I never heard. I looked into his eyes. Should I? No.

"I don't want to puke my guts out today, thank you very much." I said and he sighed at my stubbornness. I was gonna go back to laying down but before I could, Malfoy pulled me by the wrist and dragged me to the great hall, I'm guessing.

"Malfoy, let go." I said as I tried to pull my arm from him but his grip just tighten which caused me to yelp in pain. He let go and looked at me wearily.

"What was that?" He asked and my eyes turned real wide as I pulled my wrist as far away from him as I could.

"Nothing. I'll follow you, just don't touch me." I said and he frowned at this. I hope he's dumb enough to not find out what I've been doing....

"Ok." He said after a long time and we walked to the great hall silently. I entered and Ron and Hermione stood up as they saw me but frowned when they saw who was stood beside me.

"Harry? I'm glad you came to eat." Hermione said with a smile. I nodded as I sat down next to her. I thought Malfoy would go back to the place he used to sit but instead he sat right in front of me as he started to eat.

I gulped and looked at my empty plate. I'm hungry, real hungry but I have no appetite.

"Harry, eat." Malfoy said sternly and I flinched. Did he just call me Harry? I like it...

"I'll eat but in one condition." I said and he frowned before motioning his hands for me to go on.

"You need to continue calling me Harry, then I'll eat." I said and he contemplated the offer before nodding.

"Whatever but if you don't eat." He threatened, pointing his index finger at me and I put my hands up in defeat as I took a big piece of roast chicken and some of the veggies as a side.

"Harry, you're gonna eat that much?" Hermione asked as she looked at the huge amount of chicken I took.

"No promises that I'll finish it but I'll try." I said as I picked up my fork. Come on , Harry. You can do this.

With my new found courage I took a huge bite and it was okay so far.

Like that after so long, I actually ate a meal without throwing up.

"I'm so proud of you, mate." Ron said as he patted me on the back and I have to say that I felt proud of myself too. I looked over to Malfoy who gave me a thumbs up.

Scratch that, I felt extremely proud of myself.

"I can't believe I'm saying this but maybe Malfoy is a good influence on you." Hermione said and I smiled, looking down at my feet before looking ahead at Malfoy , who had a pink tint on his cheeks.

"Um.. thanks Granger." He said and I saw the shocked look on Hermione and Ron's face. I was kinda shocked too. Malfoy never thanked.

"So, tomorrow after dinner, we're all gonna do our Herbology assignment and if you want. You can come sit with us in the library." Hermione said and I was confused. When did we say we're gonna do that? But knowing Hermione she won't let me go without studying.

"Um... no thanks." Malfoy said and I noticed Hermione get a bit upset but smiled nonetheless.

"No, I have to thank you for saying no, Ferret." Ron said as he stood up and left the great hall. Malfoy seemed to be a bit mad but seemed to let it go.

"Sorry about Ron. I'll be leaving then. Harry, you wanna come with me?" 'Mione asked as she stood up and I nodded before joining her. We walked back to the tower but Hermione stopped midway and faced me, stopping me in my tracks too.

"What?" I asked as she looked me up and down like she thought I was hiding something.

"What's up with you and Malfoy?" 'Mione asked and I rolled my eyes. Why does everyone ask that?

"Nothing, is it bad to try and be civil?" I asked and she looked a bit surprised.

"No, of course not. If that's all then I guess it's fine. Malfoy seems okay this year. He hasn't called me a- you know." Hermione said as she looked at her feet. I know she meant mudblood. Which is true. Malfoy hadn't called us any names or bullied us in these two days. Otherwise he's the one to jump and start bullying us.

Maybe I'm judging a bit too quick but we'll see what the future brings. For now I'll try my best to get him to talk to me.
