I could hear sobbing from the bathrooms, I recognized the tone but not completely.

"WHY OH WHY ME!" Draco sobbed out loudly, covering his mouth as he saw Harry enter the restrooms. I cautiously entered the restroom, slowly moving my hand out towards him, but he instead slapped it out of his way as he stood up, wiping his tears from his face, red from crying. "What do you want, Pottah?" he snapped, as usual.

"I just wanted to see who was crying in the restrooms, Malfoy,"  I snapped back, Draco flinched, and started tearing up even more. Fuck, I messed up. He backed into the wall and slid to the floor, sobbing. I run over to him and cradle him in my arms, my heart skips a beat. "Shhhhh I'm sorry, it's okay," I run my fingers through his hair, I can feel him relax into my arms. A few minutes pass by and he starts calming down. When he stops crying he looks me in the eyes, his eyes aren't piercing my soul this time, it's  more like a puppy begging for food from you. He hugs me, very tightly, I am not able to breath well for how hard he hugs me but I don't say anything as my heart skips another beat.

"Thank you Harry," Draco says, realizing he called me Harry, the panic in his eyes rose. 

"You're welcome, Draco," I say, the panic emptying from his eyes, returning back to their puppy dog state. I heard someone walking down the hall, I recognized the foot pattern and sound, it was Snape. Draco jumped up and ran into a stall, I stood at the sink, pretending I was washing my hands. Snape entered the restroom.

"Potter," Snape asked, I directed my eyes towards his, his piercing my soul. "Have you seen Malfoy?" He asked, I shook my head no. "Alright then," He sashayed off, Draco waited until Snape's footsteps faded away and walked out of the stall, letting out his breath all at once as he was holding it for a good 30 seconds.

"T-thank you," He managed to say, as he regained his breath. "I need to go back to my dorm," Draco said as he scurried away. The moment was over. The question was, why did my heart skip a beat? Did I like him? No, maybe? I walk out of the restrooms, having this topic on my mind all the way to the Gryffindor commons. I walk in and Ron pokes my shoulder, I jumped.

"Blimey hell Harry where were you! You promised to hang out with us here after classes!" Ron whined. Hermione hit him on the back of the head with a book. "Ouch," He said as he rubbed his head.

"Stay out of his business," She hissed at him.

"He was probably making out with his-" Ron started saying as Hermione hit him again. "Ouch Hermione, that bloody hurt!" He whined at her, she rolled her eyes.

"Well, anyways, I have to go to bed as I have things to tend to in the morning," Hermione said as she went up to her dorm.

"She's bloody scary that's for sure," Ron said as he sniffed around, "Is Malfoy in here?" He asked, his face scrunched up.

"I don't think Malfoy would be in the Gryffindor common rooms," I said as I slipped into a chair, Ron followed. Shit, I must've picked up some of his cologne while calming him down. " I don't smell anything but the smell from the fire, you must be smelling things," I added. 

"It is getting pretty late, I think we should head to bed Harry," Ron said as he started walking towards the dorms.

"Yeah, I guess we should," I say as I follow him.
