Swimming
Harry let his feet sink into the cold refreshing water and let out a content sigh as his nerves calmed down. Ever since he found out about the lake on school premises he had taken many trips to it whenever he had a issue.
Tonight though, he would only soak his feet for a little and then head back. He had homework to do and he knew Snape wouldn't let him get away with having it undone.
He leaned back and the bright moan bathed him in a soft light as he looked up at its stars. His feeling of contentment ended quickly though, when a rustling noise came from a bush near him. He knew of the wild beasts with in the woods so he held his wand up just in case.
Suddenly the bushes parted to reveal a tall thin man with bleach blonde hair and a small smirk. His eyes seemed more sunken in then usual and his skin even paler than Harry remembered. Maybe he was sick?
"Potter? What are you doing here? This swimming hole is claimed by me so if you could leave that would be lovely."
Harry rolled his eyes at Draco and instead of leaving he simply scootched over so they could both fit on the tiny dock that lead to the water. He wasn't up for a fight right now and he honestly didn't think the blonde was either.
Malfoy snickered and took the seat next to Harry. His feet also disappearing into the black water. "So why are you here Potter? Trouble in paradise?"
Harry took a deep breath and bit his lip with worry. If he said anything to Malfoy it was sure to be brought up again and he didn't want that, but on the other hand it would be nice to tell someone.
"Things have just been difficult lately. What about you Draco? You look like hell on wheels."
The blonde chuckled and ran a hand through his own hair while he to considered what to say. "Things haunt me Potter. It happens to everyone and I just want it to go away for a little."
Harry stiffened at the sentimental sentence and wondered if maybe he had been wrong about Draco all those years. Maybe they could be friends after all.
They sat in silence for what seemed like way to long when a strange feeling came across Harry. He had a huge urge to to shove Malfoy into the water. It wasn't the nicest thing to do and he would probably get cursed out but it was so strong he couldn't help it. He put his hands on the other boys back and before the blonde could say a word he was shoved into the water.
"Potter what in the bloody hell!" Malfoy shouted angrily but all Harry could do was laugh and pray that no one heard them. It had been a while since he had smiled like this and he didn't want anyone to get in the way.
His smile abruptly changed when he felt a hand wrap around his wrist. He just barely let out a squeak as he was pulled into the water with Draco.
The two boys splashed each other playing like children and acting like friends. Neither had ever felt this way about the other but now, in that second, it seemed so normal. Stay like this.
The end
