It Started With A Dare

Chapter 10: First day in Slytherin

Harry's POV

     I walked into the dorm after Malfoy asked me to end our rivalry. I was happy, my wish was true now. Our rival past in now in the past, not the future nor the present. I looked around and saw Crabbe, Goyle and Zabini in a different bed. I found a empty bed close to the window. The window seemed to glow green, so i walked to it. I saw green-ish water. I looked up and i saw fishes swimming around.  "Why are there fish?" I asked, under my breath. "Our common room, dorms and everything else is under the lake." I heard someone say so i turned around. I saw Malfoy there. "Oh ok." I looked back at the window and i smiled. I always liked to look at fishes swimming. I kept staring at it, soon i saw a merperson swim by the window. I remember last year when i had to rescue Ron and Flur's sister from the merfolk. I sighed. "Anything wrong Potter?" I heard Malfoy ask me, i looked at my hands. "Nope, i'm fine" I answered him. I wasn't fine. The  memories of Cedric dying filled my head. I guess i had been silent for too long because i felt a hand on my shoulder. "Are you really fine?" I looked over at the hand. It was a pale hand with long fingers, the middle finger was wearing a blank ring with a emerald  at the center. I looked up and i saw Malfoy with a slightly concerned expression on his face. I nodded, plastering a fake smile on my face. I notice the tear that escaped my eye. I felt a cold hand touch my cheek, wiping away the tear. I looked at Malfoy then i looked away. 

     I heard someone stir in their bed. I looked around and i saw Zabini sitting up with a smirk on his face. "It's late. Go to bed lovebirds" I saw Malfoy blush a bit before nodding. He walked to his bed and i stood up. I walked into the bathroom and i changed into my pajamas. I walked out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth. I laid down and i soon fell asleep. I woke up to Malfoy hovering over me with a concerned look on his face. I was covered in cold sweat. I was panting, trying to catch my breath. "You where screaming and grunting in your sleep. I just woke up, it's two in the morning." I heard him say. I nodded and said "Ok.."  He looked at my face then looked at my chest. "Why where you screaming?" He asked me. I only opened my mouth slightly and i let out a small whimper. He then put a hand on my shoulder. "I'll be right over there if you need me Potter. Don't hesitate to ask me for any help. It can be anything, ok Harry?" I looked at him. "Did Malfoy call me 'Harry'?"  I thought, looking at his eyes. He only smiled and stood up. I felt myself go down slightly as the weight coming from Malfoy disappeared. Malfoy laid back down and i laid on my bed. I ended falling asleep and i woke up to the sound of rustles coming from the beds around me. 

    I got up and i walked into the bathroom, when i got in the bathroom i changed into my new robes. I put my tie on sloppily. I then tried to brush my messy, black, bed hair but it stayed the same. I walked out of the bathroom to see Zabini and Malfoy waiting form me. Crabbe and Goyle must've already left. "You ready Potter?" Zabini asked me. I nodded and smiled at him. "Crabbe, Goyle and most of the others have already left to the Great Hall. So lets start going to the Great Hall" Malfoy told me. I gently smiled at him and nodded. We all started to walk down to the Great Hall for breakfast. I sat down at the end, closer to the giant doors. I looked over at the Ravenclaw table and he saw Hermione. He caught her eye and he waved at her. She waved back at me. I looked at the Gryffindor table and i saw Ron looking down. I told someone to get his attention. "Why would i help a Slytherin liar like you?" They told me. I only scoffed. "Maybe you're the one who should've got put into Slytherin." I hissed at them and i turned away. "Merlin, you make good comebacks, Potter." I looked at Malfoy and i saw him with a grin on his face. I shrugged. "She deserved it, i'm not a lair just because i'm in Slytherin." I said, reaching out for some muffins. 

     After breakfast all of us stood up and we headed to class. My first class was charms so i headed to class. I followed Malfoy because he new short cuts. We got their 5 minutes before the next class.  I sat down and Malfoy sat next to me. "Potter?" I looked at Malfoy. "Hm?" I hummed in response. "If Slytherin was the right house for you, why were you sorted into Gryffindor in the first place?" He asked me, i shrugged. "I'm not sure why."  He looked at me. "Do you not know how to tie your tie Potter?" He asked me. "I do, i just do it sloppily." I looked at him and he was staring at my tie. "Face me, i'll fix it for you. It gets on my nerves." I nodded and faced him. He began to undo my tie, he then tied my tie and i smiled at him. "Thanks" I told him and i faced the front. Students came pilling in. I saw Hermione and some other Ravenclaws. I saw a girl sit next to Hermione, soon i saw it was Cho Chang. I sighed and rested my head in my hands. "Today we will work on the charm Accio. It allows any object float to you." I heard Professor Flitwick say. He raised a wand and said loud and clearly, "Accio book" He pointed his wand to a book and the book floated into his  hand. The room was filled with "Accio book!" and many books hovered to the spell caster.

     I walked to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with the Slytherins. I sat down in the back and Malfoy sat in front of me. "Welcome to this class of Defense Against the Dark arts. Put your wands away, you will not be needing them in my class." She said, smiling. "Professor, shouldn't we keep our wands out?" Someone asked. "You will only need your books im my class, for there is no danger to children." She said, smiling once again. "But we need to learn how to defend ourselves  for any danger." I said. She only smiled. "Students must raise their hands to speak. Besides, there is no danger coming your way. Who would want to harm a bunch of 16 year olds?" She askeed. I stood up. "Oh i don't know, maybe Lord Voldemort." I said, still standing up. I saw many students flinch at his name including Malfoy. "Students must raise their hands in my class. Mr. Potter,  you are lying, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named isn't alive anymore." She said, looking directly at me. I only stared back. "I am not lying, he is back." I said, sternly. "Detention this afternoon, for lying, now sit down Mr. Potter."  I sat down.
