This Feels Like Falling in Love || Drarry

2: Late Night Studying

"Bloody hell, this school is freezing!" Draco exclaimed, wrapping himself tighter in his blanket.

"I know, it's only November, this weather is stupid!" Harry said, letting his eyes scan across the room. "We could move to the fireplace?" Harry suggested.

Draco glared over at Harry but finally gave in. "Yeah, whatever. As long as it's warmer."

Harry gave a small smile and picked up his books to move. Draco followed behind him and plopped down onto the couch.

Harry sat next to Draco, so close their arms were touching.

Draco tensed and went back to work, asking the occasional question here and there.

When Draco felt something heavy fall onto his shoulder he jumped slightly. Turning his head to look at what had dropped, he found a sleeping Harry Potter.

Harry had fallen asleep and dropped his head onto Draco's shoulder. Draco shifted slightly to be more comfortable and went back to studying, leaving the boy asleep on his shoulder.

After a few minutes of listening to Harry's soft snores, Draco lays his head back too.

He pulls a blanket over them and lays his head on top of Harry's.

Hermione was walking down to the common room early the next morning so she could get to class early. What she didn't expect to see was the two arch-enemies of Gryffindor and Slytherin sleeping together on the common room couch.

Hermione blinked once, recovered from the shock, and strode over to the couch. She placed a hand on Harry's shoulder and shook him awake.

Harry jumped at the touch. He saw who was next to him and sighed. Looking back at Hermione, he gave her a troubled look.

"Please keep this a secret." He said softly, careful not to wake Draco up.

Hermione nodded and walked out of the common room.

Harry shook Draco's shoulder gently. Draco pushed Harry's hand away and sat up rubbing his eyes.

When his vision adjusted and he realized what had happened, he jumped off the couch.

Harry laughed. "Good morning, Malfoy."

Draco gave a fake smile and made his way back to his room to change.

Harry sighed and made his way up to change too. Once that was done, he headed to class with Hermione.

"What happened between you two? I thought you hated each other?"

Harry dropped his head and stared at his feet. "I'm not sure 'Mione. We just study together. I guess I just fell asleep."

She stopped walking and glared at Harry.

Harry stopped and turned to look at her.

"And he fell asleep with you?"

"I guess so." Harry turned back around and continued walking back to class.

Harry gets to his class and sits next to Ron. Draco walks in a few minutes later.

The two boys glanced at each other and quickly turned away.

They went the whole day avoiding each other. Harry stuck with Ron and Hermione, using them as shields while Draco sulked around the school with Pansy and Blaise.

That night was a night when Harry would usually study. Draco walked down to the common room and waited for Harry. After an hour of waiting, he realized Harry wouldn't be studying with him tonight.

He wouldn't show up to classes either.

"He must hate me" Draco muttered to himself.

Draco ran to the Slytherin side of the dorms and pounced into Pansy, Blaise's, and his enclosed room.

"Help me!" Draco groaned, plopping himself down on Pansy's bed.

Pansy moved away, pushing Draco to the floor. Blaise stood and sat down with the other two.

"Potter again?" Blaise asked.

Draco huffed and nodded.

Pansy sighed. "You have to fix this Draco. You can't keep moping forever."

"We were just getting along! Friends even!" Draco grumbled. "He just disappeared! I drove him away."

Draco's head dropped into his hands and Blaise placed a comforting hand on his back. Pansy stood and moved to crouch in front of Draco.

"Draco. You didn't do anything wrong. It's not your fault that Potter is scared of whatever happened. He's an idiot not to see how great you truly are."

Draco let out a small laugh and lifted his head. "Wow, how very sentimental of you, Pans."

Blaise snorted from where he was sitting, causing a pillow to fly into his face. Draco followed suit and threw a pillow at Pansy. The three continued this, leading to a full-on pillow fight.

Once this was over, Draco lied down and thought about the conversation he had earlier had with his friends.

Maybe he didn't do anything. Maybe Harry is nervous... or something.

Oh yes, Harry was nervous. He was panicked and shaky, but he couldn't figure out why.

But that was a lie. He knew exactly why he was like this; Draco Malfoy had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

All Harry could think about was Draco's face is the firelight, the shape of his sharp, but soft jawline, his eyelashes brushing against his soft pale cheek, his platinum blonde hair swooping around his ears. Just thinking about the boy made Harry flush. What the bloody hell was wrong with him?

Harry started skipping classes to avoid Draco. But when he fell behind, his friends were there to help.

"Why are you missing classes, Harry?" Hermione asked one afternoon while reviewing notes.

Harry looked up from the notes he was copying and shook his head. "I don't know, 'Moine. Just haven't been feeling up for it I guess."

Hermione sighed and went back to her work.

Ron walked in a few minutes later. "Hey, Hermione, have you seen-" He looked up, seeing Harry, and paused. "Oh. Er, Hey, Harry. Catching up on missed work?" Ron said, forcing a smile.

Harry nodded his response and continued working. The two boys hadn't talked in a while. Harry didn't know why, but he made no move to fix the situation.

"Well, then," Ron said. "I'll be off." He turned and made his way back up to the boy's dorm.
