"Yeah, um, I..." But the lingering effects of Felix wouldn't let me lie. "I do. I really like you." "Not platonically, then." "Not platonically." "Well, that's lucky." He said. "Because I think I really like you too, Draco Malfoy." "If this is a joke," I began, not believing my ears, "then get lost and I never want to talk to you again. If it-" "It's not a j-" "Let me finish, Potter. If it's not a joke, then shut up and kiss me already and stop stalling." -------------------------- Draco and Harry are back for an eighth year of Hogwarts to finish their NEWTs. Unfortunately, there aren't many eighth year students, or extra dormitories, so they end up sharing a room...

Harry Potter had always been The Golden Boy. The-Boy-Who-Lived. He honestly doesn't want to go back for his eighth year, there are many memories that he'd rather forget. He hates the castle he used to call home. Yet, when news goes around about Draco Malfoy having to go back, he reconsiders his opinions. Draco Malfoy is a Death Eater. Everywhere he goes people spit venom at him. He didn't choose this life, neither did his mother want this. As part of his plea deal to keep him from going to Azkaban, he has to finish his eighth year at Hogwarts. Lucky him. The two meet on the train, somehow getting into a nice talk about everything. Let's see what happens one day in Potions... That'll bring everyone together.
