No Longer Enemies

    "What is it?" Harry asked.

    "Your little friends had a talk with me," Draco said.

    "What did do?"

    "They threatened that if I hurt you, then they would make me wish that I had never been born," Draco told him.

    "I am so sorry Draco. I never thought that they would do something like that. Especially since they won't even talk to me," Harry said sadly. Then he remembered something that they had told him. "Draco I want to ask you something and I want you to be completely honest with me, ok?"

    "Ok."

    "Ron and Hermione told me that they overheard you talking to your Slytherin buddies and they said that you were telling them that our meeting tonight was some kind of trap. Is it true?"

    "What?! You told the Mudblood and Weasel what happened between us down in the dungeons," Draco said accusingly.

    "Don't EVEN try to change the subject on me Draco. Besides, I didn't tell them exactly what happened down in the dungeon or that it was even you that I was down there with. All I said was that was you and I wanted to try and be friends. I haven't told anyone what actually went on down there and I don't plan on it unless you want me to," Harry paused a moment before continuing. "So answer me Draco, why the hell did you tell your friends that tonight is a trap, unless of course it is? Cause if it is I think that I might just kick your ass now for doing this to me."

    "No Harry, it isn't a trap and I would never do anything to hurt you. I had to tell them something so that they wouldn't be suspicious tonight when I leave the common room to meet you. It is just that I didn't want them to go snooping around tonight and find out about us because they might tell their fathers and then that would start a whole lot of shit that doesn't need to be started," Draco explained.

    "No we wouldn't want that. I am sorry Draco I just. . . I dunno, I just don't want to hurt you or get hurt."

    "You don't have to worry about that Harry I promise that I will never hurt you."

    Draco pushed Harry up against the wall and started kissing his neck, slowly moving up to his lips. They shared a heated kiss but Harry suddenly pulled away.

    "What's wrong?" Draco asked looking confused and hurt from Harry's sudden rejection.

    "Nothing. . . I just don't want us to get caught cause people might suspect something if they notice that both of us are gone."

    "True. Well then, I guess that I will see you tonight then." Draco leaned and kissed Harry quickly before walking towards the door. "Oh and Harry. . ." he stopped at the door, "don't be late," and then he continued out the door not looking back but with a smile on his face.

    Harry chuckled to himself before he too made his way out to the door to go to dinner.

~*~*~*~

    This time Hermione and Ron came up to him and sat down next to him in the Great Hall. Harry ignored them and continued to eat.

    "Harry we need to talk to you," Hermione said. "I'm sorry about the way that I acted the other day and if you and Malfoy want to be friends then we support that. Don't we Ron?"

    "WHAT?! I never. . . OWW!" Ron yelped as Hermione's elbow contacted with his ribs. "Yes Harry we support your decision to befriend the umm. . . guy," Ron said clutching his ribs.

    Harry still ignored their petty apologies and continued to eat as if he hadn't heard a thing of what they had just said.

    "Harry! We know that you can hear us, now please say something!" Hermione yelled, hoping that she would get some kind of response out of him. And she got one; not exactly the one that she had been hoping for but one none the least.

    "Why should I say something to you two if every time I tell you something important or make a decision you can't even support me in it without getting pissed off, especially when I want to be friends with someone other than the two of you. And you two should think of it as a good thing because now you will at least have some time to yourselves," Harry screamed at them causing several people in the Great Hall to turn around and see what all the yelling and shouting was for. Harry got up and left the other two sitting there with flushed faces.

    He started making his way to the door when Ron called after him, "Harry! Harry! Wait a minute."

    "Why should I?" Harry spun around. "Tell me one thing; if you want my friendship and you support the fact that I want to be friends with Draco then why did you say that shit about him?"

    "Harry what are you talking about?" Hermione asked him.

    "Don't play stupid with me, remember what you told me in History of Magic?"

    "Oh. That," Ron said.

    "Harry what we told you was the truth. We overheard Malfoy telling Crabbe, Goyle, and some of the others and we only wanted to make sure that the little bastard didn't hurt you," Hermione explained.

    "Trust me, he won't, ok?"

    "Fine Harry, whatever you say. Where are you going by the way?" Ron asked.

~*~*~*~

    "Back up to the common room to do my homework, is that ok with the two of you?" without waiting for an answer Harry turned around and headed up the stairs to the portrait hole.

    Back up in the common room Harry tried to start on his homework but his mind and thoughts kept drifting back to Draco and their upcoming meeting. He didn't even notice when someone came up behind him and was leaning over his shoulder watching him doodle on his notes.

    "I see that you are getting a lot of work done," Hermione said, startling Harry so much that he knocked over his bottle of ink.

    "You do know that you don't have to sneak up behind me and scare the living daylights out of me don't you?" Harry asked, still breathing heavily.

    He tried to move his books and homework before the ink got to it, but everything was already colored black.

    "This is just great! Now I am going to have to do all this over again and buy new books!"

    "Sorry about that," Hermione apologized. She whipped out her wand and seconds later everything was as good as new, even the homework.

    "Thanks, you saved me a lot of time. So what do you want, or did you come over here just so that you could scare me to death?" Harry questioned.

    "Oh, I um, just wanted to see if you needed any help with anything," Hermione said with a worried look on her face.

    "You can't fool me Hermione. Tell me what it is that you really want."

    "Well Harry, you might want to sit down."

    "Hermione look at me, I am already sitting down," Harry said sarcastically.

    "Well then brace yourself, I have some bad news."
