The hallways were oddly quiet as Draco Malfoy trudged through, barely picking up his feet as he walked. Across the castle Harry Potter still laid in his bed, his eyes shut in a façade of sleep.656Please respect copyright.PENANAyLzlPMxaHk

He really hadn't slept ever since the search of the horcruxes began and now that the war was over it seemed harder to close his eyes sometimes.656Please respect copyright.PENANAl2mPhhaKNX

It was early morning, some may even still refer to it as night, but Draco felt restless and couldn't stand his room any longer. The silence in there was deafening.656Please respect copyright.PENANAS64ejDMuEQ

656Please respect copyright.PENANAWZZhA692G7
Ever since the war the Slytherins were never quite the same to him. Draco didn't just feel outcasted by the other houses but his own seemed to avoid his eyes as well. At first, he must admit, he enjoyed it. It was nice. It was as if people were afraid of him, and fear could become power if used correctly.656Please respect copyright.PENANASEEZAxVtQe
656Please respect copyright.PENANABUsYBh8QRT
656Please respect copyright.PENANAdDKF62OXcG
But, people weren't afraid of him.656Please respect copyright.PENANABwoliNBsbz
It turned out people avoided him because they were disgusted.656Please respect copyright.PENANAbGZr2h5QO4

He did understand the debt he owed Harry, but they had let it go.656Please respect copyright.PENANA5kmXfPrh9t
A nod and tight lip smile was exchanged and Draco felt like that sufficed. There was no need to push it any further. Harry Potter was, after all, doing what he always did: playing hero. However, fellow classmates didn't see it like that and Draco Malfoy had lost his edge.656Please respect copyright.PENANAqK9OoIZA7P
656Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ9aL6pRtR
656Please respect copyright.PENANA8iqZ8pGtR0
The hatred he felt from being in his own house combined with the fact that every time he closed his eyes he could still hear the screams from inside Malfoy Manor was why he was now wandering the hallways.656Please respect copyright.PENANA1KQvKkw4E1
656Please respect copyright.PENANAaYi71sGUuZ
656Please respect copyright.PENANA1fzSkw9pTb
His thoughts were still yelling at him, but at least in the halls he didn't have a chance of accidentally falling asleep and releasing himself into a nightmare. There didn't seem to be a happy dream left in him. Each time he closed his eyes he saw him. Though You Know Who was dead, he was very much alive in Draco's mind.656Please respect copyright.PENANAQd1cuduQgH

Draco had somehow allowed his mind to carry him so far away that he managed to run into a hard mass. All color drained from his face. He had successfully been avoiding any confrontation with anyone. If this was another 8th year who had returned to finish his schooling, then this was sure to be a brawl.656Please respect copyright.PENANATjgNoCZvz6

The only reason Draco hadn't already been pummeled near to death was because by the grace of Merlin he still had Goyle on his side as his guard and because he never put himself in the way of another. But, this.. This was running into someone. This was him being trash for another to step on.656Please respect copyright.PENANAqZjNZYQIyU
656Please respect copyright.PENANAEnGWsqrexm
656Please respect copyright.PENANA4Nu0x6U8Tt
He gulped staring at his feet. He didn't really feel a need to apologize but 'sorry' was on the tip of his tongue. Though he was sure the pain would temporarily push away the hauntings of his past, he didn't really appreciate being attacked.656Please respect copyright.PENANAe24gZ82oTy
656Please respect copyright.PENANAb4z1vP0gno

Draco kept his hands to his sides and his head down. Perhaps, he wondered, if I just stay like this whoever it is will leave.656Please respect copyright.PENANAhoYdFCNb3Z
656Please respect copyright.PENANAwwHRmNcxzb
656Please respect copyright.PENANA1RO0vdqILY
Suddenly, a thought struck him. Draco took all the strength he could muster and looked up expecting to see someone, but he was met by nothing. There was no one there. But, yet.. He had ran into something.656Please respect copyright.PENANA2UlZAIMCGP
656Please respect copyright.PENANAhYgwPYdWNi
656Please respect copyright.PENANAFcb6Rc3rfE
It was hard, and it had made a noise like a deep groan. He ran into somebody, he was sure of it! But, yet.. nothing was there. Draco spun around on his heel thinking perhaps he was facing the wrong way, but still there was no one. He was beginning to feel quite nauseous. Lack of sleep was making him hallucinate. He took deep gulps playing paranoid. He hated this feeling, the feeling of not knowing.656Please respect copyright.PENANAoBdQ024RQB
656Please respect copyright.PENANANmLjWqAu6b
656Please respect copyright.PENANAtIVxmOpKQw
A deep chuckle sounded from his right and Draco immediately turned eyes wide but still nothing. His heart thudded against his chest. He knew it wasn't him, but yet that laugh.. if it was just longer and more sinister.. it would be him. He was back, he had come back to kill Draco, his servant that had failed him.656Please respect copyright.PENANAX0yRzcsgM5
656Please respect copyright.PENANADavO5Z36TX
656Please respect copyright.PENANA4wrNv3CmmD
Draco wanted nothing more than to run, but his feet were lead and he was quite sure now he was hallucinating. But, he couldn't get his mind to shut up. His mind was running on the idea that Voldemort was here just a few feet away from him. Potter hadn't killed him. It was all just a joke, a ploy to bait Draco into his death. Now here he was months later, his turn to die.656Please respect copyright.PENANA7MvLnd4puw
656Please respect copyright.PENANAJQCkkDdEk8
656Please respect copyright.PENANAynQyMFlcz8
Draco shook his head, this was silly. He knew he was being daft. Voldemort was dead, ‘course he was. He sighed getting his heartbeat back into control and regaining his senses.656Please respect copyright.PENANAEeIhovoahN
656Please respect copyright.PENANAswrJTd7t5k
656Please respect copyright.PENANA02aRjkAHLX
"W-who's there?" He cursed his stutter, but a part of his mind was still in the Malfoy Manor sitting in the dungeon waiting to know if Voldemort would be practicing the Cruciatus curse on him today or if he would be forced to use it.656Please respect copyright.PENANASMSPQTA1ZI
656Please respect copyright.PENANA7DuWFctlDw
656Please respect copyright.PENANAWKnWNXhoAX
The laugh was back again, but it was more lighthearted and slightly recognizable. The chuckle reminded Draco of a time so long ago. Of course at that time the laughter was at the expense of him, but that time was so simple.656Please respect copyright.PENANAPIUZahC86D
656Please respect copyright.PENANAlxZy3OPHfG
656Please respect copyright.PENANAOkzCDKlk5C
He longed to go back to then.. when snow had just fallen and he'd went to a trip to Hogsmeade only to end up running back to Hogwarts because he'd been attacked by snowballs. The thought could almost make him smile now. "Malfoy, Malfoy, Malfoy."656Please respect copyright.PENANA4fLdlUQaDW
656Please respect copyright.PENANAhb17krqwWf
656Please respect copyright.PENANAXM2rceasn4
He flinched at his name, but let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding. "Potter," he snarled regaining his senses. He reached out hoping to meet Potter's invisibility cloak, but his hand met thin air.656Please respect copyright.PENANAi7XhctLhj4
656Please respect copyright.PENANAw9sTCqZkq4
656Please respect copyright.PENANAgpjQauUlK6
"Not there," the laugh was back and Draco would had became annoyed, but this was the closest thing to sane he'd occurred in months. "Come on, Potter. Show yourself." "Tsk. I think I'd rather not. It's rather amusing watching you flail your boney arms about." "Git," his voice held malice, but if Potter looked close enough he might mistake Draco's look as a smile. "Dick."656Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ0ioeKxLD
656Please respect copyright.PENANAuJW6CksWHl
656Please respect copyright.PENANAXj38UgsLKc
"W-what?" That was a new insult, one he hadn't heard from Potter before, definitely wasn't one of his best comebacks, but neither of them were really trying too hard. "Dick, Malfoy. Like the thing you don't have."656Please respect copyright.PENANAabxO0IBMLt
656Please respect copyright.PENANAtMsxBfJSxY
656Please respect copyright.PENANA8TGTTJEaed
"Oh shove off," Draco rolled his eyes faking annoyance, but this was honestly the most fun he'd had since he'd came back to Hogwarts. The past few months Potter had been avoiding him just like everyone else. "Besides, I think you mean dick, the thing you like to suck."656Please respect copyright.PENANAHkfVeqQpry
656Please respect copyright.PENANAV3kUogfYEB
656Please respect copyright.PENANAFDTQwZWOW9
Draco didn't know why he said that, but it had fallen out of his mouth before he could stop himself. Though he hadn't thought much about it, he wasn't sure sucking dick could be an insult. After all for a guy it was pleasant, but for some reason he knew this would get Potter reeled up, and he was right.656Please respect copyright.PENANAXmOKhEGMGn
656Please respect copyright.PENANA8jvu1Le3AS
656Please respect copyright.PENANAV7aFVO6EZU
"Excuse you," suddenly the cloak fell to the floor in a shimmer and Draco was standing face to face with Potter for the first time since his trial. Draco was taken aback by the seriousness in Potter's tone. "For your information I don't like to suck dick, but is that offensive to you Malfoy? If I were to like to suck dick?"656Please respect copyright.PENANAS5oodHuSnF
656Please respect copyright.PENANACySRMc8nJT
656Please respect copyright.PENANAGYlXvDmmyY
Draco was beginning to feel nauseous again. Potter took slow cautious steps towards him making Draco step back into a wall. "One of my best mates is gay. Does that disgust you, Malfoy?"656Please respect copyright.PENANAdmSIt5piP9
656Please respect copyright.PENANAf8c8RNnJDj
656Please respect copyright.PENANA1FLp8NHii4
He didn't know what to say, he didn't want to accept defeat, but he also didn't enjoy what Potter was accusing him of. "You know I knew you were biased to blood, but I didn't figure you to be a homophobe too," the ferocity in Potter's voice made Draco's hair stand on edge.656Please respect copyright.PENANAOjB9ZHKk4H
656Please respect copyright.PENANA7wpHIHarx4
656Please respect copyright.PENANAfLSh4jUNSu
Though Draco was a good foot taller than Potter, he felt incredibly small being up against a wall and Potter staring up at him with his wand clutched tightly. It wouldn't take much to curse him; Draco wouldn't even defend himself if he did.656Please respect copyright.PENANAhZMeDv2HVi
656Please respect copyright.PENANAcMJPkxMWE5
656Please respect copyright.PENANAx0qtbVjada
There was a silence that fell between them, Potter breathing heavily and Draco holding his breath. They seemed to be having a stare off only Draco wasn't participating. Finally, Potter decided he had won and took a step back; picking up his cloak and beginning to place it back around him.656Please respect copyright.PENANAXeCAZbiosQ
656Please respect copyright.PENANAoCyxbkpG7n
656Please respect copyright.PENANAyHwUUiVMUq
"I..." Draco began in a whisper, "I really don't mind.. if you are gay.. I mean if anyone is gay." He didn't really want Potter to hear it, but when Potter looked over his shoulder with a small smile Draco knew he had.
