It was a week before they spoke again or even locked eyes. Draco had stopped showing up to the Great Hall to eat meals and was grabbing what he could from the Kitchen before disappearing to the Room of Requirement. This was his new hideout.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMNyou5kvN

He was delighted that, although the room took the shape of Slytherin colors, it didn't look anything like his room back at Malfoy Manor, which meant it was harder to get nightmares inside. Though, if he thought too hard he'd remember the flames that burned Crabbe to death and the screams that surrounded it.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy80nj3LIi

Then he'd remember the feeling of Potter and how he also owed his life to him as well. If he closed his eyes he could still feel the heat of the flames as they licked him and feel the unsatisfied feeling deep in his stomach. He could feel the curve of Potter's spine as he hunched over him wrapping his arms around his chest for safety.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6OOEU62gI

He hadn't thought much of it in the moment, but Potter had lost a lot of weight in the past year, though they both had, but still somehow managed to have a rock hard chest. He appeared so scrawny, but he was sure under his shirt was some outline of abs.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LoGLUwH30
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQn4HT21Q4
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfvemEHxnl
He quickly shook his head at the thought; it disgusted him to think what Potter looked like underneath clothes even if it was just his chest. Draco took a harsh bite off the bread. He wasn't exactly sure what was left for him here at Hogwarts. He only came back because of his mother and because he didn't know what else to do.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0Vu5xfE6a

Perhaps if he had known what it'd be like he wouldn't have returned. He knew though, that no matter what, he wouldn't have been able to take the Malfoy Manor, it was suffocating now. Everything was tainted there.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI3nrzgX4j

He didn't understand how his mother could stand it. Didn't she still hear her sister screaming curses? Or the cries of those being tortured? Wasn't there still the fear that every corner she turned the Dark Lord would randomly appear? The thought made his insides turn and he sat down the bread to remain almost untouched. His appetite came and went in waves nowadays.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf9M1Xc8Ab

He thought back to his last conversation with Potter. There were a lot of questions on his mind about that night. He enjoyed thinking about this; it was easier pondering Harry Potter than to think about his past.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EGKPeOOBe

For one, he was curious as to why Potter was wandering the castle so early. And for another why he felt the need to approach him at all. Then, why in Merlin's name did he have to get so pissed off at him for saying he liked dick? Stupid Gryffindor pride, Draco assumed. After all, he said one of his best mates was gay. But, who was his best mate?901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe6y0F4DBs

There was Ron, of course, but he was dating the Muggle-born Hermione Granger. That was common knowledge after they were caught snogging in one of the corridors near Ravenclaw. Then there was Neville, but last he heard he was chasing after Looney Lovegood.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvN8VKTelc

After that Draco wasn't quite sure who Potter called his "best mate". Draco's mind began roaming away from Potter and to his own troubles again. It occurred to Draco that he didn't have a "best mate" and that he never really ever did.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQvSLPHBtj

He had Crabbe and Goyle, but that was different. They were friends before they could even talk. Their parents had made sure of that. It was an arranged friendship and one that didn't really count. Even now with only Goyle left he only saw him as a bodyguard. And besides, if Goyle really was Draco's friend, Draco decided, he would have questioned him at least once about his strange attitude lately.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnNPm3DZ4c

Draco had been off. He hardly spoke, not even harsh comments. He kept his head low and just tried to push through the year. He was hardly eating and he never slept anymore. It was only a matter of time before he pushed himself off the deep end.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf6jupiBRD

Meanwhile, Harry Potter was piling food onto his plate when he decided to finally look up and glance over at the Slytherin table like he did every meal time. Once again he was met by a different Slytherin, a 5th year who had black hair that didn't stand out like the pale blonde he was looking for.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHm1708oLh

"For the last time Ronald, close your mouth when you eat! You look like a buffoon!" "Mkay," Ron's words were muffled by the food in his mouth. Harry tore his eyes away from the table to face his two friends. He gave a weak smile, but there was an uneasy feeling in his stomach and instead of eating from the large pile of food he placed on his plate, he just poked it.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQvLymPHu8

"And you," Herimone turned to look at Harry with a pointed glance, "stop playing with your food and eat. Merlin. I don't know how on earth I put up with you two." She grumbled before stabbing a piece of chicken with her fork and shoveling it in her mouth.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcWnh6Hxn2

Harry only swallowed sitting down his silverware thinking it was best to just not do anything. "You're in a mood," Ron spoke wiping the grease off his mouth with the back of his hand. Hermione rolled her eyes, that was clearly not the right thing to say to her in this moment.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiRWakdNgc
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB9OM0OE63
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4JR84fCHS
"Of course I am, Ron! I have told you a million times why! Will you just leave it alone?" "Bloody hell. Okay.." There was a silence in the air before Ron decided he could not leave it alone. "I just don't understand. Why is this such a big deal?"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHAXpzmsc9
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRdKPjj8cp

Harry sensed a big fight coming and he didn't especially want to be in the middle of it again. He figured it'd pass over like it always did, so he stood up slowly leaving his dinner untouched, and strode out of the Great Hall. His friends were too heated to notice he had left.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrzJVPBEm9

It turned out even with the war over, things were still determined to not be okay. Hermione and Ron had been arguing for the past few weeks and though it was obvious they were hiding something from him, Harry decided to ignore it. He didn't want to meddle in things he didn't need to meddle in. Besides Hermione had nearly cursed him last he asked why she was in a mood, so he decided to let it go.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hFIYuv0xP

For a moment, Harry thought about returning to Gryffindor Tower to retrieve his invisibility cloak so he could avoid the looks everyone were still determined to give him. But, he thought better of it and decided to go to a place he seldom visited anymore.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigwLgf7NWu

As he approached the hallway of the Room of Requirement he watched a certain blonde he'd been missing in the Great Hall waltz out. There was a second that passed where Harry hesitated. Malfoy was clearly in a hurry, going the opposite direction to get to the dungeons surely, but Harry missed their playful teasing. That was something that was normal in his life, but yet not even that was happening anymore.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyTYfGFoDK
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoogBLNWK7t
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp8ObpOZOG
His voice seemed to make up its own mind, because just a second before Malfoy turned the corner and was gone from his sight he shouted, "Malfoy!"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3MU2XYxlf
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d4XsWMHXL

He only said it once but the call was enough to make Draco stall. He slowly turned around, his shirt was askew and his hair a mess. It was a curious sight to Harry; he wasn't used to seeing him so unorderly. Granted this reminded him of the night only a week ago. His bags under his eyes didn't seem as bad then though as they did now.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfaGyWLqFc

"What do you want now, Potter? Come to call me a homophobe again?" Malfoy gritted his teeth, but showed no other signs of aggression. In fact he seemed too tired to want to fight. Harry was annoyed at the situation. Why couldn't anything be normal in his life anymore?901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFwFqvTQJK

"No, Malfoy. I was actually coming to the Room of Requirement. But, I see I'm not the only one coming. Get a lot of wanking done in there?" He quirked an eyebrow up at him. The words falling out of his mouth were getting twisted in his mind. He wasn't sure what he was saying, he just wanted them to get back to fighting and he wasn't sure what got them fighting in the first place so he decided to go for what made him uncomfortable.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN7wG1lVTl
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNJNg2D4Wy
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUX8VlqdUp
Malfoy shifted his weight on his feet debating his response. Harry decided it was best to stop him before he could think of something too clever. "Wait I forgot you don't have a dick to wank."901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJDG8Orpjr
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKYSj6d9QE
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKOYKIZWzX
Something broke in him and Harry watched his lip twitch a bit before he continued his façade. "Must we really go back over this insult, Potter? We're running in circles, aren't we better than this?"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ0dyd89Kw
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9oBvEMRzL
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2L3QXC88g
At some point Harry's body must have decided to start walking because at the end of Draco's question he was only a foot away from him. "I agree.." Harry bit his lip, finally deciding if nothing was normal he must as well screw everything completely up.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTsd7QYnYJ
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DCtNCfroZ

"Can we try something different, Malfoy? Like.. Instead of insulting each other or trying to curse each other we just.." He trailed off unsure. Malfoy seemed too tired to argue. "Like. I just thought. Maybe.. maybe we could be friends?"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNixY1T3R7U
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHksyRVq0Ac
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK69w5noCX
That seemed to finally waken something inside Malfoy. "I couldn't care less about being friends with a mudblood lover like you, Potter." The teasing was back and somehow things had fallen back into normal. But, for some reason Harry was now disappointed they had.
