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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAq1oBaAYmvb

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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAd8G8ZpiE2L

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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAr1a43zYuqJ

650Please respect copyright.PENANA11p8eGGUeO
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAtt10j0VQwc

650Please respect copyright.PENANALUlgKlm8I1
But, people weren't afraid of him.650Please respect copyright.PENANA1OCu09HTOy
It turned out people avoided him because they were disgusted.650Please respect copyright.PENANAZS6iN1qcka

He did understand the debt he owed Harry, but they had let it go.650Please respect copyright.PENANAahvNCF8ckd
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANANedCJa1xN6
650Please respect copyright.PENANAQSNU6bFeue
650Please respect copyright.PENANAYEJZclbXbD
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAm4gm7EVOWu
650Please respect copyright.PENANAtMdEHEa5qu

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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAetGKpYEL1S

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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAWFRJGcROfh

650Please respect copyright.PENANA8wWgGnLLNr
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANADhV34uI3pz

650Please respect copyright.PENANAFe64GeEAUU
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAaWCFSgdaIU
650Please respect copyright.PENANAOWbJelUT88

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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAdmgzRpQmsM
650Please respect copyright.PENANAZCDG6ctqtY
650Please respect copyright.PENANAfdFrjSPQFc
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANA3S6gEmuG8w
650Please respect copyright.PENANAKFaCPAQ01S
650Please respect copyright.PENANA7zAMzKgyAU
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAdOwZHqsuQx

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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAshktYl5bUL
650Please respect copyright.PENANA7auRl77WZn
650Please respect copyright.PENANAGAUTUHt12y
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANATskcu6iFrr
650Please respect copyright.PENANAy2w5Seieuu
650Please respect copyright.PENANAR5XFnb1L1Q
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAdwTIbdD7sl
650Please respect copyright.PENANAg2jKVO3dnL
650Please respect copyright.PENANACVty9rRoMG
"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.650Please respect copyright.PENANASBdRvlSC6i
650Please respect copyright.PENANAwZmMtlPMup
650Please respect copyright.PENANAvh2f49FL99
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAxTxXcIwJjh
650Please respect copyright.PENANA4Le9L61VXz
650Please respect copyright.PENANAS3CgTtsVrK
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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAOkDImYmOas
650Please respect copyright.PENANAFqOvFsGwXX
650Please respect copyright.PENANAD9luiHMedA
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANA4F148pa0h4
650Please respect copyright.PENANAjShejALNTl
650Please respect copyright.PENANAmDYoBED3xG
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAgJHq7WQRBW
650Please respect copyright.PENANAkM0uq5TTHo
650Please respect copyright.PENANAjDEw0pCMp2
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAu6OF0BjJBl
650Please respect copyright.PENANARH7BbDCQVA
650Please respect copyright.PENANAepq6qHyB9u
"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."650Please respect copyright.PENANAPVtd47cizX
650Please respect copyright.PENANAvkerpICutK
650Please respect copyright.PENANAhtNqTJCA08
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAyQW6J9VAVu
650Please respect copyright.PENANAUZLEsrdfvk
650Please respect copyright.PENANAzrkxRnCBir
"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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAhI5lXaDJ4C
650Please respect copyright.PENANAfUz14fyTGa
650Please respect copyright.PENANAuBSnUqYCjz
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?"650Please respect copyright.PENANAD10xgAuNbd
650Please respect copyright.PENANAvbLjX46B19
650Please respect copyright.PENANAcMRrPYlWMg
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANA2iBuoF9hOS
650Please respect copyright.PENANAjSrlM9q7Ti
650Please respect copyright.PENANAOErxbepLLd
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAFsaMasH3fW
650Please respect copyright.PENANAra0u2czLgg
650Please respect copyright.PENANAAVMNb9GKGJ
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAwALWBf5rjD
650Please respect copyright.PENANA5CP1w6mPmn
650Please respect copyright.PENANAV2H2StjDeR
"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.
