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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmSEdnvRcI 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL2ACCRW0C

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC9kUKoYJc 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pi1G7UxM7

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKR5ubqren 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUIL4vZ9bw

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxQxwSvnUo 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCUoVak9cf

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyHLmL5yUA 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNA2dhJENY

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡssCmWi7y0e 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFnCJUkpsv

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqhuTivfc4 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgWk8Gg2bH

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EvevtHE0q 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcrAyaLpsQ

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?8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA6CCZpjb2 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVUUdoPRYA

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QkX2NHdTl 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPs2vAGGJV

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOTxYwdV0S 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWJWIynAvZ

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡupzKMgdLlg 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvRxQxSPpx

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡppL5zToQiL 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni9uQFWKzp

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlKkap01K9 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkyQQG1myr

"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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTVBOnOjO9 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp2Eqw8tPl

"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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVwTyNBR4u 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvX4FhZbw5

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKLY19wmYy 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9HzaKzW65

"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?"8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMrxIa8DpW 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq7SZMcKAk

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡLajijtDMBS 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uaaHLtY3h

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeRvguPkwK 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrQhrYIwS9

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi1bovSRPy 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkRtoBqDpR

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd7U1Sftsv 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28drkzTrk7

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡiupvpNOjNN 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmqFJOGbj0

"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?8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT7rrNBU7f 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh26zfckMd

"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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFwgCkaLjD 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPmSZI35fL

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYBSIwQBVS 維尼347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTenFCNh53

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.8964 copyright protection343ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHhRuhLf8Y 維尼
