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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAVj54X0tGe0

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANA1MaizP4iM9

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAYPHBDCGyNV

688Please respect copyright.PENANAARRSiGxdJb
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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAgjgc3N7T1T

But, people weren't afraid of him.688Please respect copyright.PENANAzS88nzAUMx
It turned out people avoided him because they were disgusted.688Please respect copyright.PENANAUv76glkSQt

He did understand the debt he owed Harry, but they had let it go.688Please respect copyright.PENANAKjV3hRTbWk
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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAADfocGN2ZO

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANATYtpNVGDk8

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAj6GqzBBtXe

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANALht3i7nCOU

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANA095KndqByW

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAd9EHykNWTm

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAbYvhQFh34O

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAmjbOzw64CR
688Please respect copyright.PENANAwK7mtYDDHh

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ0IalTj4O

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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAy5lBERNy9r

688Please respect copyright.PENANAiDjaTC01FI
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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAoy61kxriGw
688Please respect copyright.PENANAZAaGrHqEVN
688Please respect copyright.PENANAuF2SKxztSV
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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAnt8Gu40jqd
688Please respect copyright.PENANAXJZKmcen79
688Please respect copyright.PENANAMHJKbjHEfw
"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.688Please respect copyright.PENANA7GDHdrID1n
688Please respect copyright.PENANAdSSJLRcuKX
688Please respect copyright.PENANAH42sOd0IzN
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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAZvinWhU9iR

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."688Please respect copyright.PENANASCYJkZMYq0
688Please respect copyright.PENANAIyS2aSjCg0
688Please respect copyright.PENANAEAWLHPWcQ1
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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAqdWorL1UMU
688Please respect copyright.PENANAk9LPDC6W50
688Please respect copyright.PENANAe4YcbiFYMZ
"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."688Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7C6NbMIZC
688Please respect copyright.PENANAlvMyQ9qJWv
688Please respect copyright.PENANACgKoS1nByv
"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."688Please respect copyright.PENANAJLwaQMYLzb
688Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9DDzhfQiN
688Please respect copyright.PENANAp9zwE6udDy
"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."688Please respect copyright.PENANAUHK4uIKXGt
688Please respect copyright.PENANAg629b5Zxj5
688Please respect copyright.PENANA4FSj7x5FDC
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.688Please respect copyright.PENANA65f3m8gYwh
688Please respect copyright.PENANASZJSgbSOtv
688Please respect copyright.PENANAqjV1KmHAOG
"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?"688Please respect copyright.PENANAxIYlUh62hW
688Please respect copyright.PENANAPIMeg8Z4qv

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?"688Please respect copyright.PENANAxnZwXare6m
688Please respect copyright.PENANAifGyIo7b8A
688Please respect copyright.PENANAAuJiHQUgPR
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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAgK7Gqd8usT
688Please respect copyright.PENANA2nST2icKYq
688Please respect copyright.PENANAqxTLXhIPT7
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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAn121zGnAdF
688Please respect copyright.PENANAa0qFyd7MdY
688Please respect copyright.PENANAJuIbQtUMn2
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.688Please respect copyright.PENANAX36Ng9lsUg
688Please respect copyright.PENANAv5b33lGJkz

"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.
