The next day Draco stirred as he had been having the most wonderful dream and it felt so real. He felt warm and it was a comfortable feeling. He went to sit up but something a bit heavy seemed to be on his chest and he tried to lightly at first move it. He opened his eyes and was surprised that a sleeping Harry lay there covering him.Draco for a moment was unsure why Harry would be on his bed with him but then he recalled that they had been talking about Quidditch and fallen asleep.
Harry stirred and opened his eyes and looked at the blurry world around him. He groaned a moment despite having been in the best and deepest sleep of his life and was a bit let sown that he had awaken.He reached for his spectacles but then he felt something warm and soft connect with his fingers. Draco made a cough as he looked down at a now awake Harry who's hand was on his lap and dangerously close to wrapping around his...
"Good morning Harry.Hold on let me hand you your glasses. "
Draco said this reaching over and plucking the glasses off the little table between their beds and placing them on his friends nose. As he had done this Harry had sat up and was smiling. Draco smiled back and they both got up to get dressed. As they were dressing both realized it was very quiet in the room. The curtains had been opened and they were alone in the small dormitory.
"What time is it?"
Harry asked as Draco was lacing up his boots and the blonde for a moment stopped and then his eyes got huge as he looked at Harry.
"Ten o clock! We're late for transfiguration!"
Draco said as he finished lacing his dragon hide boots and both boys dressed quickly and made their way down the large staircase and into the commonroom. Both were in a rush as the picture of the fat lady scoulded them for slamming the doorway shut on her portrait as they exited Gryffindor tower.However they were out of ear shot as they ran down the staircase and it shifted .Both boys for a moment stood in surprise as the stairs had changed and they were now pointed towards the east tower and not where they were suppose to be going. The boys got off the stairwell and moved now running as they just made the right staircase as it was shifting again and soon both were down the hallways and just outside the Transfiguration classroom.
They entered the classroom as they did so they saw everyone looking at them. Ron snickered and Neville's eyes opened wide. Hermione frowned and shook her head. They saw a large gray and black cat sitting on the desk and both found a seat and gave a sigh of relief.
"We just made it."
Harry said as he looked at Draco and smiled at him. However in that moment to their surprise the cat jumped off the desk and turned into Professor McGonagall and she walked toward the late boys.
"Mr Potter and Malfoy, in the future do not be late for my class."
This was all Minerva McGonagall said as she then turned and began to walk back to her desk and waved her wand at the blackboard and it began to write their assignment. Harry took out his quill and parchment or would have if he had remembered to bring his school bag. He frowned and then he was handed a quill and parchment paper by Draco who gave him a nod and they both began to take notes as the professor began to speak on Gamps law of transfiguration.
Several of the Slytherin students sneered in both Draco and Harry's direction and while Minerva's back was turned Gregory Goyle threw a wadded up piece of parchment at Draco. As he did the paper ball was about to hit Draco in the head who was not noticing it as he had his head down when to his surprise Harry reached up his hand and caught it easily and went back to his assignment.Minerva who had caught the last second saw this and she for a moment just was left in thought. A second later she turned back again to write more on the board and Goyle again tried to get Draco's attention by throwing a dung bomb. As this happened Draco saw it coming and ducked and the dung bomb landed right under Ron's chair and went off.
The classroom erupted in chaos as the smoke and foul stench filled the air and Professor McGonagall found herself ushering out her students and walking over to Ron's chair where the bomb had gone off and swished her wand vanishing it. In the hallway the students had gathered and Ron was red faced and he lifted his wand in Draco's direction.
"Duel Malfoy! I know you did it!"
As he said this he went to wave his wand when it was floated away by a very disgruntled looking Snape who had come out to see what had been the ruckus. He had been in the Potions storeroom down the hall and saw what Ron Weasley was about to do. He looked at the red haired boy with a look of contempt and then over to his Godsonn and sighed.
"Ten points from Gryffindor for this display of childishness and obvious insubordination."
"Each now get back to your classroom"
As he said this the first years Gryffindors, all looked up at Severus Snape in fright all except for Draco who looked rather upsetHe was about to speak and tell his Godfather that Goyle had thrown a dungbomb which made the classroom reak and smell foul when Professor McGoinagall in that moment called them all back into the class as she had removed the smell of dung from the room.
Draco and Harry were walking together after this class and both were rather hungry having skipped breakfast. Luckily for them it was lunchtime and they made their way towards the Great hall when suddenly their way was blocked by Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe.
"Think you are going somewhere Gryffindork?"
Asked Crabbe as he sneered and looked at Harry and then to Draco.
"Get out of our way Crabbe!"
Draco oredered as he looked at the taller and bigger boy.For a moment Crabbe did not move but then he hesitated as he saw the look on the pale blond'e face. He backed up and let them pass but in doning so he tripped Harry who bumped into Draco who bumped and knocked down Neville who was carrying Trevor and the toad flung and went down the back of Hermione's blouse.
Hermione shrieked as she was trying to get the toad off of her. She was crying as it seemed to go further down her back as she wiggled and moved to get it out of her clothes. Neville was gasping and blushing as the Slytherin boys fell down laughing at the antics. Soon the prefects arrived and Percy and Audrey calmed down Hermione and Marcus Flint joined in with the laughing at the Gryffindors. After this Hermione spent the day up in her dormitory embarassed and crying and worrying about getting warts.
Neville had tried to apoligize to Hermione once classes were over by getting her some wild flowers but the stairs would not let him up and he failed several times falling as the stairs to the girls dorm turned into a slide. Finally he sat down and looked utterly defeated and miserable. Draco and Harry were in the commonroom whene this was going on and watched in entertainment as Neville was making a fool of himself.
"You won't see me making such a fool out of myself over a girl Harry!"
Draco said this as he marked his place in his Transfiguration book and for a moment stretched his arms up over his head. Harry looked up at Draco and was about to comment that all Neville was trying to do was apoligize when Draco walked over towards the staircase and looked at it a moment and then he took the flowers from Neville and he climbed up the banister and walked up the staircase. He reached the top and he was able to get to the first years dormitory.
Harry and Neville were both shocked and amazed he was able to do that. Draco however went and found the door to the first years students dormitory and knocked. As he did this he was surprised when Hermione had answered the door and she had not scoulded him for breaking the rules but just stood there and looked at him and then the flowers and grinned and hugged him. For a moment Draco did not move as he had never been hugged a day in his whole life and here was a girl, a mudblood girl no less hugging him.
"Yeah well Neville says he is sorry and stop touching me Granger now I have to bathe!"
As he said this he handed her the flowers and left and made his way down the stairs and slid down them easily. Hermione had come and stood at the railing of the floor above and watched Draco and smiled.
"I forgive you Longbottom! And thank you Draco it was really nice of you!"
As she said this she smiled and then went back to her dorm smiling and sighing in happiness. Draco simply went back to his book,opened it and went back to reading his lesson. Harry smiled at the gesturte his friend had done and went back to his own lessons with a grin on his face.
Goddess bless!
