Bumping this up again! Let's finish this out! We only have 2 days to complete it!

The house-elves had outdone themselves once again. The decadent spread should have been enough to keep anyone's attention. Ron's eyes certainly hadn't wavered. Yet, Harry couldn't stop his gaze from sliding across to the Slytherin table. Parkinson and Malfoy were leaning in and snickering together, and Harry knew they were up to something, but he didn't know what it was, yet something told him it was nothing good. Suspicious, Harry vowed to keep a closer eye on the two of them.

"Harry!" Hermione poked him in the ribs. "Don't tell me you're still watching Malfoy."

He was about to deny it when her glare silenced him. He considered his possible responses. He didn't want another sixth year (even though he had been right) but Hermione was both smart and stubborn, and would likely pick up on the true reason he watched Malfoy. He didn't look forward to another talk about his behavior.

"He's up to something," he muttered around a mouthful of a sweet buttered roll.

"Is he?" Hermione's look was entirely too knowing.

"I don't like the way he's looking at you, Harry," Ron grabbed a roll for himself and bit into it. "He watches you as much

(I think we lost all our formatting... is there any chance you can go grab that on your next reply?)

"I don't like the way he's looking at you, Harry," Ron grabbed a roll for himself and bit into it. "He watches you as much as you watch him."

Does he? Harry tried to catch Malfoy at it, but the other boy never seemed to look up. Maybe he should

do something to catch his attention, but what could he do. Harry chewed the roll slowly as he thought about a few ways.

[kitty_fic]

He was deep in thought when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned and looked over his shoulder.

Parkinson stood there, examining one varnished red nail rather than looking at him. "You should go to the abandoned Charms classroom at half eight tonight."

Harry frowned. "Is there a reason why I should go?" He wondered why Parkinson delivered the message as Hermione and Ron whispered to each other behind him.

[kitty_fic]

Parkinson rolled her eyes and flicked a nail. "Fine, don't go then." She shrugged indifferently. "This wasn't my idea anyway."

"Who's idea was it?" Harry

[tryslora]

asked, frustrated.

Parkinson rolled her eyes. "If you're truly that much of an idiot, I can't understand what he sees in you." She turns and

stalks away.

Harry cocked his head and glanced over to the Slytherin table, his eyes automatically landing on Draco.

Draco met his gaze and arched

an eyebrow as a small smirk graced his lips. He quickly got rid of it and turned back to his food.

Harry turned back to his table as many thoughts passed through his mind.

[kitty_fic]

He dropped his fork, not nearly as hungry as he had been a moment ago. He looked at his watch, counting the minutes until half-eight.

Harry swirled the pumpkin juice in his goblet as he tried to calm down. He checked the time, it inched closer to half eight. He saw Draco walk pass his table out the corner of his eye. He couldn't help it, he got up and followed him.

[kitty_fic]

"Where are you going?" Hermione called after him.

"I, um, have to check on something." He answered over his shoulder as he hurried after Draco.

Harry followed Draco to the empty Charms classroom. He didn't know what to expect or if he should go alone, but he couldn't turn back. He licked his lips as he walked inside.

"Potter," Draco said from his place perched on an old desk. "I was worried you wouldn't come."

Harry shrugged. "I'm still not sure why

[blossomdreams.livejournal.com]

I showed up, but I'm here. What did you want? Why did you call me here?"

Draco sighed and shook his head. "You can be so dense sometimes."

[kitty_fic]

"I half expected you to hex me when I walked in."

"That's the last thing on my mind. I thought you'd have figured that much

by now."

Harry walked closer to him. "I've learned it's hard to figure out what you're going to do. So, what is it? What do you want to tell me?" He leaned against the closest desk to Draco.

[kitty_fic]

"How about I show you instead?" Draco took a step away from the desk

Harry reached for his wand, never taking his eyes off Draco as he moved closer.

Draco placed his hand on Harry's wrist and lowered his hand down. "So clueless..." he whispered as he stepped closer to Harry and pressed their lips together.
