*Note: I do not own any of these characters*

Harry looked out the window of the train, anticipating his return to Hogwarts for his eighth year. Ron and Hermione sat across from him, holding hands and whispering in each others ears and giggling. Luna and Neville shared a row with him, but he didn't seem to notice. He was wondering if a certain blonde haired boy would be returning as well.

"Harry?" asked Luna, "What's on your mind? You've been staring out the window motionless the entire trip." Harry jolted awake from his daydreaming.

"O-oh, was I?" he asked, as a blush crept up his neck. Ron chuckled and looked over.

"Yeah mate, you've been distracted the whole time. You don't happen to be thinking about someone special do you?" he joked. Harry let out a nervous laugh.

"Uh, huh-ha, u-um, no way!" he cried defensively.

"Oooohh who is it Harry?" Neville asked slyly.

"I told you, it's no one! There's no one on my mind! Can we just get there already?!" he spat out. Hermione eyed him.

"Well you don't have to get so defensive Harry, they were just trying to get a rise out of you. Besides, Cho left, you broke up with Ginny, and there's no other girl I can think of that you'd possibly be interested in who isn't already dating someone." she explained

Harry sighed. "That's because it's not only girls I'm interested in." he thought to himself. Suddenly, the train came to a halt. The abrupt stop startled the group, as they realized they had finally arrived at Hogwarts.

After the pack of eighth year students grabbed all their trunks and made their way into the Great Hall and sat down, Professor McGonagall, the new Head Mistress, strode up to the podium.

"Welcome back students. It's lovely to see all of your faces one more time; although I don't see all of you. This year, the living arrangements will be different. Since there are no extra rooms in your old houses, you will stay in dorms with one common area and five bedrooms, each with their own bathroom." she explained.

"What?! We don't even get to stay in our houses?!" Ron whispered angrily.

"Shhhh, I'm sure we'll be with other Gryffindors, just in a different dorm." Hermione reassured him softly.

"Since some students did not return, you will not be staying with your housemates exclusively, and will be mixed amongst yourselves." McGonagall continued.

"What?!" Ron spat, this time out loud.

"That's right Mr. Weasley, you will have to learn to be versatile this time I'm afraid." she quipped back. A whisper broke out between the students as they all discussed the new arrangements. McGonagall raised her hand, demanding silence. "We have made the lists already and I will call out the dorm number, students who will be staying there, and students who will be sharing a room."

Harry silently wished he would at least get in the same dorm as his crush. That way he could see him more often, even though they didn't have the most cooperative history.

"Dorm number one!" McGonagall started, "Parvati Patel, and Lavender Brown in room one. Susan Bones and Hannah Abbott in room two. Padma Patel and Trevor Boot in room three..."

Hermione scooted over closer to Harry as McGonagall droned on.

"At least they're putting everyone together no matter what gender. That means you might get to share a room with You-Know-Who" she smirked and nudged an elbow into his side.

"Hermione!" Harry blushed, "Keep your voice down before someone hears you!" She was the only one he trusted enough to tell about his bisexuality and who he liked. McGonagall cleared her throat.

"Dorm number five!" she continued, "Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood in room one" The group started to get anxious, hoping they'd all be put together. "Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley in room two. Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson to room three. Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan to room four." Everyone held their breath in suspense, trusting Harry to be in their dorm. "And in room five, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy" she ended.

Everyone gasped. Harry sat there in shock as his friends starting talking to him all at once about how he was put with his arch-nemesis. Harry didn't hear anyone. He sat glued to the spot, staring at Draco, who's eyes bore into his. He couldn't believe his luck. He was put together with Draco Malfoy. The boy he'd liked since first year.

*End of Chapter One*

So this was my first time writing fanfiction and I'd love to hear feedback. Next chapter, everyone moves in and Harry and Draco encounter a problem.
