"Potter!" a voice yelled behind Harry. Harry turned around to see a slightly breathless Draco Malfoy running towards him.
The two former enemies had hardly ever talked since the war and Harry really didn't feel like starting a fight at the moment.
"Yes Malfoy?" he asked civilly crossing his arms over his chest in an unconscious defensive pose.
Draco paused for a bit to catch his breath while still keeping his cool exterior. "Potter" Malfoy said in an equally civil tone surprising the green eyed Gryffindor. "I just wanted to say" Draco said only faltering slightly "thank you for saving my life during the final battle. You didn't have to."
Harry raised his eyebrows at that, being one of the last things he would have expected. "Alright" he began unsure and shrugged "It was no big deal, anyone would have done it"
Draco snorted. "No anyone else wouldn't have done it. Not even one of your fellow Gryffindorks." Draco held up a hand to stop Harry's angry protest "Not many people would have helped a death eater even if they did go to school with them. So thanks."
Harry managed a small smile clearly not liking being thanked. He never had liked all the credit he received for the war, and the attention he got just for his scar. "You're welcome Malfoy. It was nothing, seriously forget about it."
Draco muttered something that sounded suspiciously like 'halfbloods, almost as bad as mudbloods' before meeting his gaze coolly. "Listen Potter, it wasn't just nothing. You saved my life, and I owe you a life debt now."
Harry squirmed uncomfortably "You don't-"
"Look Potter" Draco ground out "As loathe as I am to admit it I'm in debt to you. Anything you want from me, as a pureblood I have to give it to you."
For the life of him Harry couldn't figure out why his stomach gave a small lurch at 'give it to you'. This was Draco Malfoy. Harry shuddered.
"So what do you want Potter?"
Harry sighed "Honestly nothing"
Draco scowled "Well than you better think of something, something big enough to repay you for saving my life."
"Well" Harry said slowly "I'm falling behind in potions . . . you could tutor me."
"You think that's proper payback?" Draco asked dubiously raising an eyebrow.
"If we can get through this with me getting a more than passing grade without killing each other, than yes."
Draco let his eyes rove up and down Harry's body "Fine. Meet me in theRoom of Requirement. We'll have access to more books there, tonight at eight."
"It still works?" Harry questioned incredulously.
Draco looked down at the raven haired boy in disdain and sniffed "Of course, it takes a lot more to destroy a room like that built by the founders than a simple fire."
Harry smirked "And yet it can almost destroy the great Draco Malfoy"
The blonde smirked "Eight o clock. Don't. Be. Late. Potter." And with that he swept away blue robes billowing behind him in a very Snape like manner.
Raising his eyebrows in amazement that they had actually had a civil conversation Harry walked back to the Gryffindor tower to relax for bit. As Draco made his way down to his head boy room he breathed an unconscious sigh of relief. Potions he could do.
AN: short I know, but I promise the next chapter will be longer. I guess it's not that smart for me to start another chapter Fic when I'm doing two at the moment and about to post a fourth but, I'll try to update soon. No flames please! Review!
Reviews are Love! =D
