A/N HI SUNSHINES!!!! I've returned from my leave of absence… Did you all miss me lol. Well let's continue shall we?
"Severus, how are your first classes?" Draco asked as he walked into the chemistry room.
Severus sighed, "Painful, Draco, very painful…And I have to deal with Potter next block. Just kill me now Draco, please." He said dramatically.
Draco snickered, "If Potter fails miserably then I will tutor him in return for his math tutoring."
Snape laughed, "Potter! Tutor someone! Draco you will surely fail." He shifted a beaker to the other side of the desk and handed Draco a pile of papers and some name cards, "Pass these out please."
Draco snatched them, "Really, uncle, you don't need to be so mean." He scolded putting two papers on each lab table. "Do you mind if I sit by Potter?" He questioned coming to their names.
Snape raised an eyebrow, "You like him, don't you?" he stated.
Draco blushed, the colour clashing awfully with his light skin and hair. "Shut up Uncle, someone may hear you!"
Snape chuckled lightly, "Have you spilled to your father yet?"
Draco's eyes widened, "No way, he would disown me!"
The chemistry teacher frowned, "You could stay with me if that happened, you'll never be happy if you hide it."
Students started filtering into the room and he abruptly ceased the discussion, "Please find your seats! Do not move name tags!" Snape snapped as the room began to fill.
Harry moved in alone with Ron, "Hi Draco, I'm by you." Harry stated smiling.
Draco nodded plopping into his seat, "Yea I saw that. You okay? You look kinda sick or something."
Harry nodded, "First day of school always wears me out. It's okay though. Are you still coming over after…?"
"Potter! Shut up." Snape growled scrawling something on the board, "Pay attention."
Harry slid down further into his seat and sulked.
Draco felt anger surge through him at the way his uncle had treated the boy when he knew that Draco liked him.
"Don't worry," Draco whispered, "He won't be like this everyday."
Harry snorted and glanced at the notebook in front of him, Draco was surprised to see it was already filled with neatly scrawled notes.
Snape addressed the class once more, "Unlike the other years, we will be totally redoing the lesson plans."
Harry looked absolutely heart broken, like someone told him his dog died or something.
Draco patted Harry's shoulder and glared at his uncle, "I'll help you with Chem if you help me with Calc class."
Harry smiled, "Deal."
Snape droned on about some kind of chemical compound and snapped at them all to leave two minutes before the bell rang.
"On to art!" Harry exclaimed practically skipping down the hallway, ignoring as Draco and Ron laughing following behind him.
They said goodbye to Ron and entered the art room, the smell of fresh paint assaulting their noses.
"Harry, Dear!" Mrs. Trelawney cried as he sat in his usually seat, "Welcome to art again!"
Harry smiled, "Thank you ma'am."
She glanced at Draco through her huge glasses, "Welcome Mr. Malfoy."
He nodded politely but didn't say anything, he looked uncomfortable…
She wandered over to her desk and picked up a piece of chalk, "We will state by using grids… to sketch something of your choosing, black and white photos are the easiest to do grid drawings of… so take your own pictures, or find one off the back table... You may begin."
"Wow, she's all action huh?" Draco mumbled, "When do you want me tonight?"
Harry stood up and beckoned him to the back table, "I get a ride with Ron and Hermione, do you want to go with us or come later?"
Draco ran a hand through his blonde hair messing it up, "Potter! Stop answering my questions with questions!" he whined.
Harry's green eyes lit up with laughter and so he was kneeling on the floor with sheer enjoyment at hearing Draco Malfoy whine.
Draco frowned, "I'll swing by later I suppose, I ought to get some extra clothes." He murmured grabbing a picture of a soccer player off the table and stalking back to his seat.
Harry's amusement turned to worry, "Oh, Draco, I'm sorry." he called, "I was being a brat."
"Yes, no problem, Potter." Draco replied drawing a one by one inch grid on his paper.
Harry sighed and plopped down, pulling a worn photo from his bag.
After a few moments of silence Draco's voice interrupted Harry's thoughts.
"Are those your parents?" he whispered, gently taking the photograph from Harry's hands.
Harry bit his lip and nodded.
"You're mom is so beautiful… even in black and white. You look just like your father."
Harry breathed out heavily, "Yea, she was beautiful… She died when I was young, she my father and I got into a car crash, it was a miracle I survived."
"Bad road conditions, or something else?" Draco pried, silently urging himself just to shut up but his curiosity got the best of him.
"Drunk teenage driver, some kid name Tom Riddle." Harry spat involuntarily shivering. "I hope I never seen him I would probably hit him."
Draco handed Harry his picture back, "Wow I'm so sorry, I never knew." He said, genuinely sorry.
Harry shrugged, "Sometimes shitty things happen to amazing people." He muttered.
Draco nodded, still frowning and went back to his work.
The bell ran sometime later and everyone piled out, Draco grabbed Harry's hand. "Call me, when you want me to come over." He stated scribbling out his number on the other boy's hand.
Harry nodded, "If I don't call before six, just show up, I'll probably be really absorbed in my photos."
Draco nodded once and they parted ways to find their friends.
A/n Is that good? I promise I'll try to update more often.
