For You

by Tajala

Draco stared anxiously and confused at the small paper. It was folded into a tiny square only about 1cm x 1cm. It fit perfectly in his hand. What did Potter plan this time. The last time he had gotten such a letter they had duelled in the room of requirement, but that was already six months ago. Since then it never happened again that Potter got so angry and if Draco was truthful with himself, he knew that it was his fault that Potter was so mad, that he had challenged him to that duel.

But today… What did I do this time? he asked himself. He was sure that there was nothing. Overall they hadn't had a good fight in a few weeks. They just stopped their childish rivalry and ignored each other.

So it was no wonder Draco was anxious about the paper in his hand. He had found it in his pocket after he had bumped into Potter before Transfiguration. They didn't even exchange one word or insult for that matter. Draco would have forgotten about the incident if it wasn't for that paper in his hand. Straightening his back Draco decided it was no good to stall any longer. Finally opening it, he quickly read what was written there in Potter's handwriting.

When he was done, he stood frozen on the spot staring at it for a full minute before being able to comprehend what Potter had written. What the hell was this guy thinking? After his brain began functioning again, he took off down the hallway. He had to find a certain person. While he ran his brain reviewed every single word for him over and over again in his head.

It hadn't been a letter or a command to meet for a long overdue duel, it was a poem. So unbelievable that it had to be a joke. It had to be. Draco's brain ran amok while he was running through the hallways. What was the alternative if it wasn't a joke? What was he supposed to do? Could it be an opportunity for him? And again his brain provided him with the poem without a conscious thought.
