Chapter 1: The Note

Harry wakes up to a banging on his door. He crawls out of his bed, and walked to the door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Hold your horses!"

He grabbed the handle and turned it. As he pulled the door open he heard departing steps. He tried to see who it was, but the person was already gone. He picks up the note and reads it to himself.

Dear Harry,

Meet me in the commons of the Slytherin Building at exactly 1:09 AM. No later, and no sooner. See you then Potter.

Love,

Draco

"Draco? Why does Draco want to meet me? Why so early? Why did he sign it Love Draco?" He thought to himself.

Harry had so many questions that needed answering, and he intended on getting those answers, but not now. He quickly got dressed and ran to the Dining room. He wasn't sure why Draco couldn't just talk to him there. He knew they'd see each other. The tables they sit are literally right next to each other. Harry walked to his table and sat in between his two best friends: Hermione, and Ron.

"You guys, I have something I need to show you, and I need help deciding what to do, because I have zero idea!"

They both nodded and Harry pulled the note out making it visible to Ron and Hermione. They read the letter, looked at eachother then at Harry.

"Draco wrote you this?!" Ron asked.

"Draco Malfoy." Hermione repeated in disbelief.

"No. Draco Chips wrote it. Yes Draco Malfoy. To be honest I have no idea what he could want and I'm scared to find out, but what if it's not bad and I miss it. I need to go, don't I?" Harry looked at his friends.

"Ya, you do" Both Ron and Hermione said in sync.

Harry turns around in his seat to see The Draco Malfoy staring at him. Harry turned away then looked back at him. Draco's eyes were still on him. He tapped his friends and they spun around. As they did, so did Draco. Harry sat in his seat properly and didn't say a world for the rest of lunch. The bell finally rang after what felt like forever.

"See you guys later," Harry waved and walked to his third class of the day.

"Harry? Harry Potter. MR. POTTER!!" His teacher yelled.

He jumped up in surprise. "What note? I didn't get a note!"

All of a sudden, all eyes were on Harry. Draco got up and ran out of the class. The teacher looked at him, and went to teaching whatever she was teaching that day.

"Oh my god, it was so embarrassing you guys. I was thinking about the note, and spaced. The teacher yelled my name and I responded with, What note? I didn't get a note! Draco ran out of class after that, and I haven't seen him since class. Do you still think he'll show tonight?" Harry told his best friends once in his room.

"Ummm Hermione. I'll let you take this." Ron smiles at her.

Hermione rolls her eyes. "A: Make sure you don't doze off in class again! Did he look at you before running out? C: I think he'll show, but I can't say for sure. And D: Do you WANT him to show up?"

"I won't I can guarantee that, I don't think he looked at me. Just ran out. I think I want him to be there. I just.. I don't know Hermione." Harry sat on the bed with his head in his hands. "Hermione you know that I used to have a tiny crush on Draco. I'm finally forgetting about that. What if going makes me feel for him again?"

Hermione put her arm around Harry's shoulder to comfort him. "Hey, It's all gonna be okay. If at any time you need, just leave."

"Thanks Hermione. Thanks Ron. I think I need to sleep before tonight. I'll see you guys tomorrow and I'll let you know what happened."

They left Harry's room. He plopped down in his bed, and let out a sigh. He tried to fall asleep, he really did, but he couldn't stop thinking about what Draco wanted. He pulled out a book and began reading. He thought it had only been a few minutes, when he looked at the time, it was 1:02 AM. He jumped out of his bed and ran as fast as he could to the Slytherin building. It was 1:09 when he walked in. Right on time. Harry stepped into the commons and was surprised to see Draco standing across from him. He slowly approached him....
