Under the Invisibility Cloak

Reverse Flow

A/N April 2023: hi so my story has been out for a while now and it's weird (but cool) to think that people are still reading it for the first time. there are two kinds of comments that i still frequently get and i want to address them really fast. first the whole "how come Draco doesn't feel the cloak/how can he feel Harry through it" to all the people who say it's wattpad logic, yes. that is part of it but also i was working off if this quote from the first book "Harry picked the shining, silvery cloth off the floor. It was strange to the touch, like water woven into material." and i figured you can feel someone's skin and clothes perfectly through water, especially since the cloak is stretch tight against him. the other thing is stereo typical gay/mean Hufflepuff thoughts that Harry has. those are not my views as the author i was just trying to write a realistic Harry who isn't perfect and definitely has some Hufflepuff feelings as expressed in the books. ok that's all i'm sure 99% of you don't care about this at all but the 1% that won't stop commenting these two things, here's my explanation. not that they bothered me but I just figured i'd save you the time of wondering about it.

Harry had no idea what compelled him to touch Draco. Maybe it was the way the blonde had hopefully pawed the air trying to find him, or the soft looking lips that had trembled slightly in fear as Draco backed away.

Either way, Harry was now reaching out to see if those lips were as soft as they looked. As his index finger made contact with the pale pink lips, he found they were extremely soft.

Draco stood still, seeming transfixed and Harry traced a little pattern across his bottom lip. He could feel his hand shaking slightly and wished it wouldn't.

It took Harry less then a minute to come to his senses and pull his hand away from the other boy. What was he doing? Draco hadn't consented to this and didn't even know who was touching him. Harry felt like such a creep, using his invisibly to take advantage of some boy.

He was pulled out of these thoughts when he heard Draco whimper softly and lean forward, as if not wanting this sudden separation. Then Draco slapped his hand over his mouth in shock and turned, disappearing down the stairs.

Harry watched this sudden disappearance sadly. He wanted more time with Draco. He wanted hang out with Draco without having to be invisible. He wanted Draco to want to hang out with him. Basically, Harry wanted things he knew were never going to happen.

Harry took out his map to make sure Draco got to his dorm okay, but quickly noticed that he wasn't on the map at all. He searched it closely until he saw Draco pop up in his dormitory.

Hmmmm, Harry thought, there must be some passage that the Marauders hadn't found. Which made sense since they were all in Gryffindor and this passageway apparently led straight into the Slytherin common room.

That explained how Draco was coming up here so often and not getting caught by anyone. Maybe this was also where he was hanging out when he disappeared off the map completely for hours. Harry thought about that as he made his way back to his dorm.

Harry actually got some sleep after that, but dreamed of Draco running away from him and Harry trying desperately to stop him, knowing that danger lay ahead and they had to turn and run the other way.

His restless sleep left him feeling almost more tired then the nights he got no sleep. His dream seemed to have physically exhausted him.

Harry went to classes like usual and sat with his friends like usual, but internally, he was a swirling mass of confusion. His thoughts flew between Draco, Seamus and Dean, his dream and his new wants.

In his dream, was the danger the were heading for Voldemort and the way to safety being with Draco? Or was the danger continuing on this path with Draco and safety staying away from him? Or was it just a stupid meaningless dream?
