Underneath The Tree

Compartment with Malfoy

Harry was walking to platform nine and three quarters with Ron, Mrs Weasley, Fred, George and Ginny who was his girlfriend. There were a bunch of muggles everywhere and like every year Mrs Weasley was complaining about them. "Ok, go on Fred," Mrs Weasley said, she kissed Fred on the forehead and then he ran through the wall. "Ok, ok hurry up George we don't have all day!" She kissed George on the forehead as she did to Fred then he went through the wall. "Ginny, dear come on." Ginny didn't want a kiss for Molly so she just waved bye and ran through the wall. Ron and Harry got the idea that they needed to go, so they said their goodbyes to Molly and ran through the wall.

Harry noticed so many familiar faces like Pansy Parkinson, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood and Draco Malfoy. Ugh Draco Malfoy, he hasn't changed a bit, besides that he didn't gel his hair. 'Merlin, Draco doesn't look that bad' Harry looked at him a bit more. 'I mean his hair looks so much better' 'Wait! What am I saying!? I have a girlfriend!' Harry shook his head and turned to Ron who was talking to Ginny.

"Oi, mate we should see if we could find 'Mione." Ron was turning his head left and right trying to spot Hermione.

"Yeah, we should. She's not that hard to spot." Ron and Harry started laughing as they saw a brown-haired girl with busy hair walking their way.

"Hello, guys! What are you two pricks laughing about?" Harry and Ron looked at each other absent-minded. They both smiling sheepishly.

"'Mione you're so easy to spot," Ron said trying not to laugh his arse off.

"Why thank you, Ron. I take that as a compliment." Hermione started laughing, same as Harry, Ron and Ginny.

"We should head to the train," Hermione said as she grabbed her stuff and started walking to the train. Ron and Harry ran after her.

They gave their trunks to the staff and walked onto the train only to see there are no compartments left. "Shit!" Harry, Ron and Hermione both looked at each other than the only compartment that wasn't full...It had Malfoy in it.

"I'll ask," Harry said as a gulped. "No Harry you can't! He hates your guts!" Harry looked down to his feet. He never actually hated Draco just he was a jerk to him and his friends, honestly if Draco wasn't rude to him when they first met he probably would've been his friend. Harry got the nerves and opened the compartment door.

Draco looked at him and sighed. "Potter? What could you possibly want." Harry was getting a little bit scared. "Well, Malfoy. I was here to ask if you would be so kind as to let my friends and I sit with you?" Draco looked at the and slightly smirked. "Well, why would I do that? I mean I quite like it here alone." Draco laughed a bit when Harry just walked in and sat down Hermione, Ron and Ginny following him. "Stop being such an arse Malfoy. Can't you be kind to us for at least 3 hours? You don't need to talk to us or even pretend we're here just carry on doing your own thing." Harry bit. Draco didn't do anything besides look away out the window.

Harry started talking with Ginny, flirting and y' know the couple things. Draco just sat there listening to it all, he hated it absolutely HATED it. Potter deserved someone better not some slutty Weaselbee or his pathetic friends. He needed someone to love him and friends that didn't get him into trouble. Who would save the world is the Chosen One ended up dead by his troublesome friends.

The train ride went slow, slower than every other year in Harry's opinion, maybe because he felt uncomfortable. But he didn't know why? Maybe it was because Draco was there or maybe..? Harry moved close to Ginny and gave her a hug, it didn't feel the same it felt different. 'How can I be uncomfortable around Ginny!? She's my girlfriend?' Harry kept on repeating that in his head as he looked out the window.

Harry looked over at Draco and noticed his hair was almost like his skin color, pale and really beautiful. His eyes looked like death itself, they were a really pretty shade of grey that just made him more attractive in Harry's opinion.

Draco started to feel uncomfortable. He looked at Harry who had just turned his head away from him. He was really close to Weaselbee, too close in Draco's opinion. But of course, nobody ever cares about Draco's opinion, because in everyone's mind Draco is the "bad guy" the guy who "hates" Potter. Draco never hated Potter, actually, he was quite head over heels for him and he had been since day one. Always talking about him to his father, keeping a little box of new articles he'd been in. Draco didn't know how to express his feelings towards him because he thought it was hate. "Hate and love are so very close to each other, only a thin line could break it." Draco's mom once said to him. Draco mom was caring but always busy covering up his father's shit that he'd been doing for the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord kept on talking about how Draco was almost of age even though he was only 13. The Dark Lord was ecstatic about Draco being a Death Eater and this causes Draco to have nightmares.

Harry wanted to tell someone how he felt about Ginny so he decided to tell Hermione. Harry knew he could trust her, she is his best friend after all. "'Mione, can I talk to you in private?" Hermione looked up from her book frowning and leaving a bookmark in it before she got up and walked outside the compartment. Harry got the idea and got up to walking out the compartment.

"Yes, Harry?" Harry gulped. How did he know she wouldn't lash out on him? He knew her well but did he know her well enough? "W-Well Hermione...I uhhh. I don't feel comfortable around Ginny. Like being in a romantic relationship." Hermione looked him in the eyes and frowned in confusion. "And what am I to do about it?" Harry shot his head up giving eye contact with Hermione. "Give me advice?" Hermione sighed, she was clearly annoyed. "Break up with her you oblivious git." This made Harry laugh since she said it in a joking way. "I-I think I will. Tonight in the common room I'll tell her I don't want to be with her." Hermione hugged him and they walked back into the compartment. Little did Harry know Draco heared everything
