Au= 3rd year Snape's DADA class (yknow the 'tUrN tO pAgE 394'), Draco send Harry a secret letter by paper cranes rather than the drawing itself.
Top!Draco, Bot!Harry (again i'm a top harry supremacist but I wrote top!Draco to gain readers yknow), forehead kiss, fluff, slight foul language, hermione being the biggest drarry shipper, ron being confused with drarry, the slytherins giving zero fucks draco is dating harry.
"Do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all, Ms. Granger?" Snape glared at her. Black eyes looking at her with utter disgust and judging her acts. Harry wanted to speak up but Hermione seems to be giving him a signal or somesort with her fingers, telling him to shut up.
"You ask us a question and she answered it, why ask a question if you don't want her to answer it." Ron stood up as he glared at Snape. Black eyes adjusting before Snape sighs and turn back to the screen projector.
"Detention Mr. Weasley, perhaps if you want to stood up for your know-it-all girlfriend do it at the other Professor's class and definitely not mine, and note that 20 points from Gryffindor," said Snape as he wrote some of the importants notes in the blackboard, "5 for Ms. Granger lack of control of her tongue, 10 for Weasley's inability to mind his own business, another 5 for Weasley's rude gesture on standing up for his precious insufferable girlfriend." He glared at the whole Gryffindor before continuing the lesson.
Ron raise his middle finger as Snape focuses on the blackboard.
"Psst!" A soft voice quickly reach Harry's ear.
"..."
"Potter! Pssst!" The voice said again as both Harry and Hermione continue to ignore the annoying aristocratic voice.
"Oi!" A paper was thrown at Hermione's face as she quickly glared all the way to Malfoy's table with Crabbe.
"What?" Hermione whisper-shouted, already in horrific mood due to Snape and now Malfoy have to put up an act. Damned Slytherins are being such a pain in the arse.
"Get me to Potter!" Malfoy quickly demanded, glaring at Hermione, and point his fingers at Harry.
"Harry, Malfoy wants to talk to you." Hermione whispered at Harry, as Harry look up to meet Malfoy's stern gaze at him.
"What, Malfoy?" Harry said already done with the day, despite it was still early in the morning.
Malfoy flew the paper cranes at him with a certain spell as it wings fluttered elegantly all the way to Harry's palm. Malfoy gave him the usual arrogant smirk as he winks at Harry and raised his eyebrows. Harry glared at him before opening the letter at him. Harry saw the messy children scribbles that was supposedly a drawing of the Quidditch match tomorrow.
Harry gave Malfoy his middle finger before stuffing the letter to Hermione.
Without the other students noticing, Malfoy threw Harry a genuine smile at him.
Soon enough the class ended and Harry walked out of the classroom. "Can't you believe that git? Drawing such pictures only to threw it on my face." Harry nagged as they walk back to their common room.
"Who give a fuck about Malfoy?, Snape put me in detention for standing up against him." Ron spoke back as his face was still bothered by the fact he have to spend time in detention with Snape.
"You don't really have to stand up for me, Ron." Hermione said as Ron quickly disagrees.
"I do, Ron. Also, he turns it into a paper cranes and flew it to me." Harry shoved the paper at Ron's hands and Ron quickly examined it.
"He does spend so much effort on bullying you." Ron quickly gave the paper to Hermione. She read it and examined it, deep in thoughts wondering what on earth is he planning on until she remembers something from some books about Origami.
"Don't you know what Paper Cranes means?" Hermione suddenly spoke out.
"Don't know, don't care. I'd rather care more about Sirius Black wanting to kill me than caring about that attention-seeker of a pointy git." Harry said before going back to his room and change his clothes.
"Giving paper cranes to someone in Japan, means that the person is sending good luck to the person given. If they give a thousand paper cranes means giving a chance for the person given to have one special wish come true." Hermione muttered under her breath.
"What did you say?" Ron look at her with confusion. His blue eyes looks at her gently.
"Nothing, Ron." Hermione spoke before running back to her room.
"Weird," he said before finally stepping into the room and see that Harry has changed his clothing.
Hermione grew curious of Malfoy's act, did he act like that to attract Harry's attention. She quickly grab her spell book and went to use a basic revelio charm and nothing appeared. She examined the letter and noticed a gap and gave several taps before muttering the paper revealing charm.
"Good luck, Potter.
I hope you don't die tomorrow.
Careful with the Dementors and Sirius Black.
D. M."
"Aww, that's kind off adorable." Hermione muttered as she choose to keep it for Harry to see
-Next Day
The Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff didn't went well, other than the fact that last time it was a real dementor, this time it's Draco Malfoy and his friends sewing dementor's robes for fun.
Harry sighs as he look up to meet his friends.
"You alright, Harry?" Hermione put her hand on the top of his head.
"Did we win?" Harry croaked out.
"Sadly, no. McGonagall looks pretty sad, but it's Oliver you should pity, he's trying to drown himself in the bathroom he said and I quote 'Holding the shame of losing to Hufflepuff'" George explained.
"Also, you should worry more about your broom, Harry." Fred said motioned on Harry's broom. The condition of his Nimbus 2000 is absolutely mournful as it was destroyed wood by wood.
"Hush, coming through I need to give your usual dose of the potion again." Madam Pomfrey quickly move the rest of the Gryffindor aside. Harry took a sip, disgusted by the taste of potion.
"If you're so disgusted by it, Mr. Potter perharps you should be more careful about taking care of yourself instead of going to the Hospital Wings every week." Madam Pomfrey said at him, gathering all the potion bottle on his bedside table.
The twins said something about Harry having more than one live or something, which make him impossible to be killed and whatsoever. Hearing the continous giggles and laughter. Madam Pomfrey choose to kick the Gryffindors out of the Hospital Wings saying that Harry should have his rest.
Sadly, Harry has to stay the night in the Hospital Wings. All alone, since the poor Ravenclaw who fell from the stairs are allowed to came back later on before evening starts. Harry sighs as he have to spend another lonely night in the Hospital Wings.
Without knowing he closes his eyes and fell asleep.
~ A few drarry moments later.
Harry was awake when he felt a shadow taking a seat next to his bed. He felt cold hands creeping seems like a piece of paper put into his hands and finger locked with his.
Suddenly a pair of lips is on his forehead, kissing it. The lips move up again and this time at the top of his head. The other hands reach for his dark locks and pat it lightly. Inhaling Harry's scent.
Harry opened his eyes and see a blur of people with one of the palest blond he could have ever seen. He knew the owner of the shadow. It was Malfoy. Definitely without doubt.
"You're awake?" Said Malfoy.
"Yes, what the hell did you do?" He sit up, eyes unable to see clearly. His glasses is in Malfoy's hands as he carefully tried to put the glasses on his face.
Harry looked at Malfoy's face to see what his plan. "What the hell did you gave me?" He snapped, eyes quickly went to the letter in his hands. He looked at the piece of paper, it was slighly battered everywhere. Clearly, Malfoy tried to change it into something like last time.
"Potter,
I'm sorry? I guess. That was NOT suppose to happen. I only wanted to scared you and a bit of a shock for you with the dementor. I definitely didn't think that you would freak out and fell off your broom.
831-no 182
-D.M."
The 831 was scratched but still pretty much readable even with his bad eyesight.
"What's this rubbish for?" He said threwing the piece of paper at Malfoy.
"I told you, I did not expect your overdramatic arse to actually fell off from your broom. I only meant to scare you a bit." Draco catch the piece of paper easily.
"Hey, you suddenly came out of nowhere. It's not my fault I lost grip on my broom." Harry tried to defend himself.
"That's the point of Dementor's existence, Potter. Do keep up." Said Draco, implying that Dementor's job is to suck souls out of everyone suddenly.
"What are you doing here anyway, shouldn't you be celebrating?" Harry question. Eyeing him with such intensity.
"Well, I thought I should apologize for my act that have brought you grave danger." He said, grey eyes adoringly stare at Harry's bright green eyes. (Imagine saying orbs couldn't be me.)
"Well, that's very out of character of your usual always a 'Ice Prince of Slytherin of a git' you know?" Harry said, rubbing his head.
"Well, yes. But even after all that I still have a heart. But, sadly it was stolen." Draco emphasized the bent part at Harry.
"That's too chessy. If you're going to flirt with girls with that you're not getting anyone." Harry chuckled.
"Who said I want girls? I'm not flirting with them too needy and too horny. Most girls are just visual chasers with parental issues that needs to go St. Mungos." Draco replied, his hands lingered with Harry's.
"You don't like girls?"
"Yes. They irritate me for no reason." Draco said rubbing Harry's fingers.
"That's not exactly a reason you know," said Harry, looking out the windows.
"Fine. Not only they irriate me, I also have a crush on a boy and I'm deeply in love with him." Said Draco his usual pale cheeks grew pink.
"Well, what would you do if they love you back?" Harry questioned at Draco, don't get the wrong idea. Harry's not Homophobic, but he did live in a house full of homophobic, transphobic, racist, and ableist people. He's just a hopeless romantic who hope to find love, it's his third year and he still haven't found anyone he's attracted to. Unless you want to count Bill, Charlie, Oliver, and Cedric. Not to mention, young Tom Riddle, it's illegal but he was rather good looking.
"I don't exactly know. They wouldn't like me back either." Said Draco.
"Aren't you scared the prefect might catch you?" Harry suddenly questioned remembering Percy is now headboy and the prefects rules must have been more strict.
"Right, I should go." Said Draco. He stood up and gave a kiss at Harry's hand. He look down to meet Harry's eyes and lean down to kiss Harry's forehead.
Draco let Harry leaned back on his bed,and wrap him in his blanket. After making sure Harry's all set, he gave another kiss at Harry's forehead.
"You're mine now." Said Draco, he muttered an 'I love you' before walking out of the door.
Harry blushed, touching the position where Malfoy had kissed him.
"They're cute." Said Hermione, Ron's confused at her reaction. She said that Harry is in danger and Harry might get another hex from Malfoy. But, Malfoy just give Harry a kiss in his forehead, which he enjoyed by his now flustered face.
The slytherins behind them were arguing on the other hand. Talking about how Malfoy said he wanted to hex Potter and not kissing his forehead like some silly muggle dad at his sick son in television. Deep down Hermione wondered where Crabbe and Goyle found out about muggle stuff.
The arguments grew as Hermione have enough of them.
"Shut up, they are having a moment." Hermione snapped at Crabbe and Goyle, the two shut their mouth and quickly chase after Draco who went out of the door.
"Did the mudblood told us to shut up?"
"She just did."
"Well, you better shut it or else I'll shut it for you." Ron glared at the two.
In the morning, news spread quickly about Potter and Malfoy suspectedly dating each other. No one knew exactly who spreads it, but almost everyone look back on Harry just as they did at him in second year. All because he was dating a slytherin, many of the students choose to protect him. The honor of protecting their Prince's lover.
Hermione smiled as Harry walk to the Gryffindor table with a female slytherin prefect by his side. "See you later, Potter." The girl quickly said as she walk back to the Slytherin table.
"Why is a slytherin accompanying you? You know you could as us for help." Ron said as he sit next to Harry.
A paper crane flew towards Harry as a howler is exactly behind him.
The paper crane flutter open as the messages were revealed.
"Potter,
The cause of dating me isn't exactly terrible, eh? Slytherins following you everywhere. Now, I'm not as bitter as I am in the past. Your rejection in the past hurt. But, since now you are my lover. My soulmate. I will have every Slytherin house member—including Severus (tried hard enough to persuade him to atleast be normal towards you) to treat you nicely.
If anyone ever dare harm you in anyway wether it was physical or verbal I would not hesitate to hex them.
Sincerely, Malfoy
P.s: I can finally say 831 to you"
As the paper crane close itself the Howler shook before opening.
"IF ANY OF YOU HAD THE AUDACITY OF HARMING HARRY POTTER I WILL NOT HESITATE TO HARM YOU IN THE WORST OF WAY. STAY AWAY AND KEEP YOUR DISTANCES WITH HIM. THAT INCLUDES YOU WEASLEYS." The howler boomed before ripping itself.
"What did I ever do?" Ron said.
"That's so rude. We're only friends with Harry." Ginny replied back.
"How dare he, Harry is like—" Fred began
"Our own brother we love more—" George smiled as he ruffles Ron's head.
"Than Ron." Said the twins at the same time.
"That's truly unacceptable. He's giving threat towards a Headboy."
"Percy, calm down it's no big deal." Said Harry.
"Yes, it is. I'm not losing you to gingers." Draco suddenly said as he stands behind Harry.
"You're not losing me to anyone." Harry said.
"Did you like my gift?" Said Draco, giving Harry another paper crane.
"Another one?"
"I'm going to give you paper cranes each and everyday." Draco said.
"You're going to give him a thousand paper crane?" Hermione questioned.
"A million if I must." He said as he give Harry another kiss in the forehead.
Suddenly a black dog appeared and ran towards Draco and jump on him. Scratching his expensive clothing.
"Ugh, this filthy dog is killing me. I have been traumatized by that chicken and now this." Draco complained as the dog continue to scratch him.
"It's the Grimm, Run Potter for your life sake." Professor Trewlaney shouts at him. While the dog barks.
Snape look impressed by the dog. Dumbledore looks exceptionally ordinary. McGonagall looks worried at her student. While, Remus looks a bit shocked but also fairly normal as if he knew the dog would most likely appear and attack the blond boy.
