August 1st 1991- Harry and Draco meet for the first time

"Holy mother of Merlin, I look ridiculous!" Draco laughed. "I think you look cute." Harry smiled. "Malfoy's aren't cute." Draco scoffed. "Malfoys are made of kittens." 

September 1st 1991- Harry rejects Draco's offer of friendship

"I'm sorry again Dray. But I swear, I never would've been able to let go." Draco shrugged. "Is that a bad thing?" Harry kissed his cheek. "Maybe not."

February 14th 1992- Harry complains to Ron and Hermione that Draco doesn't love him back

"Oh Merlin..." Harry blushed. "Awe, you did this?" Harry looked at the next photo. "I wouldn't tease me if I were you." Draco raised an eyebrow. Then he looked at the next photo.

"Oh. Sorry. I guess I'm guilty of it too." Harry laughed. "It's ok."

"That wasn't on purpose?" Draco shook his head. "I just played it off as if it was." Harry laughed. "You did a good job."

May 26th 1992- Harry and Draco "bond" in the Forbidden Forest

"We didn't bond. Draco was so obviously scared, it was cute. Then he screamed and ran away." Draco blushed. "I was eleven!" Harry rested his head on Draco's shoulder. "I know love." He whispered. "Hold on, how did you get a photo of this?" Pansy laughed. "I took some of Draco's memories, put them in a Pensieve and took photos, then returned the memories." Draco's eyes widened. "Is that creepy, should I be creeped out?" Pansy shook her head. "Keep looking at the photos and you won't think so anymore."

November 7th 1992- Harry and Draco "play" their first Quidditch match as opposing seekers

"What's with the quotation marks around the word play?" Harry asked. Pansy giggled. "Dray was a little distracted. He spent the whole time teasing you when the snitch was right beside him." Harry chuckled. "Oh yeah. Must've been pretty hot, huh?" Draco scoffed. "Sure. Whatever gets you out of bed in the morning." Harry rolled his eyes. "Ha, ha, very funny." He said sarcastically.

December 17th 1992- Harry and Draco duel "Scared Potter?" "You wish" it's pretty intense

"Hey Pansy, were you planning on giving this to us before you knew we were dating?" Draco asked. "No, we were just going to say 'our presence is your present'." Harry laughed.

February 14th 1993- Harry complains to Ron and Hermione that Draco doesn't love him back

May 8th 1993- Draco on his way to slip the paper about the Basilisk in Hermione Granger's hand

September 1st 1993- Draco checking up on Harry after he fainted

"No, you said 'Potter is it true you fainted? I mean you actually fainted?' That's not checking on me." Draco shook his head. "Blame Theo. After the first question, if you said yes, I was going to ask if you were ok. But then I looked to Theo and saw he was laughing and pretending to faint, so I turned it into a teasing thing." Harry shrugged. "All the same to me." Draco frowned. "Sorry Ry."

September 2nd 1993- Draco obviously flirting with Harry

"Obviously?" Pansy facepalmed. "You're biting your lip for Merlin's sake! Yes obvious. You're checking him out Dray." Draco blushed. "I didn't think it was obvious." Harry chimed in. Blaise chuckled.

September 2nd 1993- Draco insulting a hippogriff to show off in front of Harry

"Who said that's why I did it?" Pansy rolled her eyes. "That is why you did it." Draco contemplated it for a second before agreeing with her. "Fair enough."

September 2nd 1993- Harry looking concerned after Draco is hurt by a hippogriff

"Oh Merlin, you do look concerned." Harry nodded. "Of course I was concerned, you were saying 'it's killed me, it's killed me'. Look at you compared to Hagrid, you're so tiny." Harry teased. "Huh. Did you ever realize that we were both carried by Hagrid?" Harry's eyes widened. "Not until now! That's hilarious."

November 1st 1993- Draco sends Harry an origami bird by blowing a kiss, very subtle Draco

February 14th 1994- Draco complains to Pansy, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle that Harry doesn't love him back

"You could've been more creative with what you wrote if it's the same thing every year." Pansy shrugged.

"I told you I did it too." Harry laughed. "We've got a lot in common." Draco smiled. "Yeah, I guess we do."

November 23rd 1994- Draco climbs a tree to get Harry's attention

"The ferret tree. I did know about this. Draco and I had a picnic there back in September. He told me then." Pansy nodded. "Sure but you don't know how much of a pain he was about it." She laughed. "He kicked me in the face," Blaise complained. Harry laughed and nuzzled into Draco more.

November 23rd 1994- He ends up being turned into a ferret and shoved down Crabbe's pants

"Most traumatic experience of my life." Blaise laughed. "You just wish it was Potter." Draco shrugged. "I don't need to be a ferret to get in his pants." Blaise covered his ears. "That's enough of that." Harry laughed. "You sure you don't need the details?" Blaise glared at the two.

November 24th 1994- Draco fears for Harry's life during the first challenge

October 10th 1995- Draco forces his friends to join the Inquisitorial Squad so he can spy on Harry without seeming creepy

November 19th 1995- Draco staring at Harry because 'it's his job'

Harry sniggered. "If you think about it, this is the equivalent to you saying that I was up to something." Harry shook his head. "So you're perfectly fine with me wearing a shirt that says, 'I'm 'doing my job''?" Draco sighed. "Please don't." Harry shrugged. "We'll see."

December 12th 1995- Draco 'doing his job' and checking Harry out

"Pansy, can I use your fireplace?" Pansy nodded. "Be my guest." Harry firecalled Ron. "Hey mate. You know Draco's shirt that says 'I'm 'up to something''?" Ron nodded. "Can you send in a design; and say it's requested by Harry Potter himself, that says 'I'm 'doing my job''?" Ron shrugged. "Sure mate." Harry smiled. "Great. Thanks." Harry walked back over to the couch and cuddled into Draco again. Draco rolled his eyes. "Payback," Harry whispered in his ear before kissing beside it.

February 14th 1996- Harry complains to Ron and Hermione that Draco doesn't love him back

"And we're back to this again." Harry sighed. Draco pointed at the photo. "Isn't this the year you dated Cho on Valentine's?" Harry rolled his eyes. "Unfortunately, yes. But she thought I liked Hermione." Draco laughed. "Like that would ever happen." Harry frowned. "You don't think I could get Hermione?" Draco shook his head. "Not that, I mean... as if you would ever like someone who isn't me." Harry chuckled. "You bet."

February 14th 1996- Draco complains to Pansy, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle that Harry doesn't love him back

"Don't worry, I didn't." Draco grinned. "Good, I'm glad. I'd like to think it's thanks to me." He gestured towards the photo. "It's thanks to you alright but you didn't do anything to make it that way." Draco blushed.

May 8th 1996- Draco using his prefect powers to go see Harry

"I wish I had the powers of a prefect back in school." Draco chuckled. "But Ron got them instead." He laughed. Harry tickled Draco. "Stop laughing at me." He pouted. Draco kept laughing. "You need to take me seriously." Draco giggled. "I cannot take you seriously right now."

August 3rd 1996- Harry climbs a building to spy on Draco, a bit much Harry, a bit much

"Merlin, that's actually steep. Harry, you've gotta use your head sometimes. I know there are a million and one reasons why you aren't a Ravenclaw, but this was not a smart choice." Harry frowned. "Name one of those reasons then." Draco grinned. "'Hmm, the Chamber of Secrets belonged to Salazar Slytherin. The mascot of Slytherin is a serpent. Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth. I wonder what's in the Chamber of Secrets. A unicorn, perhaps?'" Draco leaned in to kiss Harry but Harry pushed his head away. "Mean boys don't get kisses."

September 1st 1996- Harry spies on Draco on the Hogwarts Express

"I remember this... I broke your nose."

September 1st 1996- Draco breaks Harry's nose, after noticing he was there just by briefly seeing the corner of his shoe

"Like I said. Sorry about that by the way. I was going through a lot and blamed you for me becoming a Death Eater. My opinion changed after I broke your nose. I instantly realized I was being stupid, and felt terrible. But the reason I left you there on the train, was so that you'd go home and be safe. Hogwarts wasn't exactly safe, I knew I needed to let the Death Eaters in. But you somehow got off the train." Draco arms squeezed tightly around Harry. "Luna," He whispered and sighed with content at being so close to Draco.

April 17th 1997- Harry crying to Ron and Hermione because he almost killed Draco

May 7th 2002- Draco and Harry see each other for the first time in four years

June 7th 2002- Draco wakes up to find himself cuddling with Harry
