Harry ambled down the steps wearing nothing but a faded pair of flannel trousers and threw himself on onto one of the couches in the eighth year common room.
âHarry thatâs-â Hermione started. However, before she could finish, Harry rested his head on Dracoâs lap. Now, Harry would be the first to admit that if his hair was bad, itâs MUCH worse after quidditch practice. It stuck up like porcupine quills, and reeked of what could be compared with rancid eggs.
The common room held its breath, but Draco made no move to push Harry off, opting instead to read his book. âEr- Harry,â Ron started, âMate, you do know youâre sitting on Malfoy, right?â
âHe knows.â Draco said, not taking his eyes of the book, âHe also apparently prides himself in having the messiest hair in Hogwarts. Tell me, Potter, when was the last time you washed it? Iâm going to have to throw out these trousers.â
Everyone had assumed Harry to be sleeping, however, the boy wasted no time in responding by saying, âAnything to get you out of them, Malfoy.â
Theodore Nottâs eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, waiting to see how Draco would respond. âLook whoâs the poof now,â The blonde snapped. The rest of the common room exchanged confused glances.
âHarry, when exactly did you and Draco-â Harry, once again, interrupted Hermione before she could finish.
âSays the one whoâs hard just from my head being on his lap.â
Draco rolled his eyes, âArrogant. Going to prance around the castle like a deer after this, are you?â
Harry gave a cheeky grin, âOnly if youâll be my doe.â Ron snorted loudly, knocking Hermioneâs book out of her hands.
âThat was terrible!â He chortled.
Hermione shot Ron a withering glare, but simply picked up her book. Draco, seeming to have recovered from the shock, shoved Harry off the couch. The boy landed with a âUufmpâ and groaned. âGet your nasty quidditch hair off me,â Draco snarked.
Harry rolled to his feet, âFine, but you owe me.â
Harry grinned, and leaned close to his ear, âMaybe for last night? I do remember you being quite grateful.â He breathed.
Draco flushed a bright scarlet, âHarry James Potter!â Harry laughed and raced up the steps to his dorm room. âStupid Potter, with his stupid quidditch hair.â The slytherin mumbled, though he voice held a tone of fondness the rest were sure theyâd never quite heard from Draco Malfoy before.
