Secrets revealed
Chapter One
“Take 'er away, Ern!”
The Knight Bus was on it’s way towards the Leaky Cauldron. Only two passengers where on board: one being the famous Harry Potter, the other being no-one less then Draco Malfoy.
Harry did not enjoy his stay in the Knight Bus, but he had no other place to go. The Weasleys had turned his back on him … well just Ron but Harry had refused to stay there any longer. So here he was on the Knight Bus on his way to the Leaky cauldron to spend the rest of the week before school started again there.
The beds where shaking heavily and Harry could hear a faint mumbling through his curtains, it sounded as if it came from the bed next to his.
“Stupid bus …. If my father…. Sue …. Azkaban….”
Hearing those words Harry almost paled in fear. Those words and that voice could only belong to one person … DRACO MALFOY!
Harry tried to stay as quiet as possible trying to here if the boy next to him had anything more to say. Until the impossible happened: the Knight Bus got stuck in a traffic jam near LondonThey had run right into the rush hour of traffic. Muggles going home from work and some kind of truck road was blocking the.
After a while Harry heard Draco again.
“What do you mean magic wont help?! I need to get out of this wreck!” He yelled at the driver.
Harry heard the shrieks of his arch enemy and couldn’t help but giggle.
“What’s so funny?”
The curtains where pushed away roughly and there he was: Malfoy. But it wasn’t the same Draco he was used to, not the Draco that strut around Hogwarts thinking he was the most important person in the world. His appearance changed, but his attitude, on the other hand, seemed the same. Though the appearance was the thing that Harry saw, he now had long shoulder length hair, an earring in one ear…. and those remarkable grey eyes, they seemed to shine a faint glow of silver
‘Have they always been like that?’ Harry asked himself.
“What are you staring at Potter?” Malfoy sneered, “You’re the hero here can’t you do anything?”
Harry just snorted in response and lay back down on the bed.
“No, there’s nothing I can do,” he stated simply, he was tired of people always wanting him to save the day: he wasn’t a hero and he definitely didn’t want to be one.
“Great, now we’re both stuck in this bloody bus!”
The blonde continued raging for a good half an hour, until he finally looked up and noticed a sleeping Harry Potter lying in his bed. His green eyes were no longer hypnotizing him and those perfect lips slightly parted in his sleep.
It’s no secret… well not to us anyway, that Draco had a crush on Harry. The mean behaviour was only meant to hide his real feelings. He had wanted the boy to like him since there first year, but that feeling had soon turned into love and by now, in there sixth year, Draco had already fallen in love with the wizard world’s saviour.
Harry on the other hand wasn’t sleeping anymore he woke up after a rather harsh memory of what happened the night before at the burrow. But he didn’t dare to open his eyes, not yet. Only last night Harry had decided to come out of the closet toward his best friend, Ronald Weasley, who didn’t quite take it the right way.
They ended up in a fight, yelling. Words like ‘fag, sick, and unnatural’ where thrown at Harry’s head more then a few times.
He still felt tears burn in his eyes when he thought about it. He had spend the time waiting for the bus crying his eyes out almost passing out from the sadness he felt.
His eyelids were closed but nevertheless the tears rolled down his cheeks silently. This little fact didn’t go unnoticed by Draco. A smart remark burnt on his tongue, but his feelings prevented him for once from saying it out loud.
He only bit his lip, wondering what to do what to say how to react; he had never seen the boy cry.
“Hey Potter what happened to Measley?” He used a wordplay he had picked up from some of the younger Slytherins in there fifth year. He didn’t know what happened but the fact that Harry was in the wizarding world without the golden threesome was a bit odd to him.
“Shut up, Malfoy” came the murmured reply.
“Geez sorry, just wanted a conversation.” He said, rather annoyed at the fact he had tried to be friendly and again got turned down by Potter. He lay down on his own bed staring at the ceiling, loosening the cuffs of his shirt.
“Well for all I know he’s at the burrow,” Harry sat up, sadness covered with anger “And no I don’t want to talk about it.” Just at that point the Knight Bus started to make speed again making Harry fly against the window.
Draco had a frown on his face, ‘I wonder what happened…’
So why is Draco on the knightbus in the first place ?
Will he ever reveal his feelings to anyone?
And what will Ron do when he sees Harry again at Hogwarts?
To be continued in the second chapter.
