Monday
They share double Potions. Snape breathes down Harry’s neck in a way that is decidedly not pleasant and Malfoy tries to grope him under their work bench. It pisses Harry off because he squirms and tries to swat that bloody hand away as it nears his thigh, and Snape takes ten points from Gryffindor, claiming he’s disturbing the class. Malfoy smirks, but he doesn’t remove his hand on Harry’s thigh.
Tuesday
Harry has Quidditch practice. After practice, in the Quidditch showers, Malfoy with his arms crossed and a sneer on his face tries to rile him up by calling him names. Harry ignores him through out the taunting and Malfoy leans against the wall with a scowl, fidgeting, restless. They spend the night arguing about who’s going to win the next match, and they don’t agree- they never do. It has always been this way.
Wednesday
Malfoy has Quidditch practice. Using the excuse of spying on the opponent, Harry makes his way to the pitch and watches as Malfoy circles the pitch. His eyes narrow when he spots Harry, but he doesn’t sound the alarm and have his team chase Harry off. Harry thinks Malfoy is elegance on a broomstick and he thinks he may be the only person Malfoy can’t beat because all be damned, Malfoy had talent.
Thursday
It’s all angry and violent as they meet in the dungeons. Malfoy cusses at Harry when Harry tears the buttons off his new shirt. Harry calls him a girl and Malfoy launches across at Harry, slamming him to the wall and pushes his body flush against Harry so Harry could tell he was decidedly not a girl. It’s dead silent, save for their harsh breathing and the sound of fabric scratching against the stone wall of the room.
Friday
They have single period Potions together. Snape makes them partner again because he wants to torture Harry. Malfoy brews quietly next to Harry and the air gets strangely stifling when Harry realises that Malfoy isn’t trying to annoy him. His fingers shake when he drops the leaves into their potion. Malfoy meets his eyes and Harry screws up by adding far more then he intended. There’s an explosion.
Saturday
They end up spending the whole day in the hospital wing from the burns. They both have angry burns on their arms. They both pray they will recover in time for the match tomorrow. When Madam Pomfrey leaves for dinner, Malfoy crawls into Harry’s bed and Harry doesn’t protest. They compare their burns until Madam Pomfrey returns. Malfoy’s burns are far more serious and Harry hopes he can still play.
Sunday
It turns out they get to play after all. When Harry gets the snitch, Malfoy glares at him angrily. Harry makes his excuses to his friends and allows Malfoy to drag him under the Ravenclaw bleachers. Malfoy’s mouth closes over the skin of his neck and Harry feels Malfoy’s anger when he bites down, hard enough to draw blood. Harry thinks maybe this is Malfoy’s own way of leaving his mark on Harry.
Mine.
