“You did what!?!?!” Harry sighed once again, “I made a truce with Draco.” Draco heard his name and turned to see Harry mouth the word sorry to him, “What’s the problem, Harry?” The look on Ron’s face was priceless.
“What did you just call him,” Ron yelled to Draco. Draco made a face of pure innocence, “Why, what ever do you mean. I called my friend by his name?” Harry struggled to contain his laughter as Ron grew red in the face and Hermione chuckled.
“Why, Ron, I believe that Draco and Harry are friends now,” Hermione sighed in fake exasperation. With this, Draco and Harry got up and left the great hall together, leaving Ron flabbergasted.
“I believe that we broke your friend.” Harry laughed, “He’ll get over it eventually, it is pretty shocking.” When Draco didn’t respond, Harry looked over at him. Draco seemed troubled.
“What’s wrong, Draco?” Draco started and, realizing that Harry was looking at him, wiped his face of negative emotions and put a strained smile on his face, “Nothing, you are right.”
“About what?” “ About it being surprising that you forgave me,” Draco replied calmly. Harry realized what was bothering his new friend, he thought that Harry didn’t forgive him
“Oh, Draco, I forgive you for everything, you know that right?” Draco’s eyes got misty and his voice steely, “But how can you, I did nothing but torture you and your friends for 7 years straight.” “Because I know you now, and I know that you didn’t want to and that you were probably forced to.” This statement broke Draco down, tears started slipping out of his eyes.
“Let’s go to the Room of Requirement.” Draco didn’t know what that was but nodded regardless and let Harry gently guide him with a hand on his back. The room was comfortable with a green and a red chair and a couch between them. Harry led them to the couch, at this point Draco was barely containing his sobs. Harry sat them down and wrapped his arms around the smaller boy and whispered comforting words into Draco’s ear in an attempt to soothe the other boy. It didn’t take long for Draco to completely break down and sob into Harry’s chest.
About ten minutes latter, Draco sat up and wiped his face, looking anywhere but at Harry. “Sorry about that.” Harry smiled softly, “It’s okay do you want to talk about it?” Draco’s head whipped over to face Harry, still red, and responded, “There is nothing to talk about.” Harry looked dejected but nodded his head, “If you don’t want to talk about it we don’t have to, but you always can talk to me.”
Draco nodded absentmindedly, the seemed to realized that he had never seen this room before, “Where are we?” Harry brightened, Merlin this boy showed his heart on his sleeve, “This is the Room of Requirement, or the ROR.”
“Well, the founder of Hufflepuff house, created this room to change into whatever you need it to be.” Seemed like a Hufflepuff thing to do, Draco nodded absently again. “So, do you like it?” “What,” Draco snapped back into reality. “Do you like it?” “The.. room..?” Harry nodded. “Um, sure? I should probably go, Pansy will be wondering where I am.” Harry seemed upset that their moment together was ruined but Draco didn’t notice.
“Okay, well do you want me to walk you back?” “No, thanks. I’m sure I remember where the Slytherian common room is.” Harry chuckled but still walked with Draco the whole way there, they didn’t talk throughout the walk but Harry kept looking over at Draco, concerned. When they reached the wall, they turned to each other and Harry hugged Draco. Draco was shocked but still lightly hugged him back, his shock turned into confusion when Harry kissed him on the cheek. Harry looked every bit shocked and confused as Draco felt, he also was burning an angry shade of red and turned sharply, walking away, and called over his shoulder a stiff goodnight.
