Harry laid in bed thanking Merlin that he was going to be going back to Hogwarts very soon. He was going to be spending his last week at the Weasleys home, 'The Burrow'.  Of course he wasn't going to be just going there, the Dursleys would never let him.  Harry and Ron had already made a plan for Ron to come pick him up in their flying car through Harry's bedroom window, just like in their second year.  

Harry thought back to all the amazing memories in the past five years, when suddenly his thoughts gathered towards Draco Malfoy. 'Why's that stupid git always so rude to me,' he thought. 'I did nothing to him.' the thought suddenly bothered him and this uncomfortable space grew around him. He moved to his other side and flipped his pillow to the colder side. 'I need to figure out why that stupid git hates me so much,' he thought rubbing his eyes. 'I HAVE to figure out why,' he flipped onto his back and sighed, throwing the back of his hand on his head, curling his fingers slightly. "Maybe...there's a way I could fix this uncomfortable presence between us."

The next night came and Harry had been picked up by Ron, Fred, and George just barely making it out. 

"HE'S ESCAPING!" Vernom Dursley yelled trying to grab hold of harry, but only managed to fall out the window. 

 "They treat me like an animal," Harry had said to Ron making him laugh, once they had escaped from the house.

After eating Dinner, Harry and Ron went upstairs to hang out in Ron's room. They were playing a a trading card game which had distracted Harry for a while but his thoughts eventually traveled once again to Malfoy. Maybe...Ron might have an idea of why Draco hates Harry.

"Hey Ron?" Harry said not looking up from his cards. 

 "What is it mate?" Ron said. 

 "Do you...do you know why Malfoy hates me so much?" Ron was surprised by this question and looked up from his cards wide-eyed. Harry however, acted like he didn't notice. 

 "Honestly, I always kind of thought he was jealous of you...because of the whole 'chosen one' thing." Ron gave Harry a pitiful look as if Harry was looking at him. Harry let out a hard exhale in frustration, combing his hand through his hair. 

 "You alright mate?" Ron asked with concern in his voice. 

 "Yeah," Harry answered finally looking up. "Can we just go to bed? I'm getting tired." 

 "Oh um...you sure?" 

 "Yeah," Harry already started standing up from the wooden chair he had been sitting in. 

 "O-oh..oh ok," Ron looked at him confused for a few seconds before getting up. 'he looked so sad,' Ron thought. 'Did Draco maybe do something to him?'

Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, and Harry got out of the train late due to Neville once again loosing his pet frog Trevor.  Because of this, when they got out, there were only two carriages left.  All five teenagers went to the same carriage but when they got there, there was only room for two more people.  Since Neville and Luna were dating, they went in together. Harry looked in to see Katie Bella, Seamus Finnigan, and Dean Thoamas  on one side looking very uncomfortable.  And of course on the other side was Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, and...Blaise Zabini.  Who all were...also very unhappy. Obviously none of them wanted to be stuck in a carriage with people they can barely remember the names of.

Hermione Granger, Ron, and Harry all hurried over to the last carriage and were very disappointed to see who was inside.  Pansy Parkinson who was closest to the other side, Draco Malfoy who sat in the middle, and Vincent Crabbe closest to the door, all on the right side of the carriage.  Pansy and Crabbe glared at them.

"Buzz off!" Pansy snarled.                                                                                                                                                  "This is the last carriage!" Harry snapped.  Pansy Just rolled her eyes and looked out the window, it was then did Harry even notice Draco hadn't looked up once.  He just sat there, eyes glued to his feet, looking...depressed.                                                                                                                         "Well are you getting in?" Pansy said in the same tone as before.  Harry had just realized that he was staring at Draco and blushed lightly just glaring at Pansy who was still looking out the window.  After a few seconds, Hermione pushed Harry out the way in a sassy tone and sat across from Pansy, looking dreamily at her.  Harry and Ron both tried to rush in at the same time after Hermione, almost bumping their heads together.  Ron ended up in the middle next to Hermione, and Harry sat across Crabbe.    

"Do you have a problem Potter?" Pansy said tilting her head slightly and crossing her arms.  Harry looked up blushing, he hadn't even noticed that he was staring at Malfoy. "What are you in love with him now?" Pansy continued after not getting a reply.  Draco looked up when he heard the words, without Harry's notice.                                                                                                  

"NO!" Harry quickly answered clinching his fists, his robes sleeves curled up in his fingers.  He looked over at Draco and when he saw him looking at him he blushed an even darker shade of pink.  At the sight of Draco's sad looking face, his own face relaxed and he clenched his fists, pushing his lips tighter together in a thin line.  Pansy noticed Harry's blush and started to chuckle lightly to herself but Harry ignored her, keeping eye contact with Draco.  Draco's white hair was messy, small pieces at the top of his head pointing to the roof of the carriage.  He held  the curve at the top of his right ear in his index finger and thumb, his elbow resting on the back of the seat, causing his head to tilt towards Pansy slightly.  His lips were slighted partly, barely noticeable.  He was the only one who wasn't wearing his robe, he had it lying in his lap with his left fist clenching it tightly.  He looked like he was sweating but it was eight at night and freezing.  His knees were also pressed gently together both legs going in opposite directions.  Draco's eyes were soft but shining at Harry like he was trying to tell him something.  They looked sad, slightly red and he looked like he needed someone to hug him.  And at that moment, Harry wanted to be the one to hug him.  His position looked uncomfortable but...he seemed to be comfortable. 

"Are you guys going to keep eye fucking or what?" Pansy said making Crabbe laugh.  Harry and Draco both looked at her, Draco blushing slightly while Harry looked like hot sauce was going to come exploding out of his ears.  Harry looked back at Draco and saw that he already had his eyes stuck to his shoes once again, an empty look on his face, this time, both fist clenching his robes.

It was the longest carriage ride Harry Potter had ever been on.

Harry paid no attention to whatever Ron and Hermione were saying in the great haul at dinner.  He didn't have a appetite. He kept thinking about How sad Malfoy looked.  He felt great pity towards him which was never a normal thing.  It's Draco Malfoy for Merlin's sake!  However, for some odd reason, that thought didn't faze him.  He wanted Malfoy to feel better.  Even if only bullying Harry will make him feel better then so be it.  If Draco's happy, then Harry's happy. Harry couldn't stop himself from contemplating all this.  Did Draco notice him blushing?  Oh Merlin, please say no. He barely snapped back to reality when he heard Hermione, Ron, and Ginny Weasley all trying to get his attention.

Harry slightly lifted his cheek off his hand looking at them.

"You alright mate? You haven't touched your food," Ron said holding a chicken leg in his hand, grease on his cheek.  Harry ignored them all and looked over at Malfoy, closing the small space between his cheek and hand once again. 'Looks like Malfoy doesn't have much of an appetite either,' Harry thought, eventually dozing off again. Having the last thing he heard around him be Ron saying something like, 'he's been acting like this for a while', and also adding something about Malfoy.

Draco lay awake in bed thinking once again, while the other Slytherin's were asleep.  What was that on the carriage ride here?  Why had Harry been staring at him...in the way he was?  Was he stoned or drunk?  How much had Harry looked at him without Draco's notice?  He barely noticed even noticed the trio even enter the carriage.  He had blocked out all sound except for his own breathing.  Harry looked at him with such pity...had he let his guard down in front of Harry? This is bad, Harry would definitely use this against him in the future. 

A/N: If you got through this whole chapter then thank you and I love you.  I didn't mean for this chapter to be this long but I guess it makes up for the other two.  I indeed did use the same scene of Harry escaping to the Burrow as it is in the book and movie only I changed it up a little and added a line.
