The hallways were oddly quiet as Draco Malfoy trudged through, barely picking up his feet as he walked. Across the castle Harry Potter still laid in his bed, his eyes shut in a façade of sleep.950Please respect copyright.PENANApohVRwZtgs

He really hadn't slept ever since the search of the horcruxes began and now that the war was over it seemed harder to close his eyes sometimes.950Please respect copyright.PENANAVWsEIwrCtM

It was early morning, some may even still refer to it as night, but Draco felt restless and couldn't stand his room any longer. The silence in there was deafening.950Please respect copyright.PENANAm38L81xrNp

950Please respect copyright.PENANAISTqAgwpb3
Ever since the war the Slytherins were never quite the same to him. Draco didn't just feel outcasted by the other houses but his own seemed to avoid his eyes as well. At first, he must admit, he enjoyed it. It was nice. It was as if people were afraid of him, and fear could become power if used correctly.950Please respect copyright.PENANAWXuBknTjt2
950Please respect copyright.PENANAfQNBOxTZ8j
950Please respect copyright.PENANA0OCZQYMsJF
But, people weren't afraid of him.950Please respect copyright.PENANAyV4qJRHMJH
It turned out people avoided him because they were disgusted.950Please respect copyright.PENANAYLRFc7NC3o

He did understand the debt he owed Harry, but they had let it go.950Please respect copyright.PENANAOESiSC4LyU
A nod and tight lip smile was exchanged and Draco felt like that sufficed. There was no need to push it any further. Harry Potter was, after all, doing what he always did: playing hero. However, fellow classmates didn't see it like that and Draco Malfoy had lost his edge.950Please respect copyright.PENANAdZoZA3sSmF

The hatred he felt from being in his own house combined with the fact that every time he closed his eyes he could still hear the screams from inside Malfoy Manor was why he was now wandering the hallways.950Please respect copyright.PENANA7wmWYPOCWs

His thoughts were still yelling at him, but at least in the halls he didn't have a chance of accidentally falling asleep and releasing himself into a nightmare. There didn't seem to be a happy dream left in him. Each time he closed his eyes he saw him. Though You Know Who was dead, he was very much alive in Draco's mind.950Please respect copyright.PENANAXHw0jkWrKD

Draco had somehow allowed his mind to carry him so far away that he managed to run into a hard mass. All color drained from his face. He had successfully been avoiding any confrontation with anyone. If this was another 8th year who had returned to finish his schooling, then this was sure to be a brawl.950Please respect copyright.PENANAFGR8KC6e09

The only reason Draco hadn't already been pummeled near to death was because by the grace of Merlin he still had Goyle on his side as his guard and because he never put himself in the way of another. But, this.. This was running into someone. This was him being trash for another to step on.950Please respect copyright.PENANADEfXx74PEy

He gulped staring at his feet. He didn't really feel a need to apologize but 'sorry' was on the tip of his tongue. Though he was sure the pain would temporarily push away the hauntings of his past, he didn't really appreciate being attacked.950Please respect copyright.PENANACovpATSyeS

Draco kept his hands to his sides and his head down. Perhaps, he wondered, if I just stay like this whoever it is will leave.950Please respect copyright.PENANASc8kGI1rwn
950Please respect copyright.PENANAJQlJh7Xu6h
950Please respect copyright.PENANAOBnUJxw30H
Suddenly, a thought struck him. Draco took all the strength he could muster and looked up expecting to see someone, but he was met by nothing. There was no one there. But, yet.. He had ran into something.950Please respect copyright.PENANA8VPIaCaAWr
950Please respect copyright.PENANADwJNL4whXl
950Please respect copyright.PENANA0PlFsLt1AB
It was hard, and it had made a noise like a deep groan. He ran into somebody, he was sure of it! But, yet.. nothing was there. Draco spun around on his heel thinking perhaps he was facing the wrong way, but still there was no one. He was beginning to feel quite nauseous. Lack of sleep was making him hallucinate. He took deep gulps playing paranoid. He hated this feeling, the feeling of not knowing.950Please respect copyright.PENANAhWtRNlfpH2

A deep chuckle sounded from his right and Draco immediately turned eyes wide but still nothing. His heart thudded against his chest. He knew it wasn't him, but yet that laugh.. if it was just longer and more sinister.. it would be him. He was back, he had come back to kill Draco, his servant that had failed him.950Please respect copyright.PENANAPcOcE3yy5V
950Please respect copyright.PENANAaNPa4U31GX
950Please respect copyright.PENANAUEy1OR1B7L
Draco wanted nothing more than to run, but his feet were lead and he was quite sure now he was hallucinating. But, he couldn't get his mind to shut up. His mind was running on the idea that Voldemort was here just a few feet away from him. Potter hadn't killed him. It was all just a joke, a ploy to bait Draco into his death. Now here he was months later, his turn to die.950Please respect copyright.PENANAD7qsqdXXrz
950Please respect copyright.PENANAmhwlqaO4iT
950Please respect copyright.PENANALxbxo3RjW9
Draco shook his head, this was silly. He knew he was being daft. Voldemort was dead, ‘course he was. He sighed getting his heartbeat back into control and regaining his senses.950Please respect copyright.PENANAb2dfUR9U4R
950Please respect copyright.PENANA3SkwsiUVVD
950Please respect copyright.PENANA2LnfFlDX2U
"W-who's there?" He cursed his stutter, but a part of his mind was still in the Malfoy Manor sitting in the dungeon waiting to know if Voldemort would be practicing the Cruciatus curse on him today or if he would be forced to use it.950Please respect copyright.PENANAcawujXlCwK
950Please respect copyright.PENANAkmXdB7eRp4
950Please respect copyright.PENANA1yLE2DjTXI
The laugh was back again, but it was more lighthearted and slightly recognizable. The chuckle reminded Draco of a time so long ago. Of course at that time the laughter was at the expense of him, but that time was so simple.950Please respect copyright.PENANAasuKTxnWxt
950Please respect copyright.PENANAu8sW1gXW9H
950Please respect copyright.PENANAQTQelyiBCK
He longed to go back to then.. when snow had just fallen and he'd went to a trip to Hogsmeade only to end up running back to Hogwarts because he'd been attacked by snowballs. The thought could almost make him smile now. "Malfoy, Malfoy, Malfoy."950Please respect copyright.PENANAglLezc83Tj
950Please respect copyright.PENANAnzx8HO7GJ2
950Please respect copyright.PENANA2ewt9CuCjR
He flinched at his name, but let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding. "Potter," he snarled regaining his senses. He reached out hoping to meet Potter's invisibility cloak, but his hand met thin air.950Please respect copyright.PENANAMaG3xE3jzQ
950Please respect copyright.PENANA81VE1ecJKl
950Please respect copyright.PENANAkvcTONZj1V
"Not there," the laugh was back and Draco would had became annoyed, but this was the closest thing to sane he'd occurred in months. "Come on, Potter. Show yourself." "Tsk. I think I'd rather not. It's rather amusing watching you flail your boney arms about." "Git," his voice held malice, but if Potter looked close enough he might mistake Draco's look as a smile. "Dick."950Please respect copyright.PENANA1sa9uZsfAA
950Please respect copyright.PENANAhSofC10Bvd
950Please respect copyright.PENANAM7OylxpmYl
"W-what?" That was a new insult, one he hadn't heard from Potter before, definitely wasn't one of his best comebacks, but neither of them were really trying too hard. "Dick, Malfoy. Like the thing you don't have."950Please respect copyright.PENANArO2hdLArDZ
950Please respect copyright.PENANAFzg2FQEIst
950Please respect copyright.PENANAFrRUuqJNOi
"Oh shove off," Draco rolled his eyes faking annoyance, but this was honestly the most fun he'd had since he'd came back to Hogwarts. The past few months Potter had been avoiding him just like everyone else. "Besides, I think you mean dick, the thing you like to suck."950Please respect copyright.PENANA60opv2OVGw
950Please respect copyright.PENANAEAcauW9oPa
950Please respect copyright.PENANAtDxaA9BmIl
Draco didn't know why he said that, but it had fallen out of his mouth before he could stop himself. Though he hadn't thought much about it, he wasn't sure sucking dick could be an insult. After all for a guy it was pleasant, but for some reason he knew this would get Potter reeled up, and he was right.950Please respect copyright.PENANAGTHIKWLECH
950Please respect copyright.PENANAEmTBWb4wUq
950Please respect copyright.PENANAD3DzSsSJg9
"Excuse you," suddenly the cloak fell to the floor in a shimmer and Draco was standing face to face with Potter for the first time since his trial. Draco was taken aback by the seriousness in Potter's tone. "For your information I don't like to suck dick, but is that offensive to you Malfoy? If I were to like to suck dick?"950Please respect copyright.PENANA0DTJ8Q7czZ
950Please respect copyright.PENANA3smySYofSc
950Please respect copyright.PENANAMFuMQo5H9u
Draco was beginning to feel nauseous again. Potter took slow cautious steps towards him making Draco step back into a wall. "One of my best mates is gay. Does that disgust you, Malfoy?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAUevD0RdbyI
950Please respect copyright.PENANAQU3vFeSE4Q
950Please respect copyright.PENANAa9MbFHpmpi
He didn't know what to say, he didn't want to accept defeat, but he also didn't enjoy what Potter was accusing him of. "You know I knew you were biased to blood, but I didn't figure you to be a homophobe too," the ferocity in Potter's voice made Draco's hair stand on edge.950Please respect copyright.PENANACLjiGR74nw
950Please respect copyright.PENANAQUGr6FdQkj
950Please respect copyright.PENANA8JXdrQ0iWZ
Though Draco was a good foot taller than Potter, he felt incredibly small being up against a wall and Potter staring up at him with his wand clutched tightly. It wouldn't take much to curse him; Draco wouldn't even defend himself if he did.950Please respect copyright.PENANAecOmq7RdyB
950Please respect copyright.PENANAETyFoGhnBv
950Please respect copyright.PENANAtbQNRMUPCv
There was a silence that fell between them, Potter breathing heavily and Draco holding his breath. They seemed to be having a stare off only Draco wasn't participating. Finally, Potter decided he had won and took a step back; picking up his cloak and beginning to place it back around him.950Please respect copyright.PENANAsNJ0WhGwA3
950Please respect copyright.PENANAHGRgS24CCV
950Please respect copyright.PENANAwgJ0gUNpi2
"I..." Draco began in a whisper, "I really don't mind.. if you are gay.. I mean if anyone is gay." He didn't really want Potter to hear it, but when Potter looked over his shoulder with a small smile Draco knew he had.
