2 Trouble in paradise

All the laughing and chatting students that surrounded Draco Malfoy made him feel terribly lonely after all that time of being imprisoned by his own father. To him the noise at the station was nearly unbearable because the boy wasn't used to it after his time of perfect silence. It felt like another torture to his sensitive ears now and his senses were overwhelmed by so much different information at the same time. The daylight hurt his eyes and he had to blink away some tears while his father gave him a deadly glare and hissed, "Remember that I forbid you to tell anyone!" Lucius Malfoy left the platform quickly ignoring all the people around still looking very angry.

When his father was gone, the silver-haired boy decided to sit down in an empty compartment at the end of the train because he needed some peace before he could speak to anyone else. Nobody would notice that he didn't join the other Slytherins because everyone knew his changing moods and they wouldn't disturb him. He then waved his hands to some seventh year Slytherins that tried to get his attention and gave them a piercing stare to let them know he wanted to be alone.

The Hogwarts Express soon started and Malfoy was still the only person in his compartment because he glared angrily at everyone who tried to join him. His new freedom was something that he had to realize first before he could handle it or feel lucky about it. Draco still felt nothing but emptiness and sadness inside. He wished he could feel alive again but didn't know how. In a sudden fit of anger, he hit his fist against the mirror in front of his seat until he noticed that his hand was bleeding.

Draco watched several bleeding cuts on his knuckles and began to feel the warmth of his own blood and his hand began to ache. To his own surprise that ache and the warm blood flowing down his fingers made him really feel alive again. It was the first time that he could really feel something and was aware of his own body again since he was hit by the Cruciatus Curse during the last holidays. Draco Malfoy was lost in his thoughts and suddenly took a piece of the broken mirror and cut his arm again and again.

Blood was flowing over his under arm and the blonde Slytherin felt his arm burn because of the cuts and scratches and he was breathing heavily. Totally exhausted he stopped the self-destructive act and felt sort of satisfied. Draco then pulled his sleeves down to hide what he had done.

Now, he felt strong enough to handle his return to Hogwarts and his return to social life at all.
If he had known how easy it was to feel alive again, he would have done earlier this rite of cutting and he didn't permit himself to notice the single thought of worry that was deep under the surface of his mind.

A conversation in the compartment next to his own was growing louder and louder and he was suddenly torn out of his deep thoughts. It seemed that some students were discussing or quarrelling about something and the voices were very familiar to him. Weasley was yelling angrily "No, that's perverse and I don't want to hear something about it you disgusting idiot!"
The Know-It-All Granger tried to calm her boyfriend down "Ron, stop insulting him, he’s your best friend!"

The Boy-Who-Lived bellowed back at Ron "Ron, don't be such a thick-headed idiot that's my business and you have to get used to my choice or just leave me alone!"

Draco couldn't overhear the loud voices and asked himself what might have caused that trouble between the famous trio of Gryffindor and so-called best friends. He heard the Weasel spit out and speaking spitefully "No I can't get used to it. You are a damned freak by Merlin’s beard! That's disgusting and against nature!"

After a moment of silence someone jumped up with a loud crash, rushed out of the compartment and stormed right into the nearly empty compartment beside and Draco found himself face to face with a pale and angry looking Harry Potter.

The famous raven-haired Gryffindor was panting and in his emerald eyes, all his feelings were visible for a brief moment. Feelings like hurt, anger, sadness, and desperation. As Harry noticed the other boy he looked at him in surprise and his face didn't show his emotions anymore. The Slytherin wasn't too surprised that the other boy could hide his feelings so fast and made a mental note that he wasn't the only good actor at this school. Unsure of what to do the blonde boy asked, "What's wrong?"

Harry answered shortly "None of your business, Malfoy, but I think we'll have to share this compartment for the rest of the journey now if you don't mind?"
The Slytherin nodded silently glancing at the other boy surprised.

Both boys didn't speak at first but watched each other carefully and their eyes locked several times. When Draco’s silver blue eyes met Harry's jewel-bright green eyes they felt like drowning and they couldn't stop looking at each other musing about the secrets that the other young wizard might hide behind his well build fa’ade. Harry was the one who broke at least the silence and stated softly "Malfoy you look like something happened to you during the holidays."

The Slytherin shrugged and told the other boy "Oh, that's really none of your business, .. But no, nothing happened to me!"

The Boy-Who-Lived sneered and came to the conclusion "Touché Malfoy! What about a deal? I'll tell you what we were quarrelling about and you tell me what happened to you. Quid pro quo!"

Draco looked thoughtfully at the other boy and decided to agree because he desperately wanted someone to speak to after a long solitude. The silver- haired wizard knew that Harry Potter wouldn't tell anyone his secret because he was a damned brave Gryffindor who would hold a promise even if it would kill him and he was the only student in the whole school that surely never would tell another Slytherin or his father something about this. The blonde boy nodded slowly to show his agreement and said, "O.K., but it will take some time and for heavens sake - it’s your turn first!"

The black haired Gryffindor took a deep breath and spoke with a suddenly hoarse voice "Well, Ron is disgusted because I told him that I'm gay."
Draco looked at the other boy with surprise and whispered, "Burning hell, the rumours are true then."

The Boy-Who-Lived shrugged and added, "Yes, it's the damned truth. I’ve known it since my fifth year and it took me a while to get used to it but it's nothing that I could change. Maybe the others blame me for my sexuality but I don't care anymore!"

Harry looked with his glittering, green eyes at the blonde Slytherin and argued, "Now it's your turn Malfoy."

Without emotion and with a flat voice the silver-haired boy told the Gryffindor "My father locked me in my room for the holidays because I refused to follow Voldemort and join the Death Eaters. He also punished me for my betrayal."

The raven-haired boy had a surprised expression in his face as he asked, "Why did you refuse to follow Voldemort?"

Draco shrugged and answered honestly "I don't want to praise a wannabe like this God-like. He’s a psycho and I don’t want to obey his every order, not knowing if he will humiliate or punish me for any fault I make in his eyes. No, that's really not my way!"

Both boys spent the rest of their time having a really good conversation and Draco Malfoy was glad for the first time since that terrible summer started. He enjoyed the company of his former archrival and still couldn’t believe that the boy who had been his enemy for so long, was the one listening to him so carefully and gave him a feeling of safety and understanding.
