Chapter 10: Tap Dance

"is infuriating," cried Narcissa when Minerva gave the report of the daily interactions of the boys.

According to the director, things hab & amp; iacute; an cooled considerably since the start of classes at school. "You do not know what was what went wrong," mused Minerva. "I made sure to pass alone the entire afternoon, sat together at the banquet, even Harry was quick to assimilate the idea that Teddy had been in Slytherin, but something suddenly changed," he reported.

"I saw the flowers, which, incidentally, was an excellent idea, Minnie. Harry had them on hand when he got home, but then he went straight to his room with them. Draco looked furious, perhaps even jealous, but alldid was stay out of Harry's room for several minutes before withdrawing into his own room, "Andromeda said.

"Draco can be very stubborn," Narcissa sighed.

"certainly has no monopoly in this regard, believe me, from what I've seen, Harry can also be quite stubborn," said Minerva. "Well, the two have turned around each other for years, and this week was the worst. I had never seen two people so adept at evasion. "

Andromeda laughed. "They should habma to put them together in the same room, "murmured Andromeda.

"Well, if kids enjoy both hovering around the other, may need a taste of their own chocolate," Minerva suggested lifting the poster for the Halloween dance.

The three women began to laugh and draw a new plan. ***





Draco looked across the room to Potter, who had persuaded him to stay away. The director was ruining his whole plan, and if you do not know, think he knew exactly what he was doing. CHT

MLXC tracker spell that made Potter had been running well all week, but what was the use if he was forced to share a room with him?

Harry was avoiding her gaze from the welcoming banquet. Something had changed, something had cooled between them and Draco was grateful but at the same time I felt the loss and regret it. Harry refused to look at even now, standing right in front of him surrounded by Gryffindor.

"As everyone knows, the last Friday in October will take place the ball haswith students on Monday, "Minerva continued.

Harry paled considerably and Draco was sure that if he could, he would have paled more. So much for his plan to avoid Harry.

"Professor Malfoy, Professor Potter, please come with me to the front," the director instructed firmly.

Draco gulped with difficulty and began its slow journey toward the front of the room taking care not to look at Harry.
"Now, the heads of their homes will demonstrate some of the more traditional dances will be at the ball, & amp; rdquo; said as usual.
Draco grimaced, shaking his head. "Seriously, Mr. Director, I am a terrible dancer," he lied.

"Nonsense, Draco, I've seen you dance and are lighter than air," I coaxed.

nodded died of shame and unable to think of something to get him out of this predicament. ***





Harry inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. I still hurt Draco constant rejection of a simple event, but would have to put up and take the courageous students. Only only wishthere was no reason for Harry to continue exposing themselves to be rejected again and again.

At one point nearly gave in to the wishes of Malfoy sleeping with him, but he knew too well to know that if he slept with the beautiful Slytherin, I could not hide his feelings for the other man and that would have hurt him much more a rejection of Draco.

Now just need to ignore until those romantic feelings fade away and then could work on building a new relationship based strictly on a professional friendship with another man. However, could not help thinking with regretto evade it would not be as easy as it had been the last few days.

His eyes were diverted to the face of Draco, did not look straight in the eye, but just above. "Professor Malfoy," he said with a sarcastic bow. Draco rolled his eyes ignoring students who could not stop laughing softly.

"Potter," replied in the same mocking tone but also with a touch of coldness. It was obvious that Draco had noticed that he was avoiding ably, but perhaps not entirely indifferent to that fact. "He was upset, hurt or quiz & al English waltz should be danced slowly around, "Harry said, and suppressed a growl when approached Elya Draco. "It's a time step and each movement must be fluid but determined."

At the insistence of the director, the boys began to move awkwardly near Ely Draco both trying to lead.
Minerva chuckled and stopped screaming over the music. "Teachers, only one can lead," he cried.

"I guess like you're the big hero, you want to be the one to guide you," Draco muttered annoyed. CHT
As Harry to mean that really was not interested. "And how did you get that job? It is quite an accomplishment for someone your age, "Draco asked suddenly surprise them.

"I did not ask, in fact nor wanted," whispered Harry. "In addition, Minerva still has several years, so I do not see that side of the desk at least a decade," he said.

"It's still pretty impressive, even for you," Draco praises him. "What do you thinkMLXC "Well, not a date. It is a confirmation of facts. I need to see what you're talking to all this stuff to the moon to make sure you're not delusional, "Draco suggested. "I feel obliged to tell the principal if you can not teach."

Harry could not contain the smile that appeared on his face as he nodded. "Okay, tonight."





*** Draco was wrong, the director stopped the waltz and all I did was assign new dances to practice each week with their students.

Teddy hit him then looked nervous. "I was a disaster, do you see?" Draco asked when they were alone.

"I'm sure you were right, Teddy," Draco reassured him.

"Then I saw?" Teddy smiled corrected. "Is it because you were too busy flirting with Uncle Harry?"

"I was not flirting with Potter," replied quickly and a little defensive.

"I think he doth protest too much," Teddy said proudly.
and agreement. After all, worked and lived together. They could not continue playing avoided, the director had made it perfectly clear hours earlier. ***




The dinner passed without incident. Teachers spoke little, but it was all said in a friendly and civil, without the mocking tone he had all week. After Harry approached him to discuss the details of the plan to be in the portrait of the fat lady at nine-thirty.

Draco arrived on time as usual and had to wait for Harry that he was late, as usual. It scared a little when the portrait opened &, When he was a man. Well, imagine that also needed an extraordinary willpower to fight and win the Dark Lord.

"I guess you're not going to tell me where they are, right?" Asked half-jokingly. Honestly he never wanted to search for relics, but not be able to pass by without seeing if the opportunity presented itself.

"Not remotely," said Harry, smiling.

"Never mind," said Draco shrugged elegantly. "So, what is thelayer? "

" I used to use to walk through the castle at night, so I thought I'd show you, "Harry said while I laid the fabric on both. The canvas fluttered

revealing everything below the knees as they walked slowly dimly lit castle. In some corridors lit torches as they approached and surprised to Draco, causing Harry laughed softly. It was after one of those passages when Draco realized he was holding the hand of Potter. Harry hardly seemed to notice, but once he did Draco could not think of anything else. The feeling & OverhaulI n warm and comforting that caused him to have his fingers intertwined with Harry he was leaving with mixed feelings that I could not even begin to explain.

"Is not it magical?" Harry whispered softly in his ear and Draco was about to reply with a sarcastic comment that it was an obvious statement when talking about a school ma ; Belgium, but instead followed the direction of Harry's eyes.

were on an upper floor of the main castle, watching the wide open space that led to the Great Hall. They had a perfect view of the variousmoving stairs and the old stone walls covered with portraits asleep. The sky seemed to glow under the yellow light of torches and everything was covered with a flashing haze that seemed to come to the view through the invisibility cloak.

Draco could not help slow smile formed on his lips as he nodded. "This explains a lot," he meditated.

Harry looked inquiringly. "Like what?"

"Well, explain how you could peel off with yours so many times, Why were so tired during the morning classes and why do you always looked so sad the last day when we had to take the train back to London, "said ; Draco looked troubled thinking of Harry's young eyes on the last day of each year.

Harry nodded, smiling. "Explain all that part."

"Partly," she asked suddenly curious about the other explanations.

But Harry did not say anything else, if you just watched the castle covered in darkness coaa farthest window and sat on the windowsill. He sat down at his knees Ely, though bent, were intertwined.

For a while neither looked at the moon, both looked at one there sitting on the windowsill. Harry's eyes took on an otherworldly glow under the moonlight and framed by long, thick eyebrows, called Draco. His scar was almost invisible, partly covered by a tuft of black hair and partially masked by the distortion of light through the window. In this light, Draco could think of him as an innocent child, someone without the weight ofwhole world on his shoulders, someone who had never seen a war, much less fought in one, someone who was pure and perfect.

found quickly captivated by her mere presence, as if Draco had something inside that would long be with him forever. It was strange to think that really did not know much more than the rest of the world about the war hero. I thought you knew a little more because he had grown close to him. They were enemies at school, and who knows you best if not your enemies? Nobody.

But there was much more than what was seen simnaked eye, and Draco was eager to discover everything I could and made him happy to know that Harry does not mind sharing their secrets, things that probably only a few others knew. "So if Peverell are your ancestors, that means that you related to Salazar Slytherin," Draco said first model realizing important it was that news. "You were the heir of Slytherin?" Immediately asked completely intrigued.

Harry made a slight move. "Tom Riddle, or Voldemort, he was the heir. I guess to some extent I am, but I obedecíaa basilisk me. &Harry and Draco knew what that might mean. Did he go out with Harry Potter on a date? Certainly not, just wanted to be a friend of the legendary man. "I'd love to tell you everything, but not tonight, okay?" Draco nodded

immediately relieved as much as not having to sit listening attentively, sinking Masy more in the hole at which he was disappointed because they hear more stories tonight and euphoric because there would be another time, perhaps another night, though certainly not be & iacute
