Shiver

Harry walked into the potions classroom and took his new seat by the aisle. Normally he wouldn’t present himself in such a vulnerable way to Professor Snape, but he sat here all the same. There were reasons after all. And here came the reason now. Draco Malfoy was more handsome now than he had been yesterday or the day before that. Harry tried to suppress a sigh as he watched the boy walk in. Draco just sneered at him. 1

“What is it Potter? Have you taken to staring at people who actually have a life now?” Harry blushed and looked down, surprised to see a folded piece of paper in his lap. It was from Draco, it had to be. He hadn’t even noticed it drop into his lap when he passed. He stuffed the letter into his sleeve and waited for class to end. He wouldn’t dare take the chance of having it taken up. 2

You build me up.3

You knock me down.4

Provoke a smile,5

And make me frown.6

You are the queen of runaround.7

You know it's true.8

Harry escaped to the restroom as soon as class was over, making excuses to his friends that he didn’t feel well. He ducked into a stall and unfolded the treasured piece of paper. He knew that Draco was completely under his skin now and he would never be able to feel anything but this rush of excitement. He knew it was directions telling him to meet Draco someplace at a certain time. He took the paper and held it against his chest, wondering if he had the same effect on Draco at all.9

You chew me up,10

And spit me out.11

Enjoy the taste12

I leave in your mouth.13

You look at me,14

I look at you.15

Neither of us know what to do.16

Harry climbed up to the astronomy tower. He knew Draco would be waiting for him there but like any other time, he had no idea if this was going to be a physical visit or not. His heart fluttered and as he reached the top he thought about turning around and leaving. Just stopping this now and not letting Draco know he had so much power over him. But like always he went in and submitted to the boy once again. Draco smiled at him lazy. He was leaning against the far wall, covered with a blanket.17

“I see that you finally made it. Good…” Draco’s voice was barely above a purr. Harry shivered lightly and looked at him, not saying anything. He walked across the room and kneeled in front of the waiting boy. Draco grinned, but it was a cold sort of smile. His eyes glittered as he looked Harry over.18

There may not,19

Be another way to your heart.20

So I guess I'd better find a new way in.21

I shiver when I hear your name.22

Think about you but it's not the same.23

I won't be satisfied ‘til I'm under your skin.24

Harry didn’t even wait for directions this time. He was going to be in control of this situation. He was determined to make Draco feel the same way he did. He stripped off his shirt and dropped it to the floor. He moved towards Draco and pressed his lips against Draco’s neck. He nibbled softly and pulled the blanket away. He was shocked to find that Draco was already unclothed under the blanket. He was aroused already and though it turned Harry on to know that, it froze him in place. He didn’t know how to react to such an obvious show. Draco reached up and grabbed his hair. He pulled Harry’s head back and bit on his jugular. Harry gasped and tried to pull away, to no avail.25

Immobilized by the thought of you.26

Paralyzed by the sight of you.27

Hypnotized by the words you say.28

Not true but I believe ‘em anyway.29

“Harry… Did you really think that I would let you do something like that?” Draco’s lips moved against Harry’s throat, his breath hot and dry. He shivered again, looking down at the nude form in front of him. Draco reached up and took the glasses from Harry’s face, casting them aside in the corner. The sound of glass cracking came when they landed, and Harry knew he would have to fix them later. He moved closer to Draco and melted against him.30

So come to bed It's getting late.31

There's no more time for us to waste.32

Remember how my body tastes.33

You feel your heart begin to race.34

The boy’s melted into each other, the roles of control never being an issue. They knew what the other wanted and responded in kind the desires of the other. When Draco guided Harry to spots, he knew exactly what to do to push Draco over the edge. When Harry whimpered for release, Draco knew exactly where to touch him to make him cry out until his voice was hoarse. Sometimes it was a wonder that they weren’t discovered. When it was over they laid in each others arms for a moment. Then Draco got up and dressed. His clothing had been laying in a corner, but now they were needed. He smirked at Harry and left without saying anything, leaving the blanket behind. 35

There may not,36

Be another way to your heart.37

So I guess I'd better find a new way in.38

I shiver when I hear your name.39

Think about you but it's not the same.40

I won't be satisfied ‘til I'm under your skin.41

Feel your heart begin to race!42

Harry looked at the door for a long time after Draco had closed it behind him. He stared at it longingly and curled up in the blanket. He knew Draco left it there for him, although he didn’t know why. To taunt him or not, it made him feel cast aside like it was. He curled into a ball and cried softly. 43

There may not44

Be another way to your heart45

So I guess I'd better find a new way in46

And I shiver when I hear your name47

Think about you but it's not the same48

I won't be satisfied ‘til I'm under your skin49

    Thank you! I actually had the song in mind before the story. And I molded the story around it. ^_^ I was worried about the POV but thank you for putting my mind at ease. I appreciate the comments. Feel free to come by when my next work is up! ^_^

    This was great! That song fit in perfectly with all that was happening. Had you planned to use it, or did it just come together like that? I loved the way the emotions were thrown together, and how it was mostly from Harry's point of view, but Draco's opinions and such were well made known, too. I loved the description, that was really nicely done, it painted just the right amount of imagery in my mind without over-doing it or making it seem too fake. Interesting play on the whole story, I liked this a lot. Well done.
