I'm back and excited for this story. Its been awhile since I've wrote Harry Potter fan fiction. This story just popped into my head after listening to Rewrite the Stars from The Greatest Showman. So I guess you can say this is a song fic. Anyway, enjoy and let me know what you think. Oh and I'm sure this goes without saying, I'm not J.K Rowling and I don't own Harry Potter.

6th year, 1996

Harry Potter and Daphne Greengrass weren't the most traditional friends. After meeting at a Slughorn party, they had been keeping their friendship a secret. Daphne's parents were supporters of the Dark Lord, her father was even marked. But Daphne didn't believe in what her parents had taught her to believe . She found it hypocritical of her parents and any supporter of the Dark Lod, really, that while they didn't like muggleborns and half bloods that they were willing to follow a half blood. Daphne thought that Harry wouldn't want to be friends with her because of her parents, but he surprised her when he said that he didn't care. Harry liked that Daphne wasn't fawning all over him like other girls at Hogwarts, just for being the Chosen One. She actually saved him from multiple love potions coming from other houses, especially Slytherin.

They would meet in the Room of Requirement most of the time. The secret room that was in Hogwart, was the perfect place to help them keep their friendship a secret. Harry didn't want to know what his or her friends would do or say when they found out about the friendship between the Boy Who Lived and the Ice Queen.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is, the Chosen One." Daphne said when she entered the Room of Requirement. She was still wearing her school uniform, while Harry was wearing a pair of jeans and grey short sleeved shirt. Daphne didn't have much muggle clothing. Anything she has was kept at her best friend, Tracey Davis' house. With her parents being keen on hating all things muggle she thought it would be for the best to hide that away from them. "Merlin, it's like your face has to be on the front page of the Daily Prophet."

Harry looked up from his spot on the red and silver couch, and smiled at his blonde blue eyed friend. "Well at least the ladies love it. Hermione told me that Romilda Vane is planning on giving me a love potion."

Snorting in a way that would make her mother cringe for being unlady like, Daphne took a seat next to him on the couch. "I wouldn't touch anything coming from her. Or any girl. If it's not coming from me or Granger I wouldn't touch it."

"So is this your way of telling me that you are planning to give me a love potion? Telling me that anything you will give me would be safe and I will eat it and end up madly in love with you." The dark haired wizard asked giving her his full and undivided attention.

Rolling her blue eyes, she said the next few words in the most monotone voice she could muster. "Exactly. You figured out my master plan. Give you a love potion, marry you, and have a litter of green eyed witches and wizards who will fight off any Dark Lord that comes in their path."

"You know this is why I like you Daph. You don't think I'm this person that the paper thinks is I am. You just know that I'm Harry." Harry said with a small smile resting on his face. "It's refreshing."

"Glad to be of service." She said letting out a light feathery laugh. "So who are you taking to Slughorn's party?"

"Well I can't ask the one girl who I want to go with." Harry answered with a slight frown resting on his lips. Daphne knew he was talking about Ginny Weasley. What he saw in that girl she didn't know. There was just something about Ginny that didn't sit right with her. But it wasn't her place to tell Harry who he should and shouldn't have a crush on. If she did that then she would be just like every other girl in Hogwarts. "And Hermione has some plan to make Ron jealous, or angry with her. But I am going with Luna. I would have asked you…"

"But it wouldn't look right if we went together." Finishing his sentence. If they wanted to keep their friendship a secret and both stay safe, then no one could know. "I'm going with Theo. Have someone there to talk to if I can't talk to you."

"Are you sure Nott is a good choice?" He asked cautiously. They had an agreement where they couldn't judge each other's friends. Neither knew the full story about their friends. Only what they had heard in rumors.

"I've told you, Theo is not a Death Eater or is never going to be one." Daphne said aggressively. "He is nothing like his father. His father going to Azkaban has been the best thing for Theo."

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry." Harry sighed wrapping his arms around Daphne into a quick hug. Or what he thought was going to be a quick hug. Instead it turned into their sleeping position for the night.

Hermione Granger wasn't a dumb person. Anyone who ever had a conversation with her knew that. So when Harry started to act even weirder than he was already acting that year, she had to investigate. She noticed that Harry would leave the common room an hour before curfew almost every night. He would never tell them where he was going or let anyone come with him. While she knew Harry had been through a lot during the past year, but he seemed okay. So Hermione stole the Marauders Map trying to find where her best friend had been disappearing too. And when she found him, she was not expecting Daphne Greengrass' name to be next to his every time she looked. She knew where they were meeting, the Room of Requirement. Because every time she would find them, their names would disappear like that. It was almost like the map wanted her to know where they were. And Hermione decided she was going to catch them.

The next night after Harry left the common room, Hermione waited a few minutes before getting up to follow him. She made sure to keep her distance. She didn't want her plan to be spoiled before it could even truly begin. There had to be a reason why Harry didn't mind that Ginny wasn't on the market anymore. Hiding behind a marble post, she watched Harry hug the blonde haired Slytherin. Before she could confront them, the two walked into the Room of Requirement, leaving Hermione standing alone in the hallway. Deciding that she would wait up for Harry back in Gryffindor Tower, she headed back to the common room.

"Well hello there Harry." Hermione set her book down and turned towards the passage way. "You're past curfew."

Shrugging his shoulders, Harry took a seat next to his bushy haired friend. "Only by a few minutes. Not a big deal, so you can calm down perfect."

Rolling her eyes, Hermione thought on how she was going to bring up what she had saw in front of the Room of Requirement. Taking a deep breath, hoping that he wouldn't get mad at her again, seeing they just forgave each other not too long ago. "How long have you been seeing Daphne Greengrass?"

"How'd you.. You know what no, your Hermione Granger you figure out everything." Harry said with a shake of his head. "Um since the first Slughorn party. And we aren't dating, just friends."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" She asked slowly, trying not to ruffle any feathers. "To be friends with her right now. When, Voldemort is on the move."

"Daph isn't a Death Eater in training. You two would get along really well actually. She's been learning muggle history, wants to be a curator." Harry passive aggressively said. "And by the way, she believes me about Malfoy."

Nodding her head, surprised that Harry was this protective of Daphne. A girl he hadn't know for that long. But she also knew that it didn't matter how long you've known a person just how you get to know them. "She must be special to you."

"She is. She's coming close to being one of my best friends."

"Do you think I could meet her sometime?"

"Yeah I think you could." Harry said with a smile resting on his face.

And Harry did just that the next day. Bringing Hermione along to his meeting with Daphne was never wrecking at first but by the time the two girls got to know each other each other, it was like they have been best friends for years. Smiling softly to himself when he watched how excited Daphne got when Hermione told her about the museums she had been to in the muggle world, he couldn't help but think that maybe he didn't want to hide his friendship with Daphne anymore. But then he thought of Ron. Ron would not appreciate that Harry befriended a snake. Especially now, right when they are in the middle of a war. All Ron would be telling Harry is that she was on a mission for Voldemort. Drawing him in so Voldemort could kill him. Harry sighed when he realized he had to keep this secret longer than he wanted.

Christmas break ended much sooner than Harry was expecting but he had to get back to work on getting Slughorn to give him the memory Dumbledore. Meaning he wasn't able see Daphne as much as he wanted. They had a journal that Hermione made for them so they could continue talking without having to worry about someone seeing them. Daphne scolded herself for not thinking of it sooner. Most of the time it was small passages about what happened that day. Other times it was one liners they would send to each other during a class they shared. Even though the journal was great for their friendship, it just didn't feel the same as seeing each other in person, one on one. So when the journal lit up, Daphne jumped on the journal and read everything.

'Come meet me.'

Looking around her dorm room, she noticed that her roommates had fallen asleep. Much easier to sneak out. Throwing on her school cardigan over her thin pajama top and pulling on a pair of shoes, Daphne quietly left her room. Making sure the coast was clear in the common room, she power walked to the passage way. Once she was out of the dungeons, she began her way to the seventh floor. Stopping behind corners to make sure Flitch and his cat weren't waiting for her to show herself. She wasn't going to get caught, she was going to see Harry if she had anything to do with it. It had been months since they were able to have one on one time with each other. She was going crazy not being able to look into his glowing green eyes when he was passionate about something. And when he laughed, it was like all the pain he suffered went away. She didn't know when her crush on Harry Potter started, but it was there prominent in her mind and heart.

"There you are." Harry said when Daphne entered their room that the Room of Requirement gives them. It was tastily decorated in Slytherin and Gryffindor colors. Anything red was outlined in silver. And the gold was lined around the green. It was perfect for the two of them.

"Here I am." Daphne whispered when Harry pulled her into a hug. "I missed you."

Squeezing her a little bit harder, not enough to hurt her though. "I missed you too."

"Okay so what is this big news that you needed me to meet you after curfew?" Daphne said recutenly pulling away from Harry's firm grasp.

Smiling quite largely, he gave her the news she was dreading on hearing. "Ginny and I are together now."

"That's it?" Taking a step back away from him, she couldn't control what was coming out of her mouth. Yet she wasn't sure if she wanted to stop it. "You dragged me out of bed saying come meet me. And all it was about is that you are dating that bloody annoying freckled faced gastly redhead. Who all year remind you, was dating other boys. You are just another notch on her bed post. She doesn't love you. Harry, she loves the idea of you."

"Your wrong. Ginny cares about me." Harry said hurt that his best friend felt this way about his new girlfriend. "She doesn't give a damn that I'm the Boy Who Lived. The Chosen One."

"That's all she bloody cares about!" Daphne screamed. She couldn't believe he was this daft. "She may be able to fool you. But she can't fool me. I'm a Slytherin I can tell when someone is lying to you. I don't trust people and I definitely don't trust her."

Shaking his head in disbelief, he looked straight into Daphne's blue eyes. "I trust her and I care about her. That's all that matters to me right now and if you don't like it. You can leave."

"Come find me when everything falls apart." And Daphne did just that.
