There were many things that Draco wanted but couldn't get. Everyone except other Slytherins thought that Draco was a spoiled brat who had everything he wanted. His parents bought him expensive clothes and other stuff but he didn't care about those. Besides he knew his parents didn't buy him those to make him happy. It was because they wanted everyone to see they had money and power. Sure Draco liked to look cool but it wasn't that important to him. He was in a Quidditch team but not because of his talents. Sure he was a good player but not the best one. On the top of everything he was very handsome. So what was the problem? He could have almost any girl he wanted. But he didn't want any of them. Sure he was in love but not with one of them. Draco had loads of dreams that didn't come true. And they were secrets. No-one knew what was in his heart. Every day he acted cool and happy and oh-so-Slytherin. But every night he let his dreams fill his every thought.
In his mind Draco did a list of things he wanted. He wanted his parents to love him for who he was and to accept him. He wanted to make his own decisions without someone (usually his parents) to say it was a wrong choice. He wanted to stop acting and show everyone who he really was. And he wanted to fly with a hippogriff some day. But most of all he wanted to be with the one he loved and to be loved. Of course none of his dreams seemed to come true, but a boy can wish, right?
Every day Draco had to see his love with another boy. It hurt so badly. Draco had some friends but usually he was alone. He didn't like to spend time with his friends; they weren't that close to him. And they didn't really know the real Draco anyway.
"Why on earth Harry is with him rather than with me?" he thought. "What Seamus does have that I don't?" Seamus was in Gryffindor just like Harry and they had been friends since first week at Hogwarts. But still Draco couldn't understand why Harry had to be with him. They were friends. Friends! Not lovers. And Harry would be so much happier with me, Draco added in his mind. Of course there was this little problem that Harry and Draco weren't even friends. They never had been. And Harry didn't even know that Draco liked boys. And he kind of looked happy with Seamus. But still Draco knew they didn't belong together. They couldn't.
Harry walked with Seamus hand in hand. They had had a really nice day. They didn't notice Draco looking at them. "Oh I almost forgot! I promised to meet Hermione in the library today .She's helping me with my homework… Wanna come too?" Harry asked Seamus. "Nah, I don't want to study today… I think I just hang out with Dean or something. If you don't mind." Seamus said. "Yeah that's okay. I should go soon… Meet me later?" Harry asked. Seamus just smiled and nodded. They talked a while and then Harry kissed Seamus quickly and left.
Harry and Hermione studied a couple of hours. In the meantime Draco was walking in the castle; he had nothing better to do. Suddenly he heard someone whispering. First he didn't care about that but then he heard someone say Harrys name. Draco stopped and realized that the voices came from an empty classroom next to Draco. He walked quietly to the door and looked through the key hole. He saw Seamus and Dean talking. Draco almost turned away; he didn't want to hear Seamus telling Dean about his relationship with Harry. But then he heard more. "What about Harry?" Dean asked and he sounded annoyed. "Well what if someone sees us and tells him…" Seamus started but Dean interrupted him by kissing him to the lips. The kiss was passionate and Draco turned away; he didn't want to see if they got any further than that. Harry has to know, he thought. But I can't tell him. How will I let him know?
