"And that's the London Eye," Harry pointed up at the big wheel, and Krum tilted his head up to get a better view.
"It looks better when it lights up," Hermione added. "Which should be . . . now."
As she said this, one by one, the lights on the London Eye sparked to life.
"It's . . . beautiful. We never have these things in Bulgaria." Krum continued to watch the wheel spin slowly.
Harry continued the tour of London, with Hermione and Ron adding comments where appropriate. Krum had come to visit London for a couple weeks during the summer, and the trio decided that a good chat with Krum would be able to take their minds off the Battle of Hogwarts.
Soon it was getting a bit late so they decided to go visit one of the pubs nearby. Soon they were sat around a small table drinking beers and their conversation drifted towards the fourth year. Harry tried to avoid the topic of Cedric, but thankfully the other three were doing the same.
"Some of my lads went crazy for your blonde guy. He was a Slytherin, I think?" Krum's comment left Harry a bit bewildered. He look across the table to Ron, and his eyes said the same thing. Is he talking about bloody Malfoy?
"Anyway, Andrei, who got to make out with him a few times, even wanted to stay in touch after, but your blondie declined awkwardly while his pals were snickering and muttering something about 'unrequited crushes on sodding Gryffindors', so Andrei left it at that."
Harry glanced at Ron again. Crushes on Gryffinfors?"Can't really remember the guy's name. Something that starts with D?"
Harry froze. It was clearly bloody Malfoy, who apparantly was gay? And used to be crushing on a Gryffindor?
"He didn't seem that interested in Andrei though. He told me that the blondie was a good kisser."
Harry didn't pay much attention to what Krum was saying for the rest of the evening. He only zoned back in when Krum said it was time for him to leave. He was staying in a hotel with a couple other wizards he knew.
Harry and his friends helped Krum take the bus to where he was staying, then they made their way to where they were staying for the summer, with what was left of Ron's family. That night, and for the rest of the summer, Harry could only think about Draco. He was gay? And had had a crush on a Gryffindor? Who was it? It couldn't be . . . him . . . could it?
~•~•~
When September came, the trio returned to Hogwarts for their 8th year. Draco was also there, obviously, but now Harry couldn't even look at him the same.
It was gonna be a long year for Harry.
