Chapter 1- Taking it Hard
"What?!" Draco screeched in the empty slytherin common room to his boyfriend Blaise Zabini.
"Blaise, you can not break up with me. You can't. And even if you could, why would you want to? I'm wealthy, good looking, and not to mention charming." Draco said giving Blaise a look of smug assurance.
"You're also an arrogant, manipulative, little snake" Blaise said wiping the smug smile off Draco's face.
"Yes, well I am in slytherin" Draco said coldly.
"Draco look, I'm sorry but there are more important things in life then gallons and good looks." Blaise softly said placing a hand on Draco's shoulder.
"Like what?" Draco snapped shaking off Blaise's hand. "Mason Summers? Is he what's so important Blaise?"
Blaise's eyes widened momentarily.
"Draco" he sighed.
Draco sneered. "I knew it. You chose a wimpy, crybaby hufflepuff over me. You will regret this, Blaise. I'll make sure of it." And with that last sentence Draco stormed out of the common room leaving Blaise to shake his head sadly.
Harry could not believe what he had just witnessed. He saw it, still had the images running wildly through his head, but his mind refused to believe it. Cory wouldn't do this to him. Cory loved him. He had told him so that morning at breakfast, and yesterday at lunch, and the day before that during their midnight meeting. But, Harry supposed, the love that Cory had for him wasn't strong enough, since he had resorted to Melissa Carter to satisfy the physical needs Harry refused to give him.
Harry had caught them red handed in the boys' ravenclaw dormitories that night while everyone was at dinner, and his mind was still confused. But soon his confusion turned into realization. Of course Cory didn't love him; Cory had just wanted to coax Harry into something he didn't want to do. Harry couldn't believe he was just realizing this now. What an idiot he had been.
Harry felt a surge of anger flow through him as he stormed down the Hogwarts 6th floor corridor in a blind fury. He would make Cory pay for using him. He was not some toy-
"Ouch!" Harry yelped as he collided with something very solid and was knocked to the ground.
"For Merlin's sake Potter watch where I'm walking!" came an irritated voice from above Harry.
Recognizing the voice immediately Harry rose from the ground and glared at the other boy. This was just what he needed.
"Look Malfoy, I don't have time-" Hold on, were those tears on Malfoys face?
"Malfoy, have you been crying?"
Harry watched in shocked amusement as the blonde began to wipe hastily at his eyes and cheeks.
"Of course not Potter, I'll leave that job to the hufflepuffs. Now sod off" Malfoy said making to move around the gryffindor but Harry quickly blocked his path.
"Not until you tell me why you were crying." Harry said, stubbornly staying put.
He had hated the blonde haired git since day one but the gryffindor in him didn't like seeing someone upset, even if it was Malfoy.
"I don't see why it is any of your business Potter, now let me be" Malfoy said, once again trying to move around Harry's body, but finding himself unsuccessful. So he tried another tactic.
"Damn it Potter, I said let me be!" Malfoy yelled charging into Harry and knocking them both backwards. Malfoy landed on Harry's chest his face knocking into the raven-haired boys' nose.
"Jesus Malfoy what did you have to do that for!" Harry exclaimed clutching his nose with one hand and pushing Malfoy off of him with the other.
"Well next time move when I ask you too" Malfoy spat before standing up, adjusting his robes, and walking in the opposite direction.
Harry still sat on the ground, hand gently rubbing his nose. 'I wonder what that was about' he thought, carefully picking himself up, and deciding to go down to dinner and tell his friends about Cory.
'Damn Blaise. Damn Harry Potter. Damn the whole bloody wizarding world' Draco thought while lying awake in bed that very same night.
He still couldn't understand it. In his eyes (and in many others he was sure) he was perfect. Sure he was a bit... mean sometimes. But that was only to people who were below him, and there were several.
It wasn't his fault that Granger was a mudblood or that the Weasel was poor. He couldn't help it that Neville Longbottom was a clumsy fool and that, that awful gamekeeper Hagrid was an unsuitable teacher and a hairy oaf. If anyone had the problem it was Blaise. Who in their right mind would give up a Malfoy?
Draco sighed. And then there was Potter. Ruddy Saint Potter. How dare he think that he had the right to know what was going on in Draco's life. And even if he did know, what could he possibly do? This was the one time in Potters life that he was going to be unable to lend a helping hand. Not that Draco needed it. After all he was a Malfoy. And Malfoys work alone.
