Chapter One: Is It That Obvious?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron sighed heavily as he watched Draco Malfoy enter the great hall and glide toward the Slytherin table, beautiful blue eyes sparkling, blonde hair wisping...
He'd had a crush on him since he'd seen him, but now their fifth year, things had just gotten worse. Draco had filled out into a very handsome boy, and Ron's body was continually showing him that he REALLY liked the boy. Ron had accepted the fact that he liked boys, not easily though. He had decided it best to keep it a secret; it would not be good for his image if everyone knew he was a poof. And his mum would die of shame…
"Ron!" Ron snapped out of his daze and looked quickly toward Hermione, the source of the yelling. "Huh?" She gave him a concerned look, "Did you do your potions essay... Are you ok? You've been zoning out a lot the past few weeks."
Ron just shrugged, cursing himself inwardly for his carelessness. "Just had a lot on my mind lately. Blimey, these classes get tougher each year."
Hermione looked skeptical but just nodded slowly, "If you say so."
Ron got up and looked toward Hermione, "Good thing you mentioned that potions essay, I'd better go do it." He walked out of the great hall toward the Gryffindor common room. Yeah right, potions essay, hah! His mind drifted off while his feet led him.
That slender blonde haired boy with sparkling blue eyes and graceful motion...
"Hey Ron!" Ron shook himself out of it and smiled at Harry. "Hey Harry."
Harry looked around, "Where's Hermione?"
Ron thumbed backwards "She's in the hall still eating, told her I was off to do my potions essay."
Harry laughed, "And she believed you?! Well, how about later on we go out and play some Quidditch?"
Ron sighed, "I don't know, this potions essay might take all day, bloody Snape!" They both burst out laughing.
Harry started toward the great hall, "I'll catch you later." and with a wave, Ron rounded the corner, running right into Draco Malfoy, sending him falling to the ground.
Draco picked himself up off the ground, turning to face Ron with an evil snarl, "Bloody Weasley, watch where the hell you're going. I knew you were dumb, but blind too? What a tragedy."
"S-s-sorry Mal...I'm not blind you git!" Luckily for Ron, though he had initially turned red from embarrassment, it could now be easily mistaken for anger. Ron clenched his fists in frustration, trying not to hit him.
Draco saw this and laughed, "You aren't going to hit me Weasel. I've seen the way you stare at me, you'd snog me to death before you hit me."
Ron was frozen in fear; his secret love acknowledged and brought up by Malfoy himself. "I-I don't know what you're talking about!"
Draco just smiled, stepping forward toward Ron, slowly placing a hand on Ron's cheek. "Oh, I think you do, I can see it in your eyes."
Ron was shaking now, that soft fair hand on his cheek, those eyes full of ...compassion? He couldn't stand it anymore; he just turned around and ran, wiping the tears from his eyes. Had Malfoy just been messing with him, or did he like Ron too? He ran into the bathroom down the hall, locking himself in the stall, bawling his eyes out.
