Chapter 2.
I walked up and sat near the edge, looking up at the stars.
They were beautiful.
"Harry? Y'altight mate? You've been awfully quiet.." Ron said, sitting next to me.
"I'm fine." I lied. I wasn't.
I hated not being able to tell him.
But he wouldn't understand. I had to figure out when to tell him.
And Hermione. Oh god. Her too.
I need Ginny. She's the only one that would actually understand how to deal with this. But I couldn't go get her right now.
So I just sat and stared at the stars.
"Hey, so ever since you and Ginny broke up you've been distant. But you still seem close with her. I don't understand" Rons voice interrupted my thoughts.
I looked over at him with a small genuine smile. "Sorry. I didn't realize. Ginny and I broke up for the same reason. We both decided we were better off as friends and.. Stuff. And there's just something. Like after dating someone. " it felt weird to say that, talking about Ginny. "Even if it was only for a short while, you learn things. And so just somethings come more naturally to talk about with her. I'm not replacing you with your sister bough, don't worry" I laughed and hit his shoulder gently.
He laughed.
"Plus, I wanna give you and Hermione some alone time." I winked.
He turned crimson, ears bright. "Shuddup" he mumbled.
I laughed.
I don't know how long we spent looking at the stars, but we headed back to the dormitory and the two of them were asleep. I looked over at Draco. He looked peaceful. He didn't have that usual snarl to his lips. He looked... Content.
I blushed, realizing I'm staring at somebody who's sleeping, and tuck myself in, like I have my whole life.
I woke up the next morning to Ron shaking me. "If you don't get up now you're not gonna have time for breakfast" He said.
I sighed and got up. I caught glimpse of Dracos platinum blond hair as he walked out of the washroom, his tie wasn't tied and he looked.. Extremely sexy. I sighed and pulled my robe on, just doing my tie lazily. I looked in the mirror as I walked in the bathroom. I attempted to tame my hair, with no luck. I sighed, fixing my glasses.
I walked out and accidentally brushed against Draco as I passed. "Sorry," I mumbled, face hot.
I grabbed my bag and headed down to breakfast with Ron.
As I was about to grab food, Ginny walked into the hall. "One sec" I told Ron and and walked to Ginny.
I brought her back out of the great hall and she looked at me. "What happened?"
I shook my head. "Last night, Ron and I were up late talking. He asked what happened between us, how we're still so close if.." I paused as Draco waked by, we made eye contact, my heart skipped a beat. "Uh.. I-if we uh. Broke up," I looked back at her, she was smirking at me. "What?" I sighed.
"Nothing, go on," she smiled.
I sighed. "Anyways, he was like asking why we don't hate each other. I wanted to tell him so bad, Gin, but how will he react? Especially if he finds out who" I was ranting. I knew I was. She always gave me this look when I was. It was like a 'done yet?' Kinda look.
"He's your best friend. Plus he's my brother. If anyone knows him, it's us. Do you really think he'd stop talking to you because you're..." She stopped herself because there was people around.
If word slipped to one single person that Harry Potter was gay, the whole school would know by the time breakfast even finished.
I sighed. "So I should tell him? Like as soon as I can?" I asked.
She nodded. "I can come with you if you want." She said.
I nodded. "After school, just outside?" I said.
"Deal" she kissed my cheek and went to get breakfast.
I walked over to where Ron was, now joined by Hermione.
I smiled. "Hi guys" I sat down and actually had something to eat.
We talked about everything and nothing, eventually Ron and Hermione started doing their couple-but-I-hate-you thing so I glanced over at the slytherin table, where he was. He was looking at me.
When I looked back I could have sworn his cheeks tinted pink.
I know mine were.
I watched him as he quickly and carefully left the great hall. Oh well, I'll see him in Potions anyways. First period.
"Harry? Hellooooo?" Hermione snapped her fingers in front of my face.
"Huh? What?" I looked at her.
"What was so interesting. You were staring over there like your life depended on it" she laughed.
I laughed nervously. "Oh just zoned out" I shrugged.
She nodded. "So anyways as I was saying. I think at lunch we should go to the library and see if maybe we can get ahead of our studies so you guys don't struggle like you have the passed 6 years" she said.
Ron and I groaned.
This would be a long year.
Okay I promise there's Drarry in the next chapter. PROMISE.
