**Hey guys! We're back with chatpter 2 of Facing The Truth! We're so excited to be putting this story out, and we're glad that people are enjoying reading it :) Reads and Reviews are always appreciated! Now, onto the story...**

Harry went back to the room he shared with Ron and Hermione, managing a small smile when he saw the two holding hands. He didn't say anything though and went back to staring out the window for the rest of the ride. He was honestly nervous about having to face Draco again, but at least he had managed to calm himself down.

The train finally pulled into the station and Draco heaved another big sigh. He slowly made his way back to his original seat, giving Pansy a glare, before grabbing his stuff and making his way to the carriages.

Harry was still silent as he grabbed his own stuff, waiting for Hermione and Ron to follow, before he too headed to the carriages with his two friends. By the time they got there, Draco had already arrived. And they were expected to share the carriage with said Malfoy boy. "I think we should wait for the next one. Wouldn't want the spoiled prat to have to share something for once in his life." So...maybe he hadn't calmed himself down just yet.

Draco rolled his eyes. "Whatever Potter. Either get in or wait. Doesn't effect me either way just hurry up."

Harry was stubborn, so he intended on waiting. But when he saw Hermione and Ron start to put their stuff on the carriage his jaw dropped. "You're kidding me..." he muttered out.

Draco just rolled his eyes and moved down slightly to allow the two to get on. It looked like it was about to rain and he wanted to get going as soon as possible. "What's it going to be Potter?"

Harry grumbled a bit to himself before he gave in and put his stuff on the carriage as well. The next problem was… he was going to have to either sit next to Draco, or try and squeeze himself on the bench with Ron and Hermione.

Draco noticed Harry's hesitation and scoffed. "Just get in already. I don't bite. Unless you want me to." He giggled to himself at his joked and scooted as far over as he could crossing his arms and legs.

Harry felt his cheeks heat up again at the comment, sending a hopeless glance towards Ron and Hermione. He got in though, sitting as far away from the blond as he could.

The carriage started to take off but jerked quickly to a stop again as a deer ran out in front. As Draco had had his limbs crossed, he was unable to brace himself and ended up practically on top of Harry. "Oof" he huffed as he was thrown about.

Harry hadn't been expecting it, though he did his best to try and catch Draco so he wouldn't fall out of the carriage. His arms were around Draco's waist, but another blush slipped onto his cheeks at their current position. "Smooth, Malfoy." He mumbled out, though he couldn't bring himself to let go. "Are...you okay?"

Draco got his footing and pushed himself off the other. "Of course I am." he bit back. "Stupid fluffy creatures" he mumbled, as he sat back down and smoothed out his robes.

"Sorry I asked." Harry replied, already missing the feeling of Draco in his arms. "You must be quite the pleasure in the Slytherin house." He added, crossing his own arms as well.

"I am quite a hoot thank you very much. You don't know anything about what I get up to in my spare time." Draco retorted quickly, wincing slightly afterwards as he realized how weird that sounded. Oh well, he shrugged to himself, no taking it back now.

"First of all, did you literally just say hoot? And second of all, I really don't want to know what you get up to." Harry shot back at him, rolling his eyes.

"I swear those two argue like a married couple." Ron mumbled at the wrong time. He had said it loud enough for the other two to hear, when it had only been meant for Hermione's ears.

Draco froze, glazing over what Potter said, he turned to Ron and spat, "Why does everyone assume I'm in some kind of relationship with this dim-witted git!? Being gay is disgusting and a disgrace let alone being so with Potter!" Draco growled and brushed his fingers through his hair as he hunched over in his spot and tried to ignore the other 3 people in the cart.

Harry frowned at the sudden outburst, glancing at Ron and Hermione again. He figured, as much as he was hesitant to, he should speak up. "There's nothing wrong with being gay, Malfoy." He said, his voice coming out soft and almost...comforting. "There are a lot of gay people in the Muggle world." He added on.

Draco looked to Harry, his brows drawn together. "Muggles don't know anything. It's wrong. The whole point is to reproduce!"

"No it's not!" Harry snapped back at him. "The whole point is to be happy, and fall in love. It shouldn't matter what someone has in their pants. It should be about personality, trust, and loyalty."

Draco just kind of sat there for a moment staring at Harry, thinking. Did… Did he really think that way? Was it really that normal? He shuddered at the thought. It's a disgrace. He just wanted this conversation to be over so he grumbled, "Whatever Potter.", as they pulled up to the gates at Hogwarts.

Harry clenched his jaw at the clear disgust that was still on Malfoy's face. He waited until the carriage stopped before he was the first one to quickly get off and grab his stuff. "I guess you have another problem with me then." He spat out, before he headed inside and away from Draco. He could feel the tears coming.

Draco sat still in confusion until the meaning of Harry's words sunk in. His eyes became comically large as the light bulb went off in his head. Harry way gay!? Unsure how Draco felt about this entire journey to school and everything that had happened so far, he moved off the carriage and grabbed his stuff in a zombie like state. He couldn't stop thinking about everything and running over every little detail. His face stayed scrunched the entire walk.
