Authors Notes: So I got a review or two that said I should continue this and I already had this partially written 'Last Friday' bit, (mostly so I sort of got to see things from "last Friday" veiw so that when I described the rumors, I could change or mold it to sort of sound like a rumor should.) So I figured why not add in some details of the next chapter, (Which I'll post within the week. Promise.) And keep the original look of 'last Friday' in Harry/Rory view. I hope you like it! :)
Disclaim: If I owned Harry Sodding Potter, I'd be Merlin's left ear lobe…or Rowling…or both. I mean, it is magic we are talking about!

Chapter 2: Except the kisses, those were just brilliant.
So what if Draco Malfoy was proudly wearing the giant green monster of jealousy?
He looked good in green.
Harry Potter was fed up with Ron Weasley.
Harry Potter was annoyed with Hermione Granger.
Harry Potter was angry with the boys of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
And Harry Potter was more afraid of than he angry with the girls of Hogwarts.
But most of all, Harry Potter was furious, hurt, betrayed, and thankful towards his new boyfriend, Rory Tyler.
Well, before we get carried away with why Harry Potter is feeling so upset with so many people at one time, let's start with five days ago when Rory Tyler had come up to him in the library, told him he fancied him, then grabbed him by the collar and half yanked Harry up while he bent down until their lips met in an awkward angle.
Harry didn't mind that he had been about to say "Sorry, but I'm straight."
Harry didn't mind that he was now only about an inch about his chair in a not quite sitting, or standing and that Rory Tyler, a 7th year Ravenclaw who was at least a head taller than Harry, had one of his arms around Harry's waist to keep him from falling back. Harry didn't even mind that this kiss was an awkward clash of teeth, and noses, and that he was in a rather uncomfortable position.
Because Harry Potter had finally understood why his kisses with girls had never been anything special or amazing, but this, this was brilliant! Before Harry knew what was happening, or even had time to comprehend what he was doing, he was kissing back, and, he liked it. He liked it a whole lot.
He liked it so much that he forgot Hermione and Ron were sitting mere feet from him and looking shell-shocked. Much to Harry's displeasure, Madame Prince's sharp tone had broken the two boys apart and grabbing their shirt collars, she practically threw them out the doors as she ranted about such behavior not being tolerated in her library.
Once outside, Rory, flushed and slightly winded from the impressively short snog session, had asked Harry if he would like to go on a date with him sometime. Harry, flushed and breathing a little deeply himself, was far too busy staring at the other boys' lips and wanting nothing more than to continue that kiss, to be paying any attention for the words coming out of them. Needless to say, Harry pulled Rory into a small alcove near the library and received no complaints as he continued their kiss. After that, it seemed that Rory needed no other explanations. Clearly, Harry would not mind going on any dates any time in the near future. Of course, he made the mistake of not asking Harry again after their heated kissing and the next day, all of the Ravenclaw's had spread the word that Harry Potter was, in fact, dating Rory Tyler.
Harry spent much of that day being upset that Rory would tell his friends they were dating when all they had done was kiss once—er, twice—well, three-four-ish times-OK, They had made out for well over half an hour, but! Rory hadn't asked Harry if he wanted to become a couple and that had upset him. After a lot of arguing by the lake before dinner, Rory finally discovered why Harry had been so cross with him all day and a good apology, a few kisses, and a long, lingering hug later, the newest, (now official) Hogwarts couple had entered the Great Hall. Holding hands and smiling the goofy smile of new and giddy love, the couple walked to the Gryffindor table where Harry managed to convince the Ravenclaw to join him at least until Dessert. (Which, much to the disbelief of Ron, and a few Ravenclaw's that seemed be close friends with the older boy, and Draco Malfoy; Rory had stayed for dessert, too.)
Breakfast, Harry had spent at the Ravenclaw table. Getting to know all of Rory's friends and getting fed bits of toast by his boyfriend. At least, until a snort of laughter and a few insult sent their way by a very grumpy, (*cough* jealous *cough*), Draco Malfoy, Rory gave up on the sickly sweet lovey-dovey act in order to keep Harry seated so he wouldn't get into a fight and ruin their first morning of being an official couple.
Rory sat at the Gryffindor far more than Harry sat at the Ravenclaw table and there were for two reasons for this. One, Rory found it a much more enjoyable meal when he didn't have to keep a hold on Harry's arm to keep him from reacting to Draco's constant taunts. (Which Rory was grateful Malfoy only did when Potter was sitting there with him. Because, without having to make sure Harry didn't jump up and hex the stupid smirk off Malfoy's face, Rory would have done it himself in a heart beat.)
And Two, Rory quickly realized that Draco Malfoy was very jealous. It wasn't hard to figure out once he realized that Malfoy only sent those taunts and insults when Potter WAS within earshot. It was clear that Malfoy was begging for Potter's attention every chance he got and this, in turn, was beginning to make Rory very, very protective.
In between meal times, Harry and Rory always walked to Harry's classes together where they would share a kiss on the cheek before Rory left for his own class. They would spend free times together enjoying walks outside, and hanging in the common rooms and dorms, often visiting one common room around afternoon break and the other in the evenings. Ron had quickly grown a liking to Rory when he found out Rory was great at wizards' chess, love to talk about Quidditch, and didn't stop Ron from copying his homework on occasion when they were studying together and Hermione's back was turned while she looked for something in her bag. One point during a particularly rough studying period, (and much to Harry's amusement), Rory turned his completed homework around so Ron wasn't reading it upside down, while he distracted Hermione with a conversation about the lesson they shared in Ancient Runes earlier that day.
Hermione had also taken a deep liking to the boy, but she was much faster to accept him than Ron had been. True, both Harry's friends, (along with the rest of the school), and known Harry liked boys more than girls, but Ron was always stubborn about other people spending time with his best mate. Hermione enjoyed the conversations she had with the Ravenclaw and found he was intelligent, handsome, and quite completely infatuated with Harry Potter.
(Which lead to a very sad sigh and a wonder as to why all the good guys were gay.)
It seemed as though Harry Potter and Rory Tyler were a match made in heaven. So, what happened within five days time to 'cause a very grumpy Harry Potter to stare daggers at every student who dared meet his eyes? Well, if you were to ask Rory Tyler, he'd say it was all Draco Malfoy's fault.
If you were to ask Ron Weasley, he'd happily say that it was all Draco Malfoy's fault, and then ask if he should jinx him.
If you asked Hermione Granger, she'd probably tell you that this was more about jealousy and pride…but, as an after thought, she might add that it still had very much to do with Draco Malfoy and his influence. (Even if he didn't mean it to be.)
And, if you were to ask one, Draco Malfoy, he'd say that he didn't even notice anything was wrong, because Potter was always looking at him like that.
But, when we ask Harry Potter, Harry says that this is about feeling like being with Ginny all over again...except the kisses, because those were just brilliant.
But of course, he didn't know even know Malfoy was involved… not yet, at least.
Authors Notes: So, once again, this is mostly just a little more about the outlook of "Last Friday" from Harry/Rory view. And a sneak peek at "Five days later" where something has happened to the couple to make Harry grumpy. I'm still trying to decide a name for the Couple, I mean, "Hogwarts newest couple" isn't all that exciting…Harry has a ton of fun nick names and even Ron, Harry, and Hermione together as a group have "The three Gryffindorks" if you're a Slytherin and "The Golden Trio" if you're anyone else…hey! The Golden Boy and the Golden Trio…what about the Golden Couple? What do you think?
Yes?
No?
Maybe?
Tell you tomorrow?
…Anyways, reviews welcome. I promise to update chapter 3 within the week. (I should warn you though, expect a fight scene…and, I'm not very good at fight scenes, never have been, so I'm not sure if you should look forward to chapter 3 or not…hmm.)
Hope you've enjoyed the story so far and I can't wait to hear from you. ^^
