Secret Love Can Kill
Thank you for all my new reviews. I love them. Remember, the faster I get reviews, the faster a new chapter comes. I'm going to be nice, and upload this chapter. All secrets are spilled now. (except for who Pansy starts to go out with). I do not own this book but I do own horcruxes. Seven actuall- I mean, um, cough cough. I don't own horcruxes. Why would you think that? Ummm... Just start reading!
Oh, and a shout out, to my favourite author for fan-fiction out there Marksmom. A great writer, and was the first ever to review. And if not for that, I probably would have scrapped this by now. So thank Marksmom by checking out the page if you love this story, and get on!
Ron POV:
Okay. Here goes. I'm going to ask her out. To the dance. Alright. Right now. I mean now. I mean-
"Hey Ron." She said, looking up at me.
"Hey." I said. Okay, now I have to say it. "Will-you-go-to-the-dance-with-me?" I said it all in one breath, sitting down awkwardly next to her.
"Of course. I was waiting for to ask me all week." She said dreamily, putting her textbook away.
"Really?" I asked her. She nodded at me. She looked me in the eyes, and I had to take a deep breath. Her eyes were a beautiful bright blue.
"Well, would you like to go on a date first? Like tomorrow after lunch, free period?" I didn't just want to show up with her at the dance, and have that as, like, a first date.
Sadly, she shook her head. "Can't. You have somewhere else to be Ron. But I can see you the day after."
I was confused. I had somewhere else to be?
"I'm not doing anything. Why would you say that?"
She stood up with her bag. "Because you are silly, you just don't know it yet. And it will be very important to you, so I will just have to say no, for you." She smiled her perfect smile, blonde hair falling in front of her eyes.
I nodded. I don't know how I kept forgetting that odd thing about her. She somehow knew what would happen. I think she was like, a, seer or something.
"Now I have to go, I'm tutoring a third year about Charms." I just nodded like an idiot.
"'Kay."
She walked past me with that fun, yet cool calm aura of hers. I grabbed her elbow. "But I'll see you in two days free period, right?"
She nodded. "Of course."
And with that, I watched Luna Lovegood walk out of the library.
Blaise POV:
I can't do it anymore. I just can't.
I was in the Slytherin rooms, (thankfully we each had our own rooms this year) and I was pacing the cold floor. I was thinking about Hermione. I wanted to keep seeing her for the lessons, but I couldn't do it. If I was to be with her, I had to be her boyfriend. And Salazar knows that won't happen.
I was thinking about asking her to the dance. But I'm worried that she'll say no. That she'll laugh in my face. That she'll go around and tell everyone, and then I would be in some deep shit. This would be so much easier if she were in Slytherin! If I were to ask a Slytherin out, then she would say yes or no. She wouldn't tell anyone else unless I asked. The same if a girl asked me. I would tell no one. Only say yes or no.
And then of course there was a problem if she told everyone. All the Slytherins would be out to beat me. My parents would probably disown me- not that I really cared- but still.
And the Gryffindores would mock me as well. Mostly because she's one of the golden trio, and a muggle born.
Yes I said muggle born. Not mudblood. Honestly, I think it's rather stupid. By saying mud-blood, you're suggesting that their blood is dirtier than ours. But because we try to stay 'pure blooded' we end up marrying distant cousins. All pure blood families are related in some way shape or form.
So really, our blood is 'dirty' because we marry into our own family.
Anyway, back to worrying.
I hadn't realised, that instead of just pacing, my feet were taking me to the library. Where I knew Hermione would be. I tried to stop myself, to turnaround. But it was too late she had already spotted me.
She seemed kind of... Happy to see me. That made me surprised, not that I showed it on my face. No one had ever been happy to see me except for Pansy (after we had the fight of me wanting to ask her out, and finding that she's a lesbian and what not, which we totally made up for), and Draco.
I automatically moved to sit down, and she looked happy, yes, but also confused. She didn't know why I was there, and that was jut as well.
Time to make up an excuse and leave.
"What?" She asked me puzzled. My brows knitted together.
"What?" I said back, unsure of what was happening.
"That's what I said. You were muttering something about the dance, and I don't think I heard you properly."
"Yeah, um. I don't think we should continue our studying lessons. They're great and I learnt a lot, but it won't end very well. Trust me. "
her face fell. The light in her eyes left. "What do you mean?"
I sighed. "I'm quitting the tutoring."
"Oh." She looked completely crestfallen. "Why?"
"Because I have to."
"Oh."
I almost wanted to tell her the real reason. Because she would laugh at the real reason. Laugh at me. Maybe not believe it. Believe that I'm quickly falling in love for her.
That I want to ask her to the dance.
"Wait. You want to ask me to the dance?" She asked, and their was something in her eyes. I hadn't seen it before. Hope maybe?
Crap. Crap. Crap.
Okay. Deep breath. Play it smooth. Smooth. "Only if you'll say yes." Well, not bad. Could have been better. But I was about to start hyperventilating, so I thought it was good.
"Then you better be asking me to the dance. Because I'm prepared to say yes."
I don't know who started it. I don't know why I did it. I just instantly found us kissing, her soft lips against mine. Moving together perfectly, like they were made for each other.
Eventually we had to stop and break for air. We both fell back in to our seats, panting slightly.
"Are you having the same freaky dream I am?" She asked.
"If you mean the one where I kiss the girl I wanted to ask out since third year, then yes. Yes I am." I said standing up and sitting down next to her.
"I don't care if this is a dream. I'm going to make the best of it." She said, slightly like a smart-alec. And she pulled me down for another kiss.
I couldn't stop smiling.
To bad the bell had to ring then, signalling that we had to go to our next class.
"I'll see you tomorrow." I said standing up, giving her one last kiss.
"Yes you will." She said walking away.
I didn't stop smiling all day.
The Next Day In The Infirmary..
Draco POV:
Today was the day. The day we got out of the infirmary. The day we tell our friends about, well, us.
If only it could be easier. I wasn't really that worried about Pansy and Blaise. They would be easy. Pansy was like my sister, and Blaise was the best brother around.
It wasn't Granger I was worried about either. She would be shocked, for sure, but not mad, I don't think. Harry said she wasn't a homophobe. That was good.
No. It was Weasley I was worried about. He was so hot-headed, and honestly I didn't care much for him. But he was Harry's first friend, and I shall respect that.
Even if it means hanging out with him.
I had already talked to Harry about telling our friends. We would tell them at lunch. Him the golden trio, and me the silver trio. Then we would meet afterwards in the library.
"Worried?" He asked me. I just looked at him. Of course I was. Why wasn't he? He was meant to be the worried one, not me. I'm the calm Slytherin.
"Yeah, I can tell. You're easy to read. Your eyes become clouded, and your gets slightly messed up." Harry patted down some of my hair.
"Why aren't you worried? You were having nightmares!" "Because I already did my worrying. And the worst thing they can do is scream and shout. If they don't take it well, we obliviate them and come out tomorrow. I don't care. I will not lose you. But they shouldn't do that."
I rolled my eyes, and kissed him.
That's how madame Pomfrey found us. Holding hands and kissing. She seemed rather shocked.
"Ahem." We both stopped and looked her way, Harry slightly tinged with red.
"You are both free to go. And be more careful when you're on your brooms next time!" She said shooing us out of the room.
After she closed the doors behind us, I grabbed Harry's hand. "She won't tell anyone, will she? About us I mean." I said, looking at our hands.
"No she won't do that. She's kind of like a mother too me."
We neared the great hall, so I let go of his hand, wanting to whimper at the contact.
"Okay. Are you ready?" I asked quietly, in case anyone was near by.
"Yes. Time for phase one."
I walked into the hall first, head held high. I went to sit down at my house table. A little bit later, I saw Harry do the same.
"Draco!" That was Pansy, she sat down next to me. An even more ecstatic Blaise sat beside me.
"What's got you so happy?" I asked. Not sarcastically, just curiously.
They actually both said "I asked someone to the Dance." Then they looked at each other quizzically.
I asked "Cool. Anyone I know?"
Again they spoke at the same time. "She's not in Slytherin."
I nodded. "Neither is mine."
They both gasped and started going through the different possibilities. Pansy had to keep reminding Blaise that I was gay.
"Okay I have no clue."
Blaise said, taking a forkful of chicken into his mouth.
"Yeah, I don't either. But you are going to tell us right?"
I nodded. "He wants to meet today, after lunch."
Blaise looked a little confused, and sad at this news. Then he stood up. "Right. Then I have to go cancel some plans. Where should we meet?"
"The library." I said and he picked up his back and left. A little later, I saw Granger stand up and do the same. How odd.
I looked over at Harry, and winked.
Harry POV:
I watched Draco walk in. After a few minutes, I did too. I sat down in between Hermione and Ron.
Hermione was talking to Ginny, and Ron to Seamus and Dean. They both looked at me as I sat down.
"Harry!" They said at the same time. Hermione gave me a hug, and Ron clapped me on the back.
"How are you mate?"
"Good actually. I wanted to tell you that I have a date to the Dance. And he wants to-"
"You have a date? Oh my gosh! This is going to be so fun. We can all go together. Ron just told me how he finally asked out Luna, and she said yes! Okay, we'll have to get you some dress robes, and a tie, and-"
"Hermione. Give him a chance to speak. He looks like he has something to say." Ron said, putting a hand over her mouth. He slowly removed it, like he was afraid she would bite him.
He looked at me. "Go on." And he gestured with his hands for me to continue.
"Okay. So like I was saying. He wants to meet you two, so were going to meet him today, free period." As I said it, I looked up and saw Blaise leaving the hall.
"He wants to meet us?" Hermione asked.
"Of course he does, your my best friends." She nodded, and said "I have to go cancel some...tutoring plans. I'll see you in the..."
"-library." I said answering her question. She nodded again, and left.
Ron proceeded to go into some lengthy explanation of what Luna said, and how he would be busy. I looked up at Draco, and he winked. I winked back.
Hermione POV:
Ugh. I felt so bad. I would have to cancel with Blaise now. I was walking outside the hall, going to I don't know where, as I didn't know where he was. But soon I spotted him, and he ran towards me.
"Hermione." He breathed.
"Blaise." I said back.
"I can't meet up with you today. Draco just got out of the Infirmary, and I'm busy."
"Oh okay." I said. I knew I had something to do as well, but still it was sad.
He titled my chin up with a hand a lightly kissed me on the lips.
"hey it's okay. Why do you look so sad? Didn't Pott- Harry just get out as well?"
I nodded. "Yeah. And I was trying to find you to tell you I was busy too. But it's still sad. We just started dating, and I can't be with you."
"Don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow." He smiled, and I couldn't help but be happier.
"Same place, same time?" I asked.
He answered, "The same."
-APPARANTLEY-I'M-A-LINE-
Because of that, I later found myself meeting with Harry and Ron, on their way to the Library. I smiled and nodded at them, and Harry smiled back.
Ron appeared deep in thought, which scared me a little.
At the door, I thought of how much I was using the library. Not that I normally didn't use it a lot, but the reason has changed.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Blaise. Not just Blaise, but Parkinson, and Malfoy as well.
I looked at him questioningly, and he shrugged. Malfoy smiled at Harry. All of us saw that.
Suddenly everyone was shouting. I asked what this meant.
Harry said, rather quietly actually "Quiet." And immediately, we hushed down.
Draco said, looking at the floor. "We can explain this, not simply, but quickly." And I heard Ron mutter "How?"
Then they did something I never expected to see, ever in my life, and I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
Harry kissed Draco.
And then it all clicked.
That's why they saved each other. That's why were all here. But the biggest thought in my mind was, they wouldn't care about Blaise and I.
He, was apparently thinking on the same line as me, because he moved over and kissed me too. I heard Pansy and Ron snort.
Now they were staring at us.
"What?" Asked Blaise.
"You guys came out, so we figured that we might as well." Draco nodded as if he suspected it. And Harry didn't seemed fazed.
Ron and Pansy looked amused. Harry looked at them, and he smiled.
"Don't worry Ron. We don't expect you to hook up with Pansy."
Draco laughed. "Especially because she's a Les."
Ron let out a sigh of relief, and so did Pansy. I stopped watching them, and instead decided to snog Blaise some more.
Ron POV:
I looked at Parkinson again, and snorted. Good, I didn't need to hook up with her. I had Luna now.
The two of us moved away slightly from the couples, as they started kissing.
Parkinson looked at me and laughed. "I guess we should be friends now. You know, considering they'll be hard to talk to if their together."
She stuck out a hand.
I thought about it. Yeah, they would be hard to talk too. And if she was Les, I had no worry about her liking me, so I nodded. And took her hand.
"Yeah cool. Just friends though. Nothing more right?"
"Please. You guys can be idiots." She smirked. "That's why I go for the smart girls." She looked at Harry and Malfoy. "Predictable pairing, yeah? The Slytherin and Gryffindore kings. The smartest of each house, also together. And the two trio rejects friends."
Now that I thought about it, yeah kind of predictable.
"Defiantly."
The bell went, and we have to leave.
Oh, most definitively the oddest day I ever had, but probably not my last.
Does anyone else find it funny that they use the library so much for meetings?
Okay, so I lied a little bit. The last surprise will be who Pansy's going out with.
And don't even try to guess, because you won't.
What did you think of Ron+Luna?
I know I said I would pair her with Neville, but last night, she whispered to me that she wanted t be with Ron.
So she got her wish.
