"I really hope not."
Draco looked up from his book at Pansy's sarcastic tone.
They were in the library and instead of studying like they were supposed to, Pansy decided it was time to gossip.
Draco rolled his eyes. "What's going on?"
Pansy was doing her best to hold in her laughter. Her dark eyes showed her amusement, though. "Well, according to Milly, word around Hogwarts is Gryffindork's Golden Boy has a crush on you, Slytherin's Ice Prince."
Draco's breath caught and his stomach felt like it was swirling. He thought he might be sick. "What a joke."
"I know." Pansy shook her head. "Everyone knows he's panting after the Weaslette. I guess it's someone's sick idea of a joke."
Draco forced a smirk while his mind was in turmoil. He went back to studying and it wasn't long until the other Slytherins got bored and left, especially when they saw they weren't going to get a reaction out of Draco.
Draco made sure no one was paying attention to him and left the table. He put the books back on the library shelf and went to a secret alcove. No one really knew it existed since it was so out of the way. When he got there, he saw there was someone sitting there.
"What took you so long?"
"Sorry, it way awhile before my year mates left. Did you hear about the newest rumor?"
"You mean about Gryffindork's Golden Boy and Slytherin's Ice Prince?"
Draco nodded. "Who started it?"
"Me. I was sick of hiding the fact I had a boyfriend."
Draco's breath caught. "You couldn't have warned me?"
Harry smiled. "Sorry, I thought you'd try to talk me out of it."
Draco sat down at the table and took Harry's hand. "So, how long should we wait until we show the school the rumor isn't really a rumor?"
Harry looked like he was thinking, but Draco knew Harry already had the answer. "How about we show them tonight at dinner? I would like to give my boyfriend a nice kiss in front of the whole school."
Draco grinned wickedly. "Fine by me." He leaned forward and claimed Harry's lips in a soft kiss. In a couple of hours, their relationship would no longer be secret, and that was just what Draco wanted.
