A/N: An update! Lol, and I'm glad to say that I had 22 reviews last chapter…a record for the series (I know, pretty pathetic. Ah well.) Thank you!!! Oh, & thanks to GrlWithouhtAName.

Disclaimer:-smiles sweetly- I would like to declare that I don't own it! –frowns- wait a minute. To my dismay, I have inform you that I do not own.


This was pathetic.

Why couldn't people just ignore him? Couldn't they see that he wanted to be alone?

"You look really pale, Harry," commented Seamus, "Are you sure you're feeling better?"

"Yes!" he hissed darkly.

"Alright. You missed this guy, he was called Leonard. He was quite a guy, girls falling left and right. Even Ginny wanted him."

"Oh."

"That's true… he was special. You know, I've come to realize that you used to be a crush, now you're only my brother," Ginny said, looking up at him, "and I do love you, you know? It's just…in a different way."

Harry smiled at that. "ONLY your brother? Being that means a lot to me, you know."

The rest of the day was spent updating Harry on what he had missed out…which was nothing at all, really. Too bad they didn't know that.


"Harry!"

"Hermione,"he managed, faking a smile.

"So did you find out who your admirer was? I remember that you really wanted to know about her…"

"Don't ever talk to me about it again," he snared.

"I surmise things did not go well, then. If you ever need to…come to me."

"I will."


"Potter."

"Malfoy. What do you want?" He asked, venom present in his eyes.

"I have a question for you."

"Oh…Well, I'm not answering it."

"Just this. You won't happen to have anything to do with this…thing…do you?" asked Malfoy, holding on to a piece of paper as if it was poisoned.

"I haven't sent you anything, so I doubt it."

Dropping the letter, Malfoy walked away, but not before casting a backward glance, "Don't forget, Harry. Nothing is as it seems." He whispered. Harry caught that, and yet did not understand what Malfoy meant.

He picked up the letter and opened it.


Friend,

I cannot lie to myself, I cannot love someone of the same gender. What would my friends think? Furthermore, you're Slytherin, and a death eater at that, I am the boy who lived.

Please do not bother me anymore.

At the bottom, printed with the handwriting so familiar to him by now, were six words: I knew you didn't write this.


Harry saw a sheet of paper beside it. Softly, he whispered the spell.(1)

The images fluttered around and swam in and out of focus, before clearing up into one single image. It was somewhat like a big-screen television, he mused, as he sat in front of the 'screen.'


" So it was Blaise,"He told himself, "but how can I believe that Malfoy is innocent this time?"

"You can't. You have to choose whether to trust me or not. Harry, you saw what I wrote. It is the sappiest thing…the sappiest things that I have ever written, and unfortunately it was all true. Do you believe I'd go to so much trouble just to take you down?" Malfoy had returned. His feelings were confusng him greatly.

"You would," he replied. To contradict Malfoy-that was a reflex action.

Regretting it, he continued, "Just let me think about this."

"Take all the time you need," replied Malfoy, a soft hope creeping into his voice.


Dear Harry,

I should leave you alone, I know I should…but…

Let me answer one of your questions. You asked me what was my one desire. If that had been two years back, I would say that it was to get rid of you…but now… it's different.

I would write about it, except nothing I could ever write would do it justice. However, attached behind is a picture which will do that wish more justice than any words could…not that it captures enough.


Rolling out the piece of paper, Harry was startled to find it to be of himself and Malfoy locked in a passionate kiss. They both seemed enjoy it tremendously.

"Draco…"he whispered.

It seemed less and less of a trick.

And if it was, he would be truly heartbroken this time.

"I will...think about it...that's my promise,"he whispered to the darkness.


(1) I can't remember what charm is used to contain memories in a mirror, so this spell focuses on thing that the person touched at that point in time. Later, when the correct spell is said, what the person thought at the time can be captured again.

A/N: What do you think, hmm?
