Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Two weeks had passed since Harry had agreed to keep their relationship secret until Draco had told Blaise. Draco and Harry still didn't know that Hermione, Pansy and Ginny knew that they were together, Ron and Blaise still had no idea, they just thought that Harry and Draco were becoming friends, the other students in the school saw this too, they were fighting less and were together more. At that moment Harry was sitting at the table for lunch with Ginny, Ron was in the library finishing his work for the next lesion, Hermione was helping him. Harry was looking over at Draco between his mouthful's of food, at one point he caught his eyes and started to blush, Ginny huffed impatiently when she saw him Harry was more unresponsive during this time than ever.
"What?" Harry asked looking at her.
"Harry I know." Ginny said leaning in and lowering her voice so only they could hear.
Harry was confused at this, what did she know? "Err...sorry, I don't know what you mean. What do you know?"
"Stop being so dim Harry! I know about you and Draco."
Harry suddenly went stiff and looked round, he could not believe that she had just said that in public, what if someone had heard! "Ginny! "
"Don't worry no one is listening to us." She said waving it off.
Harry looked around just to check, it seemed that Ginny was right so he turned back. "How did you know?"
"Oh Harry it was rather obvious, when he saw me and you messing around the look on his face, and when you went after him that just gave it all away. You have also been spending a lot more time with him and you're not arguing as much. Why didn't you tell us?"
"I would have liked to Gin but Draco wants to tell Blaise about it before we well...come out I guess."
"So it's Draco that's keeping it a secret?" Ginny was starting to see it now, Harry had looked a little put out every time Draco was mean to him, she understood his reasons but to keep it for over two weeks! That must be killing Harry.
"I guess..." Harry looked over at Draco, he wondered for the first time what was taking him so long at telling Blaise, they spent plenty of time together so it wasn't that he hadn't had the chance. "I think he's just worried about how Blaise would react, and I think I'm a bit worried about how Hermione and Ron will react."
"Well you don't have to worry about Hermione, she already knows about you two." Ginny said picking at some more of her breakfast.
"What!" Harry said rather loudly, some people nearby looked over but after a few moments they went back to what they were doing. Lowering his voice he continued, "Did you tell her?"
"No, and yes."
"What do you mean no and yes?"
"Something came up and I had to explain that you liked Draco, and then Hermione, Pansy and me worked out that you and Draco were dating." Ginny was trying to gloss over the meeting with Dumbledore and the spell she did to get them together in the first place.
"Pansy knows? Did Draco tell her?"
"No, it was us that worked it out, she's tried to talk to him about it but he hasn't mentioned anything about you and him going out."
"Oh right..." Harry looked slightly sad, however he didn't have much time to ponder on this new development as the bell went and he had to hurry off to his next lesion Defence Against the Dark Arts. "I'll see you later ok, bye Gin." Harry kissed her goodbye on the cheek and ran off.
Ginny laughed as Harry tripped over in his hurry to get to his lesion. 'He likes DADA too much one day it's going to hurt him, in fact it has.' She had a free after lunch so she took her time eating the rest of her lunch then she wandered up to the library she had some time and no work to do so she decided to look over that spell that she had preformed, thinking over the weeks since it had started she found that she didn't know how many songs had been sung or if they had stopped. Once she had found the book she took it to a table nearby and looked up the spell. After a few minutes of reading she found what she was looking for.
"Here goes." She pulled out her wand and waved it saying the words, "Album ex carmen sung." A sheet of parchment appeared in front of her it had a list of the times, date and the names of those who had sung the song, she didn't know the lyrics or reasons why the song was sun but it did give her an insight into how the spell had been working. There seemed to have been no songs since two weeks ago, 'maybe it has finished then, that was quick I didn't expect it to go this fast, I better tell the others about this'. Ginny put the book back and went to Gryffindor and spent the rest of her free with her friends.
Draco was struggling with his emotions, he was sitting in DADA and was looking over at Harry who was in the front row with Hermione and Ron. Draco was sitting two rows behind with Blaise, he was torn between wanting to tell him about Harry and keeping the relationship a secret, Draco didn't know what part of him wanted to keep it a secret, or why, he guessed that it was about him telling Blaise, but he knew that it was just a part of him that didn't want Blaise, there was more to it. Shaking his head Draco rid himself of those thoughts for the time being, he would think about them later.
The class passed by it was mainly theory during the lesions for the time being as the spells they were learning were highly dangerous and could put everyone of them in St. Mungo's if preformed incorrectly. Harry was also finding it hard to keep his mind from Draco, he felt something poke at his hand, Harry looked down it was a slip of folded parchment, he smiled, this was obviously from Draco, they had taken to sending notes in class when they couldn't sit next to one another. Harry opened the note.
Mr. Potter, I am very upset to have seen you kiss that ginger girl goodbye this morning, where was mine??
Harry smiled, erasing the message with his wand he wrote back.
Mr. Malfoy, how dare you accuse me for meddling with young girls, you know they aren't of my taste. And as for your goodbye kiss, I'm not about to say goodbye.
Mr. Potter, I wasn't trying to accuse you of anything, I was merely stating that you missed our earlier appointment before this lesion, I was waiting for you to leave before the bell, but you never did. Were you distracted?
Mr. Malfoy, the only distraction I had was from you, then I was brought into a conversation and lost track of time. I was hoping to make it up to you later.
Mr. Potter, I think I can allow that.
Their conversation continued in such as way for the rest of the lesion, Hermione noted that something was going on as Harry was randomly blushing slightly. She was just about to ask the reason for his blushing when the bell rang everyone stood up and packed away their things and started for the door. Hermione was one of the last to leave as they were the furthest away from the door, she saw Pansy and Ginny standing next to one another, apparently the boys had already left, Pansy beckoned her over, together they walked down the corridor and reached a deserted class room which they entered, taking seats on the desks both Hermione and Pansy looked at Ginny waiting.
"I went to the library earlier and looked up the spell again." Ginny started, the others just stared at her confused. "I went to see if there was any way of tracking it, like the songs being sung, there was this spell that listed all the songs sung and when, it seems that there hasn't been any for the last two weeks." She handed over the piece of parchment that the list was on to the others and waited to hear what they thought.
"It seems so...but how could this have worked so fast, we know that are together in a sense, but..." Pansy trailed off in thought.
"What? You think that they are only truly together if everyone knows too?" Ginny asked.
"Yer, I do."
"So what's stopping them?" Hermione asked. "They are together, why don't they just make it public instead of them pretending to just be friends?"
"That's what I wanted to know, so I asked Harry, he said that Draco was the one wanting to keep it a secret."
"So Harry knows we know?" Pansy asked.
"And Draco's the one trying to keep it a secret?" Hermione asked.
"That sounds like Draco alright." The others looked at Pansy, a bit shocked she had said something like that about Draco. "What? I love Draco to pieces, but one thing that I will say about him is that he's not that big on taking the advice of others. I'm guessing he's taking his time at telling Blaise?" Ginny nodded. "Though so, I've been telling Draco for years to tell him the truth of his feelings, he thinks that Blaise will turn against him."
"Why would he do that?" Hermione asked.
Ginny answered for her. "Pure blood families have this thing about heirs; you kinda have to have one. Marriages used to be arrange, but though that is very rare now you are expected to get married and have children, and so on."
"I still don't get what that has to do with Blaise." Hermione said becoming slightly annoyed that she didn't get it.
"Well..." Pansy took over. "Blaise also comes from a pure family blood line, well we think...we aren't really too sure who his father is as his mum cheated a lot, anyway...because of the whole pure blood ideals about marriage and children many families are against same sex couples being together, and Draco thinks Blaise is against it, though he hasn't said anything either way so I guess he's not bothered."
Hermione looked at her for a moment and said. "So what you guys are suggesting is that Draco has to tell Blaise or something is going to go wrong between Harry and Draco?"
"Yes, exactly." Pansy said.
"I think something is already going wrong..." Ginny said. "When I was talking to harry earlier he seemed rather bothered that Draco wasn't telling Blaise, he was rather upset and confused about it all."
"Oh, that means we have to do something fast or maybe their happy ever after won't come true." Hermione said.
"Yer..." Both Ginny and Pansy looked at each other and started to laugh.
"What?" Asked Hermione.
"Happy ever after? Hermione we're not in a fairy tale." Ginny said still laughing. (A/N: Ginny and Pansy do know the muggle fairy tales as they were created by wizards, where else would the muggles get the wonderful ideas of fairy godmothers?)
"The singing makes it like one," Hermione said lamely, and joined in the laughter. They walked out of the classroom and off to Dinner together.
A/N: Thanks for reading, Once again any mistakes please point them out!!! I think I'm spelling Blaise wrong…
