Chapter 13:

The last morning of vacation Harry felt really refreshed and relaxed. He was extremely happy that Hermione's parents had let him stay here. The last couple weeks had gone by way to quick for him. He was excited to go back to school so he could see where the information about Nott could lead, and he also wanted to find out who the hell raped him.

He was extremely anxious about having to see Draco. He had fallen for him in the very short time they were together but having been raped by someone that polyjuiced themselves to look like Draco really made him afraid to be with him. He knew if they ever tried to do anything he would only remember what had happened and would never be able to have a normal relationship with him.

He felt bad because he knew what Marcus told him about Draco caring for him was true. He felt like he was going to end up breaking Draco's heart and he really didn't want to do that. So the only way he knew to deal with it was to try and stay away from him as much as possible. He had asked Marcus to tell him he knew it was not him but he just couldn't be with him like that any longer.

He wasn't even sure if they could be friends after that either. He wanted it but also knew that he would be afraid to even be friends with him. Harry sat in Hermione's living room trying to figure out how he was going to find out who his rapist was. He had no idea how to figure out who polyjuiced him. Marcus only saw a couple clues in his memory and they were not very helpful.

The person had to have brown eyes and black hair, it could either be a male or female, since a polyjuiced person can obtain all physical characteristics of the person they are turning into. He just didn't know anyone with those two features combined that would want to do something like that to him. Than again he didn't think that Dumbledore and Sirius would turn their back on him either.

As they left the house and headed for the train station Harry looked at Marcus and Hermione. These couple weeks definitely did a good thing for their relationship. They were closer now, and new almost everything about each other. Harry really like Marcus and could see them being friends for a very long time. He couldn't understand why he never said anything to Hermione before, he seemed smarter and more level headed than his house mates.

Once they were on the train they found a compartment at the back and piled in. Hermione and Marcus snuggled on one bench while Harry sat on the other. He knew he had to talk about things with them before they got to the school but wasn't really sure how to go about it.

"Well I was just thinking, do any of us know any one at school with brown eyes and black hair that would want to hurt me like that? I know of no one that I know personally." He looked at Hermione who just shrugged and then at Marcus who's eyes suddenly lit like light bulbs.

"What is it Marcus?" Harry asked a little concerned.

"I know of one person. I will fucking kill him. I can't believe he would go do this, probably because he knew he wasn't going to win the bet, but why become Draco and rape you?" Marcus was talking and forgot he was with people for a second.

"Who the hell are you talking about Marcus?" Harry demanded.

"Oh sorry. Adrian." Marcus replied

"Pucey?" Asked Harry

"Yeah he was the other person in on the bet, he was given a Huffle Puff boy, but the boy told him to leave him along he was taken and Adrian got pissed when he saw how happy Draco and I were."

"But why would he want to rape me? I don't even know the guy." Harry said

"I have no clue but I will find out if it was him and why the hell he did it before I kill him." Hermione grabbed a hold of Marcus's arm and pulled on him.

"You will do no such thing. Once you confront him we will find someone we can trust to tell and show them your memory of the questioning. Right now we need to be smart about this so none of us get taken away for doing something stupid." Hermione said trying to calm him down. Marcus leaned over and kissed, making Harry frown. He really wanted that type of relationship with someone.

When the train came a stop the three friends piled off the train with trunks in hand. Harry dropped something from his pocket and stopped to pick it up, this caused him to fall behind and when he looked ahead he couldn't see Marcus or Hermione any where. He decided to grab a carriage and meet up with them at the school.

He climbed into the last carriage and didn't pay attention who was sitting in it until it started moving. He cursed himself when he saw the three sitting there. It felt like déjà vu as he sat down next to Theo, with Draco and Adrian in front of him. The only difference was instead of Adrian last time it was Marcus sitting there. He stayed staring out the window not wanting to talk to Draco, but really wanted to say something to Theo.

"Wow Draco looks like you can't stay away from your ex's can you, two in one shot here." Adrian joked as he laughed.

"Just shut it Pucey alright." was all Draco said. Harry glanced at him sideways with out Draco seeing and was shocked at how tired he looked. Then he looked at Adrian and fear shot though him fast, he saw Draco's face on Adrian's body and they were both laughing at him. He started to hyperventilate and banged his head on the cold window.

He felt a gentle hand on his back and jumped slightly causing the person to move it fast. He felt bad because he knew it was Theo and he wanted nothing more than to let him touch him, but right now was not a good time. The carriage came to a stop and Harry waited until the others piled out. He slowly climbed out and was pulled to the side by Draco.

"Can we talk please?" Draco asked begging him with his eyes.

"Not right now. I can't face you right now I'm sorry." He started walking away but Draco lightly grabbed his arm again.

"I didn't do it Harry, didn't Marcus talk to you?"

"Yes he did. We figured out it wasn't you, but I still can't do this with you right now please let me go." Draco let go hesitantly and just stood there while Harry walked towards the school. Theo was walking slowly in front waiting to see if Harry was alright. When Harry caught up to him he started walking next to him.

"Hey Harry."

"Hey Theo, um do you think we could talk?" Harry asked. He wasn't even sure how this was going to go but he needed to know how Theo felt about him. He wasn't expecting to talk to him so soon but he decided to get it over with now, while they were alone.

"Yeah sure, what's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong. I just have a question. I heard from someone that you have liked me since first year, before you even knew who I was. Is that true?" Harry decided to come right out with it.

Theo stood there in shock, he didn't know how to respond. He looked behind him and saw Draco still standing down by the carriages , looking like someone kicked him in his junk. Looking back at Harry he saw hope in his eyes and felt a tightening in his crotch.

"Yeah it's true." Theo said looking him right in the eyes. Harry stepped a little closer to Theo before he spoke again.

"Why didn't you ever say anything?"

"I didn't think you would go for a snake." Harry stepped closer, their feet were touching toe to toe and Harry could feel Theo's breath on his face. Theo's crotch tighten even more at being this close to Harry.

"Do you still feel the same about me after everything you have probably seen and heard this year?"

"I don't believe everything I hear unless it comes from the person themselves. I have only seen things this year that has made me like you even more." Theo couldn't believe he was telling him all this after holding it in for so long. Harry got a smile on his face and leaned in even more. He brought a hand up and wrapped his fingers in Theo's hair, feeling how soft it was, before he pulled his face to his own. Their lips met and everything else seemed to go away.

Harry loved how soft Theo's lips felt on his own and he ran his tongue along his lower on asking for entrance. Theo granted it to him and they battled their tongue's together for dominance. Harry's other hand dropped his trunk and wrapped around Theo's waist pulling him in closer. Theo had both his hands hold Harry's face, praying this was real. Both boys separated when air became an issue and rested their forehead on each other.

"Wow, I have always imagined doing that with you but this was way better." Theo admitted

"I know the feeling. You have been in my thoughts lately this last year." Theo pulled away looking at him confused.

"What? But you dated Draco?" Theo said placing his hands on Harry's hips, not wanting to let him go.

"I know. I wanted you so bad, it just seemed like you were not interested. Ever since you helped me on the train I've wanted you, but you really didn't say anything to me since the carriages at the beginning of the year, I just thought you didn't like me or guys like that."

"Oh silly silly Harry, as you already know I have liked you for seven years."

"I know that now. When Draco came to me and said he liked me I thought why not give him a chance since I couldn't have what I really wanted. You dated him too you know."

"Yeah for the same reason as you. Speaking of Draco, I don't want to be in a secret relationship ever again." Theo stepped away from Harry once he heard other students start to walk towards them, thinking Harry didn't want anyone to do.

"So are we in a relationship Theo. Are you my boyfriend?"

"I would like that." Theo said as he looked at the people walking by "But like I said" He was cut off by Harry pulling Theo to him and kissing him. He heard gasps from people walking by and some giggling from the girls. Harry pulled away and looked at Theo.

"You were saying?" He smiled

"Nothing, nothing at all. Your sure about this, people knowing we are together." Theo said

"I wouldn't have just done that in front of people if I was not sure. I want to see where this goes Theo, but I don't want to hide it either."

"Alright, let's get up to the school then shall we."

"We do have to talk later, I do have some things I want to talk to you about, about my past and resent things you may have heard. I just want you to listen to me first before you say anything, then you can decide if you wish to stay with me."

"That's fine with me." Theo grabbed Harry's hand as they walked up towards the castle.

Draco was standing down at the carriages, he looked up just in time to see Harry pull Theo to him, kissing him. Draco felt his legs go weak under him and he fell on his knees to the ground. It felt like his heart had been ripped out of his chest. He couldn't understand why seeing Harry kiss someone else hurt so much. He had only liked Harry for a short time but he knew they so much in common.

All the heated arguments that they had had over the years played in his mind and he knew he liked Harry longer than he led himself to believe. When he had told Theo he liked Harry back when Theo came out it was all true. He just thought he was lying. He knew there was a thin line between love and hate and now it felt like he was loosing the one person he could probably ever really come to love.

He knew Theo had liked him for longer than himself but he couldn't understand why. Theo never really knew Harry, but now he was going to get to know him since it looked like they were now together. Harry knows Draco cares for him, so why is he doing this. Draco just couldn't understand. He wasn't the one who raped him and Harry told him he knew that, but somehow Harry couldn't bring himself to even look at Draco.

Hermione and Marcus had missed the carriages looking for Harry and were now walking up the walk where Draco was. Marcus looked at Hermione and then over at Draco with a worried expression on his face. They walked over and Marcus placed a hand on Draco's shoulder.

"You alright mate?" He asked. Draco looked up and saw Marcus standing there. He slowly stood and felt tears sliding down his face.

"No, no I'm not. Harry wouldn't even look at me when I tried talking to him. Said he knew I didn't rape him, but then he said he couldn't be with me. Then he turns right around and kisses Theo, like he forgot I was still down here, and could see them. It feels like he ripped my heart out and stomped on it Marcus." Hermione had her mouth hanging open in shock, she had never heard Draco talk like that about anything let alone anyone.

"Oh Malfoy. I'm so sorry." She tried to say. He looked at her and his face got cold.

"No don't tell me your sorry. You probably never wanted us back together. You probably forced him to go to Theo. God everyone loves Theo. You know that Marcus. Blaise, Adrian, Harry, even I used to. He's fucking perfect, how the hell can I compete with that." He spat out. Marcus didn't know what to say, he just stood there and watched his friend turn around and leave.

"We have a problem Hermione." He said grabbing her hand.

"What problem do we have. I know Draco is upset but Harry is with Theo now. We can't change or interfere with that. He needs to be happy for a little while."

"Yeah but Draco loves him Hermione. I think Theo is just smitten with him. He has wanted him for so long I don't know if he will want to keep him now that he has him." Marcus said.

"It is his choice to make. If they do not last then they do not last. How do you know Draco loves him?" Hermione asked.

"For starters, when ever he was with anyone before he always had Pansy, she floo called me this morning before we left and told me Draco broke it off with her, said he was in love with someone else and was never in love with her. Then Draco acting like he just was, he looked like he was going to die after seeing Harry kissing Theo."

"Well we will have to wait and see what happens. Harry is my best friend and I will be there for him no matter what choices he makes. I hope you will be too." Hermione said and kissed him before they started to walk up to the school.
