Chapter 7: What's mine, What's yours…

I didn't know what to do, I was hit hard by the sudden realization that Harry had never loved me at all; he was kissing the redhead for crying out loud, just a few good minutes after I left him!! He had gasped right then and then he followed after me.. he is right now...Even as my mind is working in shambles I head out the castle, the shadows falling on me as tears came down my cheeks. I hated to cry, it was a pathetic excuse for being weak, but now under these circumstances... I couldn't see where I was going and I cursed myself for having been so easily manipulated. Harry gave me pleasure alright, never love and as far as love is concerned, pleasure's a good line away a different thing. But I knew I was hoping for nothing, it was all one night... It was all so fast... I couldn't much recall what has happened, the memories fall unclear into my mind and Harry... all I'm capable of thinking right then was him..... Harry and how he had kissed the redhead. I was mad as hell yet, sad as death...

"Draco..." He was whispering and I wondered how he got on my tail so swiftly. I looked away and stopped in my tracks, knowing he owes me an explanation. His voice sounded almost heartbreaking and I wanted to fall on my knees and forget everything... but just then, my fists clenched and unclenched.. I heard him, a few good meters away.... chuckling? "Want to join us? I enjoyed tonight with you... Maybe you can demonstrate to Ron the right way to woo men into your bed... " I wheeled around to give him a piece of my mind and a punch or two but he had caught my arm and violently captured my lips into his. He nibbled on my lip that it almost bled, I winced as he wound his arms around my waist firmly and strongly. The muggle-loving Potter I knew was not like this.. well, atleast who I thought I knew... now I'm not so sure anymore... His tongue was hot and held a taste of something I couldn't quite decipher... It was intoxicating and I found it hard to breath properly as he pinned me to the wall. The funny thing was, I was as passive as glass though how much it was hurting me... And then it hit me. He was drunk as hell. I didn't know whether to be happy about it or angry at all, as far as I'm concerned you're not just allowed to drink beer in Hogwarts grounds , and Harry had been the least person I thought would do such a thing... I gently pushed him away and he looked into me, and then I saw his green eyes sparkle just like it did when we first kissed.. I had the slightest sense of deja vu... He sighed and if I heard correct, gave out a small sob. "Sorry.. Please... Iloveyou..." His words slurred, he caresses my cheek. I shut my eyes, savor the moment... Then Harry fell with a thud on the floor..

Ron stared at the doorway in which Harry had left to go after Draco Malfoy… He slammed a fist against the bed and flopped back into the covers. The moment was so surreal, and it had happened really, not just in his dream but in reality as well… But that damn Malfoy had to ruin things for him, didn't he? Ron shut his eyes in attempt to fight back tears of rage. His breath came raggedly and he was cursing everyone to his owl.

"Ron?"

He snapped open his eyes. In the dark was Hermione.

"What are you doing here?" He was rather annoyed than pleased.

"I came to tell you I got Malfoy off your back."

He gave her a strange look. "Could you elaborate on that?"

She sighed and the moon reflected surrender in her eyes. She paused for a moment and then said, "I wrote a letter to Lucius Malfoy and told him about his son and Harry's…" she faltered, not knowing what to say at all… "—conditions…"

"Thank you." Ron didn't know what to say, in truth. "For making Harry come to me…"
