Loving Alone
Disclaimer: I don't own any of this. JKR does.
A/N: This is set during their seventh year at Hogwarts. Crabbe's transferred to another wizarding school, and Goyle was killed by a rogue bludger whilst playing Quidditch in the holidays.
This is slightly Harry/Ginny, but also it's (unrequited) Draco/Harry slash. If you don't like slash, stop reading now. Don't carry on reading & then flame me. Thanks, dramaqueen.
(Oh, and thanks to all of my reviewers!)
Chapter 5
As he got closer and closer to the Great Hall, the feeling of terror grew stronger and stronger.
If the owl that Draco had given the letter to had delivered it the previous night, Harry would have already read it. Alternatively, if the owl had waited until that morning, Harry would be getting the letter right there in front of everyone. Draco didn't know which of those two options he would prefer. All he did know was that, one way or another, his relationship with Harry was about to change forever.
The Slytherin table was almost full by the time he sat down, making sure he had a direct view of Harry.
As he watched the way Harry was acting with Ginny, Ron, and Hermione, he became certain that the owl was yet to deliver the letter.
It was just as Draco was positive that Harry was still oblivious to his feelings when the Great Hall filled with owls.
Barely able to take his eyes off of the object of his affections, Draco froze as he saw a small envelope fall into his lap.
Absent-mindedly prodding at a piece of toast, Draco watched as Harry opened the letter and began to read.
Quickly looking away as Harry purposefully looked in his direction, he really did wonder what had ever possessed him to write the stupid thing. But, just as he had written the night before, he already knew the answer. And it was slowly getting up and leaving the room.
Making sure no-one was looking, Draco got up and followed 'it' out of the Great Hall.
Unfortunately, Ginny had had the same idea, only she had reached him first.
Hiding behind a nearby statue, Draco watched as Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry and then kissed him.
For the second time in a matter of days, Draco found himself crying. And, for the first time in his life, Draco felt his heart braking.
