A/N: Oh God, I can't wait! Tomorrow, the fifth book is coming out!
**giggles happily** Okay just to tell you all, I'm going to camp in 2 weeks
(July 4th) and will be returning back on July 7th. So I either wont be able
to update that week, or I'll update a head of time, OR I'll update once I
return from camp! I'll probably update before camp, and I'll be bringing my
story along with me to there, so I can write the next chapter then.
*******************************************************
Harry walked in on a very odd scene. Hermione was sitting on one of the couches, arms crossed, eyes fixed steadily on Ron. Her usual smile now turned into a nasty frown. Ron sat on the table in front of her, twiddling his thumbs, starring at his feet.
"Err, guys?" Harry spoke.
People that were in the common room lapse in silence, watching. Harry got no reply from his 2 friends.
"Guys?" Harry tried again.
"When were you going to tell me?" Hermione snapped, eyes still fixed on Ron, but Harry knew she was talking to him.
"Well.........soon."
"How long have you been dating that git? How long has it been hmm? Were you planning to tell me at all?"
"I-"
"You weren't going to. I knew something was up with you. But I thought you would tell me, but no you didn't. You kept silence about it. You told Ron though," Hermione said angrily.
"I was going to tell you," Harry said. "What's the big deal anyway?"
"The big deal is that all this time I thought I was one of your best friends. But it turns out that only Ron is."
"I told you, I was going to tell you. You're one of my best friends too. I didn't know how'd you react to it all."
"I would have been happy for you!"
"Then why aren't you now?"
"Because you don't trust me do you?"
"I do!" Harry exclaimed.
"Then you would have told me," Hermione snapped, getting up from the chair.
"Hermione!" Harry said following her up the stairs. "Come on, I'm sorry!"
"Sorry wont fix the fact that you don't trust me."
"Hermione!"
"What? What now? Are you going to finally tell me you've been sleeping with that idiot too?" Hermione snapped.
"He's not a idiot," Harry held back his anger.
"Harry, he's a Slytherin. He's been taunting us, saying cruel things to us ever since first year," Hermione said more quietly.
"He changed," Harry said exasperated.
"Not in my point of view," Hermione said. "He still glares at you from across the Great Hall."
"We don't want everyone knowing that fact that the Great Harry Potter, and the son of Lucius Malfoy are attracted to men."
"So? Then can't you just get yourself a nice girlfriend?"
"As you might already know, I'm NOT attracted to girls," Harry blushed.
Hermione looked at Harry sadly, her eyes seemed to be getting more watery by the second. Harry noticed and was surprised.
"Hermione, are you okay?" Harry asked.
"Harry," Hermione said weakly. "I'm losing you to my enemy! I don't want that to happen!"
"What are you talking about/" Harry asked confused.
"Didn't you notice?" Hermione wiped her eyes.
"Noticed what?"
"The way I kept looking at you, and why I care about you a lot!"
"Well, no, not exactly. Why?"
"Your so clueless!" Hermione said heading towards her dorm.
Harry still didn't get it as he followed her again.
"About what?"
"Oh my god Harry!" Hermione said. "I like you alright? I-like-you! I may even love you!"
Harry stared at her, trying to let the words slowly sink in. Hermione likes him? That's wrong! How was he going to tell Ron?
"Say something," Hermione pleaded.
"I-I'm sorry, but I'm in love with Draco," Harry said. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know."
Hermione nodded, tears coming down freely. She tried wiping them away, but she continued standing they're, crying. Harry wanted to do something to comfort her, he has never seen Hermione this way before.
"Hermione," Harry started.
"No Harry, d-don't talk to me right now," Hermione said in between her quiet sobs. "I just want to be left alone for now."
With that, Hermione walked into the girl's dorm, and shut the door with a loud snap. Harry sighed, he could hear Hermione crying from behind the door. He turned around meeting a pale-faced Ron.
"Ron," Harry said surprised.
"So she likes you," Ron said glumly.
"You heard?"
"Yeah."
There was awkward silence before Ron turned to leave. Harry followed him.
"You okay?"
"Just fine, chirpy even. My crush is in love with my best friend. It's always about you isn't it?" Ron muttered angrily through gritted teeth, and clenched fists. "The whole world doesn't evolve around you."
"It's not my fault, I didn't force her to like me!" Harry exclaimed. "You still have a chance with her, I'm not stepping your way."
"That's what you think," Ron retorted.
"I don't need this right now, you know perfectly well I don't have feelings for her. There's an open path for you, why don't you walk down it? I know you like her; I would never take her away from you. She's only one of my best friends, nothing more. I already have someone who I'm absolutely crazy for."
Ron just stood there, eyes still on Harry. The blazing he had before vanished, however, Ron still felt a twinge of jealousy.
"What do I do?" Ron asked helplessly.
"You can go talk to her for starters. But I think you should do that tomorrow, when she feels more calm."
"Thanks," Ron smiled. "Sorry about that mate."
"It's okay, good luck with talking to her tomorrow," Harry said winking. "Oh and before I forget."
Harry got out the candy he bought for Ron.
"Happy Christmas," Harry said.
"Thanks."
*******************************************************
Harry could not sleep that night. So many things occupied itself in Harry's mind. Hermione liking him was one of them. The look on her face when he told her he loved Draco. Love.........what is love? He never experienced it as a child, having to have to live with the Dursleys. Draco admitted he might even love him that night in the Hospital Wing. Hermione said she might love him too. This is turning into a mess. It'll get better right? Ron will talk to Hermione tomorrow; maybe she might even notice its Ron that she likes, not Harry. He turned in bed so he was facing the red curtains around his bed.
But how can things get better when Draco is leaving in 3 days? Harry thought bitterly.
He wondered if Draco was asleep now. Harry wanted to spend every minute and second with Draco. Each day, the times he got to spend with Draco were getting so precious.
Harry drew the curtains aside and sat up, noticing right away the crystal figurine. It sparkled perfectly in the moonlight.
Not feeling a bit drowsy, Harry got out of bed. He got out his invisibility cloak and threw it on himself. He shoved some parchment and quill in his pockets as well. With that, he left the dorm.
*******************************************************
Draco was sitting in bed with the scarf Harry gave him. There was a familiar tapping sound on his window. He got up and noticed Harry's owl flying outside. He remembered very well about the letter he received from Harry. The owl tapped the window again, getting impatient out in the cold. Draco let her in and she dropped a parchment on his bed, before flying off again. The parchment only contained 6 words.
Meeting me outside your common room.
Draco did as he was told, and as soon as he walked out into the hallway, he felt someone rush up and kissed him eagerly.
"Harry?" Draco whispered as soon as they broke apart.
"Yeah," Harry said while taking off his invisibility cloak.
"What are you doing here?"
"I couldn't sleep."
"Want to come in?" Draco asked.
Harry nodded, and followed Draco into the Slytherin common room. It has been a while since he had stepped into the room.
"Let's go to my room."
As soon as Harry entered Draco's room, memories flooded back. He remembered the detention with Draco. He sniggered loudly and tried stifling his laughter.
"Don't bother, you can talk as loud as you want, and those 2 logs wont wake up. They won't wake up even if Hagrid farted and sat on them."
This time, Harry doubled over in fits of laughter. Draco raised an eyebrow at him and smirked.
"So what's on your mind?" Draco asked lying down on his bed. "Sit."
Harry sat on the edge of Draco's bed.
"I'm going to miss you," Harry said sadly.
Draco frowned and moved so he could hug Harry from behind.
"Don't be like that."
"We have 3 more days left, and I want to spend every moment of it with you. I'll even sit you during meals," Harry said turning his head so he was facing the crook of Draco's neck.
"And at night? Shall we share the same room and bed too?"
"Defiantly."
"Good, we'll sleep in my bed tonight," Draco grinned maliciously.
He pulled Harry along with him, so they both ended up resting on the same pillow. He pulled the cover over them both, and embraced Harry.
"I missed your room," Harry sighed.
"Mmhmm."
Harry watched Draco fall asleep.
"Draco?" Harry whispered, touching Draco's face.
"Mmwhat?" Draco muttered.
"Goodnight."
"Nyeah, night."
"Draco?"
"What?" Draco opened both his eyes wearily.
"Aren't we going to do other things in your bed tonight?" Harry pouted.
Draco chuckled, "Sure, only if you want me to fall asleep in the middle of our snog fest."
"Fine, goodnight."
"Night Harry," Draco kissed Harry's cheek.
Harry moved into Draco's embrace and closed his eyes. He felt so safe lying here next to Draco. Whenever he was with him, all his troubles seemed to float away. Plus, Harry found it easier to fall asleep in Draco's comfortable bed.
