Summary: (In Harry's 7th year…but when I started this, I hadn't read the 5th book, so it's Harry's 7th year w/ no info from the latest book. If I changed it, everything would be screwed up! ::Sob:: So just pretend the 5th book doesn't exist!) When Draco breaks up with Harry at the holidays, the Boy-Who-Lived is devastated… some Christmas present! He immediately turns to the first person who will take him in, Seamus. He, being the Irish Pixie that he is, "comforts" Harry… with his lips! Harry, being the naïve teen that he is, decides to go public that he's over Draco and is dating his fellow Gryffindor. Draco, out of jealousy and hate, decides to publicly date our favorite "Slytherin plot twist", Blaise. When Harry sees them together, he is crushed, as he has obviously just harbored his feelings about the Slytherin who stole his heart. What will everyone's favorite hero do when his heart is torn and the only person who can make him stop crying is the person who made him cry in the first place?
Dedication: Yes! Finally dedicated! Well, at least this chapter is anyways! ::Grin:: SO! This chapter is dedicated to my bestest guy pal in 'da whole world ('n my bestest dawgy dawg!) Kumi-chan! You rock! And you know why it's dedicated to you! Poutin' is 'da only way! ^_^ ::Pouty::
Chapter 2: Crying Will Get You Nowhere, but Pouting Makes All the Difference!
The Saturday morning was new and the grass was still dew-kissed, but Harry was already awake. Realizing sleep was no longer an option, he grabbed his winter cloak from his trunk and walked downstairs and outside to the main grounds, making his way to Hagrid's. The weather reflected the young Potter's mood exactly---dark, gloomy, and foggy. The snow was whipping in the harsh wind and he barely heard the voice softened by the brisk currents.
"Harry? Is that you?" The raven-haired boy snapped his head around to face the voice. Seamus stood, a few feet away, grinning.
"Seamus? What are you doing here?" He cocked his head to the side and stood in the bustling snow.
"Looking for you… thought you'd be visiting our friend Hagrid now!" The Irish boy smiled.
"Our friend?"
"Yeah… Since we're an item now, I'd figure we'd share everything, including friends!" Seamus' grin was completely devious.
"Everything…?"
"Yes… everything… How's Ron doing?"
Harry's eyes widened in shock at what this implied. Then his eyes narrowed into angry slits. "Fine," he snapped and turned around, continuing to the hut.
"Har'… wait!" Seamus ran after his boyfriend. "Stop!" He put a hand on the onyx-haired boy's shoulder and spun him around.
"Leave me alone, Seamus!" Harry spat, spinning back around and pushing himself through the snow-winds to Hagrid's.
"What is WRONG with you, Harry?! I've done nothing but love you and all you do is push me away! What is the problem?!" Seamus ran in front of the other boy and put his hands on his shoulders. "Talk."
"No… No one has ever listened to me before, why would you want to start now?" Harry stared into the deep pools of brown before him. They shown with nothing but love. He leaned up and pressed his cold mouth against Seamus' frozen one.
"Har'… how can you do that?" The brown-haired boy mumbled into Harry's retreating lips.
"Easy…" The smaller Gryffindor took his boyfriend's hand and led him back to the snow-covered school.
*
Once safely inside the heated school, Harry pulled off his winter cloak and snuck his arm around Seamus' waist. Stretching up, he whispered into the Irish boy's wind-reddened ear,
"Meet me back down here at noon for Hogsmeade…"
"Of course, Har'." The raven-haired boy gave him one last fleeting kiss before darting upstairs.
'That Harry,' Seamus thought, heading into the Great Hall for breakfast.
*
Draco stood rigid at the bottom of the staircase watching the scene unfold between Harry and Seamus.
'God! Harry doesn't waste any time, does he? Well, I can understand why… But, GOD! I guess two can play at that game! One last thing to take care of first, though!'
The blonde turned around the corner and began up a flight of stairs.
*
Harry checked his outfit and hair one last time. He had on a tight black shirt he had bought at Hogsmeade to wear for Draco on Christmas Eve, a week and two days away, and a pair of loose black dress trousers. His school robes hung around his wiry frame and he kept running his hand through his hair self-consciously. Deciding he had to go eat something before he left for Hogsmeade in less than an hour, he made his way out of the dorm and into the circular common room.
Harry caught a glimpse of something shiny in one of the chair cushions across the room. Moving over there, he reached his hand into the crease and pulled out a familiar sterling silver ring. It was the ring Draco had given to him for his 17th birthday, promising his heart and soul.
The onyx-haired boy slumped into the chair and buried his head in his hands. Tears dripped from his eyes and he wiped them away with the sleeve of his robes, before shedding more tears and needing his robes again.
*
Draco supplied the most recent password Harry had given him to the Fat Lady and the portrait swung open. He slipped through the hole and entered the common room. Eyes scanning the room, they rested on the weeping teen in a far chair.
"Excuse me?" he called.
Harry lifted his head suddenly at the sound of his lost love's voice.
"Har'? Is that you?"
When the Gryffindor's soppy emerald eyes met the Slytherin's slate-grey ones, Draco almost melted. Harry quickly averted his eyes and wiped the rest of the tears away, standing up and smoothing out the wrinkles in his robes.
"What are you doing here, Draco?"
'Good, he's already over me enough to call me by my first name again,' he thought with a smile. "I was…erm…y'see…well…you have my…winter cloak…and…I kinda need it…seeing…kinda…as…it is…um…winter…y'know?"
Harry frowned and pulled off his tear-soaked robes, throwing them in the chair. He fiddled with the ring in his palm a bit before answering the blonde,
"It's upstairs," he mumbled curtly, turning around and heading up the staircase.
*
Draco watched Harry's retreating back with amazement.
'No wonder he's okay with everything! He's so OBVIOUSLY over me! This cloak-thing was the only thing left holding us together…if I didn't know any better, I think Harry would've broken up with me earlier to go out with Seamus!' He shook his head and murmured, "That Harry…" The Slytherin settled in one of the chairs and waited for his return.
Ten minutes later, with no arrival, Draco began to worry. He headed up the stairs to the dorm in search of the Gryffindor.
*
Harry sat on his bed with his back to door, head tilted to his lap, where Draco's cloak lay, face buried in his tear-soaked hands. He didn't even hear the door open and his fellow 7th year enter the boys dormitories. He had placed the silver band back on his right ring finger, where it had been the night the blonde had given it to him.
Long arms wrapped around his sobbing figure, enveloping him in a bubble of warmth.
"Sh, Har'…it'll all be OK…" Draco's voice soothed. Before the blonde knew what he was doing, he had moved next to Harry, pulling him closer. 'God! What have I done?! Wait! He can't be crying over me! He's already dating that git, Seamus! Whoa, whoa, whoa…what has that Irish Pixie done to my Lion?! My?! What the fuck…'
"Drake? Is that you?" Harry asked quietly into his hands.
"Yes, it's me…everything will be over soon…I promise…" The Slytherin's voice was silky and sweet. Harry snuggling up against him, shivering slightly at the familiar touch.
"Promise…" he mumbled.
*
Seamus ran up the staircase to the boys dorm in search of his present for Harry. He opened the door quickly, but caught it before it slammed against the wall, not wanting to startle anyone that might be inside.
He rushed over to his bed, stopping mid-step seeing Harry and Draco together on his love's bed. All color drained from his face and his eyes glowed in anger as he watched the two cuddle.
