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! I know it'll be hard… ::Sniff::) 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?

*Chapter 5: All Good Things Must Come to an End
Harry pushed through the crowd that was gathering around the scene and rushed after Draco. "Drake!" Even the name sounded far away. "Wait up!" Seamus stood with his mouth agape, next to an equally shocked Blaise.
"Did you just see what I just saw?" the Slytherin mumbled.
"Unfortunately," the boy's Irish temper was rising and there was an evil glint in his eyes that was daring the blonde to even touch Harry.
~*~
Draco stopped running about 200 feet from the entrance to Hogsmeade. His shoulders heaved and he fought to catch his breath. He wasn't a bit startled when he felt Harry tug on the sleeve of his robes. That didn't mean that he wasn't upset.
"What do you want, Potter?:" he snapped, a fresh set of tears streaking his face.
"Potter? Is that how it's gonna be then? All I wanted to do was see if you were okay and you wanna be harsh?! Fine!" Harry turned on his heel, face red, and began his long, embarrassing trek back to his boyfriend.
"Har'! Wait! I… I'm sorry… I was just really mad about everything with Blaise! That's all. Please, don't leave me!" Draco's voice pleaded. Harry stopped, as he knew he always would. His ex soft tone had that way with him. He was reluctant, wondering what he was getting himself into this time.
"I'm sorry, too… for the way things ended," Harry murmured, turning to face the taller boy.
"It… it's alright…" The Slytherin used his robes to wipe away the salty drops that had forever stained his life.
"Gads, Drake! Are you crying? That's not very Malfoy-like of you!" A smirk danced across Harry's face.
"Oh, sod off, Har'!" he snapped, half-heartedly.
"Ooh! Someone's very touchy!" he teased, knowing the blonde was going to do something without any thought.
The raven-haired boy was right, but what he did surprised him most. His mood was delicate, "Yes, touchy." The word was barely out of his mouth before Draco reached out and pulled the Gryffindor closer, their lips meeting hastily and their bodies pressed together. When they parted for a much-needed breath, Harry inhaled sharply and muttered,
"What they hell did you do that for?!"
"Why do you think?" He was forever doing this, answering Harry's questions with more questions.
Harry thought for a moment. "Because you only want something you can't have."
He snorted, "Don't be so sure of that!"
"I'm Seamus' now… you gave up the right to kiss me when you broke up with me, remember?" Harry's tone went to Draco's heart and soul. He recoiled as if hit with whip.
The Slytherin pulled back, studying the raven-haired boy's face intently. "Yes, I do…" He frowned and took a backward step toward the castle. 'I'll beat that Irish prat, yet. And I know just how to do that--I'll beat the Gryffindor in him! Ha!'
Harry realized the boy he had fallen for was beginning to withdraw. "Hey, Drake? Do you think we could ever be friends?" he asked simply.
The blonde threw back his head and laughed. "A Slytherin and a Gryffindor? I think not. This is how it was meant to be---the Gryffindors and the Slytherins separated. Salazar would disgrace me if he knew what inter-House-breeding I have done!" Another fit of giggles overtook him.
Harry just stood there, dumbstruck. 'Breeding? Is that all I was to him? A good fuck?' Tears threatened Harry's mask of stability. "I have to go," he said, running past Draco back to the castle.
~*~
Blaise and Seamus stared with the same look of astonishment.
"Did they just kiss?" The Gryffindor wondered aloud.
"I think so! Gads, they can't seem to keep their hands off each other!" the other boy spat, voice full of loathing.
They watched as the two talked, and Draco laughed, and then as Harry left the scene swiftly, clearly upset. Seamus stood, speechless.
~*~
Tears had already begun to flow freely when the young Potter arrived in the Gryffindor common room. Two first years playing Wizard Chess were the only other occupants. He brushed away the drops that covered his face and stumbling over to the stairs, passing their game and mumbling a random, "Black, move your King-side castle to E5 and take his Queen…" He started up the stairs, groggily, not really in any hurry to get there.
~*~
Sirius sat up, hearing footsteps on the staircase, He pushed Remus, who was once beside him, on the ground and frantically pressed the wrinkles out of his robes. They had been on the pup's old bed, which was now Harry's.
Remus sat up, kneeling next to the bed, resting his arms across the side. "My, my, Padfoot! So much for 'completely open and honest, oh-how much I love you, Remus'!" he teased. The werewolf got a pat on the head and a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh, come on! Y'know how I feel, Remi! But what if that's Harry! You know how much I want us to be a surprise!"
"There's NO way it'll be a surprise!"
"Oh, true. The way you've stared at me since 2nd year!" Moony turned bright red and decided that it would be best for a change of subject, instead on making a comment such as 'Harry wouldn't know about that!' to which Sirius would've responded with, 'Yeah, but he spent a lot of time with us from his 5th year on! Y'know… with the Order 'n all!' and Remus would've wrinkled his nose at his mate. No, instead he would go with,
"Plus, if he's anything like James, or even Lily for that matter, he'll hate surprises."
"Come on! Y'know how much James loved those…erm…surprises!" Black complained.
"Yeah. Him and Lil' LOVED walking in on a serious snog session every single time they got back from a date!"
"Well, he should've knocked!" The Animagus smiled and leaned in closer to his lover, nuzzling his nose on his mate's cheek, breathing warm air on his lips. "He always WAS great at walking in at the worst times, wasn't he?"
Their lips met in a passionate kiss that pulled Remus up farther on the bed and on top of Sirius, only to be broken apart by an uncomfortable cough by the door.
"Like father, like son," Padfoot murmured, wiping the drool from his lips and chin.
"Sorry, Harry!" Remus said, standing up and enveloping his best friend's godson in a back-breaking hug. "How y'been?"
"Better if I could breathe!" he choked out. The werewolf grinned and released the boy, giving Sirius enough time to give him an even bigger embrace that earned Harry a jealous stare from Remus.
"Wow, Har'! You look great!" he said, letting go and returning to his werewolf's side.
The young Gryffindor ignored his comment. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Visiting you, of course!" The grin on Sirius' face didn't go unnoticed.
"What are you here for?" he repeated.
"We've got a surprise!" Remus blurted out, quickly earning a hit on the head from his boyfriend.
"Surprise?" Harry sounded skeptical.
"Yes," his godfather sounded very disappointed. "We have an announcement!" The dark-haired boy smiled.
"Okay… do tell!"
"Well," Moony began.
"Y'see… well… we… um… Remus and I, to say…"
"Sir'… just spit it out already!" Harry groaned.
"We'regonnagetmarried!" It was all one word, but the Potter understood completely.
"Are you serious?" His eyes were wide with shock.
"Why, yes I am!" he said, modestly.
"Sirius!" Harry mock-glared at him. "You and Professor Lupin? That's great!" He smiled.
"Please, Har'! Call me Remus!" he complained. "Professor Lupin makes me sound old!"
"Fine, fine," Harry mumbled. He furrowed his brow.
"What's wrong?" Padfoot inquired.
"I was just… remembering something that someone once told me… 'All good things must come to an end'… up until now… I thought that was true, but… I think you guys will prove me wrong…" A faint smile crossed his face. More of an echo of a smile--one that was once there, but only traces of it remained.
"Yeah," Sirius slipped an arm around his fiancé's waist, "we will."
Remus smiled, and then turned his attention back to Harry. "But, that's not all. I want you to be my best man."
"You?" Padfoot's voice sounded disbelieving. "You are SO not the guy in this relationship!"
"Are you saying that you are?" Moony frowned.
"I'm more masculine than you!"
"So, I need a Maid of Honor?!"
"Guess so!" The ebony-haired man smiled, obviously feeling victorious.
"So, Har'… will you be my… Maid of Honor?" Remus asked.
Harry's passionate green eyes met Sirius' deep blue and Remus' amber ones. "I can't."
"If the name bothers you---" Padfoot began.
"No, it's not that…"
"You can bring Draco!" Harry grimaced. "Oh, Harry… what happened?"
"Nothing." Harry forced a smile. "I'm okay. Anyway… I'm really happy for you… and… I hope everything works out… I've got to go… 'Bye…" Harry rushed passed the couple, the foredooming tears returning.
Remus and Sirius shared a look before pondering what trouble they'd gotten themselves into.
