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 6: I Dreamt
Harry slumped down in one of the poufy (A/N: O,o…?) chairs in the common room to wait for his boyfriend and the other Gryffindors' arrival. 'Ugh… why me?' he pondered, feeling himself getting drowsy by the fire. 'Maybe I should take a nap… just for awhile… until they get here…' He barely thought the last statement, before drifting off to dreamland………
~*~
Harry stepped off of the drifting cloud he had been riding to Hogwarts, landing with a 'thud' on the ground. He dusted off his robes and made his way toward the castle, careful not to wake all of the sleeping students that were scattered around the courtyard. He looked around for a sign of someone he knew. Seamus, Ron, Hermione, and Draco were nowhere to be found. He stumbled over a cloaked figure that was sprawled in a way no live, uninjured human could. Its arms were twisted around its torso in a position that disgusted Harry just to look at and its legs were at distorted angles. He stole one look in the direction of the main doors, before glancing back to the body and pulling back the hood.
Harry screamed at the sight. 'It' was a he. His dark grey eyes were wide-open and bloodshot. Its mouth was bruised and its face looked as though it had been beaten repeatedly with a large shoe. The light hair was tangled and matted with blood that seemed to originate from his ripped open head. The young Gryffindor took a step back, letting the face be covered again with the cloak. This person was too familiar. Harry knew him, but couldn't put a name to the face. As though it was someone he had met in a dream.
The boy on the ground moaned and the raven-haired boy jumped, frightened at the fact that this human was still alive. "Hello?" he called, warily. (A/N: You'd be too, if a supposed dead-thing talked to you!) Harry walked toward the body once more, too terrified to pull back on the dark fabric that kept him from seeing the monstrosity of the face. "Hello?"
"Harry……" The figure's voice was faint and muffled by the cloth, but he still understood every word. "Help…….me….."
'It knows my name!' The thought scared the dark-haired boy most of all. "How? How can I help you?"
The blonde leaned up, reaching out an arm. "Get……me…..help….."
"Who? Who do you need? Madam Pomfrey? Professor Dumbledore?"
"No……you……"
"You want my help?" His voice was shaky and his eyes were close to tears.
"Yes…….get me……..to….." The figure fell back to the ground, violent blood pouring from the wound on his skull. The dark red substance formed a puddle on the ground that swirled viciously. The thick liquid fashioned itself into the shape of a snake, slithering closer to Harry, hissing rapidly, spitting at the Gryffindor.
He whimpered helplessly as the serpent continued to close in, fangs glistening wildly. "Help!" he cried out to no one in particular. The slinky reptile leapt up, sinking his teeth into Harry's neck, leaving him with a stinging sensation in his throat. The onyx-haired boy sobbed uncontrollably, falling to the ground, writhing in intense pain.
~*~
Harry's eyes shot open, a cold sweat covering his body. Tears were leaking out of his eyes, streaking his face. His robes were twisted around him and he had fallen to the floor. The common room was dark--the fire had burned out--and with a glance at the clock he registered that it was close to 10 at night. No more Gryffindors were in the room and he heard no noise upstairs. This was very irregular. Normally, hordes would be scattered among the light, bright, and crowded room. Now, there was no one besides Harry to 'scatter'.
The lone Gryffindor decided, rather than wait around for his boyfriend, he would visit the Headmaster about his dream. He grabbed his school bag and made his way out of the portrait hole and up the staircase to the infamous gargoyle. He shook his head, realizing he didn't have the password. He dipped into his bag, mindlessly, looking for his wand. Along with it came his favorite piece of parchment. Smiling, he pointed his wand at the paper and mumbled, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
The map came to life instantly, lines spreading across the page, letters and words forming at the top.
"Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs
Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers
are proud to present
THE MARAUDER'S MAP"
Snape was in his office, Filch and Mrs. Norris were prowling around the second floor corridor, and Peeves was bothering the trophy room. Everyone seemed distracted and Harry determined the best way to figure out the password was to wish it enough to see his minute self do the same. 'I want to get into Dumbledore's office… Draco is hot-----No, no, no… Concentrate…… Dumbledore… knows Draco! No! I need to tell him my dream!' As if on cue, a speech bubble appeared before his miniature self that read, "Acid Pop". The dark-haired boy smiled brightly and said, "Acid Pop."
The gargoyle sprang to life and hopped aside, the wall behind them splitting in two. Skipping up the stairs three at a time, he stopped at the top, in front of the big oak door, dizzy from the long ascent. He tapped the brass griffin knocker quietly. A voice called from inside, "Come on in, Harry…" The raven-haired boy didn't even take notice to how Dumbledore had known it was him, he just stepped through the opening and over to the Headmaster's desk. "Why are you here?" His voice sounded distressed and the Gryffindor wondered what was wrong.
"I had… a dream…" Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, as though amused. "I woke up… scared… none of the other Gryffindors were there…"
"Ah, yes… you left Hogsmeade, yes? Well, that is no matter… You will find out sooner or later… Do explain your reverie, I dare say…"
"Well," Harry began. Then he explained it all. From the cloud to the bodies. To the boy, and then the snake. He almost started crying again, tormented by the thought of the nightmare. Yes, nightmare.
"Do you have any idea who the boy might've been?" Dumbledore was holding out on him. Harry could feel it. He knew who the boy was. He knew from the moment he saw him. He nodded weakly. "And…?"
"It was Draco."
