"Harry!" shouted Jeremy from the front room of his parents’ quarters.
"In here," replied Harry from his room.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" asked Jeremy looking at Harry and all the books and rolls of parchment spread over his bed all around him.
"This is my room, you know?" said Harry looking around the room and putting emphasis on the word, â€ËœMy.’
"I know that, you stupid prat but I meant what are you doing here now, when you're supposed to be in class"
Harry was about to answer when he realized something. "What are YOU doing in here when you're supposed to be in class too?"
Jeremy rolled his eyes. "I had study hall, decided to skip it when our dear DADA Prof. also known as one of your Godfathers told me that you didn't show up for class and that when he asked your Gryffindor friends they said you didn't show up for any of your other morning classes either" Harry didn't want to make eye contact.
"Harry, what's wrong?" he sat down in Harry's bed and threw a pillow at his little brother.
"Look I don't want to talk about it, I just didn't feel like going to class and decided to stay here and do homework instead" said Harry simply.
"You do know that makes no sense, why would anyone skip class to do homework?!"
Jeremy was waiting for some sort of response but he got none. "More drama with your boyfriend?" that got the response he was looking for. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, I was just wondering if there was something wrong with you and Malfoy" said Jeremy.
"Why would you think there was something wrong with me and Draco?" asked Harry getting defensive.
"Harry I don't like Malfoy but he seems to really like you, why don't you two just get over yourselves and stop fighting so damn much" exclaimed Jeremy exasperated.
"He lied to me, he told me he had never slept with anyone" mumbled Harry.
"Come on Harry, you actually believed that?" he snorted." We haven't been here that long and I've heard a lot about Malfoy's reputation"
"I did hear that stuff but when I asked him he denied it so I decided to believe HIM and dismissed the rumors as that... rumors" said Harry sadly.
"So, what happened?"
"His friend Blaise kind of let it slip and then tried to lie about it. I wouldn't have minded so much if he'd just tell me that was in the past or whatever but he gave me all this crap about having done ''things'' but not having gone that far and I of course just bought it like a fool. I feel so stupid and just...mad, you know?" Harry was looking at his brother for understanding.
"I get it Harry, believe me.. It's weird you kind of remind me of Oliver" he said with a pensive frown.
"Ewww...I remind you of your lover?!?" said Harry rather disturbed by his brother's comment.
"Not that you dolt!! I mean that sometimes I do or say stupid things that hurt Oliver I don't mean to do it but still I can't help it, I know it doesn't make any sense but sometimes when I'm near him I just want to appear so great and I end up making a fool out of myself" he said laughing a little.
"You creeped me out for a little bit there. So, you and Oliver not doing so great either, huh?" asked Harry feeling bad for his brother.
"No actually everything is going great for some reason he finds my idiotic ways quite amusing. We're having our first real date this weekend in Hogsmeade" he said with a bit of a dreamy expression.
"That's great but you should really try and leave that stupid-love-struck- school-girl- crushed smile off your face" Jeremy whacked him round the head for that. Harry felt happy for his brother but couldn't help feeling a bit jealous of his relationship. He forgot about it for the moment as he and Jeremy got into a furious pillow fight.
Jeremy decided to skip his afternoon classes to spend time with Harry; they hadn't seen each other as much since they got separated by the sorting hat. They were playing exploding snap when they heard the portrait open in the front room. "Boys are you here?" they heard their mother’s voice coming closer to Harry's bedroom.
"Hey mum" said Jeremy from the floor where there was a pile of burned cards between Harry and him.
"I missed you today in study hall" she said looking at him waiting for an explanation.
"Had some big brother business to take care of" he said looking at Harry.
"Are you okay, Harry?" she was trying to make him look at her. She knelt down beside him and started running her fingers through his hair.
"He's fine, mum. He wasn't feeling well that's why I decided to skip the rest of the day, to stay with him" said Jeremy sensing his brother's discomfort.
"Okay" she said not convinced but letting it go...for now. "Well dinner should be ready in about an hour. Clean this up" she said gesturing to the pieces of burned cards.
Later. The Potters were having dinner when Lily decided she had enough of Harry's lack of full sentences to all her questions so, she tried the direct approach. "So, Harry did you ask Draco to dinner this Saturday?" Jeremy looked up at his brother to see his reaction and was surprised to see Harry calm.
"No, mum. He won't be coming for dinner this Saturday because we've broken up so there is no reason for you to get to know him anymore" he stood up and left the table.
Lily felt guilty because even though she was willing to give Draco a chance she didn't think he was right for her son. While Harry was hurting she was...relieved.
Harry had been up half the night thinking about Draco. He decided to go to the Great Hall for breakfast since his parents were still asleep. It was so early there were only about twenty people in there and most of them from Ravenclaw. There weren’t any Gryffindors so he went and sat down alone at the end of the table and a plate popped out of nowhere and then food appeared on it. He was quite hungry and started eating when someone tapped his shoulder gently.
"Hey, are you okay? I don't think I've ever seen you in here this early" commented Roger Davies sitting in front of Harry.
"Oh, that's because I don't.... I usually eat with my parents in the morning but today I got up early so I decided to come here instead" he looked at Roger and then added. "Are you allowed to seat here?" he gestured to the Gryffindor table.
"I think so, I don't know for sure but there aren't any teachers in here yet so it's okay" he said smiling.
"So, what do you have today?" said Harry asking about his classes.
"Potions, herbology, study hall and divination. Thanks for reminding me" he said groaning.
"Sorry, I know exactly how you feel because Snape hates me, Sprout is nice but her class is just...I don't know, my mum can be a nightmare and Trelawney...well she's just plain mad" he said laughing because Prof. Trelawny had walked into the was right after he had said her name and made her way over to the head table, stumbling over her long robes and almost falling on her face.
Roger burst out laughing. "I took you from miserable to this, I better go before I bring you down again" he said standing up.
"Wait, Harry!" he said standing up and going over to Harry taking his hands and stroking the back of them with his thumb. "You could never bring me down, you're so beautiful..." Harry didn't know what to do. Roger was nice but he didn't like him like that..
Draco walked into the hall and went straight to the Slytherin table. He had been thinking about how to apologize to Harry. If only I could get him to listen to me. He looked around the table to see if Blaise was around, he should really apologize after all he hadn't done anything wrong because he shouldn't have lied in the first place. "Wait, Harry" that drew his attention to the end of the Gryffindor table only to see Davies grabbing Harry's hands. Draco felt like killing the idiot touching his Harry and making him blush. He stood up intending to smash the Ravenclaw's face but then he thought better of it and took a deep breath and sat back down taking his frustration on his breakfast.
"Umm...Roger I don't...I mean you're nice and I like you but I don't...you know like you" Harry knew he sounded lame and pitiful but he didn't know what to say.
"Oh...that's okay Harry, I still like you though" he said feeling disappointed but recovering knowing that Harry probably needed to spend some time with him to like him.
"Well I have to go get my books" said Harry trying to leave as fast as he could but Roger pulled him back and kissed his cheek letting his lips linger longer than necessary. Harry just gave him a fake smile and almost ran into the students coming into the Hall.
