Harry still thought he was crazy for letting Draco in on the D.A., but maybe that's what love does to you. He went down to breakfast the next morning with Draco, and they parted to go to their separate table. (But of course not until after a goodbye kiss... and let's just say that started some major gossip.)
He sat next to a strangely talkative Ginny, who wanted to know EVERY detail of his new relationship. He was up to answering all of her questions, but he noticed how pale and quiet Ron was. Hermione wasn't even sitting next to Ron, but instead they were separated by both Dean and Lavender. What was going on with them?
Harry got up and pulled Ron with him out of the Great Hall. Ron wouldn't even look at him. He just walked quietly along with Harry back to the Gryffindor common room, where they wouldn't be disturbed. Harry was very shocked when he got there, it had been redecorated. (Apparently by Ginny Ron would tell him later.)
Had it really been that long since he'd been there? It had only been less than a week! A week? All of those things with Draco had happened in less than a week? Time was going by very slow for Harry Potter; and that's just how he liked it.
"Why won't you just tell me what's wrong, Ron. I thought we were best friends!" They argued minutes later.
"We WERE. Until you went and got in a fight with Draco, after not even backing me and Hermione up, and then you suddenly... fall in love with him! Harry, I didn't even know you liked guys!"
"Well, either did I really." Harry said calmly.
"You should have told me first!"
"Ron! We told everyone at the same time! What did you expect me to do? 'Hey Ron I need to go out side and tell you something that I'm going to tell everyone but you need to know first so you won't get mad at me later.' That would have just gotten everyone else mad!"
"But then you made out with him! And I was still getting over the shock."
"I'm sorry, Ron." But he wasn't, not for making out with Draco, not when it made him so happy.
"And now me and Hermione broke up!"
"WHAT?!"
"Yea... we were arguing all last night. I didn't want you to be with Draco. I mean COME ON. He's a MALFOY! What kind of stupid git are you Harry? Can't you see he's just going to turn on you and hand you to some mad group of bloody Death Eaters!?!" Ron was screaming so loudly, without breathing, that he fell to the couch grasping for breath.
Harry sat opposite of Ron and folded his arms. Yea, he could see where Ron was coming from, but he had absolutely no right to call him those things and blow up on him like that! Then he remembered all the times last year he freaked out on everyone for no reason. He was confused, troubled, and quite depressed. Maybe Ron was feeling the same way. His best friend was suddenly with a guy... and that guy happened to be one of their worst enemies. Ron didn't know the real Draco, and Harry hadn't told him.
Now Ron had lost his girlfriend, the girl he had been crushing on since first year, and he was now deeply in love with. Not only that, but Hermione was their other best friend. Now it was like Ron had lost both of his best friends. Both of the friends sat there quietly for minutes. Apparently Ron was in as much deep thought as Harry.
Finally Ron spoke, "Harry, I just want things to be how they were. I want you to come back to Gryffindor, I want Hermione to be mine again, and I want to just forget any of this ever happened."
"Ron, I am still in Gryffindor. I still see you at Quidditch practice, and you can come visit me anytime! If you apologize to Hermione then she'll talk to again, because she truly loves you... I know it!"
"Harry, if I came to see you, then HE would be there."
"Draco has his own room to go in, besides I can come visit you too!"
"Fine, promise me that when ever we're hanging out, he won't be anywhere around. Promise?"
"Yea, I promise."
Harry regretted it right away.
Draco had seen Harry get up with Weasley and he cursed that pathetic excuse for a pure blood. When he finally calmed down. he realized they were still allowed to be best friends, and that he had to give them their space. He finished his muffin and coffee and then walked to the library to finish his History of Magic Essay on "Giant Wars: A second Generation." By the time he was done it was almost time for lunch again, but he wasn't hungry. He went back to the dormitory and was unhappy to see his love wasn't there. What were he and Weasley up to? "No, Draco, stop it! Harry loves you... it's in his eyes... he would never!" Despite that thought, he felt the jealousy raise in him.
Just then, as if on cue, Harry and Ron walked through the portrait saying:
"Look Ron, you've just got to tell her how you feel."
"She knows how I feel!"
"Then apologize!"
"She should be the one apologizing to me, if she wasn't so stubborn!"
"Ron, Hermione isn't the stubborn one, she had a right to be mad."
They kept arguing as they walked into Harry's room. Draco was happy to know they were talking about Hermione, his jealousy subsided. However, Harry walked right by him without even saying hello! "Is he mad at ME?!" Draco worried. He decided to knock on Harry's door.
"Come in."
"What do YOU want Malfoy."
"Umm.. I just wanted to make sure you guys were okay." Draco said, noticing how angry Ron l looked.
"Well it's none of your business! Get out of here." Ron spat at him.
"O-Okay..." Draco turned slowly and closed the door behind him, very angry that Harry hadn't said anything.
Harry stared at his friend, "Ron! I can't believe you."
"You promised Harry!
"Yea but I haven't had a chance to talk to him about it yet. He has feelings you know."
Harry got up and made his way to the door. Before leaving, he heard Ron mumble something like "No, actually I didn't realize that heartless gits had feelings." Harry slammed the door and saw Draco sitting on the couch with his head bowed. Harry sat right next to him.
He ran his finger along Draco's jaw line until it rested on his chin. He pushed up and turned Draco's face towards him. They were looking into each other's eyes "I'm sorry, Draco. Don't listen to Ron. He doesn't realize what your really like. He still sees you as how you used to treat us, he can't get by that. I'll find away to prove to him how great you are."
Draco started to say something, but Harry pulled him into a passionate kiss. He broke away and looked into Draco's eyes again. Those silvery drops of heaven taunted Harry's patients, he wanted nothing but to just be with Draco all day everyday and never leave his arms. But, he knew he couldn't do that. He had a life, responsibilities.
No...he didn't want to think of his "responsibilities". Not when it meant having to kill Lord Voldemort, or be killed himself. He had to get his mind off of that. He pulled Draco into another kiss, this time with tongue. They sat making out and caressing each other's soft faces and shoulders for some time.
Harry began to worry that Ron would come out and see them like that. He didn't want anymore confrontations, so he pulled out of the kiss. "Look, Draco...sweetie... Ron kind of doesn't...well..." Draco looked at him with confusion. "Well, you see. The whole...idea...of us being together really makes Ron uncomfortable. He kind of doesn't want us to be together when he and I are hanging out." There, he said it. He waited for a reaction. But Draco just smiled. Harry was very confused.
Draco kept smiling at Harry. Was that it? They made such a big deal out of that? He should have just told him. "Harry, it's okay. Look, All of my friends...well besides Blaise... said the same thing. I mean it's obviously they hate you... sorry... but I'm going to try and change that. For now, it's best to just do things the way they want."
Draco pulled Harry into a quick kiss and then said, "You better get back to the Weasel...I mean Ron... before you two have another Row." He kissed him again. "I'm going to the Slytherin common room to hang out with Blaise and Pansy for a while. I'll see you a little later." They started making out again, and Draco fought off the need to stay there forever.
Just then Ron broke into the room and made a noise of disgust. They broke apart and Harry cursed under his breath. Draco pulled him into one more quick kiss and then left the room, waving mockingly at Ron.
A/N: Hello my loyal fans! I want to apologize for all of the spelling mistakes! But um...just do your best to understand them. When I have more time I'll go back and fix them all for future readers (if there is any!) The thing is that if my spell check doesn't pick up on them, then either do I. I really just go with the flow and type before I forget what I was going to say! lol... I'm still not even sure where this story is going to end up... but I'm debating some ideas. And I'm sure you'll all be proud of me, I finally started my Honors History work... I still have three Essays left! Nooo! Okay, well... tell me if you liked it or not!
