Ron shook me awake. To my surprise it was still dark outside, I then
realised that a heavy rain was in the process of sweeping over Hogwarts. I
quietly got dressed as Ron rambled on about his summer. I listened closely
to the sound of the rain drops slamming furiously against the window.
"...we have Potions first thing this morning."
I snapped out of my trance just in time. "Potions?! Great way to start a day. Perfect weather for it thought, crappy just like the class itself."
Ron agreed. "You're not mad at me are you?"
"Why would I be mad at you?"
"Because I didn't invite you to the Burrow this summer."
I was hoping he wouldn't remind me. "Oh no Ron i'm not mad at you for sacrificing me to the Dursley's. No, I've actually learned to enjoy watching Dudley feed my food to the neighbourhood dogs."
"I thought you looked a little thin."
I turned and glared at Hermione who was standing in the doorway. "Oh piss off." I walked right into her, knocking her into the doorframe before hurrying down the stairs to the dungeons. As I raced down the stairs in all my fury I ran right into the last person I wanted to talk to.
"Watch where you're going Potter!" Draco pushed me before bending over to collect his belongings.
"Screw you." With that I walked off. As I entered the potions classroom I hurried to the desk I usually shared with Ron. Did I really want to sit next to someone who didn't even bother to take me out of the hell we call Privet Drive? I looked around for an empty spot and found one, right next to none other than Chelsie. "Hi."
"Hey." The awkward silence struck again. "Thanks for sitting next to me. You really saved me from having to sit next to someone I completely hate."
"Who would be?" I watched a shadow appear upon the surface of the desk. I turned around and looked up. "Malfoy. Figures." The next thing I knew he had grabbed me by my robes and stood me on my feet.
"Malfoy leave him alone."
"Go sit where you belong Potter." He let me go.
"Draco why are you doing this?" Chelsie shouted enraged at the way Draco had just gone off on me.
"I want to sit next to my girlfriend."
I gasped. "YOUR WHAT?"
Chelsie rolled her eyes. "Draco how many times do I have to drill this into your stupid little head? I'm not your girlfriend anymore! It was a summer fling that's it, it's done with. Now if you don't mind, I think you should go to the back of the classroom where you belong, inbetween the two biggest idiots in the whole school."
Draco became filled with anger as he made his way to the back of the classroom. "You better watch what you say to me Chelsie."
"Oh i'm so scared. "
The doors flew open and in entered Professor Snape. I quickly took my seat next to Chelsie. Throughout the class I occasionally caught Ron glancing over at me, but refused to look at him. After what seemed like an eternity class was dismissed. I made sure to walk out with Chelsie avoiding all possible run ins with Ron or Hermione. Classes went on as scheduled and finally lunch rolled around. I made sure to sit as far away from Ron and Hermione as possible and everyone found that unusual.
"What's up with you guys? I've never seen you distance yourself from those two." Neville said looking around.
" I just don't feel like talking to them right now, that's all."
"But that's so not right. I mean you guys use to be joined at the hip! What's wrong?"
"Come on guys leave Harry alone. Can't you see he just wants to be left alone right now?" Chelsie sat down next to me and I thanked her before going back to my food. Everything was going well. Chelsie and I were deep in conversation, and I found myself falling hard for her. Then trouble came.
"Chelsie can I talk to you?" That voice. That horrible voice. Would it ever just go away? Didn't he get the hint? Than again this was Malfoy we were talking about. She seemingly tried to ignore him until he got more persistance. "Chelsie, seriously, now."
"I'll be right back." She uneasily got up from the table and followed Malfoy outside. As soon as the doors closed I got up and followed them. I had to know what was so important that Draco had to disturb our conversation to talk to her. I was also worried, that he might try something. I crept around for a while until I found them in the Charms classroom of all places. "Draco I don't want to be with you anymore how hard is that to understand?"
"I didn't come here to talk to you about that." He grabbed her by her arm making my blood boil. "You will sit next to me next potions class and you will do as I say or else i'll tell them all what we did this summer."
"Oh please Draco, you think I care? You think that just because we had sex that, that somehow makes you this big macho man? Well it doesn't, you're still a stupid little punk." She freed her arm from his grasp and exited the room. I tried my best to sneak away, but she noticed me. "Harry? Oh my God what are you doing here?" I tried to come up with a decent excuse, but I was to shocked and heartbroken to say anything. "Harry I'm sorry."
"You slept with Malfoy?"
"Trust me it was a mistake. I regret ever having anything to do with him."
"But that doesn't erase the fact that you slept with him."
"God would you stop saying that."
"I'll see you around."
"Harry don't leave please."
I ignored her, and quickly raced back to the Great Hall. I quickly packed my things and headed outside for a bit of fresh air. I found a bench, sheltered from the rain, and took a seat. I needed sometime to myself. To take this all in. I wasn't angry at Chelsie, what happened, and that's not who she really is. I felt so hopeless, as if I would never be happy. Everything I wanted was so out of reach. I wanted Chelsie, but the way I reacted earlier probably blew any chance I ever had of being with her. I wanted my friends back, but I let my anger get the best of me. Would I ever have a chance at happiness? The bell sounded, but I ignored it. The last thing I needed was to be in a stressful classroom situation. I sat out there for hours, the rain turned into drizzle, the sun began to peak through the clouds. Surprisingly, no one had even come looking for me, or so I thought.
"Harry?" I looked up at Professor Dumbledore, but didn't say a word. "It will get better Harry."
"Sure it will." I didn't feel much like talking to anyone so I decided to silently head back up to the dormitories. I entered my room, threw my things beside my bed, layed down, closed my eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
