Hello, everyone, and thanks for taking the time out to read this story. I really appreciate it! I don't really have anything to say, so, I'll just get one with my story!

The First Cut is the Deepest

Chapter 7

"Harry, have you been cutting yourself?"

Harry yanked his arm from Draco's grip, and pulled down his sleeve.

"So what if I have!"

"Harry! Why? You need help!"

"I don't need anything!"

"Harry! Your cutting yourself! That's so wrong!"

Harry was silent as Draco stared at him.

"Harry! I don't think that your life is really that stressful! I'm sure it is, but not enough to hurt yourself!"

"How would you know!"

"Because I've had to go through some of the same stuff as you, and worse! I was close to cutting myself, but I never did!"

"So your saying that you've lost all of you family, your friends, and your destined to die in your 7th year facing the most evil wizard of all time!"

"No."

"Then how could your life be worse? Your friends don't hate you!"

"I have no real friends."

"You don't have to face the greatest Dark Wizard alive!"

"No, but I'm forced to help him."

"And you have family!"

"Only my father. He killed my mother, and abuses me."

Harry stopped, and his face became still.

"I'm so sorry, Draco."

"No, it's nothing!" he said sarcastically, turning to head back up to the castle. "My life isn't worth anything, but just because you're Harry Potter, you're everyones favorite. You're life is way more important than mine, as are your words!"

"DRACO!"

"NO, HARRY! WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS WRONG! IF YOU THINK THAT YOUR LIFE IS SO HORRABLE, MAYBE YOU NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK IN THE MIRROR!"

"DRACO!"

But Draco didn't stop. He walked right through the front doors, and disappeared from Harry's sight.

"SHIT!" Harry shouted, kicking the dirt on the ground with the toes of his shoe. "SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!!!"

Eventually, Harry walked back into the castle. It was late, and he had missed dinner. Little did he know, that someone else wasn't at dinner as well.

"Harry, I've been looking for you for ages!" Hermione called to him when he walked through the portrait hole. "We need to talk!"

"So now you want to talk?" Harry asked when she stopped in front of him.

"Please?" Hermione begged.

After a minute, Harry nodded, and they walked over to one of the Common Room couches, sitting down next to each other.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"I was a bit too harsh on you."

"Yeah you were!"

"Harry, please. I'm trying to appologize, and you're not helping any."

"Sorry."

"Anyway, Justin heard our conversation, and he thought that I was wrong. He said that you were trying to appologize, and I wasn't listening. I should have accepted your appology! Sorry!"

Hermione hugged him quickly.

"Is that all you wanted to say?" Harry asked, tierd of her lame excuses. He was still mad at her from earlier.

"Actually, no! You see, while Justin and I were in the library, we saw you out on the school grounds. With someone else."

Harry's heart started beating rapidly.

'She knows!' he thought. 'She knows about me and Draco!'

"With who?" Harry asked nervously.

"Malfoy. Harry, why were you out there with him?"

"Hermione, I don't know how to tell you this..."

"Tell me what? You weren't fighting again, were you? You know its not allowed..."

"No, Hermoine. It's not that."

"What is it?" Hermione asked, scared.

"Hermione, I'm gay."

I know, I know, it wasn't a lot, but at least I got it up! And both chapters in the same day! Yeah, me! I know, maybe Lucius didn't really kill Narcissa in the Harry Potter books, but it's possible that it could have happened over the summer. Anyway, thanks for reading. Please, please, please review. Love ya! Peace! ~Dan's Mandy
