Chapter 6: Out of the closet with banners and sparklers

Harry's picnic with Draco was mostly snogging and a bit of eating. The duo had become closer since their run in with Ron, and was ready to face the school. Everyone in school would probably know Harry and Draco was an "item" before they even returned to Hogwarts.

As the sun set over the hills, Harry pushed himself up off the blanket. "Well Draco, this was fun. I really feel comfortable with, this, whole thing." Harry reached out his hand and help Draco up.

"I'm glad. I knew you'd come around, I mean, who could resist this." Draco ran his hands up and down his body as Harry laughed. Who knew Draco was so charming.

Harry grabbed the blonde's hand and led him back down to the main path. It was time to go back to school and face the music.

"Harry, I have something I need to confess." This time Draco was the one who started down at his shoelaces.

"What is it? You can tell me anything." Harry massaged Draco's shoulder. Hopefully it was just something silly, and wouldn't interfere with Harry's new feelings.

"Can you meet me tonight in the dungeons. I want to tell you in private." Draco looked around at the swarms of students around them, all-glaring at the two holding hands. "Near Snape's room."

"Yeah, sure." Harry suddenly became concerned. Did he want to break up with me already? Am I that bad a kisser? What could I have done?

The two headed back to the castle together. They didn't care who saw them, because they could no longer deny their feelings. Suddenly a squealing voice came running with behind them.

"Harry! Harry!" The red headed girl grabbed him by the back of the collar. "I heard from Ron. Everyone did." Her green eyes shone brightly at Harry. Ginny Weasley."And I just wanted to say that no matter what you are, I'll always be your friend. And, I'll apologize for my brother, he can be a real prick sometimes." Then she took off in the crowds.

"Wow, it's starting already." Draco said. He had another glint in his eye and decided to stir up more trouble. He casually placed his hand on Harry's behind and gave it a loud slap.

Harry stood frozen as everyone around them heard the noise. Everyone looked at the two, as Draco stood laughing crazily. "He likes it rough!" Draco yelled. The students around them slowly got back to their own drama and moved on from the scene.

"Draco, you're a trouble maker, and I like it." Harry said seductively.

"I know you do. Remember, meet me tonight at 10." Draco then leaned in and gave Harry a small peck on the cheek. Harry's tan complexion absorbed a deep red, all the way to the tips of his ears.

The two separated once at the castle. Harry headed up to the Gryffindor common room; he needed to talk to Hermione. Since his feelings with Draco finally emerged from within himself, Harry need to confess them to Hermione.

As he ran up the flights of stairs Harry saw a lanky red head out of the corner of his eyes. Ron. Harry followed his first instinct and flick off Ron and grabbed his crotch in his direction. "Hi Ron! Love ya!" Harry yelled as loud as he could through the stairs. It echoed all the way down, causing many students to look in their direction. Ron stood still then ran into the nearest classroom, the white draining from his face.

Harry finally made it to the fat lady portrait, which preferred to be called 'curvaceous'. As he entered the room, no Hermione was in sight. Harry decided to leave a note telling her to meet him in his bedroom. He didn't feel like being ridiculed while he waited.

The boy's dorm was messy, except for Harry's area. The beds were all in disarray, clothes strewn on the floor, and posters of Quidditch teams half peeling off the wall. Harry grabbed his Discman and popped in My Chemical Romance. Harry listened to I'm Not Okay, which he thought fit his situation perfectly. He sat head banging on his bed until he felt a small tap on his shoulder.

"Oh hey Hermione." He said while setting down his player. "I need to talk to you."

Hermione nodded and sat closely next to Harry. She placed her hand on his lap and looked into his intense green eyes. "Harry, I also need to give you something." She leaned in to Harry's pink lips but was pushed away by his strong hands.

"Hermione. You need to listen. I'm sure you have probably already heard the rumors about me." Harry looked at Hermione's emotionless expression.

"No." She said confused.

"Hermione, I'm gay." Harry stopped and looked at her. "And I like Draco, and we're kinda, um, going out, I guess you could say."

Hermione's mouth fell open as she just glared at Harry. After a few moments she finally got her thoughts together. "Um, that's fine Harry. That thing between us, was just, um, you confused. I understand." Hermione's eyes welled as she ran from the room. Harry sighed at the webs he continued to weave. He felt a wave of hunger wash over his stomach and decided to head down to dinner.

As he ran down the stairs all the students just stared at him. News traveled fast at Hogwarts. Finally, after the piercing glares from his peers he reached the Great Hall, where he was met again with stares. Harry saw Ginny and Dean sitting at the end of the Gryffindor table and grabbed the open seat next to them.

"Um, Hi Ginny." Harry looked at her friendly expression. "You don't mind if I sit here do you?"

"No, of course not." She said, giving Dean the Weasley mother look. He shut his open mouth then grabbed food, saying nothing. You could say Dean was whipped.

"Thanks." Harry ate the rest of his meal in silence, as Ginny continually gave Dean glares. Harry was bored so stole a glance over at the Slytherin table. Draco was sitting alone at the end, free of his usual goons nearby. Harry sent him a sympathetic look, and Draco mouthed the words, "I'm sorry." Then he got up, held up ten fingers, and left the hall.

What is he sorry about? Harry thought. Maybe it's just everyone starting. Yeah, that's it. Harry then said bye to Ginny and headed up to his dorm. He would stay there until ten o'clock, when he's to meet Draco. He wanted those lips again, and he couldn't wait.
