chapter 15: The Devil Returns

(A/N: w00t. an update. enjoy :)

Anger overrode harry instead of shock. "Parkinson, get the hell out of here!" Harry roared, making the girl's eyes go wide. "I said out!" he boomed again, sending her back up the stairs from where she came.

As he calmed down, he spun around and faced Draco, who was standing there looking very uncomfortable. Harry looked down and shifted from foot to foot. "I...I.." Draco hesitated, "I have to go." he said, and he turned and walked quickly out the door.

Harry watched him leave, then he walkd slowly up to the slytherin dorm room. He looked around and was glad no one else was there.

He laid down on the four poster bed and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought. 'I ruined it. I can't believe I did what I just did. I ruined the little trust between us.'. At that, harry drifted off into a fitful sleep.

Draco walked out of the portrait hole and kept his head down as he walked. 'oh god. what did I do? How could I let him do that to me. oh god. I am so going to regret this tomorrow.' He was thinking to himself as he kept walking. "God. what would Hermione think? I truly do like her." he mumbled to himself.

He mentally kicked himself for going back to the Slytherin dorm room.

He kept replaying the scene in his mind as if it were in slow motion. He was so absorbed in tormenting himself with knowing a guy kissed him , that he wasn't paying attention to where he was going, and ran into people coming from the opposite direction.

For the second time that day, he almost fell, but he just stumbled backwards. He looked up to see NeVille, Seamus, Pavarti and Lavender Brown looking at him oddly.

"What?" he said, looking at the four of them. "Harry, are you ok?" Pavarti asked, staring at him. "Yeah Harry. You have seemed different since school began."Seamus said, as the other three nodded in agreement.

"You can tell us, you know. we won't say anything. but..."NeVille said, twisting his fabric from his cloak in his hands, "Does it have anything to do with Malfoy?"

"Draco nodded. :"I am fine guys. Nothing is wrong, and no, it has nothing to do with that slimy git, Malfoy." He said, making a face at the thought of the scene a few moments before.

Lavender raised her eyebrow at him. "We are asking because both of you are acting strange, and Malfoy has been staring at you in the Great Hall for the past few days." she added, studying him closely.

"What did you need to see malfoy so urgently about about 20 minutes ago?"Seamus asked, as if he was interrograting a witness.

He looked at the 2 girls and guys in disbelief. "Why do you care? What is it to you? All of you need to stay out of my personal business." he said in a low voice. NeVilles eyes went wide, as the other three were taken aback.

NeVille pointed at him. "I knew it. Malfoy did something to you, didn't he? What was it?"

Dracos gaze hardened. "I said stay out of my business." At that, harry walked passed them, not once looking back.

Draco stared down at his plate, moving the food around. He could tell harry was staring at him. He had a feeling he has been doing that since he entered the great hall. He was getting annoyed, as pavarti kept whispering it to him that he was looking.

Draco sighed, and hermione looked over at him from her conversation with Ginny. "Harry, what's....?" She never got to finish her sentence, because at that moment the Great Halls doors opened and in walked a girl with a suitcase in each hand.

Draco gasped, as Ron moaned.

"Crap. Blaises here." Draco said, as Rom, Hermione, and Ginny both looked at him.

'God, she is 4 days early. What am I going to do?' he thought to himself, as he looked over at harry, who also looked back at him, a small worry showing on his face.

"I have to go, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny." He said quickly, and stood up. " I will talk to you in the common room."

Draco looked over at Harry, as he stood up also.

"Draco!!" Blaise said, a high pitched shrill coming out. Harry almost had a whiplash attack turning to look at her. Draco contained the small laughter inside of him, as she ran over to him.

She kissed him hard on the lips and made him sit back down, Blaise speaking to him in a low but excited voice.

Draco turned, and walked down the isle and out into the hall, and looked back at harry, as he saw him watching him again. He was nodding, pretending to hear at different times.

"Bathroom" Draco mouthed, and turned around and headed to the first flight of stairs. As he entered the bathroom, he hit the wall as hard as he could. He didn't even notice the pain, and he sat on the sink and waited, rumaging in his pockets.
