Harry has been dodging Ron all week long, he knew exactly what Ron was going to say, but he didn't want to hear it. Harry had to much stuff on his mind, he knew if he let Ron say what he wanted to say it would only cause problems. He has also been dodging Malfoy, he knew that he had hurt him, just to save face. What was I suppose to do, tell truth? I can't tell the truth the truth is worse then a lie.
He was walking to potions when he felt someone grip his left forearm, he turned to see Malfoy. " I need to talk to you," the look in malfoy's eyes wasn't angry, but pitiful. Why would he pity me, he should hate me not pity me. Malfoy led Harry to an empty classroomand just looked at him. This wasn't just any look, but one of those looks that hurts, that makes you know you really srewed up. Harry couldn't stand to look back at Malfoy it would tear him up. He was prepared to fall onto his knees and beg Malfoy to forgive him, and to love him again as he once did. "Harry, I know that you love me, I know that what you said was only to keep face. I know that I love you, oh god how I love you." Malfoy moved closer to harry and gently stroked Harry's cheek with his hand. " I also know that until you can live with the knowledge that you and I care and love each other so much , that it doesn't matter if the whole world new, you could and would still love me. I know that I could, I know that nothing, nothing could ever keep me from loving you. Wheather it was the stupid names that people could call me or the dissapoinment and abuse from my father, I will still love you. Until you can freely express your feelings toward me without hiding, I can't have a relationship with you. If I have to wait forever, I will wait, but please don't make me wait forever. Forever is I long time and my heart needs you to survive , so please...hurry." Malfoy dropped his hand from Harry's face and left,"Draco-," he was already gone.
Harry had spent two classes and lunch in the boy's bathroom, he felt terrible and looked worse. "Harry?" His spirits lifted, was it Malfoy, had he changed his mind? Harry left the stall and walked by the entrance to see Ron.
"Harry, the other day i tried to tell you, but I..." Harry put a finger to his lips,"I'm sorry, I panicked, I didn't want to hear, I knew what you were going to say, but I wasn't ready to hear it, from you at least. You've been my friend since our first year,my friend. I never thought of you as more then that, until you almost let slip three words that surely you couldn't of meant. You care for Hermione, you and I both know that you do, you told her that you loved her that you cared for her. You do not love me in the same way that you love her, you think that you do." "Harry, you're right I don't love you in the same way that I loved Hermione. I love you more, much more then I could ever love her or any girl." Ron came towards Harry gripped his arm and pulled him close to him. "Harry I love you," Ron's lips were warm against harry's, Harry tried to pull back, but in the end gave in. He melted into Ron and kissed him back.
