SUMMARY: Harry's torn apart from 2 loves. Whom will over rule or will this be the end of our loveable scar head?
The next morning Harry was on his way to the great hall, a smile plastered on his face as he fingered the locket hanging from the intertwined red and green string. The carving on the front was that of a Dragon, whose wings were outstretched holding a lion close. Opening it he found two peddles of a rose, one white and another red, with a clipping of white blond hair tied with a strand of his own hair. On the flip side was a wizard picture of both of them together sitting on the lazy-boy , Draco in his lap leaning back into the embrace Harry had on him with a smug smile that clearly said 'mine'.
Closing the lid he placed it on the inside of his shirt just before a pair of arms grabbed him and forced him into an empty classroom. The door shut immediately behind him and he was slammed against the frame as Ron's angry face stared into his.
"Malfoy. Of all people, Malfoy!"
"Ron? How -" Harry started flabbergasted.
"How did I know? I followed you, you git!" Ron spat as his vice grip tightened enough to cause bruising. "You've been sneaking out every night for Merlin knows how long and since YOU didn't tell me I had followed you."
"You followed me?" Harry's brain quickly caught up with the situation. Anger radiated off him. "You fucking followed ME!" Harry shouted back.
Ron was quickly surprised at the sudden burst seeing as he released his hold and took a step back where Hermione looped their arms together. "Harry calm down." she spoke gently.
"No! Who the fuck gives you the right to follow me! Huh. My love life is no ones concern but mine! Me! As in it does not involve you two because it just doesn't!"
Ron's face reddened before he exploded. "It involves us if it's Malfoy you're shagging!"
"Ron! You're not helping the situation none hon." Hermione said with a glare before she turned and flashed Harry a sad smile.
"Situation? There is no situation. Let me say it again because I know it is very difficult to comprehend." Harry said with as much sarcasm as he could muster when anger was his focus point. "Me. And. Draco." Ron made a face. "Couple. As in, in love! Get over it okay." Hermione opened her mouth to speak but Harry continued. "Don't you start Herm I already know what's going to be said so I'll answer all in one go. I'm In love. Draco is not a Death Eater. He will never be. You are confusing him with his father. No, this isn't fling. This is a long term fling that if possible I would see to it, it will not end. He loves me just as much. No, this isn't some Slytherin ploy to catch me off guard. And finally, yes I'm gay! Satisfied?"
Harry turned to leave but Hermione's calm neutral tone stilled his hands. "Choose Harry. It's either him - or us."
Closing his eyes, Harry managed to will away the hurt that brought with it tears; he refused to cry and answered in just as neutral tone. "Ill be damned If I have to decide on a matter that's none of your concern." Harry walked out. His appetite was gone and he headed to the dungeons where he was more than positive he would be the first for potions class, there was always a first time for everything.
Neville was more than surprised to see Harry voluntarily sit next to him in potions without a complaint. He was more surprised to notice a slip of a tear before it was quickly wiped away as if it never happened.
Draco waited patiently inside the Room of Requirements for his lover during the lunch hour. He hadn't seen Harry in second and third period. Normally Malfoy's weren't worried, Malfoy's never worried, but this Malfoy was beyond worry, he was deathly afraid that something bad was or had happened. He just prayed that Hedwige was able to deliver his letter.
Earlier in the day…
On his way to second period, Charms, Harry was once again manhandled into another empty classroom. Hermione didn't even wait till the door was firmly shut before she started. "What has gotten into you Harry!"
"I'm in love." Was his simple answer. In the back Ron was making gagging noises. "And I'll be damned if I have to choose between a love of a lover or love of friendship. They're hand and hand."
"Well you are going to have to choose mate." Ron said with seriousness. Hermione nodded firmly agreeing with her boyfriend. "Us or him."
Harry looked between the two and laughed. He laughed so hard that he had to support himself on the door frame while tears of mirth leaked out. Soon he managed to calm himself enough to speak and wipe away the tears. "Oh - oh Ron. Never change. You are the most hilarious person I've had the pleasure to meet."
"It's not a joke Harry." Hermione spoke with such conviction Harry ceased his laughter. "We're beyond serious."
"Guys? Come on. You're going to ditch seven years of friendship because I'm involved with Draco?" Harry asked, as panic began to set in.
"No." Ron started. "You are." he finished.
"Harry - truthfully, lovers are disposable but friends, real friends, are lifelong." Hermione said with a shrug.
It felt like a bucket of ice water was thrown on him then seeped through his skin to freeze him inside and out. "Friends." Harry said as his brain slowly began to re-piece itself.
"Yes friends. Us." Ron motioned his hand so he pointed to all three.
Harry smirked as his heart clenched with agony at what he was hearing. Harry spoke in neutral tones refusing to give away anything. "I might have lived most of my life without any but I can tell you what my definition of friends is and tell me if you agree with me. Friends are indispensable; friends are loyal; friends are with you through thick or thin; friends understand one another; friends help you grow; friends accept you regardless of creed, looks, and most importantly friends accept you regardless of whom they choose to spend the rest of their lives with because friends know how to mind their own businesses when it comes to the heart."
Both Hermione and Ron were quiet. "Seeing that sentences are probably too long or not quite up to grade with what you might understand I'll tell you what kind of friends you are." Harry paused as he tried to control the trembling. "Not. Mine." the couples mouth fell open in shock. "Just by you making me decide whom I spend the rest of my meager existence with shows your true colors."
"So." Ron couldn't help the sneer that twisted his lips. "You choose a Malfoy over your best friends?"
"No." Harry said firmly.
"You've changed Harry. The real Harry hated, despised, Malfoy. What happened to the real Harry?" Ron asked.
"He died." Harry said as he took several steps backwards. "He died the day -" No. No. He wouldn't reminisce on the past. "Just remember I never willingly chose one over the other. You made that decision for yourself." Harry turned to leave. His hand was on the knob and he was prepared to turn it, walk out, and never look back.
"Don't!" Hermione cried out. She ran to Harry and wrapped her arms around his waist, cheek pressed against his back. "Please Harry. We love you. All we want is what's good for you."
"He's good for me Herm. He loves me. No ones ever loved me like that." Harry whispered, voice breaking.
"Let him go Herm." Ron said softly from behind.
"No." Hermione said firmly. She turned to face her boyfriend. "I'm not going to let him go and get himself turned into a ferret." Hermione snapped.
"If he wants to break the contract then let him! It'll be his own fault." Ron snapped back.
Harry whirled around to face both 6f them. "What contract?" He asked to the astonishment of both his - well he didn't know what they were to him.
"You don't know?" Hermione asked with wonder.
"Know what?" Harry asked confused as Ron's laughter had his temper coming back.
"Oh man. You had us worried there for a moment mate." Ron side wiping at his brow dramatically.
"What contract!?" Harry said in a near shout.
"The one we signed on your birthday." Hermione started.
"Herm, don't bother. He was too drunk that night anyways." Hermione scowled at Ron before she returned her attention back to Harry.
"On your birthday we all signed a contract. A friend bonding contract." Hermione said to a more than shocked Harry.
"What?" Harry was able to ask.
"A friendship bonding contract that makes it legal that we're best friends. Sort of like a marriage except you know minus the divorce." Her voice sounded chipper.
"Okay - and how does this relate to me being turned into a ferret." asked Harry.
"A consequence of what happens when you break the contract." Hermione explained
"So if I had walked out of that door I would've been turned into a ferret. Is there a counter spell?" Harry asked not knowing how to deal with what was happening.
"No." Both said in unison.
The room was silent and Harry could already feel the pieces of his heart fall apart. If he walked out the door without their friendship then he was bound to be a ferret but if he wanted to be furless then he would have to accept their friendship and loose the love of his life. The only person who ever seen him as him.
"Ever heard of the muggle saying: Keep your friends close but your enemies closer? How close is too close you want to be?" Harry spoke refusing to let them see him cry.
Hermione frowned and Ron walked up to him. He tried to reach out but Harry moved away so his back was pressed against the door. "Think about it Harry. Think of what you'll loose."
"My skin." Harry said not liking Ron's closeness.
"7 years Harry." Ron started. "7 years of knitted sweaters; can you even think about any future year without one made by my mom - our mom?" Harry clenched his teeth together still refusing to let even his once best friend see him cry. "Summers at the Burrow. The twins pranks. Ginny's infatuation. Hugs from a bunch of red heads. Toss the gnome. Moms cooking." Ron smiled and reached out so his hand rested on Harry's shoulder. "The love that not even Malfoy can give you."
Harry's eyes caught Ron's. He couldn't hold it back any longer, the tears slipped and there was no way he was able to stop it. What Ron was saying was true; he couldn't fathom a future without all of the above. And there was no way Draco could give him the love only a mother could considering Draco's own mother and father were dead. But there was something not even the above could give him.
Draco.
Draco filled a whole in his heart and he knew that once that whole was empty again no one else could fill it. Was it worth loosing a piece of himself for the above. Of course he lived 15 years with that whole empty why not the rest of his life; at least he would have the memory. He would have the rest of himself filled with what was offered.
But.
But, no, he couldn't bring himself to leave the man he loved, his soul mate. If he left Draco then Draco would be alone and if he left his friends then he would be just like his Slytherin; both would be alone with only each other for the love and comfort they would surely miss and lack.
His heart came to a decision but his head interrupted. If he chose Draco over his 'friends' then he would be a ferret and there was nothing that would help remedy that issue.
"Harry." Ron snapped his friend out of his daze. "choose: your friends or that Malfoy."
Harry was torn in two. This was going to be the end of him, he just knew it.
Ooh - what'll happen next? Well let's just say it's not all that pretty. *sigh* everything bad always happen to my Harry.
