SUMMARY: Harry's torn apart from 2 loves. Whom will over rule or will this be the end of our loveable scar head?
"I don't mean to complain. But why do you always sit next to me?" Neville asked Harry as he watched his room mate cut Silk Weed in fine strips.
"Because you seem like a real friend than most friends." Harry answered as he concentrated on his work. Neville wasn't expecting his answer so he remained quiet trying to figure out what was the meaning behind it.
Minutes before Snape had strolled into the class, robes flapping behind him while he barked out orders for a potion called No Depress. As the Professor sat in his seat his focus was on Harry. Other students were pre-occupied with their own assignments to even notice.
As the class progressed Snape grew increasingly alarmed. First was the fact that Harry didn't sit in-between his two friends, second was the fact Harry had no qualms sitting so close to Neville where other students tried to inch their tables away just in case. More so, the boy seemed to rest every few minutes with short breaths while his partner would glance at him with concern. On more than one occasion Neville had placed his hand over Harry's when grasping a bowl that quivered slightly.
It seemed no major 'Neville related' accidents happened since the boys attention was more focused on Harry who smiled gratefully several times. Near the end of class Snape had to stop himself from bouncing out of his chair when Harry seemed to stagger from his standing position but once again Neville was there to catch him and whisper something in the boys ear. Harry sat down paler than a minute before while Neville finished cutting the Gingly Root and adding it while stirring twice counter clockwise.
Capping the solution in a glass vile for another class Neville cleaned up, firmly whispering to Harry to remain seated with a threat of adding an ingredient and blowing up the contents of the cauldron. Not only did the useless potion student hurriedly pack his bag but that also of Harry's they were the first to leave the class.
"Mr. Malfoy. A word with you a moment please." Snape said as the class began to file out. Draco nodded for his two guards to leave. As the door closed behind them Snape turned a curious eye to the boy in front of him.
"Yes professor?" Draco asked calmly.
"From the last I heard you and Mr. Potter were an item. Can you tell me what illness or problem is happening with the boy?" Snape asked sitting back in his chair.
Draco bit at his bottom lip while he looked down at the floor for a brief moment before answering. "Well, me and Potter are no longer an item sir." the shock that ran through Snape was well hidden. "And as for Potter's well being I haven't noticed nothing wrong. My time is spent elsewhere, there's no need for me to expressing any interest of that particular person." The words were true. Draco paid no attention to Harry, it would hurt too much to do so.
"Very well then. You are excused." Snape said while his mind raced with possibilities of how such a relationship ended.
As Draco was halfway to the door curiosity took him. Turning, he once again faced the professor. "Professor? Why did you ask?"
"If you are no longer interested in Potter then why would I tell you Mr. Malfoy?"
"Just curious is all Professor." Draco quickly made his exit repeatedly telling himself he no longer cared.
"I told you Neville I am fine." Harry reassured as he rested against his friend as he was being dragged back to the Gryffindor tower.
"Oh really? Is nearly fainting in class fine?" Neville asked mentally noting the lightness of the boy leaning against him. His arm was wrapped around Harry's waist and he sadly noted that when he moved his hand slightly up he could trace a rib.
"Untrue." Harry wanted to protest more but he was too tired to do so.
"Is that so?" Neville questioned with a hint of feigned amusement.
"You're teasing me aren't you?" Harry saw little spots in front of his eyes. What if I reached out and grabbed one?
Neville's mouth opened to retort but a harsh hit on his shoulder from an arm had him trip in place causing Harry to fall forward. Luckily Harry had the sense to break the fall with his hands rather than his face.
Draco laughed. If anyone asked him why he did what he did he would lie. He would never admit his jealousy when he rounded a corner to see students staring at Harry Potter who was resting against Neville Longbottom who had no shame in wrapping an arm around the smaller boy. Anger and jealousy never mixed well with a Malfoy.
"Ah look. Nevy and Potty." Taunted Draco as he squatted in front of Harry who was reaching for his glasses. Draco grabbed them and held them in his hands. "Looking for these Potter?"
"Leave him alone Malfoy!" Neville made to help Harry up. "Are you okay Harry?" He said in a gentler tone.
Harry nodded his head yes before he lifted it and stared at Draco. It was the first time Draco ever truly looked at Potter and he didn't like what he saw. It was most likely a cosmetic illusion charm but he knew that under the magic Harry looked like shit. The only real fault was the light circles under the eyes and the eyes themselves.
Draco was truly frightened by what he saw. He didn't see nothing and that was the problem. There was no contempt, no anger, or sadness, just empty faded green eyes that could've belonged to a corpse. Before Draco could reach out, Neville had helped Harry up and resumed the position they were before except this time with a sturdier hold.
"Move out of the way Malfoy." Neville said with force that it made some of the students actually gasp because they never knew of Longbottom to be of any kind of threat.
Draco complied but not before he replaced the glasses on Harry's face, to the shock of those who were around, allowing his fingers to graze against cool skin. He notice the flutter of Harry's lashes and the flash of disappointment on his face before it disappeared to nothing.
Neville continued on his way ignoring those who were openly staring at both boys. He wasn't ignorant of the transaction of what happened between Harry and Draco. It only confirmed his suspicion of long ago that those two were a couple, well, were a couple.
