Thursday, week 3, Chamber of Secrets

"Hello Ginny."

"Hi Harry."

"You know Ginny, I'm realizing something."

"What?"

"Well, Even after everything, The Sorcerer's Stone, The diary, the Graveyard, The Department of mysteries, I'm scared. I don't think I've ever been scared before'

"What are you scared of."

"Getting stuck, forgetting who I am, I don't want that to happen. I want to just be me. That's hard enough being who I am, but it's twice as hard being Draco."

"Harry..." Ginny placed a hand on his cheek, and closed the gap between their lips. "It's all right to be scared. You don't always have to be the rock that everyone thinks you are. I know you're not. I also know that you try, and you try pretty damn hard, and every one out there who doesn't know you as well as I do thinks that you are that strong. But I know it's all an act. I 'm scared too. I don't want to lose you. I don't think I could stand that. I really don't."

"Harry?" Hermione's voice echoed through the chamber.

"How much longer 'Mione?" He asked when she got closer to them.

"It just needs to sit for about three more weeks, and then it'll be ready."

"Okay then, only three more weeks as a dumbass Slytherin."

Saturday, week 3, Gryffindor common room.

"Hello Hermione, can I talk to you for a second."

"Sure 'Harry'." She followed Draco up the stairs and into the little room they had discovered. "What is it Draco?"

"I... I don't know. It's just this thing about the whole change back- I'm having mixed feelings about it."

"What?"

"Well, I can't wait to get back to my own body but... If I go back, I doubt I'll ever be able to talk to you like this again. I'd miss that."

"I can still talk to you Draco."

"It won't be the same."

"It will never be the same." Hermione leaned up and kissed him gently. "It will never be the same. You'll always be you, and I'll always be me, but it will never again be the same. Even if you go back to being the way you were, or worse, I'll never forget what happened, and I doubt that you will either."
