Story Talk: I am sorry that I have taken so long to update. I hit a writers block when it came to this story. Finally I sat down yesterday and something came to me. I really sorry this chapter isn't going to be really exciting. It is leading to a few other things. The next chapter should have some Harry Draco action. As well as explaining things that I have brought forward in this chapter.
Authoress Ramble: So I am on my way to Chicago right now. My dad is up there for a business trip and my mom decided that we should go up and visit him. So we are on a lovely five hour drive. Although I think that we are nearly there. Well not exactly Chicago. Were right outside of it and we probably won't actually go to Chicago until tomorrow. My dad said that there is some big parade and my mom doesn't want to deal with the rush. I want to go to a few museums though. Like the Art Institute of Chicago. I also want to go to this astronomy museum. My sister however wants to go to the field museum. But she only wants to go to see the T-rex. She didn't even want to go to a museum.
Chapter 3
It had been a week since the first flirting incident and Draco hadn't relented at all. In fact he had become so obvious that Hermione had picked up on it. Ok so maybe Hermione was a bad example. But Ginny had noticed as well. Thankfully Ron was completely oblivious to everything, so he hadn't noticed. But still Hermione had noticed and Harry knew just what that would lead to.
"Harry we need to talk." Wow what a shock, or not.
"About what?" Harry asked, even though he already knew exactly what she was talking about. He didn't want to talk about it though. He would do anything to avoid this discussion. He didn't even want to think about it. He was tired of thinking about it.
"About a certain persons' new infatuation." Hermione said drawing Harry out of his thoughts.
"Someone has an infatuation?" Harry asked attempting to play dumb, but Hermione wasn't buying it.
"Don't play dumb with me Harry James Potter! You know exactly what I'm talking about."
"Alright, alright. Can we not talk about it here though?" Harry looked around the common room. There wasn't a bunch of people in there, but there was enough. And a few of them were looking at them, or at least had been until they saw Harry looking at them.
"Fine, come on. Let's go up to your room." They walked up the stairs in silence Harry didn't really know what to say and Hermione didn't want to give Harry a reason to get off the subject. She knew that he would take it and run with it. So the silence continued.
When they reached the room, they found Dean and Seamus sitting on Ron's bed talking.
"Oh look there are people here. I guess we'll have to talk later." Harry made to walk away, but Hermione grabbed him by the collar.
"Oh no you don't." She turned back to Dean and Seamus. "Get out!" Hermione demanded.
"Excuse me? This is our room. You can't tell us to leave." Dean retorted
"You want to bet?" Hermione asked, pulling out her wand.
"You know what Dean, I just remembered we needed to go to the library."
"You know what I think you're right. Let's go."
As soon as they left Hermione pushed Harry through the door and shut it.
"Now, tell me what you have been up to."
"I haven't done anything." Harry said only to receive a glare from Hermione. "What? Really I haven't done anything."
"You mean you aren't having a secret affair?" Harry raised an eyebrow at Hermione.
"No."
"Oh." She said with a small drop in her voice.
"You sound disappointed." Harry stated.
"Well you are two of the hottest guys in Hogwarts. And well I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't pay to see that." Harry thought about it for a second, then caught himself.
"Hermione that's . . . wrong." His pauses were all that Hermione needed.
"Now if only you really believed that."
"What are you talking about? Of course I believe it. I mean there is nothing to believe, it is the truth."
"Right, because that was believable. Anyway so if you haven't been doing anything what has been up with Malfoy?"
"I don't . . ."
"Harry!" Hermione said warningly.
"Ok, ok! He's been flirting with me."
"Well obviously. I mean why."
"How the hell am I supposed to know." Harry yelled throwing his arms up in frustration. That was exactly what he had been trying to figure out all week.
"Well did you do anything to start it?"
"No! At least I don't remember doing anything."
"When did it start?" Harry thought back.
"It started when I ran into him on my way to breakfast. When I got up to prepare for a fight he was picking up my books. Then he started to pair up with me in classes and I swear to the gods he grabbed my ass yesterday."
"He likes you Harry." Hermione said fight the urge to squeal.
"Hermione it's Malfoy. He was probably just playing with my head."
"Harry when has Malfoy hit on you as a method of torture."
"Since he started going to the annual deatheater meetings, where they discuss how they will torture me, if they ever catch me, and a horny deatheater came up with the idea and forced Malfoy to do it." Harry said crossing his arms over his chest with a pout.
"Do you honestly believe that?"
"No, but I am just fine living in my little fantasy, thank you." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"You know if he is willing to throw his reputation out the window and flirt with you, it might be worth a try." She said as she made her way to the door. When she reached it she opened the door and turned back to Harry. "I know Malfoy isn't him Harry, but your him isn't coming back." With those final words she left.
Harry knew Hermione was right. He wasn't coming back. He wouldn't even look at Harry any more. But if Harry stayed single his chances improved and that was all that mattered. Because Harry was head over heels in love and Blaise had moved on.
Reviewers: I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to update. Thanks for waiting. And I promise that the next chapter will be out soon. I have already started it and am close to finishing. Oh and there will be a trip to Hogsmeade soon. It should be interesting. Hopefully it will make up for the long wait.
Grimy Grunhilda Grunt: I'm sorry that your day was so bad. And you get a cookie for having to watch your mom 'getting down' that should be illegal. More people should review like you. It may have hardly anything to do with my fic, but it is entertaining as all hell.
DragonSlayer820: Glad you liked it. Sorry for the wait,
melodia04: I'm glad you liked it hopefully you liked this one too.
Yana5: I never really thought of that, but I think I could work it in. No promises, but I will try.
Lain-Iris: Yes Draco has been with other guys, but he hasn't stayed with him. However that might not be the case with Harry. Maybe. But I do totally agree, although I think you forgot a few evers and a day. D About the part that you asked about. I think it was made clear in this chapter. Harry likes Blaise. There will probably be some background on it later, explaining why and everthing. And maybe Draco will be all comforting. I'm still deciding.
lampshadesrgreat: What exactly would you do. Play with the persons hair or scare off the person playing with your hair?
zoomaphonethepirate: Glad you like it. Thanks for the review.
Flammy: I'm glad you like it. Hopefully you liked the update just as much.
i L0ve yu under the SKY: Thanks for the review. No the Slytherins had nothing to do with it. Draco just got bored and decided it would be fun. Him and Etriot (I think that is how I spelled it.) are the only people that even know the game exists.
mizukimarr910: First I would like to inform you that I am slashing leo. So if it makes you feel better only two people have stopped at inopportune moments. Although I think they were perfectly opprotune. But that is me.
Ahja Reyn: Sorry for the wait, both times. Yes Harry is about to go crazy, but I think crazy Harry is interesting.
Robin the bird: I do have plans for the classroom seduction and I can not wait to write it, but I don't think I am going to do the detention thing. I think it would end up sounding like White Flag and except for minor things,(like making Draco prefer Drac over Drake.) I try to keep them as different as possible. I don't want you to be reading one fic and be all like oh i now how this will turn out because she did it in the other fic.
Princesspepper: Thanks, I'm glad you think my fic is so original. I try to make them as different as possible from everyone elses. My first though when I plan out my story is, 'Is this something everyone has done?' If the answer is yes the I throw out the idea. I don't have to do that a lot though. Usually my plots are different. I think White Flag is the fic I have written that is the most common. And even then I'm like, 'ok do they usually have to do this? What can I make them do that people usually don't have them do?'. Which was how I got the idea for the bedtime story. The title is actually supposed to be number 1 crush like the song. But the pound sign didn't work. By time I actually figured it out I had already change the plot and was going to change the title anyway. I have a sequel all worked out though and it will be called Number One Crush. This is just kinda like a prelude of a sort.
darkanime14: Thanks, I am glad you like it so much. Sorry for the wait.
