'Harry talk to me.' Ron whispered desperately from his seat across from Harry. The Great Hall was loud and bustling with excitement. Everyone had made it back safely, so there was much to celebrate about. But unfortunately for Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Saved-The-Wizarding-World, his friend Ronald Weasley was bugging the hell out of him. 'Harry, tell me what you were doing with Malfoy in there.'
>

'Ronald, if Harry doesn't want to tell you what happen, he doesn't have to.' piped in Hermione. Harry sent her a thankful look.
>

'But Hermione, we are best friends, we tell each other everything.' Ron argued.
>
>
'Really?'
>
>
'Yes.'
>

'Then do you tell him everything about us?' Hermione countered. Harry looked at his best friend curiously. It was a double edged sword, whatever answer he gave he would lose. Either suffer Hermione's wrath or getting no information from Harry. So he settled to lowering his head and eating his meal.

Hermione turned to Harry and gave him an approving look. She knew what was going on between Harry and Malfoy. She was far from stupid, but she was curious, so she just sat back and watched. The book worm couldn't think of a better match, two enemies from opposite houses. It could be a perfect match. And even if it wasn't, there was no more Dark Lord; Harry could use some trail and error in relationships, if with nothing else.

Hermione could already see Malfoy having an affect on Harry. At the moment the boy had a blush to his face, he was finally eating, and he seemed brighter all together. She would have to thank Malfoy, if his little plan worked out. Harry was like a brother to her and all she wanted was for him to be happy.

That night as Harry and Ron got ready for bed, Ron startled them with an out of the blue question, 'Harry, are you gay?' There was dead silence in the room and everyone waited for the answer.
>
>
'What!' Harry exclaimed.
>
>
'You don't have to hide it from me Harry. I've know for a while. I was just waiting for you to come to me. Why didn't you want to tell me?'
>
>
'What!' he exclaimed again.
>

'Its okay Harry,' came Seamus to Ron's side. 'Your in the wizarding world now, you don't have to fear getting discriminated against. We are much more open minded about things like that. I mean, look at me and Dean.' he finish, putting his arm around the black boy.
>

Harry finally found his voice, 'How could you think of such a thing. When have I ever giving you the idea that I'm gay?' he asked outraged.
>
>
'Well, there was that one time I found that dirty magazine under your bed.' explained Dean. 'It was called "Wands" for crying out loud.'
>
>
'And that time we heard you jacking off and screaming out Snape's name.' Neville put his two cents in. Looking a bit shy at having use 'Snape's name' and 'jacking off' in the same sentence.
>
>
'And remember when we were in the showers seeing who was the biggest. Yours had to be that big for a reason.' Seamus said.
>
>
'Plus, when Malfoy came out of the compartment, he looked like he had been snogged.' concluded Ron.
>
>
'Okay, Okay, I get the point.' said Harry, blushing, not yet gotten over the Snape comment. I mean it was one time. 'But there is nothing going on between Malfoy and me. I mean its Malfoy.' he sat down on his bed and put his head in his hands. 'He's a git.' To his friends, Harry looked rather defeated. Ron sat down by his friend and put an arm around him.
>
>
'It's okay Harry. Malfoy isn't that bad. And I know you like him.' he stopped and took a deep breath. 'And because you really like him, I am okay with you dating him.'
>
>
Harry looked up at his best friend, almost in tears, tears of gratitude. 'Really, mate?'
>
>
'Really. So next time you see Malfoy, give him a big kiss and tell him its because of me he get the second cutest boy in school.' he replied happily.
>
>
'And who's the first cutest boy in school?' asked Seamus.
>
>
'You're looking at him.' said Ron, sticking out his chest to look buff. Everyone in the room laughed their ass off.
