A/n:

I'm about to go out so I'll probably only get the author's notes of this done, but hey at least it's a start! I hope in my absence Sarah has uploaded the chapter that I wrote the other day and I think that I sent her and has started on her chapter of Strawberry window SHADE! (S/N: I have! I have! Terribly...)I'm in desperate need of a manicure my nails are really yuck! I'm going over to Cal's house tonight even though his mum hates me! YaY! And you so don't care so I guess I shall start on this chapter now! I love you all for listening to my rambling! I love YOU!

'All day long I dream about sex and all night long I think about sex and all the time I think about sex with you, with YOU!'

(S/N: Yeeeeeeeees...)

Chapter 26 - Sarah doesn't know what to write here...

Harry sat down at the Gryffindor table for dinner that night and sighed very heavily. It had certainly been a long day! He let his eyes stray towards the Slytherin table where he saw that Draco hadn't come to dinner yet. He then glanced at the Ravenclaw table and saw that Alex was missing and Cho was smirking at him and looking rather smug.

He gave her a withering stare and rolled his eyes before he focused his attention down at his plate of food.

He had just begun eating when Hermione and Ron walked into the hall, Hermione looked as if she was nagging Ron about something and to Harry's surprise the red head walked up to where he was seated at the table and looked down at his feet.

Hermione followed him and nudged him slightly before she sat down next to Harry and smiled sweetly.

"Hi Harry," Ron mumbled, still looking down at his feet.

Harry struggled not to laugh, "Sorry, Ron? You're mumbling, I can't understand you..." he said and he was distinctly sure that he heard Hermione snigger slightly.

Ron cleared his throat and looked up at Harry, "I'm sorry I cracked it over you being gay, I was being stupid and immature and I should've been there to support you." He said, reciting what sounded like a pre-rehearsed, Hermione written speech.

Harry smiled, "And you accept me for who I am and no matter who I chose to date, you will stick by me like a true best friend should?" he prompted, letting his laughter escape his lips.

"Yeah, yeah and all of that crap!" sighed Ron as he sat down between Harry and Hermione and began to pile his plate with food.

Harry felt as if an enormous weight had been lifted from his shoulders, but deep down there was still something worrying him. At least now he had his best friend back.

Ron nudged him with his elbow, "So when will I be formally introduced to the boyfriend?" he asked, still sounding a bit queasy about the subject of Harry having a boyfriend.

Harry sighed, "Actually, I'm single now, Ron" he said and winked at his red-haired best friend.

Ron backed away from Harry slightly, looking apprehensive but Hermione gasped and gave Harry a 'You will tell me everything later" look.

Harry smiled at them both, "Alex just didn't turn out to be the guy I thought he was, and I wasn't going to stay with a cheater." He explained, just then the doors opened and Alex walked in sporting a very swollen black eye. Cho gasped and ran to him and started to fuss over him and Hermione gasped again as they both gave Harry death glares.

"He cheated on you with Cho Chang?" she gasped, causing a few people to look in their direction. Harry smiled at her and nodded, then turned to face the Slytherin table where Draco was staring at Alex's black eye in admiration, but at the same time glaring at his Public Display of Affection with Cho. Harry smiled to himself at the loyalty of that boy; he was truly a good friend.

He caught Draco's eye then smiled, before getting up and excusing himself from the table.

"Come around later if you like, but make sure you knock." Said Harry and he winked at Hermione who began to blush, realizing what he was thinking.

As Draco saw Harry stand up and leave the hall, he finished off his meal and excused himself from the table as quickly as he could and followed his roommate up to their tower.

I'm really bad at writing at the moment and I haven't had the internet so this hasn't had a chance to get up, but I decided that I will take it to school and email it to Sarah so it has a slight chance of getting to you guys before I get the internet back. We've had heaps of time on the internet at school lately so I can probably get it to you eventually and we're getting the internet this weekend! Yay! I love you all and I have been checking on reviews occasionally and I love the feedback that I'm getting!
