CHAPTER SIX: When the Tears Fall
*******************
Harry's P.O.V.-
*******************
"Draco? Are you ok?" Pansy's voice brought me out of my daydream and back into the real world, where I still sat at the empty Ravenclaw table drinking my sixth cup of coffee.
"Yea, I'm fine."
She sat down next to me and took my hand in her own.
"How do you feel? After all that has happened today, I thought that you would be overjoyed that Harry had told you that he felt the same way that you did." she said softly, so that none of the few people in the Great Hall could hear. "But instead I find you here, sulking and skipping classes!"
"Pansy.... I.... I'm just really confused right now. I'm sorry, but I have to be somewhere." with that said, I got up from the table and headed away from the young Slytherin girl. Not wanting anything more than for what she had said about Draco was true.
After about ten minutes of wandering, I found myself in front of the painting of the fat lady. I hadn't even realised where I was going until now.
"Good morning Harry!" she exclaimed cheerfully as she looked up from something she had been reading. "It's been a while since I had to let you in."
"I'm sorry, I've just had some.... WAIT! You know it's me?!" I jerked my head up to look at her.
"Of course I know who you are... I've guarded the Gryffindor common room for centuries. Know every Gryffindor ever attended Hogwarts. That I do." she responded, a little confused. "Of course your looks have changed a tad, but you still walk and act the same way that you always have."
"Chocolate Butterfiles!" I practically screamed at that moment, and as she opened up so that I could enter I saw a glimpse of myself in her frame. The same blond headed, grey eyed Slytherin that I had looked at for the whole day.
"Draco Malfoy! What in Heaven's name do you think you're doing in the Gryffindor common room!" Lee Jordan exclaimed from where he sat on the couch in front of the fireplace, reading a book. "You not supposed to be in here!"
"Ssshhh... " I held a finger up to my mouth. "I don't mean any harm. I promise. I'm just looking for Harry. I'm sorry."
"Wait... Draco, you've not been yourself lately. Are you alright?" he asked with a hint of sadness in his voice as he got up from the couch and began to make his way over to where I stood.
"I... I... I'm fine... really.... " a tear made it's way down my cheek and I turned my head to keep him from seeing it.
"It's ok." he pulled me into a hug. "I'm not quite sure what your problem is, but it will get better. I promise."
*******************
Draco's P.O.V. -
*******************
The only sound I could hear was my footsteps on the cobblestone as I ran down the road that led to the Quidditch field. //What made me say those things to Harry! He will never love me now, for sure and it is all my stupid prides fault. Why did I have to be such a fool?//
The field was deserted, just like I had hoped it would be. I walked into the locker rooms and slumped to the floor. Then I cried until no more tears would form. After I had stopped crying, I pulled my cloak tight around me.
"Sirius, I swear, I don't know what you're talking about. Harry definaitely hasn't been himself lately."
I jerked upright when I heard Dumbledore's voice nearby.
"You're wrong, Albus. Harry has never been different from how he is now. He's just confused about who he is." A second voice that I could only assume was Sirius's, although I had never heard him talk before. He didn't sound like I had though a murderer would.
"He's been late for almost all of his classes, and that's when he even makes that effort to show up, and he's always writing in that journal of his. I can't make him put it down, not even when I ask him about Quidditch or try to talk to him about Hagrid's new litter of terminal mice."
"I know what you mean, but you also have to understand that Harry is at a difficult time in his life. He sent me a letter last week saying that he thinks that he might like men and not girls. You have to give him his space. This stage won't last. He'll be back to normal before the end of this year. He just needs to figure himself out."
"I hope you're right, Sirius. It wouldn't suprise me if he actualy did like guys though. After all, he's been around you and Remus since his 3rd year." Dumbledore chuckled. "How is he doing anyway?"
"He's fine. I'll tell him you said hi when I get back home. Speaking of leaving, I can't let Harry know that I am here. He'll want me to stay if he knew, and I need to get going pretty soon."
"Sure, Sirius. I understand. You can trust me not to let him know."
"I know I can."
At that time I heard the door to the locker rooms open, and Sirius and Dumbledore walk in. Without thinking, I ran from where I sat on the floor out the other door.
"Wait!" I heard Sirius yell from behind me, but I didn't look back. I just kept going until I was aware of my foot catching a rock, and of the fact that I had fallen and hit my head on something hard.
"Harry? What has gotten into you?" I heard as Sirius lifted me up in his arms and I went unconscious.

A.N. I know I left you all on a cliffhanger, but you'll get your second part soon enought. I promise. ~SlitherinDreams~
