Romance found it's air in Hogwarts that morning. Remus and Ellina were walking hand in hand in Hogwarts garden, roses sprouted behind them with every step they took, by now they had created 700 rose bushes from their love. Ellina never took her eyes off of Remus. It had been a while since they had begun their love. And Remus couldn't possibly be happier.

Ron had bought the gold heart necklace for Hermione. They had been together since those two weeks before when she had spotted it in the window. They were sitting on the edge of the lake with their feet dipped in the water. Leaning on one another and staring out at the sparkling water.

Then there were those who weren't looking for romance. Harry, Fred, and George were running all over the grounds giving candy to every person they could reach. Smiling and laughing in the process.

And then there were those, who couldn't get the romance they desired. Draco was sitting up in the place where he'd taken Tru to learn how to fly. He sighed deeply and plopped another chocolate in his mouth, Tru had given him the box of chocolate he now confided in and a brand new jacket. it was grey in color with a green D on the back.He zipped it up and hid himself from the cold. His hair flew in the wind as he looked out over the cold grounds. For once, there was no snow, just clouds that threatened it. But the bitter cold was a clever warning for it.

Chocolate after chocolate entered Draco's system, drowning his sorrows. No wonder women confided in junk food to drown out heartache, it somewhat worked. He sighed and threw the last wrapper into the empty heart shaped box. That was what his heart felt like. An empty heard shaped box. And the sweetness he wanted to fill it up, couldn't be his. It had been taken away by the word "friendship". he adored Tru's friendship, but he couldn't help but feel pain at the thought of that being all they would EVER have.

But if she was happy this way. then so was he. Even if this was bringing him deep pains in his heart at the very thought.

Tru, Ron, Hermione and Harry had been in the common room playing games like ISpy and 20 questions. Games that normally didn't arouse attention by them. Draco stood to the side, smiling and laughing with them at every right moment. His pretend was going pretty well that whole entire day. But he knew that his pillow would feel his sorrows later.

Harry had been staring over at Tru the entire time. He couldn't take it any longer. "Tru, may I have a word?" Tru smiled and got up. Draco cast a curious glance at them. But tried to ignore it.

Harry took Tru behind the wall that seperated the rest of them with the staircase. "Tru, I've been wanting to talk to you about this all day." "What is it?"

"Well...I think I've fallen in love."

"REALLY?"

"Yes."

"With who?"

"My best friend."

Tru's head jerked back. "RON?"

Harry chuckled. "No." he smiled softly and leaned in. Tru's eyes widened as she felt his lips connect with hers.

A door slamming upstairs startled Harry out of the kiss. Tru's eyes were still wide. "Uh..." was all she could say. "So.." Harry said. "Um..will you...be my girlfriend?" Tru looked away and for some reason...she couldn't think of anything else but this one thing that floated around in her head. "Harry...I can't. You and I are too good of friends and I'm sorry but...I don't know if you really CAN be in love with me. Maybe you're just still trying to get over Cho. Don't you think?"

Harry smiled and hugged her. "You're right. Maybe I am just thinking a little ahead of my league. Listen I'm so-"

"You don't have to apologize. Dont' worry I've thought the same thing before. We all make mistakes."

Harry smiled. He was surprised how none of what she was saying was hurting him at all. So they decided to join the group again. Tru's eyes searched for Draco, but he wasn't there. "Where'd Draco go?" Ron shrugged and Hermione said "Well he was standing over there by the wall for a while, he like turned around it a little and then he just ran up to the dorms.

Trus' brow furrowed and Harry gasped. "I think I'll talk to him." he said and he ventured his way up to the dorms.

He knocked on the door before he entered. Draco was over by the window, his hand pressed to the glass. "Draco...hey..wh-what's wrong?" he asked as he approached him. "Draco looked at him, eyes bloodshot and fresh tear trails on his cheeks. "Whoa , come on what's wrong?" Harry asked sitting in front of him.

"Heh...you always had a way of getting what I couldn't Harry." Draco said. "What're you talking about?" Harry asked bewildered. "You always had better friends than I did. You always won Quidditch matches. You always got better grades than I did. You always had people that were there to love and care about you without throwing bones and sticks and stones at you. And now you've got her." Draco almost sobbed the last words out of his mouth.

Harry put a hand on his shoulder, surprisingly, Draco did nothing to prevent that. "Hey...I didn't always have everything. And I understand how you feel. Living with the Dursleys is no picnic, and I'm sure living where you did was none either." Draco's eyes snapped to him in surprise. "You talk in your sleep." Harry chuckled. Draco turned away. "And what do you mean 'now I've got her'?"

"Tru. You kissed her. And I'm sure she's madly in love with you now and you're going to go out and get married and grow old together." Draco said. "Hey...she refused me. She said she can't because we're too good of friends and I was just lightly infatuated with her. And she's right, I'm still getting over Cho. Kind of..." Harry trailed off and then looked back at Draco. "But I don'd mind." Draco still wasn't looking at him. His eyes trailed the sky, which was now gushing snow out onto the grounds. He sighed and looked at Harry. "I'm only telling you this because I trust you." he sighed again and pressed his hand to the window.

"Christmas, when I told you to get the brooms out so I could teach Tru to fly, when we were done...I fell in love with her." Harry's eyes grew wide. "Really?" he asked. Draco's eyes met his. "Yes. Truly. And I don't have clue what to do. She just wants to be friends..."

" Did she tell you that?"

"Yes."

"Did you tell her how you felt?"

Draco sputtered and then turned away. "No...no I didn't." Harry smiled and said "Well maybe, if you do, she'll come around. Tru has a way ofnot knowing things consiously until she's told something. Then she knows for certain." Draco looked at him. "What does that mean?" Harry smiled and stood. "When you tell her how you feel, you'll know whether she feels the same or not. She may already, she just might not know it right now." and with that, he walked out. Draco heard him telling everyone that he was asleep and wasn't feeling very well. At this moment, Draco had a sudden higher respect than before of this boy who used to be his enemy.

It's good to know...that there are people out there that I can trust.
