Chapter 2

"Shocked"

Draco and I sat in silence for most of the rest of the conversation I was there for. I was so shocked and hurt. I didn't want to admit at the time that I was hurt…but it did hurt. It hurt to see that Draco had found true happiness and that he had only had a few dates here or there. The ultimate commitment, and Draco was taking it. The only problem was, it was with the wrong person. He should be that person. He should be the one announcing to his friends, that he and Draco were getting engaged. No, Harry had to be happy now. He was the one who ended the whole thing a year and a half ago. It was his turn to hurt now, and he knew, that this was his just desert.

Harry went over to his bed and picked up the book he was reading earlier, when an owl came through the open window, that cool breezy night. Harry bent over the bed to take the letter and he fed the owl a piece of his cookie, a bedtime snack that he had neglected. He flipped over the letter and it had the Malfoy family crest on it.

Dear Harry,

Oh, I hope you aren't upset. I know this is sudden, and it just seemed so quiet at the table after Sam had left. I was wondering if there was anything I could do, or if there was anything wrong. Please, write me back.

Draco Malfoy

He looked at the letter and read, then reread it over again. Was it that obvious that he still had feelings for Draco? Disgusted with the truth he through the letter distastefully on the floor, and continued reading until he fell asleep to his own dreamland, where things as complicated as this, didn't exist.

(a/n: Italics are now Harry's dreams)

It was a quiet afternoon at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Harry was walking alongside the lake, and the light breeze blew through his unruly hair. Suddenly. "Hey Babe." said Draco and he pulled Harry back into a deep kiss. They walked on holding hands. Then they went inside, because it started to storm. They went to Draco's prefect room, and he sat playing with Draco's hair. Then suddenly 'dream Harry' realized what was happening. He had been given a second chance to erase the engagement, the break-up, all his pain. He leaned down to Draco and kissed him all the way up from the neck, onto his mouth. Draco, he mouthed. I will never leave you, you mean everything to me. I love you. Slowly Draco turned around and looked with a half-hearted smile. Harry he said, pulling away. Where is this going.

BRIIIIIIINNNNGGG

Harry shut off his alarm clock. He sat up and rubbed sleep away from his eyes. What just happened…now he remembered. His dream flooded through his memory banks once more. What does it mean though? Does it mean that…If I didn't do it, then he would have? How would I know that though? Does it mean that…I am meant to be alone? I don't know. At that precise moment an owl dropped in the window, this time, it was Hedwig. "Hedwig, you old bird" Harry said affectionately feeding the bird crumbs from last night's cookie. The bird nipped at him affectionately back. Then he stuck out his leg, and Harry took the letter attached. There was no crest on it so he knew this time, that he had escaped Malfoy and his little assumptions, no matter how right they were. He tore open the letter recognizing the writing at once.

Dear Harry,

Hi how are you? Have a steady job yet? You really should Harry. I don't know what's …anyway, I just wanted to see how you were doing, Draco called us and told us about telling you about his engagement to Sam. How are you? Anyway, I wanted to formally invite you to stay at the Burrow. Mom and Dad…I mean Mr. and Mrs. Weasely the first, are out of town and Ron and I thought you could use it.

Hermione

Her penmanship was still the same, neat and precise lettering he had always known it to be. And there it was again! The Assumption that he was doing so horribly because he just possibly could not be happy for Draco. He hated how well people knew him. Oh, he knows it sounds horrible, but he didn't really mean it as a derogatory thing. He sighed and picked up some handy parchment and a quill with ink, and began to write back to Hermione.

Dear Hermione,

I am looking for employment and think I will just go ahead and accept Ron's offer on a job. But just temporarily! Anyway, thank you for your concern, but I would much rather you come back here, then me go to the Burrow. Love you as always, and say hello

to Ron for me. Thank you very much.

Harry

He put his post on Hedwig's leg and then sent it out to the burrow. Moments after it flew out, Harry heard a familiar 'poof' sound coming from the living room...where the fireplace was located. He cursed himself for the millionth time for not getting his home disconected from the floo network, when the old owners sold him this place.

"Hello?" Harry called, crossing into the room.

"Harry! How are you? I just got your letter, and I won't take any of that rubbish about you wanting us to come! The Burrow is plenty big enough for all of us, and we insist that you come." Hermione said, frighteningly sounding alot like Ron's mom.

"Hermione, I would love to, but I have some business to attend to." He said.

All it took was one frightening from Hermione he came through the floo. He went first, so that Hermione knew he would come.

Burrow

"Harry, Hermione!" Ron greeted them as they came through the fireplace. "You're just in time for dinner. Come on, to the dinner table!"

"Guys, really, I must go back to my place, I was..." Harry began, but was cut off.

"Was what Harry? Searching for a job? I don't think so, now you just..." but it was Harry's turn to cut her off.

"JUST WHAT? SIT DOWN? BE IN A CHEERY MOOD JUST FOR YOU GUYS? HOW? HOW IS IT EVERYTIME I LOVE SOMEONE MY HEART GETS RIPPED OUT AND TORN TO PIECES RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME? FORGET IT! Just...forget it." Harry yelled out, as tears streamed down his face.

"Harry..." Hermione tried to begin, gently.

"No, I'm leaving...Ron, Hermione...Thank you, but I must go now" he said as he wiped more tears from his eyes. With that, he turned, grabbed some floo powder, and went home.

Hermione called a few hours later, to see if Harry made it ok.

"It's alright 'mione" Harry said, recalling her childhood name "I'm just a little shocked."
