Lying Or Telling The Truth
Chapter 4:
Draco woke up for yet another day of school. Luckily Wednesdays were his favourite days; he had double potions in the morning (with the Gryffindors), followed by Ancient Runes. Then lunch and he had the afternoon off. He walked over to Blaise's bed, "Blaise, you sleepy head! Get up!" and to exaggerate this he kicked the boy in the side resulting in the brunette falling of the other side of the bed.
"Ow, Drake, you didn't have to kick me!"
The blond only smirked before heading towards the showers.
While Draco was in the Great Hall eating breakfast he noticed Harry wasn't there, he became really worried. "Uh...Draco, I'm changing the date the bet is due, okay? It'll be due next Monday the 11th, do you mind?"
"Nope, not at all, I've got it all planned out." Draco smiled and looked back over at the Gryffindor table where his lover was still absent. The blond sighed, picked up his books and left.
Draco sat down in his usual spot in the potions room. Once the rest of the class came in Snape took attendance, going through the class until he reached Harry, "Potter?" he drawled. When no one answered he looked up from his paper, "Well, well, it seems the Golden Boy decided to not show up today, pity."
"Ya I know, isn't it?" he softly muttered.
"What'd you just say?" Blaise asked from beside him.
"Nothing."
Draco finished the rest of his ex-favourite day, Harry-less. After dinner Draco followed Hermione and Weasley upstairs to the portrait of The Fat Lady and hid around a corner. "Gryffindor Paradise." He strained to hear. 'What a dumb password.' He heard the portrait swing open and shut and then he ran out and repeated the password to the picture. "You're not in Gryffindor, are you lad?"
"No, I'm dating one."
"Oh, who?"
"Well, if you must know, it's Harry Potter."
The Fat Lady didn't say anything after that as he entered quietly.
In the common room, only about five people were there, Weasley and Hermione, Patil and Brown and a second year. Even though he was walking very quietly in, Brown and Patil, with their super-hearing senses (that they use for hearing gossip from others), heard him and turned around. Brown gasped quietly and Patil looked as if she was about to faint. Draco smirked at them and winked before dashing up the boy's dorm stairs.
Once upstairs he saw Harry sitting on his bed, his back leaning against the headboard and he had his head back with his eyes closed. "Harry?" The brunette looked up,
"How'd you get in here?"
"I listened to the password when Hermione and Weasley said it."
"Oh." Draco walked over to Harry's bed and sat next to the boy, wrapping his arms around him. "Are you okay, Harry?" Harry only buried his head in Draco's shoulder.
They sat there in complete silence for a while, before Harry got up to change. Draco was about to leave when Harry stopped him, "Stay here tonight, Dray."
"Uh...okay." Draco changed as well and climbed in awkwardly beside the Gryffindor. They soon fell asleep, tangled in each other's arms.
"Oh my god, Harry, is your hair turning blond?"
"Oh shit." Harry opened his eyes to see Ron, Seamus, Dean and Neville all standing around his bed. He felt Draco stir beside him and watched as the blond sat up, "What are you guys doing waking me up at-"Draco stopped mid-sentence. Everyone remained in complete silence until-
"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING IN YOUR BED, HARRY?!" Ron yelled.
"Uh..."
"I think we should tell them, I mean they've already seen us." Draco whispered.
"Okay."
"Well, you see guys," Harry started not knowing what to say, "Draco and I are sort of dating. But you have to keep this a secret." Seamus sat on his bed,
"Don't worry mate, we won't tell. So when did you guys start dating? Why?"
"We started dating two months ago, in early September. Why we did, I'm not sure, Hermione was always uh...studying and Ron became better friends with you guys and I felt left out and Draco and I had called a truce and became closer friends. We would meet each other at night and just talk and one night I kissed him, that's when it started." Harry looked up at his dorm mates and saw Ron was red in the face while Seamus and Dean looked at the couple with an expression Harry couldn't understand. Neville appeared to be quite confused.
"You and Malfoy? No way, that's just...sick!" Ron stomped over to his bed and looked at Harry and Draco with disgust written across his face. The five boys gaped at the red head, not knowing him to be a homophobe before. Draco stood up, "Fine, if you're not going to accept Harry and I then we'll just be going." The blond took Harry's hand, after the brunette had grabbed his invisibility cloak, and led him out of the room with the others trailing behind.
Once down in the common room Harry and invisible Draco sat down on a couch beside Hermione. "'Mione, I think I should tell you since everyone in my dorm knows, Draco, who's beside me under my invisibility cloak, and I are dating." Harry and Draco waited for a bad reaction like Ron's but she merely shrugged, "I already knew, it was just a little too obvious, you two always snuck glances at each other, it's a wonder the whole castle didn't know." She replied while still absent-mindedly writing the already 2 foot long parchment. "So you don't mind?"
"Not at all."
"Ok, good, 'cause Ron took a fit upstairs, saying it was gross."
"That's Ron for you, hopefully he'll get over it."
"Yeah, he better." Harry replied, dazing off as he felt Draco's hand on his thigh.
