Chapter six – falling

Harry watched the sleek black owl fly across to Blaise once again. Many times Harry had seen it but he never though about who could be sending her owls or why she would become so pale. Draco became pale too. This owl was the Malfoy owl Harry soon discovered. Harry now found himself following Blaise through the hallways toward the Slytherin common room. He wasn't all that sure why he had done that. He just felt he needed to make sure she didn't do something stupid and hurt Draco in the process. I love him... The thought that haunted his mind. He would do anything. Draco was his weakness and no one could know that. I can't even tell Draco...he would never understand it... then why do I follow him? The same argument always going through his mind, the same questions and answers. Harry loved Draco.

Harry watched Blaise and quietly followed her into the common room. Wish I had my invisibility clock. He watched as Blaise screamed tore the letter in pieces and then threw them into the fireplace. She turned and saw Harry watching her. She glared.

"What do you want Potter?" Something I will never have... Harry only sighed. "Tell me! Why are you here?" She hissed.

"I don't know." Harry replied calmly. Her eyes narrowed and Harry sighed once again. "I followed you..."

"Why?" She asked her voice filled with curiousness. Harry looked towards her feet. He couldn't answer. How could he tell her he wanted to make sure she was ok for Draco's sake? How could she ever know? She would never allow Harry to love someone she loved.

"I can't say." Harry felt her probe into his mind. She's strong... Mind barriers shut her out but she went in deeper. Harry tried to keep them closed but she kept pulling out things from his mind. She saw Harry watching Draco, saw him watching her and saw him saving Draco. She could feel how he felt and she gasped at the amount of love she felt Harry had for Draco. "Please stop." Harry begged closing his eyes. She shouldn't know but now she did. She pulled away from him eyes still wide.

"You're green eyes!" Harry watched her confused. She saw this. "I looked into Draco's mind once when he'd just... hmm well lets just say I think he loves you... more than me anyway... he's seen you watching him but in those times for some reason he never recognised your face..." She continued but Harry barely heard her. Draco loves me? "...but you do realise he loves me too and I love him and we're together and so you can't have him!" Blaise ended quickly.

"As long as he's happy I don't care. You keep him safe or I swear I will kill you." Blaise merely nodded at the threat. She knew he wasn't joking around. "And please... don't tell Draco." She nodded and watched Harry walk away. I'm letting him go... he'll be happy with Blaise. She knows I love him now and hopefully I can trust her not to tell Draco...

Draco walked after Blaise after he had finished his breakfast. Blaise was used to the threats by now and she would be ok on her own a while. He walked back towards Slytherin and someone walked into him. Potter! His trademark sneer graced his face.

"Potter would you mind watching where you are going!" He yelled.

"Sorry Draco..." Harry muttered before running off. Draco? Since when Did Potter call me Draco and since when did he back away from a fight? Shaking his head he ran back to the common room finding no one.

Harry ran along the corridor he could feel tears threatening to overflow. Draco must you hurt me with your cold words? Can't you aim that beautiful smile towards me rather than Blaise some time? Could you love me? Thoughts he dreamed for entered his head. Draco's arms wrapped around him and the two of them making love for the first time. He thought of marriage and children. Just of how wonderful their life could be if things were different. He felt himself running anywhere but the dungeons. Up stairs along corridors never slowing down. Minuets flew by.

Harry finally stopped finding himself in an old tower. The tower had no windows to stop anyone from falling. It only had a seat around the edge of the tower and the window. If anyone fell from here it would look like an accident. Harry was tempted but yet again he stopped himself for the sake of Draco. Harry sat on the part in front of the window and looked out. He brought his knees up towards him and cried. Draco... When Harry woke up he found himself plummeting to the ground.

A/n It's longer! YAY! Well slightly longer anyway... Anyhow I'm lost again! Don't have any idea what I'm going to do next. Well I do but I don't... Anyhow I found friends at college and had a good day sorta. Then Then I found out my mate was having a misrible time and people were just ignoring her. No one should have to go through with that!! SHAME ON PEOPLE! hehe. Anyway today my other mate Hollie called because she hadn't found anyone to talk to and I'm glad she called me to phone 'cause makes me feel spech. I love her to pieces and I'm glad we're going to the same college but in diferent buildings. Not glad we're in different buildings but glad we're close. Anyway... ITS GETTING LONGER!!
