Beautiful Stranger...
It was two days into the holiday vacation and I hadn't seen Draco since the Snowball dance, I will still debating if I should tell him or not but in the end I decided that I needed to tell him. The reason I hadn't seen Draco was that both Hermione and Ron stayed and it was harder to get away from them without making them worry now that most of the gryffindors were gone.
I did get to meet Draco on the third day when I was leaving the Quidditch locker room and he was coming in. Before I could say anything he kissed me and closed the door.
"Miss me?" He teased me while his lips moved over mine.
I pulled away reluctantly. "We have a problem, Blaise saw us together during the snowball dance." I though it was best if I didn't sugarcoated it.
Draco remained quite and just stared at me before asking. "What did he say?"
I sat on the bench and stared up at him. "If I don't sleep with him, he's going tell the whole school about us." I sighed.
"You're not." He said sharply and I glared at him.
"You know you really are thick. Do I have to spell it out for you? I'm. Not. Going. To. Sleep. With. Blaise." I knew it would make him mad but I wasn't in the best of moods to begin with.
Draco glared at me but remained silent. "So what are we going to do?"
That took me by surprise. I really didn't know what to expect from him but it wasn't that, actually I thought it he would say it was my problem and to fix it or something along those lines. "I told him that we would deny it and I think he knows that it would be hard to convince the school."
"I know Blaise and he's not going to stop and just leave it alone that easily."
"So what do we do?"
Draco sighed. "I don't know just hope for the best." He shrugged.
"Great plan." I said sarcastically. Before he could come back with a biting remark we heard footsteps coming towards the door. Draco quickly moved to the opposite side of the room and I moved to the door as if leaving the room. I stepped out and came face to face with Ron.
"Oh I was looking for you mate. It's been two hours since you'd been gone and you know how Hermione gets." The redhead rolled his eyes and I gave a forced laugh as we made our way back to the Gryffindor common room still thinking of Draco.
The Christmas hols were going fine but I wish I could have spent a little time with Draco, I love Hermione and Ron to death but they sometimes don't realize how suffocating I feel by them. Draco doesn't do that, he doesn't treat me like the boy-who-lived and maybe that's why I'm so attracted to him; he doesn't put me on a pedestal.
"Harry! Wake up mate." Ron's voice woke me up and I gave a groan trying hard to snuggle deeper into the warm blankets, but they were taken away by both Ron and Hermione who laughed as I glared at them.
"Happy Christmas!" They yell simultaneously and I rolled my eyes as Hermione put her gifts on Dean's bed.
Like we've done for the past six years we opened our presents together. I go through Mrs. Weasley and Hagrid's gifts first, as I know what they usually get me. Mrs. Weasley knitted a black sweater and a lot of homemade sweets that looked delicious and Hagrid got me a book on different dangerous animals. I moved on to Sirius' gift, I sighed as I read his letter wishing me a happy and safe Christmas and how sorry he is that he couldn't be there to share it with me. Putting his gift aside I move on the others. Ron got me sweets and Hermione a book on seekers.
After all the gifts were open and put away we went down to the Great Hall where only a few people were gathered eating breakfast and talking amongst each other, Draco was also there who flashed me a grin before turning back to Parkinson. I sat with Hermione and Ron at the end of the long table that's placed in the middle of the Great Hall. I filled my plate but ate slowly not really that hungry. I let my thoughts go back to Draco and I realized how much I've been thinking of him lately.
I was brought out of my musing by someone tapping on my shoulder I turned around in my seat to look up at Blaise who unfortunately also decided to stay at Hogwarts. He smirked as I inwardly groan cursing the day I ever met the slytherin. A nice slytherin indeed, the only reason Blaise was nice to me was to get me into bed.
"Have a minute Harry?" Out of the corner of my eye I see both Ron and Hermione shooting me looks. I couldn't say no to him incase Blaise decided to do something we'll both regret. I nodded standing up and we walked out of the Great Hall. Outside he turned to me still smirking.
"What do you want?"
"Have you thought more about the deal?" He answered my own question with a question.
"I already said no!" I'm really not in the mood to put up with this but I lowered my voice incase it carried into the Great Hall. "And both of us are going to deny it even if you start rumors." I reminded him with a smirk of my own.
"Tsk Potter I thought you would be more sensible then that, or at least cared more for Draco. Just image what would happen if it got to his father or the dark lord that you two were sleeping together." Blaise sighed dramatically.
The vision I had a while ago came back to my mind in vivid details. A shudder ran through my body and I forced myself to focus on something else. I wouldn't let him get what he wanted or see how much his words affected me.
"Draco would deny it. Do you really think that Voldermort-" I smiled as Blaise flinched. "would get worked up about gossip?"
The slytherin didn't answer right away and I saw the doubt in his eyes. At least I have the upper hand on this one. "Exactly." I said to him as I turned my back on him and made my way back into the Great Hall where Ron and Hermione were waiting for me to return.
"What'd he say?"
I had gone to the lake later in the afternoon to give Ron and Hermione some alone time and for me to think without them asking me questions. I had only gotten there when Draco had come from behind me a serious expression gracing his gorgeous face.
"The same thing, but he really doesn't care for the students to find out he wants your father and Voldemort to find out." I watched his face carefully.
Draco's a master at hiding his emotions but even the greatest actor's show something and I've learned to catch it. His eyes flicker for a second before going impassive once again. I know the blonde is always worried about someone finding out not because of what the school would think but if word ever got to his father and what he might do.
"Draco what side are you on?" I ask him.
I questioned him before at the start of this bizarre relationship and he told me he didn't know, that he was confused. At the time I had accepted the answer but now I needed to know for sure, because even though I wanted to stay with him I couldn't be with someone who sided with Voldemort. I couldn't betray my parents and all the people in my life that I cared about because of Draco. I just couldn't.
The blonde sighed deeply. "I don't know Harry." He ran his hand through his hair.
"Well pick now." I tell him glaring. "Damn it Draco its not that hard just choose a side." Ok I know that not fair to him but I needed to know, if he chose to follow in his father's footsteps then I would leave him, I wouldn't be with a deatheater.
"It's not that hard?! Maybe for you but I will go against everything my father has brought me up knowing. Everything I am!"
"Your father brought you up to bow at someone's feet? I though Draco Malfoy was too good to bow down to anyone?"
"Shut-up Harry." The slytherin snapped at me glaring furiously.
"No! Fine you want to join Voldemort then do it, but don't think to even look at me again. But prepare yourself for a life of killing innocent people who did nothing but be born to what they are, to be in pain if your master has a bad day. To be constantly remained of what you are by a black tattoo on your arm. And if you can live with yourself for having all that blood on your hands then so be it." I yelled at him more enraged then I'd ever been.
Brooding I made to walk away when he grabbed my arm. "Harry please." Draco said quietly.
"Talk to me when you've chosen." I yanked my arm out of his hold and made my way back to the castle.
At dinnertime I didn't see Draco.
A/n- I know it's short but I really didn't know what to do with these chapter but I'm sort-a of happy with the way it turned out! So sorry with the long wait but Love Forbidden and Wonder What's Next needed to be written, but don't worry another chapter should be up soon.
Ooh and next chapter you will find out what Side Draco is on.... Can I get a drum roll please.... ?

Hue- I'll post the new chapter for Love Forbidden once its written and done but enjoy this one in the mean time.
driven to insanity- Blaise is in the first book you see his name during the sorting but the thing is you don't know if its a boy or girl so most just use however we want. I'll update Love Forbidden sometime in the near future is all I can say.
