Spiderwebs...

Our road is long

Your hope is strong...

There's always that one person in your lifetime that effects you like no other, you can fall in love with multiple people, but there's that one person that makes you melt by a mere look. Or in my case a kiss. Our kiss had started off slowly and gentle but after weeks of not touching each other it quickly became faster, heated. Draco's arms wrapped around me, bringing me closer to him and in turn I encircled my arms around his neck fully giving into the kiss.

I honestly can't say how far we would have gone if it hadn't been for the bell that rang throughout the castle signaling the end of class. I jerked back, finally realizing what exactly we were doing.

"We can't." I said trying to stand but Draco wouldn't have it that way.

"Only because you won't let it." He scowled.

"Don't be difficult about this. Whatever we had between us is over."

"Then why did you response to my kiss?" He smirked and I looked away unable to answer him. He leaned in and put his lips on my neck sucking gently. "Don't you miss the times we were together?" His lips moved against my skin.

"No." I said determined not to fall prey to him, no matter how hard it was becoming to ignore his wandering hand.

"Really, could have fooled me the way I had you screaming my name most of time."

"That was then, this is now."

Draco lifted his head to look at me and damn him for having that smug look on his face as he opened his mouth to respond. "You don't think I could have you screaming for me again?" His tongue licked a spot on my neck and I couldn't suppress the shudder that ran through my body.

"Isn't your girlfriend getting worried about you?" Low blow I know but if it got Draco to walk away then so be it.

But he didn't walk away instead he gave me a hard stare. "Not fair Harry."

Don't I know it. "Life's not fair." I shrugged and turned around to head back to gryffindor tower.

I heard his hurried footsteps but before I could react the slytherin grabbed my shoulder from behind, pushed me against the wall and kissed me with a his all domineering force. I jerked my head the other way but that didn't stop him as he sucked on my neck biting at the skin.

"Are you going to rape me too?"

I whispered the words but he jumped as if I had kicked him in the stomach. I felt the sting before my mind registered the slap. Holding my cheek I turned to stare at Draco who was glaring at me.

"Don't you ever, ever say something like that to me again." He said harshly. "The last thing I wanted for you was that." He finished and turned on his heels leaving without looking back once.

My hand was still pressed to the cheek Draco had slapped as I slid down the wall hugging my legs to my chest. I wasn't mad at him for hitting me, I was in the wrong for what I said and we both knew it. Time pass and still I didn't get up from where I was sitting with my head bowed, I was thinking about Draco and what I felt for him and if he felt the same way. It was until another bell rang out that I jerked my head up and with one hand pushed myself off the ground. Five minutes later I was in the gryffindor common rooms to find it sparsely filled with mostly upper-year gryffindors who were unwinding before dinner started. I said hello to a few of them but didn't stop to chat as I made my way up to my dormroom.

I kicked off my shoes as soon as I went through the door and was about to lay on my bed when a familiar voice called my name. Turning around I noticed that Ron was laying on his own bed staring at me.

"Aren't you suppose to be in class?" I asked him knowing very well that he was suppose to be in charms right now.

He shrugged. "Wasn't up to it today."

"Don't tell Hermione." I smiled while moving to sit on my bed but still facing him.

Ron cracked a weak smile that didn't reach his eyes. He had been like this since I had been released from the hospital wing, often staring into space for long periods of time before someone jarred him out if. It wasn't like Ron to be serious when he usually was so relaxed.

"Harry I... I'm sorry." He said quietly staring at the floor.

"Sorry? For what?"

"Because it was my fault! All my fault that you were.... raped." He said with difficulty. I was surprised for my part because one Ron barely mentioned the incident and two never once said the word rape or at least not in front of me. But why he was blaming himself?

"Ron no, it's not your fault how could it be? You had no idea what the bastard was going to do."

Ron shook his head. "But if I would have stayed outside with you..." He shook his head again looking miserable.

It finally dawned on me what he was talking about. Most of that night is blurry and I can't remember much but I did remember telling Ron I was going to stay outside a little longer and he offering me to stay but I convinced him to go inside. Poor Ron...

"It's not your fault that he raped me." I said and he slightly flinched.

"I should have stayed outside with you."

I sighed quietly wishing he would believe me but I couldn't blame him for feeling guilty. I went through the same thing when Cedric died and it took me almost a year to convince myself that it wasn't my fault.

I got up from the bed and sat beside him on his bed. "Ron I killed Cedric right?"

"No!" He said startled by the random question.

"But I told him to take the cup with me."

"But you didn't know it was portkey, it was you-know-who who killed him."

"Then how is it different from you not knowing that I was going to be raped?" I pointed out to him. "You didn't know I was going to be attacked just like I didn't know the cup was a portkey."

A frown marred his forehead and I knew he was thinking about it. "What happened sucks." Ron snorted quietly. "But you can't keep thinking what if this or what if that. It will consume you and in the end get you no where."

"I still feel bad." He said softly.

I turned half my body towards him and hugged him which he returned. "I know but soon it'll fade. Promise." A part of me wanted to get rid all of his guilt and the other part of me was happy to know I had such a caring friend. And I was lucky to have Ron and Hermione as best friends.

"Uh Harry I like you but not like that." Ron said and I removed my arms from him only to hit the redhead in the arm while he laughed.

"Git." The tension that had filled the room with our conversation had dissolved. "And anyways I prefer blondes." I said moving to my own bed.

"I'm sure." Ron said smirking as he dodged the pillow I aimed for his head.

Rolling my eyes I said. "Come on, Hermione's going to be worried if we don't show up to dinner."

Ron jumped up and we both made for the door but he paused with his hand on the door handle. "Thank you Harry." He said softly before opening the door and stepping out.

So I'm done with this chapter.... What did everyone think of it? It's 1:26 AM in the morning and I'm dead but I just had to get this chapter done. This next one will be out really soon since already two or three pages are written.
