A Talk With Harry

"There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you. I thought you'd left for the party. Where's Hermione," he heard her ask as he tried to keep calm. "Harry?"

Taking a deep breath, he spoke. "Uh, I just—" his voice had changed. He finally opened his eyes and found that his vision was blurry. "I just felt tired. I let Hermione go ahead. Why are you here?"

He gasped when she drew the blanket from him. He found himself looking at her as she sat on the side of the bed. He wanted so much to touch her… It was then he noticed the sadness on her face.

"What's wrong," he asked in Harry's voice.

"To answer you first question, I'm in need of a friend. Harrison proposed," she sighed.

Draco managed to choke on air. His heart dropped to the bottom of his stomach. He couldn't peak as unbearable pain hit him. It felt as if someone was trying to tie his insides into knots.

"Did—did you ac-accept?" Draco sputtered.

She slowly shook her head. "I couldn't."

He felt somewhat relieved. "Why? Don't you… Love him?"

"Yeah, I do, it's just… I love him but it feels different." Ginny struggled to explain. "I care about him Harry, but I'm in love with him. He's sort of… Sort of like a brother that I… erm sleep with."

"You've slept with him," Draco demanded forgetting that he really wasn't himself.

She looked at him. Frowning. "Harry."

Draco suddenly remembered he was Harry for the moment. He cleared his throat.

"Is it Draco," he asked.

"Yes. You should've known that at the very beginning. Yes, it's him. You can't just not love someone all of a sudden," Ginny replied. "I know he's coming back and honestly… I'm not so thrilled."

Another blow that kept him from breathing properly.

"Why not?" he asked his voice cracking. He avoided her gaze. "Do you not love him anymore?"

"What?" she asked as if he had gone mentally insane. "Of course I do but I'm afraid he'll see I didn't wait like I promised… and I'm afraid if he comes back… he might just be executed, but most of all… I'm afraid he's fallen out of love with me."

Draco stared at her, his mouth slightly open. Did she really think that? Did she really doubt his love for her?

"Ginny, he loves you more than anything in the whole world! How can you seriously believe that?" he gently shook her.

"It's been two years."

"So? A lot of years can pass by and he wouldn't feel any different. He'd love you till his last breath has left his body and more!" he slowly slid his hands down her arms to hold her hands. His eyes burned into hers, losing himself in them. "You were the best thing that ever happened to him…"

"Harry?"

"Yes?"

Ginny slowly pulled her hands away. "You're married."

Draco snapped out of it. "I'm… I'm not—"

"Married? Yes you are. Your wife is one of my best friends and you're acting like—"

He finally realized what she was saying. He quickly put space between them, letting go of her hands

"Sorry, I'm just really tired," Draco, replied. "Sorry."

She was looking at him, trying to see through him. He looked down at his hands. Slowly, she got up.

"I should go," Ginny smiled. "Harrison will be looking for me."

"Do you miss him," Draco asked not looking at her. "Draco I mean."

"Every day."

Moments later, she was gone, just in time for the potion to wear off. Sighing with relief he got out of the bed and walked out into the hall. He was about to go into the guest room but froze. Someone was watching him.

"I knew it."
