Chapter 4: Who To Tell

Harry went to bed extremely early the next morning, at around 4:00am. Just as he zipped the tent back up Ron snorted and jolted upright.

"Uh, wha? Whose there, what's going on?" he grunted sleepily.

"It's just me," Harry replied curtly.

"Why you back so late?" mumbled Ron lacing his words with a yawn.

"Oh just…erm…well, I…err," he began but was stopped short as a loud snore told him Ron had fallen back to into a lazy sleep.

Harry tucked himself up into his sleeping bag. But as he tried to close his eyes he found it unusually hard to sleep that night; he just lay there looking up at the top of the tent thinking. Though when he did fall into the blissfulness of sleep, his dreams where stolen by thoughts of Malfoy.

-------

Later that morning when Harry, Ron and Hermione were all having breakfast, Ron brought up something Harry had hoped he'd forgotten.

"Harry got back about four o'clock this morning," he said casually all the while stuffing his face with thick and creamy pancakes.

"What? Why did you get back so late, Harry? The shower can't have taken that long," questioned Hermione eagerly, seemingly the topic had brought about her interest.

"I heard that he wasn't alone." Malfoy smirked hinting slightly as he walked past. "That he was with another guy!"

"Oh Harry, is that true? Oh wow, this is absolutely fantastic!" Hermione exclaimed delighted. "Who is it?" But Harry wasn't listing to her endless babble; he was just sitting there staring at Malfoy hungrily as his mind sauntered off contentedly. "Harry?"

Harry snapped out of his dazed trance, "What?"

"Ugh, you never listen to anything I say!" Hermione aridly exasperated.

"Oh, sorry," muttered Harry courteously as he had gone back to staring at Malfoy.

Hermione sighed and went back to eating her breakfast in a renewed silence. Harry tried to get back to eating his breakfast but just had to have one last peek at the tempting Malfoy. Looking over for a second they caught each other's eyes. Draco blushed and turned away to hide his flushed cheeks, Harry smiled and turned back around.

None to soon, just as everyone was finishing off his or her meals, Professor McGonagall strode into view looking just as taut as ever.

"Right then," she began waiting only a second before she had everyone's attention. "I hope you all had a comfortable night. Now today at 3:15 we will be going up to the tower, there we will be doing abseiling and climbing." Professor McGonagall informed them knowledgeably.

"Wicked," laughed Ron smiling anxiously. Harry noticed that Hermione seemed to stiffen up, and looked extremely pale as though she were devoid of all blood. Nonchalantly he pondered the reaction for a moment before returning his thoughts to Ron's talk of how much fun it was going to be.

-------

The travel to the tower was uneventful, and eerily quiet between them, yet Ron seemed oblivious to the awkwardness between them and rambled away. When they got to the tower the instructor was waiting patiently, ready to explain everything to the talkative group.

"Right, are we all here?" There was a short pause and when no one seemed to answer, the instructor took it as a given. "Yes? Okay then, once your all ready I'm going to put these harnesses on you, with help from a few of my pals," he said gesturing over to some of other instructors.

Off in one of the groups, a cute blonde guy caught Harry's eye, and walked over to him to help. He looked about the age of 18-19 and his eyes wandered Harry up and down; Harry pleased to do the same.

After a moment of quiet he smiled and said, "Hey, your Harry Potter." He stared, glancing at Harry's visible scar.

"Yeah, I know I am," Harry nodded before looking down to the ground, feeling the blush creeping up his neck slightly warming the coloring skin. When he finally looked up he noticed that the blond also had his own set of brilliant green eyes: not nearly as bright as Harry's own of course, but still just as beautiful. Hearing a grunting noise from his left, he glanced over and saw Malfoy looking at the instructor with evil eyes. Harry smirked finding Draco's silent furry amusing, just to push him further he started flirting with the instructor.

"So what's your name?" Harry asked acting bashfully while putting his helmet on.

"It's Billy," the blond informed him smiling.

"Cool and you already know what I'm called!" he retorted briskly. They both burst out laughing.

Draco was on looking from a distance "what do you reckons going on there?" he smirked at Crabby, though inside the question was killing him. He had made Harry his on that wonderful night, and the next day Harry was off flirting with another guy.

'I mean his so-called hair is nothing compared to mine, NOTHING!' He thought aggravated to himself.

"It looks like love!" laughed Crabby stupidly.

"Yeah," Draco said in affirmation to the very thing he wanted to deny.

Oh how he wanted to go run over there and snatch Harry back into his arms where he belonged, but he knew he couldn't. No matter how badly he wanted to.

"Now then, since you're all ready and prepared I want you all to partner up," the head instructor ordered and in less than an instant; Hermione and Ron were partnered up, as well as Crabby and Goyle in their own group. Leaving: Harry and Malfoy as the last two to be partnered up. This was going to be the interesting experience.
