Wanted the truth
Wanted the faith
More than anything else in this world
But we are doomed
Body and soul marooned
I would never give in

"Hey Cat?"

Cat turned around, the purple hair swinging. "Yeah?"

"What's up with Dev and Rory? They look like they've fought or something." Harry said quietly, leaning on a locker.

"Well, um… Has Dev told you about his boyfriend?"

"No. I mean, not his name. Why? You know him? Who is he?" A curiosity lit up to Harry's face. "Oh my god, is Rory jealous?"

Cat blushed faintly. "Um… Yes. Rory… He is 'him'. Rory's Dev's secret boyfriend."

Harry's eyes went wide. "Rory's Dev's boyfriend! No fucking way! Rory's with that poet-dude. That Alexander with worn-out jeans and long scarves and make-up."

"Harry," Cat raised an eyebrow. "They broke up like a month ago. And I think Dev's the reason why." The boys were starting to sound like gossiping teen age girls, but did they care? No of course not. Their best friends' love lives were involved.

"But-"

"Excuse me?"

The boys turned around. There was a small red head in front of them. "Can I help you?" Cat asked, putting on Cat the Charmer.

"Yes, you can tell your friend to get the hell off my locker." The girl snapped, nodding towards Harry who stepped aside and continued like nothing happened.

"But why is Rory jealous?"

"'Cause of me." Cat told, watching the girl take her books and leave.

"'Cause of you? Why?"

"He thinks there's something going on between Dev and me. Who is that girl?"

Harry turned around once again and looked at the back of the red haired girl. "Who, she? Ginny Weasley."

"That is Ginny Weasley! But… She's gorgeous. The Ginny Weasley I remember is not gorgeous."

"That's because the last time you paid any attention on her was when you and I bullied her in the park when she was eleven. You remember that?" Devian hit his back on a locker a lollipop in his mouth.

Cat gave a short laugh. "Oh yeah. That was the time when her brothers almost beat the hell out of us."

Devian made a grim at the memory. "She's cute." He said then, trying to ignore Harry's very curious gaze.

"Devian?"

"Yes, Harry?"

"Who's your secret boyfriend?"

Devian glanced at Cat who was now very interested in the ceiling. "Why do you even ask when you already know?"

"So it's true? You and Rory?"

The drummer sighed. "Yes." Harry's face lit up. "But you do not say anything about knowing to him. He doesn't know that you know. He doesn't know that Cat knows. Fucking hell, he doesn't know anything!"

"Where is he, by the way?" Harry asked, noticing that Rory was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh, probably sulking somewhere. Ass." Devian started to sulk as well. "I can't believe how he can be so motherfucking jealous. I mean, I know he plays bass but he didn't used to be this stupid!"

"Gee, thanks Dev. I thought we agreed not to tell them yet?" The three boys turned around and saw a very angry/disappointed/sad-looking Rory. "Actually, if I remember correctly it was you who didn't want anyone to know."

"Rory I-" Devian started but Rory was already gone. "I better go after him." He muttered and left Cat and Harry to stand there.

"I bet you five bucks that they make up before lunch?" Cat suggested. Harry couldn't hear him. He saw Draco by the hall, fighting with his locker again.

"Um… I'll see you in class, Cat." Harry muttered and went to the blonde. "Hi." He greeted quietly. Draco gave him a small smile.

"Hey. What's going on?"

"Eh… Nothing much. Is everything okay?" The raven haired one of the boys asked carefully. Draco seemed surprisingly happy.

"Yes, why wouldn't it be?" He asked, smile fading, as he got his locker finally opened. "I hate this bloody thing."

"Draco?"

"What?"

"What's going on? One day you look like you're ready to kill yourself and the next you ask why anything would be wrong." Harry burst out, without having the time to stop himself. Why did I say that!

Draco's expression immediately fell. "Well, excuse me for having a good day for a change. Sorry, I didn't know that I'm not allowed to smile." He snapped, slamming his locker closed.

"That's not what I meant."

"What did you mean then?"

"I… I just want to know what's going on with you. You change moods so fast and-"

"It's called being a teenager, Harry." Draco snapped. "Now, if you'll excuse me. I'm going to be late for class."

xlxlxlx

"Rory!" Devian whispered and poked the red head's back with his pen. "C'mon, Ry. Could you-"

"Mr. Hawk, what do you think you are doing?"

Devian looked up and saw their English teacher, Mrs. McGonagall, looking at him with a slightly angry expression. "Eh, me, m'am?"

"You are the only Mr. Hawk in here, are you not?" McGonagall asked with her British accent. Which wasn't nearly as sexy as Draco's. "Now, stop disturbing Mr. Moore or I have to remove you from the class. Is that understood?"

"Yes, m'am." So Devian had to wait until they were dismissed. "Look, it's not like I told Harry. Cat did."

"Who told Cat then?" Rory snapped.

"That would be me. But it didn't happen like you think it did!"

"How did it happen then?"

Devian gulped. "Um… He asked about it."

"So, Cat asked that are we together? Just like that?"

"Yes! I mean no!" Rory gave him a look. "No. It was the time when you stood me up."

"I stood you up! When did I do that?"

"When I asked you to meet me in front of Cat's yesterday. Why didn't you come?" Devian asked as they stopped walking. Rory leaned on the wall.

"I… I didn't want to see you with Cat." He muttered and played with the gauntlet on his wrist.

An amused smile spread on Devian's face. "Oh honey…" He started and wrapped his arms around Rory's waist. "Hun, you have nothing to worry about. Cat and I and are just friends. When are you gonna get that?"

Rory looked quite embarrassed. "I just… Cat's a good looking guy. And you're so close with him and-"

"Honey, Cat's straight."

"You were straight."

"Yeah, but Cat's really straight. He has his eye on Weasley now."

"Ron?"

The drummer raised an eyebrow. "No, you jackass. Ginny. She's really pretty now." He brushed a red lock away from Rory's face. "Are we okay now? Or is there something else you want to be mad at me for?"

Rory smiled. "I guess I deserved that."

"You so did. You're such a jackass sometimes, you know that?"

"I am? I haven't really noticed."

"Well, you are."

"Hey, Dev?"

"Yes, my darling?"

"I think I'm in love with you."

A/N: Well. Personally, I think this sucks. But I didn't want to keep you waiting too long. Let me know what you think.

reviews:

Q.T Starrrr: You sound jealous? lol grin: I'm terribly sorry that this is taking so long every time but like I said I have a lot of things in my mind. But it's nice that you're waiting for me. The song (Brandon Lee) is really good, one of my favorites. You should get it somewhere and listen it. Mistress Vamp: Is that enough if I try to update soon? Faren'sFowl: Why thank you itsasledgehammer: Honestly, when I started writing this, I had the same problem. Harry just isn't like that. But I've read sooo many fics where Harry suffers (including yours, Wrong Turn is really good btw. And all the other's I've read from you) that I decided to make it a little different this time. Anyway... Thanks for loving this. lol
