Chapter 10

Harry's heart fluttered giddily. Draco had just walked through the door into the BAGOH meeting. Could it be? Could Draco be gay? Or bi? Harry's hopes rose considerably. Maybe he and Draco could get back together! Sure, what happened last year was short, but though Draco claimed Harry had merely been his 'special toy', Harry had always felt like he and Draco had shared something special. Here was his perfect chance!

Harry's hopes soon crumbled, however, as he saw Dumbledore enter behind Draco, clutching him tightly. Oh no! It seemed as though Draco had already found someone!

Harry was devastated, and went to a corner to sob.

Draco saw Harry sobbing in a dark corner and immediately felt a rush of concern. Though that thing last year had only been a little fun, Draco still had some feelings for Harry (after all, he was an excellent kisser), which is why Draco ventured over to the corner to see why Harry was so upset.

"Harry! What's wrong?"

"Oh, Draco, why? Why him? I mean, he's so old and hairy!" Harry sobbed.

Draco was thoroughly confused. "What are you talking about, Harry?"

Harry stared sadly at him. "I'm talking about you going out with Dumbledore."

Draco recoiled in disgust. "Oh god, Harry, surely you know me well enough to know I have more class than that! Good grief!"

"So, you-you're not going out with him?" Harry asked hopefully.

"No, I'm not, despite what that old crackpot may want to believe." Draco spat.

"YES!" Squealed Harry.

Uh-oh, Harry's squeals generally meant bad news for Draco. "What?"

"Well, now we can get back together! Remember, like old times, babe?" Harry looked adoringly at Draco.

"Look, Harry, I told you, we're finished. It was fun, and you were good, but-"

He was interrupted by Harry collapsing at his feet and clutching onto his robes.

"PLEASE, DRACO! I LOVE YOU! DON'T LET WHAT WE HAVE GO TO WASTE!" Harry shrieked.

Ok, this was getting embarrassing now. Draco sighed. "Harry, you were just a fling, nothing else. I don't know if you think there was love involved or something, but there wasn't. I'm sorry. But Harry, seriously, stop being so disillusioned. You've got to put 'us' behind you. Anyway, I'm off. See you around, Harry."

Harry slumped face-first onto the flagstones. "DON'T LEAVE ME THIS WAY!" He screamed, but it was too late. Draco had left, so Harry, left with little choice, dragged himself back to his corner and rocked back and forth, sobbing softly.
