Sorry for the late new chapter. Like Harry and Draco, I too have to run away from prying eyes, far away from the homophobic world... xD
'Two Butterbeers please, Madam Rosmerta' Harry ordered, brushing his fringe out of his eyes. 'Why not Firewhisky, Harry?' Ron scowled. 'I think we've had enough Firewhisky last night, Ron. Besides, we can't afford to get drunk for another day now, can we?' Ron merely nodded as he looked at Madam Rosmerta filling their glasses.
'I'm going to the men's room for a while' Harry said, jumping off his seat heading straight for the bathroom. He lowered his head over the sink. Tears of mere confusion ran down his cheeks. I'm not gay, he kept telling himself but Draco's whispers just wont leave his mind. Suddenly, someone pat his shoulder, he looked up in the mirror to find his lover standing right behind him.
'What are you doing here? I mean- how, what- Are you stalking me or something?'
'No, Harry. As much as I feel for you, I won't go stalking after you'
'Oh, really now...'
'Yeah, really'
'So- it was you back there? Stunning Romilda Vane?'
Harry noticed a tinge of pink in Draco's cheek. Draco remained silent. Looking the opposite way, shuddering slightly.
'Well, thanks a lot- uhm – Draco'
'Ooh, back to first name basis, hun?'
'Oh, shut up. You sound so gay'
'Aren't we?'
'Draco Malfoy!'
Draco smiled and brushed Harry's fringe, kissing his forehead. Harry's insides gave a little jolt.
'Astronomy tower. Midnight' Draco said as he walked out of the bathroom.
Harry's fingers reached for his forehead. He kissed me... The thought of Draco Malfoy kissing him again just creeped him out. He quickly got out of the bathroom to find Ron, ordering a large glass of Firewhisky from Madam Rosmerta.
'That was quick'
'Obvious reasons, Ron' Harry replied, tilting his head in Malfoy's direction.
'I see, I see... Oh, Harry- Hermione and I are going out together this evening, wanna come along?'
'Nah, you two should be left alone'
'You'd be fine, mate?'
'Yeah, I'll be fine. Pretty sure of that...'
Ron gulped down the large glass of Firewhisky and walked out of Madam Rosmerta's feeling very drunk. Poor Harry had to carry him up to the common room with Hermione's help. 'Note to self: never let Ron have a large Firewhisky on his own...' Harry told himself. Hermione laughed a bit.
'Any plans for the evening Harry?'
'Dunno... Maybe a bit of Quidditch practice and stuff like that... But now that our Keeper's drunk, I guess I'll have to cancel Quidditch practice...'
'He'll be up in a moment'
'Define a moment, Hermione... Aight, I think I'm going for a stroll down the hallways'
'Alright then...'
Harry walked out of the common room and as he said, he strolled down the hallways and corridors. After walking past the same portrait for four or five times, he decided that he had enough of this floor. He walked down the stairs, heading towards the Great Hall when he was suddenly pulled into an empty classroom. The door slammed shut and class was pitch black.
'Hello? Who's out there? Anyone?'
Only his voice echoed in the room. Darkness surrounding him. A fear of panic surged through his mind...
'Please, hello! Is anyone out there? Let me out!'
Once again, we are left with an incomplete story. I'll try to sneak back on another time soon. Till then, keep on waiting! I'm sure it'll be worth it.
