Chapter fourteen - Forgiven

Draco,

I am sorry to be writing you like this, but I must know the truth. I told Hermione that it was my fault you ran away, and that I had done something to you that was unforgivable, but to be honest; I don't really know what happened. I don't get why you said you were not a "poof" because it's so obvious that you are, plus everyone knows about your announcement during fifth year, when you "came out." Of coarse some just won't except it, like Pansy Parkinson for instance. I know you like me Draco, you admitted that much with the truth potion, and I know I must have admitted the same thing to you. Please, Draco, just for once let me in on your own terms and tell me what is wrong with you. I like you Draco, I like you a lot, and I have a feeling about this, I really do. I think we have something good here, and I will risk everything I have for you, everything!

Harry

Harry sat in his room awaiting a reply from Draco. The only thing that was running through his mind was what had happened earlier that day, and what happened the previous night. He could not put his finger on what had happened. He thought of all the several possible things that he could have done to make Draco freak out, or back away from what was going on between them. The swift kiss he had laid on his cheek might have left him feeling uneasy. Maybe Draco felt occupied to stay, because of Harry saving his life. Or maybe Hermione was the one who had said something. Harry was driving himself mad with wonder about what had happened. All he could do now was wait. Wait patiently for a reply from Draco.

Ginny

It's Dean, meet me at our sacred room. I trust you remember where it is.

Later.

Ginny had felt sick to her stomach since it happened. She felt like a part of her was lost forever. She felt that she would never be the same. She knew Hermione was lost to her forever as well. She knew her schoolgirl crush on Harry had been indeed crushed, and now her other schoolgirl crush had discovered her, only to crush her of everything she once had, and knew.

Ginny lay crying on her bed that evening while holding the letter that maid her feel uneasy.

Hermione on the other hand had just finished spending the remainder of her day finishing her crazy Professors assignment and snogging with her boyfriend Ron. She decided it would be about time she maid a trip to her room, and maybe conjure up a book or two for a good light read. That is if you would call it "light".

Hermione's boyfriend had decided to stay in the common room and play a few games of wizard's chess with Dean.

"Barbaric game" Hermione commented angrily as she made her way up to her room.

"I thought she liked wizards chess?" Dean asked.

"She does. She is just angry that I beat her last game." Ron smirked.

When Hermione finally reached the girl's dormitory she had heard a girl crying. It was a familiar sound, and a familiar cry. She stepped directly into the middle of the room to see who had in fact been weeping uncontrollably on the bed, and then she saw that it was Ginny.

Hermione felt her heart stop as she realized whom it was, her admirer. Was she crying because of me? Was all Hermione could think about. She wished desperately that it had not been her who had in fact made the young girl cry. She was unsure if she could live with her self if it had been her who made the poor girl cry. Hermione never wanted to, or intended to hurt anyone's feelings.

Harry

I am glad you wrote me, Please meet me by the lake after dinner, we have much to talk about.

Draco

Harry was glad to see that Draco wrote him back, but what they had to talk about… was it for the better or the worse?

"DRACO MALFOY!" Pansy screeched, in a horrible tone.

"What is it now Pansy?"

"I want to know where you were last night, for one! And second, why were you with Potter and Granger today?"

"I had some errands to run if you know what I mean, Pansy. And the whole being near Potter and Granger thing was a complete and utterly horrible experience that I would like to forget, if you don't mind!"

"I don't believe you Draco. Something fishy is going on between you and Potter. He was apparently gone last night too! Were you two duelling or something?"

"Right Pansy because I devote all my time and energy into duelling Potter. Come on Pansy you know me better then that! I had some private errands to run, and it is none-of -your-business. It's official Malfoy business." Draco scowled at the girl.

"I guess that makes sense." The young girl agreed.

"Are you mad at me Drakey Pooh?"

"No, of coarse not. How could I possibly stay mad at you?"

Very easily in fact, Draco thought.

"Oh, DRAKEY POOH! I love you!" Pansy yelped while grabbing on to the boy, and practically strangling the life out of him.

Of coarse there is the one tiny fact that if she calls me Drakey Pooh one more time, I don't know if anyone will be able to stop me from strangling her right in the open.

"Ginny" Hermione called out softly to the young witch.

Ginny looked up to find a concerned Hermione Granger looking down upon her. Ginny's eyes had been blood shot from crying and although she noticed the other witch she still could not stop her tears from being released.

"Ginny, what is wrong?"

Ginny could not hold back anymore. She did not care that Hermione had been with her brother, she just wanted the support of her friend right now. Ginny got up, and made her way to Hermione and hugged her tightly while sobbing loudly in her ear.

"What's wrong Ginny? You have to tell me!"

Ginny looked up to the one she was still in love with, with her saddened eyes, and was about to confess what had been on her mind, but then she started to cringe at her stomach and ran straight through to the bathrooms.

Hermione had decided that she would get Dean to come see her, seeming as how they had been pretty close now a day's.

Hermione made her way down the stairs to the common room and ran straight towards Ron and Dean.

"Dean!" Hermione said loudly.

"What is it Hermione?"

"It's Ginny!"

"Yeah, what about her?"

"She seems to be ill!"

"What! What's wrong with my sister?" Ron stood quickly.

Dean would have stayed calm and replied with something around the lines of "And, I care because? She was only my flavour of the week" If it hadn't of been for the fact that her brother had been right there. Dean quickly got up and rushed past Ron acting as if he cared. Ron was about to make his leave when Hermione stopped him.

"Hermione, What are you doing? That's my sister up there!"

"It's alright Ron; Dean will take care of her. Besides, they seem like quite the couple now a days"

Ron gave her a slight glare but realized that his girlfriend was right and let the situation be.

"So Ron, do you want to head down for dinner now?"

"Let's wait for Harry first!"

"Oh, he didn't tell you, He's not coming down tonight. He said he would get a bite later, and he had something to take care of first."

"Oh. All right then, we might as well head down then.

"GINNY!" Dean yelled out.

There was no answer though.

Dean frantically looked around the girl's dormitory and when not seeing Ginny, he decided to enter the girl's bathroom.

Dean walked in and scowled at the blood shot girl who was obviously crying during the day.

"What is wrong with you?" Dean scowled evilly.

Ginny looked up at the familiar voice and lost her breath.

No, Hermione must have got him. If only she knew.

"Straighten up!"

Ginny straightened up right away in mere fright. But it didn't last long, as she had to turn to vomit once again.

Dean looked away, almost grossed out. He walked over to her, and grabbed her hair with his hand and turned her face towards his.

"You sicken me"

And with that Dean hit Ginny hard on the face sending her crashing right into the bathroom wall. He left as Ginny slowly slid to the ground crying in pain, and once again vomiting.

Harry was making his way to the lake and had noticed that for the first time, Draco had not been there first. He decided to stand by the shore of the lake and look upon the area that Draco had almost lost himself in. Harry still couldn't quite get the images of Draco's limp body out of his mind. He couldn't get rid of the image of Draco lying helplessly in his arms. Harry knew from this point on that his fancying Draco had moved on to liking the boy far more then he had ever dreamed he would. But how Draco felt was the real question.

"HARRY!"

Harry turned slightly around to see the form of the familiar voice that had been calling him.

He could not help but smile when he realized that it was none other than Draco Malfoy springing into his arms, causing them both to fall to the ground.

When emerald met grey they couldn't do anything but smile for each other.

"I missed you, Harry!"

Harry smiled at what he just heard. But knew he had to get to the bottom of what had happened last.

Harry slightly lifted them both up into a sitting position and asked, "Why did you leave earlier?"

"I am really sorry about that Harry; I really did want to make friends with Gra… I mean Hermione, but when I went to grab her hand I hesitated as I noticed Pansy on the other side of the hallway. For some reason she was staring right at us with a tray of muffins."

Harry looked at Draco as if wanting to hear more, and he was right, he was going to hear more.

"I'm sorry Harry, but I had to put on the mask I live behind in order to keep what was going on a secret from her, because if Pansy found out, there would be no doubt that everyone else would know."

"It's ok Draco, I understand"

"Do you think we could meet up with Hermione some time soon? I want to apologize for my rude comments."

"Sure, I have no problem with that"

"Now don't get me wrong Potter, I don't mind making amines with Granger, but don't you dare push Ron on me too" Draco slithered.

Harry chuckled a bit before stating that he wouldn't have it any other way.

"Harry?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think we could just lie out here tonight, like we did last night in each others arms?" the young boy asked with a slight blush on his cheeks and a smile.

"Now how could I possibly say no to spending time with you?"

"Your right, you simply couldn't" Draco smirked.

"One thing I can change about this evening is the fact that we are both going to stay warm, dry, and have some food." Harry commented with a smile.

"Stay here Drake, I'm going to get the supplies for the night, and I'll be back as soon as I possibly can."

"Since when do you call me Drake?"

"Since now, when I decided it suited you, and it sounded cute!" Harry replied quickly.

"Well that's not fair!" Draco squealed.

"And why is that sweetie?"

"Because Harry can't be changed into something cute," Draco whined.

"Oh, I bet you will come up with something! Think about it and I'll see you in a bit!" Harry replied while walking off.

Tease. Draco thought before turning to watch Harry walk away from him, and all he could do was flop down on the smooth grass and smile. He knew that Harry would be back soon to be with him, and to comfort him through the night like he had done the previous one.
