Draco Malfoy and the Chamber of Secret Love Letters

By Nanaki BH

What could he have been laughing about? That bothered me through the entire class right until the very end. Ron was confused the entire rest of class and Hermione was probably making arrangements for our wedding already. I'm surprised at how well she took to the idea. Ron just kept looking from me to Malfoy, wondering if something 'strange' was going on. After class Hermione pulled me aside as everyone else climbed down the ladder. She waved to Ron, telling him to leave without us. Once she was sure everyone was gone she turned back to me. She stared deep into my eyes, like how Trelawney had looked at me numerous times before. Deciding that she found something that pleased her, she backed away from me and smiled. "You like him don't you?" she asked.

Well... that was vague. "Like who?" I asked; trying to sound as confused as I possibly could. She slapped me on the shoulder.

"Draco, of course! I've seen you looking at him in all our classes. What's been going on with those birds?" she tapped her foot, awaiting an answer.

I hesitated. "You mean the origami birds? Well, you see, he's sent me a few before. They usually just show some cruel little scene being played out in a miniature animation. During potions he apparently sent me the wrong bird and he didn't realize it until it was sent." I shuffled my feet. I wasn't sure if I wanted her to see the bird he gave me.

"What was it?" I knew she was going to ask. I pulled the wadded paper ball out of my pocket and reluctantly handed it to her. I watched in slow motion as she pulled open the ball and stared at it blankly. I felt the hair on my back prickle. I watched... and waited.

And she smiled. "Oh Harry, he just has a crush on you! I could have told you that! He obsesses over you like a school girl. You didn't have any idea did you?" She raised an eye brow in amusement.

"Well," I could feel my cheeks go hot. "I always thought he was just messing with me. He always did seem very... delicate though. Yes, very delicate." I laughed. Geez, it was pretty obvious once you get to thinking about it. I remember when he'd fall from his broom and get a cut and act like he was already in his grave. Yeah, he's a fairy.

She leaned in next to me so she could whisper in my ear. "But does he know, Harry? I mean, you like him too, right?" Man, I must be blushing now. "Those last two birds mean you're a couple, right?" Aw, now my hearts beating all fast and fluttery now too! Teeny-bopper moment! Oh, Lord... I'm going to hell.

She gave me a pat on the back. "Congratulations!" She cheered. "Go find him and ask him out, you stud!" She turned on her heel to leave, but I caught the back of her robe. She shot me an inquisitive glance. "What, do you need more advice?"

I sighed. "Well... where would I ask him out to? Is there actually anywhere around here we can go? We're pretty sheltered, you know." I would love to ask him out, but you know that's true. I would love to see the look on Cho's face when she finds out that we're together! This is exciting!

"Hogsmeade," Hermione said simply. "Take him to Madame Puddifoot's then." She laughed almost maliciously. "We can hope that Cho will find you. Imagine her expression when she sees you kissing Draco instead of her! Priceless! I've been meaning to bitch slap her myself as of late. She's a real priss, I tell you." She huffed and threw her head in the air. "I'll be off now, Harry. Go find lover boy."

I thought for a second, slightly confused now. "But... what day is it?" I asked.

"It's the Hogsmeade weekend, Harry! Go track him down! Get him to go with you!" She got behind me and started to push me down the hall. "Get going!"

Author's Note: That was extremely short, but the next chapters should be hilarious fun to write... or read, in your case. Tell me how you like it so far. I hope I'm not confusing anyone. Yes, Draco likes Harry. Yes, he will ask him out. Yes, there will be much fun with Cho-bashing. Enjoy! Review!
