27. Admissions and confessions

Harry was running late for school, and was just about to leave when the phone rung.

"Hello?"

"Harry?"

"Draco, hey!"

Suddenly Harry didn't care about being late for school.

"Are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine. When did you get back?"

"Last night. Look, could I come over later? I really need to talk to you."

There was a tone in Draco's voice which struck a chord in Harry's heart.

"Forget later. Meet me in the park in fifteen minutes."

"Don't you have school?"

"Nothing important. I'll just say I'm ill."

"Okay."

"Fifteen minutes then?"

"Sure, see you."

When Harry jogged into the park sixteen minutes later, Draco was already there, sitting under a tree and smoking.

"You should really quit that," said Harry as he sat down opposite Draco.

"I know," sighed Draco, taking another drag before stubbing it out.

"What's up? It sounded really urgent."

"Um, yea. I have to tell you something."

"Okay," responded Harry, eyeing Draco warily, become slightly uneasy.

"Firstly, would you consider us to be...going out together?"

Harry frowned. "We're out right now."

"No, I mean, like, dating?"

The frown was replaced by a small, shy smile. "Yea, I mean, I think so."

Draco was drawn between a smile and utter despair.

'This is gonna be so much harder.'

"Dray, what's going on?"

"When I was in England I got very, very drunk and I kinda kissed this girl, Pansy," he muttered in one breath.

"You...'kinda kissed her'? How can you kinda kiss someone? Either you did or you didn't."

"So I did, but I was unbelievably drunk and-"

"Did you sleep with her?"

"What?"

"Did you fuck her?"

Draco almost winced at Harry's harsh words. "No, I didn't."

Offering a tiny nod, Harry ran his hands through his hair and rubbed his face with them. "This is just...just..."

He broke off, jumping to his feet, looking blankly down at Draco. "I have to go...somewhere...else...that isn't here and...think about...everything."

"Harry, I just thought I should be honest. And I'm really sorry, I can't tell you how bad I feel."

Avoiding Draco's gaze, staring just above his blond head, Harry shrugged. "Yea, well..."

He turned away and began to walk across the park, but suddenly turned back.

Draco's heart began beating faster as Harry came slowly back towards him and squatted just next to him.

"You know," he muttered softly, so only Draco could hear him. "The funny thing is...I really thought I was falling in love with you."

And with that, Harry was up again, walking quickly across the park, silent tears falling across his face and he could swear he felt his heart breaking.

Sorry it took me so long to update and sorry this chapter is really short and I'm sorry it's crap but at least I've done it.

Review please.
