Chapter 5

It was now close to Halloween and Draco has missed a total of month of dates with Harry not counting the three weeks detention that he had with Umbridge. And Harry knew that him and his love were growing apart and Harry couldn't lose Draco. So he decided Monday afternoon during Potions he was going to get some answers.

That Monday Harry walked into Potions and sat in his seat beside Draco. Being they sat being the back no one noticed Harry's motion to put his hand on Draco's thigh. Draco liked this but knew Harry was just trying to torture him because he was mad about missing the dates so he pushed his hand away. Harry was upset about this and turned away from the Slytherin just as Snape was informing them of the project they were doing today and order them to work. Draco was already out of his seat gathering ingredients and Harry readied the cauldron.

When Draco came back he immediately began the potion, and Harry immediately began with questions.

"Why haven't you been to our dates"

"You were in detention."

"Yeah for three weeks not a month."

"I didn't know"

"That's BULLSHIT"

"Mister Potter, watch your mouth. 20 points from Gryffindor." Snape called

Harry rolled his eyes and turned back to Draco "I gave you letters telling you to meet me. Did you just ignore them"

"I was afraid you were breaking up with me."

"Why would I do that?"

"I thought you found out Pansy kissed me I thought that was why you were depressed that day I got the letter. I didn't mean for her to Harry she caught me off guard when I was thinking about you"

Harry put his hand on Draco's and said. "I'm not about to lose you Draco."

Draco smiled at Harry then looked down at their hands and saw 'I must not tell lies' on Harry's hand. Draco grabbed his hand gently incase it would hurt the Gryffindor and said "What's this?"

"Nothing"

"Don't lie to me Harry James Potter?"

"I'm fine" Harry snatched his hand away

Hermione was walking by when she heard Draco say: "Harry please you have to tell someone about this. What if the parents knew?"

"I don't have parents Draco. And besides who would believe me I'm 'The Boy Who Lies remember"

"You have the Weasley's remember. And I believe you. I know he's back because he living in my house torturing my mom and me, especially when he talks about your death, that really hurts me Harry"

"He's living in your house… you haven't seen him right"

"No Mother wont let that happen"

"Good"

"Harry I love you please tell someone"

"I love you to but I can't"

Hermione gasped which caught the boys attention. "Hermione" Harry said

"Harry why didn't you tell me about Malfoy"

"I thought you would be mad and hate me"

"Harry I could never hate you"

Just then a black shadow was over Hermione. It was Snape. "Miss Granger, you are to be working on the project NOT socializing in my class det-"

"Wait Professor," Draco interrupted "she wasn't socializing I was asking her for help. You cant take points off the Gryffindorks for my idiot mistake of asking for her help."

"Right. Back to your seat Miss Granger." and off she went to her seat beside Ron with a huge grin on her face.

Harry could hear Hermione telling Ron about him and Draco and hid his face.

OoOoOoOoOo

Draco felt horrible. It wasn't fair that both Harry's friends now knew about him and who he's with. Hermione didn't seem to have a problem with it but the Weasel was giving Harry more hell that he did last year before the first tournament and it pissed Draco off more this year than last year. So for two weeks Draco hexed Ron for torturing and tormenting Harry and threatened him that if he didn't quit tormenting Harry them the torture for him would be worse. Ron never came around though. The battle between them horrified Harry and Hermione because they knew if it continued they would end up killing one another. Harry was afraid to say something so Hermione stepped in. since her and Draco were partners in their Astronomy class she asked him to leave Ron alone that it was upsetting her and Harry and that she would handle Ron. Draco agreed and apologized to her for calling her names and that he wanted to be friends. She accepted and went back to her work. That night Harry and Ron made up, but Ron still didn't like that Harry was with Malfoy.

Harry thanked Draco that Friday at their meet for apologizing to Hermione, and the boys have never been so happy
