Harry left the Great Hall early not wanting to run into Ron or Hermione. He sat in the dorm room thinking about the predicament he was in. There was a thunderclap from outside as it started to rain, before he knew it he was crying. There was a knock at the door, and Harry tried to wipe the tears as he said'come in'.
"I'm sorry about the way I acted earlier." were the first words out of Ron's mouth.
"What? No!...it was my fault that I didn't push him away when he tried to kiss me-"
"Tried to kiss you, Harry, he did!...and you let him."
"Ron, please don't get angry, I know you don't like Draco, but he offered to go out with me, and I accepted. I mean there aren't that many guys willing to go out with me here."
"Well you could've asked me, I mean I am your best friend."
"WHAT!?...I really am saying that too much."
"Well, I don't know...I'm just being a prat." Ron said this as he climbed into bed, and turned off is lamp.
"Ron?" Harry said, but when there was no reply, he gave up and went to bed.
There was always tension in the air between Harry and his two best friends, even when they started the D.A. as the year wore on. Harry continued to date Draco, Hogsmeade visits, sitting with eachother during class, and so on. Everything seemed so repetative, that was until he had the dream. It wasn't the normal one, in this one he was Nagini, and he attacked Mr.Weasley.
He awoke screaming, and in a cold sweat, Ron freaked once he found out what happened. They were rushed to Dumbledore's office, and thankfully Mr.Weasley was found in time. The trio were to stay at Grimwald Place for the remainder of the holiday. Ron was a bit kinder now, but Hermione wasn't. Harry really wanted to break up with Draco now, who wanted him to do things Harry wouldn't even consider,(well not right away) doing with Ron, but he wasn't sure how to. Maybe he could talk to Sirius, he could also mention the dream...
He got his chance when Mrs.Weasley was serving lunch in the room over, and Sirius stayed behind in the room they had been cleaning. He was examening the old Black family tree on the wall.
"Sirius, I..uh, was wondering if I could talk to you?" Way to start the conversation Harry, he told himself.
"I believe you already are." he said back.
"Right, well...hypopthetical situation; say you've fallen in love with your best friend, and now are dating someone to make them jealous, and it was working, but the other person who's supposed to get jealous and go with the other person you're dating is too stubborn to admit their feelings, so they're still dating you, what would you do?"
"That's quit a detailed 'hypothetical' situation."
"Um, yeah" Harry said blushing a little.
"Well, I'd go ahead and admit my feelings to Ron, and then dump the other person as soon as you get back to Hogwarts."
"Yeah but...wait how do you know I'm not talking about Hermione?"
"So it is you in that situation, and it's not her because I know what you're going through." Sirius finished.
"Huh?" Harry said.
"Promise that you won't tell anyone about this?"
"Sure." Harry said a little uneasy.
"I was in love with Remus."
"WHAT!?"
"Still am...we're kind of going out behind Molly's back."
"WHAT!?"
"Yeah, it all started in my fith year, when I realized what my feelings for my best friend meant."
"How'd you end up together?' Harry said, now fully obsorbing the shock.
"Well, I just kissed him, New Years eve as the clock chimed."
"What happened?'
"Well, he kissed back."
"Wow..."
"Well, let me know if my advice helps."
"Right." Harry said as he went to get a sandwich. maybe he could try the same with Ron...Harry thought, completely forgetting about the dream. He was happy again, he was going to get Ron, no matter what it took, before he even went back to Hogwarts. If it works, of course it will, now stop thinking bad thoughts, and enjoys the holiday, maybe I will...he argued with himself as he ate his lunch, before returning to cleaning, now happier than he'd been in awhile.
