Confessions

It was the day after Ginny's betrayal. Draco, not knowing what had happened the night before, got up at 10 in the morning. He felt like he hadn't the whole last week – well rested. After taking a shower he went downstairs to get something to eat. Since it was Saturday morning there were lots of students who had taken their time sleeping just like Draco. As he arrived at the Gryffindor table he sat down next to Ron who was chatting with Hermione.

"I don't know why he doesn't want to eat." Ron was saying as Draco sat down.

Hermione: "But there has to be a reason…normally he's super hungry every morning."

Draco: "Good morning!"

Ron: "Hey mate."

Hermione: "Morning…have you seen Harry?"

Draco: "Uhm not since yesterday night. Why?"

Hermione: "Just cause he isn't coming to breakfast and I thought he might have talked to you."

Ron: "Dear…I've already told you. Harry said he wasn't hungry."

Hermione – looking concerned at Ron: "Someone has to talk with him!"

Draco didn't understand at all what they were talking. He just stared at them chewing his cereal. "So what is it with Harry?" he said after swallowing.

Ron – looking from Hermione to Draco: "Well…he didn't want to get up this morning and he wasn't hungry as he usually is. I don't know what it is, but it seems as if there is something bothering him."

Draco: "Did you ask him?"

Ron opened his mouth and looked away…after some time he said in a low voice… "Nope…not really."

Draco – grinning: "Okay…so maybe you should try that one."

After breakfast Ron was willing to ask Harry what had happened. He stepped into Harry's bedroom and found him still lying under his blanket.

"Get up Harry! It's a beautiful day!" Ron said pulling away the sheets. He didn't let the fact that it was raining outside bothering him.

Harry – mourning: "No, leave me alone…"

Ron sat down on the bed next to Harry: "C'mon Harry…what is it? You know you can tell me everything…don't you?"

Harry sighed and stared out of the window.

Ron: "Something happened last night…right?"

Harry – after a small pause: "I guess so ya. Not just yesterday the last weeks."

Ron: "What do you mean?"

Harry: "Well…let's start with yesterday. You know I had a date with your sister."

Ron: "Yes I think Ginny told me about that."

Harry: "I was about ten minutes late and what happened? She was screwing this other guy."

Ron – his jar fell open: "You're kidding me…"

Harry: "Nope, certainly not."

Ron was dazzled. He could not imagine his sister cheating on Harry since she fell in love with him when she first saw him.

Ron: "Did she explain it to you?"

Harry – laughing: "She told me she couldn't wait forever."

Ron: "I'm sorry dude…what she did is terrible."

Harry: "It's not even that…I'm mad at me for even thinking that I wanted to be with her."

Ron – looking at him interrogative: "What?"

Harry: "You know…it's hard for me to tell you…to tell anyone."

Ron: "Again…you can tell me anything. The only thing that could happen is that I'm gonna laugh…sorry bout that but that's not too bad is it?"

Harry: "Believe me – you're not going to laugh."

Ron: "Now stop this and tell me already!!"

Harry: "…Alright. Well the reason why it didn't hit me that hard is because I think I'm in love with someone else…"

Ron: "Really? You are? So who is she?"

Harry got silent and stared on the floor.

Ron: "Oh please…as long as it's not Hermione…" he laughed.

Harry: "Noo not Hermione! It's not like that…"

Ron: "So it's not Hermione…what else could be too weird to tell me? I mean it's not as if you fell in love with a boy…" he giggled.

Harry blushed immediately and looked at Ron with a shocked expression on his face.

Ron stopped laughing at once: "No…seriously??"

Harry buried his head into his hands not willing to answer anything. Ron didn't know what to do at first. It was an awkward situation but then he realized that nothing had changed. Harry still was his best friend and he needed his help. Ron planted his hand onto Harry's shoulder and said: "It's okay." Harry was surprised about the openness of his friend. In that moment he felt like the happiest person on earth. Ron really was his best friend. He didn't hesitate to hug him.

"Oh but please tell me you didn't fall in love with me…" Ron said.

"No…don't worry about that. I'm not into red heads after all…" they both began to laugh.

Harry felt relieved. He had worried about what people would say but now he realized that the only ones that matter were his friends. And now that Ron knew and was keeping his cool he knew that there wouldn't be any further problems with Hermione. The only thing left was to tell Draco…

'Shall I really tell him? I don't know…he probably doesn't love me in return. Why should he? He thinks I'm with Ginny. Though there were signs…weren't there? It's probably just imagination. But he did kiss me…I wish I could go back to that moment and not…fall off that stupid chair…'

Ron interrupted his thoughts: "So you better get ready then we're going to have a pick-nick with Hermione, Draco oh and well I guess I should tell Ginny not to come anymore…Don't worry I'm gonna tell her right now." He buzzed off heading the common room where Hermione, Ginny and Draco were already waiting.

Ron: "Hey guys!" he faced Ginny "Uhm…sis…I know you looked forward to this but you can't come with us."

Ginny – disappointed look on her face: "What? Why not?"

Hermione: "What the hell are you talking? Why shouldn't she come with us?"

Ron: "So I guess you didn't tell her what you did? Did you? Noo you didn't…"

Ginny – staring at him in anger: "Stop it okay…"

Ron: "Why should I? Why don't you want them to know what you did to him?"

Hermione – facing Ginny: "What is he talking about?"

Ginny – laughing in despair: "Uhm well nothing…" facing Ron "Now shut up! You've no idea what you're talking about."

Ron: "I would have never thought that you would act this way. Cheating on Harry is one thing but then you won't admit it?"

Hermione – her jar dropping open: "No way! You cheated on him??"

Ginny blushed and didn't dare to say a word. She was sheer embarrassed by her acting. She looked down on the floor "I know it's terrible what I did. But you have to understand! I thought…I thought he didn't love me anymore. I felt left alone. He hadn't any time for me anymore; he wasn't looking at me like he did before….he wasn't kissing me the way he did…none! He just didn't love me anymore and it hurt me so much…but I also couldn't just leave him so…so I guess I did that in order him to leave me…" tears were running down her cheek as she turned and ran away up the stairs to the girls dorms.

Harry was standing the whole time at the end of the stairs leading to the boy's dorms. He felt terrible. He hadn't noticed how much he had neglected her. When Draco noticed Harry standing there he said: "Harry…I'm sorry."

Harry was startled. 'So he knows I'm not with her anymore…' "It's okay. You should rather feel sorry for her." He came closer looking on the ground… "If I'm honest it's true what she just said. I wasn't caring for her anymore. She must have felt terrible."

The whole situation was awkward for everybody. There was a long silence and then they decided to reschedule the pick-nick – it was raining anyways. Hermione and Ron left in order to look after Ginny, leaving Harry and Draco behind….

Draco: "So it's just us?"

Harry: "I guess so…uhm you know I have to talk to you…"

Draco: "Sure."

Harry: "Somewhere more private though…"
