Chapter 10:

Draco sat in his room alone, thankful for the quiet. Having been around so many people in one day almost gave him a panic attack. He sat on his bed breathing, waiting for his heart to finally calm down, when Blaise and Theo entered the room.

"I knew it was only a matter of time before they started fighting again, watching them is the best entertainment every year." He heard Theo laughing.

"I wonder why they fight so much, I wouldn't stay with someone I fought with like that." Blaise said.

"I heard Finnegan was jealous of some guy from Potter's past before he even came to school. I mean come on the guy was only eleven why would it matter after all this time."

Draco moved back towards his pillows now knowing what they were talking about. Why would this Finnegan person be so jealous of him for. He hadn't seen Harry in years and hadn't heard from him since before he ran away.

"I don't know, and I really don't care Theo. Their fighting is getting rather old." Blaise said with a laugh. "Oh hey Draco, didn't see you there, what's wrong." Blaise asked as he saw that Draco had his arms wrapped around a pillow.

"No..nothing. Just tired." He said hoping they would believe him.

"Oh Draco I meant to ask you again since the train, how do you know Potter?" Theo asked as he sat on his bed, Draco froze when the question was asked and went to flee. Blaise grabbed his arm and pulled him towards him fast, making them fall with Blaise landing on top of Draco on his bed. Draco stiffened not knowing what to do. Blaise looked down into his eyes with a smile on his face and moved his hips gently into Draco before getting up. Draco felt something hard dig into his leg while Blaise moved and swallowed hard.

"Why do you always flee when we ask you that question?" Theo sounded serious.

"I don't want to talk about it, just drop it al…alright." Draco sat back up after gathering himself and refused to look at the other two in the room.

"Why, you always seem to stare at him, shut down when he is around and flee when someone asks you about him. We all know you know him and it had to be before you came." Theo stopped talking and his eyes grew wide, "Shit" Draco thought knowing the very smart boy just put two and two together.

"HOLY CRAP!" Theo spat out making Blaise look at him funny.

"What?" Blaise asked.

"You don't get it Blaise, my god, he is the one Potter and his boyfriend are fighting about." Draco dropped his head hating his life. He never wanted anyone to know about him and Harry. He heard Blaise gasp and looked up at the other boy seeing his fists clenching at his sides.

"That's not true is it? IS IT?" Draco heard Blaise practically yell, not understanding why the boy would be so mad.

"I knew him…from…from when I lived with my Uncle." Draco said and saw Blaise start to pace the room.

"You didn't think we should know this?"

"Why…why would it..matter. I….haven't seen him since….he star…started here." Draco replied.

"It's fucking Harry Potter and you were friends with him, god the way him and his boyfriend fight about you it must have been more than just friends." Blaise slammed his hand against the wall and swore from the pain. Draco scooted father back on his bed not wanting to be around him.

"I..I.. still..don't see….ho…how..it matters." Draco found himself face to face with Blaise at that moment and became slightly scared.

"Did you love him, do you right now? Was there a relationship between the two of you?" Blaise asked, Draco hung his head. Him and Harry never really said they were together, never said I love you to each other in person. The first time Harry ever said those words were in a letter the first year he was gone.

"Not…Not really."

"Not really what, in love or in a relationship?" Blaise asked

"In..rel…relationship."

"FUCK, so you love him?" Blaise looked like he was about to cry and Draco couldn't understand it.

"Why..Does….I..it…matter?" He asked

"Because I like you, you fucking prat and I'm not about to keep trying to slowly show you that if you are in love with someone else FUCK." Blaise left the room, slamming the door shut behind him. Draco watched the door in shock for a few moments before turning to Theo.

"He…He doesn't…ev..even know me….how…how can…he..he say…he likes….m…me?" He asked the other boy.

"It's kinda of like love at first sight man. He hasn't been able to stop talking about you since the train. He will still be your friend don't worry about that." He said at seeing the look on Draco's face.

"I….I didn't know."

"How could you not, every one in our house knows. He hasn't hid it at all with the way he acts with you." Theo looked half in shock not understanding how Draco couldn't tell with the way Blaise kept touching him and always being around him.

"I…I've never had a boyfriend. Never had anyone."

"What about Potter, thought you said you loved him." Theo asked.

"We hung out….at a park everyday. Got to…to know each other. Never did anything…we were only eleven when he left. First time he…he…said he lo..lov..loved me was in a letter. I haven't seen him since then until just before I came here."

"So you weren't in a relationship with him but you still love him."

"He was the first person to ever show interest in me. My first friend. I fell in l..lo..love with him yes. He….he. I..just found out some stuff….recently…from him and he broke my heart. I've been trying to stay away from him. It's just ha…hard."

"What happened to you as a kid. I would think a Malfoy wouldn't be afraid of anything, people are usually afraid of the Malfoy's."

"Like I said before, I just met my father. Never knew my real last name. My Uncle never talked about my family, told me they were all de….dead. When I ran away. I tried to find this place….tried to find Ha…Harry. He was the only person I thought I could tru…trust."

"Well, just give Blaise some time, he'll come around. I'll try to talk to him and let him know what you told me. Just stay away from Potter and his friends, they really don't seem to like you. I won't tell anyone about you and Potter and I'll make sure Blaise doesn't either."

"Thank you Theo."

"No problem, us snakes have to stick together."

Draco nodded before he left the room and went to go find Severus, he really needed to talk to him after everything that happened in just a couple days.
