For the next week Harry didn't think about Draco once, he couldn't be happier. Draco hadn't bothered him either and this made it twice as good.
"Harry," Ginny said. Harry looked up to see her standing in front of him. "I think it's time we take a break," she said. He saw tears forming in her eyes.
"What? Why?" he asked as he jumped up.
"I just don't think we were meant to be together... I have nothing against you, honestly, I just..." she couldn't finish.
"Ginny, we can work through this," Harry said alarmed that she might actually say the words it's over.
"No we can't..." she sobbed. "We can't Harry because I've been cheating," she said before running up the stairs to the girl's dormitory. Harry sat on the couch speechless.
"Harry?" Hermione said as she and Ron sat next to him. "We heard the whole thing..." she confessed. Harry just sat there. Ron got up and headed up the stairs, a few seconds later Hermione and Harry could hear a pounding noise.
"We need to talk," they heard Ron say. The door closed and it went quiet again.
"Harry, maybe we should go and get some fresh air," Hermione suggested. Harry just shook his head. Minutes later Ron came downstairs followed by Ginny.
"Harry... I'm sorry," she said softly.
"Don't be, I just want you to be happy," Harry replied trying to hold his voice at a steady tone. "I'm going for a walk," he said before he left. The tears slid down his cheeks but he didn't care, he really thought she was the one, obviously not. He didn't exactly know where he was going but he wanted to be away from everyone, he just wanted to be by himself. Rounding another corner he collided and fell to the ground.
"Shit, sorry, you ok? Let me help you up," Harry looked up to see Draco making a fuss; he stared for a moment then got up.
"I'm fine," Harry said before continuing on his way.
"You don't look fine," Draco called after him.
"I guess you wouldn't be if your girlfriend just broke up with you either!" Harry snapped. Draco dropped his gaze to the ground. Harry mentally kicked himself, why was it that every time he was upset he took it out on someone else. "Sorry... I'm just..." He didn't exactly know what to say, especially to Draco who was supposed to hate him but was actually in love with him.
"You're just upset, angry, wondering why?" Draco finished Harry's sentence. Harry nodded and was furious with himself that he was this vulnerable in front of Draco and he waited for Draco to kick him while he was down, rub salt into his wounds but he didn't instead he wrapped his arm around his shoulder, took him into the broom cupboard and soon they were sitting in Draco's living room again.
"Wanna tell me what happened?" Draco asked.
"Not really," Harry replied.
"That's ok... But if you do talk about it you might feel better," Draco said. Harry sat and thought for a moment then nodded.
"I think I will tell you," Harry said. Draco nodded and turned to face Harry.
