Chapter 7

Pansy cocked her head to the side and smiled. "No, not Blaise. I suspect that Blaise's soul mate is somewhere else. But. . . .Wasn't there a Golden Embrace on Potter today too?"

Luna frown, "I didn't see one on him." she said trying to recall one on Harry. "You saw one?"

Harry said the password and entered and saw Hermione and Ron sitting together. He sat down near them and lean close. "We need to talk. In Private." he said quickly and quietly.

Pansy smiled and nodded like a fan girl. "I did, I did! It was on his hand when he came into the pitch today. Luna, if I tell you something, do you promise not to tell anyone?"

Hermione looked up, from the conversation they were having, to see that Harry was looking very serious. She frowned but nodded. "We can go into my room if you want. No one will bother us there."

Luna smiled and nodded, "I promise. I'll keep my word." she said. "What is it?"

Harry nodded, "Yeah. Come on." he said putting his left hand in his pocket and walking over to Hermione's room and waited.

Ron raised an eyebrow as he followed. "You don't think he found out about Ginny?" he whispered to Hermione.

Pansy looked around to make sure no one was around, and then brought Luna really close. "Draco Malfoy is deeply and completely in love with Harry Potter."

Hermione looked at Ron then Harry. "I sure hope not." They reached her room and she whispered the password, the door swinging open. She let them go in first then closed the door after herself. "So, Harry. What did you want to talk about?

Luna gasps, "Really? Are you serious? Was that what you try to say at the Quidditch field?" she asks.

"I think I know what it is but I want you two to tell me first." he said taking his hand out of his pocket and shows it to them.

"Dude, you got a tattoo without me?" Ron said seeing the butterfly. "But, why a butterfly?"

"Ron I didn't get a tattoo and if I did I won't get a butterfly." he said growing annoyed but was waiting to hear Hermione answer better.

Pansy smiled and nodded. "Yup, and I assure you, it's the truth!"

Hermione stared at the tattoo and took Harry's hand in her own. She ran her fingers over it and saw that there was no way that was ink. "Harry . . . . Have you ever seen a Golden Embrace?" she asked cautiously.

Luna eyes widen, "But Harry is with Ginny? And I've never seen him have a liking toward Draco." she said. "But then again...Ginny have cheated on Harry and I think he knows...."

Harry looked down sheepishly, "Um....yeah I have....Mostly the entire afternoon it was with me...." he said."But I thought I killed it right now when I felt it but instead I felt this burn and it was there."

Ron moved closely to look at it. "Oh, can we hope that it's a tattoo? Because that means that you're...soul mate has one too." he said. "I've heard of it before......"

Pansy scoffed. "Who hasn't heard of Weaselett's escapades? She's done plenty of Slytherin's too, you know."

Hermione nodded. "True Love's Kiss." She smiled at both of them. "Oh Harry, you have no idea how romantic this is! Only very few couples are visited by Golden Embraces. To think, you'll get to know who your soul mate is! Very few people have that privilege. And don't worry, you didn't kill it. Golden Embraces can only be killed if you kill both soul mates at the same time."

Luna raised an eyebrow, "Really? I didn't...Well if Harry doesn't know then it's ...a little sad...." She frowns in disapproval.

Harry frowned, "It's not that romantic...But how will I found out who my soul mate is? You think its Ginny do you?" he asked turning to both of them.

Ron frown a bit and shrug, "Maybe, but she's been with Lavender the whole time.....Maybe it's not Ginny. Maybe it's some other girl." Ron said as he looks at Harry.

Pansy nodded. "But. . . he's so lost in love-land, he can't realize that she's so . . . not right for him."

Or maybe it's a certain Slytherin Prince, she thought wryly. "Well, whoever it is, Harry, let's just hope you find them quickly."

Luna was still frowning. "Maybe...I've tried talking to Ginny about not leading him on but she just doesn't listen." she said looking down but shrug. "Well....Harry needs someone new. It's been a long while since he's been truly happy."

Harry shook his head, "....I guess..." he said, than gave a sigh. "Draco got hit at the Quidditch field....I saved him." he said recalling about the other thing he needed to tell them as he now calmed about the butterfly issue.

Ron smiled, "Is he dead?" he joked. "Wish I was there."

Pansy smiled and hugged her girlfriend. "Don't worry, Luna. Draco has the forces of nature working with him. There's no way Harry's not falling for him."

Hermione glared daggers at her boyfriend before turning to Harry. "What did he get hit with? Where is he now? Where there any injuries?"

Luna hugged her back and gave her a kiss. "I hope so. But it's a surprise that Draco likes Harry. I've always thought he hated him." she said.

Harry ignored Ron and turn to Hermione. "He got hit by a Blugger. He fell off his broom so I went and save him....He broke his rib but Madame Pomfrey healed him already." he said. "He's still planning on patrolling with you."

Ron shrug, "Maybe it wasn't a bad hit. If he's so willing to patrol than he must be fine." he said.

Pansy smiled and wrapped her arm around Luna's waist, continuing their walk to Blaise. "Well, you know... .There's a thin line between love and hate. And Draco and Potter are just too alike not to be soul mates."

Hermione nodded and smiled. "Good, then I can talk to him about our Potions essay due Monday. I'm sure he's done with it already." She said, giving both of them pointed stares.

Luna smiled as she moved closer to her, "So Draco isn't in love with Blaise?" she asked.

Ron rolled his eyes, "The boy just almost got killed and you want to talk to him about Potion?" he asks.

"Well, that's better than talking about Pansy and Luna dating." he said looking at them then bit his lips. "Ops."

Pansy nodded. "They're just bed mates. Blaise loves beautiful things and he considers Draco to be one of them. And Draco just needs release from all his Potter-induced anxiety."

Hermione stared at him with eyes wide. "WHAT!?" but then she calmed down. ". . . See, I told you guys that there were same-sex couples in the school."

Luna raised both her eyebrow as she listen. "Does Blaise mind? It doesn't found fair to him." she said.

Harry look at her, "You just gave the most shocked expression...but yeah I see your point now..."

"Luna with Pansy?" Ron said confused. "That is weirder than Neville and Seamus."

Pansy shook her head. "No, he doesn't mind. He loves Draco like a brother and would do anything he wants. . . . Of course, most of the time, Blaise is the one who comes onto Draco."

Hermione laughed. "Well, of course it's odd, but not because they're girls. I just never really saw any interaction between them. I didn't even know that they knew the other existed."

Luna nodded as she looked around at where they're heading. "Where are we?" she asked.

"Yeah but for a while I thought Luna was going to be with Neville...But I guess....." he trailed off. "Never mind."

Ron smiled, "I know what you mean....But that's true. I didn't know Luna knew Pansy. Or talk to her."

Pansy stopped to look around. . . "I don't know...we should head down to the lower floors though. I think Blaise might be in the dungeon."

Hermione smiled and shrugged. "Well, as long as they're happy, we shouldn't judge. So what are you going to do about your True Love's Kiss, Harry?"

Luna turn to Pansy, "Is it safe for me to go down?" she asked a little concern.

Harry looked at his hand. "I don't know...I don't want to look at every girls hand just to see if they're my soul mate." he said.

"Then just wait and let that person come to you." Ron said as he sat down on the bed and lay down.

Pansy smiled and nodded. "I'm the Slytherin Princess. As if they could defy me. Don't worry, they won't do anything to you."

Hermione scoffed and looked over at Ron. "And how is he doing that? Will he post up an announcement stating that he received a True Love's Kiss? Do you know how crazy people would go over that?"

Luna look around and turn to Pansy, "Alright." she said a little nervous. She's never been down here before and it was very cold.

Harry gave a sigh, "I wouldn't want that. And it's our last year. I can't just wait till we're done with school." he said.

"Hey I was only saying." Ron said looking at them. "I don't know what you should do."

Pansy wrapped her arm tighter around Luna when they got down to the dungeons. There was a Slytherin 1st year running by and Pansy flagged him down. "You, is Blaise in the common room?" While the boy looked scared out of his mind to have Pansy talk to him, he nodded quickly. "Good, thanks."

Hermione shrugged. "Then I guess there's nothing to do but wait. Perhaps, you'll find your soul mate before the year is through."

Luna watched the scared boy leave and took a deep breath as she moved close to Pansy.

"Well the year is almost ending. Christmas is next week...Which remind me...Ron, I'm still not sure if I'm staying at your place." he said.

"Why? I thought you told Ginny yes? She was telling me earlier." Ron said as he sat up.

Pansy walked up the portrait of the snake and said, "Young Academics on Ice," loudly and clearly. The portrait opened without much difficulty and Pansy led Luna through.

"Really Harry. You always spend Christmas at the Burrow."

Luna smiled at the password but it fades quickly when Pansy leads her inside. "Are you sure?" she asks again. "I am fine waiting outside."

Harry gave a shrug, "I'm just not in the Christmas spirit at the moment." he said. "But I haven't decided yet. I have just a few more days to decide........."

"But its Christmas Harry." Ron said. "You have to be with us. Your family to us. It'll break mum's heart."

Pansy shook her head. "I'd much rather have you inside where I can keep an eye on you. If I leave you outside, some snotty little Slytherin's could try something on you." She hugged her close. "And I don't want you hurt."

"We shouldn't go to those extremes either, Ron. You can't guilty him by mentioning your mom, it's not fair. Besides, it's Harry's life."

Luna looked at her and nodded, "Okay." she said as she saw more Slytherin and they were looking at them.

Harry groaned as he falls back on the bed and looked up. "Okay really? It's just one Christmas. Your family made up every Christmas that I never had." he said to Ron. "One missed Christmas is okay for me to miss.

"Are you sure, Harry?" Ron said. "And I'm not trying to guilt you."

Pansy looked around and spotted Blaise. But she also noticed all the other Slytherins looking at her and she frowned. "What the hell are you all looking at, you little urchins!?" she yelled. They all quickly look away.

Blaise sighed and stood up, looking over at Pansy. He only quirked an eyebrow at seeing Luna, but dismissed his surprise with a smile. So, she had gotten her way. "Ah, it's always so lovely to hear your heart-warming yells of fury, my Queen."

Hermione smiled and lay down on the bed too. They were just three best friends sharing a bed and words. "Well, I'm sure you will have some serious issues to think about, but don't forget us during vacation, will you Harry?"

Luna bit her lips almost wanting to smile as Pansy was scaring the Slytherin away than saw Blaise. She took a deep breath and looked straight at him to ignore the other students.

Harry turn to Hermione, "Of course I won't forget you! I must admit that it won't be fun without you two but I'm not feeling Christmas this year." he said looking up as he spoke than sits up and turn to Hermione. "What do you mean serious issues to think about?"

Ron turn to Hermione then turned to Harry, "Well, your hand. If you're going to be staying then it could be a good time to think of who your soul mate is." he said. "That's pretty serious."

Pansy rolled her eyes and smiled at Blaise. "Dray needs a favor. He needs you to go and get his broom from the Quidditch Pitch and put away the game equipment."

Blaise stopped in front of the girls and frowned. "Why can't he do it himself? And what is this lovely vixen doing here?" he asked, smiling at Luna and bowing.

Hermione nodded, reaching over to hold both boys' hands. "I have a feeling we're all going to have something serious to think about during break."

Luna finally smiled than frown wondering what Blaise would think of what happened to Draco. She decided to remain silent since she'll know that Pansy is better to tell him than her.

Ron frown, "I have nothing to think about. I thought you have forgotten about that silly thought you had." he said.

"What silly thought?" Harry asked turning to Ron.

She frowned and looked away. "There was an accident. But he's fine now, just sleeping. But he really needs you to go and get his things." Then she wrapped an arm around Luna. "And Luna and I are a couple."

Blaise felt something grip his heart tightly when he heard that Draco had been hurt. But he only felt some relief when she said he was okay. "My my. . .congratulations you two. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go perform some chores for my love~!" Then, with a more serious tone, he said. "I'll see you later, Pans." And he walked out of the common room.

Hermione turned to Ron, confused as well. "What silly thought, Ron?"

Luna watch him leave and frown, "He took it so calmly....I don't know if I can believe that...." she said as she watch him leave.

"You know..." Ron said eyeing her.

"Ew, Ron!" Harry got up from the bed. "I know that you two are doing that, but please I don't want to hear about that."

Pansy looked at him with a frown as well. "He left quickly so that he could panic more easily when he leaves. Right now, he's running through the halls, bumping into people, but determined to do what Draco asked of him so that he can go visit him more quickly."

And that was exactly what Blaise was doing. He was already halfway through the maze like dungeons, with only one thought in mind. Please let my little Slytherin prince be okay.

"Ronald! How many times have I told you not to talk about that when Harry's here!?" she said with a blush.

Luna saw the door close behind him and frown more. "Oh...But he'll be better when he does see that Draco is fine."

"What? Harry's old enough to hear this and beside it's not like we're hiding anything." he said sitting up. "Harry, you know that you wouldn't care what we do, right?"

"No, I don't care. But still Ron." Harry said as he stood up.

Pansy nodded. "Yeah, he will be better once he sees him. Honestly, I would have reacted the same way. To us, Draco is our Harry."

Blaise had finally made it outside and now he ran full speed to the field. He was panting slightly, but to him, it didn't matter.

"While I agree that Harry is plenty old enough to be hearing about sex, I doubt it will make him comfortable to have his best friends talk about doing that with each other."

Luna looked at her and smiled, "I see..." she said then gave a small sigh. "Now what?" she ask.

Harry rolled his eyes. "Okay, we got it clear. No best friend sex talk. New subject please?" he said taking a seat in a chair that was near the bed.

Ron fell back on the bed, laying down. "Whatever. I don't know.... But if you do get a tattoo Harry, make sure it's not a butterfly." he said.

Pansy smiled and hugged Luna close. "Well, is there anyone special you want to tell now? We already told my friends."

Blaise got to the pitch and saw Draco's broom lying in the middle of the field. The box containing the balls was open and lying a bit away from it was an immobile Bludger and a Snitch. He walked over and put it away.

Hermione giggled. "I'm sure Harry would get something more dignified. Maybe, a Dragon?"

Luna blushed, "Well, I'm sure that Harry already told Ron and Hermione...And well...The only person I can think of is Ginny and Neville but you don't like Ginny." she said still blushing knowing that they're really isn't anyone to tell.

Harry smiled, "A dragon? Haven't somebody already made a rumor that I had one?" he ask.

"I think so. Wasn't it somewhere in your chest or something?" Ron laughed. "More than likely you'll have a snitch...."

Pansy cocked her head to the side and pretended to think. "Then . . . we'll go tell Longbottom then."

Once everything was where it was supposed to go, Blaise took Draco's broom and mounted it, flying towards the infirmary.

Hermione smiled inwardly. No need to tell them that Draco is short for Draconis and that that means Dragon. "A Snitch would be nice too. Gold and Silver." hint hint?

Luna smiled and nodded, "Let's go." she said knowing that Neville would be happy since he's with Seamus and they can finally have something to talk about.

Harry thought on that. "Maybe....And actually the dragon isn't a half bad idea." he said. "But I've got time to think that later."

"Yeah, true." Ron said. "I don't know what I would get if I get a tattoo."

Pansy nodded and dragged Luna out of the common room. "Any idea where they might be?"

Blaise finally found a window leading into the infirmary and stepped in through the open glass. Madame Pomfrey looked at his disapprovingly but he just grinned sexily at her. She blushed and walked away, leaving him alone with the blond in the bed. He walked over and set the broom against the wall, sitting on the bed with Draco in the same manner as Pansy had. "Dray?"

Hermione nodded and looked down at herself. "Where would you guys get them, anyway?" she asked, roaming her body with her eyes.

"What time is it now?" Luna asked as she thought about it.

Ron smiled as he look at Hermione. "I know where you can get one." he said.

Harry rolled his eyes, "Ron!" he said sitting further back in his seat.

Pansy looked down at her watch and said, "A little past 10."

Blaise frowned when Draco didn't stir and he sighed, making himself comfortable next to the blond. "I guess you need your rest, but you don't mind if I talk with you, right?"

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Honestly Ron, can you get your mind out of your pants in the day, at least?"

Luna thought about it, "Maybe in the north tower?" she said. "I hear that he and Seamus hang there sometimes."

Ron shrug, "What?" he ask.

"If you open your mouth one more time about sex then I'm out." Harry said.

Pansy nodded and ushered Luna out of the common room. "Ah yes, I had heard that he and Longbottom had gotten together. How peculiar that even though he's surrounded by gay couples, Potter doesn't realize how much he loves Draco."

"Well, Dray. You have no idea how scared I got when Pansy told me what happened. Just the thought of my little Prince being hurt killed me."

"Forget that. One more sexual comment and he's out of this room."

Luna thought about that then shrug, "Well...actually for some reason many of us have kept it a secret from him...." Luna said. "And I have no idead that Draco would have feelings towards him."

"What? Oh, come on!" Ron frowned looking at both of them. "Fine! I won't."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Good. So what do you guys want to do?" he ask.

I would understand that. Potter and his lackey, Weasely, don't seem to be very supportive people. Glad they have Granger for that though, that girl will set them right," she said with a firm nod. "And Draco has been in love with Potter since I can remember. It was always masked as hate, though. "

"But, I'm glad you're safe now. I don't know what I would do if I lost my best friend. Honestly, you prat! I thought you had fallen on purpose, just so you wouldn't have to face Potter again. But that's not like you, is it?"

Hermione looked at her watch. "Well, dinner starts in half an hour. So we have until 6:30 to do something. And I actually wanted to visit Draco again."

Luna thought about this and smiled, "I see....Well If only Hermione knows then she can help." Luna said. "If it makes them both happy then why not ask for some help."

Ron smiled, "Food. Okay well, how about we make our way down and see what is down there while we wait."

Harry smiled, "It's always about food for you....and that...." he said his smile fade in the end.

"Well, we should have a meeting and discuss how we'll get them together."

He softly stroked the pale hand in his grasp and looked down. He gasped and help up the hand, peering closely at the back of it.

"Well I'll be . . . you got a True Love's Kiss, Draco. How in the bloody hell?"

Hermione rolled her eyes and stood up from the bed. "Well you two can go down to the Great Hall. I'll go check on Draco. Besides, I have to patrol with him and I want to make sure that he'll be able to handle it."

Luna smiled, "I think that is a great idea." she said as they start heading up the tower.

Ron frown, "You're leaving? To go see him?" he asks.

"Oh come on Ron. She is patrolling with him so she should go see him." Harry said getting up as well. "I'm serving anyway so let's get going."

Pansy nodded and climbed the stairs, looking for Longbottom and his boyfriend.

"Hm . . . wonder if Potter has the other butterfly to this one." He traced the marking with his finger. "Merlin . . . I hope you get what you want, Draco."

Hermione nodded and hugged both the boys, kissing Ron on the lips and Harry on the cheek. "I'll see you both at the Great Hall then." She waved and left the room, making her way to the infirmary.

Luna looked around the north tower than saw the two boys talking. "Hi, Neville!" she said.

Ron gave a sigh as they exit the room and making they're way out the common room. "So want hang after dinner once Hermione start her patrol?" he ask.

Harry shrug, "Sure. I have nothing to do. What do you want to do?"

Pansy looked at Longbottom snuggled up in Finnegan's arms. Figured that Longbottom would be . . . well .. . .the bottom. In the relationship, that is.

"Hm . . . . since you're unconscious. . . I suppose you wouldn't mind my petting you, would you?" asked Blaise mischievously, running a hand underneath Draco's shirt, his fingers skirting over the smooth skin underneath.

"Stop right there, Zabini. I'm sure Malfoy wouldn't appreciate the gesture," said Hermione, walking into the room and pointing an accusing finger at the darker boy.

Luna raised an eyebrow seeing them smacking each other's lips than cleared her throat to present their presence.

Ron shrugged trying to pretend like he wasn't sure. "I don't know...Maybe go wonder around." he said.

"Alright. Sure." he said as they go down the steps. "So....I think you have an addiction."

Pansy only smirked coyly when the couple sprung apart with a blush. But Finnegan quickly took the smaller male into his arms, hugging him protectively when he spotted Pansy. She rolled her eyes. "Honestly, Finnegan. Like I would come all the way over here just to hex your boyfriend."

Blaise pouted and let go of Draco, crossing his arms across his chest in a put-out manner. "You're no fun, Granger. I was merely comforting him with my familiar touch."

Hermione rolled her eyes and seated herself on the other side of the blond. "I'm sure there are plenty of instances in which you and Malfoy have been able to familiarize each other with your touch."

Luna smiled as she hugged Pansy then turn to Neville. "Guess what? Me and Pansy are dating." she said.

"What do you mean addiction?" he asked turning to him. "Have you been talking to Hermione?"

Harry laughed and shook his head. "No, I haven't but you do. All you've been thinking about is sex. Don't think I can't hear you in the Great Hall while we're eating." he said. "Even Ginny told me that she can hear you two."

Pansy wrapped an arm protectively around Luna, just like Finnegan had done. She pecked Luna's cheek quickly, confirming what her girlfriend had said. Finnegan and Longbottom looked at them mildly surprised; the smaller one had his mouth open in shock. "Surprised?"

Blaise grinned sexily and shrugged. "What can I say? Draco is very hard to resist. And very fun to explore."

Hermione laughed and looked up into his equally brown eyes. "Yes, I'm sure he is. Now if only Harry could see that."

Luna blushed and looks at the two boys. "We just got together today." she conform them and was feeling awkward by the silence.

Ron snorted. "I don't have a sex addiction." he said as they came to the finally staircase.

Harry smiled and rolled his eyes. "Yes, you do. Don't you hear yourself?" he asks. "You've been trying to have sex with Hermione all day."

Pansy nodded when the boys sent her curious looks. No, she would not harm Luna. Yes, she treasured the blonde in her arms.

"Well. . . congratulations, Luna." said Longbottom, releasing himself from Finnegan to try and hug the Ravenclaw. Pansy released her hold on Luna, allowing Longbottom to hug his friend.

Blaise raised an eyebrow at her. "So . . . you are on our side. Finally realized that Potter is useless without our Draco on his side?"

Hermione rolled her eyes again. "While I do concede that I am on your side, I don't think that Harry is quite useless without Draco . . . but anything, for Merlin's sake, ANYTHING is better than Ginny."

Luna hugged Neville and smiled, "Thank you." she said than Seamus when he opened his arms.

"Well....I...Wait, Ginny told you that she listens?" he asks disgusted. "I need to talk to her. Even Hermione told me that."

"Well, you're setting a bad example to her." Harry said. "You're giving her ideas and I don't think you'll be happy with that"

Pansy eyed Longbottom warily, making sure he made no sudden movements while approaching her. His extended hand made her stiffen, but the slight, if not nervous, smile on his face made him look completely harmless. She slowly placed her hand into his larger, warmer one and they shook, feelings of apprehension and wariness disappearing. Pansy even managed a smile for him.

He scowled. "Oh right . . . the Weaselette. Can you believe that she's slept with three 7th year Slytherins? Disgusting, really. I had to spend the night with Draco just so that I didn't have to be in the same room with her and her conquests. Have you any idea how horrible it is to see your dorm mate's bed move when you know who's the one riding the snake behind those curtains? Absolutely horrible."

Hermione grimaced at the mental picture. "Thank you, Zabini. Really, I needed that," she said sarcastically. She looked down at the unconscious boy between them and reached up to slightly run her fingers through his hair in a motherly manner. "I am well aware of Ginny's activities."

Luna saw the difficulty in Pansy and releases her hug from the boy, "So how long have both of you been dating?" she asked going back to Pansy and took her hand.

Ron frown remembering what Hermione said and wrinkle his nose. "Yeah....Your right...Hey I have something to tell you but I can't really say it with people around." he said feeling awkward again as they stood in the door of the Great Hall.

Harry turned to him and raised an eyebrow. "Talk about what?" he asked.

Pansy sat on one of the many window seats that littered the castle windows, pulling softly at Luna's hand so that she could sit too. "Yeah, I heard that it was recently, but how did that start?"

Blaise raised an eyebrow and looked at how Hermione handled Draco. It was a lot like how Pansy handled him. In a motherly way. "Well then, pray tell, why haven't you informed your precious Golden Boy about his wandering girlfriend. I would imagine he'd be the first person you'd tell."

Hermione frowned and continued her hair stroking. "I . . . I didn't want to hurt Harry. He's had so many things happen to him already, I couldn't possibly add this burden."

Luna sat down next to Pansy as she listened.

"About a couple of months." Neville said as Seamus wrapped his arm around him again. "People are just barely getting over it."

"I'll tell you later." Ron said as people were starting to come down stairs. "I don't think with people around would be a good idea."

Harry crossed his arm as he look at Ron. "Is it something I won't like?" he asks. "Or is it something about Hermione?"

Pansy nodded, wrapping her arms around Luna. "I suppose it might take longer for us, since I'm a Slytherin and she's a Ravenclaw. At least you two are from the same house."

"And you think keeping secrets from him would be better. Bloody hell, Granger! You're supposed to be the smart one!"

Hermione continued to frown, her eyes misting over slightly. She knew she was wrong in her decision, but she couldn't help but want to protect Harry. She stopped running her fingers through Draco's hair and twisted her hands in her lap.

"Mmn . . . don't stop, that felt nice, Granger," said Draco sleepily, his eyes fluttering in the dimness of the room. The sun was safely set behind the horizon and there were only a few candles lighting the room. "What time is it?"

Luna nodded at Pansy comment. "It's true. People were already staring at us. Its...kind of uncomfortable..." she said looking down.

"Yes...it's true." Neville said remembering the stares from when they started dating. "But you shouldn't care what people think. Just forget what people think."

"No, it has nothing to do with Hermione. And don't get any ideas about it between us." he said as they head to the table. "And...I think it is something you won't like."

Harry continues to eye him. "I already don't like it." he said as he took a seat next to him. "But I guess I have to wait then...."

Pansy sighed and looked out the window as the last of the light left. The torches on the wall were already magically lit and stars were starting to come out. "We can ponder over how much of a hell we'll have later. Right now I think we should head down to the Great Hall. Dinner will start soon."

Blaise looked down in surprise at the awoken Draco. He lay down and placed a hand on his forehead, making sure he wasn't running a fever or anything. "Dray, are you feeling okay?"

Draco nodded, swatting at Blaise's insistent hand. "I'm fine, Blaise. No need to mother-hen me. I've had worse than broken ribs before."

Hermione looked down at her watch and saw that it was dinnertime already. "We should get down to dinner. Draco, are you well enough to join us in the Great Hall?"

Luna nodded noticing how dark it got and got up. "Yes, your right." she said and smiled at Neville and Seamus. "Care to walk with us?" she asks.

Neville shrugged as if he wouldn't mind then turn to Seamus.


Author's Note: So if you guys paid attention to the password, 'Young Academics on Ice'. You should actually realize that it's the word yaoi. Lol me and my two best friends created this word since we don't like saying gay or yaoi out loud during school hour so we created this word! We always code this everywhere we go now and it always make us laugh…

Um, yeah well, I am just saying but I'm not playing Neville or Seamus… I feel odd playing those two for some reason. So how's curious of how Harry would react to the news he's going to get? And the True Love Kiss?? …lol yeah my friend created it and she thought it'll be perfect to what the plot would lead to. So I'll try and post the next chapter soon. Maybe….next week? On April?? We'll see….
