"Why were you kissing Viktor!" the twins shouted at Draco.
"I did not, he kissed me!" Draco yelled back.
"Why didn't you push him off?"
"I did!"
"You should have done it quicker" Harry mumbled.
"Oh don't you start"
P/)
Draco quickly pulled himself away from the Bulgarian; they looked at each other, apologetically.
"I'm...so. So...sorry" Viktor said.
"It's alright; it was just a bit of a shock" Draco told him, feeling guilty. "I have to go now"
"Yeah course" Viktor watched as the blond walked away.
Hey Oliver, how are you?
Why do the powers that be hate me?
I'm a good person, why do bad things happen to me?
Not only have I found myself being attracted to Malfoy, now I have to watch him kissing Viktor Krum!
Merlin, how I HATE Viktor Krum!
I want to hex him so much and I want his balls to drop off!
Draco's mine, he can't have him!
I mean Malfoy!
But you should see him now! He's so beautiful.
He's the essence of beautiful!
In the dictionary under the word beautiful there would be a picture of
Malfoy!
Do you remember Cedric Diggory, well he's been chatting me up.
I know I should take him up on it but I can't because how can I go out with him when I'm bloody horny for Malfoy 24/7!
How can I fucking fancy a Slytherin? It's unnatural!
Well I'll leave you now; tell me how you're getting on.
Love Harry
Oliver read the letter with wide eyes.
"Marcus!"
"What?" asked Marcus as he walked into the room.
"Read this letter" Marcus picked up the letter and read it. After reading it, he looked at Oliver and when their eyes met, they burst into laughter.
"Bloody Hell! Draco wasn't lying!"
"Harry's so fallen for the ferret!" The two laughed until their sides hurt.
"Those two need to get together and soon!"
"Can't believe we used to be like that!"
P/)
Hi Harry!
The powers that be don't hate you.
And yes you are a good person, you're just unlucky.
You're attracted to Draco are you?
Yeah like I didn't see that one coming (sarcastically).
He kissed Viktor Krum!
I HATE Viktor Krum seen as though Marcus used to fancy him!
Maybe you should hex his balls off,
Draco wouldn't want him then but that might seem a bit cruel.
Draco's yours, is he? Bless Harry, it's alright to admit it.
And yes I got the point he's beautiful!
Cedric Diggory is lush! Don't tell Marcus I said that, he hates him.
But seriously, Harry, only go out with Cedric if you feel it's the right thing to do.
And I didn't need to know that you're horny for Draco. I sort of gathered it.
Oh yeah, fancying a Slytherin is unnatural, is it?
Is that why the father to my child is a Slytherin then?
I'm fine, by the way, Marcus is being really supportive.
Love and hope for the best Oliver
Harry grumbled and watched as Cedric sat beside him.
"Nervous about tomorrow?" Cedric asked idly.
"Fighting a dragon has been known to worry me slightly" Harry replied.
"Yeah" they smiled at each other "Well good luck and thanks for warning me again."
"No problem"
Harry watched Cedric leave, he kicked himself for being so stupid, he could easily have him, but Harry was too obsessed with Draco to even want Cedric.
Harry groaned life would be so much simpler if he was normal.

It had been a month later; Harry was still smiling remembering hearing Draco root for him. But sadly, Harry knew he had to find a date for the Yule Ball, and he knew without a doubt that Viktor's going to ask Draco to the dance. It was a bit of obvious when he 'had' to ask if he could bring another boy as a date which he 'had' to have said when Harry was standing right next to him. He huffed loudly when he saw from the corner of his eye, Draco walking down the corridor, well it didn't really seem like walking, it was more like floating. Harry thought again about the cheering, he remembered hearing the worry in Draco's voice when he shouted 'look out'. Harry decided with himself he was going to ask Draco to the Yule Ball before Viktor Krum has a chance to. Harry made his way toward Draco, until Cedric appeared before him.
"Hi Harry!"
"Oh hi Cedric." Harry looked behind Cedric and saw that Draco had left.
"Have I caught you at a bad time?" 'Yes you bloody well have!'
"Course not!"
"I was wandering if you were any closer to solving the golden egg clue."
"No, sorry but I just remembered I have to go somewhere" Harry quickly made his get away in an attempt to find Draco, but he was nowhere to be seen.
P/)
The next day, Draco made it his quest to find Harry and ask him to the Yule Ball. He saw him a few times, but every time he went near Harry someone would either talk to him or Harry. At one point Draco did get close enough to speak to Harry until he was taken away by Viktor as he wanted to talk to him. It was not his day!
Harry tried again to find Draco to ask him to the ball, but each and every time, somebody got in the way. Harry was threatening to commit murder if this went on any longer.
P/)
"Potter!" Draco ran up to Harry.
"Yeah?"
"Would you..."
"Draco, a word" Draco was pulled away by Blaise.
P/)
"Malfoy I..." called to Draco as he walked by.
"Harry, how are you doing mate?"
"Seamus, I...wait where did he go?"
"Where did who go?"
P/)
"Ron, I have to go" Harry said as he saw Draco again walking by.
"No you have to tell me who you're taking to the ball. I was thinking maybe I should ask Hermione."
"Yeah that's great, Ron." Harry still saw Draco and was trying hard to get away from Ron without hurting his feeling.
"Really, so you think I should ask her?"
"Yes, please do!"
"Ok Harry I will! Thanks!" Ron left and when Harry looked to see if he could find Draco he was nowhere to be seen.
"Why me! What did I do to deserve this!" Harry cried.
P/)
"Malfoy."
"Potter."
"I really need to ask you something."
"I really need to ask you something too."
"Draco." Viktor walked towards the two boys.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Harry sighed.
"Draco I need to ask you something in private" Draco nodded sadly and followed his friend to a corner. Harry watched broken heartedly as he watched the conversation between Draco and Viktor. Viktor had said something, Draco had nodded and Viktor seemed very happy about that. Harry knew what they talked about as he walked away quickly, thinking his chances were ruined.
P/)
"Harry can I ask you something?"
"Sure Cedric. Why not?"
"Harry would you go to the Yule Ball with me?" Harry looked at the Hufflepuff in surprise.
"Seriously?"
"Well yes."
"Sure, that'll be great" Harry said with a smile, well if he can't be with Draco he might as well go with the next best thing.
P/)
"Harry." Draco called his name and Harry was stunned.
"You called me Harry."
"Yeah I did." They smiled at each other.
"Ok Draco. What's up?"
"Well I was wondering if you'd care to go to go to the ball with me," asked Draco with confidence.
"Excuse me?" Harry asked in shock. 'No, no, no! This can not be happening!'
"Would you like to go to the ball with me?" Draco's confidence went down faster than a ton of bricks, and it made Harry's heart bleed.
"Sorry but I'm already going with someone else" Harry answered quietly "I thought you were going with Viktor Krum."
"No" Draco shook his head and looked like Harry had ripped his heart out.
"I really am sorry. I mean I would have gone with you, but..."
"Someone else gave you a better offer" Draco suggested.
'No, no, no! That's not true at all' Harry's mind cried. "Sorry"
"Stop saying that!" Draco snapped and walked off leaving Harry alone and guilty.
