Day Four)
Merlin, I am going to kill Blaise Zabini for giving me that lovely piece of advice.
So, I went to Dumbledore to ask for advice on the Pansy thing, and, well, he was more than happy to help, actually. I think he misses back when he was like me- young, good-looking, intelligent... Well, working on the last one. Anyway, when he asked me what was going on, I said to him, "I have this one friend, and well, frankly, I've fallen in love with her. She's just... cool, you know? She's smart... sexy... has nice eyes... she's witty..." Ten minutes of me going on about Pansy later, I remembered how I was supposed to be telling Dumbledore about the actual problem. "Sorry... (She also has nice hair.) Anyway," I continued, "She's dating this one guy... Actually, it's Draco Malfoy. They-"
Dumbledore held up a hand for me to stop. "Theodore... Can I call you Theo?" he asked. I nodded. "Spectacular. Theo, I understand that guys like you don't want to- how do they say it these days?- come out of the closet? Yes... that's it... But, Theo, there are others you can talk to about it- like me. So don't keep all your emotions bottled up inside of you. You've just got to tell him- I mean 'her'-" He held up his fingers for quotation marks on her, reminding me of Pansy, "- how you feel!"
"Professor... Headmaster..." I started to say...
"No need to say anything else, Theo. Just go, go and be free as the wind," Dumbledore told me in a soothing voice.
"I'm not a homosexual, if that's what you're implying, sir," I said to him, but he just shushed me.
"Draco does have nice hair, Theo. I agree."
That evil blonde has even gotten to the Headmaster's head now. Honestly! It makes me wish that Dumbledore was dating Draco instead of Pansy. Despite the, er, wrong image that that puts into my head, I'd actually prefer it to this, if only I could have my beloved Pansy in my arms...
If only...
I'm sighing right now. And thinking of different methods of killing Blaise. What can I say? I'm a Slytherin, I multi-task.
-Theo.
