Chapter 9 Talk
Harry sort of missed Ron but the good thing was that he didn't have to hear him snoring at night, complaining about life in general and how he hated Draco Malfoy. It's cute that Hermione and Draco walk around the school hand in hand, and it was even more shocking when Draco called him by his first name. Every time that happened Harry had to pinch himself to see if he was in a dream.
Draco walked past Harry with a nervous expression on his face.
Something was up.
And not in a good way.
"Hey, Draco, what's wrong?"
"Don't worry about it, it's stupid" Draco grumbled.
"Okay, if you say so I'll just tell Hermione that you're hiding something".
"I'm just worried about Hermione, that's all I swear" Draco leant against the wall where Harry was.
"So am I, now that Ron's gone, she's a lot happier. But something is fishy" Draco sighed.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know, maybe there's a secret boyfriend I don't know about."
"No way, I know Hermione and trust me she's not a cheater. I think it's about last year".
"You mean the abortion thing?"
Harry nodded his head " I think she's worried about getting pregnant again, or scared of being loved" he added, digging into his pocket Draco got out his packet of cigarettes and his lighter. He lit a cigarette and breathed in deep and puffed out a ring of smoke "Harry, what happens if I fuck this up?" he bit his lip and passed the cigarette to Harry.
Harry coughed and patted him on the back "you won't fuck it up, Hermione loves you and you love her. Also, it depends on how you" fuck it up" obviously Harry air quoted with his fingers.
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean?"
"I don't know."
"Whatever it is that you're worried about will affect you both of you and your love for each other, tell her how you feel, or shit is about to go down" he took one last puff and handed it back to Draco, rubbing his chin Draco sighed took one last drag and stubbed it out with his shoe, sliding down the wall he thought about what Harry said.
"She's right about you" He smiled at Harry.
"About what?'
"You giving the best advice"
"Really? she said that about me?" Harry beamed.
"And other things I'd rather not repeat" Draco added.
Standing up Draco caught up to Harry and ruffled his hair, Harry hated it when Draco did that, but his hair was already messy as it is. He could try to get used of it for now, walking to class they talked about relationship issues and how to fix them when you're falling apart.
"Thanks for the talk, Harry, I'm really thankful of it" Draco said, giving Harry a hug.
"You're welcome, that's what I'm here for."
Draco took Harry's advice and ran to see Hermione to tell her all the messed-up shit that he's feeling, maybe she would open up more or hide away.
There must be a way to cheer her up.
"DRACO!" Harry yelled.
"YES!" Draco stopped in his tracks to listen to one last piece of advice from Harry.
"Don't forget to listen and not judge, be careful with her heart".
"Wil do" and with those last final words of advice Draco ran off to see his girlfriend.
