7 Minutes of Sadness

14- Monday

--Gryffindoor Common Room, Monday Morning--

*Third Person*

Hermione and Harry are sitting on the couch.

Hermione: Are you sure your okay to go to class today?

Harry: Yeah, I'm fine Mione.

Hermione: You sure?

Harry: Yes. Hermione.

Hermione: Sorry, I just... I'm worried, you know..

Harry: I know.. But I promise you I'm okay.

Hermione: Okay.. Well come on, we don't want to be late.

-time skip-

--Potions Classroom--

Harry enters the class late. Everyone turns around and stares at him. He swiftly sat at the only open seat, next to Draco.

Snape: And why are you late, Mr.Potter?

Harry: Sorry, I uh, I was in the library..

Snape: Hmm..

-mini time skip-

Harry was sitting next to Draco, on the verge of crying.. Draco kept looking at him.

*Draco's Pov*

I could tell there was something wrong with him.. He looked like he was about to burst into tears.. It was the same look he had in the closet...

...

...Ugh...

Draco: Potter.

Harry: Huh? Uh, yeah?

Draco: Are you okay?

Harry: Yup! Perfectly fine!

I could see tears starting to form in his eyes...

Ugh! Why do I even care.

Draco: ...Potter... Tell me what's wrong.... Please..?

*Harry's Pov*

Please...?

He... Never said that before..

I... Shit... I couldn't just- Cry here...

Why now? Why did he have to do this now..?

Fuck.. Fuck fuck FUCK!

Harry: Not now Malfoy!

...

Well, shit..

He didn't talk to me the rest of the time..

I... I guess it's for the best though..

*Draco's Pov*

Wow... I didn't expect that from him.. I was just trying to.... Help.....

...

Well.. We are in the middle of class.
I guess he wouldnt want to talk here.
So, yes. Not now, Draco. Later.
Hopefully...

UGH. Why do I even care.. Maybe... I should think about this some more..

--Later, Great hall--

I was sitting in my usual seat in the great hall. I was watching the door, waiting for Potter.
I... Ugh as much as I hated to admit it, I needed to talk to him.

I waited a while but he eventually came in with Granger and Weasley.

I wasnt sure if i should talk to him right now, or after dinner...

But I..

I got up and walked over to him.

Draco: Hey, Potter

Ron: Ugh. What is Malfoy.

Draco: I just need to talk to Potter.

Hermione: Why?

Draco: I just.. Need to. Okay?

Hermione: Was it about what Pansy saw?

Draco: Hm? What did she see?

Hermione: Oh, she didn't tell you..?

Draco: No?

Ron: What are you two talking about?

Hermione: Its nothing. Harry, are you okay to talk to him?

Harry: Yeah..

Hermione: Okay. Ron, lets go.

Ron: Hey! Wait!

Granger pulled Weasley away, leaving me and Potter there.

Draco: So, uh.. lets go somewhere more private.

Harry: Okay..
