Part 1 was so long ago, I doubt anyone remembers it lol

...

It's been two weeks since Draco Malfoy started dating Harry's doppelgänger and he was sick of it.

Once Harry realized how jealous he was of Jacob Gardner, it was a hard fact to forget. Every time he passed Jacob in the halls, he had the odd urge to jinx him. Whenever Jacob answered a question in class, Harry hoped he'd get it wrong and make a fool of himself. And when Harry saw Jacob holding Draco's hand between classes, he prayed to Merlin that he'd let go.

He could hardly focus. Harry's never really had a crush on someone like this before. And he's certainly never been this envious.

I need a break, Harry decided. A trip to the astronomy tower sounds nice.

So after all his classes were done, Harry skipped dinner to climb up the tower. But it turns out, he wasn't the only one hanging up there.

As soon as he heard voices, Harry ducked behind a corner, staying out of sight.

"I honestly can't believe you!"

Jacob Gardner. Of course. Because I simply cannot have a moment of peace, Harry thought.

"I'm sorry, Jacob. I didn't mean to!"

Harry flinched at the sound of Draco's voice. Were they fighting? Why?

Harry didn't want any part in this. He might dislike Jacob, but he was still going to respect his privacy. He slowly began descending back down the stair. The only thing that stopped him was what Gardner said next.

"I was literally making out with you, Draco, and all you could think about was bloody Potter."

Harry could see Draco wince.

"I was not thinking about Potter, I was thinking about you!"

"Then why did you call me that? You looked me dead in the bloody eyes and called me Harry! You think I don't know why you asked me out? I look just like him, Draco, I know I do."

Harry stood on the steps, too stunned to move. His friends were right. There was a reason Draco's boyfriends have all looked somewhat like him. Because Draco wanted him.

Draco sighed. "Okay. So maybe you and Potter do share some resemblance. That doesn't mean I don't care about you!"

Jacob's previous scowled melted away into a weary smile. "I know you do. But not as much as you care about Harry. I think you should be with him, not me."

Draco simply nodded, not saying a word. Harry could hear Jacob mumble a small 'bye' before his footsteps grew quieter ad quieter.

Harry too was about to sneak of, but once again, he wasn't that lucky.

"I know you're there, Potter."

Harry slowly came around the corner, cursing himself waiting their so long. Draco was leaning on the railing, looking at the sky. After a moment of hesitation, Harry joined him.

"Heard all that, didn't you?"

Harry nodded. "I'm uh, sorry. About your breakup."

Draco shrugged. "Don't be. Jacob was right. It was wrong of me to use all these look-a-likes as a way of getting over you."

Getting over you

Harry's heart sank.

"I wish I knew you used to like me." Harry said with a dry laugh. "I would've asked you out sooner."

Draco looked at him, eyebrow raised. "I still like you, Harry. You know that, right?"

And just like that, Harry's heart rose back up, going a million miles per minute.

"Y-You do?"

Draco leaned over, pressing a chaste kiss on his lips. Harry was so shocked he almost forgot to kiss him back. Almost.

"You're lucky you're cute." Draco mumbled before pulling Harry in for another kiss. "So, very, lucky."
