Love Triangle Flipped

Chapter 8

The day of the Yule Ball.

HARRY POV

I woke up late but who cares? It was saturday anyways. I heard shuffling. I sat up rubbing my eyes as usual.

Malfoy seemed to be looking for something. He threw his clothes out of his drawer onto the ground and then he looked under his bed. His hair was messy as he did. He looked exhausted. "Malfoy?" I called. He finally turned to face me. "What, Potter?!" He snapped annoyed and angrily.

I stared at him confused. "What.. are you doing?" I asked curiously. What could be so important that he's destroying his own side of the room. "I'm trying to find something.."

"Like?"

"My cologne!" He snapped.

I rolled my eyes. Seriously this whole mess over a cologne? "Seriously? Over a cologne?" I said chuckling. He only glared at me. He was very angry. "Fine, I'll help you" I said smiling he only nodded. "Did you check under my bed?" I asked.

He only stared at me. "No why would I check under your bed? Are you saying you stole it?!" He said angrily. "What? No!!" I said shocked. Why would he accuse me of stealing his cologne? I mean it smells fantastic but I wouldn't steal it.

"Don't you have like.. 50?" I said sarcastically. He rolled his eyes annoyed. "This one is different! Astoria likes this cologne so I need to wear it!!" He snapped his hands turning into fists. "Because of Astoria? That's ridiculous" I said chuckling. He glared dangerously into my eyes. "Okay.." I said after.

I checked under my bed. And guess what I saw? The cologne I reached down to grab it. "Let me guess this one?" I asked showing it. His eyes lit up like fireworks and he grabbed it out of my hand. "Yes! How the hell was it under your bed?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "Malfoy. You were throwing your stuff around, no shit it was gonna be in a place you wouldn't expect" I said smirking but a half smile as I crossed my arms.

"Fuck.. fine! Your right" He said annoyed but smirking slightly. He then flicked two fingers on my forehead causing me to yelp. "Malfoy!" I snapped as I rub my forehead he laughed. A genuine laugh. It made blush and how did I know? I felt my face burning as always.

"Well I better get going" He said putting the cologne on then leaving the dorm.

I sat on my bed still with my pajamas on. Today was the Yule Ball! I was happy and mad. Why?

I was excited to see Malfoy in his suit or outfit or whatever he was taking to the Yule Ball, and why was I mad? It's obvious! He was taking Astoria, and not me. I was having to go with Ginny. I sighed upset and annoyed.

But now as I think of it.. He seems so in love with Astoria I don't think i'll even have a chance. Actually I won't even have a second to ask because he'll be so in love with Astoria that he'll just reject me the first second I speak.

I finally got up once I saw Hermione's owl hit my window. No like it seriously hit my window. I got up to grab the note as I scratched my back and I opened the letter to read it.

Harry,

Harry! You better be awake! Now get up and change and meet us in the great hall

- Hermione

I rolled my eyes as I closed the note throwing it away. I finally got changed and walked to the Great Hall.

"Hi Harry" Ginny told me kissing my cheek and sat down at the table. I sat next to her. "Hey" I said with a small smile. "Anyways.." Said moving her head awkwardly. "Once the clock hits three is when we start to get ready for the Yule Ball!" Hermione said then taking a peace of her pancake putting it into her mouth as she chewed softly. "And why at 3? It starts at 6?" Ron asked.
