REMERGED RIVERS

Delectable,Aren't They?

After that short moment in the bathroom,both of them went to their respective classes,in which it just so happened they were taking charms. When they entered the class,they took their seats and were ready just before Professor McGonagall enters and starts teaching. She starts talking and Harry zones out. His mind is still on the short confrontation he just had with Draco. He looked so scared and vulnerable,like a little baby. He calmed down immediately Harry hugged him,and he seemed flustered afterwards.

Now that was what shook Harry the most.Maybe Draco also has these same feelings for me? Does he also find me attractive? Does he even like men to begin with? Those were the questions roaming about in Harry's mind but the prominent one was: Does Draco like me?

Classes whizzed past and they managed to go about their day without any more interruptions. Harry found Draco just as he was about to enter their common room.

"Hey Draco. Do you think we should go in together?You know,just to prevent what happened the other day of course."Harry asks nervously.

"Sure why not?" Draco replies with a grin.

As soon as they entered the common room,the stares they got almost made them overhaul their plans.

"What?What is it?"Harry asks. "Nothing of course!" Hermione pipes up,trying to feign innocence,like she wasn't just staring. He wanted to say just as much when Ron spoke up.

"Sorry mate but it's just extremely weird to see you walking hand in hand with Malfoy."

Harry hadn't even realised he was holding Draco's hand and from the looks of it,Draco didn't as well. His pale cheeks had a faint tinge of pink on them that spread all the way to his ears.
"They look delectable together,don't they Lav?"Parvati says from somewhere in the room and Draco's flush goes all the way to his neck.

He clears his throat and says just above a whisper,"I'll be in our room."
"Okay," Harry replies.

Once he left,Dean and Seamus all but jumped at him. "So you're dating now??" Dean asks from where he's standing,his tall frame towering over Harry.

Harry almost fainted at that statement. "No-no-no! We've just started to be acquaintances. It's not anything that deep!" Harry stutters.

"Don't worry mate. No need to hide your feelings. Trust,it can be seen by him. I speak from experience,"Dean says. To add salt to Harry's injury, Seamus confirms this.
"'Tis true mate,"he says with a devious smile on his face. "Even if I'm not very fond of the guy I know those type of feelings when I see them."

Harry leaves the common room where Dean and Seamus were chuckling and goes to his room. His emotions are a mess and his mind is in a haze right now.

"Brilliant." He mutters to himself.

"Just brilliant."
