Try It Out

It was dinner time and the great hall was buzzing with chatter but Harry was pushing his food around his plate uninterested, there was a gnawing feeling in his stomach that was a reminder of how nerve wracking it would be to talk to Dean about...things. Harry was sitting by himself, like usual, at the end of the Slytherin table and he normally didn't have any company because well they didn't seem to like him. Then Malfoy strutted in through the big oak doors and made eye contact with him, making his heart suddenly pound, and then to his horror and surprise sat down beside him.
"Potter" he greeted while reaching for some pie.
Harry just swirled some mashed potatoes around his plate in response. "Not one for talking? You know Potter people generally eat their food not just play with it"
Harry rolled his eyes and then took a sip of pumpkin juice to somehow they and calm his stomach of butterflies.
"Are you sick?" Malfoy asked taking Harry by surprise.
"What?"
"Are you sick because you aren't eating" Malfoy repeated.
"No I'm.. Fine? Why do you care Malfoy"
"Don't flatter yourself Potter, It's just you didn't eat much this morning either"
"What are you spying on me now? I didn't think you'd sink so low" Harry responded while watching Dean, he was going to leave when Dean left to hopefully get some answers.
"Who are you looking at Potter? Your boyfriend?"
Harry spluttered and then elbowed Malfoy hard in the ribs "no that's...we're friends..."
"Very coherent Potter, I was just wondering anyways I've heard rumours he's dating a bloke"
"Why do you care?"
"Why so many questions?"
Harry groaned and placed his head in his hands, this was going to be a long evening. But then Dean got up from his seat and started walking put of the great hall. It was now or never. Harry shot up from his seat and followed him, happy to get away from Malfoy.

"Dean!" He called out to which Dean spun around and then gave a smile.
"What's up?"
"Umm...Can I talk to you"
"Sure ...what about?"
"In private?" Harry asked while people walked by, like hell he would let anyone know his crisis.
"Oh okay"
Dean lead them to a deserted classroom, unsure of what to expect.

"So what's the matter?"
"Um so you're into guys right?" When Dean nodded Harry continued "so I guess I want to know how you knew?"
"Oh, well I sort of always felt this way but I always thought what I had felt was normal until well I came to Hogwarts and saw the most beautiful man I had ever seen. I then realised soon after that Girls didn't attract me and then I experimented with a certain someone and viola I'm gay." He finished with a grin and then cocked his head to one side "why the sudden interest?"
Harry chocked on air and felt his face heat up.
"Oh I see..." He gave a knowing look "who is it?"
Harry sighed deeply and then ran his fingers through his hair. "That's the thing It's well...someone I shouldn't?" Harry sat down in defeat.
"I won't tell anyone I promise" Dean said sitting down beside him with a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Itsdracomalfoy" Harry whispered after some silence.
"Draco Malfoy?"
Harry just nodded and stared at his shoes in despair. There was silence for a bit and then Harry couldn't help but to tell him exactly what had happened between them.
"Wow, well I guess you should try things out to see if he's really into you"
"What do you mean try things? I'm not going to.." Harry trialed off making a face, no way he'd do that with Malfoy. Gross.
"No. I didn't mean that but if you want to I won't judge. I mean try flirting a bit, try kissing him again anything really to see if he likes you"
Harry blanched, never in his life has someone given him advice to flirt with Malfoy, but I suppose it's better than talking about feeling and stuff.
"Thanks Dean, umm you know I would appreciate if no one knew about this..crisis"
"I won't tell a soul, look Harry if you ever need to talk or anything I'll be here and be careful, don't let Malfoy too far into your head cause it could be dangerous" Voldemort is probably already in my head why not Malfoy as well?
