Scared, Potter? •DRARRY•

Chapter 12

I had crept over to my bed right as Harry fell asleep. Just a couple seconds after he uttered those three words. I hadn't had the chance to answer before I could hear his light snores, looking over at him his pink lips slightly ajar and lashes resting lightly on his cheeks.
That's why I'm lying in my own bed, staring up at the purple fabric that coated the ceiling. A new warm feeling settled in my heart, as well as a confused one in my head.

He loves me.
Harry Potter loves me.

As i repeated the words in my head a new wave of excitement washed over me and a wide grin spread over my face. I almost felt the urge to laugh, just laugh straight out. Showing everyone just how much happiness that took place in my body at the time.
Happiness, that's something I haven't had a lot of in the past years. But somehow Harry Potter of all people had made it happen. As that though entered my brain, if possible my grin widened even more. And before I could contain myself I had jumped out of the bed, taking the familiar route over to Harry's bed.
Carefully I sneaked past the bed curtains before I jumped on Harry, landing chest to chest with a small thump. Harry woke up with a startled grunt, trying to push me off in panic.
But I held on, snaking my arms around his waist and snuggling my face in the crook of his neck.

"Harry, Harry stop it's just me" I whispered in his ear quietly.

I could visibly see him relax and felt him smile against the side of my head. He put his arms around my back and flipped us, now both laying on the side. Face just inches apart.

"What are you doing?" He asked, lightly stoking my cheek as he smiled.

"I... uh" I couldn't get the words out, so instead I just hugged him tighter. I pushed my face against his chest and closed my eyes. Breathing in the calming scent of him.

Even though I knew I loved Harry, it just didn't feel like the right time to say it.

...

"Come on Harry let's go mate" Ron said as he pulled open the curtains surrounding the bed.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THIS?!" A pair of rough hands grabbed Draco by the collar of his shirt and pulled him off me in just a couple seconds of time.

"What the fuck Weasley! Let go of me!" Draco yelled back at Ron as he started fighting against him.

"RON STOP!" I yelled in panic as the red haired boy took a swing towards Draco's face.

A sickening crunch rang out in the small dormitory, followed close by a scream from Draco. I felt nauseous as I looked over at the pair, Ron with blood on his fists and Draco in a heap on the floor.

The door flew up as a panicked Hermione stormed in. "RONALD WEASLEY!" She screamed loudly, marching over to the boy and grabbing him by the ear. Ron whimpered at her touch and immediately deflated.

Hermione pushed her boyfriend back before kneeling besides the Slytherin on the floor.
"Draco, look at me. Are you okay?"

I was at first shocked by how Hermione acted towards Draco, but I quickly came to my senses and remembered that she helped anyone who's in need of it. Unlike me who was just sitting on my bed right now, just looking whilst I let the scene play before me. As this thought passed my mind I quickly scrambled to my feet and stood besides Draco. My stomach lurched when I saw the deep-red blood coloring his pearly white skin. I bent down beside them both and carefully wrapped my arms around Draco and pulling him close.

"Draco I'm sorry but this is probably going to hurt a bit." Hermione said before whispering a short incantation and her wand let out a small hiss.

A small crackle emitted from the blondes nose as I felt his fists clench the back of my shirt.
His nose now looked less crooked but the drying blood still coated his face, making it look horrifying.

"What the hell is going on?!" For the first time in long, Ron said something.

"What happened was that you broke Draco's nose with no particular reason!" Hermione fired back.

"With no particular reason?! Hermione, Harry was being attacked! I found the two of them in Harry's bed, an there is no other reason why Malfoy would otherwise be th...oh" Something seemed to click in Ron's head as he uttered something that sounded like a cat getting strangled.

The door opened once again, this time it was Seamus who entered.

"Hello lads, what are you up to?" His eyes scanned over us all. From a hesitating Hermione, Draco's bloody nose and a close-to-puking Ron.
"Ohh no wait, let me guess. Ron just found out about Harry and Draco fucking?" He asked lightly.

And that seamed to do it for Ron as he quickly hunched over the closest bin.

"Wow seriously Ron?" Hermione asked, clearly disgusted.

"Wait Seamus how did you guess?" I asked towards the short boy.

"It just looks a lot like when my best pal back home found out I was gay, although then it was instead a broken arm." He answered, a small frown splayed out on his lips.

At that Draco let out a small laugh and leaned against me, but before he could dive away I captured his face in my hands. Our eyes locked together and I found myself once again, lost in those amazingly gray orbs. His eyes quickly flickered down onto my lips before I sealed the distance between us. It was just quick and simple, but it was all I needed to get that warm feeling spreading in my chest once again. The one I always got when I kissed Malfoy.
Ever since the first time our lips touched.

But the moment was soon to be ruined as Ron let out another gut wrenching sound. A small snicker escaped Hermione's lips, and before anyone could react we were all clutching our stomachs from laughter. Even though Ron found out in the worst way possible, it still couldn't had gone much better.
