Post-War • Drarry ✔️

Chapter 6

My friend thought it was pronounced Wesley the whole time she was reading the hp books but when she watched the movies she found out it was Weasley. It's sort of like me, I pronounce patonus "Pay-Tro-Nus" (short o sound) I'll probably switch the two styles up a bit. Still the same style as last chapter.

The muggle beaches weren't all that bad, infact it was calming, the waves went in and out in patterns and the soft breeze with the sounds of birds in the distance. Harry never really liked the beach, mainly it was because he was an introvert, but after the war he went to the beach more often and was amazed by its beauty with calmness; Beaches didn't have wars like most things.

Harry looked down at his feet as he waited for his best friend Hermione Granger, hopefully, just hopefully she would be as calm as the waves once he told her all the troubles he's been having. The salty smell drifted through Harry's nose, as he looked back into the water, still as calm as before.

"Sorry, I was with Ginny, we were catching up, it's been a while you know?" he heard Hermione say, she sat down next to hin and a sudden pain went through his stomach: guilt. Would Hermione tell Ginny? Surely she wouldn't, but there was always a possibility.

"I need to talk to you, about Ginny, actually" Harry looked at one of his best friends and saw she was waiting for him to go on, he was all of a sudden nervous, the waves weren't so calm anymore and all harry could hear was the thumping on his chest. "You see, I have a crush on... Someone else" he blurted out.

"You... You what? I couldn't hear you, you were talking too fast" she told me and Harry took a deep breath, looking down at his shoes once more.

"I have a crush, on somebody else, Draco Malfoy." He finally said and closed his eyes waiting for the yelling or even a slap, but nothing, just the sound of waves, the sound of birds, the sound of silence. "Please say something"

"Does Ginny know?" she asked with some sort of bluntness in her voice, harry didn't know if she was mad, angry, confused or something else.

"No, nobody knows and I'd like it to stay that way, please Hermione" Harry pleaded and his best friend looked at him with a mixture of anger, disgust and sympathy. He suddenly regretted telling her, she is going to tell Ginny, your marriage is over.

"Harry, You expect me not to tell her? Ron, her brother, is my husband and Ginny is my best friend!" She said fiddling with her sleeves, which was what she did when she was nervous or didn't know what to do about something, this was one of those times where she had every reason to worry. After what seemed like years of silence she spoke "I won't tell Ginny, you have two months to tell her, or I will"

"Thank you so much!" Harry grinned and pulled Hermione into a hug, "One more thing, about Draco, he's married"

"Harry, you've gotten yourself into a real struggle here, first you have a crush on Malfoy out of everyone and second of all he's married, if he likes you he would probably flirt carelessly, look at you weirdly. Loyal husbands don't flirt with other... Husbands" she told harry empathizing on the loyal.

"I'm so confused about myself 'Mione, I didn't think I'd turn out to be a cheating, unloyal, homosexual" Harry tells her truthfully, She put a hand on his shoulder, they both stared at the ocean for moments longer wishing they were as calm as the waves.

"I don't support this, but I'm not going to tell Ginny or Ron, I have to go now, to work. Goodluck, owl me if you need anything" She stood up and waves to him before leaving the beach, Harry longed to stay at the beach for longer but decided he must go back to Hogwarts to rest.

"Harry!" Draco called and the raven haired boy turned around to see his crush calling his name, he stopped to wait for the blonde boy, when Draco caught up to him Harry remembered him kissing someone else and pain shot through him once again.

"Hello Draco" Harry said wishing he could be back at the beach where he didn't have to worry about talking to his crush who HAD A WIFE. "I'm sorry I was busy doing... Stuff"

"Not to worry, I've been busy too. So I was thinking, maybe, if you want to, we could go out on a date?" he asked and Harry stopped in his tracks, the boy who he had a crush on was asking him on a date, a real date. He suddenly forgot about their wives and their problems and nodded.

"I'd love to go on a date with you Draco" he told him and Draco squealed in delight telling Harry he'd see him on saturday night not even asking if he was free, Harry didn't care, he finally was going on a date with Draco Malfoy.

"Why do you look so happy?" Neville suddenly spoke from behind him, Harry turned around getting a real fright from his friend who just suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "A date? Aren't you married?"

"It's not a date" Harry told Neville quickly, a little too quickly.

"But I heard every word, he said a date, definitely a date" He told Harry looking at him suspiciously.

"Draco and I call them "Friend dates" or just dates, we aren't really going on a date Neville, I would never cheat on my wife" Harry reassured him, he nodded but he could still tell he was suspicious of their date, harry ought to tell draco so they could be careful of their surroundings.

Harry walked off into the great hall, Draco looked up and winked at him and he was happy, a date with his crush, what else could harry want?
