Because I love you

Chapter 4-Confessions

   Harry slowly made his way to his dorm, stumbling every so often, still in a daze over the happenings in the owlery. Once he was in his room he spun on his heel landing with a thud on top of his bed.

   "Where have you been?" Ron asked, snapping Harry back to reality.
"Oh, um, just went up to the owlery to visit Hedwig." Harry answered. Ron looked at him skeptically.
"It doesn't take a few hours to visit an owl mate. What were you really doing?"
"Well, I should probably start by telling you that I'm gay," Harry said. Ron merely blinked. "Go on, I kinda guessed you were gay after you kissed Cho, but that's besides the point." Ron explained. "Wait, why did you guess I was gay after I kissed Cho?" Harry asked confused. "That's easy, after you got back from the Room of Requirment and how you were describing the kiss, it just kinda made sense for you to be gay." the boy answered.
"Ok, well, back to your question from earlier,
I wanted to know why Draco kissed me during the match last week, so I sent him an owl asking him to meet me in the owlery earlier tonight. The Hedwig thing wasn't entirely a lie, I did talk to her a bit waiting to see if Draco was gonna show up, and sure enough, he did and I asked him why he kissed me and it's ended up being because he liked me and used Quidditch as an excuse to kiss me. And then I admitted that I like him back, and then we played twenty questions. Well, more like three and a half questions, cause we ended sno-" "Alright, alright I get it." Ron interuptted.

   "Also, I may have asked him to be my boyfriend." Harry added.
"wha-" Ron started to say, but froze. He quickly looked up, then looked back down.
"I'm a bit shocked that you're now dating Malfoy, but I'm happy for you mate," he said smiling. "Thanks Ron." Harry said. "and if he ever hurts you, I'll shove my foot so far up his ass he'll be coughing up shoelaces." Ron added seriously. Harry started to laugh so hard that he doubled over, falling off his bed. "Ok buddy." he managed to gasp in between laughs. Ron chuckled at his friend before bidding him goodnight and climbing into bed, finally falling asleep.

   Harry woke up the next morning in good spirits. He grabbed his glasses from his bedside table, putting them on and letting his eyes adjust back into focus. Since it was Saturday, he decided that he'd ask Ron to go to the pitch to practice some quidditch plays with him. Maybe he would ask Draco to come along with them as well. As for now, Harry decided he would dress in his quidditch robes, and wake up his ginger haired friend before heading to breakfast in the Great Hall.

   Harry made his way over to Ron's bed. He started to poke the sleeping boys shoulder. "Ron, hey Ron, wake up buddy." Harry said.
"What do you want Harry, it's Saturday, why are you waking me up this early?" Ron mumbled.
"I wanted to ask if you wanted to practice out in the pitch, therefore we would need to go down to breakfast." Harry answered.
"Yeah alright, I'll go practice with you. Merlin knows I need it."
"Brilliant, also, would it be ok if I asked Draco to practice with us?" Harry asked.
"I don't see why not, he is your boyfriend after all." Ron said, pulling on his own Quidditch robes. "Thanks Ron."
"No need to think me mate, now let's go down to breakfast, I'm starving."
"Arent you glad that i woke you up now?" Harry chuckled.

   Both boys entered the Great Hall to find Hermione there as well, her copy of "Hogwarts a History" propped up against a juice jug. They made their way up the table to sit next to her.
"Morning Mione, how are you?" Harry asked, pouring himself some pumpkin juice.
"Very good, thank you, but may I ask as to why you two are up so early?" she asked.
"Me Ron and maybe Draco are gonna practice some plays in the pitch. So we needed to eat breakfast early to have a good amount of practice time." Harry said.
"Wait, why is Malfoy going with you, and why did you use his actual name?" Hermione asked with one brow raised. "Uhh, Ron can explain that to you after we get back from practicing." Harry said.
"Boys." She mumbled in response, shaking her head. Both boys chuckled at their friend before finishing their meal.
