Neither Can Survive (Tomarry)

Chapter Six

I groan, feeling Tom's fingers run through my hair. It was about five in the morning on a Saturday, so I wasn't really worried about getting caught. Tom was reading a book as I was laying with my head in his lap. It's things like this, that make me forget everything negative in my life. The simple things...

I let out a surprised sound when he suddenly stops. 

"Wha-OH MY!" I hiss, feeling myself get tackled in my bed. I bite my tongue, hearing Tom giggling over me. 

"Can we try something...~" Tom purrs, putting  a hand up my shirt. My cheeks flush, and my mind immediately goes south. 

"Th-there's other people...in the room," I choke, eyes wide. 

"Please Harry...." He whines, jumping slightly.

"Fine, but only because you asked nicely," I wait for something, but it never comes. He gets behind me, his arms wrapping lightly around my body. He puts his head into the space between my shoulder and neck, entangling his legs with mine. 

He places small kisses on my skin, and suddenly I'm not in the dorm bed anymore. I feel as though I'm floating above the bed. I can clearly see me and Tom's bodies tangled with each others, and I can't seem to breath. 

I turn my head, looking at Tom's now sleeping face. He has a slight smile plastered on his lips.

He never smiles...I wish I could stop time and stay in that position forever, just me and him together in the early morning of a Saturday. 

My thoughts run wild, and I barely even notice that I fell asleep. My dreams were full of night calm, and I didn't even have a nightmare. 

Three hours later, I expect me and Tom to still be together, but instead I find Ron, Dean, and Seamus looking at me with wide eyes. 

"Guys! What the hell?!" 

"Had a nice dream?" Dean says. Seamus snickers, following his friend out of the room. I cover my upper half up, glaring at Ron. 

"Why'd you open the curtains?" 

"Because you weren't up yet, and we usually walk down to breakfast together and-" He kept going on and on as I was getting ready. And even still when we were walking down to the table. "It's only a matter of time till your secret lover is found out,"

At this, I almost spit out my pumpkin juice out. "Secret lover? What are you on about?" 

"Oh, come on, mate," He pats me on the back. "I heard you talking with someone behind those curtains,"

Seamus and Dean wiggle there eyebrows from across the table as I hide my face in my hands. "Who's the lucky girl?" Seamus pry's.

"Whoever said it was a girl?" I shoot back, looking down at my plate.

"What?!" Dean whispers, leaning completely over the table. "You fancy blokes?" 

"Is it a Gryffindor?" 

I shake my head, 'no'.

"Hufflepuff?"

Again, I shake my head.

"Ravenclaw?" 

"Nope,"

"A...a muggle you met over the summer?" Ron stammers, not wanting it to be the last house.

I look at him like the stupid imp he is before saying, "How would I even get a muggle into the school? They can't even see it,"

"...Slytherin?" 

"Bingo, now excuse me," I get up from the table, noticing that Draco had also gotten up. I decided to follow him- I needed to ask him a very big favor. "Draco," I hiss, slamming him into a corner. 

"Harry?" The wind is knocked out of him, a confused look on his face, seeing that we promised to not speak to each other at school. Unless it's absolutely necessary. "Is it about Dumbledore? Did he find out, did-"

"No, I think I figured something out for that however," I wince, loosening my grip on the blondes shirt. 

"So...what did you need?"

I sigh, putting my face in my hands. "I need you to pose as my....uh...boyfriend?" The statement comes more as a question.

"I'm flattered, but everyone knows I'm dating Astoria Greengrass," 

Damn it, I thought. I forgot, they've been together since the end of last year. To be honest, they're really good for each other. Draco is much more...enjoyable to others when she's around. Keeps the dragon in, as I like to joke around with him. 

"I do know who would be a great boyfriend for you," He giggles, looking behind me. 

I hesitate. "Who?"

"Me," Blaise says simply.

"Blaise Zabini?" I had no idea he liked guys. Actually, now that I think about it...

"Yeah, the ladies man fancy's blokes," Draco chuckles, which makes me smack him in the back of his head. We beginning speaking, all three of us, about how we plan to tell the entire school about me and Blaise. After that, however, we just catch up about classes and different rumors we've heard. 

After a while, Pansy comes to the corner to tell us that everyone is starting to leave the Great Hall, so that was my cue to leave. 

"See you later, babe!" Blaise winks, and I feel my face flush from embarrassment. Please tell me I didn't make a mistake. 

I jog up to the bushy haired girl, and bright red haired boy in the sea of students. I join in on there stupid, meaningless conversation. They have no idea what's coming...the thought makes me smile.

Once we open the common room door, let's just say everyone was surprised to see what was in front of us...
