A Secret Romance- A Drarry Fanfic

Chapter 1

Harry's POV

I had just been with him and I needed him again . . . This is ridiculous, and almost. . . funny. I've been dating Ginny but she has gone out almost every night from what Hermione tells me, each time with a guy, sometimes from other houses but usually ones from Gryffindor. I have caught her cheating before. . . so many times that I've stopped bothering to count them. . . so why am I still with her? It bewildered me. She's hurt me so many times before so, why? Why do I keep forgiving that. . . that whore?

I decided to drop the subject eventually. . . it was late, and anyway thinking about it won't do any good, right?

. . . Right.

I wake up to people screaming bloody murder down in the common room. I sat up, rubbing my eyes. I found that Ron wasn't in bed and instead looking out the window--the sun hasn't even come up yet. Ron is never up this early. . . but I shrugged it off, deciding he was woken up, too, by all the ruckus and walked to the common room and saw that everyone is shouting because Neville just proposed but I can't see to who. Everyone is outraged, screaming saying that this is wrong, that this is absolutely and utterly revolting. Ron, who has come back from staring out the window and is, for some reason, the most furious out of everyone there. Hermione doesn't look too happy at all either, in fact she looks ready to murder someone.

Then some kid noticed me and they started to whisper something around the room, which made everyone get out of my way, giving me sympathetic and pitiful looks as I walked past them. Once I got through everyone I saw the most staggering thing, . . . Neville was proposing to. . . Ginny! Right at the moment I saw her, she said yes and threw her arms around Neville. Suddenly she noticed me and a look of absolute alarm and horror swept her face, draining her of all color and her eyes widened a bit as well. I shrieked at Ginny and Neville, tears streaming down my cheeks, at first nonsense due to the utter shock I was going through, but eventually it became full blown insults and angrily given questions, to which no answers were given, but instead they just stood there, looking down at their feet or at a wall, or ANYWHERE except at me.

. I don't even know why I am so hurt. She's been nothing but a stupid, cheating, fucking whore, I should have expected this from this bitch.

"We are OVER don't ever talk to me AGAIN." I muttered angrily, barely able to form words, much less say anything that loud. I finally stormed out the common room, shaking profusely.

. . . I ended up cutting myself in the farthest boy's bathroom from the Gryffindor common room that my legs could carry me to.

The next days were pretty unpleasant and cringeworthy. Some people gave me sorrowful glances and tried to comfort me when I walked by, others snickered and made fun of me. I couldn't escape the constant looks and chatter that came with just walking into a room.

Ginny had come up to me every chance she got, bothering the hell out of me. On about the thousandth time I told her to just leave me alone and that I was already seeing someone else. She was, of course, shocked but who wouldn't have been? After a long while of uncomfortable silence she finally spoke up.

"H-How l-long?" She stuttered, referring to how long I had been seeing the other person.

"Since I saw you kissing Seamus by the lake a few days ago". I answered in a very cool and distant tone, glaring at her, secretly fuming as I was reliving the memory of finding the two together.

She paused for a few moments, looking like she was trying to remember something.

"THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO, NOT A 'FEW DAYS'! I DON'T BLOODY BELIEVE YOU!" She shrieked, startling me at the sudden raise of voice.

"I think I would remember how long ago it was." I said, my voice showing how inhospitable I was towards her.

She turned her back and I thought she was going to leave but instead she said something, in the most life-menacing voice she could muster she spat:

"Who is . . .she? Who is the fucking whore you've been sleeping with, Harry Potter?!?!?"

"It's not a she, it's a he". I said, my voice aloof as my eyes narrowed. I made sure to stare her right in the eye.
