chapter 5

He froze. Draco fucking froze. Granger's wand light was pointed right into his eyes, which wasn't very fun on Draco's end.

"If you must know Granger, I saw what happened in the Great Hall," Harry's blushed red when Draco stated this, "well, everyone did, but I worried about Potter so I walk out and heard muffled sobs so I went for a little......adventure." Draco finished with a smirk.

"It'd be a miracle if you start to care for Harry,"

"Even miracles take a little time." Potter snorted at yet another Disney reference, both girls looked over to him at the sudden joyful noise that came out of the previously sobbing boy. Even Draco was shocked by the reaction he got from Potter, the boy-who-lived just avoided everyone's gaze and found his shoes to be very interesting.

The She-Weasel and the Granger just look back at each other, unsure in what to do with situation.

"Right, so, seeing everyone here is a-ok I geuss I'll say good bye now, so good bye, and yeah bye." Draco quickly spat this out then climbed out of the little cave of awkwardness.

Once he had gotten out, he began to speed walk towards the black lake, his back stiff, arms pushed right against his body and his hands were clenching and unclening by his side's. Draco had gotten about half way down to the lake when he heard someone calling his name.

"Hey Draco wait up, Draco!"

Draco turned but instead of being hit with a wave of perfume he was expecting, he got hit with a heavy mass and the scent of broom wax, on instinct his arm grabbed onto another pair of arms and held steady to stop both of them from falling.

"Bloody hell Potter, are you trying to push me into the black lake?"

Potter decided that this would be a good time to look sheepish,

"Sorry, I didn't actually expect you to stop,"

"Thanks Potter, really makes me feel good knowing you think so little of me," venom was present in Draco's voice.

Potter fumbled with his words trying to apologise to Draco, "what? No that's not, ah, I s
didn't mean..... I'm Sorry,"

"Whatever," Draco shoved his hands deep into his jean pockets, which was hard since they were skinny jeans, but he managed.

Draco started walking again, but this time, Potter decided he had the right to tag along, I mean he does have a right but it's bloody annoying.

"Thanks,"

It was quiet but Draco heard the word escape Potter's mouth,

"Thanks," Draco looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow, obviously questioning him way he was being thanked, "for being worried about me, thank you"

"Whatever,' Draco pulled one of his hands out of his pocket and pushed his blond fringe out of his eyes, "so what happened anyway? Why is the Great Harry Potter mad with his redhead friend? Oh no, don't tell me, the golden trio is splitting up?" Draco dramatically clutched his right hand over is heart and did a big dramatic sigh to finish it off.

"Will you see, before we, the "golden trio" as you call it, walked into great hall, I decided then would be a good time to come out to Ron and Hermione, so then if they didn't agree, they couldn't make big deal out of it without disrupting the school. So I came out and they asked a few questions, like "is there someone who made you realise," or "how long have you known," which is fine, but I guess Ron didn't like one of my answers."

Potter didn't continue but he instead look out over the black lake, it seemed like he was staring but not seeing. Draco wanted to here the rest of the story, but he had manners and patience, just how long that patience would last is a different story

"Why'd he do?" Draco couldn't stop the words coming out of his mouth, but when they were said, they hung in the air with a heavy presence.

"Um, he.....um he and 'mione stayed in the entrance while I went into the Hall, but when they came in, Ron just wouldn't drop the subject, he keep saying things like 'why him, Harry?' And 'out of all the dudes at Hogwarts you like him?' And I guess, I just...snapped."

Potter's eyes had glazed over and his fingers kept tapping against his leg, Draco doesn't know why he noticed it, but he did.

"So who's this mysterious fellow that has stolen the heart of our young savior?" Draco knew he was teasing Potter, but it was so easy to do so and so much fun!

"Oh, he's -he goes, wait, he's in- you know what? It doesn't matter who," being the stubborn git he is, Potter stuck out his chin and set his face to an unreadable expression.

"I best be off now," Potter look up with a shy smile and small smile,"later draco."
