I love you even on a bad day when everyone else annoys me.

Harry's POV

It's been a few days since Draco agreed to stop fighting and I've been enjoying his company a lot. We study together, go outside together, hang out alone from Ron and Hermione sometimes.

Currently I was chatting with Neville about some new plant he discovered at the woods near his house at dinner when I felt someone sit beside me.

"Hey Dra- Gin?" I said, expecting to see a tall blonde but was instead met with my 'girlfriend'. I'm not sure what to call her, it's almost like we made a silent agreement to take a break.

"Yeah, hey Harry. It's been quite long since we've talked.." She trailed as she gave me a little grin.

"Yeah, you're right." I said with a little nod of my head. This was kinda awkward. I sighed and thought about wether or not I should ask to talk later so I can break it to her.

But then again, did I want to break it to her? Yes I wanted to but I can't.. Ron would skin me alive and... Ginny would be heart broken because of me or maybe she's moved on too? I wished.

"Hey, Draco." Hermione called out as she spotted the familiar blonde. He walked over to us with a smile but it soon fell as his eyes laid on the girl sitting beside me.

I scooted closer to Ginny and made space for him towards my right.

"Sit down." I said as I patted the spot. He gave a slight nod before scooting in and giving me a smile that had a little bit of a playfulness to it.

"Lake?" He whispered into my ear.

I nodded, giving a thumbs up. One of the places me and Draco usually met at was the black lake. It was a nice place and promised us more privacy.

"How has the school year been so far for you, Harry?" Gin asked.

"It's been fine, how about you?" I asked back, wanting to be polite.

"Oh it's been fine, not the same without your kisses." She flirted and I had to stop myself from cringing.

"Uh... nice?" I replied, looking at Hermione who sat across from me for help. She understood the look and quickly grabbed Gin's attention, engaging her in a conversation about quidditch.

I turned to Draco who looked more uncomfortable than me.

"What's wrong?" I asked him with concern as I nudged his shoulder lightly.

"Nothing, let's just eat." He said, shaking his head, filling his plate. I decided to let it go and followed his action.

Eating became way easier now and I wouldn't cut myself anymore but that didn't mean that the thoughts stopped and I don't think they ever will. It's become a part of me as time went by. Haunting me day and night.

Dinner was good and nothing too special other than Ginny flirting with me at times, it made me real uncomfortable and I felt bad. Was i a horrible person? Should I just break it so I don't lead her too much or just force myself to love her... to make her happy.

I didn't know, I really didn't.

Dinner soon finished and I stood up with Draco to make our way to the black lake.

"Wait, Harry!" I heard the familiar voice of Gin call from behind and I let out a few cuss words under my breath, turning around and offering her a smile.

"Yes, Gin?" I asked with dreadful feeling in my guts, like something bad was gonna happen.

"Um... could we maybe talk?" She asked the one question I was trying to avoid.
