Training for the Ballet Potter?

Chapter 5

I woke to crying near me, I look over and see Ron, sleeping and crying. Weird. Must be a bad dream or something. I had fallen asleep around 10 in the morning and it was around 1 in the morning, though I was still tired. I sat up and looked out my window, a pretty almost full moon, the perfect array of clouds in front of it, it looked like a fairytale almost. I've been thinking of how to tell Draco I like him, the thing is, it's really difficult when the person you like is hot and you can barely speak around them apart from comforting them. Wait did I just call him hot? I mean it's true but never mind. I decided to go to the Hospital wing to see if Draco was still there, even if it means sneaking through the school and breaking rules. 

I arrived at the hospital wing to see no one was in there, just my luck. Then I heard footsteps behind me, I quickly ducked behind a wall. Snape passed me along with Dumbledore, they were talking about something but I didn't care to listen to them. I quickly snuck away before they looked back. I headed back for my dorm but I saw someone standing at the entrance, tall, blonde, back towards me. When they heard my footsteps they turned around, it was Draco. Why was he here? "What are you doing here?" I whispered.

"Waiting for you," he replied almost to quietly for me to hear.

"What? Why? It's 1 in the morning," I ask.

"I know I just need you," he said, again, almost too quietly for me to hear. My heart skipped a few beats all at once. He must've saw the confused look on my face because then he ran to me and hugged me.

"Are you alright?" I ask, wondering what he needed.

"I just needed someone to hug me and you're the only person that can," he answers me, my heart overloaded with joy and happiness. Draco actually needed me. I didn't know what to say so I just stayed quiet and I hugged him back. I decided now was a good time to tell him how I feel, so if it goes badly I can run to my dorm which is right next to us.

"Hey, um, Draco," I say, he looks at me, waiting for what I was going to say.

Draco's POV 

"I just needed someone to hug me and you're the only person that can," I tell Harry, I could feel his heartbeat rise. Why was his heart going to fast? Is he nervous? 

"Hey, um, Draco," Harry says, I look at him, preparing myself for what he was about to say. I was honestly terrified, but I think he knew I was. "It's okay, it's nothing bad I promise, it just depends on how you take it," he adds, I couldn't wait. "I-um, like you," Harry finally spits out after standing there for like 2 minutes. His face goes red and he starts tearing up. "I-um, I'm sorry," Harry says as he runs to his dorm. I try to say something but he closes the door. So he does like me, that's amazing! I like him too but I didn't get a chance to say anything because he ran off.

Harry's POV 

I close the door and slide down against it, now sitting on the floor. I start crying. "Why did I do that, I'm so stupid, I shouldn't have told him," I say all at once looses my control over my breathing. I start to panic, wondering why I did that, does he like me back, will he ever talk to me again?

"Harry?" I heard from behind the door, it was Draco. I decide to stay silent and don't say anything. After a few minutes I heard him walk away. I walked over to my bed and tried to sleep, but sleep wasn't possible at the moment. It was around 6 in the morning when I heard Ron start to wake up. I decide to fix up my clothes and make myself look decent, even though I didn't have the energy. I decide to go find Hermione, assuming she was already awake. I saw her reading a book on the couch in the common room. "Hermione?" I call to her, she turns her head.

"Oh hey Harry," she answer me as she moves her legs off the couch so I could sit down. I sit down next to her.

"I told him," I tell her. She closes her book and looks at me.

"You told Malfoy?" she asks as I nod in return, "That's great Harry! What did he say?" she asked.

"I kind of chickened out after I told him and I ran to my dorm," I say as she shakes her head.

"It's alright, let's go down to breakfast, Ron can catch up later," she says as I nod and follow  her to the Great Hall. When I enter I see Draco standing at the doorway with Crabbe and Goyle. I panic and look at Hermione, I can feel that Draco is staring at me. Hermione grabs my arm and takes me to our spot. "Harry, it's okay, don't panic," she says trying to calm me down. I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat anything. I just sat there staring at the empty plate in front of me. Ron finally arrives with a sad expression on his face. 

"Why did you guys leave me?" Ron asks.

"You were taking too long," Hermione answers. Ron rolls his eyes. I keep my vision to my plate and tune out everyone. 

"Harry, we're leaving for potions," Ron says nudging me, I look up and nod. I get up and follow them out. In the corner of my eye I see Draco get up and follow us out, I tried to keep my pace quick but it wasn't quick enough.

"Weaslebee, Granger, mind if I speak with Potter alone?" Draco asks, I flinch as he calls me by my last name. I look over to Hermione, hoping she would help me out.

"Sure, go ahead," Hermione says quickly glancing at me. Her and Ron continue walking to class as Draco pulls me into the restroom. I look up at him, scared. I tried to walk away but he just grabbed my robe and pulled me into him. 

"Now, Harry, let me talk instead of running okay?" He asks, I nod, "What I was going to tell you is," he says right before he pulls me into a short kiss, my heart starts racing as my cheeks and ears turn red. He pulls away. "Do you get my message?" he asks, his cheeks painted with pink. I nod. "Good," he says as he pulls me in for a hug, I of course hug back. "We have class soon, go ahead and head there and I'll be there soon Harry," he says as I nod I start heading to potions. My mind is racing with thoughts, did he really just kiss me, he likes me back, are we dating? I enter potions right before it starts and slip next to Ron. Hermione slips me a glance with a concerned look and all I do is reply with a smile.
