Unconditionally

Chapter 12

Someone has asked me to make the chapter longer, and I will try, I don’t promise anything though, I’m not good at writing long chapters I think. Anyway, this chapter will be a bit longer I hope, and Harry and Draco/Ethelyn will talk again, I hope you like it.

Harry, Dean and Seamus walked into the great Hall, where Hermione was already sitting. Harry stopped, not knowing what to say to her, or if to say anything to her. But she looked at him and he saw the trails of tears on her cheeks. She was hurt, and it was his fault. Harry walked over to her “I- I’m sorry Hermione..  I know you’re just worried, and I know I shouldn’t have yelled at you like that. I just was stressed, and confused and I couldn’t talk to you about it. Not because I don’t trust you or anything, but, it’s not just about me and I know they don’t want anyone to know and-”

He was interrupted by Hermione, who stood up and looked at him. “No Harry, it’s me who should be sorry, I know I don’t have the right to know everything that’s going on with you, but it’s just, you’re like a brother to me, and I’m worried about you..” Not knowing exactly what to say, Harry just hugged Hermione “It doesn’t matter, I shouldn’t have yelled at you.”

Meanwhile, Seamus and Dean had sat down at the table, looking at the two friends. The held a whispered conversation.

D: Have you told him already?
S: Yes, as you said, he’s perfectly fine with it, as he said, and I quote ‘that would be a bit hypocrite’

D: You mean.. Harry has a boyfriend?

S: Yes, our dear Harry here, has a boyfriend. Wouldn’t tell me who it was though.

D: A shame, who would he be with? Of course almost everyone in Hogwarts would want him, but he would only choose someone who does not treat him like a prince, only because he’s the chosen one.

S: I know, there aren’t that many boys in school who wouldn’t do that. Or you’d have to count the Slytherins of course.

D: I’ll ask him about it, maybe I can get something out of him.

S: Why would you? He didn’t tell me!

D: We both know I’m much better with words dear.

S: *sighs* Alright..

Harry and Hermione sat down on the table, opposite of Dean and Seamus. “Friends again?” Seamus asked them. Hermione blushed and nodded “Of course we are, he’s like my brother. I could never stay angry with him for too long, not over something as stupid as this.” Harry chuckled and added “We both know it will happen again though, thank god we have these two to keep us together.” Dean nodded and laughed “What would you do without us?” “He’d be dead in a week Dean, you know that.” Seamus said, also laughing.

When they were all done with breakfast, the Great Hall was still almost empty, since it was only seven am (That’s in the morning right? I’m sorry, I’m bad at those pm and am things, they’re confusing.) “Harry, can I talk to you for a minute?” Dean said when they walked out of the Great Hall. “Yeah sure, where?” “Somewhere private.” They walked towards an unused classroom, and sat down on one of the tables. “Where did you want to talk about?”
