Unconditionally

chapter 13

I’m planning on getting them together again this chapter, I’ll try and make this a longer chapter again.

When Harry came out of the Room of Requirement, he put the paper he was holding in his bag and walked to the Gryffindor common room. When he entered the room, Seamus and Dean were sitting near the fire, together with Ron and Hermione. “Hey guys!” They looked up and Seamus immediately asked “Where the hell have you been all this time? You’ve been gone for hours man!”

“Is it that late? Wow... Must’ve forgotten the time. I was in the Room of Requirements. ” Seamus and Dean looked knowingly at each other, thinking he had been with Draco. “You spend an awful lot of time in that room mate...” Harry chuckled “It’s an awesome room, it can change in whatever you need at the moment.”

Harry sat down and looked at Hermione “Do you happen to know who the Hufflepuff girls in our year are? ” She looked at him confused but answered “Er, yeah, you have Susan Bones, Hannah Abott, Kiana Marin,Celeste Fields, Dabria Montgomery and Dawn Hastings. Why do you want to know?”

“Oh, nothing, just curious. Er, I’ve got to go, see you guys later.” Harry stood up and walked out of the common room again, leaving his friends behind in confusion. He took the Marauder’s map and looked for the names of the four Hufflepuff girls. He knew both Susan and Hannah wouldn’t have been the girls Draco was talking about, he’d never go to girls he already knew.

When Harry found the girls names on the map, sitting near the lake under a tree, he walked as fast as possible towards them. “Celeste, Dabria, Dawn and Kiana?” They looked up and Dabria immediately got angry. “How could you do that to Ethelyn? You broke her fucking heart!” At first, Harry was confused “Ethelyn? Who is, oh, Draco?” This made Dabria only more angry “Her name, is Ethelyn you idiot!”

“How was I supposed to know? She never told me her name!” Celeste put a hand on Dabria’s shoulder to calm her “Dabria calm down, let him explain. I know he hurt Ethelyn, but you never know, maybe we misunderstood. ” Dabria sighed and sat back down. “Alright, explain.” Harry took a deep breath and started talking.

“She came to me yesterday afternoon, we had agreed to meet in the Room of Requirements. She told me she didn’t like having to pretend to hate me all the time, and I said we could tell people about us. She told me she had already told someone, you four, and I asked why she would talk to Hufflepuff girls, no offence, but Draco Malfoy couldn’t be seen with Hufflepuffs. She became nervous and said she was dressed up, she didn’t look the same as usual. I asked her why she would dress up as someone else, and she said she dressed up as herself. I was confused, and then she told me she was transgender, and actually a girl.”

Dabria interrupted him “And you broke her heart?!” he shook his head “No, I asked her to show me how she looked like as a girl. She did, and I was shocked, she looked so beautiful and I couldn’t believe what the spells had done to her, she was really a girl. I don’t know what I expected, but you really couldn’t see the difference from other girls.” He sighed sadly “She misread my look and ran away. Today, I tried to talk to her again, but she doesn’t want to. She’s too afraid to let her heart break again. She said I had to make her believe I didn’t think she was disgusting or anything like that. And for that I need your help.”
