《The Boy I Love》Chapter 5
Advertisement
I went straight to Gryffindor common room, where I saw Ron and Hermione cuddling on the couch. When I walked in I must have had a weird face because Hermione shot up immediately.
"Harry are you okay? I heard what happened" she asked with a look of concern on her face.
"Yeah mate you look awful" Ron chimed in chuckling a little.
"Oh shut up Ron. Seriously Harry are you alright?" She asked again. I just stared at them for a second until Ron started to get worried too.
"Was it that bad? Was it Ginny again? Or was it Pansy? That girl can not take a hint" I shake my head no because I still don't trust my voice.
"Then who?" Asked Hermione.
"Malfoy" I whispered. They looked at each other then back at me like they are ready to kill someone.
"What did that arse do now?" Ron asked seething.
"If he did anything to you I will-" Hermione said threw gritted teeth. I can practically see the steam coming out of her ears.
"No! No nothing like that" I say quickly to hopefully calm them down a bit before they rip him limb from limb.
"Then what happened?" They say at the same time. You know the saying 'the more time couples are together, the more alike they get'. I think its true for these two.
"Sit" I say pointing to the couch. Once they sit down I tell them everything that happened, from me running out of class, which got Ron a smack on the back of the head for not helping me, to me walking into the common room. Well..leaving out the part about me getting flustered and actually liking Malfoy whispering in my ear while pinning me. Hermione seemed to be more interested and what looks to be happy I think. But Ron looked furious.
"He did what!?" Ron pretty much yelled.
"I didn't know he was gay" Hermione said with scrunched eyebrows.
"Of course he isn't! He's probably just messing with Harry" Ron said throwing his hands up in anger.
"Why would he mess with me like that?" I ask.
"Maybe he found out your gay" Ron said. Thank Merlin everyone else is in class. If anyone heard him I would have killed him. Not that I'm ashamed or anything I just don't need all the press on me right now. Especially not the daily profit.

"And how would he have found that out Ron? Even if he did why would he do that instead of just telling everyone?" Hermione said trying to put reason in Ron's head. Good luck with that.
"She has a point Ron. That does sound like something he would do" I said.
"Yeah I guess. Then why did he do it?" He asks a little calmer then before.
"No clue" I said. we sat in silence for a bit until Hermione starts to speak again.
"How about we stop thinking about this before we fry our brains. Trying to figure out something we will probably never understand won't do us any good... anyone fancy a ButterBeer?" She asks looking between both of us.
"I think we should figure out how to get back at him" Ron said.
"How would we get back at him when we don't even know the reason behind what he did in the first place?" She said in an 'this is obvious' tone.
"I'm with Hermione. I want to stop thinking about it or I'm gonna go mad" I said while getting up.
"Fine, let's just hope it never happens again" Ron says while standing up.
"Agreed" Hermione and I said at the same time. We all walk out and make our way to hogsmeade. Once we get there we went straight to the three broomsticks. We walk in and people immediately swarm us. Ron and Hermione helped to get them away, along with some others. I decided to get a table in the back so hopefully we would be left alone. {honestly these girls are going to kill me one day} I sit down and not even a second later both Ron and Hermione come running over.
"Did you even see who is at the next table" Ron says in a hushed but panicked tone.
"No why?" I go to see who it is but Hermione snaps her fingers in my face so I don't look.
"Oh no one. Just Draco Malfoy" she whispered with a sly smile on her face. I look over and sure enough there he is along with Parkinson, Zabini, Crabbe, and Goyle. I immediately look down blushing.

"Oh my. Are you blushing?" Hermione asks very excited for some reason.
"Oh no you are" Ron said. I stay silent while Hermione pretty much fan girls and Ron has a look of disgust and modification. "Oh wait. Please tell me you don't fancy him now"
"What!? Of course not" I said quickly. They both just continue to stare at me with a 'really' look.
"Harry you might want to look in a mirror before you say that" Hermione said referring to my red face which just makes me blush more.
"Yeah Harry. Your face is as red as a tomato" Ron says pointing at me.
"I don't!!" I say again a little louder this time.
"Harry!!" Hermione says in the same tone I did.
"Fine. Okay. I might think he's a little... cute" I say looking down at my lap.
"Awww" Hermione says while Ron looks like he is going to be sick and makes fake gaging noises. "Oh shut up Ron" Hermione says while I roll my eyes. Then I look over to see Malfoy starring straight at me. He looks...angry? Sad? Maybe a little bit of both. I turn back to my friends only to hear Ron going on one of his tantrums again.
"I mean really Harry of all people why him?" He says indicating to Malfoy with his head.
"Ronald Weasley be quiet. You can't chose who you like" Hermione says defending me.
"I know that and I support Harry no matter who he ends up with wether it be boy or girl" he says rather loud.
"Ron!!" Hermione and I whisper scream and she even hit his arm. Which he completely deserved.
"I'm sorry but I'm mean seriously? Draco Malfoy? After everything he's done?" He says in a quieter tone.
"I swear Ron if you don't shut up" I say threw gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry" he says throwing his hands up in defense. Our butter beers come and I start chugging mine down like it's nothing. All of a sudden I see Malfoy out the corner of my eye getting up and leaving like he was three hours late for something. "What was that about?" Asked Ron. Me and Hermione just shrugged. Soon after all his minions leave too. I'm assuming to go after their leader.
We spent the rest of the night drinking, laughing, and having fun. Until we had to go back to our dorms. We had so many butter beers to the point me and Ron got a little tipsy and poor Hermione had to practically carry us back.
When we were walking, me and Ron kept laughing and stumbling around. Then Neville and Luna walked over to us. "Hello Harry, Ron, and Hermione" said Luna in the weird way she always talks.
"It looks like you two drank a little to much" said Neville chuckling a bit.
"Thank Merlin can you two help me?" Hermione pleaded. They both said yes, Luna and Neville took Ron while I leaned on Hermione. We all start walking to the Gryffindor common room when I saw Malfoy staring at me from across the hall. He had a smug grin on his face which isn't that unusual for him but this one was different somehow.
{did he over hear us talking about him earlier? No. Of course not. He would have done something by now} Hermione and I continue walking until my head hits my soft pillow. Ron is currently about to puke his guts out. I'm less drunk then him but I still don't feel so good.
He is going to have the worst day tomorrow. Hermione went to care for him and told me that I should go to sleep. Once she left I got under the covers. I let the darkness consume me as I slowly slipped away. I fell asleep thinking about a certain blonde wizard and what happened between us.
I thought he was going to kiss me today. I wanted him to kiss me.
Oh this isn't good.

About the tags: Although there are game elements, there are absolutely not the focus of the story so this isn't exactly a LitRPG.
