Chapter Two- The End of the Begining

"Harry?" Ron said eagerly while wiping the sleep from his eyes.
"What are you doing up so early? And still in your pajamas?"
"I couldn't sleep." Harry lied right through his teeth, which added more weight lying in the pit of his stomach.
"Erm…..it was too dark to find my clothes, and I didn't want to wake anyone"
"Oh." Ron said with exceedingly raised eyebrows.
"But I should ask you the same question. (even though Harry was trying to change the subject, he was, somewhat, curious.) I would never expect you up so early. EXPESSIALY dressed and fully awake." Harry said with a large grin.
"I promised Hermoine I would spend the morning with her. You know..before classes start and what-not." Ron said, a wide grin now breaking out on his face and his ears turned red like they do when he's a bit overly embarrassed. Harry's grin disappeared, as he turned his face in the oppisite direction of Ron. Hermoine and Ron had been dating for the past month, but Harry still had that twinge of jealousy when he had seen them walking down the hall holding hands, or cuddled up into a chair reading a book. `But that doesn't matter' Harry's consience told him. `At least you know Ron goes out with Hermoine.' `He doesn't sneak out of the room during the night and sneak back in before sunrise so you don't suspect anything' His conciense told him again.

"Harry? Are you feeling ok? You're not yourself. You seem lost in your own thoughts."
"Yeah…..I'm fine." Harry lied once more. "I guess I'm tired"
"Oh" Ron said softly. He looked up at the big clock above the fireplace.
"BLIMEY! I better go if I don't want Hermoine to be in huff at me!" Ron said hurridly. He walked to the fat lady's portrait and waved to Harry.
"See you later mate!….oh and you might want to get some sleep or something, we have double potions with Slytherin this morning" He said with a slight groan in his voice. "If I'm stuck with that bloody fat git Goyle again I swear I'll chop him up and put HIM in the potion!" He turned and left with a slight grin on his face mumbling something about feeding it to Crabbe.

Harry sighed and checked the clock. He didn't feel like breakfast. Maybe he'd go for a walk to clear his mind. He walked up stairs to his room. He changed into his jeans and a shirt. He pulled his robes over it so he would be ready for classes. He fed Hedwig and as he didthe snowy white-gray owl looked at him and gave him a dignified hoot as to say "Gee thanks, why don't you drop by another time!" Harry mumbled; "Sorry Hedwig" and walked to the door. Just as he opened the door, he looked down ant Ron's bedside table, and looked at the picture that was there. It was Ron and Hermoine standing out on the Qudditch field. They were smiling and waving, Ron's freckles standing out more than usual, and Hermoine's skirt blowing nicely in the gentle breeze.
Harry sighed and left the room, tears slipping down his cheeks.

Harry walked down the stairs and outside. It was chilly outside but there was little wind so Harry didn't pay it any mind. He looked onto the Quidditch field and more tears instantly slipped down his face. `How could I be so selfish?' Harry asked himself. `You should be happy for them. They're your best friends.' And he was happy for them, he just didn't show it. At all. He couldn't help it. He felt so……empty. Cold. Alone.
He looked around and his eyes landed on Hagrid's hut. Of all the times harry had turned to him when something went wrong, or was bothering him. But he couldn't turn to him now. He couldn't tell anyone about Draco. But her would never leave him . He couldn't break that ring of……..love. Of course no one would suspect anything. Harry and Malfoy had been enimies ever since their first year at Hogwaarts. They always got on each others nerves. They hated ach other. Until that is, one day. The day that changed Harry's life around. Harry remembered as if it was yesterday. It had been a Friday. Harry had gotton Detention from Professor Snape. He had to clean the trophies in the trophy room. But, when he got there, he found a very impleasant surprise……….Draco Malfoy. They both started cleaning the trophies and decided to ignore each others insults. But it was too much when Malfoy started talking about Harry's parents. Harry snapped. But before he could take out his wand, Malfoy had his out, pointed it at Harry and yelled `Stupefy!' Harry fell over, and Draco got scared. He didn't know why, but he did. He kneeled beside Harry and shook him to wake him up, but it didn't work. Malfoy sat beside him Harry. He didn't understand why he cared, but he did. Harry's face was pale. Malfoy pointed his wand at Harry's face once more and shot some water out of it. It didn't work. Malfoy started to panic. Malfoy looked at Harry, whose face was now wet. His sharp green eyes shone brightly. His lips so moist. Next thing Malfoy knew, his lips were on Harry's. he didn't know how or why. He just knew that he wanted it. He wanted it a lot. Things took off from that point. Apparently, Harry had wanted it just as bad.
