Chapter 3: Confrontations

Harry apologized for not taking Draco’s hand in friendship back in first year, while explaining why to him. Draco admitted though reluctantly that he had acted a little like a prat back then, but only because he was raised that way. Harry and Draco continued to talk while walking down to Hogsmeade.

Harry and Draco walked into Hogsmeade side by side talking which was a surprise for everyone there. But Harry and Draco didn’t pay it any attention. At least not until Ron and Hermione came over and started to yell at Harry.

“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING WITH THE FERRET POTTER!!!!?” Ron atomically yelled as soon as he was close enough.

Harry looked Ron straight in the eyes and said as if he had no idea what Ron was talking about, “What, I’m not allowed to hang out with my friends now or something Weasley?”

Draco smiled once again that day because of Harry, he really had to stop doing that or he would lose that ‘Slytherin Ice Prince’ persona. Ron glared at Draco and then started in on Harry again.

“The Slytherins are your friends now? Malfoys your friend, did you get lonely Potter?” Ron asked, smiling.

Harry’s eyes started to mist at the last comment Ron made. Hermione saw and decided to have her fill of fun.

“Oh, are you going to cry Potter? No one wants you so you had to become friends with the first person who says something to you. Do you do tricks for him too Potter, come on roll over.” Hermione’s squeaky voice sneered out.

Draco was pissed; hell if you looked at his face you would see that he was fucking livid. No one talked to his friends that way. No one talked to HIS Harry that way. Yes, HIS Harry. Draco couldn’t stand to see Harry look so sad; he wanted to kill them because they put that look on his face.

Draco turned a glare on Granger and ground out in his most icy, hatful voice “Shut the fuck up you filthy little mudblood, I’m a better friend then you could ever dream to be, do you always turn you back on your friends.”

“Shut up Malfoy, stay out of this.” said the disgusting voice of Weasley.

“Fuck off weasel, you think your so big and mighty don’t you, turning your back on a friend of four years” Draco spat at Ron.

By this time everyone was gathering around to see the fight going on between the four people, including most of Gryffindor house.

“W..Why did you turn your backs on me? You just stopped writing after I defeated Voldemort. Why?” Came Harry’s hesitant voice.

“You think we really wanted to be friends with you anymore, You-Know-Who is dead now, and we just wanted to have the privilege of saying we were the best friends of The-Boy-Who-Lived.” Ron said proudly, not noticing all the Gryffindors around, listening closely.

“You assholes, all these years you were only friends with me for the fame. I never thought that you could sink so low. I almost died that night if it hadn’t been for Snape and Malfoy helping me and keeping the other Death Eaters away I would be, I hope you rot in hell.” Yelled Harry outraged.

The Gryffindors couldn’t believe it, Ron and Hermione had told them that Harry had attacked Ginny, Ron’s little sister. That was the only reason they had stopped talking to him. The didn’t even believe Neville when he said that Harry wouldn’t do that, that Harry thought of Ginny like his own little sister. They were even going to teach Harry a lesson, but Ginny had asked them not to, she said that she was afraid that he would come after her again. They would of still of done it, but a lot were afraid of Harry and they didn’t want to chance it that he would go after them or try to hurt Ginny again. They didn’t want to be the cause of Ginny getting hurt again.

“YOU LIED TO US!!!” Yelled one Gryffindor.

“HOW COULD YOU?” Yelled another.

“What? What are you all talking about?” asked Harry.

One of the Gryffindors pushed their way to the center of the group to talk to Harry, but when he tried to walk up to Harry he was blocked by Draco. Harry looked around Draco to see who he was blocking, and saw Seamus Finnigan standing there.

“Harry” Seamus began “we didn’t know that was the reason they stopped talking to you, they told us that you attacked Ginny, that you tried to rape her, we’re so sorry.” When Seamus was finished he turned and punched Ron right in the face. “How could you do that, you made us think that Harry was some kind of monster, you made us never want to talk to him again! Why?” Seamus yelled at Ron.

With the help of Hermione, Ron finally got back to his feet; he glared at Seamus and the rest of the Gryffindors. “What, you actually want to be friends with him, he so fucking self centered. All he does is think about himself, and if he’s not he sitting around moping, oh boo who, what will I do, no one loves me, wa wa wa. He’s acts like he’s this great saint and we should all bow down to him. Get over your self.” Ron said to Harry and pretty much anyone listening to him.

Seamus went to hit him again, but before he could Draco had Ron pinned to the ground beating the crap out of him, all the while yelling, “You would be sad too if your parents died to protect you, if you had a mad man after you, and if you had to deal with assholes who called themselves your friends. Go to hell weasel.” With that Draco punched Ron one last time and got up, leaving the now black, blue and purple boy on the ground to bleed. He wondered though why the mudblood hadn’t tried to stop him, only to look up and see that someone had stunned her and that she was lying in a puddle of mud. ‘Devine justice if you ask me’ thought Draco, along with almost all the Gryffindors, at least the ones not laughing their asses off that is.

Harry smiled at the Gryffindors, gave Draco a kiss on the cheek in front of everybody, and spit on Ron and Hermione before grabbing Draco’s hand and started to pull him back to Hogwarts, their day in Hogsmeade completely ruined.

“You ok?” Draco asked once they were far enough away were no one could hear.

“Yes, thank you for sticking up for me.” Harry replied.

Draco came to a halt, pulled Harry around and gently placed his lips on Harry’s. Harry stood frozen for a minute until he fully realized that he was being kissed and then kissed back with a great deal of passion. Draco licked Harry’s lip before pulling out of the kiss, and then started to lead Harry up to the school.

When they walked through the main doors, they were met by Lucius and Severus, “Harry, Draco we would like you two to join us for dinner in Severus’s rooms tonight.” Spoke Lucius.

“Why?” asked Draco.

“Just be there by six-thirty” Snapped Professor Snape, and with that both Lucius and Severus walked away, back to Severus’s room most likely.

Draco just looked at Harry and shrugged before leading Harry to the great hall for lunch.
