The Doom Triangle

Draco watched amazed at the movements that Harry had made up. He was not too worried about catching the snitch today; Draco wanted to watch Harry Potter as much as he could. They had hardly spoken since that last meeting but Draco knew that something was on Harry’s mind.

The thing was Draco had worked something out. Harry Potter could no longer have Hermione as his girlfriend if that was what he had been hoping, because it was known all over the school that she was in a deep relationship with non other then Cho Chang, it could not have been hidden even if they tried for it to be.

It was thanks to a first year that everyone found out. He, the poor child, had walked into the room Hermione and Cho had been in and got such a fright that he started screaming and attracted everyone, and the two girls could not hide in time. Everyone got there to see them pull apart and Draco was sure that he had seen Cho hide some sort of floppy thing behind her back.

Just then Harry went flying past and caught the snitch, Draco hadn’t even seen it. The crowd bellowed cheered with delight at the win and Draco with a shrug flew back down to the grounds. He had to wait there as Dumbledore was once again presenting Gryffindor with the cup and the crowd cheered once again. The whole time Draco kept his eyes on Harry and as his secret love turned with the cup their eyes met. Harry smirked and Draco felt his heart flatter with hope, \'What had that smirk meant? Was there something behind it? Is it possible that the guy feels the same way for me as I do for him?\' Draco shock his head thinking he was stupid and walked away in a bad mood for his stupidity.

Harry felt disappointed, he had turned to Draco and smiled but all that had happened was Draco frowned and walked away angrily. Harry was not having any luck with this relationship. For weeks he had been trying to give Draco hints on how he was feeling but nothing seemed to be working for him. Even when Hermione and Cho was out in the open nothing changed, Draco was still the same and Harry wondered if Draco believed that he could still get Hermione, or maybe even Cho as well.

With a sigh he moved off to the castle with the rest of the houses, planning to go up the Gryffindor Tower and celebrate their win. \'But it wouldn’t be much with out a glance of Draco,\' Harry thought.

The other new thing was Ron, Harry was happy for him, Ron had also found love, and not in Harry this time. Harry guessed it was why Ron was so angry when Hermione went to the Ball with Krum, they had all thought Ron was angry because he wanted Hermione but it turns out that he wanted Krum. Sure Ron still loved Harry, but Krum was his new love and Harry was glad that Ron was off his case because now he could finally concentrate on Draco and Draco alone.

Everyone was already in front of Harry but he didn’t care, he wanted to think before he entered to noisy room. However, just as Harry was passing by a door on the third floor, somebody grabbed him and pulled him into the room.

“What the…” Harry cried.

He had hit the ground and was now getting to his feet rubbing his arm and looking around for the person who had pulled him inside the room. As he looked he saw something move in the shadows.

“Who’s there?” He asked on edge pulling out his wand.

“I know your secret Harry.” A voice answered.

Chills ran down Harry’s back, the voice was icy cold and it reminded him of somebody but he just couldn’t think of who.

“What are you talking about?” Harry asked.

“You love somebody.” They replied.

Harry’s mouth went dry, how could this be, who could know such a thing like this, Voldemort could not get into his mind anymore but it was not even him.

“I don’t understand.” Harry lied.

“Oh, but I think that you do young Potter, so I’ll give you some help, Draco loves somebody himself.” They told him.

Harry gulped, was it over before it even started, \'Could Draco have moved from Hermione to somebody else already?\' Harry mind screamed. The person who had been talking to him had never said a thing after this and left.

“What do I do now?” Harry asked the air almost crying.

Giving up Harry left the room and walked miserablely down the hall again on his way to the common room. However now he was not in any mood to celebrate the win, he just wanted to go to bed and mope over his loss.

Ron had noticed Harry’s mood straight away when he had walked into the common room. His best friend had put on a face to look happy but Ron could see behind it, Ron knew that Harry was pre-occupied with something. But Ron thought that Harry was good at working things out and left him, the thing was Ron wanted to watch all the other sexy guys in his house, it was a habit that he had picked up not long ago.

Hermione moved over and sat down next to him and she smiled. They had become closer now that they understood what the other was feeling.

“Did you notice Harry?” she asked.

“Yeah, but, it doesn’t matter, he’ll work it all out.” Ron said.

He wasn’t really in the mood; he wanted to continue watching Collin Creevey who was playing around with Ron’s sister Ginny.

“Draco still hasn’t noticed then.” Hermione sighed.

“Oh…you worked it out to?” Ron asked surprised.

“Well, um, Harry kind of admitted it to me.” Hermione replied.

“But you have to look at it, Harry hasn’t noticed Draco either.” Ron said.

“Yes, they are both blinded to the truth.” Hermione agreed.

“The truth, yes, and soon they will see it.” Ron declared.

“Maybe we could, you know, push it along a bit.” Hermione said.

“NO! Love has to work on its own, you can not force people to love, it never works, they have to see it, feel it, and know it for themselves to know it is real. We can’t go around and play with it, it’ll be wrong.” Ron said

“Ron, that, is the most, wonderful thing I have ever heard you say. It is just so true.” Hermione breathed teary eyed. Ron smiled and then with out a word he got up and left to go to his dorm, wanting to get a good rest before tomorrows subjects.
