III: Crazy for you
I’m losing my mind
Boy, because I’m going crazy
You’ve done it all
Now you’ll drive me, crazy
Crazy – for you – baby
Harry had been scoffing at Seamus for days. Whenever Seamus tried to approach Harry he growled angrily and Seamus grew more scared of Harry every time he heard the raven haired boy make sounds that were proof of agression.
Their non-verbal battle hadn’t gone unnoticed by the other Gryffindors. Both Hermione and Ron had tried to persuade Harry to talk to Seamus – but Harry didn’t listen. For some reason – unknown to everyone but Harry – he couldn’t stand Seamus all of a sudden.
During supper Harry’s anger reached its boiling point. Seamus had just asked Ron – who was sitting next to Harry – to pass him the syrup.
“If you think it’s so bloody easy for Ron to give you the syrup, why don’t you fucking well do it yourself? You think it’s easy, well it isn’t! When you have no idea how – euhrm-... Ron is feeling!” Harry had jumped up from his seat and was screaming so loud that the whole Great Hall had heard his outburst.
“Eurhm, Harry, don’t worry, it’s fine, I feel just fine – I don’t mind handing Seamus the syrup. Here, see?” Ron tried to calm Harry down, showing him how he slowly handed Seamus the bottle.
Harry sat down again, heavily panting with anger. He couldn’t believe what Seamus had proposed him to do, when in the mean time he acted as if it was no big deal. To Harry it was a big deal. It wasn’t just confessing your love to a distant friend or a familiar face. It was facing his worst fears – combining love and hate in Draco. How could that ever go right? It couldn’t. Although he had experienced perfect bliss in his dreams whenever he’d told dream Draco how he felt, he knew reality wouldn’t be so gentle.
“Harry, are you okay? What is wrong with you? I am fine, really,” Ron put his hand on Harry’s shoulder. “Don’t worry.”
Harry couldn’t help smiling. Ron was too kind for his own good – the redhead had absolutely no clue what was going on in Harry’s mind. And Harry had no plans to change that.
From the corner of his eyes Harry saw that Seamus had stood up and left the table, taking Dean and Neville with him. Sure, that was just what he needed, an inter-Gryffindor-battle.
Wow. Draco sat baffled at the Slytherin table. This was a new development he hadn’t foreseen. He had caused this argument – and it was growing very much out of control, judging by Harry’s unsuspected outburst. And now he saw Seamus get up, joined by some fellow Gryffindors, staring at Harry with fierce anger.
He didn’t feel guilty – no, not at all. But this was getting in the way of his favourite pastime of Discovering Harry’s Secret Male Crush. He knew just the solution for this unsuitable row. How they had learned at History of Magic: a common enemy unites a country – the same would go for a House. As soon as the Gryffindors would have a common enemy to battle against, they’d forget their indifferences. And Draco knew just the right enemy for the job. He smirked – looking smug as always.
Even too smug to realise Harry had been staring at him for the last minutes, dwelling on certain thoughts.
With strategic brilliance Draco had picked his target. It was going to be Seamus and this would be the perfect opportunity for Harry to play saviour of the wizarding world once again and patch things up with Seamus.
“Aha – Finnigan, what the hell are you doing?” Seamus looked up in bewilderment at Draco. He had just been walking through the hallway, with Harry a few metres behind him, sulking. They had Charms classes to attend.
“You know what I mean!” Draco yelled again – adding an extra touch of drama. “You are a despicable creature of Gryffindor!” Draco drew his wand, just to show he was serious.
But he wasn’t at all prepared for Seamus to be serious too. The Gryffindor had pulled his wand and started muttering spells that sounded like they were not going to be any good. Before Draco could rake his brain for something delightfully evil to respond with – Seamus had cast his spell. Thick dark clouds immensed from the tip of Seamus’s wand, drawing nearer to Draco.
But before he realised what had happened a dark figure had jumped in front of him, summoning a bright Patronus that forced the blackness away.
“Jesus – Seamus, are you totally mad? That was bloody dangerous!” The figure had jerked Seamus’s wand out his hand.
Fuck. Draco could kick himself in the head. This was not – at – all – how he pictured this. Harry should have hated him and saved Seamus, not the other way around! Why did Potter have to play saviour for everyone – not just his own Housemates? Why did Harry find it necessary to save him?
“Harry’s right, that was a very dark spell – something to use in a battle with You-Know-Who, not for school arguments.” Draco recognised Granger’s voice. How could he not, how often she held monologues in class. He snorted.
Seamus grew only more angry. “He is a Death-Eater, so why shouldn’t I?” After that he ran up the stairs – apparently heading for the Gryffindor common room, forgetting all about his classes.
“Well, thanks Potter, I guess I’ll just get going,” Draco brushed some invisible dirt off his cloak and casually tried to get away.
“Not so fast!” Harry growled and pushed Malfoy against the nearest wall. “What was that good for?”
“What?” Draco replied innocently. Why had he had to get himself in so much trouble? His plans were brilliant, they never went wrong.
“Seamus didn’t do anything! Why did you pick a fight for no reason?” Draco was sure he could hear a distinct low growling noise from the back of Harry’s troath. So brutal – so fierce – so animal-like.
“I don’t need reasons.”
“Yes you do.” Harry’s hands pushed Draco more and more into the wall – almost causing pain.
“Hey, Potter, I can’t help it if you’re a bit out of it and start seeing things that aren’t there.” Draco just couldn’t resist.
“What do you mean?” Harry ogled Draco suspisiously.
“It’s obvious you have certain issues,” Draco smirked,” you need to deal with – soon.”
Harry was now staring at Draco with his mouth open.
“Just – just – go!” he screamed at the Slytherin, pushing him into a deserted corridor.
Harry himself ran.

He was going crazy. He was losing his mind. He couldn’t even remember what day it was today. Oh, yes, Wednesday, Draco’s always wears beige slacks on Wednesday’s – but that was beyond the point. First Seamus had enflamed his anger by challenging him to do something about this love of his and now even Malfoy himself had told him (in a way) he should deal with his issues! Not that Draco knew about him – right? No, be couldn’t know. He wouldn’t have said such a thing if he knew.
Maybe Seamus had been right all along. Perhaps it was him who was making a fool of himself. Harry sighed – he had too many soft spots. Before he knew it, he had his cellphone in his hand, thinking of a way to get Seamus forgive him. He didn’t dare face him – together with those soft spots came also immense shyness.
“Hey, Harry,” Ron had just entered their dorm,” I’ve seen you’ve made some progress with that fighting. From eyes to fists – huh?” Ron smiled.
Harry grinned. “Yeah, I did.”

‘Crazy’ from Aerosmith of course – loving them.
Author’s Notes: I did of course realise you couldn’t use Muggle electronics in Hogwarts, but these are just like Muggle cellphones, only they are magical. I mentioned ‘the network’, by which I meant the magical variety of ‘our’ network. I think I thought it would look silly if I’d explain.
But I got this idea from a friend who kept getting messages on his phone from someone he didn’t know. This someone seemed to think he (my friend) was her lover, opening up in certain ways you’d not expect! It was quite funny, actually. But in the end my friend phoned her and explained he wasn’t who he thought she was. Nothing evolved from that – but from this, there will!
And no messages this chapter, just to slow things down for a bit.
Next chapter: something verry cunning will happen that’ll turn the tables!
