It all started with a deal. That day Harry came out and the entire wizarding world found out that The Boy who lived was gay was a complete chaos. Hundreds of reporters were camping outside the castle gate. Everyday, hundreds of owls swoop in and out bringing letters, marriage proposal, and howlers. Because of that the headmaster was forced to placed the castle into lock down. Thankfully, it only takes a week or two before the reporters finally gave up, and the owls stopped.
But even the chaos outside settled down, the situation inside the castle was a different story. Since that day being alone was hardly possible for Harry. Anywhere he go he was accompanied by one of his friends, as he was always assaulted by crazy fans both boys and girls. Every time he went to the dining hall, his foods was tested and checked for love potion.
This made Harry uncomfortable, frustrated, and ill-tempered. One day he approached the green eyed gryffindor. He joked for them to pretend as lovers. That would made all those crazy fans stopped chasing him. To his surprise Harry took it seriously. That's when their fake relationship started. When they are in public they acted like a real couple. They hold hands, they hugged, they snogged like a,real couple do. The deal was only for a month, or until the chasing and assault finally stopped.
During those times they were together that he noticed something unusual from Harry. It started with those longing looks Harry was sending to Draco Malfoy everytime he thought no one was looking. Also how he immediately reacted every time the blond slytherin throw an insult towards him, or every time started a fight with him. Add to the fact that that never happened to anyone no matter how wrong or rude they said about him he just ignore them all, buy with Malfoy even just a simple glare towards him quickly caught attention and flared his temper.
There were also days when Harry constantly babbling Malfoy here, Malfoy there. Malfoy this, Malfoy that. He also noticed every time they entered the great hall Harry's gaze automatically wandered towards the slytherin table, or when they had class with the said house Harry secretly searched for that unique blond hair before he settled down to his usual seat.
Until one day Seamus finally realized the reason behind all of those looks, actions, and reaction. A news spread the entire castle that Malfoy was sent to St.Mungo's for a reason only the staff and the blond's friend knew, and there was no tentative date of his return.
That news made Harry snappish and ill-tempered. And it got worse the longer the absence of the blond slytherin. Then one day he found him curled on his bed crying his heart out until he fell asleep. But even in his sleep it was still occupied by the blond slytherin, as Harry keep mumbling Malfoy's name in his sleep. Thats when the truth finally it him. Harry Potter was hopelessly in love with Draco Malfoy. And if he really thought about it, his Harry's feelings wasn't developed just recently. He could bet, it was already there the very first moment he laid his eyes on the blond slytherin.
So when the chaos finally settled down, Seamus was confused when Harry hadn't said anything about ending their fake relationship. Instead, Harry became more affectionate and intimate towards him. And the next thing thing he knew, they were already in bed, both naked fucking senseless. But in those moment Harry never looked him in his eyes. He understand, he really do. He knew that Harry was just using him to try and divert his attention. He was just a substitute for someone Harry really wanted to have. After every mind blowing sex, Harry will smile at him, then Harry would kiss him, sweet and gentle kiss. For other couples that kiss meant ‘i love you’, but for them, that’s Harry’s way of saying ‘sorry’. But he wasn’t hurt or insulted. He cared for Harry, he really do. He love him, but he was not in love with him. They are partners, but they aren’t lovers. he would prefer that he was the one with Harry, than someone who might just take advantage to him.
Sometimes he was hurt, but not for himself but for Harry. Because no one noticed how Harry was suffering emotionally, no one noticed how his heart break every time he said something awful to Malfoy, or the pain in his eyes every time Malfoy say something awful to him. Well no one except Hermione and Ron, but Harry was surely oblivious that his best friends already figured out his most hidden secret.
Sometimes he was tempted to approached the blond, but at the same time he doesn’t want to betray Harry’s trust. And besides he doesn’t knew before what was Harry’s reason why he was trying very hard to suppressed his feelings towards the blond slytherin. And that’s the very reason why he was deep in his thoughts at the moment. Now he was already aware of Harry’s reason, but was it really enough? When Harry passed out in the great hall, he saw a flashed of concern and worry in Malfoy’s eyes. It was just a mere second, but he was sure of what he saw. So maybe there’s still a chance, even just a tidbit, but still a chance none the less. He was pulled from his thoughts when someone sat beside him.
“Hey shay,” Harry greeted him with a soft smile.
“Harry! We thought you’ll be staying at the infirmary for the entire summer? Madam Pomfrey said your magic was still unstable,” asked Seamus, as he gave Harry a one arm hug.
“Oh I do hope so, but Professor Dumbledore said i need to return to Surrey,” replied Harry down hearted as he leaned to Seamus resting his head to the irish Gryffindor’s shoulder. Except to Hermione, Ron, Neville, Luna and the Twins, Seamus was the only one he felt so comfortable to be this affectionate with. Maybe because Seamus Doesn’t care about his fame, he didn’t take advantage when they’re pretending as couple, and because he knew Seamus really do care for him.
“Shay?”
“Hmm?”
“About what happened, I’m sorry,” said Harry sincerely, but Seamus just waved his hand dismissively.
“Nothing to apologize Harry. I understand,”
“But-”
“Harry, listen,” said Seamus as he turned to face Harry. “you want to make it up to me?” he asked. When Harry nodded, he continued. “ All i want you to do is give yourself a chance to be happy-” when harry suddenly turned away to avoid his gaze, Seamus cupped his face so he could looked directly into the raven haired gryffindor.
“Give it a harry. Above all of us, it’s you who truly deserved to be happy,”
“I don’t know shay. i don’t even know if felt he same,” he muttered sullenly
“Do you trust me Harry?” asked Seamus Giving him a knowing smile.
“You I do,” was Harry’s immediate response.
“Then you will believe me if I said that there might be a chance?”
Harry’s eyes went wide in disbelief. “Shay, What? How?”
“Just trust me Harry, Please? You have the entire summer to think about it,”
Harry took a deep breath. Can he really gave it a try? Does he really want to? Ofcourse Yes. With that he beamed t Seamus “Okay,”
Seamus suddenly pulled him up. “Good,” then he gestured Harry towards the portrait hole. Harry’s brow furrowed as he followed Seamus.
“Where are we going Shay?”
“I have a snake to hunt before we board on the train,” he replied with a wink to a puzzled Harry.
When he noticed Harry’s confusion, he stopped “Oh come on Harry, you can’t honestly say that Malfoy was the only one gorgeous and hot on the snake pit,”
“What? I didn’t say that. I’m just surprise that you’ll also be interested in one of the slytherins. You know, what’s with the house rivalry and all,” Harry explained.
“Well yeah, there is that. But I realized that not all slytherin are arrogant and git. I never once saw Blaise participate in insulting and fighting with the other house,” he shrugged. “I think He’s sort of neutral,”
Harry would agree to that. Even him noticed that, though Zabini was always with Draco, he never saw the dark slytherin joined to torment or insult other houses. Yes he laughed with them, but that’s just it. An idea came into his mind and he need to think through it before he made a move. He had the whole summer to plan for that, also to contemplate about what he was going to do with his feelings for Draco. So lost in his thoughts that he didn’t noticed that the said blonde was also walking ahead of them with Zabini, so he was startled when Seamus suddenly called the two slytherin.
“ZABINI! MALFOY!”
Both slytherin turned to see who was calling them, and a wicked smirk quickly graze on the dark slytherin’s lips a he recognized the Irish gryffindor and Potter. While Draco was rooted to his place. It was the first time he would face Harry again after his magical outburst and he found out what the raven gryffindor truly felt for him. On Harry’s part, he was mortified. He wasn’t ready to face the blonde just yet, but he can’t take his eyes off of him. Oh merlin! He’s really beautiful. His hypnotic silvery eyes, his soft platinum blonde hair, his smooth pale skin, and those pink kissable lips. He’s just so perfect, damn it. It was really impossible for him to like me. And that thought made his heart clenched painfully. Unaware that Draco also felt the same. Draco’s heart was also aching, he wanted to pull the raven gryffindor in his arms, hug him tight and never let him go. But he knew he can’t, and it’s killing him knowing that Harry love him too, but everything seems to be complicated.
A chuckle from their side brought them back to their senses, both quickly turned away face flushed. “Er.. Shay, I need to go to Professor Dumbledore. See you later,” Harry muttered, as he quickly ran towards the Headmasters office. Unfortunately, the headmaster wasn’t there when he arrived. He was about to leave when Fawkes suddenly flashed in front of him.
“Hello there Fawkes,” greeted Harry petting the phoenix.
“Hello little one,”
Harry was startled when he heard the phoenix respond with his soft soothing voice.
“What? How? I can hear and understand you,”
“Of Course, you’re the chosen one,”
Harry groaned,”Oh not you too Fawkes. You know I hate that title,”
“Everything will be reveal on the right time little one. For now, can you please looked into my eyes?”
Though still confused, Harry did what the phoenix asked him to do. Suddenly he felt a pull just like when he was looking in a pensieve. Then all of a sudden, countless memories flashed infront of him. Others made him sick, some made him mad, others shocked him, but the last memory made him livid and light headed at the same time. When he was finally pushed out of the memories, he sank down into his knees. His whole body was trembling in pure rage. How dare he? Oh Merlin! Snape. Sirius.
“Calm down little one. Above everything else, all you need to do now is protect your intended. The ritual will be complete when the eight month dies,”
Harry’s body tense when he was once again reminded of what the headmaster had done to Draco. “What shall I do Fawkes? Tell me please. I”ll do everything,” he pleaded.
“Very well, little one. First, he should be with his twin. As i am certain you already figured out who was she. He needs her to strengthen his magic, and second, you need to bond with him, not-”
“What? No. Wait Fawkes. How can I do that? He won’t agree with that. Hell maybe he would rather chose to die than to bond with me,”
“Oh you poor thing,” Harry glared at him, but the phoenix just chuckled. “Open your heart little one. Not everything the eyes can see is the reality. Eyes can be deceived, but the heart always lead us to the truth and our happiness,”
Harry started pacing. Thinking of what he was going to do. “Think harry, Damn it!” he muttered to himself as he raked his fingers through his messy hair.
“Now, now little one. You already know what to do, all you need is accept it, and express what you truly feel,”
He was about to respond when the door suddenly opened admitting the Headmaster. Harry tried very hard not to hexed him, and avoid eye contact.Evil bastard. You’ll pay dearly for ruining all the life you manipulated.
“Harry my boy, are you quite alright?” asked the headmaster in his usual grandfatherly tone.
Fucking fake! “Y-yes professor. I just like to ask if I can’t really spend the last part of my summer at the burrow.
Harry flinched inwardly when the headmaster laid his hand on his shoulder. “I’m sorry Harry, but you really can’t. We’re in a difficult situation now, you don’t want your friends to be in danger, don’t you?”
“Right, I understand professor,” he replied looking down hearted. “I guess i better leave now, they’re already waiting for me,” he said and quickly moved away from the headmaster.
“Off you go now. Enjoy your summer my boy,”
“Thanks,” was all he managed to say as he dashed towards the door wanting to stay away from there as quickly as possible. His vision was starting to blurred as tears streamed down his face. Family.He has his own family. The only thing he desired since he was a child. A family that was taken away from him. He vowed, from this day on. He would do everything to protect all the people he love. And Albus Dumbledore will pay dearly.
