Wrong Time (Drarry)

8

A big dragon soared in the air, making me smile. "You did it!" I said happily, and Draco turned around hugging me. "Thank you so much Harry! I've never been able to get that spell!" Everyone around us clapped as I chuckled, hugging the blonde boy back. Silence flooded the classroom as we hugged for a second or two longer than we should've. I cleared my throat backing up, "uh anyways, yeah good job Dray. Good job all of you!" I said, and Remus smirked but continued on with the rest of his lesson without any teasing.

"Where's Teddy?" I questioned Remus curiously after class. "He's with Andromeda for the first week. He's going to come here with us." I smiled brightly hugging him, "that's so exciting!" He chuckled ruffling my hair. "I wanted to surprise you." I nodded, "well you sure did."

"Can I have a real hug now?" A voice behind me asked, I turned to Sirius. I hugged him tightly, allowing him to spin me around while I laughed. "I'm glad you're here Moony! Maybe we'll learn something." Ron said making everyone chuckle. "Like you're worried about learning Ron." He put his hands up in defense at Miones words. "Hey listen darling, I like DADA. Not my fault that literally everything else is boring." Hermione just clicked her tongue in disapproval.

"Harry we need to talk then by the way!" Hermione said making me groan, "oh what did I do now?" She glared at me, "can I not want to talk to my best friend without you believing I want to lecture you?" Me and Ron shared glances, laughing. "That would be the day for sure!" Ron said making Hermione storm out. "Way to go Ron. Remus, Sirius, I'll catch up later!" I shouted running off towards Hermione.

"Mione please let it go, I don't have feelings for him!" I said defeatedly, she'd been quizzing me on my feelings for Draco-that I didn't have-for over an hour. "Look after dinner we're all supposed to hang out and I don't want awkward tension. Please let it go." I snapped before I could allow her to speak again. Ron put a hand on her shoulder, "he's asked twice now." She nodded, "you're right I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed."

I smiled and sighed, hugging her. "It's alright, I just don't want people getting the wrong idea. We just became friends you know what I mean?" She nodded, "yes I understand Harry, I'm sorry really." She hugged me a bit tighter. "May I ask how your nightmares have been?" I shrugged, "they've been there, that's for sure."She chuckled sadly, giving me a look of pity. Ron saved me changing the subject, "well I think it's about time we head down for dinner. I'm-"

"Starving. We know." Me and Hermione said at the same time. We all laughed as Ron rolled his eyes, "let's go, pricks." We all chuckled again making our way out of the common room. We headed towards the great hall. "Harry!" I heard a familiar voice call. "Hello Liv. How are you?" She beamed at me, "I'm alright! How are you?" I just nodded in response smiling at the girl.

"Guess what?" She asked loudly making me chuckle. "I made slytherin seeker! Will you practice with me sometime?" I smiled brightly, ruffling her hair, "that's amazing Liv! Yes I'd love to practice with you. We can play a seekers match sometime." She jumped up and down in excitement, "that would be brilliant, okay I will leave you be now! Tell Dragon- I mean Draco I said hello!" She blushed at her nickname slip up and skipped off.

"I can't believe Snape is raising her." Ron said with a wide eyed expression. "I can, Snape is a good man. He just took a long time to get over a few things." Hermione chuckled, "Harry you think everyone's a good man, I'm surprised you didn't try to rationalize with Voldemort." This got Ron laughed and I just shook my head. "The man who murdered my parents didn't deserve fucking sympathy. Normal fucking people do." I didn't mean to snap really, but it just happened sometimes.

I knew I was too nice, I knew I gave too many chances, and I knew I trusted people too easily but that's just how I was. That's who I am, 'the golden boy' remember? I rolled my eyes and walked up in-front of Ron and Hermione. "Just give him a few minutes." I heard Ron whisper. I sighed, I felt bad really. I was very self aware of the fact that I was a ticking time bomb, but I couldn't control it at the same time.
