Chapter Text
He pulled apart from Draco. His heart was either beating so fast he couldn’t feel it or had completely stopped. Draco was in shock. Harry was sure he was, too.
“Uh.”
Harry ran. He was out the door and back in the Gryffindor common room before he knew where his feet were taking him. It was too early. Ron and Hermione would wait for him in the common room, but they weren’t alone.
“Are you okay?” Hermione asked when he fell into the open chair next to them. They were playing chess. He wasn’t great at the game by any means, or even good, but from what he could tell Ron was winning.
“I’m fine.” Ron and Hermione glanced at each other before staring at Harry. “What?”
“You’re white as a sheet,” Ron replied.
Harry swallowed. “I’m tired.”
They didn’t believe him, but they were willing to let it slide given the amount of people around them. They probably thought it had something to do with Sirius Black; Sirius, who was certainly somewhere near. Not the mention that the dementors, though no longer on the school grounds, were a concern. He didn’t want to pass out again and give Draco more ammunition than he already had.
Especially now that he just kissed him out of the blue.
“I’m going to turn in early.” They did nothing to mask their concern, but Ron didn’t follow and the bedroom was empty. He didn’t get changed and instead fell into bed. There was too much to unpack. It was easier to just ignore for the time being.
He didn’t have to deal with Draco anymore. He could skirt around him in class and hope he was too embarrassed by their kiss to bring it up to anyone. He could ignore this. He would be fine.
