Big Brother... Harry Potter Style
Disclaimer - I don’t own Harry Potter or Big Brother, they belong to JK Rowling and um… I think Big Brother belongs to George Orwell… but seeing as I have been told that they don’t then I’ll be buggered if I know who does then.
Day Twelve (Tuesday)
Day Twelve in the Big Brother house.
Eight Fifty-Eight AM. Harry spent the night in the Living Area last night. This morning he woke up and went straight to the Diary Room.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
“Hello Harry.”
“Hello Big Brother.”
“What can I do for you today Harry?”
“Um… well I know for a fact that you saw what happened last night. I’m in here hiding.”
“Why are you hiding?”
“Because Draco clearly didn’t mean to kiss me, so I’m hiding from him to save him from embarrassment. Also do you think that you could change over the people in the Sides yet?”
“Sorry Harry, but currently the positions held in the two different sides of the house are permanent until further notice.”
“Oh damn. Okay then.”
“Would you like to talk about the main reason that you are in here?”
“Not really. I just don’t know what to do?”
“Have you talked to Draco about it?”
“No.”
“Do you think you should ask him about what he thinks of this?”
“Probably, but that doesn’t mean I want to however.”
“What do you feel about it?”
“I don’t know. I am so confused. Part of me is crying out in joy, this is what I have wanted and have waited for, for quite some time. On the other hand, I can’t help but wonder what my friends must think and how they reacted. I know Seamus wouldn’t mind or Lavender for that fact, but everyone outside of the Big Brother house would be cursing my name.”
“Does it matter to you what they think?”
“No… yes… maybe… I don’t know. I’d like to think not, but in reality I know that it would hurt my feelings if they were to turn their backs on me.”
“Have you considered talking to Seamus or Lavender about it?”
“Yes. Well Seamus anyway, but I think that Draco might be upset with me for telling someone what happened. I don’t know what to do!” Harry cried out eventually, leaning forward and placing his head into his hands, grasping at his hair in frustration.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Nine oh Five AM. The sound of church bells has been playing through the house now for five minutes. Draco and Justin are both awake, and lying in their beds in silence. The housemates on the Rich Side are once again unaffected by the alarm.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Draco lay in his bed, staring up at the ceiling and wishing that… well he was wishing a great many things but mostly he was wishing that the damned bells would shut up and let him get back to his self-loathing and pitying in silence.
Sitting up in his bed and glaring at the nearest camera he could see. Getting out of bed with a large sigh, he quickly and unconsciously glanced over at Harry’s empty bed and felt an unknown pang in his chest when he saw that it was unslept in.
Quickly making his way to the bathroom, shooting a glare at the peacefully sleeping housemates on the Rich Side. He ran through his normal routine as though on autopilot as he thought about what he had done last night and what he was going to do about it today. He had decided on taking the Slytherin way out of it and pretending it had never happened, avoiding Harry like the plague in the mean time.
Walking back out of the bathroom and changing quickly into some clean clothes, and then walking into the kitchen, looking around discreetly for Harry or at least some sort of sign of the self claimed Slythindor. Not seeing him anywhere, he frowned, before his eye was caught by the Diary Room and he sighed, deciding to make breakfast for himself and hope that he didn’t ruin it.
He decided that he would have a go at making a bacon sandwich. If all went wrong then surely he could just put it out with water or something. And how hard was making bacon anyway? Surely you just put it in a pan and then watched as it sizzled, then you could put it on some bread and eat it.
Taking out the bread and bacon, he grabbed a pan from above the cooker and then placed it on the hob, placing a couple of rashers of bacon in the pan and then left it for a bit. It could surely look after itself. He had to do other things. Hmm. Egg sounded like a good idea. He could just put it in the same pan as the bacon. Draco opened the fridge again, shoved the bacon back in and took out an egg and two sausages as an after thought.
Cracking open an egg into the pan and then placing both the sausages into the pan as well, he prodded the bacon with a fork, frowning at the fact that it looked like it was cooking on one side but not the other. Shrugging, he left it, figuring that maybe he just had to wait. He hoped that the sausages would cook quickly as well. Or course he wasn’t entirely too sure what he was going to do with the sausages, seeing as they didn’t exactly go with the sandwich. Ah well, he’d just eat them without the bread, Draco thought, placing the bread back in the bread bin.
Behind him he heard the door to the Diary Room open and then a small gasp. Ignoring and pretending that he hadn’t just heard Harry leave the Diary Room, he looked in his pan and frowned in confusion and the small puffs of black smoke coming from the bacon. He was also a wee bit confused as to why the sausages didn’t seem to be doing anything and the eggs were well… they didn’t really seem to be doing much, and had bits of shell in it. Surely he didn’t actually have to do anything other than watch them?
“What are you attempting at cooking?” Harry asked, looking over Draco’s shoulder and making Draco jump slightly, not having heard Harry come closer to him.
“Huh? Oh, I’m making Bacon, sausages and egg.”
“You’re burning the bacon. You might want to flip them over, and also um, well you have a bit of shell in the egg and the sausages are never going to cook in time on this heat.”
“You can change the heat?”
“Er… yeah. Good lord you really haven’t ever cooked before have you?”
“Well no! I actually had house elves and didn’t live in some Muggle back water.” Draco snapped, sneering at Harry who glared right back, shrugged and then walked off. “Potter! Where the hell do you think you are going? Come back here and finish my breakfast!”
“Why the bloody hell should I? You haven’t exactly given me an incentive!”
“Well why should I give you an incentive? You should bloody just cook for me anyway!”
“Who says? I’m not one of your damned house elves!”
“I know you’re not! You wouldn’t be back chatting me if you were!”
“And you wouldn’t have kissed me if I was!” Harry yelled back, immediately regretting his words and regretting them even more when he heard a gasp coming from the door leading out to the garden. Closing his eyes and turning round, he opened them and wished he hadn’t when he saw Justin standing there looking at the now very embarrassed Harry and the infuriated Draco.
“What the hell did you say that for?! You can’t bloody keep your mouth shut can you! It was a bloody mistake but you don’t think that do you?! You think you’re so great that I meant it! Well you’re wrong!” Draco screamed, part of him immediately regretting it, but too angry to care the moment. Harry felt as though someone had grabbed his heart and ripped it out of his chest, but he just stared at Draco impassively, before spinning on his heel and walking out of the kitchen to the garden.
He couldn’t believe Draco had said that, in front of Justin as well. Well he wasn’t going to let it bother him. Draco could go throw himself in the lake for all he cared. He was no longer going to let Draco into his heart and that meant going back to how they were like last year in Hogwarts, before the demise of Voldemort. Seamus and Blaise would probably scream at him for this decision, but he didn’t care. Draco had made his bed, he could bloody well lie in it now.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Eleven Oh Nine AM. All of the housemates are now awake and Blaise, Seamus and Harry are all sitting in the bedroom, discussing the earlier incident between Draco and Harry.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
“So go back a second. He kissed you and then told you that he didn’t mean it. You took offence and now you two are acting like you did at the beginning of last year?” Blaise asked, looking at Seamus helplessly when Harry nodded, looking out of the window to where Draco was standing in the Garden, talking and laughing with Terry, with a hurt expression on his face.
“What are you going to do?”
“What can I do? He said he regretted it. He didn’t look like he was lying. He regrets kissing me and well… there’s nothing I can do about it.” Harry said, tearing his gaze away from Harry and looking down at the sheet on his bed, picking at a loose thread.
“But maybe he did lie! Maybe he did want to kiss you but he didn’t want to admit it in front of Justin.” Seamus said, trying to comfort his best friend, but not really believing what he was telling him. Of course, Draco Malfoy was going to pay, the snot-nosed little brat.
“Yeah maybe. But you should have seen his face, he was deadly serious and he honestly looked like he wanted to kill me.”
“But I know Draco and he does like you. I really don’t know why he said what he did.” Blaise said, running his hands through his hair and tugging on it.
“Maybe you read him wrong. Maybe he really didn’t mean to, maybe it was a spur of the moment thing.”
“Oh Harry, you don’t actually believe that do you?” Blaise said, moving away from his bed and walking over to the bars, leaning against them and sliding to the floor, so that his back was resting against Harry’s. Seamus looked at them and then moved to join them, looking at Harry with sympathy shining in his eyes.
“What do you want me to believe? That Draco Malfoy, renowned enemy of Harry Potter, that’s me by the way, just in case you had forgotten, actually does like me and it wasn’t a mistake? Well I’m finding that a tweak far fetched and the fact that he is outside right know, making chummy with Terry bloody Boot, doesn’t fill me with confidence either.” Harry grumbled, pulling his knees up to his chest and hugging them, resting his forehead on them and closing his eyes.
“I have no idea what Draco is playing at with Terry. He hates the Ravenclaw, for what he has done to you so far and for everything he has said about Draco as well.”
“Well I don’t know what to tell you, but look out the window and there they are… Kissing!” Harry said in a pained voice, having glanced over at the pair absently and now not being able to tear his eyes away from the horrifying scene. Kind of like a car wreck, Harry mused absently in the back of his mind.
“What! Oh god, Draco what are you playing at?” Blaise muttered, shaking his head and wondering what had gotten into his best friend. He looked back at Harry only to see him standing up, completely distraught and then hurrying outside, brushing past Draco, who pulled away from Terry and watched Harry run to the Diary Room, feeling a brief twinge of guilt, before turning back to Terry and smirking flirtatiously.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Harry stormed into the Diary Room, ignoring the calls from Padma and Lavender asking if he is alright and letting the door slam behind him. He sat down in the chair and rubbed furiously at his eyes, not allowing himself to cry.
“Hello Harry.”
“Hey Big Brother.” Harry said, voice thick from holding in his tears.
“What can Big Brother do for you Harry?”
“Nothing, I just want to stay in here for a while. There isn’t anything else you can do, except allow me to either leave this house altogether or move to the Rich Side. Actually no, move Draco to the Rich side.” Harry said, looking upwards in a desperate attempt to keep back the tears, a task which he was currently failing at miserably if the tear tracks running down his face were anything to go by.
“Big Brother regrets to inform you that that is not possible. What has Draco done to cause this reaction?”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘WHAT HAS DRACO DONE?’? YOU HAVE CAMERAS! TAKE A GOD DAMNED LOOK!” Harry yelled, being heard even from those in the kitchen, he was that loud.
“What can Big Brother do for you?”
“Let me leave this house.”
“If that is your decision then you may leave, go and collect your bags and leave from the door in the Diary Room.”
“Thank you.” Harry said, part of him not entirely sure with his decision.
He walked out of the Diary Room, heading straight back to the bedroom, looking down at the floor and completely ignoring the now blatantly flirting Draco and Terry.
“Hey Harry, are you okay?” Seamus asked, walking over to the bars and leaning against them
“Yeah.” Harry muttered, packing his suitcase and not looking behind him so that he didn’t have to see the expressions on his friends faces when they realised what he was doing.
“Harry? What are you doing?” Blaise asked tentatively, walking over to stand next to Seamus and looking at Harry through the bars.
“What does it look like I am doing?”
“Packing. But there is no reason for you to be packing is there. I mean why would you be doing that. It’s not like you are leaving the house.” Seamus said, laughing weakly at the end.
“That is exactly what I am doing Shea. Sorry, but I can’t live in this house with them. Especially when they are playing Happy fucking Families.” Harry said, throwing the last of his clothes into his suitcase and closing it, before standing again and walking out of the bedroom, dragging his suitcase behind him.
Seamus and Blaise looked at each other and then quickly ran to follow Harry through the house.
“Harry! You don’t want to do this really! You’re making a mistake!” Seamus cried out, getting the attention of the housemates in the garden, including Draco and Terry, who both looked at Harry with some dawning comprehension on their faces.
“So you’re leaving are you Potter? Good riddance.” Draco said, feeling the knife twist in his stomach again, but ignoring it. This was for the best.
“Yes Malfoy. I ma sure that is going to please you. I’m going to leave this house, finish my NEWTS, hopefully early and then leave the wizarding world forever. So don’t worry, you will be rid of me forever.” Harry said through gritted teeth, dragging his suitcase past the two and then into the house. Blaise and Seamus watching on helplessly.
“I don’t know what the fuck you are playing at Malfoy, and frankly I don’t care, but if Harry leaves this house today, then Merlin help you, because I will make you life a living hell.” Seamus whispered, leaning through the bars and glaring at an admittedly shocked Draco.
“I am going to have to agree with him D. You have made me ashamed to admit to being your friend. Harry saved your life and this is how to repay him? By stamping on his heart and forcing him to leave the wizarding world. I knew you were slightly callous, but I didn’t think you were the cold hearted bastard that everyone painted you as.”
“Blaise! What the hell has Potter been telling you!” Draco cried, not noticing what was going on in the main house.
“He has told me exactly what you did last night and this morning. I know for a Merlin Damned fact that you have feelings for him, but as soon as you played on those feelings and it looked as though Harry would reciprocate, you ran scared!”
“He lied!”
“He did not! And now, because of you he is leaving! You fucking bastard!” Blaise screamed, getting the attention of Mandy and Daphne, who wandered over from their bench and looked between the arguing best friends.
“What’s going on?”
“Harry’s leaving.”
“What! Why?” Mandy exclaimed, looking towards the Main House but waiting for an explanation.
“Because Draco fucking wrecked his life is why!” Seamus yelled, struggling through the bars to reach Draco and throttle him.
“I did not wreck his fucking life, you bloody Hufflepuff! He says he’s a Slytherin at heart but he acts like a Gryffindor all the time!”
“Er… shouldn’t we be stopping him as opposed to arguing outside here?” Daphne asked tentatively, looking towards the Main House nervously and nibbling on her lower lip.
“Oh crap. Come on!” Seamus said, registering what Daphne had said and then moving away from the bars and running into the house, closely followed by everyone else.
What met them, was Harry, being held back by Justin, as Lavender and Padma tearfully pleaded with his Gryffindor side, not to leave, Susan patting them both on the back comfortingly, whilst looking at Harry half accusingly and half pleading.
“Fine! I’ll bloody stay! Will you just stop crying!” Harry said, partly thankful for being given a reason to back out.
“Yes! I knew that would work!” Lavender said, tears mysteriously vanishing and jumping up, high-fiving Padma, who was also suspiciously dry-eyed.
“You tricked me!” Harry exclaimed, looking at the two girls accusingly.
“Yup, but you have told us that you are staying now, so no changing your mind. Best go back and unpack then mister.” Lavender said, giving Harry a glare that was very reminiscent of Professor McGonagall and making Harry shudder at the underlying threat of what would happen to him were he to change his mind and leave.
“Fine fine. But don’t expect me to forgive you any time soon.” Harry muttered under his breath, turning around and dragging his suitcase back to the bedroom. As he left he heard Seamus mutter to the girls.
“Well done you two, couldn’t have done better meself.”
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Three Fifteen PM. All the housemates have been called into the Living Area for the announcement of who will be up for eviction this week.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
“Housemates, This is Big Brother. The housemates up for nomination this week are…” everyone looked around at each other, nervous as to whether it would be them or not this week.
“I wish they would just tell us the names and get it over with. This waiting part is the worst.” Seamus muttered, getting nods of agreement form all those who heard him,.
“Blaise. And…”
“What!? Why would anyone want to nominate you? You’re pretty much the peace keeper of this house!” Seamus exclaimed, not noticing the guilty looks form the ones who voted for said Slytherin.
“Well I did wonder when I would be up for eviction, must admit, I did think I would be up in the first week. But still, week two, not so bad!” Blaise said, placing a falsely cheerful smile on his face.
“Justin.”
“Why Justin?”
“Is that all?”
“Are there only two up this week then?”
“And…”
“Nope, looks like there could be one or so more.” Harry commented, feeling an unusual flutter in his stomach at the realisation that it wasn’t him again. He didn’t know whether to feel gratitude or confusion.
“Terry. Housemates are now free to leave the Living Area.”
“Ooh tough break Boot.” Seamus said snidely, looking at Terry and smirking.
“Ignore him Terry.” Draco muttered, still playing the coupley roll with the Ravenclaw, and trying to calm him down when he looked like he would attack Seamus. Of course, if he did decide to attack him, then Draco would have been the last person to be available to help, seeing that there were large metal bars in the way.
“I can’t believe I am up for eviction again!” Terry bemoaned, resting his forehead against Draco’s through the bars and making Harry sneer at them, feeling physically sick.
“Blaise, are you okay?” Harry asked, standing up and moving to the bars to sit next to Seamus and Blaise.
“Yeah, it’s all cool. I’ve never been up for eviction! It’s kind of liberating!” Blaise said, smiling and making Harry look at him strangely.
“Yeah. Of course it is only the second week and so not many of us have been up for eviction.” Seamus pointed out, making Blaise look contemplative.
“Hey Justin! Come join us! Tell us what you feel being up for eviction for the first time!” Blaise yelled, making the Hufflepuff jump and then walk over to them and sit down next to Harry.
“I don’t know. I expected to feel upset, but I don’t. Part of me really wants to leave anyway because I miss everyone in Hufflepuff, but then another part of me really doesn’t want to leave because if I hadn’t come in here, then I would have never made some of the friends I have now.”
“I know what you mean my friend, I know what you mean.” Blaise said, nodding sagely and ignoring the snickering coming from Harry and Seamus.
“What are you two talking about? It had better be Terry that leaves this house!” Seamus said, not even bothering keeping his voice down.
“What! What did you say? Why the hell should he leave?” Draco asked, standing up and moving over to stand near Seamus.
“Er… let me see. Why should Terry leave?” By this point, Blaise and Harry were snickering, Justin was watching silently, and Padma and Lavender had walked over. Mandy, Daphne and Susan were watching from the opposite side of the room, occasionally muttering something between themselves.
“That is what I asked Finnegan.” Draco growled, moving closer to the bars and so Seamus. Harry stopped snickering and watched Draco warily, wondering what he was attempting to do, then glanced at a suspiciously quiet Terry, who was watching the interaction between the two curiously.
“I know, I was just thinking about the answer before I gave you one. So, I think the answer is, he is a whiny brat, he doesn’t participate in anything, he doesn’t contribute to the house, he is arrogant, he sucks up to you and no one here actually likes him.” Seamus finished, ignoring the fact that Draco was now glaring at him, grinding his teeth together.
“Shut your mouth Finnegan. You don’t know what you are talking about.”
“I do actually. You only like Terry at the moment because you are using him.”
“What?” Draco exclaimed, glaring at Seamus dangerously.
“You are using him to get back at Harry, for some unknown reason. Whatever your problem is, you had better get over it and soon, or Terry won’t be the only unpopular one in this house. You are only popular in this house right now because of your, now extinct, relationship with Harry. You better rethink your decisions of late, because they are not the way to go to win this.” Seamus stated, standing up and walking up to Draco.
“I don’t know what you are talking about Finnegan.”
“You know exactly what I am talking about. You either used Harry to get at Terry, or you are using Terry. It is one or the other because you were awfully chummy with Harry and then straight away with Terry.” Seamus pointed out, making Draco gape at him speechless and Harry go bright red as the rest of the housemates attention was now on him and Draco.
“What actually did happen between you two to make you hate each other so much?” Lavender asked, frowning in confusion and making even Mandy, Daphne and Susan look up in interest and then move closer.
“Nothing happened! Harry lied this morning and it pissed me off.” Draco said, glaring at Harry and making Harry glare right back.
“I wasn’t the one in denial this morning Malfoy. That was you.”
“I didn’t deny anything!”
“Oh no. I’m sorry, but ‘It meant nothing’ sounds an awful lot like denial to me.”
“It did mean nothing! It’s not my fault that you’re deluded!”
“I’m not the deluded one! You have feelings for me, and when you acted upon them, then you panicked and backed away! You are heartless Draco Malfoy and personally I believe that you aren’t even capable of love. And to answer your question form last night. No I wouldn’t go out with him and yes I am leaving the Wizarding World once I have my NEWTs. You will not be the reason to keep me here!” With that, Harry spun on his heel and stormed out of the room, leaving everyone else in a shocked silence.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Six Oh Nine PM. Lavender, Padma and Susan are all sitting in the Garden discussing what has happened between Draco and Harry.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
“Okay, so does anyone know what happened between Draco and Harry last night?” Padma asked, looking at Lavender for the answer.
“Okay, seeing as you already know that I know. Apparently, according to Seamus, Draco kissed Harry and then ran away. That was all he would tell me though.” Lavender added, getting a disappointed look from Padma in the process.
“I know what happened this morning.” Susan admitted quietly, making Padma and Lavender look over at her in shock.
“What? What happened?” Lavender and Padma asked simultaneously.
“Well, Justin said that when he walked into the Kitchen this morning, Draco and Harry were having an argument about something. He walked in just in time to hear Harry yell that Draco kissed him.”
“We already knew that though, surely they aren’t upset about that?”
“No. After he said that, they both noticed Justin and apparently Draco went crazy and completely denied it, saying that he never meant it and that it was mistake or something.”
“What a wanker.” Lavender said, pretty much summing up what the other two were thinking (and all you lovely readers probably) and making them nod in agreement.
“I can’t believe he did that to Harry. Now what are we going to do? We can’t exactly get them together like this? They hate each other!” Padma exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air in exasperation and then looking away towards where Harry was sitting talking to Seamus and Blaise.
“The really bad thing is that they are basically trapped in that side of the house now for quite a while.”
“I know. Sadly I don’t think Harry and Draco are ever going to get together now. Draco has pretty much blown that.” Lavender said with a sigh, and the other two girls couldn’t help but agree.
“What is he doing with Terry though?”
“I don’t know. They are both pretty much using each other, both the get at Harry as well.” Padma pointed out.
“Yup. I see where you are coming from with that one. But it isn’t fair to Harry. He had a point you know, what he said earlier.”
“What do you mean Lav?” Susan asked, looking at her in confusion.
“Draco doesn’t know how to love and he ran scared when he felt something odd for Harry.”
“So what is he doing with Terry?”
“Using him to get to Harry. He is angry with Harry for spilling the beans as the muggles would say. I think he is also angry with himself, but he is projecting that hatred onto Harry as well.” Padma said, making Lavender and Susan look at her in shock.
“How did you come up with all of that?”
“I’m a Ravenclaw my dear, when we run out of library books to read, we read Muggle books. I happened to read into Muggle psychology. Really interesting. I could bring on a whole different meaning into this if I was to think like a Muggle psychiatrist called Freud, but I don’t think I will.” Padma added, making Lavender and Susan look vaguely upset and disappointed.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Harry, Seamus and Blaise are all in the Living area, talking about Draco and Terry.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
“Don’t leave the Wizarding world because of what Draco did to you Harry. Please.”
“I wasn’t going because of Draco. I was going to leave in the first place because there isn’t anything here for me anymore. You all got it into your heads that I would stay for Draco and well, today’s events have pissed all over those fireworks.”
“They did? How did that happen? Hang on. What fire works?” Blaise asked confused. Harry looked at him as though trying to see if he was kidding or not and then shook his head in exasperation.
“Nothing Blaise. It was just a figure of speech. Forget it even said it. The point is, I will be leaving the wizarding world because I really don’t have anything keeping me here.”
“What about me? And Seamus?”
“You two can come and visit me, or even stay with me for a while if you wish. I’m not going to just disappear. I just want to live away from being the Boy Who Lived. Away from all the admirers and gossipers.”
“But I don’t know anything about the Muggle world! I can’t live there! I would hate it! Why are you going to be so selfish!” Blaise exclaimed, looking kind of helpless and frazzled.
“I agree with Blaise. You are being kind of selfish, but I also think you deserve to be selfish. I think so many people have asked so much of you and never given you anything back that you should do what you want form now on and no one should ever complain.” Seamus said, making Harry look at him with gratitude.
“Thanks. You know, you two will always be welcome and I will still visit you as well. Blaise, don’t feel like I’m abandoning you or anything.” Harry said, smiling kindly at Blaise and shuffling closer to him to put his arm through the bars to pat Blaise’s arm.
“But I will be left here alone!”
“No you won’t you will still have Seamus and Draco.”
“But D’s changed! He’s gone really mean and selfish again.”
“He’ll settle down again and go back to normal eventually. The Big Brother house changes everyone and no one acts like they normally would.” Harry said trying to reassure Blaise, who now seemed to be really quite upset.
“Maybe. I suppose you’re right.”
“Of course he’s right! He’s Harry Potter!” Seamus exclaimed, making Blaise smile weakly and Harry blush slightly. “But he is also right about me you know. I’ll be there for you as well, so you won’t be alone.”
“Thanks Shea.”
“Calling him Shea huh? You two have gotten cozy?” Harry teased, making the other two blush furiously.
“Nothing’s happened?” Seamus denied quickly, making Harry’s grin widen.
“Did I say anything had? I was just commenting. I mean I know when I started to call you Shea.” Harry said with a small leer, making Seamus blush furiously.
“When did you start to call him Shea?”
“It doesn’t matter. Ignore him.” Seamus said quickly, making Blaise look between the two curiously and then nod, agreeing to drop the subject.
“So what do you think will happen between you and Draco now then?”
“Nothing. We will just go back to either ignoring each other or sniping at each other. Maybe one day things will go back to the way they were last week, but I doubt it.” Harry admitted, making Seamus and Blaise look at him in sympathy, mentally cursing Draco for ruining everything.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Poll Week 2 NominationsPlease review and leave your vote… and maybe a couple of comments.
A/N - Okey choke then. Looks like things between Harry and Draco have just gotten worse. The thing with Terry, well I didn’t even plan that one and so it even shocked me when I wrote it! Lol! Really though, most of what Padma said was true and so maybe Draco, Terry and Harry will realise that and things will be back to normal again. Oh how I love creating love triangles! They are so much fun and make the ones involved so miserable (well besides Terry by the look of things!)
So anyway yeah, please Review to tell me what you think and to tell me who you want out. You can choose any of the three above, none of them are immune to voting, so vote away! Thank you!!!
Day Twelve (Tuesday)
Day Twelve in the Big Brother house.
Eight Fifty-Eight AM. Harry spent the night in the Living Area last night. This morning he woke up and went straight to the Diary Room.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
“Hello Harry.”
“Hello Big Brother.”
“What can I do for you today Harry?”
“Um… well I know for a fact that you saw what happened last night. I’m in here hiding.”
“Why are you hiding?”
“Because Draco clearly didn’t mean to kiss me, so I’m hiding from him to save him from embarrassment. Also do you think that you could change over the people in the Sides yet?”
“Sorry Harry, but currently the positions held in the two different sides of the house are permanent until further notice.”
“Oh damn. Okay then.”
“Would you like to talk about the main reason that you are in here?”
“Not really. I just don’t know what to do?”
“Have you talked to Draco about it?”
“No.”
“Do you think you should ask him about what he thinks of this?”
“Probably, but that doesn’t mean I want to however.”
“What do you feel about it?”
“I don’t know. I am so confused. Part of me is crying out in joy, this is what I have wanted and have waited for, for quite some time. On the other hand, I can’t help but wonder what my friends must think and how they reacted. I know Seamus wouldn’t mind or Lavender for that fact, but everyone outside of the Big Brother house would be cursing my name.”
“Does it matter to you what they think?”
“No… yes… maybe… I don’t know. I’d like to think not, but in reality I know that it would hurt my feelings if they were to turn their backs on me.”
“Have you considered talking to Seamus or Lavender about it?”
“Yes. Well Seamus anyway, but I think that Draco might be upset with me for telling someone what happened. I don’t know what to do!” Harry cried out eventually, leaning forward and placing his head into his hands, grasping at his hair in frustration.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Nine oh Five AM. The sound of church bells has been playing through the house now for five minutes. Draco and Justin are both awake, and lying in their beds in silence. The housemates on the Rich Side are once again unaffected by the alarm.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Draco lay in his bed, staring up at the ceiling and wishing that… well he was wishing a great many things but mostly he was wishing that the damned bells would shut up and let him get back to his self-loathing and pitying in silence.
Sitting up in his bed and glaring at the nearest camera he could see. Getting out of bed with a large sigh, he quickly and unconsciously glanced over at Harry’s empty bed and felt an unknown pang in his chest when he saw that it was unslept in.
Quickly making his way to the bathroom, shooting a glare at the peacefully sleeping housemates on the Rich Side. He ran through his normal routine as though on autopilot as he thought about what he had done last night and what he was going to do about it today. He had decided on taking the Slytherin way out of it and pretending it had never happened, avoiding Harry like the plague in the mean time.
Walking back out of the bathroom and changing quickly into some clean clothes, and then walking into the kitchen, looking around discreetly for Harry or at least some sort of sign of the self claimed Slythindor. Not seeing him anywhere, he frowned, before his eye was caught by the Diary Room and he sighed, deciding to make breakfast for himself and hope that he didn’t ruin it.
He decided that he would have a go at making a bacon sandwich. If all went wrong then surely he could just put it out with water or something. And how hard was making bacon anyway? Surely you just put it in a pan and then watched as it sizzled, then you could put it on some bread and eat it.
Taking out the bread and bacon, he grabbed a pan from above the cooker and then placed it on the hob, placing a couple of rashers of bacon in the pan and then left it for a bit. It could surely look after itself. He had to do other things. Hmm. Egg sounded like a good idea. He could just put it in the same pan as the bacon. Draco opened the fridge again, shoved the bacon back in and took out an egg and two sausages as an after thought.
Cracking open an egg into the pan and then placing both the sausages into the pan as well, he prodded the bacon with a fork, frowning at the fact that it looked like it was cooking on one side but not the other. Shrugging, he left it, figuring that maybe he just had to wait. He hoped that the sausages would cook quickly as well. Or course he wasn’t entirely too sure what he was going to do with the sausages, seeing as they didn’t exactly go with the sandwich. Ah well, he’d just eat them without the bread, Draco thought, placing the bread back in the bread bin.
Behind him he heard the door to the Diary Room open and then a small gasp. Ignoring and pretending that he hadn’t just heard Harry leave the Diary Room, he looked in his pan and frowned in confusion and the small puffs of black smoke coming from the bacon. He was also a wee bit confused as to why the sausages didn’t seem to be doing anything and the eggs were well… they didn’t really seem to be doing much, and had bits of shell in it. Surely he didn’t actually have to do anything other than watch them?
“What are you attempting at cooking?” Harry asked, looking over Draco’s shoulder and making Draco jump slightly, not having heard Harry come closer to him.
“Huh? Oh, I’m making Bacon, sausages and egg.”
“You’re burning the bacon. You might want to flip them over, and also um, well you have a bit of shell in the egg and the sausages are never going to cook in time on this heat.”
“You can change the heat?”
“Er… yeah. Good lord you really haven’t ever cooked before have you?”
“Well no! I actually had house elves and didn’t live in some Muggle back water.” Draco snapped, sneering at Harry who glared right back, shrugged and then walked off. “Potter! Where the hell do you think you are going? Come back here and finish my breakfast!”
“Why the bloody hell should I? You haven’t exactly given me an incentive!”
“Well why should I give you an incentive? You should bloody just cook for me anyway!”
“Who says? I’m not one of your damned house elves!”
“I know you’re not! You wouldn’t be back chatting me if you were!”
“And you wouldn’t have kissed me if I was!” Harry yelled back, immediately regretting his words and regretting them even more when he heard a gasp coming from the door leading out to the garden. Closing his eyes and turning round, he opened them and wished he hadn’t when he saw Justin standing there looking at the now very embarrassed Harry and the infuriated Draco.
“What the hell did you say that for?! You can’t bloody keep your mouth shut can you! It was a bloody mistake but you don’t think that do you?! You think you’re so great that I meant it! Well you’re wrong!” Draco screamed, part of him immediately regretting it, but too angry to care the moment. Harry felt as though someone had grabbed his heart and ripped it out of his chest, but he just stared at Draco impassively, before spinning on his heel and walking out of the kitchen to the garden.
He couldn’t believe Draco had said that, in front of Justin as well. Well he wasn’t going to let it bother him. Draco could go throw himself in the lake for all he cared. He was no longer going to let Draco into his heart and that meant going back to how they were like last year in Hogwarts, before the demise of Voldemort. Seamus and Blaise would probably scream at him for this decision, but he didn’t care. Draco had made his bed, he could bloody well lie in it now.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Eleven Oh Nine AM. All of the housemates are now awake and Blaise, Seamus and Harry are all sitting in the bedroom, discussing the earlier incident between Draco and Harry.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
“So go back a second. He kissed you and then told you that he didn’t mean it. You took offence and now you two are acting like you did at the beginning of last year?” Blaise asked, looking at Seamus helplessly when Harry nodded, looking out of the window to where Draco was standing in the Garden, talking and laughing with Terry, with a hurt expression on his face.
“What are you going to do?”
“What can I do? He said he regretted it. He didn’t look like he was lying. He regrets kissing me and well… there’s nothing I can do about it.” Harry said, tearing his gaze away from Harry and looking down at the sheet on his bed, picking at a loose thread.
“But maybe he did lie! Maybe he did want to kiss you but he didn’t want to admit it in front of Justin.” Seamus said, trying to comfort his best friend, but not really believing what he was telling him. Of course, Draco Malfoy was going to pay, the snot-nosed little brat.
“Yeah maybe. But you should have seen his face, he was deadly serious and he honestly looked like he wanted to kill me.”
“But I know Draco and he does like you. I really don’t know why he said what he did.” Blaise said, running his hands through his hair and tugging on it.
“Maybe you read him wrong. Maybe he really didn’t mean to, maybe it was a spur of the moment thing.”
“Oh Harry, you don’t actually believe that do you?” Blaise said, moving away from his bed and walking over to the bars, leaning against them and sliding to the floor, so that his back was resting against Harry’s. Seamus looked at them and then moved to join them, looking at Harry with sympathy shining in his eyes.
“What do you want me to believe? That Draco Malfoy, renowned enemy of Harry Potter, that’s me by the way, just in case you had forgotten, actually does like me and it wasn’t a mistake? Well I’m finding that a tweak far fetched and the fact that he is outside right know, making chummy with Terry bloody Boot, doesn’t fill me with confidence either.” Harry grumbled, pulling his knees up to his chest and hugging them, resting his forehead on them and closing his eyes.
“I have no idea what Draco is playing at with Terry. He hates the Ravenclaw, for what he has done to you so far and for everything he has said about Draco as well.”
“Well I don’t know what to tell you, but look out the window and there they are… Kissing!” Harry said in a pained voice, having glanced over at the pair absently and now not being able to tear his eyes away from the horrifying scene. Kind of like a car wreck, Harry mused absently in the back of his mind.
“What! Oh god, Draco what are you playing at?” Blaise muttered, shaking his head and wondering what had gotten into his best friend. He looked back at Harry only to see him standing up, completely distraught and then hurrying outside, brushing past Draco, who pulled away from Terry and watched Harry run to the Diary Room, feeling a brief twinge of guilt, before turning back to Terry and smirking flirtatiously.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Harry stormed into the Diary Room, ignoring the calls from Padma and Lavender asking if he is alright and letting the door slam behind him. He sat down in the chair and rubbed furiously at his eyes, not allowing himself to cry.
“Hello Harry.”
“Hey Big Brother.” Harry said, voice thick from holding in his tears.
“What can Big Brother do for you Harry?”
“Nothing, I just want to stay in here for a while. There isn’t anything else you can do, except allow me to either leave this house altogether or move to the Rich Side. Actually no, move Draco to the Rich side.” Harry said, looking upwards in a desperate attempt to keep back the tears, a task which he was currently failing at miserably if the tear tracks running down his face were anything to go by.
“Big Brother regrets to inform you that that is not possible. What has Draco done to cause this reaction?”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘WHAT HAS DRACO DONE?’? YOU HAVE CAMERAS! TAKE A GOD DAMNED LOOK!” Harry yelled, being heard even from those in the kitchen, he was that loud.
“What can Big Brother do for you?”
“Let me leave this house.”
“If that is your decision then you may leave, go and collect your bags and leave from the door in the Diary Room.”
“Thank you.” Harry said, part of him not entirely sure with his decision.
He walked out of the Diary Room, heading straight back to the bedroom, looking down at the floor and completely ignoring the now blatantly flirting Draco and Terry.
“Hey Harry, are you okay?” Seamus asked, walking over to the bars and leaning against them
“Yeah.” Harry muttered, packing his suitcase and not looking behind him so that he didn’t have to see the expressions on his friends faces when they realised what he was doing.
“Harry? What are you doing?” Blaise asked tentatively, walking over to stand next to Seamus and looking at Harry through the bars.
“What does it look like I am doing?”
“Packing. But there is no reason for you to be packing is there. I mean why would you be doing that. It’s not like you are leaving the house.” Seamus said, laughing weakly at the end.
“That is exactly what I am doing Shea. Sorry, but I can’t live in this house with them. Especially when they are playing Happy fucking Families.” Harry said, throwing the last of his clothes into his suitcase and closing it, before standing again and walking out of the bedroom, dragging his suitcase behind him.
Seamus and Blaise looked at each other and then quickly ran to follow Harry through the house.
“Harry! You don’t want to do this really! You’re making a mistake!” Seamus cried out, getting the attention of the housemates in the garden, including Draco and Terry, who both looked at Harry with some dawning comprehension on their faces.
“So you’re leaving are you Potter? Good riddance.” Draco said, feeling the knife twist in his stomach again, but ignoring it. This was for the best.
“Yes Malfoy. I ma sure that is going to please you. I’m going to leave this house, finish my NEWTS, hopefully early and then leave the wizarding world forever. So don’t worry, you will be rid of me forever.” Harry said through gritted teeth, dragging his suitcase past the two and then into the house. Blaise and Seamus watching on helplessly.
“I don’t know what the fuck you are playing at Malfoy, and frankly I don’t care, but if Harry leaves this house today, then Merlin help you, because I will make you life a living hell.” Seamus whispered, leaning through the bars and glaring at an admittedly shocked Draco.
“I am going to have to agree with him D. You have made me ashamed to admit to being your friend. Harry saved your life and this is how to repay him? By stamping on his heart and forcing him to leave the wizarding world. I knew you were slightly callous, but I didn’t think you were the cold hearted bastard that everyone painted you as.”
“Blaise! What the hell has Potter been telling you!” Draco cried, not noticing what was going on in the main house.
“He has told me exactly what you did last night and this morning. I know for a Merlin Damned fact that you have feelings for him, but as soon as you played on those feelings and it looked as though Harry would reciprocate, you ran scared!”
“He lied!”
“He did not! And now, because of you he is leaving! You fucking bastard!” Blaise screamed, getting the attention of Mandy and Daphne, who wandered over from their bench and looked between the arguing best friends.
“What’s going on?”
“Harry’s leaving.”
“What! Why?” Mandy exclaimed, looking towards the Main House but waiting for an explanation.
“Because Draco fucking wrecked his life is why!” Seamus yelled, struggling through the bars to reach Draco and throttle him.
“I did not wreck his fucking life, you bloody Hufflepuff! He says he’s a Slytherin at heart but he acts like a Gryffindor all the time!”
“Er… shouldn’t we be stopping him as opposed to arguing outside here?” Daphne asked tentatively, looking towards the Main House nervously and nibbling on her lower lip.
“Oh crap. Come on!” Seamus said, registering what Daphne had said and then moving away from the bars and running into the house, closely followed by everyone else.
What met them, was Harry, being held back by Justin, as Lavender and Padma tearfully pleaded with his Gryffindor side, not to leave, Susan patting them both on the back comfortingly, whilst looking at Harry half accusingly and half pleading.
“Fine! I’ll bloody stay! Will you just stop crying!” Harry said, partly thankful for being given a reason to back out.
“Yes! I knew that would work!” Lavender said, tears mysteriously vanishing and jumping up, high-fiving Padma, who was also suspiciously dry-eyed.
“You tricked me!” Harry exclaimed, looking at the two girls accusingly.
“Yup, but you have told us that you are staying now, so no changing your mind. Best go back and unpack then mister.” Lavender said, giving Harry a glare that was very reminiscent of Professor McGonagall and making Harry shudder at the underlying threat of what would happen to him were he to change his mind and leave.
“Fine fine. But don’t expect me to forgive you any time soon.” Harry muttered under his breath, turning around and dragging his suitcase back to the bedroom. As he left he heard Seamus mutter to the girls.
“Well done you two, couldn’t have done better meself.”
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Three Fifteen PM. All the housemates have been called into the Living Area for the announcement of who will be up for eviction this week.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
“Housemates, This is Big Brother. The housemates up for nomination this week are…” everyone looked around at each other, nervous as to whether it would be them or not this week.
“I wish they would just tell us the names and get it over with. This waiting part is the worst.” Seamus muttered, getting nods of agreement form all those who heard him,.
“Blaise. And…”
“What!? Why would anyone want to nominate you? You’re pretty much the peace keeper of this house!” Seamus exclaimed, not noticing the guilty looks form the ones who voted for said Slytherin.
“Well I did wonder when I would be up for eviction, must admit, I did think I would be up in the first week. But still, week two, not so bad!” Blaise said, placing a falsely cheerful smile on his face.
“Justin.”
“Why Justin?”
“Is that all?”
“Are there only two up this week then?”
“And…”
“Nope, looks like there could be one or so more.” Harry commented, feeling an unusual flutter in his stomach at the realisation that it wasn’t him again. He didn’t know whether to feel gratitude or confusion.
“Terry. Housemates are now free to leave the Living Area.”
“Ooh tough break Boot.” Seamus said snidely, looking at Terry and smirking.
“Ignore him Terry.” Draco muttered, still playing the coupley roll with the Ravenclaw, and trying to calm him down when he looked like he would attack Seamus. Of course, if he did decide to attack him, then Draco would have been the last person to be available to help, seeing that there were large metal bars in the way.
“I can’t believe I am up for eviction again!” Terry bemoaned, resting his forehead against Draco’s through the bars and making Harry sneer at them, feeling physically sick.
“Blaise, are you okay?” Harry asked, standing up and moving to the bars to sit next to Seamus and Blaise.
“Yeah, it’s all cool. I’ve never been up for eviction! It’s kind of liberating!” Blaise said, smiling and making Harry look at him strangely.
“Yeah. Of course it is only the second week and so not many of us have been up for eviction.” Seamus pointed out, making Blaise look contemplative.
“Hey Justin! Come join us! Tell us what you feel being up for eviction for the first time!” Blaise yelled, making the Hufflepuff jump and then walk over to them and sit down next to Harry.
“I don’t know. I expected to feel upset, but I don’t. Part of me really wants to leave anyway because I miss everyone in Hufflepuff, but then another part of me really doesn’t want to leave because if I hadn’t come in here, then I would have never made some of the friends I have now.”
“I know what you mean my friend, I know what you mean.” Blaise said, nodding sagely and ignoring the snickering coming from Harry and Seamus.
“What are you two talking about? It had better be Terry that leaves this house!” Seamus said, not even bothering keeping his voice down.
“What! What did you say? Why the hell should he leave?” Draco asked, standing up and moving over to stand near Seamus.
“Er… let me see. Why should Terry leave?” By this point, Blaise and Harry were snickering, Justin was watching silently, and Padma and Lavender had walked over. Mandy, Daphne and Susan were watching from the opposite side of the room, occasionally muttering something between themselves.
“That is what I asked Finnegan.” Draco growled, moving closer to the bars and so Seamus. Harry stopped snickering and watched Draco warily, wondering what he was attempting to do, then glanced at a suspiciously quiet Terry, who was watching the interaction between the two curiously.
“I know, I was just thinking about the answer before I gave you one. So, I think the answer is, he is a whiny brat, he doesn’t participate in anything, he doesn’t contribute to the house, he is arrogant, he sucks up to you and no one here actually likes him.” Seamus finished, ignoring the fact that Draco was now glaring at him, grinding his teeth together.
“Shut your mouth Finnegan. You don’t know what you are talking about.”
“I do actually. You only like Terry at the moment because you are using him.”
“What?” Draco exclaimed, glaring at Seamus dangerously.
“You are using him to get back at Harry, for some unknown reason. Whatever your problem is, you had better get over it and soon, or Terry won’t be the only unpopular one in this house. You are only popular in this house right now because of your, now extinct, relationship with Harry. You better rethink your decisions of late, because they are not the way to go to win this.” Seamus stated, standing up and walking up to Draco.
“I don’t know what you are talking about Finnegan.”
“You know exactly what I am talking about. You either used Harry to get at Terry, or you are using Terry. It is one or the other because you were awfully chummy with Harry and then straight away with Terry.” Seamus pointed out, making Draco gape at him speechless and Harry go bright red as the rest of the housemates attention was now on him and Draco.
“What actually did happen between you two to make you hate each other so much?” Lavender asked, frowning in confusion and making even Mandy, Daphne and Susan look up in interest and then move closer.
“Nothing happened! Harry lied this morning and it pissed me off.” Draco said, glaring at Harry and making Harry glare right back.
“I wasn’t the one in denial this morning Malfoy. That was you.”
“I didn’t deny anything!”
“Oh no. I’m sorry, but ‘It meant nothing’ sounds an awful lot like denial to me.”
“It did mean nothing! It’s not my fault that you’re deluded!”
“I’m not the deluded one! You have feelings for me, and when you acted upon them, then you panicked and backed away! You are heartless Draco Malfoy and personally I believe that you aren’t even capable of love. And to answer your question form last night. No I wouldn’t go out with him and yes I am leaving the Wizarding World once I have my NEWTs. You will not be the reason to keep me here!” With that, Harry spun on his heel and stormed out of the room, leaving everyone else in a shocked silence.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Six Oh Nine PM. Lavender, Padma and Susan are all sitting in the Garden discussing what has happened between Draco and Harry.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
“Okay, so does anyone know what happened between Draco and Harry last night?” Padma asked, looking at Lavender for the answer.
“Okay, seeing as you already know that I know. Apparently, according to Seamus, Draco kissed Harry and then ran away. That was all he would tell me though.” Lavender added, getting a disappointed look from Padma in the process.
“I know what happened this morning.” Susan admitted quietly, making Padma and Lavender look over at her in shock.
“What? What happened?” Lavender and Padma asked simultaneously.
“Well, Justin said that when he walked into the Kitchen this morning, Draco and Harry were having an argument about something. He walked in just in time to hear Harry yell that Draco kissed him.”
“We already knew that though, surely they aren’t upset about that?”
“No. After he said that, they both noticed Justin and apparently Draco went crazy and completely denied it, saying that he never meant it and that it was mistake or something.”
“What a wanker.” Lavender said, pretty much summing up what the other two were thinking (and all you lovely readers probably) and making them nod in agreement.
“I can’t believe he did that to Harry. Now what are we going to do? We can’t exactly get them together like this? They hate each other!” Padma exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air in exasperation and then looking away towards where Harry was sitting talking to Seamus and Blaise.
“The really bad thing is that they are basically trapped in that side of the house now for quite a while.”
“I know. Sadly I don’t think Harry and Draco are ever going to get together now. Draco has pretty much blown that.” Lavender said with a sigh, and the other two girls couldn’t help but agree.
“What is he doing with Terry though?”
“I don’t know. They are both pretty much using each other, both the get at Harry as well.” Padma pointed out.
“Yup. I see where you are coming from with that one. But it isn’t fair to Harry. He had a point you know, what he said earlier.”
“What do you mean Lav?” Susan asked, looking at her in confusion.
“Draco doesn’t know how to love and he ran scared when he felt something odd for Harry.”
“So what is he doing with Terry?”
“Using him to get to Harry. He is angry with Harry for spilling the beans as the muggles would say. I think he is also angry with himself, but he is projecting that hatred onto Harry as well.” Padma said, making Lavender and Susan look at her in shock.
“How did you come up with all of that?”
“I’m a Ravenclaw my dear, when we run out of library books to read, we read Muggle books. I happened to read into Muggle psychology. Really interesting. I could bring on a whole different meaning into this if I was to think like a Muggle psychiatrist called Freud, but I don’t think I will.” Padma added, making Lavender and Susan look vaguely upset and disappointed.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Harry, Seamus and Blaise are all in the Living area, talking about Draco and Terry.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
“Don’t leave the Wizarding world because of what Draco did to you Harry. Please.”
“I wasn’t going because of Draco. I was going to leave in the first place because there isn’t anything here for me anymore. You all got it into your heads that I would stay for Draco and well, today’s events have pissed all over those fireworks.”
“They did? How did that happen? Hang on. What fire works?” Blaise asked confused. Harry looked at him as though trying to see if he was kidding or not and then shook his head in exasperation.
“Nothing Blaise. It was just a figure of speech. Forget it even said it. The point is, I will be leaving the wizarding world because I really don’t have anything keeping me here.”
“What about me? And Seamus?”
“You two can come and visit me, or even stay with me for a while if you wish. I’m not going to just disappear. I just want to live away from being the Boy Who Lived. Away from all the admirers and gossipers.”
“But I don’t know anything about the Muggle world! I can’t live there! I would hate it! Why are you going to be so selfish!” Blaise exclaimed, looking kind of helpless and frazzled.
“I agree with Blaise. You are being kind of selfish, but I also think you deserve to be selfish. I think so many people have asked so much of you and never given you anything back that you should do what you want form now on and no one should ever complain.” Seamus said, making Harry look at him with gratitude.
“Thanks. You know, you two will always be welcome and I will still visit you as well. Blaise, don’t feel like I’m abandoning you or anything.” Harry said, smiling kindly at Blaise and shuffling closer to him to put his arm through the bars to pat Blaise’s arm.
“But I will be left here alone!”
“No you won’t you will still have Seamus and Draco.”
“But D’s changed! He’s gone really mean and selfish again.”
“He’ll settle down again and go back to normal eventually. The Big Brother house changes everyone and no one acts like they normally would.” Harry said trying to reassure Blaise, who now seemed to be really quite upset.
“Maybe. I suppose you’re right.”
“Of course he’s right! He’s Harry Potter!” Seamus exclaimed, making Blaise smile weakly and Harry blush slightly. “But he is also right about me you know. I’ll be there for you as well, so you won’t be alone.”
“Thanks Shea.”
“Calling him Shea huh? You two have gotten cozy?” Harry teased, making the other two blush furiously.
“Nothing’s happened?” Seamus denied quickly, making Harry’s grin widen.
“Did I say anything had? I was just commenting. I mean I know when I started to call you Shea.” Harry said with a small leer, making Seamus blush furiously.
“When did you start to call him Shea?”
“It doesn’t matter. Ignore him.” Seamus said quickly, making Blaise look between the two curiously and then nod, agreeing to drop the subject.
“So what do you think will happen between you and Draco now then?”
“Nothing. We will just go back to either ignoring each other or sniping at each other. Maybe one day things will go back to the way they were last week, but I doubt it.” Harry admitted, making Seamus and Blaise look at him in sympathy, mentally cursing Draco for ruining everything.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
Poll Week 2 NominationsPlease review and leave your vote… and maybe a couple of comments.
A/N - Okey choke then. Looks like things between Harry and Draco have just gotten worse. The thing with Terry, well I didn’t even plan that one and so it even shocked me when I wrote it! Lol! Really though, most of what Padma said was true and so maybe Draco, Terry and Harry will realise that and things will be back to normal again. Oh how I love creating love triangles! They are so much fun and make the ones involved so miserable (well besides Terry by the look of things!)
So anyway yeah, please Review to tell me what you think and to tell me who you want out. You can choose any of the three above, none of them are immune to voting, so vote away! Thank you!!!
