Chapter 5
Yawning, Ron falls out of bed and puts in his robes.
After finding the other members of the golden trio, they make their way towards breakfast.
Over breakfast, they discuss what they will do, seeing as it is a Saturday and there is no classes. Hermione votes for studying, but Ron and Harry outweigh her decision with quidditch.
After grabbing their brooms and Hermione her books, they head out to the quidditch pitch.
Mounting their brooms, Harry, Ron, and the other Gryffindors face off against the Hufflepuffs they gathered.
Almost immediately, Harry spots the snitch. Careful not to draw too much attention to himself, he flies directly above the snitch.
A bludger whizzes past Harry’s head, and Fred quickly bats it away.
Looking around, he sees the snitch, directly behind the other seekers head. Cursing his luck, Harry flies around the other seeker, and rushes towards her.
The snitch veers up, And Harry grabs it just in time.
Holding it up triumphantly, the Gryffindors cheer.
Flying down, he sees a certain Slytherin standing in the edge of the pitch. After dismounting, he walks in the general direction of Draco, trying to avoid drawing attention.
Draco motions to follow him under the stands, and Harry looks back to see Ron making a kissy face at Harry. He shoots ron a dirty look, and signs a hand across his throat; a clear sign to stop.
Practically dragging Harry, Draco pulls along the younger boy. Once he is sure no one is watching, he pulls Harry into a kiss.
Harry kisses Draco back, and Harry whispers “I need you, but not now. “ Harry kisses him once more, then waves goodbye.
Draco looks crestfallen as he walks back to the castle. Once he is there, he sulks for the rest of the day, thinking of ways he could surprise Harry.

After lunch, the trio walks back up the common rooms, hoping to get some down time before the rest of the day.
After settling in, Hermione asks Ron “So... do you fancy anyone?” Ron stutters meekly “I kind of like... like... Seamus” the last word barely a whisper. “Ok. I really like Seamus” he says after Hermione glares at him.
She says “Good. On this next Hogsmeade trip, you and him are going on a date.” He looks over at her and says “I don’t even know if he likes blokes, let alone me!”
Harry says “That’s because you don’t have to hear him muttering and moaning at 3 AM”
Ron looks down at his lap, and mumbles something incoherent.
Harry takes that time to look at Hermione, and she shrugs, looking back at him and making a kissy face.
“Hey Ron, look, there he is now!” Says Hermione, pushing him towards the entrance.
Taking a deep breath, Ron walks over to Seamus. He really doesn’t want to, but if he doesn’t, Hermione might kill him.
“Hey Ron” says Seamus. “Uhh, Seamus, there is something I would like to ask you.” Says Ron, nervously. Seamus nods, indicating that Ron should continue.
“Would you like to go the three broomsticks with me? I mean... you don’t have to if you don’t want-“
He was cut off by Seamus jumping and saying “I would love to, Ron!”
The two headed off to discuss who knows what, and Harry said to Hermione “So... Luna...” And Hermione said “ So... Draco...” mocking Harry.
“Who knew that out trio would turn out to be so gay!” Said Hermione, trying to deflect further questioning about Luna.
Harry replied “Actually, I am pan instead of gay.”
Halfway through a conversation on the differences between being pan and bi, they realized it was late and they should go to bed.
As Hermione passed Ron and said goodnight, she said “I told you so!” And Ron scowls at her.
_._._._._
In the morning, Ron realizes that his date is today. With a horrified look on his face, he goes to wake Harry.
“Noooooooooooo Draco, it’s early” says a groggy Harry when Ron shakes him.
Yanking him out of bed, Ron whispers “ I need you to help me find something to wear today before he wakes up!”, gesturing over to Seamus.
Sleepily walking over to Rons trunk, they find a nice set of red robes that complement Ron’s hair.
After breakfast, McGonagal calls all of the students going to hogsmeade to the doors.
After they all line up, Ron and Seamus, Draco And Harry, And Luna And Hermione are all holding hands.
McGonagal lifts an eyebrow at Harry and Draco, considering that they are rivals and from diffrent houses.
After arriving at hogsmeade, Ron and Seamus the three broomsticks. Walking up to the bar, they ask for two butterbeers.
“So...” says Ron, hoping that Seamus will start a conversation. “Well, at least we are both socially awkward, gay teens who have never had a boyfriend and have no idea how to talk.” Says Seamus, looking dutifully at Ron.
Luckily, they are saved by the arrival of the butterbeers.
On the other side of the building, Luna, Hermione, Padma, and Cho were all sitting, talking about the pros and cons of house elf rights.
“House elfs are sentient creatures that have feelings and need rights!” Said Hermione. “But, if they enjoy working, then is it really that bad?” Asked Padma.
“It’s not punishment if they like it” Said Luna, coyly. “Speaking of punishment, would any of you be interested in learning how do BDSM?” Luna asked. Hermione blushed a violent shade of pink, and Luna giggled.
Cho said “I would like to, seeing as someone enjoyed it so much.” Hermione rushed off, mumbling something about going to the bathroom.
Padma said “Sure, it would be cool.”
When Hermione came back, Luna said “We shall meet tonight from now, at 1:12.” she received quizzical looks from her table mates.
“It’s when the moon will be brightest and fullest” said luna, with a dreamy look on her face.
Over at the bar, Ron said he was going to the loo when he saw Harry walk in.
Harry saw him, and followed him after sitting down with Draco.
“Bloody hell, how do you talk to people?!?” Ron asked the black haired boy.
“Just breathe, Ron. Think of a topic you both like, such as quidditch, and mention it.”
“Thanks mate!” Said Ron. Harry went to reply, but the red head was already gone.
After sitting down, Ron began to ask Seamus about quidditch. The two talked, and soon enough, their nerves died down.
After a long day at hogsmeade, Ms. McGonagal called back all of the kids.
With a general air of contentment, they walked back to the castle.
Once they arrive, Harry looks at Draco before they go their separate ways to their dorms.
The common rooms were full of people, but the golden trio managed to find a seat near the windows.
After talking for what seemed like hours, they headed their separate ways towards bed.
