Chapter 8
As soon as Harry got back to the Gryffindor common room Ron started yelling in his face.
"Where have you been Harry? Huh? Hanging out with Slytherins now. I can't believe this. All you want is attention!" Hermione just glared at Ron, before shaking her head.
Harry rolled his eyes before responding with, "I had detention Ron, and for your information, my new boyfriend is in Slytherin. If you'll excuse me, I have homework I need to get done."
Ron started yelling again, "I can't believe the boy who lived is a fucking fag. You should've just been sorted into Slytherin! You're as much trash as they are."
Everything happened in slow motion. Ron stepped back, cocked his fist, and slammed it into Harry's face. A resounding crack was heard.
Harry could have sworn Hermione had steam coming out of her ears. "Ronald Weasley, I thought your family raised you better than this! If anyone is trash in here it's you. I am sick and tired of you mistreating Harry! Just because Harry likes boys doesn't make him any different than before. At least he has someone who loves him! You're so horrible that no one will want to marry you."
After Hermione finished her rant, she grabbed Harry's arm and stormed out of the dorm with him. As soon as she calmed down, she took a glance at Harry's face and winced. His nose was crooked, probably broken, he had a black eye which was swollen shut, and she worried that his cheekbone was fractured. Blood had mixed with the tears trailing down his face.
"Harry, do you have someone you can go to, like a teacher who can fix this? Generally, I would go to Mrs.Mcgonigall, but she's outside of Hogwarts away on some family business."
Harry tried to smile, but his split lip made it hard. "Hermione, don't freak out, but I'm going to the Slytherin common room. Alright?" Hermione couldn't keep the blatant surprise off her face, before remembering Harry said that his boyfriend was in Slytherin.
"Alright, Harry. I'll walk with you but I won't go inside. "
Their walk was silent, giving Harry some time to think. Sure, Harry knew Ron thought he did everything for attention, but Harry didn't realize Ron was also a bigot. Harry sighed, as he realized that he and Ron had never really been friends. Harry shrugged, this loss was one he could handle.
Eventually, they arrived in front of the common room. Harry turned to Hermione and she smiled. "I understand Harry, I'll cover my ears so I don't hear the password." Harry smiled his thanks, before muttering the password.
The door swung open and Harry walked in. He was greeted with the glare of many Slytherins.
Zabini-Harry was pretty sure his first name was Blaise, stood up. "Potter, I knew you were stupid, but not this stupid. This is the SLYTHERIN common room." This caused all the other Slytherins in the room to mutter in outrage about "stupid Potter" and "why is he here" before his saving grace walked in.
"What is all this noise about?" Asked Draco, who had heard all the talking from his bedroom. Blaise just pointed to Harry, and Draco gasped before running up to Harry and hugging him.
When Draco pulled away he took one glance at Harry's face before getting filled with anger. "Who did this?" Harry just shook his head. Draco nodded in understanding.
"Well?" he barked at Theodore Nott, who was sitting down. "What are you doing? Go get Snape!" Theo bolted up and ran to grab his head of house. Draco softly lead Harry one of the couches.
"So Draco," asked Blaise, "You going to introduce us?" Draco rolled his eyes. "Everyone, this is Harry Potter, the savior of the wizarding world who also happens to be my boyfriend."
Harry smiled. He would never get used to that. "Alright Potter, guess that makes you an honorary Slytherin."
Something that they thought was supposed to be a chuckle came out of Harry. "It's funny because originally the Sorting Hat wanted to put me in Slytherin." This made the rest of the Slytherins crack up, including Draco.
Suddenly their attention was brought to the door as it slammed open, and Snape barged in. "Now where is this injured student that felt the need to take up my limited time?"
Harry hesitantly raised his hand. Snape gave a melodramatic sigh. "Mr.Potter, I had hoped we wouldn't be seeing each other so soon. Now tell me what happened before I heal you."
"Well, erm, when I got back to the Gryffindor room Ron wanted to know where I was. I told him I served detention and then hung out with my boyfriend. He didn't like that very much so he decided to call me a fag and punch me in the face." Snape glared before muttering stupid Gryffindors.
"Mr.Potter, I assure you Mr.Weasley won't get off this Scott free, considering he broke a students nose and cheekbone. Harry, this will hurt but I have to use a spell to reset the bone."
While the Slytherins were in shock about what Harry's so-called friend did, Draco was having trouble restraining himself from going and killing that stupid ginger haired bastard.
Harry shrugged, "I've had worse sir." Snape shook his head. No student should be able to say that, ever. Snape gave a quick 3, 2, 1 before casting the spell.
Harry didn't even wince.
After he was healed Draco gave him a quick peck before saying, "Come on Harry, you've never seen my room, have you? I'll show you." Draco continued talking to Harry about the common room all while they were walking.
Even though Hary had tuned out, he glanced at Draco and then behind him at the rest of the Slytherins smiling and talking.
He had a family.
