how's draco?
PANSPARKS
he's-
PANSPARKS
wait.
PANSPARKS
you two still haven't talked yet, have you?
_POTTER
afraid not.
PANSPARKS
even after all this?!
PANSPARKS
..
PANSPARKS
i care deeply for draco, harry, i really do-
PANSPARKS
but there's nothing i want to do more in this moment that smack him into unconsciousness.
PANSPARKS
listen, i'm gonna go talk to him
PANSPARKS
again
PANSPARKS
and hopefully, he'll go back to his senses.
_POTTER
i didn't message you as an order to force him into talking to me.
_POTTER
it's just..
_POTTER
you and blaise (did i spell it right?) have been active since discovering the post and i feel like he's purposely leaving out..
_POTTER
which is fine, i can be annoying at times.
_POTTER
but what is it, really?
_POTTER
he doesn't like me..?
PANSPARKS
no, no, he does. (and yes, you did.)
PANSPARKS
he really does..
PANSPARKS
it's just..
_POTTER
it's just what?
read at 2:58
_POTTER
listen, if he doesn't like me and it's privacy he want, i'll unfollow him and won't bother him again.
_POTTER
i mean, i'm just kinda confused because his attitude was different when i met him.
_POTTER
i just thought..well, hoped, it'd be the same or somewhat the same in this situation.
PANSPARKS
besides being one of his best friends
PANSPARKS
i'm not in the right position to answer this for you.
PANSPARKS
this is much more major than you think, harry.
PANSPARKS
he's already pissed off at me for just telling you his name.
PANSPARKS
if i'd told you this, i'd lose my best friend.
PANSPARKS
..he'll have to tell you himself.
_POTTER
oh
_POTTER
i'm sorry i caused that between you two..
_POTTER
and sorry for even bothering to message, you've already done enough for me.
_POTTER
i know i don't like it when i get into /minor/arguments with ron and hermione and my other friends, but to be put in a situation where you could potentially lose them
_POTTER
that's something i couldn't recover from.
_POTTER
as i said earlier, i didn't message you as an order to force him into talking to me.
_POTTER
i just hadn't seen him come online since you and i talked, and in a reply, you mentioned you were going over to his house soon
_POTTER
i was just asking how he was in a general sense
_POTTER
just making sure he was okay.
_POTTER
but again, i'm sorry.
PANSPARKS
okay, now I feel like a jerk because i caused you to feel like shit, and drop down from your good mood. and i really didn't want to do that. i'm sorry, harry.
PANSPARKS
listen, i'm gonna go and talk to draco. I know I said it before, earlier, but he and I are going to really talk this time.
PANSPARKS
and then when I'm done, you're gonna talk to him on here.
_POTTER
no, no, you're fine. I just have a tendency to overthink things.
_POTTER
but wait, how am I gonna be able to do that.
_POTTER
Not literally, but you know..how?
PANSPARKS
just leave that to me, okay?
PANSPARKS
I've worked this out before ( and hopefully, I can do it a second time. )
_POTTER
thank you.
PANSPARKS
it's my pleasure.

_POTTER
draco, hey.
_POTTER
um, how are you?
BLONDBXTCH
i'm good, i'm good.
BLONDBXTCH
you?
_POTTER
glad to hear that
_POTTER
and i'm good as well.
BLONDBXTCH
look i'm really sorry for not contacting you after your post-
BLONDBXTCH
and for ignoring you.
_POTTER
it's alright, okay?
_POTTER
but i only want to know why you did it.
_POTTER
is it you don't like me or-?
BLONDBXTCH
i don't not like you, okay?
it's just..
i don't know if you could tell back in cali..but i like you.
_POTTER
well, that's good because i like you, too.
BLONDBXTCH
no, you don't get what i'm saying.
BLONDBXTCH
i mean i like like you.
_POTTER
again, that's good because i think we're in the same boat because i like like you too.
BLONDBXTCH
are you serious?
_POTTER
draco, i enjoyed hanging out with you back in cali, i really did.
_POTTER
and i even took it as far to post a picture that i took of you
_POTTER
on social media
_POTTER
risking you a potential kidnapping
_POTTER
just to find you and be able to talk to you again.
_POTTER
what do you think?
BLONDBXTCH
oh.
BLONDBXTCH
okay, now i feel stupid for even asking.
_POTTER
haha, don't.
_POTTER
you saw how i spammed you and pansy with if you liked me or not; if you hated me.
_POTTER
you aren't the only one who had doubts and fears.
BLONDBXTCH
okay, i'm feeling much much better about taking pansy's advice and finally talking to you
BLONDBXTCH
much better.
_POTTER
i'm glad
_POTTER
it was after your talk today, wasn't it?
BLONDBXTCH
yeah, how'd you know?
_POTTER
i just asked??
BLONDBXTCH
no need for the damn sass??
_POTTER
think you're some kinda badass?
BLONDBXTCH
hell yeah, especially when i go to kick your ass
_POTTER
well, i hope you got fists of brass
BLONDBXTCH
oh, watch 'em break through your right sunglass.
_POTTER
tHIS WAS SO FUCKING COOL !
BLONDBXTCH
i kNOW, IT WAS AWESOME !!
BLONDBXTCH
AND IT WASN'T EVEN PLANNED-!
_POTTER
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT EVEN BETTER !
_POTTER
( but honestly, this just made my day. )
BLONDBXTCH
( i'd be lying if I said this wasn't the same for me. )
BLONDBXTCH
so uh, where do we kinda go from here?
_POTTER
um, wanna start off as friends, and see where we go from there?
BLONDBXTCH
would be much better to do so; gives us time to really get to know one another.
_POTTER
then it's settled!
_POTTER
oh, and i really gotta go somewhere (had to leave a couple minutes ago but i stayed to message you) but can we just pick off where we leave off today, when i get back later?
BLONDBXTCH
of course
_POTTER
and also, can we make that rhyming thing a tradition of ours?
BLONDBXTCH
i'm all for it.
_POTTER
also-
BLONDBXTCH
harry, go where you need to go; you're already late.
_POTTER
me being late is an even better reason to delay my leaving.
BLONDBXTCH
harry-
_POTTER
okay, okay, i'm leaving !
_POTTER
bye, and talk to you later.
BLONDBXTCH
bye harry
BLONDBXTCH
and try not to be late to anything again because of me, yeah?
_POTTER
i can't promise that.
