Title: Draco's Predicament

Summary: It's sixth year and Draco finds out who's his true soul-mate is.

Pairings: Harry/Severus, Draco/Ron, Neville/Hermione (possibility).

Author's note: This is sort of my first story on writing on Draco. I'm usually writing on Harry/Severus as you can see, so I hope I do well on this one. NO FLAMES!

Draco Malfoy was in a predicament right now. He is in love with two people. Yes, you heard that right. Draco Malfoy is in love with two people and they're both in Gryffindor. A Slytherin falling in love with a Gryffindor, if you-know-who found out, he would be dead by now. It was his sixth year at Hogwarts when Draco Malfoy finally confessed his feelings to someone.

"I'm in love with both Neville Longbottom and Ron Weasley," Draco confessed as the person in front of him sat on the couch with an awe look on his face.

"Ok, why are you telling me this, Draco?" The person asked bewildered.

"Both of them are your friends, aren't they? Besides, I don't have anyone else that I could go to about this predicament that I'm in. I thought I could go to the next source. Which is you, Harry James Potter," Draco said as he was in his godfather's private chambers at Hogwarts and he was staring down at Harry Potter who was sitting on the couch gaping at him while his lover, Severus Snape, sat at the desk near them, who was trying not to listen to their conversation while marking.

Last year during their Occlumency lessons, Severus have founded some disturbing dreams about him and Harry by accident. By 'disturbing' meaning, it was an erotic private dream that he shouldn't have seen in the first place. By many confrontations with the boy and a lot of arguments and finally confession, Severus founded an old tradition in how they could find their soul-mates.

Each one gets a small little leaf outside and put a drop of blood in there own leaf. Once that's done, they have to put it in a small bowl with water, one after another. When the leaf enters the bowl, the blood would disappear and in replacement, glowing initials will be replaced thus marking them as his/her soul mate.

When Severus and Harry founded out that they were each other's soul mates, they were happy. Only a select few knew their relationship since if it was out in the open, they knew that someone from Slytherin would go and tell the Dark Lord. Thus they couldn't have that happen and so, their relationship was in secrecy. Just like right now. Harry told Ron and Hermione that he was going to see Severus, and that they were going to tell the others that he had extra training lessons with him.

"Well? What should I do?" Draco asked as he fidgeted nervously where he stood.

"Oh for Merlin sake!" Severus muttered as he stood up where he sat and he quickly left to go to his Potion Laboratory.

"What was that about?" Draco asked surprised as he and Harry had watched Severus stormed out off the private chambers and into his laboratory.

"Perhaps his getting a leaf and a bowl," Harry suggested making Draco's eyes widened at the comment.

"You can't be serious," Draco replied stunned.

Harry sniggered, "His dead serious," he said as he saw his lover return with a bowl and a leaf. The two boys went over to the dining table as Severus put the bowl of water on top of the dining table as he got a knife nearby.

"Draco, you have to cut your palm so that a drop of blood could be on the leaf," Severus instructed as he handed the knife to Draco.

Draco nodded as he did what he was instructed to do so. They watched as the blood from the leaf inside the bowl evaporated and it was replaced by initials.

Harry gaped, "R.W.," he read out loud.

"Ronald Weasley…" Draco stammered as he looked at Harry, "isn't he dating Hermione at the moment?" He asked.

Harry nodded, "Since the end of last year," he said as he grinned at the moment. But his face fell when he saw the 'look' that Draco was giving him. "Look, tomorrow, I'll go and tell Ron to come here and do the same thing. If the initials are D.M. and it clearly states that you are meant to be together!" Harry exclaimed.

"But what about Granger? She would be heartbroken," Draco replied with a moan.

"Look, we just have to find a way to tell her the news in a gentle way," Harry said confidently and Draco nodded in agreement.

"I was really hoping that Neville was also my soul-mate," Draco said slowly.

"I don't think Neville's gay, Draco. At least you narrowed down your love choice to one," Harry pointed out as Draco nodded as he stared down at the leaf that was in the bowl.

"I'm coming with you," Hermione said determined as the next morning, Harry had told Hermione and Ron that Ron needed to go with him down to Snape's place.

"Don't you have homework or something?" Harry asked as he was trying not to get Hermione to come with them.

Hermione glared at him, "With that statement, I know something is going on and you're trying to hide it from me!" She exclaimed.

"Mate, if you don't let her come with us, you won't hear the end of it," Ron replied with a grin as Hermione smacked him over the head.

"Don't say that I warned you," Harry muttered as the trio headed over to Snape's office that morning.

Along the way, they were hustled by a group of Slytherins that contained Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, a young first year student and another boy that Harry didn't recognized.

Draco raised his eyebrow as he saw that Hermione was with Harry and Ron. "So Potter, you do realize that this part of the castle belongs to the Slytherins, don't you?" He asked with a sneer.

"I'm not an idiot Malfoy! Of course I know this is the Slytherins side," Harry retorted back.

"Tell us a good reason why you are here in the first place and we might let you all live," Pansy replied.

"We have a detention with Snape," Harry replied.

"Impossible! That Mudblood never gets detentions!" Blaise exclaimed.

Hermione's face had a 'look' that was tearful and Ron quickly took his wand out and said, "Rictusempra!" The spell was aiming for Blaise.

"Protego!" Blaise quickly said and the spell rebounded and went directly to Ron and Ron tried to do the Protego spell, but it didn't work so the spell hit him making him fall over.

The Slytherins all laughed except Draco, who was watching the whole dueling scene in silence. Hermione and Harry went over to Ron who was lying on his back on the ground with his eyes closed.

"Ron, say something! Anything!" Hermione pleaded.

Ron began to smile then laughter. He was laughing as if there was no tomorrow.

"Ron?" Harry asked worriedly.

"I…I c..can't stop laughing!" Ron said as his laughter just kept on going while the other Slytherins looked on and laughed along with him except Draco of course.

"C'mon Hermione, Snape's the nearest one. He'll know what to do," Harry said and Hermione nodded in agreement as the two carried Ron to Snape's.

TBC...

me: I'm not sure how long this is gonna be since I thought of this as nearly as a one-shot, but it became more than just a one-shot.

Harry: You got the ending from the second movie, didn't you?

me: Yup. The idea hit me with it as I kind of liked that part where Ron's spell backfires. Anyone going to watch the Harry Potter movie this Friday?

Ron: We need at least 5 reviews if you guys want the next chapter by this weekend!

Severus: We'll be onto the next chapter soon.

Draco: Review and update.
