Chapter One:
It was a little after midnight, and Harry was wondering around the castle. It was only the second week of the semester, but Harry was already having trouble sleeping. Nightmares of his parents haunted him night after night. On his way out of the common room after a particularly rough dream, he had been cornered by Ginny. Now last year he would have been fine with this and would have stayed and chatted with her before heading out for a walk. Now, however, it seemed that during the break she had managed to convince herself, with a little help from Ron, that they were destined to be together just like Harry's parents were. Unfortunately for her, Harry had spent the first month of the holidays thinking about what he wanted from life and had realized after a lot of soul-searching that he was gay. He was still unsure about what the magical world felt about homosexuals. As had been occurring since arriving at the Weasley house after his birthday; she had tried to kiss him, which Harry managed to dodge before running out of the common room and away from Ginny. He couldn't deal with this right now. Not with the image of his parents disapproving looks still fresh on his mind from his nightmare.
So now Harry was wondering around the castle avoiding Ginny who had been trying to find him for the past hour. He heard Ginny call his name from around the corner at the end of the corridor he was walking towards and turned and ran back the way he came. Just as he reached the end of the hall, another body rounded the corner, and they collided falling into a crumpled heap.
"Potter" Draco Malfoy grunted from his place under Harry "Get off." Harry nodded and crawled off him and stood up.
Two voices echoed down the corridor from different directions, "Harry" came from a high pitched voice from the direction Harry had come from, and "Drakey poo" a whiney voice came from the direction Draco had come from. The boys looked at each other, and both swore at the same time before turning to look for a way to escape. There was a small broom closet in the corner the boys both dived for the closet and the door closed just as Pansy rounded the corner.
The closet they were now hiding in was hardly big enough for one person let alone two teenage boys, even if Harry was smaller than the average teenager. Harry was pressed up against the wall with Draco's hands on either side of his body, and their chests are lightly touching. They held their breath as the footsteps came closer to their hiding place and stopped outside. "I'm going to try something, don't freak out" Draco whispered. He leaned in and as the door handle started to turn he pressed their lips lightly together. He moved his hands, so one was gently caressing Harry's neck while the other was around his waist pulling him closer. The kiss got more heated, and Harry fisted his hands in the front of Draco's shirt trying to stay grounded as he experienced the most amazing kiss of his life. Neither boy noticed that the door was now fully open and a shocked Pansy was staring at them. The wand that Pansy had been carrying dropped to the floor as her hand flew to her mouth.
Draco ended the kiss when he heard her wand hit the floor he stood there looking at Harry while he composed himself. "Pansy, What are you doing here?" Draco asked when he turned around his arm still around harry's waist. Pansy looked between them for a second before answering "I saw you leave the common room and came looking for you, but It appears that you're busy so I'll just" Her speech was interrupted by a gasp from the other end of the corridor. They all turned at the gasp and saw Ginny standing there looking shocked. "Ginny?" Harry asked. Ginny who had been staring at Draco's arm around his waist jerked out of her thoughts at harry's inquiry. She looked up to Harry's face before turning and running away a tear falling onto her cheek.
"Damn, now everybody is going find out" Harry sighed before turning around to face Draco again. "I'm Sorry, I have to go," Harry told Draco before leaving his hold and squeezing past pansy and running in the direction Ginny had gone. Harry caught up with her just as she entered the common room calling for Ron and knew he was too late so turned around and walked up to the astronomy tower. The astronomy tower was his go to place when he needed to get away from everyone and have time to think in peace without the expectations and pressure of others surrounding him. A lot of time had been spent here thinking about Draco and now had one more thing to add to his list of Draco related thoughts. He was an amazing kisser. Not that Harry had much to compare it too, but he would be thinking about that kiss for a while now. Surprisingly Draco made him feel cared for and even though he was aware that it wasn't real he had enjoyed every second of it. Hopefully, tomorrow wouldn't be too bad, and he could smooth everything over with Ron before the rumors got out of hand. Oh well, it was worth it.
