Was a Songfic. Someone commented that the song is still under copyright so yea. Just a Draco x Harry fic now. Yes, that means this is a Drarry fic. I just wrote this on a whim while I was listening to a song (Ipod broke and keeps going on replay until I decide for song change...) They're in Sixth Year in this one, and Dumbles is alive, thank you.
I read Sophie's World as a homework book (A whole load of philosophy) and it mentioned this flower which a Romanticist wanted called the Blaue Blume or simply Blue Flower meaning desire and love. Felt like a good usage here.
Just sit back and enjoy!

"Malfoy? Are you there?" Harry asked hesitantly as he poked his head from behind the tree.
Draco smiled, a gentle grin lighting the face that Harry could only see so nice every evening. "Of course, come on Potter. I brought a blanket since it's rather chilly."
Harry had first found Draco sitting near the Black Lake under the huge silver birch after the Valentine's Day in their Fifth Year, simply gazing up at the stars. Harry was shocked, as he remembered, the Malfoy heir would always complain about their astronomy class (could be that it was because he was in it but...) and to find him looking to the stars which were part of the subject he hated...
For three weeks Harry would just watch Draco as the blonde watched the stars, gray eyes shining with something akin to joy or possibly peace. One day, Harry had revealed himself, only to be disappointed as Draco's face changed to the usual Malfoy-smirk or sneer. But no matter the insults draco threw at him, Harry kept going back, kept gazing at the stars with Draco (at a far distance though) and found himself in love with Draco Malfoy.
He hadn't realized when his hatred and anger had changed to joy and love, but he could no longer find it in himself to insult the blonde...too much. But everything on the inside changed, when Draco moved too close, Harry would jump and move away, when he muttered those insults in a low tone that Harry would only define as sexy Every night was the same now, Draco would smile at him softly as he came and explained the stars to him with a friendliness that had Harry's heart fluttering. It was the same, days of hatred, of sneering and insults and hexes, nights of smiles, of soft whispers and gazing at stars. Harry's heart ached for that reason, although it was not the only one.
"So...how's your relationship with Pansy?" Harry asked timidly as he snuggled under the blanket. The other reason for heartache, someone like Pansy Parkinson owned the right to touch Malfoy, to kiss Malfoy, to love Malfoy.
The blonde stiffened slightly, although Harry couldn't tell. "It's going fine...Father hopes for a marriage in the future."
"I see...I hope you're happy together." The raven barely hid the disappointment in his voice. He shouldn't be crying over something that was already expected to happen, maybe a little painful but he can get over it...someday.
Draco looked curiously at his rival."And I wish you all the misfortune I can bestow." He teased, trying to get the younger to at least give him a smile.
"Oi!" Harry cried, sounding indignant. He looked to the smug smile on Draco's face and glared.
"Come on Potter, it's a good night. Just enjoy what you get will you?"
"...Fine, but one more insult out of you and I throwing you to the Giant Squid." Harry grumbled as Draco chuckled at his grumpy attitude. They remained silent for the rest of it, just sitting there and staring at the sky.
Slowly, Draco's eyelids began to flutter and without a sound, he fell asleep with his head falling to Harry's shoulder. Harry was blushing bright red as he tried not to move and stay quiet.
Noticing the small deep blue Blaue Blume staring up at them as it peeked out daintily from a patch of wild flowers, Harry plucked it and with delicate fingers, traced the outer edge of the flower. With tears in his eyes, he gently kissed one of the petals and placed it against Draco's cheek as he laid the blonde down on the slightly dewy grass. Casting a drying spell, he dried the grass all around Malfoy as well as the heir himself. With a sigh, he covered the boy with the blanket. Looking at his handiwork, he felt accomplished, Draco was dry and warm and possibly the most beautiful person he'd ever seen.
With a tempting glance at the older boy's lips, Harry stood in silence, watching the pale pink like a rosebud. He couldn't resist as he pressed his lips against Draco's. Chaste, innocent and absolutely unknown to everyone except Harry. It lasted a second, no shorter, no longer, because the raven wouldn't bear to go any farther or move away too quickly. But he could taste the chocolate they served for dessert, feel the soft yet firm lips under his.
Harry blushed bright pink as he pulled away. Without glancing back, he quickly walked back to school with his Invisibility Cloak.
The next week was the same as always, him and Malfoy fighting, throwing hexes, insulting each other and landing both of them in the infirmary. Madame Pomfrey was pleased. Not because they were in the infirmary...again but because their fights were less physical meaning less injuries meaning less work which equaled a happy healer.
Harry couldn't help himself, he no longer went to those starry night sessions with Draco and simply stayed in the Gryffindor Common Room with Ron or Hermione. He could tell both his friends were worried about him, although he stayed in the rooms more, he was quiet and sad. Like a lonely ghost drifting through the castle, he moved from class to class. The raven slept less, choosing to spend more time staring out the window. His words against Malfoy soon shrunk to no longer having any emotion or bite, irritating the blonde into nearly hexing him silly.
"Are you sure?" She asked in both excitement and concern.
"Are you a nerd?" The reply came in a sarcastic tone.
She scowled at the insult. Hermione Granger is smart, intellectual and a perfectly well-groomed girl. But for the last week, she began to go absolutely bonkers. For one thing, there was Harry, her best friend, who began to sigh more frequently and adopt a slightly longing expression before straightening with a friendly and fake smiling face and going off to whatever class. Hermione hadn't noticed at first but then one absolute miracle changed it all, HARRY STARTED STUDYING. That was her definite territory and with Harry's sudden interest in studying, Hermione knew something was up. So she did the only thing she could think of...
Snog Ron? No, don't be ridiculous, she does that without thinking, she had gone to Luna Lovegood...
Who had in turn arranged an appointment with Pansy Parkinson for the two of them to chat.
It was awkward at first, then slowly became a small gossip conversation on cute coupling and signs of such. Most of it centered around Harry and Draco.
"I kind of figured, I mean, Harry was always grumbling about Malfoy. Practically obssessed if you ask me. But it was just so suggestive when Draco followed after Harry out of the Great Hall that one time. Are you absolutely sure they aren't dating?"
"Wish I could say no, but Draco's face so-so impassive when I asked him about the marriage. I would have thought he would at least get a little bit defiant or something. The man is so uptight about everything, feels like he needs to get someone who'd at least be able to knock him out of his cycle."
"Oh and Harry's just all aloof and distant. He's practically going though everything without any care. That boy needs some serious focus at least on something that matters."
"If I remember it right, Draco goes out to look at the stars every week. It used to be every weekend, but it's turned into everyday for the past months. And just last week, he came back with this blue flower in his hand, he wouldn't even let Blaise touch the thing. I heard from Theo that he looks at it every night before he goes to bed."
"...Wait, secretly going out every night?" The Gryffindor's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates.
"Yeah, why?"
"Harry's been doing that too! He leaves every night and whenever I ask him about it all he answers with is star-gazing."
Pansy's eyes mimicked Hermione's. "You don't think..."
"I do." The other said firmly.
"But...Draco hasn't left for star-gazing since last week..."
"Same with Harry."
"They're fighting." The Slytherin deducted and Hermione nodded, "And probably over something stupid."
"We need to get them back together. Harry's practically a ghost in a the castle right now."
"And Draco's been sneering at all of us, more than usual." Pansy giggled suddenly, although it sounded quite wicked. "So we need to get them back together, for the sake of our own lives."
"Truce?" Hermione suddenly asked, holding out her hand. "Until they get together?"
Pansy stared at the Gryffindor's hand for a moment before reluctantly grasping it. "Truce. For Draco's sake."
When Harry climbed up the stairs to the astronomy tower he'd been shocked. There stood Draco Malfoy, his crush of nearly two years sleeping against one of the walls. He'd first thought, it'd been his mind playing tricks, but even after the endless amount of eye and glasses rubbing, the blonde was still there. The raven then decided he should probably head back down, quietly slip out of sight before Draco woke up to see him. Suddenly choosing against it, he moved closer to the Malfoy heir, just hoping to take the boy down to the Slytherin rooms. Accidentally tripping on a rock that was placed there (Hermione: teehee), Harry fell into Draco's lap...face first.
Panicking, the Gryffindor quickly pushed against the floor to get his face away, only to find himself inches away from Draco's face.
A waking dragon is a dangerous one, is what they learned in class. Now, Harry found the lesson quite right as he backed away from the still-asleep form.
No words were said as Harry slowly moved back to Draco.
No sounds were made as Harry slowly leaned in to make sure of Draco sleeping.
No thoughts were heard as Harry slowly licked his dry lips.
A sudden shout rang out before Harry could register what else was happening.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" He could bet that the dungeons were ringing with that shout as he was suddenly pushed against one of the walls with his hands held high above him by another hand.
"You little minx." The person, Draco...Draco? Harry's mind returned to working order as he squirmed against the grip.
"Let me go, Malfoy." Harry tried to hiss angrily, but all he could hear were the words spoken in a breathy tone, near pleading.
"No," Draco replied quickly, the Slytherin's leg pushed itself in between Harry's, widening the raven's stance. "You're not getting away from me this time."
Harry could barely register anymore of the blonde's words as he began to rain kisses on the Gryffindor's face, "Good Merlin, did you really think I would go out star-gazing every night? I only did that to make sure I could see you without having a sneer. Did you really think I was going to fall asleep with you around, smiling so innocently? Gods, you just make me want to corrupt you so much." He sucked on Harry's collarbone, causing mewls of pleasure to come from the raven's mouth.
"D-Draco..." Harry moaned, arching his back.
"Hush, love." He nipped at the smaller boy's ear before continuing. "When you kissed me, it just made me want you so much more. But did you even think to come back? No, because you just stopped coming. You left me there, high and dry, with that blue flower of desire. I've been thinking of so many ways to get back at you for it. Even Snape's had enough of me for the year. I swear I would have tied you up and locked us in a broom closet if you would just talk to me."
"Draco please!" Harry gasped, writhing in pleasure. Anything to get the blonde to move, anything to just release his hands.
The Slytherin Prince ignored it. "I'm through waiting now, I can't take any of this for any longer or I'm going to explode. Harry, I love you dammit, and if you even think for a second that I'm lying, I'm going to-"
Harry forced his head to lean up to the blonde and kiss him. As he pulled back, he smiled lovingly, "I love you too Draco."
Draco was in heaven, strange when the fire in him demanded he take the boy right then and there. "Didn't I say you're not getting away from me?" He leaned down and pressed his lips firmly, hungrily to Harry's. The hand above loosened as he wrapped his arms around the smaller boy's waist. As Harry's hands were finally released, he found himself winding them into the blonde hair, tangling them as he tried to press Harry closer.
"Oh Merlin, Draco. I love you so much." He whimpered as their kissing grew more heated.
"You owe me, Harry. I'm going to need you to make up for the sleepless nights." Draco breathed into Harry's ear.
Harry smiled them, panting slightly with a flush on his cheeks. "Then I'd better get right on it." And with that, he tugged Draco's mouth right back to him.
Hermione hi-fived Pansy as they quietly left the Astronomy Tower. "That was so hot."
Pansy nodded excitedly. "And look, I took pictures!" She held up a camera for the Gryffindor to see. "We can sell these to the others. A Galleon for one! We'll be rich!"
Hermione was thoughtful on another subject, "The Slytherin and Gryffindor Princes, finally together at last!"
"You realize the betting rounds are finally over..."
"Of course, I bet 5 Galleons on Harry and Draco last year."
Pansy looked embarrassed suddenly, "I bet Blaise 100..."
Hermione's eyes widened, "100 Galleons?!"
Pansy flushed then her grin widened, "That's right, and I won!"
"You realize this never would have ended if it weren't for that Blaue Blume and the kiss?"
Pansy nodded, "Of course, but Blaue Blume are rare. I've only heard them appearing in Germany...I wonder how there was one in Hogwarts.
SOMEWHERE ELSE ON THE SCHOOL GROUNDS
"WHERE THE HELL IS THE FLOWER FOR MS. NORRIS!"
That's the end of that. Wrote it pretty late last night and didn't have time to check for mistakes. Is late now for school as I am posting this as quick as I can. For those that are waiting for Taught to be Gray. You might have to wait a little longer, I just got the Third Year done and am now writing Fourth and Fifth Year as soon as possible.
Possibly might write a rated M part if a lot of people ask for it.
Going to post another poll for my other Story, Taught to be Gray.
Review, favorite, follow. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed!
