A message of Love by mewmar

Harry had decided. If he didn't do it now, he couldn't do it any other time. He had finally been given the courage. He'll declare his feelings to Draco Malfoy hoping he wouldn't be hurt too badly. He couldn't keep them in himself any longer. But in case it turned out well, which he hoped, they could get together at Christmas and be together for Valentines.
He had a free period between Charms and Potions so he got out his map and Located Malfoy. To his joy he was alone walking in a corridor not so far. He took the moving stairs and arrived there in no time with his hyper and adrenaline based energy.
He arrived there panting for breath and shouted "Malfoy, wait!"
Surprisingly Draco stopped then looked back and waited for him. Then when Harry was within earshot said "What Potter, I don't have much time." With a bored tone but that also held suspense.
Harry quickened his strides and with one big step was in front of Draco.
"Listen" he began "I have something important to tell you, but can we go somewhere more private." He finished while looking around in the corridor.
"What thing between us is so important that we need to go somewhere more private?" Draco asked as if expecting Harry to attack him and maybe in another situation he had reasons to but not now. Harry continued glaring at him until he gave in.
They arrived at a small rectangular opening in a room behind a statue and they went behind it.
"Spill Potter." Draco almost spit but again that certain anxiety and excitement was evident in his voice. At least to someone who's been observing him for more than six consecutive years.
"Well first of all Happy Christmas." Harry said trying to break the ice which seemed to be an over the top iceberg right now.
"Well same to you, now spill." Draco persisted. Sweat began to appear on his hairline.
"Well I have feeling for you." Harry said hurriedly.
"You mean you came up with another phrase to express your hatred towards me?" Draco said venomously.
Harry looked put out and he added quickly. "No, no. I mean I love you." Then he turned his face expecting a punch or a slap when he admitted his confession of love, he didn't expect a simple shocked "Oh".
When he turned his head again to see Draco's reaction what he saw was a questioning face.
Then his face morphed to one of anger. Unexpectedly Draco said "You me we could have shagged long ago. And here I was thinking I was alone in my misery."
"What?" Harry asked shocked.
"Come on cowboy you have a lot of making up to do for not confessing earlier." He grabbed Harry by his front shirt and dragged him to the room of requirement.
"Me? What do you mean me? You could have done it." Harry exclaimed with exasperation.
"Well since you'll get the prize you have to work a bit for it." Draco answered mysteriously.
"Prize? What Prize?" Harry asked like a kid at Christmas, which he was.
"You mean you don't want to fuck me?" Draco asked.
With the mention of the two magic words Harry was to one to grab Draco's hand and drag him to the room then wishing for a nice comfortable and romantic room and pacing three times and then all but dragged Draco to the bid, heart-shaped bed.
