The Princes

If you were to ask anyone in the Wizarding world, whether they knew them personally or just heard about them; the answer would be the same. They would tell you that the Golden boy, the Gryffindor prince was 'the boy who lived twice', Harry James Potter. He was the one who defeated Voldermort at age 17 then went back to finish school. In everyone's mind, Harry Potter could do absolutely no wrong. But, as good as Harry Potter was and is expected to be still; no one expected much of Draco Malfoy, not even his parents or teachers. Draco Lucius Malfoy was known as the bad-boy Slytherin prince. He acted like he didn't have a care in the world and could care less about his family, dating, schoolwork, or even his future. That is where our story begins with Harry wanting to escape and Draco just wanting to be himself. Let's read on to see how that works out for our two young heroes.

Harry's POV:

Harry Potter was in the Owl wing writing a letter to his honorary godfather, Remus Lupin and his own godson, Teddy. Even though Teddy was not even a year old yet and couldn't understand the letter, Harry still liked to keep in touch of what was happening in Teddy's life. Today, the boy who lived twice was dressed casually in an old Weasley sweater you could tell had been worn many times over the years. Paired with that was a pair of muggle jeans that had holes and ink stains on them. As he was tying the letter to Hedwig and wishing him off, he failed to notice someone who had been in the Owl wing the entire time.

"Hello Potter," he turned around to see Draco put away his book, stand up, and come over speak and to him.

"Malfoy, I didn't see you there. How long have you been up here?" Harry asked surprised.

"About an hour, it's peaceful up here." Draco answered.

"That's a long time in a room filled with owls, poop, and feathers. If you want peace, there are other places to find it at." Harry told him.

"I know but I am waiting for a response anyway. All of the spots including the library seem to all be filled with snogging couples right now." Draco told him.

"How have you been?" Harry asked suddenly nervous. He hadn't really been alone with Draco since the night of the Battle of Hogwarts although they had agreed on a truce before they had come back to Hogwarts for their eighth year. They had put their childhood feud to rest and had called a ceasefire and proceeded to ignore each other. Although, they still referred to each other by their last names though, as old habits died hard.

"Good" Draco answered smiling politely.

"That's good. I'm glad you're doing well." Harry told him.

"How have you been?" Draco asked him.

"Great. As you've no doubt have heard by now, Ron and Hermione started dated and are driving me crazy with lovey-dovey nonsense."

"Uh, the Weasel and the know-it-all; not surprised at all. But, honestly I still have my doubts whether or not their relationship will survive." Draco told him.

"No, not really. I'm just glad they finally stopped arguing and skating around each other. I am sad that it took a war for them to finally admit their feelings for each other. I have my own doubts on their relationship, they still fight a lot and some of them get pretty viscious which is actually why I snuck off so I could be alone up here. They got in another fight about Hermione spending too much time studying and Ron not enough time." Harry said while still laughing at Draco's comment.

Just then Draco's owl, Hyperion and Harry's owl, Hedwig both came flying through the window at high speed toward them at the same time. It looks like even their owls liked to compete against each other. With the suddenness of the movement, Harry and Draco both lost their balance and landed on top of one another.

"Draco, Are you okay?" Harry asked from his place on top.

"Fine but can you get off, please?" Draco answered him.

"Sorry" Harry said as he tried to get up.

"Potter, for Merlin's sake please, stop wiggling and just get up already." Draco told him. He was beginning to experience an uncomfortable hardening of his groin and he didn't quite understand why.

"Okay." Harry said as he tried once more to get up unsuccessful but fell back down again, this time with his face landing on top of Draco's.

"Sorry." he whispered.

"Uh-huh." Draco answer whispered back as he met Harry's lips with his own. They continued kissing oblivious to the world around them until their owls pecked them to remind them about the unopened letters. Harry pulled away then and stood up.

"Thank you for the company, Harry. Now, I have to go." Draco said as he stood up to and hastened to grab his letter and rushed out of the Owl wing.

"Bye Draco." Harry whispered after him. That was an unexpected development which only made him curious on what it would bring.
