Harry and Draco Proposals
A marriage misunderstanding
Walking through that house that he and Harry shared, Grimmauld place, Draco started day dreaming. He imagined that he and Harry were married in a little church on a hill, with lilies all around...
Perhaps it was the nature of his thoughts that caused him to hear Hermione and Harry in the next room mention 'marriage'. Curious, Draco the room and could not have been more shocked by what he saw.
Harry was down on one knee facing Hermione and holding a diamond ring. "Will you marry me?" he said soft and tender. Hermione broke into a smile and, saying yes, threw her arms around Harry.
Hermione glanced over Harry's shoulder and saw Draco in the doorway looking angry and upset. "Oh", she said, "Draco!"
Harry sun round at Hermione's words and started to speak but he was cut off by Draco.
"How could you Harry? Hermione, you are one of my greatest friends..." Tears were streaming down his face by this point.
"Draco listen-" Harry began.
"No, you listen! Harry I love you and I thought u felt the same way! Hermione...I would give anything to be in your place, to be marrying Harry." With that, Draco ran from the room and locked himself in the
bathroom.
"Draco," it was Harry's anxious voice outside the door, "you've got it all wrong."
"I don't see how that's possible! I saw you ask her to marry you, what have I got wrong?!" came the angry reply from the other side of the door.
"Draco", it was Hermione's voice this time. "Harry didn't mean it when he asked me to marry him and I didn't mean it when I accepted, when I said yes."
"What?" said the confused from within the bathroom.
"I had asked Hermione to help me to practice how I would say it. How I would ask...you." Harry explained in a nervous, trembling voice.
Slowly the door opened and Draco appeared, grey eyes widened with shock. "What...?" he stammered.
"I want you to marry me." Harry said simply. "Is it true what you said to Hermione? That you would give anything to be the one marrying me?"
Draco nodded very slowly, fresh tears in his eyes. No longer sad tears, but happy ones.
"I love you Draco Lucius Malfoy, will you marry me?" Harry asked with haste.
Draco nodded again, faster this time. Next, he threw himself into Harry's joyously receiving arms.
"I'm so sorry", Draco whispered a few moments later, "I guess I jumped to conclusions."
"It's alright. I must have looked quite strange, me asking Hermione to marry me!" Harry laughed in reply.
Hermione giggled, "Well at least it's all turned out right!"
"Yes", Harry breathed into the blonde's hair. "It's all turned out right."
