"I just don't get it, Ron. After all the hell Malfoy has put us through I should hate him, shouldn't I? But every time I think about him all I can think of is his perfect skin, and hair, and eyes..." Ron cut Harry off.
"Ok, I get it! You think Malfoy's perfect! Don't make me lose my supper, please. Maybe after this war is over you'll have a shot with him. At the moment I'm starved, you you wanna sneak down to the kitchen with me?" Ron asked.
"No thanks, you go," Harry said. He leaned back on his pillow and dozed off. Ron snuck out and was in the entrance hall when he bumped into someone.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there," he said politely.
"Obviously," sneered Pansy Parkinson, a Slytherin girl who had been friends with Malfoy for a long time. She looked him up and down before she spoke again.
"Look um, you can't tell Draco I told you, but he's got it bad for your friend, Harry. I noticed that Harry was watching him in potions today and I wondered if maybe..." she trailed off.
"Yeah," Ron hesitated. " Harry likes Malfoy too. You don't think there's anyway we could set them up, do you?" he asked hopefully.
"You know, there might be," Pansy mused. "But lets go in the kitchen and talk. We can order the house elves not o tell anyone what we're up to." They went into the kitchen and hatched out a plan. All they had to do was get Hermione on board and they'd be all set.
It didn't take much to convince Hermione. So two night later they set their plan into action.
"Draco, I'm hungry, will you come with me to the kitchen, please?" Pansy whined.
"Fine," he said.
'Good' she thought. 'I thought I was gonna have to beg.'
When Pansy and Draco got to the kitchen Harry, Ron and Hermione were already there. Both Harry and Draco felt their hearts give a few extra-loud thumps that they were sure the others could hear.
"Hi guys," Pansy said cheerily to Ron and hermione.
Draco looked at Pansy, and Harry at Ron and Hermione, both quite bewildered.
"We thought Pansy and I could teach you all our rules to a muggle game called 'Truth or Dare.' First everyone has to sit in a circle on the floor." Hermione gestured to blanket nearby and arranged them as had already been agreed. Going clockwise they were t sit like this: Draco, Harry, Pansy, Hermione, and Ron, Now Pansy took over.
"We'll take which go clockwise around the circle and ask a random person 'Truth or Dare?', but it doesn't really matter because you have to go in a certain order. First Dare, then Truth, then Dare again. Get it? Good, I'll start. Harry, Truth or Dare?" she grinned.
"But you said I have to pick Dare!" he he squeaked, now very confused.
"That's right," Pansy smirked. "So you and Draco have to French kiss until I say you can stop!" she giggled. Both boys stared at her for a moment, then looked at each other. Each boy gave the other a hesitant nod to show it was ok with him.
They leaned froward and pressed their lips together. Then Draco parted his lips slightly and ran his tongue gently along Harry's lips, silently asking permission to carry out the Dare. Harry parted his lips and leaned forward even more. Their tongues were now running over each other, pressing together, wrestling for more.
"You can stop now if you want," Pansy whispered. They didn't want to stop, but not to long after she said it they did.
Both boys were slightly out of breath as they looked around at their smiling friends. They al knew that their meant they wanted to be together. Hermione broke the silence,
"So does this mean that you two are going to start dating now and stop complaining to us about not being able to have each other?" she asked hopefully.
Harry and Draco looked at each other. Draco hesitantly placed his hand on top of Harry's. Harry looked at their hands for a minute, then turned his own hand palm up and grasped his new boyfriends hand firmly.
"It does as far as I'm concerned," Harry whispered. Draco smiled, he never wanted to let go of Harry's hand. He never wanted this amazing feeling to go away. He felt so safe with Harry. But they both knew they would have to leave soon.
"Meet me in the Room or Requirement tomorrow night, please?" Draco asked.
"Of course. I'll see you there at 11 o'clock," Harry replied as he kissed the back of Draco's hand. Harry felt Draco shiver at the touch and smiled. Draco smiled too.
All five of them stood up. Hermione folded the blanket and set it on a nearby chair for Dobby to get. Harry took his boyfriend's waist and pulled him close. They hugged and shared one more passionate kiss before leaving.
Both went to bed with a smile on their face and a huge weight lifted from their shoulders. And neither thought eleven o'clock could come fast enough.
