September 10
It was pretty late at night, around 2 am, Draco couldn't fall asleep. His mind fled with a thousand thoughts. His parents, well, mostly his father, did not take him coming out as gay very well. His family are the only people who knows about his sexuality. He was happy to be back at Hogwarts, where he can sort out his problem without being disowned by his family. Pansy had admitted her feelings for Draco, saying that she had liked him for a very long time, but Draco rejected her, and things didn't go well. So he had lost his best friend and had been (basically) disowned by his father. He grabbed a heavy blanket, wrapped it around his shoulders, and took off to the kitchen to get some water.
After about 3-4 minutes he got to the kitchen, he gasped silently as he saw potter drinking hot chocolate, Harry heard him and turned around quickly. "What are you doing here, Potter? Drinking away your sorrow?" Draco tried to sound tough, but showed a bit of shyness. Harry had recently broke up with Ginny for who knows what, and Draco had been happy about that ever since, and he was very confused why.
"I come down here every night, Malfoy. Please I don't wanna fight right now" Harry said, facing the fireplace.
"ok, good. I didn't want to either." Harry's head looked up in surprise to Draco's reply. Draco grabbed a stool-like chair, and sat about 2 feet away from Harry's chair. Harry tried not to make eye contact.
"Can I say something?" Harry asked shyly, in a kind voice. "It's a free country, go ahead." Draco replied, sipping the cup of water he came down for.
"um, this might sound weird but, I regret not shaking your hand the first day of Hogwarts." Draco looked up at Harry, his cheeks started to become pink. "Because now, after a few years, I realize that you would have been a good friend to have, your not as much of a bully as you used to be." Harry, being friendly as he is, held out his hand, now Draco's cheeks were flaming with red,
Draco stared at the hand for a moment in awe, He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, then he shook his head back into reality, and took Harry's hand.
Harry and Draco smiled and looked away.
"Since Sirius died, I've had no one really to talk to about this. Ron won't take it well, and Hermione might blab."
Draco didn't know where he was going with this.
"I broke up with Ginny for a reason, I had no interest in her. She's like a sister to me. I never wanted to hurt her but I.. I broke up with Ginny because, I-I'm coming out as gay."
Draco looked into his eyes, seeing the bright emerald shimmer in embarrassment. Draco realized that he had been wanting to talk to someone about this for awhile.
"That's fine, a lot of people are gay. I just don't understand why you would decide to come out to me first out of everyone." Draco replied. He had never had a conversation with Potter before.
"I needed to get this off my chest, and if I had another frien-" Harry caught himself. "If I had someone else to talk to, then it would make me feel better. and you looked like you needed a friend too.
Draco scoffed with a smile and looked down, trying to hide the fact that he did want a friend, especially with Potter. Crabbe and Goyle were not good friends.
Draco's heart fluttered when he finally, FINALLY noticed that Harry's cheeks were also very red this whole time, he came to a conclusion, he had major feelings for Potter.
"Potter, I-" Draco stopped as harry started to talk. "Harry, call me Harry. Draco gazed into his eyes, then at his lips. Draco scooted his chair a bit closer to Harry's chair, so he could whisper.
"I also came out as gay in the beginning of August." Harry blushed hard as Draco moved further away from Harry.
Harry grabbed Draco's shirt and pulled him in for a quick, but passionate kiss.
They broke away staring into each others eyes.
"Oh thank Merlin!" Draco said as he fiercely cupped Harry's face and kissed him so passionately, like he had been wanting to do this for a long time. Harry felt shivers going down his spine as Draco leaned closer
They finally slowly pulled away, and looked into each others eyes. "Harry, you, l-like me?" Draco's heart was beating as fast as a humming bird's wings, and as loud as a drum. He realized what he had done with Harry, and let go of his cheeks, feeling embarrassed. He stood up, still looking at Harry.
"Always did." Harry replied, smiling.
"Wait, you always did?"
"Ever since the last week of school last year." Harry replied.
"After all this time you've been hiding from me?" Draco felt bad for him, knowing the reason why he had kept his feelings away. He had been a huge bully.
"I was planning on telling you when I got the chance, and here we are. I didn't tell you sooner because at the time it did not seem possible for you to have the same feelings for me."
Draco then felt guilty for all the times he had bullied him, embarrassed him, and made him hurt inside.
"Look, Harry I'm so sorry, for everything."
"You've changed, Draco. You're not that kind of person anymore. Forget the past." Harry's words were very therapeutic.
"So, does this mean were together? I mean.. we both like each other, w-we can keep it a secret, So you don't have to tell weasel and brains." Draco said smiling back at Harry.
"First of all, they have names, Draco. Second, I think that would be a great idea." Harry scooted over in the wide chair he was in, and Draco sat down with him, still showing slight signs of shyness. Harry went in for a kiss.
Draco pulled away for a moment. "Is everything all right?" Harry asked.
Draco just stared into his eyes. "oh yea yea I'm fine I just, this just happened kind of fast. I come down here for water, I see you, we both come out as gay then start snogging. I just never would have expected you would like me back. Its just the best night of my life." Draco slipped his fingers into Harry's soft and messy hair, Harry smiled. Draco went in for a kiss, Harry's mouth tasted like chocolate and cinnamon. Draco Bit Harry's bottom lip, asking for permission to entrance, and he was granted. The kiss became fierce as they fought for Dominance.
They quickly pulled away in fear when they heard the door open. There stood someone Harry did not expect.
