-1Harry's fingers laced with Draco's as he looked over the deli counter. His eyes settled on a cookie and maple-syrup cheesecake set in a blue box.
Draco's eyes followed Harry's, and they lit up immediately, he had always had a certain fondness for cheesecake - and maple syrup, too!
"We'll take this, please," Draco said brightly, pointing to the cheesecake.
"Certainly, how many pieces, sir?" the young female clerk asked as her eyes followed down to the couples locked hands and a mischievous grin fluttered across her lips.
"Err, no, the whole cake," Harry said, grinning sheepishly. "It's for our housewarming," he added, smiling brightly at his boyfriend.
"Oh! Fantastic!" the clerk said with an equally bright smile before tapping her chin in thought. "That'll be £27.90 - but I'll let you have it for £25," she said happily as she started to wrap the large cake.
Draco handed over the muggle bills and started out of the door. This ought to be a party to remember.
Ron looked around the room, there were friends, old and new, teachers, neighbours and family, all to celebrate what some may have called impossible. Harry and Draco were not only partners, they were moving in together, for the second time. They had bought a rather large, modern flat in London and had invited what Ron suspected was every single person they knew for what they promised was the most spectacular party ever.
"Hermione?" Ron asked, glancing around the room. "Where are they?" he glanced around the room once more as his lips curled in confusion.
"Kitchen, I think," she replied, taking another mouthful of the cheesecake.
Meanwhile… in the bedroom
"Mmph, Harry! Lower, lower, yep, that's it, right there!" Draco moaned as Harry's tongue darted over his toned stomach.
"Draco!" Harry whined, unwilling to admit he was enjoying this. "It's our party," he said, rolling his eyes.
"Well!" Draco said poutily. "You shouldn't have suggested licking maple syrup off of me, you knew I'd want it!"
"I said later" Harry said, grinning mischievously.
"And I said now," Draco replied with a grin. He thrust his hips upwards and slowly slipped his hand below the waistband of Harry's boxers. "We'll go back… soon," he said, wiggling his eyebrows slightly.
