Summary: Harry and Draco are one of things that Draco needs to fix in the Room of Hidden Things.
"I thought I told you I didn't want to see you."
Draco's eyes were sad as he looked over at Harry's determined face, "if that's how you really feel then I'll leave and never look back. Just say the word, Harry."
Harry remained stoically silent and Draco smiled grimly at him "that's what I thought. I just want to explain –"
"You said when we started this" Harry waved his hand back and forth in the space between them "that what happens in the Room of Hidden Things stays there! And it did and now you're telling me you don't want it! School's nearly over so what was I, Draco? Your fuck buddy? Your fill-in? Your stress release?"
"Harry you've got it wrong. You were never any of those things, besides we both agreed that our relationship should be kept hidden because of your desire for privacy, not mine!"
Taking a deep breath Draco forced himself to calm down getting angry would be counter-productive, he looked over at Harry whose eyes were blazing, his school tie was twisted and his uniform un-tucked and Draco just wanted to sweep Harry up into his arms and kiss him.
"You're right school is ending which is why I suggested that we stopped" he held up a hand to stop any of Harry's protests. "Not that we stopped, I love you Harry and I want us to stop hiding, I want to be able to hold your hand and to kiss you in front of our friends and I want to eat dinner with you and spend the night with you. I want to fall asleep with you in my arms and then I want to wake up next to you and have morning sex and shower sex without worrying about people hearing."
Harry stared at the blond who was looking hopeful but when Harry said nothing Draco turned, shoulders slumped, and headed for the door. The Room changed around him from its usual comfortable bedroom complete with fireplace and large bed to the burnt out shell of the Room where Harry saved Draco.
"What-"
"Draco," the blond turned "I, I saved you. Here."
"I know."
"Let me finish," nodding Draco stayed silent and let Harry speak. "When I saved you I didn't realise that I saved my own salvation. You gave me a reason to live after almost everyone I loved died, even those left standing a part of them died with Fred and Tonks, you know. I guess, I thought that if you and me were just between you and me nothing could die, nothing could be lost we'd just be Harry and Draco."
"We can still be Harry and Draco; just at times we'll have to Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. It'll still be you and me, like it has been this past year. What do you say?" Draco held a pale hand out to Harry who took it immediately and allowed himself to be drawn into Draco's strong embrace, sighing against the firm lips that captured his in a bruising kiss.
