Chapter 2!

Romance Begins!

After Potions Class, Draco was then again pursued! After being run down near the main hallways, his former buddies beat the snot out of him!

"Uh! Stop it!" Draco pleaded.

"This what you get for betraying us!" Big Goyle said, kicking Draco.

"B**ch!" Alex Crabbe said, kicking Draco as well.

"Gaaa!" Draco uttered, screaming in pain.

"Hey that's enough!"

There was Harry pointing his wand at the 2 former friends of Draco. The two smirked and stopped.

"You lucked out this time Mouth, Ha-ha!"

"So long Draco Pukes!"

The two Sytherin men left, leaving Draco on his knees spiting up blood. Goyle's older brother Gabs was his best pal, after what had happened, he blamed Draco for Goyle's death. Ever since then, he would always seek Draco out. Once he didn't care for blood lines, everyone went on Gabs side, giving the over grown asshat a chance to wail on Draco. As for Alex Crabbe, he also blamed Draco for Vincent's Death—when in reality it was Vincent's own doing—accidentally killing himself with the Fiendfyre during the battle of Hogwarts.

Harry helped the beaten wizard back to his feet.

"Shit that hurt, I hate them all!" Draco belted in anger.

Harry frowned and pulled out his wand. "Did they break anything?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, think my nose is broken." Draco said, holding the dorsum of his nose. Harry nodded and waved his wand "Cartilage repairs" Crack! Draco's nose painfully went back into place.

"Ah son of a bitch!" Draco cried.

"Feeling better?" Harry asked, tucking his wand away.

"Uggh, a little. I think I need to visit the hospital just to make sure." Draco replied.

Harry nodded and helped Draco to the Hospital Wing.

School Hospital Wing…..

"Well your all patched up Draco, be careful when going through doors and such."

"Yes, thanks nurse."

Later… that night….

"Draco, why didn't you just tell her you were beaten up?" Harry asked.

"I can't, I must endure my punishments in silence." Draco replied, crossing his arms.

"It's not good to get your face bashed in all the hours of the day." Harry pointed out.

"Aww Harry, are you worried about me?" Draco said with a snide smile.

"In a way, I guess I am." Harry said smiling.

"Tsk, why? I made all 5 years here at Hogwarts a living hell for you, why do you suddenly care?" Draco asked, as they headed out of the Hospital Wing.

"Like I said Draco, everyone deserves a second chance." Draco smiled and folded his arms behind his head replying. "Right, I almost forgot."

"Let's go, I'll walk you to Hagrid's hut." Harry said.

"Sure, sure." Draco replied, waving nonchalantly.

Since the two were beyond minor age, they could wonder through the castle without getting into trouble. Harry himself already graduated so he had more freedom than anyone else in the castle besides Ron and Hermione. After going outside, they headed down the hill toward Hagrid's hut down below. Draco then knocked on the door, no one there.

"Hmm, seems the big lug is not here." Draco commented.

"Ah, let me check the map." Harry said, as he pulled out his map the twins gave him back then. He whispered 'I solemnly swear I am up to no good.' Ink of the map showed and Harry scanned through it.

"Oh he's in the court yard, let's wait for him." Harry said, while whispering 'Mischief Managed'—putting away the map.

"Wow, sweet map Harry." Draco said with a smile.

"Uhh, you called me by my first name." Harry commented, blushing lightly.

"Uh! Did I? Whoops."

Draco said, as he opened the hut and went inside. Harry smiled and followed suit, closing the door behind himself. Draco sat on his own cot in the corner and Harry sat on Hagrid's usual rugged chair. Draco smiled and scooted over on his cot speaking. "Come sit, I won't bite like I use to, Ha-ha!" Harry rolled his eyes and sat beside Draco replying. "Was that a joke?" "Oohh, I see Mr. Potter is able to make come backs now." Draco commented.

Harry smiled and waited for Hagrid's return. Draco pondered Harry for a while, he then thought… "Potter, close your eyes for a minute." "Why? You going to do something wicked-" "Just do it, and turn to me as well." Draco interrupted. Harry looked at the blonde and raised his eye brow in a confused manor and did what the Slytherin asked him to do. Draco smirked and sat closer. "I want to try something Potter, so whatever happens, do not move a muscle."

"Draco-"

"Don't move ok?" Draco interrupted again, asking Harry not to move.

"W- Fine…" Soon Harry felt Draco's breath on his, he felt Draco's bottom lip on his as well. He knew what the blonde was doing, but for some strange reason Harry did not stop him. He couldn't move a muscle from shock! Instead, he let Draco in, moving closer to Draco. Once their lips met, Harry had no idea how warm Draco was. As they kept kissing, their breathing increased and their hands explored each other without knowing. Harry gripped Draco's green scarf in his hand, Draco gripped Harry's jacket firmly. With so much pleasure and confusion, the two pulled away and put their forehead's together to catch their breath. Draco gulped, and spoke softly.

"What happened? Why did I do that?"

Harry, blushing immensely, answered him. "I- I am not sure…."

They pulled away, still blushing. Just then Hagrid stepped in. He blinked in confusion, wondering why the two young adults were both beat red.

"What is wrong with you boys? You look like you's twos came out a sauna or something."

"It's nothing Hagrid, Draco, meet me after Potions class again tomorrow." "Uhh- sure."

Harry nodded and looked at Draco, telling him this isn't over. Draco looked down and smiled.

At the Gryffindor House, Harry laid there in silence playing with his bottom lip. Ron, was trying to cover up love marks from Hermione. "Man, not even this dragon eye cover up is going to get rid of these." "Just use your scarf until they go away."

Harry said, rolling his eyes. Ron frowned and sat on his usual bed in the corner. "What's with you Harry? You've been awfully quiet tonight." "I'm fine, let's just get some sleep." Harry replied, turning over in his bed.

"Uhh, right, yeah." Puzzled, Ron turned down the lamp and pulled the blanket over himself. Harry sighed and drifted off into slumber.

Potions Class….

"Ok students, remember this potion for next week's class exams!"

As everyone burst out of the room, Draco and Harry were the last ones to leave. Harry led the way. As the twosome walked through the Green houses and outside again, Draco wondered where on earth they were going.

"Hey Potter, where are we going?" Draco asked.

"Draco, never mess with someone's hormones, especially mine." Harry replied.

The young Slytherin adult smiled, and caught up with Harry; ready to go at it once again.

Quidditch Field… Under the newly built stands….

Harry and Draco's second encounter was really intense this time, as their tongues were in one another's mouths. Dinner time was approaching, but their hormones were too railed up, as they were moaning and groaning. Draco licked and kissed Harry's neck, making him moan.

"Neh, hey don't leave any marks." Harry said. "N-Sorry, I just can't seem to stop." Draco said, as he kept kissing Harry's neck. "Then don't stop." Harry replied.

Draco smiled and they kept making out…. They were both feeling really good now, as they wished they could go further. Draco showed that desire by putting his hand slightly up Harry's plain white shirt. While this felt good, the two young wizards had no idea this would last up to 10 years.

Great Hall….

The two wizards came back satisfied, they smiled and parted to eat at their own tables.

Harry tied up his scarf tight, to hide a small yet visible mark. He sat down with his friends and ate with them, he thought about Draco all day; what was he going to do? He loved Ginny and wanted her to be the mother of his children, yet, when he is with Draco; his heart beats fast. Harry was falling for Draco, his former enemy and rival. 'This is bad.' Harry thought. 'I need to marry Ginny, not Draco!' he thought once again, turning his head down, trying to hide the tears.

October…..

Harry was helping re build when Draco came up behind him. "Surprise." "Wah!"

When Harry turned around, he saw Draco wearing sunglasses.

'Who wears sun glasses in rainy weather? 'Harry thought. "Hey, why in merlin's beard are you wearing sunglasses?" Harry asked, pointing to Draco's sunglasses.

"Why? They do something for you?" Draco said in a dirty way.

Harry snatched them, exposing a scratch and a black eye. Draco was mangled again….

"Draco! They got you again didn't they?!" Harry said, shouting a bit.

"Shhh! don't spread it around!" Draco said, taking the shades and putting them on again. .

"Draco, this has to stop!" Harry said.

"No! I have to take every beating, I deserve it after all." Draco replied.

Harry rolled his eyes at the comment and sat a rock down with his wand. "Professor, were going for a walk." "Sure Potter, take a break." "Thanks."

Harry and Draco walked around the castle, rekindling their memories when they quarrelled as rivals.

"Good memories of insulting you around here Potter." "Heh, yes, isn't that the spot where Hermione punched you and you cried like a little baby? Ha-ha!" "Oohh you think that's so funny don't you Potter?" Draco said, reacting to Harry's comment. "Draco Malfoy: can't take a joke." "I'm warning you Potter!" "Ha-ha! I am so scared."

As the two were laughing and kidding around, Ron was spying on them. He actually was coming to the Quidditch Field to practice. Seeing them acting like 'Besties' pissed him off. Harry turned around and saw Ron, he sighed. If Ron only knew what was really going on.

"Draco, let's go somewhere in private." Harry said, hinting Ron's presence. Draco looked up and saw the ginger head and nodded. "Yeah, let's go." The two pals with special benefits went into the dark forest to be in private. The place was creepy, but this was the only place the two wizards could be alone. "Jeez, a grown man and I'm still afraid of this place."

Draco said, sitting on the grass. Harry smiled and sat next to him with a reply.

"It's only for a little while, to wait out Ron. He is probably still on the field."

"Yeah, he's really nosey huh?" Draco commented.

"No, he's jealous. He has been like that for as long as I can remember. We'll stay here until he's finished." Harry said.

"Right, so how long do you think this will last?" Draco asked.

Harry blinked in confusion and scratched his ear replying. "How long will what last?"

"Our little sessions…" Draco replied, turning beat red. Harry blushed as well and looked away replying.

"Uhh, I don't know…"

"Well, what if it gets worse Potter?" Draco asked again.

"Huh? What do mean?" Harry replied, still confused at this point.

"What I mean is, what if these sessions of ours go farther then what we are engaging in right now?" Draco asked, referring to the possibility of having sex.

"Draco are you saying that we might-" Harry stopped, as he was too embarrassed to say the word. Harry was still a virgin, as he and Ginny hadn't gone all the way yet.

"Yeah, what will we do then?" Draco asked again, he was a virgin as well still.

"Draco, I don't even have an answer for now, let alone what's up ahead." Harry replied.

Draco sighed and laid on the grass. He had the same feeling for what Harry had for him. He loved Astoria, but he was now falling for Harry.

"This thing we have, it's really bad Potter." Harry nodded and joined him lying on the grass. "Yes, yes it is." Draco rolled on his side and spoke again.

"When I'm around Astoria, its magic! When I am with you, I can't seem to keep my hands to myself."

"Well maybe that's our problem." Harry said, rolling on his side too, facing the blonde.

"What is?" Draco asked.

"Perhaps it is not love, but lust." Draco laughed and snickered. He then put Harry's hand on his chest. "I don't think so, you feel that? That is what I feel when I am around you." Harry blushed.

The young wizard could feel the Slytherin bound Draco's heart beating rapidly. Harry looked away in embarrassment. Draco laughed softly and went into Harry's space bubble, kissing his forehead.

"You know Potter, I think we should go all the way." Harry grumbled and pulled away.

"I don't think it will ever happen." Draco snickered and sat up right replying. "Sure whatever you say."

"Come on, let's get you back to Hagrid's place."

With that, Harry headed toward the brush to exit the dark forest. Draco jumped to his feet and followed suit. Poor Harry, doesn't know what he's in for.
