I Do not own Harry Potter or anything that is inside its world. They belong to J.K. Rowling (JKR). I own OC characters that would help J.'s characters throughout the story. No profit was made from the writing of this story.
I am in college and almost done yay me. I am going in Graphic Design. So my readers, I will upload the chapters but might take time getting them out because of school. Just one more semester and I will be done. Yay it will be posted and it will be good, so no worries. ^_^

*******Ch2******
After the war had ended Draco and his group of Slytherin friends were trying to put themselves in better standing with the Wizarding world. It had been five years since then. Some of the Slytherins didn't side with Voldemort in the end and that's where Draco and his group fell after Albus Dumbledore died. Draco was forced to kill Albus because he was protecting his mother. Draco's father didn't care because Lucius was the right hand man to the evil snake, Voldemort, after he was killed. Lucius Malfoy was now safely locked up in Azkaban. Draco's mother died two years after her husband went to jail. The year before her death she was forced to stay inside the house for one year. She was so depressed about the family being broken up and how lonely she felt that she died in her sleep. Draco was heartbroken, but pushed through thinking that someday he would find someone to share his life and they'd make it better; but for now he was stuck at a bar with his friends and his old rival Harry Potter. He was happy for his best friend Blaise getting married, he never thought it would be a Gryffindor but the times had changed for the better.
He just wanted his friend to be happy. He found a very smart young lady who could challenge him if need be and she was a beautiful woman as well. Draco thought Hermione was ok. He never really looked into girls while at school; that much was because he used all his energy to make Harry and his friends miserable. It always made his day. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help it. What could he say, he had fun doing it and seeing the look on Harry's face all mad and storming off mumbling about how he'd get him for this. He was amazed he didn't break unlike Ron Weasley who'd punched him in the face. Then thinking back again Hermione punched him in the face too. Another minute went by and he remembered Ron's father had punched his father. He chuckled to himself at that. His father got what was coming to him. (AN: Basically the Weasley family and one Granger has beaten up the Malfoy's. Hey, hand to hand combat is not bad when you think about it plus magic is pretty good to have on your side.)
At least Harry didn't punch him in the face; they just threw hexes at one another. He came back to the present wishing the happy couple a long and healthy marriage. Everyone had a drink in their hand. The Leaky Cauldron was a fun place to be with friends. It also doubled as the entrance of Diagon Alley, and indirectly to Knockturn Alley. Tom was the landlord, but passed away leaving the place to Neville Longbottom. He'd married Luna making her landlady of The Leaky Cauldron.
"Congratulations to Hermione and Blaise on their engagement!" Everyone cheered raising their Butterbeer and Blishen's Firewhisky. The all drank it down smiling at each other. Harry ordered Blishen's Firewhisky mixed with Cherry syrup and Hermione did as well.
"I always thought Hermione would end up with Ron," Pansy said sipping her Butterbeer. Everyone was thinking the same thing than looked at Ron. His face turned red.
"What! She and I had a talk and decided it was for the best if we saw other people," He said looking away. Pansy and Harry thought right thinking she'd had enough of his childish behavior. Harry was pleased she chose someone else. He didn't know Blaise, but if Hermione looked so happy with him he was fine with it.
"The engagement ring is really beautiful," Pansy said grabbing Hermione's hand to look at the 10 carat diamond ring. The ring had a heart shape in the middle surrounded by two small diamonds on each side.
"Why thank you," Hermione beamed. "He did a good job picking it out. I am so lucky."
"Yeah, Blaise only gets the best for the person he cares about the most," Pansy said with a knowing look that came from years of friendship with the dark Slytherin across the table.
Even Neville wondered how this happened, but was glad Hermione was happy. He was married to Luna Longbottom née Lovegood. They were so cute together already having their first born son two years after the war. Their son was at home with Neville's uncle being looked after. The little boy had Neville's hair and Luna's eyes. He was happy to have his own family after his was destroyed by Voldemort. Now he could rebuild like so many others living out their dreams and lives with the people or things they love most.
"Aw the signs of the stars see this marriage as a good thing," Luna said with a smile. "Mars is being good with Venus so the date you chose will be perfect." No matter how many times she'd said things like that it still sounded crazy.
"Hey, Ron how's what's her…..oh Lavender doing?" Dean asked. Seamus tried not to laugh at Ron. It was hard not too though. "I heard that she too has a big family, so you'll fit in nicely." He had a smirk on his face. Ron didn't catch it which was good because he was too busy barking at Draco for something.
"She's doing well. We went shopping yesterday for her family picnic tomorrow," He said taking a shot of Blishen's Firewhisky and stopped arguing with Draco. "Ah I am not looking forward to that."
"Come on Ron I think you will be fine, besides you have a large family and so does she. You'll be fine," Harry said trying to cheer him up. He'd been going out with Lavender two months now. She was so shocked that he came back to her of his own free will.
Draco just sat back watching everyone and just observing them until he caught the sight of Harry looking at him strangely. Harry was caught by the blonde and looked away quickly blushing. This made the blonde arch his left eyebrow. He looked behind him seeing there was nothing but a guy sitting at the table with some drink talking to a woman. She was stirring her tea with the spoon without touching it. He thought that maybe he had never seen someone doing that. He turned around now seeing the girls squeal at the pictures Hermione brought dealing with the wedding. The men just rolled their eyes and talked about work and where their honeymoon would be. An evil but funny idea snuck into Blaise's mind. He grinned at the poor men before him.
"Draco, why don't we see if these men can hold their liquor? How about it guys? Say 3 Galleons and 4 Sickles?" Blaise asked. They all nodded in agreement about the price.
"What liquor are we supposed to drink?" Neville asked.
Blaise looked around the bar when he spotted an old man drinking a shot of White Rat Whisky. He told them he'd be right back and made his way over to the old man. "Hi, my name is Blaise and I was wondering if that drink is as strong as it looks." The old man slowly looked over at the young black man.
"It is. Why do you ask?" He spoke. His voice was raspy with a hint of wisdom when he spoke.
"I'm having a drinking contest with a group of friends and was looking for a strong drink," He said.
"Well you chose well," He grabbed the bottle when he asked the bar tender to show the young man the whisky. The bar tender took out this dusty bottle with a black rat on the front with red and white print with black lettering. Blaise took the bottle and read what it said: "From the cellars of the Warlocks of Zanzibar, we blend our whisky with the finest of ingredients, with a hint of the fires of the Norwegian Ridgeback, our whisky is made to start a flame in the bowels of the coldest belly." After he was done he thanked them both. He came back to the table placing the whisky on the table. "How about White Rat Whisky? Drink three shots and at the end of three you have to drink one glass of Butterbeer. It will be a race," Blaise asked seeing if anyone would take the challenge.
"Why in the world did they name it White Rat whiskey? I will never understand why people name things so strangely," Hermione said.
"That is a good question," Harry replied.
"Maybe the man who made it saw a white rat running around his home while drinking whisky and thought it would be a great name for it," Luna said drinking her Cherry syrup. She didn't like liquor saying it would ruin her ability to sense things. Neville never had a problem with it which made them a perfect couple. They were shocked she knew that. Everyone agreed to the terms except Harry.
"What are you scared Potter?" Draco smirked showing off his pearly white teeth. If you look closer he had little sharp canines.
Oh how Harry would love to show him up but if he ever took a drink or a shot of whisky of any kind he would do some strange stuff and talk funny. That's how Hermione, Luna, Ginny, and Pansy found out about his secret. The ladies kept quiet about it; however he would have to go shopping with them whenever they wanted and play dress up with him. It was a small price to pay to keep people from knowing the Great Hero of the Wizarding world had a crush on Draco Malfoy. He wasn't gay because he only liked and ever had a crush on by his former nemesis. He doesn't think any other man was good looking but the way Draco held himself, his eyes, his smile, and how he was loyal to his friends. That's what caught Harry James Potter by the heart. There was no denying that Draco Malfoy was incredibly attractive, even the girls understood why Harry fell for him well a crush.
"I just don't feel like it and I don't like the taste of whisky you are all drinking," He said firmly.
He had tried it before and it made him spill about his secret and another time he just tried Blishen's Firewhisky he acted funny. Hermione thought with different types of whisky Harry acted differently to each one. It was fun testing them out on Harry when it was just the girls. Lavender wasn't in on these testing sessions nor was she there when Harry spilled that he had a crush on Draco and didn't like women that much. He tried with Ginny, but in the end Ginny told him she found someone else. He was happy about that and they agreed that they were more like siblings than lovers. They didn't trust her because she was the one who drugged Ron back when they went to school. They didn't understand why he went back but as long he was happy with her they were fine with it.
"Are you sure Potter? Last chance to get in on this," Draco announced placing the money in the middle of the table. "I know you can out last Ron here." He pointed making the red head mad.
"I can so out drink Harry any day!" He shouted.
"Right," Draco said rolling his eyes. Ron wouldn't last long even though he had spent time with the red head.
"You guys are hopeless," Harry said trying to calm the red head down. Ron still had trouble trusting Draco and his Slytherin friends. "I'm sure I'm not joining. I will have fun seeing you guys act dumb. Besides my money is on Neville winning or Blaise," Harry laughed at the thought of him winning. It could happen right.
"Your loss, I would've had fun beating you at this, what a shame. Ok let's get down to business," He barked slapping his hands together. "I'm going to clean you all out."
"Your on!" Blaise and Ron shouted.
"Ok then," Neville said.
"You all are going to lose this bet. I wonder what I'll do with the winnings," Dean chuckled.
"I would like to watch this time. I'll place a bet on who will pass out by the end of the game," Seamus stated. It was a good idea to not join the game.
Crabbe and Goyle were not in the game either, because they'd probably have to drag someone home afterwards and the ladies were out from the beginning. They would proudly leave them here until they are sober enough to make it home safely or even better. Blaise signaled the waiter to get them 15 rounds of shots. They each had four in front of them. The White Rat whisky was really strong. Having one was enough but taking three shots of the whisky they were using would be really hard. Then they still had to drink one glass of Butterbeer to finish. All the money was in the middle of the table. Everyone not in participation was betting on the outcome. They all saw how Blaise and Draco could hold their liquor, so it was a tie between them. They were off drinking like mad men.
Blaise was ahead having already finished two but he grabbed his forehead from the rush. The effect was setting in while the rest of contestants were now feeling the effects as well. Now Dean was on his second shot and same with Neville. Ron was a light weight, same as Harry. The money drew him in thinking if he won he could get a gift for his girlfriend. He drank the first shot and he was feeling dizzy, but he tried to get the second shot glass down. Draco finally took down the last shot joining Blaise in the lead. It was neck and neck with them. The Butterbeer was running down their chins while standing up. They thought by doing that it'd make it easier. It was getting closer and closer until Draco slammed his Butterbeer glass on the table making an ahhh sound. Blaise took second making Neville at third, Ron forth and Dean last. Oh Seamus had a good time making fun of them for being so drunk and wasted. He was glad he didn't join because now he could enjoy them being silly and wild. When the night falls and morning comes they would wake up to some good old hangovers.
"I told you P-Potter that I w-would w-w-win," He laughed and was pleased with himself. Harry just rolled his eyes at him smiling at how silly he looked. He thought it was cute grinning like a cat.
"Oh how fun this will be when we have to take them home while they are wasted," Pansy complained and sighed at the troublesome act that would be soon to come. He stood up from her chair looking at the sober people. "Ok, Hermione you can take your fiance home while Luna, you take your husband, Crabbe and Goyle take Dean and Ron home while I leave with some peace."
"Hey, what about Draco?" He shouted. Pansy just smiled making Harry gulp. He knew he had to take him home with him, because Draco lived far away from here and his place was closer. Another reason was she knew Harry liked him, so it was easy to make him take the drunken blonde home. Poor Harry.
He sighed at the thought. The raven didn't want to leave Draco here to fend for himself and he didn't want him to get into trouble. Harry walked over to him trying to grab him. Draco was making it hard for him to catch. He had the money in his pocket stumbling around the Leaky Cauldron in London. Harry finally caught him wrapping his arm around his waist and brought the blonde's arm around his neck. Now everything was set he took him home. Everyone waved good-bye even the drunken ones too. It was too funny seeing them trying to wave without falling down.
****************************XxXxX******************************
Harry and Draco made it to Harry's apartment building with seven flats inside all on the top floor. They took the elevator to the tenth floor. It was a lot better than climbing up the stairs with a drunken person who could do anything at any time which was not good. They made it to his door with the number 717 on a gold plate looking pretty. Slowly he opened his door placing the blonde on the couch. Draco flopped down jumping up and down feeling out the couch.
"You got a nice couch here, Harry," He said rubbing his hands on the surface of the seat cushions.
"Thanks," He slowly said at the random comment. "I'm going to the kitchen to get you something." Harry went into the kitchen to get him some water and a small piece of bread. He came back shocked at what he found almost dropping the drink and food from the sight of Draco in his silk dark gray boxers. He gulped hard blushing at the lovely sight. "Ah this is not good. Calm down Harry he is just drunk. Stay calm." He walked over handing him the drink first then the bread. He took a bite of it making a face. The bread was garlic he had pasta the other day with his female friends. Harry laughed when he made the face and Draco didn't like it. He stumbled his way over to the Raven pushing him back against the wall.
"What's so funny?" He spoke. His slurred words were getting easier to understand.
"You made a face when you took a bite out of the bread," He smiled. "Come on it wa….wasn't th….that b…b…bad," Harry stammered, unable to think clearly with Malfoy so close to him. He just realized that and he was heating up fast. Harry had dreamt of the day when he'd get the chance to kiss Draco Malfoy and not care what others thought, but not like this. The blonde leaned in pressing his lips onto Harry's wanting to enter his mouth. His hands were rubbing on his butt. Harry wanted to moan, yet had to slap himself because Draco wouldn't remember this. His eyes were wide open trying to come back to reality and he pushed Draco back. He looked confused at the loss of warmth. "I will let you sleep on the couch, so don't move until I get you a blanket and pillow." He rushed towards his bedroom and came rushing back with the sleeping stuff.
Harry set up the couch making it confinable for him to sleep on. Draco thanked him covering himself up and was knocked out when he set his head on the pillow. Harry smiled at the sight walking over to the light switch to the living room. He closed his bedroom door touching his lips thinking about what had happened in his living room. "I need some sleep before I can face Draco again." He murmured getting into his PJs which had a little black bird on his T-shirt and long red pants. He placed his glasses on the nightstand and turned off the lights. His bed was very soft making him fall asleep faster. Tomorrow would be very interesting when he woke up having Draco Malfoy in the next room.
