Over the next few days harry was the happiest person alive. Not only did his boyfriend smile secretly at him in the halls, of pull him into an empty classroom for a 5 minute snog session, but he was actually enjoying himself. But with everything in harry's life, happiness only lasted a little bit.
Harry and Draco were laying underneath the big oak tree by the black lake during their break. Their hands intertwined, Draco's head on harry's chest, his knees pulled up. They were the definition of happiness.
"You make me so happy harry" Draco said and harry rubbed his back with his free hand.
"ive never been this lucky Draco. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me." He said, and Draco laughed softly.
"I highly doubt that darling. What about when you found out you were a wizard? Or when you defeated you know who. Surely that has to be higher on your list than me" he said and harry smiled.
"You're up there. You make me so happy Draco, and I'm so thankful" he said and Draco kissed his lips softly.
"You are welcome. Now, why don't we head back-" he began, but was interrupted by a redheaded monstrosity.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING MALFOY!?" Ron screamed, pulling out his wand and running towards them. Harry reacted without a single thought. Before he knew it, his wand was out.
"Expillarmous!" he shouted, and rons wand went flying out of his hand, and into harry's. he looked at Ron's face, which was torn between anger and hurt.
"What has he done to you!?" he yelled and harry shook his head.
"Were… he… Nothing!" harry yelled back. Draco took a deep breath. He had to defuse the situation before someone got hurt.
"Weas- Ron. Please, listen to us. To me. I haven't done anything to hurt harry. He asked me out and I said yes. I haven't done anything but fall for him. you have to believe me Ron… i… we… he's my boyfriend" he said, and Ron looked at him with disbelief.
"Is he speaking the truth harry?" he asked, and harry nodded.
"It's true. he's my boyfriend Ron. Please, don't be mad." He said, and Ron took a deep breath.
"Why would you hide this from me? From Hermione and the rest of Gryffindor?" he asked.
"I… Ron, you should have an idea as to why. We were going to say something but… I was scared of how you were going to react." He said, looked down.
"Well it doesn't matter if your gay or whatever, you're still my best mate" he said, and harry looked at him and grinned.
"Really?" he asked, and Ron nodded. Harry ran over and hugged him tightly.
"Now, would you like me to tell Hermione, or you?" he asked and harry laughed.
"Me. If you do it, you'll get hit. I'll tell her tonight." He said and Ron nodded.
"You two get back to what whatever you were doing. Just please, use protection." He said and harry blushed a deep red.
"Get out of here you prat!" he yelled playfully, and Ron grinned.
"His favorite flavor is watermelon Draco! You might want to remember that!" he said as he ran back to the castle, laughing all the way. Harry turned around to see a grinning Draco reaching for his hand.
"Flavored lube?" he asked, and harry's face, if it were possible, turned even a darker shade of red. Draco smirked and bent down to whisper into his ear.
"Mine is strawberry" he whispered, and harry's eyes widened as Draco laughed. He led them up to the castle, harry draping his arm around Draco's shoulders as they walked into the great hall.
"See you tonight?" he asked, and harry nodded. Draco kissed his cheek softly and went to sit with the slytherins. Harry's blush was returning slightly as he sat down at the Gryffindor table. It took a moment for anyone to say anything.
"You and Malfoy?" seasmus asked and harry nodded.
"I asked him out, not the other way around." He said, taking a sip of his pumpkin juice.
"Whose bottom?" Ginny asked, and harry choked on his juice and looked at her with wide eyes.
"I… we…" he said, and she grinned.
"I take it you both are. Draco probably more often then not" she said, and he blushed crimson. She laughed and playfully shoved him and he smiled slightly. No one seemed to have a problem. He looked over at the slytherin table as goyle and Crabbe high fived him and grinned. Coming out to their friends was easy. But could they handle Draco's parents? Would they be able to stand together and face the coming storm? Or would they fall like a house of cards, from a simple breeze. Harry didn't know, but he did know this. As long as he had Draco, he could get through anything.
