Annoyance (2nd Prompt from that challenge I told you about)


So how did two enemies to the death end up being lovers, men of passion and lust, but most importantly love. Some say that hatred turned into passion.

It was a need for release for both of them. The war was over, So why did they feel so utterly helpless? So completely out of their range of sanity? Their minds were not the same, war had twisted and throttled them. Destiny had given them the sour apple.

One, the saviour of the Wizarding world. The Boy who lived- Harry Potter.. He was held in the highest pedestal possible. Heck, he'd received more than a few marriage proposals. The wizarding world adored him, praised him, honored him but they couldn't understand that he had no desire to be praised. Fame although very good for self esteem and such, was no good for what he was feeling deep inside. His heart was aching and they wanted him to give great speeches and encourage them. They were like pets, needy and wishful for pats and cuddling. Maybe all Harry wanted was to be done with this saving business and hero company.

Two, Draco Malfoy. In short, the Wizarding world hated his guts. Maybe that was just putting it nicely. All former death eaters or suspected death eaters were treated like cow poop. Let's put it this way, Draco was the cheese and the Wizarding World the jam. So you see they were anything but compatible. Even though Draco Malfoy had been cleared of all charges, the Wizarding world was relentless. He had helped in the war and what did he get? He got to be shunned by the world, that's what.

Then came along Harry Potter. And things, well things got spicy.

It was a chance meeting. Harry Potter out in plain daylight, it smelled like trouble from the beginning.

It was a typical day at Diagon Alley or it should have been. But along came Draco Malfoy and along came Harry Potter. They saw each other, their anger flared and insults flew.

"Perfect Potter, out to see your admiring flocks?" began Draco. Insulting Potter had become like instinct.

The crowds fell into shocked silence. And soon they turned to their precious Potter's attacker: Draco Malfoy.

The crowd surrounded Draco, spitting insults and threats.

"How dare you? You filthy death eater scum? Go back to where you belong, in Azkaban! They should have left you there to rot like the trash you are." Soon the words turned into action. No one could be sure who was that threw the first spell. But they soon all followed.

Draco Malfoy ducked and sprung out of the way, whispering protection spells and tackling others.

And Harry Potter came to the rescue because that's what he does.

"You call yourself good wizards?" his voice crashed against the others. The effect was instantaneous. The crowd's mouths clamped shut and their wands fell to their side."Oh yeah such amazing wizards and witches you lot are. What is this? 50 to 1. So just because you call yourself light, attacking another won't count as violence? Wrong! You let yourselves be riled up by petty words that aren't directed at you. Stay out of my life!"

Somewhere along the way, Harry came up with the most brilliant or most stupid idea ever, depending on how you look at it. He sauntered over to Draco Malfoy. Draco was too surprised to do anything. Harry, well Harry hugged him.

The crowd gasped. Whispers broke out amongst them. To say they were shocked would be an understatement.

"Potter what are you doing?" demanded Draco in a whisper of course during Harry's hug.

"Oh come on, Malfoy. Just go along with me, ok?" Harry pulled away before Draco could answer.

"I would recommend that from now on you all leave Draco alone."

"Why?" someone demanded. It was a burly man with toad-like features.

"Because- Draco Malfoy- is - my- boyfriend," Harry answered happily, maybe too happily.

Draco's eyes widen and he felt his mouth fall open. Great a Malfoy looking like a fish.. Potter was going to get it, now. "What are you on, Potter?" Draco whispered harshly. He was still in public and as such would continue looking composed. Maybe this would turn out to benefit him.

"I'll explain later, but this will be good. So just go along with me!" whispered Harry back, without moving his eyes of the crowd.

Well I'll have you know that a Malfoy wasn't just ordered around. So Draco wasn't going to stand for Harry's barking orders like some dog on a short leash. "What do you think you're doing? And in the middle of the day in this place?" demanded Draco, his voice increasing.

By now the crowds shocked succumbed silence had worn off and insults were flying.

Harry sighed and turned to face Draco with a very convincing enamored look. "Draco, I'm doing what we should have done ages ago. I'm telling the world that we are in love and nothing will get in the way again! I won't let these people treat you as scum!" answered Harry with a bright smile for Draco and a ferocious glare for the crowd.

And with that Harry grabbed a hold of Draco and apparated them away.

"What was that?" sputtered Draco almost indignantly. Almost. They were at some sort of apartment, very bright to say the least.

"Well you see Malfoy, I have a proposition to make," simply replied Harry.

Draco sighed. What other choice did he have? "Fine you have one second."

Harry smiled a toothy kind of grin and nodded. Then he went straight to his proposition. "Ok Malfoy, you see I want the Wizarding World to get off my back. They can hate me for all I care, but I just need them to ignore me or something. That's where you come in, no offense but they hate you. So my association with you will drive them away. You get the point."

"So let me get this right. You Harry Potter the boy who lived, the Wizarding's world saviour is annoyed by his adoring fans?"

Harry nodded, looking a bit peeved. "Okay, yes."
Draco chuckled, and soon there was a permanent smirk on his face. "Okay, but tell me? How does this benefit me?"

Harry smiled a little brighter. "Well aside from having the boy who lived as your boyfriend, well you'll be back on the spotlight. You can clear you're family's name or whatever it is you want to do."

Draco nodded, anticipating as such. He extended his arm. "Ok, Potter you've got yourself a deal."

And so their deal was sealed. Harry of course ended it with a kiss.

"POTTER!" That was definitely Malfoy. Let's just say he didn't approve Potter's kiss... just yet.
