THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS, ALERTS AND HITS 3 :D

1999 - 2000:

At some point casual tea went from tea once a week to lunch a few times a week. It was different with Draco than it was with everyone else. With Draco, they talked a bit but mostly they just sat in silence. It was what they both needed. People were always around them but for different reason. People were always around Harry, thanking him., giving him congratulations. For Draco, people were always talking behind his back. They were watching his every move. They hadn't forgiven him or his family. 'Why should they' he thought solemnly.

"I think I want to leave the Manor, Harry. Too many memories. I thought maybe on our next lunch, we could stop by a little house I found outside of Hogsmeade."

"I would like that. Are you sure you want to live that close to Hogwarts? With all the memories?" Harry ask thoughtfully, fearful he may have said the wrong thing.

"Its going to sound strange, but Hogwarts felt like home. Even though I went down the wrong path and made bad choices I still want to be near it. The Manor was home when I was a kid but Hogwarts made me feel...content. I wish I hadn't ruined everything" Draco said, sadness tainting his speech. He truly wished he could go back sometimes. But he knew even if he went back, that it might now be worth it.

"Try not to focus on the past. I know what has happened and I know what you did but I understand. And as long as you have me, then you will be fine"

Simultaneously Harry and Draco both started blushing. "Thank you Harry". Harry nodded.

"Now tell me all about the house"

"Its a cottage actually. Quite small, 2 bedrooms on one level. There is a rather large kitchen and a living room that I fell in love with. It has a wonderful fireplace. It seems like the perfect home to start a new life. I'd love to raise childr-" he stopped suddenly. He knew his chances of starting a family were low. Post war, he wasn't anything amazing and had been on the wrong side. While free, he still wasn't anything special. No man would want to date him, let alone build a family with him.

"Draco, I'm sure you will find someone and she will be lovely."

"Not likely Harry, and you should switch the she with a he. He could be lovely. But he doesn't exist."

Shock spread across Harry's face but he quickly drew it back in. "Well, then he will be lovely and I'm sure he exists. You are young, you can still fix everything. Like you said, you can start over in a new home. And one day, you can have your family." He placed his hand gently on top of Draco's and rubbed the back of it. 'I don't want you to let go Harry. You bring out something in me I haven't felt in a long time' He flipped his hand over and held onto Harry's. "I'm glad you brought my wand back"

"Me too." They didn't want to release each others hand but finally did. Returning to sitting in silence and enjoying the peace.

2004:

Draco grabbed on to Harry's arm, feeling the rush of emotions hitting him yet again. 'I know I've always had a crush on him but this is absurd. I feel like, I love him already' He couldn't stop the blush forming on his cheeks if he tried. "I'm going to apparate us to ou- wait, I mean my house" Harry stared at him. 'Why would he say our? What is going on?' But these thoughts didn't stop him from hanging onto the hand that had grabbed him. He felt the pull in his stomach and before he knew it was in Draco's home. 'Wow, this place is amazing.'

Draco didn't want to remove his hand from Harry's. He suddenly felt very afraid, as if he let go he would lose this moment. He pulled away quickly, so quickly that Harry looked a little shocked. "Sorry, I will go start the tea now". Harry smiled, not sure what to think of what happened but instead focused on how he was glad to be here. The day had been so odd already. A rush to a Lake he hadn't been to in forever. Suddenly seeing Draco Malfoy and not wanting to part from him. Then agreeing to have to tea with him. 'Its official, I'm losing it.'

As Draco went into the kitchen, Harry walked around the living room. It was decorated in different shades of green with some golds randomly placed. He walked over the fireplace and noticed a small dragon like the one he had seen at his house. This one had green eyes though but was still a match for the one he had. "Hey Draco, where did you get this little dragon on the mantle?" He saw Draco poke his head out of the kitchen to look. "Probably Hogsmeade but I'm not quite sure." It was true, Draco wasn't sure, he didn't remember buying it. But when he headed back into the kitchen he had this faint memory pop into his head of buying it. Of someone else reaching for one that had silver eyes and saying in a distorted voice "You get the one with green eyes, I will have the one with silver eyes and we can always have a part of each other"

Draco felt out of breath, as this washed over him.

Little did he know the same thing was happening to Harry. The exact same memory.

2000:

"What do you think?" Draco asked curiously as Harry walked around his, hopefully future home.

"I love it, it really is amazing. What are you going to do out back?" Draco suddenly lit up and grabbed Harry by the hand to pull him through the back door.

"I want to plant all the flowers and herbs I need for my potions. I hope to start a small potions buisness. I had been taught by Severus my whole life and its what I'm good at." Draco continued on while Harry watched him point out where he was going to plant everything. What rows would go where and several other things. He suddenly found himself thinking over the past few months. He had returned a wand, that led to tea then to lunch, then dinners and now knew more and more he was falling for Draco but he had no clue how to go about this. He had never dated a man before, he worried that Draco only saw him as a friend. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt a hand on a shoulder.

"Its amazing and I cannot wait to see it when its complete. Lets go talk to that realtor and get you into this house"

2004:

Draco walked into the living room after he caught he breath, he noticed Harry leaning over slightly on the fire place. He placed his hand gently onto his shoulder hoping not to startle him. "I was thinking we could have tea in the backyard" Harry jumped, both only slightly and then proceeded to follow Draco. As soon as they walked into the garden both of them were struck with another set of slightly distorted memories. This time both of the garden being empty, but both were seeing the other smiling. Then watching as the other leaned in for a kiss. The memory fizzled out just as quickly as it came.

"I've been here before" Harry whispered. "I can see if faintly in my mind, everything seems blurry but I know its you."

Draco nodded "I feel it too. I just saw the same thing but it was through my eyes and I saw this hair" he gestured to Harry's hair. "What is going on? When would you have come here? I go to the lake with no real reason, then I see you and suddenly I feel "

"Whole?" Harry asked hopefully but he wasn't quite sure why.

"Yes, I can't explain it. Its like - " but Draco didn't get to finish as Harry pressed his lips against his. Neither moved for a moment as memories more memories came flooding back. Draco saw one of them running along the edge of the lake. It was the same as the one he saw earlier. Harry saw them in this garden, laying on their backs discussing the stars. When they pulled apart they could do nothing but stare at each other.

"Earlier you said you were taking us to our home. I came here and honestly? I felt home. Was this my home? Is this my home Draco? I feel like I love you but that is insane. The last time I remember talking to you was when I returned your wand a few years back. But now I'm having flashes of you'

Draco put his hands on Harry's cheeks, brushing away the slight tear forming. "When you arrived, it felt right. I think someone has messed with our memories but why?"

"I'm not sure Draco but I think its time to find out why" he said as he wrapped his arms around Draco.

In this house, in these arms, both boys felt home.

2004:

The night before Harry and Draco meet at the lake...again.

"We have to do this guys. Their relationship is becoming too volatile" Ron said staring at Hermione who squeezed his hand to help ease him. He felt like he was doing the wrong thing. But years of being together, had led to more explosive fights than they could count. Pansy and Blaise who also sat with them nodded.

"But we have to be careful. We aren't just removing their memories, we are also attempting to keep every little thing intact. Tonight we will take Draco out and you guys will take Harry out. We will leave Draco at the Manor and then go to his house and clean out everything of Harry. I suggest you do the same for Harry." Blaise said quickly. Feeling unease at doing this.

Everyone nodded.

And then everything went according to plan. They both took out Harry and Draco to different places. They both listened to their friends woes and tried to ignore the slight smiles they both made when mentioning the other. After Draco had passed out, Blaise moved him to the manor and begin to the process of altering his memories and removing most. Hermione and Ron did the same to Harry. Hermione had fixed up Harry's old home as it had been in 2000 before he started dating Draco. Blaise and Pansy's doing the same to Draco's home.

Both parties never knew that the dragons would bring back a reminder of each other.

They also never knew of the journals both boys kept hidden.

A/N: This won't be much of a character bashing story. The four people above are the people who think they know whats best for a relationship that isn't their own. They fill like this will make Harry and Draco's lives better. Yes, you can expect the boys to be mad but I have no intentions to make them full out evil villains.
