a few hours latter Draco was sitting by the fire with a blanket listening to some old record
he had found in the bottom of a box, the weird sisters first album. harry had resumed his reading in the sofa behind him. "omg that song" Draco gasped, harry looked up he seemed to have recognised it too "isn't that the song from the yule ball, god I remember" harry said "yes, yes!" he exclaimed "they played that song right as the clock stroke to midnight, oh I really wanted to dance to it everyone seemed so in love" Draco said "why didn't you?" harry asked "because I was busy pretending to be straight" Draco laughed "but I really wanted to take that cute ravenclaw prefect out there to dance with me" he said nostalgically. " I never got to dance to it either" harry said "why?" Draco wondered "I was busy being a party popper because, remember cho hang, she hadn't gone with me" harry said "are you serious that is ridiculous you are and idiot" Draco laughed " oh sod off Malfoy I was 14 of course I was and idiot" they both laughed "you still are" "how dare you, idiot" harry replied.
Draco got up "will Mr harry potter, give me this dance" Draco extended his hand "oh well, only if Mr Draco Malfoy accepts how much of and idiot he is" "very well, Mr potter, I am and idiot, just not as much as you" they laughed and harry took Draco's hand. They danced around clumsily trough the living room Draco spinning harry around
"This is your final chance To hold the one you love You know you've waited long enough"
Harry and Draco keep dancing around the living room knocking things over and laughing. As the song neared to and end
"Don't let this magic die The answer's there Yeah, just look in her eyes"
Harry rested his head on Draco's shoulder and kept spinning around. And then the song was over, that also seemed to be the end of the record. They stayed in silence for few seconds just looking at each other, harry blurted out a laugh. "well my 14 year old self could never had for seen that" Draco laughed "anyway, mortal enemy, I'm going to bed" harry says, its funny to think of how much they used to hate each other "good night potter" Draco says, harry laughed and went to his room.
Next Monday night, harry was revising some exams after dinner, and Draco was correcting some potions papers. "so what are you doing in summer?" Draco broke the silence " I don't really know, probably going back to the burrow" harry replied "I might go on a trip or something but I don't know with who as Ron and Hermione just had a baby and well, everyone else is in happy relationships and I really don't feel like third wheeling" he alleged "what are you doing?"
"I probably will just visit my mother, and I was hoping to go somewhere warm on July, you know a vacation" Draco stated "I was thinking the Caribbean, or maybe California" he looked around distractedly as he marked an essay "yeah, of course I don't know who I would take with me, Astoria is planning her wedding but I'm hopping she will come and her fiancé too, and I was planning on going with Dan, but we both now how that relationship ended" Draco said, Dan was his last boyfriend and that hadn't ended very well to say the least.
"that sounds like fun, I hope everything comes together in the end" harry scraped his head and took a sip from his coffee "well, if you wish I bet you could join us" "Ill have too see, but I would love that"
he smiled and got back to his exam correction. The conversation died there. But harry kept wondering about the possibly of a summer trip with Draco for the next couple of days, he even commented the possibility to Hermione on a letter on wrote to her that Wednesday. She thought it was a great idea, Ron not so much, mainly because he still wasn't fond of Draco, something are quite hard to forget, harry didn't expect him to forget the past, Hermione was more flexible about the mater and of course and encouraged harry to go, an important factor in this was that she felt kind of bad because she was to busy with the baby to go out for summer. She also told harry it could be a good idea to tell Luna, to go as well as she had heard her comment that she wanted to go to the beach for summer but had no one to go with. As her fiancé was going to be in Australia studding magical creatures all of the summer.
A few days passed and it was the weekend, exams where almost over but, the potions, herbology, and transfiguration tests where left for the next week and Draco was rushing with preparations to make sure all the ingredients students needed where available, and he was also preparing multiple classrooms for the test. He came back late, to find harry was getting ready to leave.
"where are you going" Draco wondered
"to Hagrids for tea" harry putted his coat on "want to come?"
"oh no I'm really tiered, have fun"
"o come on it will be fun" harry encouraged him
"no, no its okay, I'm fine thanks"
"don't be so boring come on you wont die" harry said
"FINE" Draco agreed and they made their way to hagrids.
It was actually really nice to Draco's surprise hagrid and harry talked a lot, mostly about stuff Draco didn't know much about, but hagrid did his best to make him feel included in the conversation. Draco was still amazed by the ability to forgive some people seemed to have, hagrid was so kind to him, he didn't have to do so, he felt bad, he felt bad because he didn't deserve it. He had never deserved any of this after what he did and yet there he was, drinking tea like they had always been friends The boys thanked hagrid for everything and left.
"see that wasn't so terrible" harry told him "I have to admit it was kind of fun, hagrid is really nice" Draco muttered "I glad he had good time teaching, magical creatures this year" "he always talk about them" harry laughed "I guess he just really love what he does" harry speculated "anyway, I know you are tired, but I think I'm going to stay put here for a while I don't feel like going back in yet" "actually, I don't feel like going back inside either" Draco said " I was thinking that it is a really starry night to waste it inside" "I that case I suppose we could go sit somewhere" harry suggested " I was thinking, maybe by the tree of the proposal" "yeah sounds good to me" so they made their way. Harry conjured a few blankets and pillows to appear, and they laid in silence just looking at the stars.
Harry wondered what Draco was thinking sitting next him as he moved closer; he looked at the sky in awe; it made him feel clam; and he knew that from somewhere above them Sirius looked down on him from the brightest of the stars; that shone that night over their heads; and harry wonder what he would think if he saw him then. "Draco" he said no using his last name for the fist time Draco turned his head at him suspired to hear him call him that; but some how it sounded right "harry" he said "you where also named after a star right" harry asked; Draco nodded "a constellation actually; the dragon constellation" he pointed up "you see Sirius; up there the brightest star; to its right is Orion and then a little bit farther away form it there is the Draco constellation; formed by does I think 10 big stars" he said tracing with his wand a line" harry didn't say anything; but after that night; he didn't call him Malfoy anymore.
After a few minutes had gone by in silence , harry started to shiver. Draco got closer to him, harry didn't resit. With a flick of his wand Draco conjured another blanket over both of them, harry got closer to Draco, until they where side by side, Draco heart was racing, he wasn't very sure why, he got closer to harry, and looked at him, harry turned to face him and Draco stared into his eyes, they where beautiful, the green shone in the moon light. Draco moved his arm to hug harry, again he didn't resist he just got closer and rested his head against Draco's chest, Draco could feel his breathing on his neck, he feet his hear beating faster, harry started to slowly fall asleep, Draco staid there for a while, he decided to let him sleep for a little before going back inside, he knew harry hadn't been so quiet in his sleep for a while. He felt butterfly's in his stomach, it was at that moment everything made sense to him, of course he had been pushing the though aside for the past few months but he couldn't keep it anymore, he liked him, he liked him a lot, the stupid harry potter, the handsome harry potter, harry potter, yes Draco liked him.
