Draco lounged on the sofa in the Slytherin common room, arms draped over the back, one leg folded over the other he couldn't get the past couple of days out of his head. Grey eyes closed as he leant his head back, it felt like he hadn't slept for days and he was exhausted, so much had happened in the past two weeks it was like one big giant blur. He was so angry when he found out he was going to have to sit by himself on the train but now, now he was so thankful that it happened, so thankful that he was late because now he has what he has wanted for the past year or so. A small smile played on his lips as he thought about Harry, the Gryffindor who he had hated for their first two years at Hogwarts, who he began to realise he had feelings for last year and who he was now in a secret relationship with, after their little chat and short but sweet kiss the two decided they would see each other secretly for a while and see how things went before they decided to start anything serious. The smile disappeared and his brow narrowed as he thought about what would happen if anyone found out, they had to be super careful that no one would even become suspicious never mind actually confront either of them, Draco knew that if anyone asked him he could easily lie but he wasn't too sure about Harry, the smaller boy was a terrible liar so no doubt if anyone ever asked he would end up spilling the beans.
Blinking his eyes open he took a quick scan around the common room and thanked Merlin that he was still alone, given a few more precious moments with his thoughts. Closing his eyes again he allowed his mind to drift, he hadn't spent time alone with Harry since they decided to see each other secretly, tonight was their first time meeting up and in truth he was a little nervous about seeing the dark haired boy, they really didn't have a lot in common and he wasn't sure what they would talk about or how he should act around him, he wished he could just be himself but he didn't know who the real Draco was, a small frown creased his face as he realised just how fucked up he truly was. Letting out a huff of breath he decided not to dwell on that particular thought, every time he did he would become self-loathing for a few days and he wasn't going to allow anything to ruin this very rare moment of happiness in his life. He couldn't believe this was happening to him, he knew it was wrong on so many levels but that's why he was enjoying it so much, he knew a Slytherin should never be friends with a Gryffindor never mind go out with one, Harry and him were enemies everyone could see that, everyone believed that they hated each other and it just didn't make any sense for them to be together, also they were both boys and he was sure that would be the biggest issue if anyone discovered what they were up to, he just couldn't have the whole school finding out that he was gay, what would your father say? His subconscious snarled at him in disgust. He knew what his father would say or rather do if he ever found out, he would kill him plain and simple, literally kill him.
"Draco." The crude voice of Crab compelled Draco back into reality, slowly lifting his head he stared darkly at his fellow Slytherin. "We've been looking for you." Crab grumbled as he and Goyle sat down on the sofa opposite Draco.
"Well you found me." Draco couldn't keep the disdain out of his voice as he brushed his fringe down over his brow. Looking at the clock he sulked when he saw he still had two hours to go before he was meant to meet with Harry.
"What did you say to Pansy?" Goyle blurted out as he slumped against the back of the sofa.
"Hmmm?" Draco raised a bemused eyebrow as he glanced between the two goons sitting in front of him; he had to resist the temptation to roll his eyes at their stupidity.
"She's been really upset the past few days and when we asked her what was wrong she just said your name and stormed off." Crab shrugged as he stared down at his dirty hands.
A conceited smile danced on Draco's face as he remembered her face when he left her to chase after Harry. "I told her she's not my type."
Crab and Goyle's mouths fell open at the exact same time, glancing at each other in shock they looked back to Draco with questioning faces. "How can Pansy not be your type?"
"She's a slut." Draco said in a matter of fact tone, his eyes icy and emotionless.
"I don't think she is." Crab confessed with a bewildered eyebrow raised.
Draco let out a snort of amusement, leaning forward so his elbows rested on his knees he motioned for his friends to lean closer. "She has been with nearly every guy from Slytherin and Ravenclaw, the girl is a fucking broom."
Goyle sat back clearly surprised by what he heard while Crab just pursed his lips and stared into Draco's cold eyes. "Is that not the perfect girl for you then?" Crab smirked.
A dark chuckle escaped Draco's throat as he leant back relaxing in his seat. "I can do better than a dirty slut."
"But all the other girls in Slytherin are dogs."
Grey eyes complacent Draco licked his lips very slowly. "Trust me I can have anyone I want in this school." He had to hide his smile as he knew those words were so very true.
The three sat in comfortable silence as Goyle and Crab looked down at the floor, their eyes blank. Draco rolled his eyes as he knew they weren't thinking of anything, they were so dense it was unbelievable. Crab was first to speak. "So if you're not going to do anything with her…." He coughed his eyes questioning.
Draco smiled, but it wasn't the same smile he would give Harry, it was dark, twisted and full of sinister intent. "Yeah go for it I couldn't care less and she will be on the rebound since I rejected her."
"Hang on." Goyle interrupted glancing between Crab and Draco with dark eyes. "How come you get to have her?" He eyes Crab up and down.
"Because I suggested it!" Crab snapped getting into Goyle's face.
"Guys," Draco interrupted them putting his arms in the air and waving his hands. "This is Pansy we are talking about; you both could easily have her." The two smiled and nodded at each other, Draco had to hide his grimace as he watched them ominously. Glancing at the clock he saw he now only had an hour to get ready for his meeting with Harry. "I'm going to get a shower I'll see you girls later." He teased raising his eyebrows before he stood elegantly and swaggered away.
Harry couldn't keep the excitement away, it was nearly time to go and meet Draco, the boy he was now seeing secretly, it was so forbidden and that was what made it that much better and hotter. Looking in the mirror he fixed his hair for the fiftieth time in the past five minutes, grumbling under his breath he looked at his reflection and was angry that his hair wouldn't sit perfect. I'm such a bloody woman he scolded himself but couldn't help but once again play with his fringe. Licking his dry lips he could feel his heart pound so hard in his chest it actually hurt, his hands were shaking as he grabbed his invisibility cloak, holding it in his hand he decided he wouldn't put it on until he was out of the common room in case someone freaked out because a door opened by itself. They were going to meet at 10pm just after bedtime and students weren't allowed out after that, this made his butterflies worse as he worried that Draco would get caught sneaking out of his common room or the castle, they agreed to meet just a bit away from the whomping willow so they wouldn't be in the forbidden forest but just far enough away from the castle so there would be no chance of getting caught.
Looking at his watch he saw it was 9.45, it was time to leave. Looking at the other beds he saw that everyone was fast asleep, holding his shoes he tip toed out of the room and closed the door oh so quietly behind him making sure not to wake anyone up. Shoving his shoes on he ran down the stairs, wanting to get out of the Gryffindor room as quickly as possible before anyone saw him and questioned where he was going at such a late hour, jumping down the last step he couldn't keep the smile from his face, he felt like a giddy school girl and he didn't care because it was the best feeling he had felt in a very long time. Walking into the common room he let out a long sigh of relief when he saw it was empty, this was going perfectly he was sure this was going to be a perfect night with the not so perfect boy he fancied.
Little did Harry know that someone had actually spotted him running down the steps, the sound of someone closing the boy's dormitory door made her suspicious and she couldn't stop her curiosity, her heart had stopped when she saw Harry running down the stairs and she couldn't help but follow him, wondering what he was up to, Hermione hid behind the wall and watched him with one eye as he snuck out of the common room and into the hallway of the castle, waiting a second she quickly followed opening the door she looked left and right but there was no sign of him. Cursing she realised he must be under his invisibility cloak, sighing in defeat she went back into the common room and headed for bed, she would quiz Harry tomorrow, she knew he couldn't tell a lie to save his life so she would get the truth out of him one way or another.
Harry ran full speed under his cloak out of the castle, outside the moon shun brightly making it easy to see, it was a clear night the stars were out in full view and Harry couldn't help but stare at them, they really were breath taking. It was a beautiful night, Harry felt like hugging himself as he continued towards his destination, everything was falling perfectly into place, it was the nicest night he had ever seen and he was going to spend it with the only other person he wanted to share it with. Harry made it to the top of the hill and he stopped dead in his tracks, his breathing stopped as he stared in awe at Draco, his bright blonde hair glistening beautifully in the moonlight it was magnificent looking, he sat slumped against a tree sitting on top of his own robe, he was wearing grey sweatpants and a plain black t shirt that hung in all the right places. Harry slipped his cloak off and couldn't help but smile as he slowly inched closer to Draco, his breathing becoming rigid as the butterflies began doing summersaults making his heart feel as though it was in his mouth.
Draco glanced up when he heard soft footsteps approaching; a small smile creased his face as he watched Harry walk towards him, the other boy wore loose jeans and a dark blue jumper. "Hey." He patted on the space on his robe beside him.
"Hey yourself." Harry smiled as he sat down on the robe, it was a lot softer than he had anticipated and he couldn't help but run his flat palm over it. "Aren't you worried about getting it stained?"
Draco sunk his lips in and raised his eyebrows, he clearly hadn't even thought about that. "Not really, sure if I do I can always get them out or get my father to buy me a new robe."
"Oh." Harry blushed and looked down as he realised how stupid the question was. Draco smiled fondly, lowering his head so his face was in view of Harry he smiled as sweetly as he could, which wasn't very sweet but it was the thought that counts. Harry let a small chuckle escape his lips, leaning forward he planted a wet kiss on Draco's lips before pulling back. "How have you been anyway?" He asked genuinely curious.
Draco moved his head back and shuffled closer to Harry so their legs brushed against each other causing delicious friction. "Oh the same old been bored shitless in this dump." He shrugged looking at the castle with a blank expression on his face.
Harry blinked in surprise, how anyone could call Hogwarts a dump was beyond him it was the best place in the entire world. "Hogwarts isn't a dump." He growled through clenched teeth.
Draco closed his eyes for a moment, shaking his head he forgot how much Harry loved Hogwarts, opening them again he let out a sigh he turned to see blazing green eyes baring a hole in him. "Maybe it's because I'm in Slytherin I hate it, I mean I am surrounded by fucking idiots." A trace of humour evident in his otherwise stern voice.
Harry laughed with affection as he looked up at the grand castle. "Probably, I don't know how you stick those fools." He confessed with a small smile. Smirking a little he raised a single eyebrow, "then again if you got put into Slytherin then you must be pretty stupid as well." His eyes danced mischievously.
Draco bit the inside of his cheek to keep himself from smiling, grey eyes icy and cold with just a tint of amusement in them he gazed impassively at harry. "Is that so Potter?" His eyes turned dark and Harry couldn't help the gasp that escaped his mouth, Draco really was beautiful. "I think you may regret those brave words."
"Really?" Harry pushed further, raising his eyebrows he licked his suddenly dry lips, leaning forward so his mouth was basically touching Draco's ear. "I dare you to do something." He challenged.
Harry didn't have time to react. Within a second he was pushed down on the cold ground, his arms forced above his head as Draco held both his wrists with one hand, blunt nails dug into his skin making him groan in pained pleasure. Draco smirked down at him; he loved having Harry helpless beneath him it felt so right, leaning forward he slowly caressed Harry's lips with his own. Harry moaned into the kiss, slowly kissing back he loved having those soft lips on his, he tried to move his hands but the grip tightened around them keeping him locked beneath the taller boy, groaning he wished he could reach out and touch him, to feel him, to caress him and to grab him. The kiss deepened as Draco pushed his full body weight onto Harry, his groin pressing into Harry's thigh causing the younger boy to moan as he felt the hardness push against him, Draco's free hand moved up and down Harry's torso causing a delicious sensation as Harry withered beneath him. Draco grazed his tongue over Harry's teeth silently begging permission to enter and Harry was quick to oblige, opening his mouth he met Draco's tongue with his own, the two caressing each other before they wrestled for dominance, Draco moaned loudly as Harry fought back pushing his own tongue deep into Draco's mouth causing him to give up the fight and let Harry control the heart stopping kiss, his hand continued to feel and explore Harry's body before falling to his groin and giving it a tight squeeze and tug.
"Please…" Harry panted; pulling back for breath he stared at Draco with pleading eyes.
Draco looked into the green eyes longingly; he saw lust, excitement and a tinge of fear. Sighing heavily he cast his eyes downwards, he knew he couldn't do this, not here, not yet, not like this. Licking his lips he slowly shook his head keeping his eyes cast downwards, "I can't do this." He whispered in a hoarse voice, sitting up he caught his breath and leant against the tree again, knee up he rested his elbow on it while his head rested in his hand, his fingers fisting in his blonde hair.
Harry swallowed hard and slowly sat up feeling as though he was about to burst into tears. What the fuck just happened? He sombrely thought as he fixed his wonky glasses. "Why did you stop?" He squeaked as he stared down at his knotted hands wishing the ground would eat him up.
"I don't want you to do something you're going to regret."
"I won't regret it."
Draco let out a huff of breath, turning to Harry it killed him to see hurt in those gorgeous green eyes, lifting his hand he slowly caressed Harry's cheek. "You say that now but what happens if this doesn't work out and next week we are enemies again, I don't want to rush this. I want to wait until the right moment when we are officially together you know?"
Harry let out a small sigh of disappointment, he knew that Draco was right and he couldn't help but feel happy that Draco wasn't after just one thing from him. "Yeah you are right, we should wait." Scooting closer to Draco he leant his head on the bony shoulder of the older boy and looked up at the moon. "You know you are a good person."
Draco closed his eyes and leaned his head down into Harry's hair, inhaling deeply he opened his piercing grey eyes and to Harry's surprise they were filled with sorrow. "I only wish that were true."
