So the day of the trip to Hogsmead Harry and Draco met up outside the front doors along with Ron, Hermione, Pansy, Crabbe, and, Goyle. Crabbe and Goyle looked like they thought they were gonna get to beat someone up. Their jaws dropped when they saw Draco put his arms around Harry and kiss him.
Harry saw this over Draco's shoulder and laughed softly, pointing them out to Draco. Draco spun around in Harry's arms and laughed coldly.
"Close your mouths, you look dumber than usual. If you have a problem with me dating Harry, then you can both just shove off right now!" he told them.
Crabbe and Goyle looked at each other stupidly, then turned and walked away. Draco stood there for a moment, Harry's arms still wrapped lovingly around his middle. he just couldn't believe they had actually walked away. Harry tightened his grip on Draco.
"Forget about them, love. If they can't accept us being together then they weren't very good friends anyway," Harry said.
"Yeah you're right. I just didn't expect them to actually leave. Anyway, we should be going." Draco spun back around to face Harry and kissed him. Then he took Harry's hand and walked with him down the road to Hogsmead.
So the five of them wandered around the village for a while, Harry and Draco in the middle ho;ding hands. They had been there for a little over an hour when they saw Lucius Malfoy walking toward them. Harry made as if to drop Draco's hand, but Draco squeezed Harry's hand hard in fear. Harry squeezed right back and moved closer, putting his other hand on Draco's forearm protectively.
"So, it's true! My son is dating Harry Potter! I told Crabbe and Goyle they were out of their minds, but there it is. I hope you don't expect me to let you come home this summer," he said. Then, much to their relief, he turned and stormed off.
"Well that went fantastically," Draco said. "I don't even want to know how my mum reacted. No sooner had the words left his mouth than an owl flew by and dropped a letter into Draco's free hand. It looked like a howler, but it was yellow. It opened and spoke in his mother's voice.
"Dear Draco,
I just wanted you to know that I disagree with your father. I don't think it's very safe for you to be with Harry, what with the Dark Lord wanting him dead and all, but you should always follow your heart. And if your heart is pointing you towards Harry Potter then why not? And don't worry, I'll talk your father into letting you come home for summer. I won't let him kick my baby out."
The letter folded itself up and fell my into Draco's outstretched palm.
"Her baby?" asked Harry raising an eyebrow. Draco laughed. He let go of Harry's hand so he could hug and kiss him.
"Well yes, technically I am her baby. But that doesn't mean I can't be yours too. I love her, but I love you in a much different way. Even she couldn't come close to taking up the amount of space you do in my heart," he told Harry. Harry seemed ok with that answer and kissed Draco lovingly.
"I love you too, Draco."
