Don't you just love me... it's out today yay!! :D and in case you were wondering my first exam was fine... one down and five to go! Same disclaimer as always... don't own them. Warnings for this chapter: Language (swearing and homophobic-not my views but they work, sorry),

Autumn slowly moved into winter as Harry and Draco's public civility became friendship and in their private lives they learned more about each other, they talked about everything and anything; except the war. Both Harry and Draco were excited as in a couple of days the Christmas Holidays would start and they had all the alone time together they could want.

By now the majority of the school had accepted their friendship and were used to see one eating a meal at the other's table or see them conversing in the hall ways, the whole school that is bar two red-haired siblings. Ginny didn't like the fact that Harry saw Draco more than Harry saw Ginny, in her eyes she was his girlfriend since the war ended and no matter how many times he had told her. Ron however; was more public about his mistrust and disgust of Draco, as he felt deemed to express at dinner one night.

*Flashback*

Harry was sitting next to Draco at the Gryffindor table, Hermione on Draco's other side and Dean and Seamus opposite. The seat on Harry's left was empty for Ron. "What the fuck is wrong with you Harry?"

"Nothing is wrong, Ron."

"Nothing? Nothing? You're happy talking to that, that ferret."

"Yes, Ron. I am happy with this ferret." Harry spat out the word and looked apologetically at Draco who smiled grimly. "So happy in fact, that I'm shall visit him over the holidays and spend Christmas with him at the Manor. Not with you and your fucking psychotic sister at the Burrow!"

Harry was so angry that he had let that slip, not giving a very red Ron time to answer, he stormed out of the Great Hall leaving a shocked silence behind. Draco rose gracefully and turned to go after Harry but a cold voice froze him in his tracks, "go after your lover boy, faggot!"

"Ronald!"

"It's okay Hermione. If Weasley can't accept that someone lake somebody of the same sex then it is his problem." Draco's voice was quiet but he spoke louder for the whole Hall to hear, "yes, I am gay. And just because I'm friends with Harry Potter, it does not mean he is gay as well. You got that, homophobe?"

With one last sneer Draco proceeded to follow Harry, with Hermione, Dean and Seamus in pursuit. "Bastard. We've been roommates for six years, Harry's your best friend and this is how you treat him for befriending Malfoy. Know him before you judge him." Seamus was not happy and spat at Ron after saying his piece.

Draco went straight to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, were Harry was sobbing on the floor in front of the sinks. "Hello Myrtle. Do you think you could give us some privacy?"

"Of course, Draco. Don't hurt him." And she left to sit in the U-bend of the farthest cubicle.

Draco pulled Harry into his arms and held him tightly as he cried, "he's supposed to be my best friend, and he shouldn't care if I have other friends... Draco... why does he hate me?"

Draco's own tears threatened to fall and his voice cracked "he doesn't hate you, Harry. He hates me."

"That doesn't make it better." Harry turned his face towards Draco, who reached out to brush his tears away. "I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself."

"I promised. And you didn't hurt me."

"So are you coming to the Manor for Christmas? I knew mother invited you and Aunt Andromeda and Cousin Teddy but I didn't think you had replied or accepted."

"It was supposed to be a surprise. I owled her back to let her know that I was coming but asked her not to tell you, so I could surprise you. It's all ruined now."

Smiling softly Draco hugged Harry tighter before releasing him slightly, so their arms were around each other but they were not being suffocated. Gently reaching up Harry brushed his lips against Draco's, "don't stop, Harry." And he didn't.

The three teens watching were in awe at the intensity of the kiss and the fact that Harry 'Golden Boy' Potter was gay. None of them said anything to Harry or Draco, simply leaving them be, but before they got too far Hermione dragged the other two boys away from the door before talking loudly giving the boys time to move apart before opening the door.

"Harry! Oh, come here. The stupid pick!" Hermione did the same as Draco and pulled Harry into a hug. Laughing Harry hugged Hermione back "that 'stupid prick' is your boyfriend."

"No he's not. I broke up with him after his reaction to Draco carrying you the night of the party months ago."

"Mione why didn't you say anything?" Harry pulled the sobbing girl into his arms and held her as Draco had done for him.

*End flashback*

Today was the day. The boys were going on the Hogwarts Express and were going to the Manor for the two week Christmas break. The train ride was long and boring; the boys' only entertainment came from each other or their friends who visited. It finally ended and Draco dragged Harry off the train towards a slender blonde woman, a tall dark haired woman and a baby with teal hair.

Draco flung himself into his mother's arms as Harry hugged Andromeda Tonks before taking hold of Teddy who turned his hair black and unruly and his eyes a piercing grey, laughing Harry turned to Mrs Malfoy and Draco who had broken apart, "Thank you for inviting me to the Manor for Christmas, Mrs Malfoy."

"No problems Mr. Potter."

"It's Harry."

"It's Narcissa."

"Fair enough."

The unusual group made their way through the station, Narcissa and Andromeda in front, Harry, Draco and Teddy behind as they passed the Weasley's Ron and Ginny glared but Harry smiled and wished them Marry Christmas whilst Draco nodded at Mr and Mrs Wealsey and the twins but glared at Ron and Ginny.

Once the group had made their way home Twinkles, the house-elf, showed Harry to his room and then Draco's which was next to Harry's and a door joined the two rooms, then Twinkles told Harry that if he needed anything he just needed to call her. She nearly fainted when he thanked her, "don't do that, one died when I thanked him. Father said that after our second year because I thanked Dobbles she died. I liked Dobbles, she was Dobby's cousin."

"Oh, interesting. Come here."

Draco came over to where Harry was on the bed and together they fell asleep in each other's arms with contented smiles on their faces, that when Narcissa came up to get them for lunch she too smiled and left them to sleep.

Next time.... CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Harry tighter before releasing him slightly, so their arms were around each other but they were not being suffocated. Gently reaching up Harry brushed his lips against Draco's, "don't stop, Harry." And he didn't.
