Chapter Six
Harry put a charm on the bathroom door to keep Draco locked inside so that he could set up his surprise, then he headed down to the front lawn.
On the lawn, Harry began to rearrange parts of the lawn into a special message…
--
Draco sighed contently as he closed the book after finishing the final chapter. Smiling, he got up off the counter and headed to the door…
--
Harry stood back to admire his work, and then headed towards the front door, pleased with himself.
--
Draco frowned at the door, unsure as to why he couldn't get it open. Trying again, Draco became increasingly frustrated with his inability to open the door.
Suddenly, a very excited Harry yanked it open.
Draco scowled at him.
"Come on, I have a surprise for you." Harry grinned.
"Did you lock me in the bathroom?" Draco questioned, his scowl deepening.
"Yeah, but that's because-" Harry began.
"YOU LOCKED ME IN THE BATHROOM?! WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL WERE YOU THINKING POTTER?!" Draco yelled.
"Hey, Malfoy, shove it for a second, would you?" Harry snapped in reply.
Draco glared at him.
"Look, I needed you to stay inside so that you wouldn't see what I was doing for you before I was finished." Harry explained.
Draco raised an eyebrow in addition to his glare.
"Would you just look out the window?" Harry asked.
Draco begrudgingly headed over to the window and looked out. "I'm still mad at you." Draco said.
Harry smiled. "Oh? Really?"
"Yes. Just because you spell out 'I'm sorry… I love you' on the front lawn doesn't mean that I forgive you." Draco replied.
"But it helps, right?" Harry questioned.
"…Yes…" Draco mumbled.
Harry grinned.
"But you should have remembered our anniversary, and taken yesterday off, and not have locked me in the bathroom- and of course it's important to me! I don't see why you think it wouldn't be important to me, and it's obviously not important to you and- why are you looking at me like that?" Draco asked.
Harry had a smile on his face, despite the fact that he was trying to suppress it.
"Harry! Why are you looking at me like that?!" Draco repeated.
"I know that I should have remembered our anniversary. Trust me, I won't forget again. And it is important to me." Harry said. "And you know you like my presents, even if I did get them the day of…"
"Your point?" Draco asked.
"My point is… I love you." Harry answered.
"And?" Draco prompted.
"What do you mean 'and'?" Harry questioned.
"By all means, don't stop there." Draco elaborated.
"And I'm sorry." Harry said.
Draco considered Harry's words before he replied, "Okay, I guess I can forgive you… but you're still sleeping on the couch tonight."
