Chapter 5
The small little restaurant in Hogsmeade is perfect for the date Draco had planed. The atmosphere is very romantic and warm Harry thinks as they enter the cozy place. A brunette waitress guides them to their table and does nothing to conceal her obvious curiosity.
Harry had heard of this place before. Apparently Ron and Seamus had been there just a few days ago. Harry doesn't even bother wondering how they could have since the last Hogsmeade visit had been quite a long time ago.
Both boys seem to be having a good time eating and drinking. The smalltalk however leaves to be desired. Desperately trying to find a topic to talk about Harry decides to tell Draco something about his conversation with Ron and Hermione.
"So Ron and Hermione seem to think you have some deep dark ulterior motive for asking me out."
The blond Slytherin nearly chokes on his butterbeer when he hears the Gryffindor's statement. Oh Merlin. If only Weasel and the Mud-blood knew his former motive for asking the brunette out. Yup former. Draco has come to terms with his... attraction for Harry. Calming down his racing heart Draco schools his features and looks Harry straight in the eyes.
"I pretty much don't give a damn what they think. I like you and they'll have to deal with it."
Harry smiles at Draco's honesty and nods. The blond is glad he doesn't have to lie to Harry. Hell the Slytherin doesn't even care that he was slowly but surly falling for the brunette Gryffindor. Before either of them knows it they are back at Hogwarts.
Time nearing curfew Draco and Harry make their way to the Gryffindor tower. As they stand in front of the portarit of the fat lady the blond feels a sudden urge to kiss Harry, but not just kiss him. To actually, for once in his life, to do it after having given permission.
"Harry... can I kiss you?"
Darco feels stupid asking him. It wasn't like they'd never kissed before, but-
"Yes."
Without further thought the Slytherin connects his lips with Harry's own. Merlin how he loves kissing the brunette. For Draco it was Christmas, his birthday and Merlin knows what other holidays together, but it also ends sooner than he wants every time.
The two break apart and smile at each other. They lock eyes and for a few seconds they do nothing but look at the other. Harry is the first to break their stare. He leans forwards and kisses Draco on the cheek. Moving his mouth to the blond's ear Harry speaks in a low whisper.
"I really had fun today. Night Dray."
With that Harry leaves a grinning Slytherin in front of the Gryffindor tower looking like he had just won the lottery.
A/N: Sorry it took so long and that it was so short. I still have like a gazillion exams to go! I'll update as soon as possible...:)
