Chapter seven
Harry and Draco had a very pleasant evening, after dinner they went to a club and listened to the music. Draco asked Harry to dance, but he explained he couldn't dance. So Draco waited until a slow song played, then took Harry's hand and led him out onto the dance floor. Harry glanced around at everyone feeling very unsure of himself but when he felt Draco's arms slip around his waist, then all Harry could think about was the blond who was holding him.
Harry gave a very nervous smile then put his arms around Draco and they slowly danced around in circles. Neither of them noticed the music had changed to something more upbeat, they just kept staring at each other which made Harry blush a lot. His eyes moved to Draco's lips then back up to the silver grey eyes that seem to see right through Harry.
They didn't know how long they stood on the dance floor staring at each other, but they moved closer until their bodies were pressed against the other, then their lips were joined in a very hot and passionate kiss. Harry felt like he was drowning and then Draco's arms tighten around him, holding him up, but not once did their lips leave the other.
When air was becoming a problem, that's when they finally released each other.
'Do you want to come back to my place for a while?' Draco asked a little nervously.
'Um, sure, what did you have in mind?' Harry blushed brightly.
'I thought we could keep getting to know each other.'
'Okay,' Harry went to move, but Draco slipped his hand into Harry's making them both smile before they left the club, then Draco apparated them both away. 'This isn't Malfoy manor.'
'Mother sold that, it was father that liked that place, mother never did, but neither did I. She bought another house and then bought me this.'
'Oh, so you live alone,' Harry chewed on his lip as he stared at the beautiful house.
'Yes, but you don't have to look so nervous Harry.'
'This is all new to me.'
'Come inside and relax,' Draco kept hold of Harry's hand and they stepped into the house. He released Harry's hand, poured them both a drink then gestured for Harry to sit on one of the sofa's before sitting next to him, handing him a drink. He watched as Harry knocked back the whole thing and he could see how nervous Potter really was.
'Why are you so nervous, we've spent the last few hours together?'
'Um,' Harry looked at anything but Draco Malfoy, 'I'm just wondering what you expect.'
'Oh, I see, you think since we're alone at my home that I'm going to talk you into sex.'
'I'm not sure, but sex did enter my mind. I just think it's a bit soon.'
'I agree, we're still getting to know one another. So since I said that, relax Harry.'
Harry gave another nervous smile, 'Yeah, relax. I'm not normally a nervous bloke.'
'Maybe that's true, but this is all new to you as you just said. So we take our time and see if anything comes of it. I admit I've really liked our time together and would like to see where this could go, but you have to want that as well.'
'I do, it's just that I've never had a proper relationship before. With Ginny, it just seemed to happen and since we were always together. It didn't seem strange and I never felt nervous around her.'
'You practically grew up with her Harry, we grew up hating each other and always having a go at each other. So with us, it's going to take some time until we're comfortable,' Draco put his drink on the small table, then took Harry's glass and placed it next to his. He turned back to Harry, shifted until they were sitting as close as possible, 'I enjoyed kissing you, I would like to do it again.'
Harry felt that heat start in his stomach again, but as he stared at Draco's lips, a jolt of electricity seemed to head straight to his groin, which started things moving. Then before he could think about it anymore, their lips were joined in another hot, searing and wet kiss. Their arms were around each other, Harry's hands were fisting Draco's hair and he was trying to pull him closer. Before he knew what was happening, they were lying down on the sofa, their lips still joined and their hands all over each other. Within seconds their hips were grinding against the other and both men were hard and full.
They both were panting heavily as they released the other, 'Wow,' Harry blushed again.
Draco chuckled, 'Very eloquently put Potter,' Draco smirked, 'But I agree with you, wow,' Draco reached his hand up and ran it along Harry's scar, 'I've never seen this up close before.'
'I try not to look at it,' Harry stared into those beautiful grey eyes then down his face until he spotted a scar on Draco's neck. His finger reached up and traced it until it disappeared into his shirt, 'What happened?'
Draco looked back into Harry's eyes, 'One of those scars from that day in the bathroom.'
'Oh blimey, I'm sorry Draco,' Harry had jerked his hand and eyes away but felt the blond take his hand and place it back on his neck. He lifted his eyes and could see that Draco wanted him to touch him.
'It's the past, we both have to put that behind us. That day was my fault if you remember.'
'When I saw you lying there,' Harry shuddered, 'I felt sick and couldn't believe I could ever do something like that to anyone.'
'Uncle Severus told me that was his spell but not much more about it. How did you know about that, it's dark magic?'
'I had Snape's old potion book. He had spells in it, along with changes for potions. I had no idea who the Half-blood Prince was. That was the name in the front of the book. Hermione did some research, found out that Prince was Snape's mother's name and he was a halfblood.'
'It sounds like you didn't know what that spell could do.'
'I didn't,' Harry moved until he was sitting, 'It had for enemies next to it. I wasn't intending to use it because I had no idea what it did. But when I heard you say crucio, something inside me just snapped and it was the first thing that came to me.'
'This is what I was talking about, we have a bad past that we need to put behind us. We've both done things we're not proud of, me more than you, naturally. We can talk all this out, we will have to eventually if this relationship develops into more than just dating.'
'Is that what you want, to get serious?'
'Maybe, I think it's a bit soon for either of us to think about that.'
Harry nodded, 'I agree, so we keep dating, keep snogging, see what happens.'
'Yes, but I did want to say that since we can finally go out and have normal lives, date like anyone else, then we should. Once word gets out that you're gay and single, you will be asked. I admit that I would like it to be just us, but we've both had so much going on in our lives over the last few years. We need to find our true selves and we need to see if we might be attracted to others or if this is what is meant to be.'
Harry stared into Draco's grey eyes again and felt a little stab of jealousy and disappointment. But as he stared at Draco he realised he was right. They needed to find themselves before they could consider seeing if this is what is meant to be.
Harry never thought he would end up dating Draco even when he did figure out he was gay. But now here he was, sitting beside the blond. They had been on their first date, they shared a meal, they danced and snogged, that is how a lot of relationships start. So Harry figured since now he could finally be like everyone else, be normal, he would keep doing what he just was. Talk and snog, he hoped a lot more of snogging the blond though. Those lips made Harry's body come alive, like nothing ever had before.
