Chapter eight
Bliss may find you
Harry was rushing up the stairs trying not to bump into some students who were heading to the diner hall.
'I'm going to write him a letter. Just like he did. Well I guess it's not very inventive but it's perfect for expressing my damn feelings…since I could never tell him face to face...'
Immersed in his deep thoughts, Harry didn't recognize his two friends shouting for him – "Damn it…stop Harry! What are you doing??" Ron and Hermione were trying to catch up with him but he was too fast. As they came to the Gryffindor common room Harry got slower and Ron could stop him – breathing heavily … "Dude…since when do you run this fast?"
Not knowing what Ron meant Harry just said – "I've gotta do something. I'm going to write a letter to Draco. Don't worry I'll be done when the next class begins – see you then." And Harry chased off again up the stairs.
He left Ron standing there shaking his head – "Oh man. It's getting serious." Hermione finally reached Ron. Breathing heavily she sat down on the next chair – raddled in exhaustion. When her breath was regular again she asked Ron – "So what the hell is going on now?" "Well…he's writing a letter – to Draco. And he said he's gonna see us when next class starts…" He slid onto a chair next to Hermione's "…He's totally obsessed with him." Hermione thought to see a desperate look on Ron's face and laid a hand on his knee – "It's alright Ron. It's not like he'll forget us because of him." Hermione obviously hit Ron's nerve…his eyes got watery – "But he hates us! And his friends? I'd rather kill myself than talking to them. He's going to hang out with them…without out. Without…me." Ron was afraid of losing his friend. Hermione didn't know what to say. Secretly she also thought about that but then she said: "Ach bullshit. He's never going to leave us. He's our friend – never forget about that. And now be a man …or at least try to and come on. We gotta go to class." "I am a man! A very manly one okay!" – He jumped out of the chair and looked at Hermione with an angry face but immediately started to laugh. Hermione did like him and so they went off to their next classroom.
Meanwhile Harry was sitting on his desk, a feather in his hand ready to write. But he didn't know how to start…
'Draco…dear Draco…no that sounds weird – dear fellow! What the..? Erm…
Draco,
What happened last night was something I didn't expected. It was surprising. But I want you to know that it wasn't surprising in a bad way…I know you might think that I was shocked because I didn't liked it or some like that. But it's just not like that.
In fact I spent the last two days dreaming of that moment.
I wanted to be near you.
But I couldn't.
I wanted to touch you.
But I couldn't.
I wanted to kiss you.
But I couldn't.
I couldn't.
Because I was way too shy.
Because I was too insecure.
Because I was too scared.
And then you kissed me.
It was overwhelming…in that moment I wasn't able to think…to move or to say anything.
That's the reason why I just said…nothing. The last few days all those feelings for you were boiling inside me.
They wanted to be left out but I wasn't able to find a way to do so.
But then they found a way. Or you found the way…in kissing me.
All those feelings overwhelming me – I just wasn't able to handle them properly.
But now I finally realized what those feelings mean to me.
I'm telling you all that because I want to apologize.
I want to apologize to you that I hurt you in a way I never meant to hurt you.
And I hope you are able to forgive me…someday.
I love you.
Harry.
Damn it…I really hope this will make it…'
A brief look at his watch and Harry stood up. He put the letter into a envelope and casted a spell that would make the letter find its way to Draco, took his books and rushed away.
When Harry finished his last class he met up with Ron and Hermione to go to dinner. Harry secretly looked for Draco but he couldn't find him anywhere. After dinner Ron and Harry had to leave to detention… "Oh man…Snape is gonna torture us." Hermione smiled – "Well have fun then!" And she left to the Gryffindor common room.
As Ron and Harry came to the Dungeons Snape was already waiting for them – "There you finally are. You're now going to write an extra essay about today's Potion class and what we learned today. 1000 words minimum. Have fun." With those words he vanished behind a huge pile of different books stapled on his desk. "As I said…torture." Ron whispered. Harry just smiled at him and then sat down on the next desk. Ran sat down right next to him and both started working on the essay – even though they had no idea what they did today morning. Sometimes they would start whispering and consulting with each other when they got lost – which would happen pretty often. Suddenly the door to the dungeons opened and a student slid in. Harry recognized it by the noise the door made – a loud creak. He looked up and his jar dropped open.
A skinny boy with blond hair and shiny grey eyes Harry knew too well walked up to Snape in order to talk to him.
'What is he doing here? Did he come for me? Rather not…he's talking to Snape - probably a question about Homework or something about something randomly else. I wonder if he already read my letter. Oh my, he probably still thinks I'm a jerk. What if he didn't mean it after all? What if he fooled me? Kissing me is a weird joke though...'
Snape gave Draco a serious look but then he walked over to Harry: "You're dismissed in order to help Draco with his homework. I don't know why he would want you help but anyways, you can go." Harry's face enlightened immediately. He didn't know what to say so he just grinned broadly took his books and stood up, handed Snape the essay he wrote so far and was about to leave. "What about me?" Ron moaned from behind. Scruples were coming up in Harry's mind. He totally forgot about Ron. He suddenly was terribly ashamed of himself.
Draco seemed to notice his issue and added addressing Snape: "You know, actually it would be a great help for me if Ron was coming with us."
Snape made an angry face but crunched a silent "Alright."
Ron jumped off his seat: "Yesss!" He then saw Snape's angry face… "I mean. Okay thank you, it's an honor for me to help Draco with his homework." Then he rushed out of the room. When he passed Harry he whispered: "Have fun" and a "Thank you" to Draco, then left.
'Draco getting us out of detention? Maybe he did read my letter!´ Harry's heart began to beat faster.
Draco and Harry now where standing outside of the dungeons facing each other. "Not here." – Draco whispered, took Harry's hand and took him with him. Harry was nervous… "Where are we going?"
"Surprise" Draco just answered and went on still holding Harry's hand.
Harry was confused… 'Getting me out of detention and then leading me to some place? What is he doing? He's holding my hand…' He smiled to himself. Suddenly Draco stopped.
"Where are we?" – Harry asked as he looked around to get an idea where they were. But Draco just smiled at him, let his hand go and touched with both of his hands the wall next to them. All of the sudden a door appeared. Draco slightly opened it and took Harry's hand again pulling him inside the room that seemed to had come out of nowhere. As they passed the door, it vanished again. Harry suddenly knew where they were but he hadn't got enough time to think about it as all of the sudden Draco hugged him tight.
"I'm so glad you wrote me that letter. I…I thought…I thought you wouldn't like me. I was acting very stupid, I just ran away. I'm sorry." He whispered into Harry's ear whose face was slightly red yet again.
"You don't have to be sorry. I have to be. I should have said something. I should have…" but he wouldn't come to end his sentence as Draco's soft lips would stop him from talking. Harry got all shaky, but this time he responded the kisses. He placed his one hand on Draco's neck and the other one on his chest, while Draco would drag Harry's body closer to his having his arms around Harry's hips. The kisses grew more intense by every time their lips would meet each other.
As if the room could read minds a giant mattress appeared on the ground. Draco dragged Harry backwards onto the mattress – still kissing…not willing to let off of each other. They slowly laid down – Draco on the top. He soon had his hands all over Harry…
Harry was roused and he enjoyed being with Draco, but it was a little bit too fast for him – "Draco? I…I think I'm not ready yet to…you know…to do it…"
Draco smiled, caressing Harry's cheek "Oh don't worry it's alright. I can wait for you."
With those words he kissed Harry gently on the cheek and lied down next to him. They kept cuddling and kissing a few hours until they finally fell asleep – Harry lying in Draco's arms.
Bliss surrounding them…
