Chapter Eight:
After about half of potions class Draco's hand starts to wander closer and closer to Harry's groin. Harry tries to move away from Draco but Draco's hand clamps down on his leg, keeping him in place.
"S-Stop it, Draco!" Harry whispers angrily as his face heats up a bit.
"Stop what?" Draco asks innocently, causing Harry to glare at him.
"You know what!" Harry continues to keep his voice at a level only Draco can hear but still makes it sound very angry.
Once class was over Harry hurried out of the classroom, flustered. Draco sighs as he follows his mate out of the classroom and towards their second class. Ron and Blaise followed behind. They were walking close together and Blaise had his arm around Ron.
"I wonder why Harry is upset…" Ron mumbles curiously as he watches Harry storm off.
"Draco was probably flirting with him too much in Potions or something," Blaise snickers as he kisses Ron's cheek, causing the red head to blush.
Soon it was lunch time and Harry was still a bit pissed at Draco though he had mostly forgiven him. Though Harry was starting to get pissed again because at the moment Draco was trying to get Harry to sit on his lap while they ate.
"Draco, I refuse to! That's so embarrassing!" Harry insists as his face turns the colour of Ron's hair.
"But Harry," Draco whines as he tries not to pout. Why does his mate have to be so difficult?
"Fine," Harry grumbles, though it is mostly just to shut Draco up. Draco smiles the brightest smile Harry has ever seen as he pulls the raven onto his lap. Draco had been trying for ten minutes and Harry was tired of the argument, and this wasn't as bad as he thought… Draco was quite comfortable and – BLOODY HELL WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT BUMP PRESSING AGAINST HIS THIGH?!?!?!?!?!
"DRACO!" Harry shouts angrily as he quickly darts off of the blonde's lap. Draco blushes a fierce red and mumbles an apology. Ron and Blaise just look at the two with interest. They found watching the other two boys more interesting than Quitich, even.

Draco followed Harry around for the rest of the day, saying he was sorry and trying to get Harry to forgive him. Harry just ignored Draco and ran off to the Gryffindor common room as soon as classes were over.
"I really messed up, didn't I, Blaise?" Draco pouts as he collapses onto the green couch in the Slytherin common room. The only reason they were in there was because Ron had gone off to try and talk to Harry.
"I'm sure he'll forgive you, Draco. He was just a bit shocked that you… uh… got hard so easily," Blaise snickers.
"It isn't funny!" Draco says angrily as his face reddens once again.
"Sure, sure, whatever," Blaise says between giggles. Draco glares at his friend before storming out of the common room and towards the stairs that would lead to the stairs that lead to the astronomy tower. But unknown to Draco, Harry was also seeking refuge in the astronomy tower.

Once at the astronomy tower Draco sees Harry sitting on the floor, staring up at the sky. The blonde goes over and sits beside his mate, hoping that Harry will not run away when he sees him.
"What do you want, Draco?" Harry asks angrily, though Draco notices that Harry doesn't call him Malfoy even though he is angry.
"I came up here to think, actually. But I want to apologize to you... again…" Draco says softly as he places a hand on Harry's.
"I really didn't mean for… that… to happen…" Draco mutters as his face glows red. Harry sighs as he moves his hand so that their fingers are intertwined.
"I know… I was just a bit creeped out…" Harry murmurs as he leans his head on Draco's shoulder.
Draco slowly moves his arms around Harry's body, holding his mate close. His mate had never been so affectionate before and he was going to take advantage of it.
"You aren't actually that bad, Draco… I mean, I could have ended up with someone worse, I guess…" Harry mumbles as he curls up against Draco.
"Well I'm very happy to have ended up with someone as caring and kind as you," Draco says quietly as he kisses Harry's forehead.
The two just sit there in silence for a few hours after that, though it isn't an awkward silence. Draco continues to hold Harry tightly in his arms and place gentle kisses on the raven's forehead and cheeks. Harry just presses against the blonde's chest and slowly falls into a happy, dreamless sleep. After a while Draco conjures a blanket and some pillows before snuggling closer to Harry and also falling asleep.

The next morning Harry wakes up in Draco's arms. Even though he wants to feel creeped out by this, he can't. It just feels so right to be in Draco's embrace. He curls up closer to Draco's chest as he listens to the calming sound of Draco's breathing.
"Damn it, I think I'm falling for you, Draco…" Harry whispers softly. Even though Draco is asleep, he still hears these words and they fill his dreams and heart. When he wakes up he feels so much lighter and happier.
"I had a good dream last night…" Draco mumbles sleepily as he pulls Harry tightly against his chest.
"What about?" Harry asks curiously.
"About you… most of my dreams about you are amazing. Well, a few of them have been about you rejecting me… but that's only a few," Draco says happily as he presses his face into Harry's untamable raven locks.
"Hmmm…" Harry replies tiredly. He doesn't want to get into a really serious relationship with Draco yet, but for now he has no plans of rejecting his Veela.
