Chapter nine
After Harry and Ginny had a passionate goodnight snog, Harry watched as she stepped into her room before stepping into his room, but he left his door ajar. He couldn't understand why he was allowing this to happen again when he was with Ginny, but he just couldn't help himself. Harry was standing in the middle of the room thinking about Draco Malfoy when he was turned roughly around and started to get kissed hungrily.
Harry and Draco never stopped kissing or touching as they moved towards the bedroom. Their lips only leaving the other while they undressed, then they joined again with tongues dancing with the other and hands touching everywhere. The two young men kissed, stroked, touched, licked and had sex with each other over the next couple of hours and until both were panting heavily with exhaustion.
Draco turned his head to stare at Harry, 'I still don't get why we're doing this Potter.'
'Neither do I, maybe because all our lives has been shit and that's why we're doing it. But I've decided to stop thinking about it.'
'You could be right, but I've started to develop feelings for Astoria, so why am I doing this and with you?'
'I'm dating Ginny and I'm shagging you. Anyway, we're going to see professor Dumbledore in the morning, you're not going to back out are you?'
Draco sneered, 'No, I said I would do it and I want my mother to have a chance to speak with her sister even if she only gets a chance to apologise. That's all she's expecting to be able to say, but she hopes there's more.'
'Fine, but it's still not up to me, but you have my word I'll talk to Andromeda about it. But since we are here and we've just shagged each other, I want to ask you something this time?'
'Okay, now I have to think of something I might want you to do.'
Harry laughed, 'Fine, but it's about why you never told them it was me?'
'I knew you were going to ask me that, well sooner or later you would. I hate admitting this because you're the blasted chosen one, Harry Potter, but I thought if you had a chance to get out of there, you just might be able to finish him off and I can finally have a proper life. I hate the fact that I thought of you like that, I still do, but if I was going to survive, I had to shove my pride and basically put my faith in you.'
'Well I did finish him off and I was destined to, well one of us destined to finish the other one. So you backed the right person Malfoy. So since you answered, does that mean you don't want anything from me?'
Draco rolled his eyes, 'Maybe another shag, blimey Potter, why do we want to shag each other when we both have good looking women waiting for us and we don't like each other?'
'Don't ask me Malfoy, maybe we're bi, did you ever think of that?'
'Actually I did, but it's the part of you and me shagging, not that I happen to be shagging a bloke.'
'Look Malfoy, you're going to get wrinkles if you keep stressing over this. I've learned that you either live with things that are out of your hands or you kill yourself, I want to live and if that means shagging you then I've accepted it, you need to do the same,' Harry stood up and pulled his jeans on.
'I hate the fact you're bloody right Potter, fine, I'll just accept what I can't change,' Malfoy stood up and pulled his clothes on, 'Can I ask you something though?'
Harry noticed Draco's voice had soften, 'You can ask, not sure if I'll answer you though.'
'The new scar, did he do that?'
'Yeah, hit me with the blasted killing curse again and before you ask, I can't explain why I survived.'
'Fine, I won't ask that, but I'll ask this as you're the only person to survive that curse. Did it hurt because normally you just die?'
'Yeah, it hurt, a lot, kept bleeding too. Madame Pomfrey gave me some potions for it. But I really don't want anyone to know Malfoy.'
Draco shrugged, 'I won't tell anyone that precious Potter got another scar, you're famous enough now,' he laughed.
'You're a prat, you know that Malfoy.'
'So you say, I think I'm wise, smart and better looking than you. But I'm going to bed, you wore me out.'
Harry laughed, 'You did the same to me, so I'll see you after breakfast to go up to McGonagall's office.'
'Alright, I said I'll do it and I will,' Draco shook his head, but ended up giving Harry a smile before leaving.
The following morning, Harry, Ginny and their friends were sitting at the Gryffindor table with the Weasley's.
'I have to go speak with Dumbledore and just so you don't get shocked, Malfoy is coming with me, I made a deal with him, he agreed. When I get back I'll tell all of you about a surprise I planned. Make sure I can find all of you.'
'You've spoken to Malfoy?' Ron asked.
'Yeah, I'll explain later though,' Harry kissed Ginny then met Malfoy at the door and they headed up to the headmistress office. Harry knew Professor McGonagall wasn't there, so he opened the door and stepped in.
'You didn't knock Potter.'
'I asked Professor McGonagall about us coming here, so it's fine, now get in here,' Harry grabbed Malfoy's arm and pulled him inside the office.
'No need to get rough Potter,' Draco pulled his arm out of Harry's but saw Harry raise his eyebrows, 'Not what I meant.'
Harry laughed the turned to face the portrait, 'Hello Professor.'
'Harry, Draco, I must say I'd never thought I'd see you two standing together without wands pointed at the other.'
Harry and Draco laughed, 'I sometimes want to Professor, but Draco has something he wants to say to you.'
'Yes Draco, what is it?'
Draco sneered at Harry again before looking up, 'I want to apologise for what happened that night, for what I said and for what I did.'
'Thank you for that apology Draco. But I was right, you were not a killer and I knew you did not want to kill me.'
'No, I didn't, I was scared.'
'Yes, I know you were, but I'm surprised you admitted that in front of Harry.'
'Well,' Draco glanced at Harry before looking back at the portrait, 'we've come to a sort of understanding.'
'Sometimes those understandings between enemies turn out to make the best of friends, once both parties put their pride away and their past. I always knew if you two weren't in opposite houses, that are known to be enemies, you could have been friends.'
'I wouldn't go that far Dumbledore,' Harry said then looked at Draco, 'Maybe not friends, but not enemies.'
'I agree with Potter, we're not enemies anymore, but I don't think we could be friends.'
'Well I have trusted Harry for years, but I will say this, don't dismiss it outright. Give yourselves time now that everyone has time.'
'We can do that, anyway, I've got a surprise to explain, I'm sure I'll talk to again Dumbledore.'
'I hope so Harry, I would miss talking to such a wise and caring young man. Draco, I'm sure you will do well now you are no longer under your father's influence, don't waste this chance you have been given.'
'I won't Professor and again, I'm sorry,' Draco gave him a small smile before turning to face Harry, 'No snide remarks Potter, but you get to keep your end of the bargain now.'
'I will, don't worry, I'm planning on seeing Andromeda tomorrow,' Harry opened the door and the two young men headed down the stairs and down into the school. Draco went over to the Slytherin table and Harry went to the Gryffindor table.
'So what's this surprise you've got planned?' Ginny asked as she slipped her arms around Harry and kissed him, but pushed her tongue into Harry's mouth, tasting him.
'You know I love you doing that, but it's not part of the surprise.'
'Cut it out and just tell us Harry, we stayed here so you could explain,' Hermione huffed.
'Don't get your wand in a knot Hermione,' Harry chuckled, 'I ordered and paid for twenty eight new brooms, I wanted to donate them to Hogwarts. So I figured with so many of us here, we could get a game going and we won't be able to do it in a proper Quidditch pitch once we leave.'
'We could play when we all come back Harry,' Ginny said.
'Um no, we can't, McGonagall is still working everything out. But there is going to be too many students, so we, Hermione, Ron, me, Neville, our age can't. But there setting up a place in the ministry where we can do our N.E.W.T.s, with aurors teaching us defence, an obliviator doing charms, their still working out all the details.'
'You mean I'll be here without all of you, I don't think I'll come back then,' Ginny hugged Harry tighter.
'Gin, I know it'll be hard, but you have to finish your education and we can see each other on Hogsmeade weekends and holidays.'
'I know I have to, it's the only way scouts can see me,' Ginny sighed.
Harry heard what Ginny said but couldn't work out why, he told her if they ended up together if the war was ever finished he wanted a family straight away. Ginny had agreed at the time, but it seems to Harry that she must have changed her mind, so he knew that a very intense talk would be taking place very soon and he wasn't sure what the outcome will be once he spoke to Ginny. He knew it was selfish on his part, but it's one thing he has always wanted, a family. He could understand how Ginny wouldn't get that, having a big family of her own, that's what Harry wanted.
'The main thing with this though is we were apart for so long Harry and all my friends are your age, I won't have anyone my age that I'm close to.'
'I know Gin, but you can put all your free time into studying, finish off with the best marks you can get.'
'I will but since you aren't going to be here maybe McGonagall will make me captain, if so I'm going to train the team hard so we can win the cup and make the scouts take notice of me.'
Hearing the way Ginny sounded, he knew he might be in for a fight to get her to agree to kids right after she finished Hogwarts but she knew how he felt, for now he knew they had time.
'Why don't we get everyone to play Quidditch?'
'Well I know Charlie, Bill and George will play,' Ron grinned.
'Dean and Seamus will, Angelina is here visiting George, so she would, but we'd need another player to make it five a team,' Harry said then looked around, 'I have an idea for a tenth player if you're willing Ron?'
'Who, because I can't see anyone else that can play.'
'Malfoy, he's been okay Ron, I know that's hard to believe but he has and he did lie to his father and Bellatrix. So how about it, we need a tenth?'
'Fine, but you ask him, if I do I'll probably hex him, but he can't play seeker, Charlie was seeker.'
'That's fine, we have to work out the others anyway, so give me a minute and I'll ask him,' Harry kissed Ginny again then walked over to the other table to talk a Slytherin into playing Quidditch with a bunch of Gryffindor's.
