Don't Tell Me It Was All Pretend: Show The School Our Secret
DRACOS POV
"Tell the school our secret? I don't know, no one will believe us if we just told them." Harry picked absently at his cloak.
"So...Do you think that we should let someone, just you know, find us being 'friendly'?"
"'Friendly' haha, what a stupid word. I thought we were supposed to be madly in love."
"Don't make fun of my words. I can't help if its a one-sided love. I'll just have to act like I have a crush on you, were you will have no problem playing the part."
Harry pinched Draco's arm.
"You are so full of yourself. Just because I think you're a great kisser doesn't mean that I'm in love with you." Harry dropped a piece of lint he managed to pick off and just stared into the space in front of him, his face growing red and it wasn't because of the cold. "I did not just say that did I?"
"You think that I'm a great kisser?" Draco smirked, satisfied. Inside of him there was a miniature Draco running around his head screaming 'He thinks I'm a great kisser, a great kisser!' "Of course I am, how could you think that I'd be anything less?"
"Oh just shut up about it now." Harry looked the other way, fidgeting. He's probably wishing he could kiss me now. Draco thought.
"Next thing I'll know, you'll be mauling me in the corridors, wanton with your need for my lips against yours." Harry blushed, not able to think of a comment.
"With that invisibility cloak of yours, you'll sneak into the Slytherin dorms and pounce on me while I'm sleeping." Draco grinned while Harry was mumbling under his breath.
"Or you'll-" which was as far as Draco could get as Harry had pushed him off the rock and together they tumbled into the snow, laughing. Harry landed on top of Draco, their noses almost touching.
"You did that on purpose, just to get close to me." Draco smiled at the boy above him. If he were the romantic type, he would have taken notice of the snow falling around them, creating a world were only the two of them existed. He would have noticed the sun rising behind Harry's head, giving him a godly appearance. But Draco was not that kind of person, he only noticed a few things. The deep green eyes, the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen staring at him. He saw the boys rosy cheeks, and his own silvery eyes traveled lower to his lips where Harry had proceeded to lick them in the cold. All he could feel was the Gryffindor golden boy laying between his legs, forgetting that his bare hands were burried in very cold snow. He didn't hear footsteps approaching, just the quickening of his heartbeat that he felt sure Harry couldn't help but hear.
"You are so full of yourself." Harry repeated. His arm brushed against Draco's own in an attempt to brace himself better against the ground. Harry looked away from him, but then his gaze returned and Draco never understood what overcame him then. Why he had let himself get lost in his emotions, why he hadn't been more alert and had let himself get caught. Harry's lip were right above him, all he had to do was raise his head a few inches and he could kiss this boy, this boy who thought that he was a great kisser. This boy that he had fought with all his life. Draco closed his eyes and leaned forward, reaching an arm around Harry's neck, pulling his body closer to his. Harry didn't fight it and the mini Draco that lived in his mind, fell backwards into a sea of bliss. This kiss was nothing planned, nothing just to get the other to shut up, it was one that both wanted. Harry swiped his tongue against Draco's lips, teasing him. Draco opened his mouth, but Harry wasn't there. He opened his eyes and he was there smiling at him, with a look that said Haha, you let everyone think you were the Prince of Ice, no more feeling than a rock, but I know better now. Harry leaned down to him so slowly Draco sighed when their lips met again, their kissing slow, neither felt the need to hurry. That was until a very loud gasp broke them apart.
There, standing very shocked before them was a Ravenclaw couple. The boy stood there holding his girlfriends hand, mouth wide, eyes disbelieving. The girl smiled at them, then covered her mouth to stop from laughing. The boy mouthed something that looked like OH MY GOD before he pulled his girl towards the castle, no doubt rushing to tell the nearest living thing he saw, that Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter were kissing by the lake.
"Suppose we don't have to worry about how the school will find out about our secret." Harry smiled at him, no feeling hidden in his face, his lips twisted into a lopsided grin.
"Yeah, you like the way I kissed you right when they showed up? Such perfect timing. Saw them coming and just couldn't pass the moment up." Harry's brow creased as he frowned down at him and his stomach did a flip. Why am I lying to him? I had no idea they were there. Draco placed a cold hand against Harry's chest and gently pushed him off, thoughts twirling in his head. But to Harry this is a game remember? Nothing real, like a play. He felt Harry's eyes on his back as he stood and he didn't understand why the other was frowning at him, looking slightly angry, trying to hide it. Got to keep my feelings out of it. Draco ran his hands through his hair and grabbed Potter's hand and pulled him up. What feelings? he shouted in his head, surprised at the thought. This is Harry Potter I'm talking about, my old enemy, a guy. I'm not gay! He handed Harry is paper bag that held the strawberries and nodded toward the castle.
"Lets walk to the castle and greet the rumors that no doubt have spread throughout the entire castle by now. Give me your hand." Harry's eyes looked unfocused but he complied with Draco and they walked hands held together to the castle. If I'm not gay, then why does my stomach flip every time hes around. I feel so hot when he's around, like I can never catch my breath. When I walk down the corridors why do I stop and wonder what he's doing, feeling hopeful that I'll meet him around the corner? Draco rubbed his thumb absently over Harry's hand and had no answers for his ever growing questions.
HARRY'S POV
Harry was so confused he felt like his head was going to spin off his shoulders. He and Draco and the most amazing kiss yet minutes before with the strawberries. And moments before, Draco had kissed him, for no reason, the only one apparent was because he had wanted to. He had kissed him back and he could still taste the sweetness of the fruit on his lips. Laying between the Slytherin's legs was so sensual. He had lost himself then, warmth flowing through his body even though he was lying in the snow. He hadn't even heard the Ravenclaw's approach, but somehow Draco had. Did that mean that he hadn't gotten lost in the kiss the way that he had. Had he done it just to solve the problem of telling their peers? Harry tightened his grasp on Draco's gloved hand involuntarily in a flash of anger directed at himself. This isn't real you idiot! he screamed at himself. Draco doesn't want to go out with you, he'd rather be fed to a flobberworm. There's just something worse than me that has forced him into this. We're just pretending. Harry reigned in his feelings. It must just be his lack of relationships that made him feel that way. He was getting his emotions confused with the primal need for affection. Draco's kisses and his touch wasn't something that he wanted, he would be happy with anybody's. Wouldn't I? He wouldn't know, he had never really done such things with another person. Cho didn't really count.
"Are you ready?" Draco soft voice broke through his thoughts. He had a hand placed on the door handle and was looking at him questioningly. Harry put on a wide smile.
"Are you kidding me? I'm ready to tell everyone how you like to were a pink wig a give me a lap dance to the beat of Britney Spears and-" Draco opened the door smiling after he hit him over the head. Students in the hallway stopped in their tracks, staring at them.
"Can I help you?" Draco snarled harshly. Draco leaned his head towards Harry, acting as if he was telling him a secret. "We have got to give them our best flirting show, convince them in the beginning. Oh this is so fun, messing with all their heads." Draco's eyes met his and they were positively shining. "Just keep walking." He whispered.
Harry leaned down to his ear, watching as others stood to the side of them, mouths dropping open, a few had already dropped their books and one student spilt his butterbear he had been holding over a teachers robe. As the teacher looked up in shock from the spilt drink, Harry saw that it was Professor Flitwick, whose eyes went wide when he saw them pass, and as he saw what Harry did.
"I've got it, don't worry. Love." Harry laughed in Draco's ear and licked it, tracing his way down the boys neck, still walking down the hallway. Somebody made a loud thump as they fainted and Draco laughed. They stopped before the Great Hall with the doors thrown wide open. Students inside stopped talking as Draco roughly threw Harry against the door, pulling his hands above his head and kissed him. Harry raised his knee between Draco's spread legs, moaning a little. Daco grinned against his cheek and Harry bit his ear teasingly. They looked at each other, trying desperately to not laugh, seeing their friends shocked faces was almost too much to handle. But their eyes met and they became serious again, feelings they were trying to deny came rushing forward and Draco gave Harry a hickey on his collarbone, one shaped like a snake, branding him.
"Mine." Whispered Draco against Harry's swollen lips.
"Well, it seems that Hogwarts notorious enemies have graciously forgiven each other." Said Dumbledore from the head table a bit breathless. Harry and Draco broke apart, blushing in front of their audience. "Would you two care to join everyone else for breakfast?" The headmaster's eyes twinkled at them. Harry pulled Draco's hand as he started walking away from him, and Draco spun against Harry's chest.
"Nice move there Potter." he said quietly. Harry kissed him once and dropped his hand, walking to his table. The only sound in the hall was of Draco's and Harry's footsteps. Harry sat down next to Ron and across from Hermione.
"Can you pass the bacon?" Hermione's head snapped up and she nodded. Slowly as she handed him the plate of bacon, her face broke into a big grin and soon the Great Hall was loud with excited chatter of what the two boys were doing together. Exclamations of "What a show!" "Who would have thought?" "I just don't believe it..." "He must have him under a spell..." "Well Draco has charisma, not to mention wealth!" The last was giggled by a few girls away from Harry. No tables were as loud as the ones Harry and Draco sat, their classmates were nearly crawling on the table, and Colin Creevy succeeded in doing so, shouting questions at them to be heard above the others surrounding them, trying to get answers. Draco and Harry just grinned and ate the food laid before them. Both lost in the memories of the other. Harry saw Draco touch his lips briefly and Harry smiled.
