Harry POV
"Harry, what shall I say? What shall I do? This proposal thing is driving me nuts" mumbled Ron, pacing staring up at the celing, they both couldn't sleep. Hermione and Ginny were fast asleep and Harry assumed Seamus was with Blaise, he wished he'd have gone to win back the blonde. "Ron, listen to me, just say what you feel, tell her how much you love her, how she makes you feel, how your never going to give up on her when things go wrong" Harry tailed off as the picture of Hermione faded and a certain Slytherin replaced her. Harry felt tears welling up in his eyes and bit back a sob, as he thought about Draco. His heart felt broken, he needed Draco so much, the pain was unbearable. "your right mate, Merlin we'd better win tomorrow" sighed Ron, playing with his fingers. "Ron we have a pretty good team, you are a excellent keeper and you'll do great" comforted Harry, patting Ron's shoulder. "here mate" called Ron and threw Harry a bag of colourful sweets, on the bag, HoneyDukes was written in fancy letters. Harry smiled and popped a sweet in his mouth, trying not to forget how sweet Draco's lips tasted, how he always smelt of lemons and vanilla, how soft and beautiful his hair was. His flawless pale skin like marble, those silver, seductive eyes that made Harry weak at the knees. He turned his head, combing his fingers through his hair. He remembered the way Draco ran his pale, slim but strong fingers through his hair. The feel of his fingers on his face and his body, the way Draco looked at him with passion swimming in pools of silver eyes. Harry had to stop this, he couldn't do anything without it reminding him of Draco. His heart longed for Draco to fix the hole he'd left. Now that Hermione was about to marry Ron (she would never say no) he felt lonley, how was he going to keep from crying when he saw Draco with Blaise at the wedding. When it was time to slow dance, how could he watch Draco in Blaise's arms, when it should be him. How could he force himself to hold Ginny when all he wanted was for the blonde to wrap his arms around his waist like before. Of course he wanted Draco to attend the wedding, at least then he could be in the same room as him. That was if Ron allowed the Slytherins to come to the wedding. "mate, I want to ask you something, don't feel you have to if you don't want to but I figured, your my best friend right? and we've been through a lot of crazy shit and all, there's no one else I've wanted to be my best friend but you, so I'd be really chuffed if you'd be my best man?" asked Ron, looking at Harry, seriously. Harry almost had tears in his eyes, he'd never felt so touched. "course I will mate, I'd be honoured" smiled Harry and bear hugged Ron.
Draco POV
Draco felt alone, Blaise had fucked off and Pansy and Theo were soundly asleep. Draco had really thought he could make a go of it with Blaise, but he just disappeared in the middle of the night, not saying a word. Draco couldn't help thinking about Harry, the thought of Harry locking lips with the female Weasley made him seethe with anger. His heart had pained the last few days without Harry, to not see those beautiful emerald eyes felt like needles in his chest. Draco had never felt about someone this way before, Harry had done something to him. Harry had left his mark on Draco's heart, and he knew it. Why hadn't Draco told him that this thing they had could continue? He remembered Potter screaming at the top of his lungs how much he was in love with him. Draco had done the same, yet instead of growing a pair and breaking up with Blaise and Ginny, they hid away. Draco held back the tears which were forcing themselves out of his eyes. Why did everything in his life had to be complicated? Why did he and his father have to be Deatheaters? Why was his mother the only person in the world that loved him uncontrollably and would for as long as he lived? Why did his friends have beautiful relationships that would lead on to marriage? Why did the whole school hate him, just because they found out he had been on the Dark side, even though he desperatley wanted to be on the Light? Why did Blaise want to cheat on him? Was he not good enough? Was his life not worth living. Why did his heart have a hole only Harry Potter could fill? "Malfoy's don't cry" whispered Draco, tears pouring down his face.
Blaise POV
"I should be getting back" sighed Blaise, noticing the time. His arms were wrapped tightly around Seamus as they sat on the cold hard floor of the Astronomy Tower. "This is the last time isn't it?" asked Seamus, knowing the answer. Blaise didn't say anything but nodded. Blaise tried to hold back tears as he looked into the other boy's eyes, he wanted him so much, how could something so precious be so forbidden? Blaise's heartstrings tugged at the thought of never kissing the Irish boy again. Never running his hands through that thick brown hair, never looking into those deep blue eyes with hunger and desire. Never feeling his toned torso and he pressed breathless kisses around his neck. Seamus looked down at the floor and stayed silent. Blaise tilted his chin up so their lips were at the same angle, it wasn't long before their lips intertwined. The kiss was demanding, urgent, hoping time would go slower so the kiss could continue. Blaise wrapped his arms around Seamus's waist firmly, never wanting to let go. Seamus wrapped his arms around Blaise's arms, he was gasping for breath but didn't stop the frantic kiss. Blaise was the first to pull away, he knew if they carried on he wouldn't be able to stop. "that was the last kiss, wasn't it?" asked Seamus, pressing a light kiss on Blaise's lips. Blaise nodded and held Seamus to his chest, kissing the top of his head. Blaise couldn't bring himself to let Seamus go, to let himself say goodbye. Goodbye seemed one of the hardest words to say at that point in time. He never thought he'd become this attached, Never thought he'd kill for just one more kiss. But Blaise knew he had to say goodbye, he didn't want to hurt Seamus anymore by staying. "Its time" whispered Blaise, and kissed Seamus's forehead firmly, Seamus pulled Blaise collar and kissed him fiercely. "Now that's a goodbye kiss" sobbed Seamus and left the Astronomy Tower.
Harry POV
Harry couldn't sleep that night, neither could Ron, Harry suspected nerves were keeping him awake. Hermione slept peacefully next to Ron, totally unaware that tomorrow she would get the suprise of her life. Maybe wedding planning would keep his mind off Draco, he had a lot to do, the best man had to check every guest was here, check RSVP'S (because he was the only one who lived life as a complete muggle, well except Hermione but she was the bride, she had far more important things to do), make sure he had someone eligable conduct the ceremony, make sure food was sorted, invitations were handed out and all that stressful stuff. With all that on top of his mind, he could forget about Draco right? Right now his best friends needed him to give them a wedding they'd never forget.
The next morning Harry woke up earlier than usual, he wanted to be alone with his thoughts while everyone was asleep. The only thing he had on his mind was the blonde Slytherin. He wondered what he would be doing right now, probably sleeping like everyone else, Harry thought sarcastically. He remembered how innocent and sweet Draco looked when he was asleep. Eye's closed, his hair ruffled a little and his mouth quivering a little, he remembered his strong arms holding Harry to his bare chest. How beautiful his heart sounded, the sound that lulled him to sleep. Harry tried to push those thoughts out of his mind and focus on something else. He didn't want to let Draco go, this was proving to hard for him to cope. What if they did tell people they loved each other? Ron would go nuts, Ron hated Malfoy more than anyone, he couldn't even look at him without snarling. After calling Hermione a mudblood, Ron despised Malfoy more than ever. Harry knew he was generally sorry for that incident, he didn't know any better, besides all of them were only twelve at the time. Draco had grown up with that sort of drivel, now he was older he knew better than that. He knew Hermione was a good person, she was the smartest witch in the year, he knew she wasn't a mudblood, and just because he was 'pureblood' that didn't make a slight bit of difference to how powerful and good a wizard was. Harry knew Draco wanted to apologize, but he didn't have good speaking skills, but he was good with words on parchment, might have seemed like the cowards way out but it would be an apology all the same. Harry was now focused on the big game, maybe Draco was aloud to play now, Harry hoped he was, maybe all he needed was a sexy comment from the blonde as he whizzed past on his broom.
Draco POV
Draco hated being up early, it always made the day seem longer. He was looking forward to the Quidditch match between Slytherin and Gryffindor, he was so glad McGongagall had given him permission to play again, he was eager to get back on his broom, he reckoned he still had a good chance of winning, but he didn't really want to win, he couldn't win against the boy he loved and bask in the glory. Plus it wouldn't be good to have an after party and Weasley propose when they'd lost. The mood would be gone, to get the right atmosphere, Gryffindor had to win. He was excited for the after party that night, maybe he would be able to steal a few minutes with Potter, he was missing him so much it hurt. He decided he would at least try and speak to him, even if that meant Potter ignoring him.
Harry POV
"Right, were gonna go out there and win this, we have to go out there and show those Slytherins we mean buisness" instructed Harry, as they made their way out of the changing rooms. He was racked with nerves, as with every Quidditch game. Ron looked a nervous reck, almost like he was back doing trials again. Harry knew Ron was a good beater. "look I know were all nervous, but when we get out there our competitive side will come out and our nerves will disappear I promise, We can beat Slytherin any day of the week" smiled Harry and all the team smiled with him. Harry bit back a sigh and walked out onto the pitch. "Ladies and Gentleman here we are, this is the match you've all been waiting for, Slytherin vs Gryffindor!" shouted Lee Jordan, who was sitting next to Professor McGongall. Harry smiled, it was almost like the first Quidditch match all over again. "For the Gryffindor team we have, Harry Potter as seeker and captain, Ronald Weasley (this earned a cheering scream from Hermione) as keeper, Katie Bell, Dean Thomas and Cormac McLaggen as chasers and finally Ginny Weasley and Seamus Finnegan as beaters" announced Lee, watching the Gryffindor audience cheer loudly. "For the Slytherin team we have Marcus Flint as captain and beater alongside Pansy Parkinson, as chasers we have Blaise Zabini, Theodore Nott and Millicent Bullstrode, as keeper Vincent Crabbe and finally the seeker is Draco Malfoy" shouted Lee, watching the Slytherin audience cheer. Both teams flew into the air and took their positions. Harry noticed Draco winking at him and Harry smiled back. Draco looked so majestic and beautiful in his Qudditch robes and even more handsome on his broom. Harry had to force himself not to fall off the broom as he began to stare at Draco. The Quaffle was released and the game began. Harry watched as very quickly the Quaffle was passed to Blaise Zabini but Ron stopped a point from being scored by kicking the Quaffle towards Katie Bell. Katie threw the Quaffle to Dean but as Dean tried to score Crabbe caught the Quaffle before it went through the hoops and passed it to Millicent. While this was going on Harry caught a glimpse of the Snitch flying passed, he quickly chased after it and was almost at arms length. He saw Draco quickly fly in front of the snitch and Harry pulled a face. "Go on Harry, take it, for Granger and Weasley's sake" smiled Draco and kissed Harry on the cheek as he went passed. "love you baby" he said quietly as he flew passed, pretending to look for the snitch. Harry quickly snatched the snitch and watched as the Gryffindor team smile at him. "Harry Potter has caught the snitch, the game is over, Gryffindor wins!" shouted Lee and the Gryffindor team cheered, Harry heard Hermione scream "you did it Ron!" and smiled as Ron flew down to kiss her. Both teams were hugging each other to make sure there were no hard feelings. Draco flew to Harry and wrapped his arms around him. "I love you" whispered Harry as they parted, "I love you too" smiled Draco and flew down to the ground.
After the match, the party was in full swing. Music was playing fairly loud and firewhisky was going down nicely. Harry noticed Draco chatting to Pansy, smiling. He was wearing a blue cotton shirt with two buttons undone at the top and his sleeves pulled up, skinny denim jeans that hugged his arse perfectly and smart black shoes. Harry couldn't tear his eyes away until he saw a very agitated looking Ron. "Harry I don't think I can do this" stuttered Ron, looking as if he was going to cry, his hands fumbling the velvet box in his pocket. "Ron, think of how many galleons you've paid for that ring, think of how Hermione makes you feel, I promise you can do this" comforted Harry. Ron smiled at him and Harry cleared his throat. "ladies and gentleman, my friend has something to announce, if you would all like to sit down either in chairs or on the floor" shouted Harry, Draco smiled at Harry and Ron, Ron smiled back and Harry breathed a sigh of relief. "um yeah" mumbled Ron as he made his way to the middle of the room. "Well, Its been a rocky few years at Hogwarts, loosing my brother and everything. But there's been someone special with me every step of they way, a girl who I originally thought was snobby and was way out of my leauge, but deep down I knew she was the one. Hermione, I never thought I would feel this way about another person, after all we've been through, I'm proud to be called your boyfriend and proud to say I love you" stated Ron, walking up to Hermione, who was in tears with a huge grin on her face. Ron took hold of Hermione's hand and began to talk "Hermione, your beautiful, smart, kind, warm, loving, gentle, basically the girl of my dreams". As Ron bent down on one knee, the room errupted in gasps, awwes, and even a few squeals. Hermione slammed her hand over her mouth and began to sob. "Hermione, will you do me the absolute honour of marrying me and being my wife?" asked Ron as he pulled out the box and smiled at Hermione. Hermione giggled and sobbed at the same time and nodded her head. Ron took the ring out of the box and slipped it on her finger. Hermione threw her arms around Rons neck and everyone clapped and cheered for the happy couple. Draco smiled at Harry and Harry smiled back.
