When Harry entered the Room of Requirement and saw Draco sitting on the large couch, he felt his heart swell. Draco had his work spread out on the table in front of him. His brow was furrowed in concentration while he read an enormous book of magical fungi. They were meeting Ron and Hermione there to work on a potions essay. It had gotten difficult to sneak Draco into the Gryffindor common room all the time and there was much less distraction the Room of Requirement.

Biting on his pencil and skimming through pages of information on fungi, Harry thought had Draco had never looked more perfect. He felt so lucky to have someone like Draco. The past few months had not been easy on either of them. Once the press had gotten wind of their relationship, it had been in every issue of 'the Daily Prophet' for weeks. They seemed to think that perhaps it was a stunt, that Harry really like being talked about and was dating a guy just for a reaction. Once they came to the realization that it wasn't a publicity stunt and that Harry really did fancy guys, they started criticizing his choice of partner. Draco was the son of a death eater, but as though that wasn't enough, they began to make up character flaws to make it appear that he wasn't good enough for their beloved savior. Now the press had died down, people had grown bored of his love life and he was free too enjoy his relationship with Draco in peace.

He sat down next to Draco on the couch and began to plant butterfly kisses on his cheek.

"Hello to you too" Draco said, laughing. He put the book down on the couch beside him. Harry used this opportunity to lift his other leg over Draco so that he was straddling him, sitting on his lap. He continued to place soft kisses all over his face.

"What's gotten into you?" Draco asked, though he was not complaining, "Ron and Hermione will be here any minute."

"I know" Harry replied between kisses. "I just can't help myself around you. You're perfect." He kissed the tip of Draco's nose and then he kissed him on the lips, more deeply than all the other kisses. Draco responded enthusiastically, opening his mouth to allow Harry's tongue to slip in and caress his own. Harry wrapped his arms around Draco's neck. Draco's hands stroked Harry's hips and began to move north, under Harry's shirt. Their tongues continued to battle it out as they kissed each other passionately.

Just as they could feel themselves becoming aroused, Hermione and Ron arrived, their conversation stopped as they stood in the doorway surprised.

"Aurgh! God, you two, get a room!" Ron complained loudly. Harry clambered off Draco. Both boys' faces were now a bright shade of red.

"Um…Sorry guys" Harry said with a big grin that clearly said he didn't regret it in the least.

"Sometimes I think you two wait until you know we're coming." Hermione said shaking her head.

They didn't finish their essays until much later that night. Yawning, they went to leave the room and go back to their dormitories and sleep.

"Uh Harry, can I talk to you for a minute?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, uh, sure." Harry replied, "Ron, I'll see you back at the tower. 'Night Draco" He gave Draco a quick kiss before retreating back into the Room of Requirement with Hermione, who had already said good night to Ron.

"So…I'm not in trouble am I?" He joked, a little apprehensive.

"No, no, don't be silly" she reassured him, "I was just curious…..how far have you gone with Draco?"

"Wow, umm, that was a little unexpected." Harry admitted, "Not all the way yet. We have done stuff though, but you could probably guess that from what you walked in on."

"When you say stuff, you mean…" Hermione pressed.

"I dunno, hand jobs mostly. Blowjobs too. We're taking it kind of slow though, because of our romantic history, plus we don't exactly get a lot of chances to be alone." Harry explained. This was possibly one of the weirdest conversations of his life.

"Oh god, if that's taking it slow, we're moving at a snail's pace!" Hermione said, distraught, "I mean, we've done all that by now too of course but we still haven't had sex."

"Really?" Harry asked, a little surprised. They had been dating far longer than he and Draco.

"I just wasn't ready, you know?" Hermione explained. "I was fine with all the other stuff, but when I thought about going any further I started to freak out. I'm so analytical about everything, I can't help it!"

"Hermione, it's alright, everyone goes at a different pace." Harry reassured her, "I'm still a virgin too. Ginny and I never did anything and we had a fair amount of time. Draco and I started doing stuff a couple weeks after we started going out and that was with some serious restraint." He smiled as he thought of the first time Draco had gone down on him. Even though Draco had been inexperienced, it had been the most wonderful experience of his life. Having Draco's mouth cover him had sent chills through his body.

"I know, and I love Ron, I'm really happy with him." She said, "He hasn't ….I don't know…complained to you about it, has he?"

"Hermione are you kidding?" Harry asked, as he moved to sit beside her on the couch and put his arm around her comfortingly, "He's happy to be with you. If all he wanted was lots of action he would have stayed with Lavender Brown."

"You're right." Hermione replied, "To tell you the truth, I think I'm ready now, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing it for the wrong reasons."

"Yeah it makes sense." Harry replied. Hermione rested her head against his shoulder and yawned.

"I think it's time to go to bed." She said sleepily. They trudged back to the Gryffindor tower together while Harry wondered when he had become the expert on relationships.
