Don't Tell Me It Was All Pretend: Getting Drunk and Revelations
HARRYS POV
Draco walked to the other side of the boys dorm to a large black wooden cabinet. The handles were silver snakes, entwined around a gleaming emerald gem. Draco reached for the handle and pulled the two doors back, revealing rows and rows of bottles, some dusty, some half empty, some with their substances glowing inside. What was most spectacular was that the cabinent seemed to hold more drinks than it seemed physically possible from the outside.
"You drive me insane, you know that?" Draco raked a slender hand through his blond hair. "Yeah, your probably do. With all the crap you pull on me all the time." He started pulling out a few bottles and setting them next to Harry's feet.
"You do pull stuff on me too. And you wouldn't have it any other way, would you?" Harry pulled a blue bottle toward him, the contents of which were swirling around, making him dizzy.
"Be careful with that, it good stuff. It can make the most alcohol tolerant person drunk in 30 minutes with a single shot."
"Why are we drinking again?" He pulled a hourglass bottle to him and saw that it was good old firewhiskey. Not that I mind of course.
"Because you make my head hurt. I feel lightheaded and my stomach just doesn't sit right when I'm around you and I'm starting to think your a walking disease."
"It must be the pangs of love my dear. Or maybe heartburn."
"Why do you have to call me 'dear'? We're alone now, you can drop the act. Speaking of dropping, why did you have to land in front of me on you knees before? I understand that your small shriveled mind thinks that this is a game, but you just scare me sometimes." Draco closed the cabinet and sat in next to him, leaning back onto his bed. "You act serious sometimes when others are around, like we really are some love struck teenage boys." Draco turned to look at Harry, studying him. "I just can't believe that you agreed to do this. It is madness." Harry smiled at him and opened the blue swirling bottle and took three gulps.
"What are you doing?" yelled Draco, grabbing for the bottle. "I just said that's some powerful stuff." Draco bent his neck and took a few gulps himself. "You're going bloody to hog it all." he said sullenly.
"It is madness. But you know what?" said Harry waving his hands around in front of him, grabbing the bottle away from the blonde haired boy. "It's all to do with Ron and Hermione. I just wish that the two of them would just shout 'I love you' have a fantastic snog, maybe a shag afterwards and just stop arguing. Everyone in Gryffindor knows the two are denying their love, but if you try to tell them, they bite your head off." Hermione even turned Neville into a toad for asking if she had a freckle fetish, if what she really wanted, was to know if they were all over Ron's body.
"Lovely story, tell me another one."
"Shut up, I'm not done yet. They annoy me sometimes. Well, to be honest, all the time. Their arguing, even if they are my best friends." Harry finished the blue bottle, both feeling extremely drunk in such a short time and he grabbed a red bottle. "So when you asked me out-"
"I didn't ask you out you git, I 'made you an offer you couldn't refuse.'"
"Did you know you have an interrupting problem? I think you should go to the Constantly Interrupting People Anonymous. They can help you get sorted. Help you not-" Harry took a swig from the bottle and giggled, "interrupt so bloody much."
"Next thing I know you'll tell me I should use my intterupting mouth for more useful things." Harry crawled over to Draco's feet where more bottles where and sat down, looking into silver eyes in front of him.
"Oh, no, stop it, stop, STOP WIGGLING YOUR EYEBROWS AT ME IN A SUGGESTIVE MANNER POTTER!" Draco yelled, waving his hands in front of his face so he couldn't see the waving eyebrows.
Harry just laughed at him. "So, when you made me an offer, I was like "Why not?" Gives me something to do." It hasn't been bad either.
"But it's something with me. Something kind of intimate."
"What, do you want me to back out, want a new replacement boyfriend?" Draco shook his head, looking shocked at the idea. "Well good then, I thought that although your an insufferable git I'd keep you around 'cause you face looks funny, and," he added standing up wobbly, nearly tripping over his own feet and crashing into a very hard looking wall, "you have abso-bloody-lutely great drinks."
"Harry, I think your drunk. Actually I think I'm drunk. Harry, get your head out of that lamp, please. Grey is not your color, go for the green one over to your left." Harry stumbled around. "No, your other left."
"Oi, get over here Draco." Harry hit his wand a bit hard on a nightstand, but the spell worked fine, dance music filled the air and there was a soft click as the dorm room door locked itself. "Do you think your mates will mind not being able to come in?"
Draco grabbed a pink bottle off the floor and stood a bit unsteadily next to Harry. "No, since classes start tomorrow, they'll be spending the last free night partying in the dungeons. Kind of like what we're doing. But with more sex I think. What'd you want me here for?"
"I want to dance Malfoy, why do you think there's music on? Not exactly rocket science." Harry threw of his robe onto Draco's bed, and set a half empty bottle on the floor.
"This is music? No, I don't think so. Here we go." Draco wove his wand for a moment and some upbeat music, kind of punkish but with hip-hop thrown into, all together some great dancing music, that in a night club, would cause alot of rubbing up against another person. "Oh wait, I have to dance with you. I don't wanna." Draco said childishly. "I'd rather drink."
"Please? I'm feeling rather lonely." Harry swung his hips to the beat and was reminded of the time he played a beat for Draco during their detention together. Draco's eyes glazed over as he watched Harry, he passed a hand through this hair.
"Fine, I'll show you how to dance." Harry smiled. This was his first time being a bit drunk, and now he was going to dance with his sworn enemy. This year at Hogwarts was surely one he would remember for the rest of his life. Draco took of his robe and stood in black jeans with a deep gray t-shirt. He wore a necklace around his neck with the Malfoy crest on it. Harry, Draco saw, wore faded blue jeans and a rich green shirt. Draco placed a hand around Harry, resting on the small of his back. Harry shivered, enjoying the intimate contact, Draco's other hand on his shoulder. Harry moved closer and settled his hands on Draco's slender hips. Harry placed a leg between Dracos, pressing their bodies against each other, and had he been sober, he would have revolted at the idea, but then it seemed good, and he like the warmth Draco's body gave off, he could feel Draco's heartbeat against his chest and it made him feel safe. They started off slowly to the beat, then they moved faster, spinning across the room. Even being a bit tipsy, Draco was a wonderful dancer, Harry felt wonderfully content and rested his head on Draco's shoulder, unconsciously breathing in the scent of him.
"You know what Draco, I think I like you."
DRACO'S POV
Draco's feet stumbled at his partners comment, so he stopped dancing, but still held Harry close to him. He turned his head to look into brightly shinning green eyes. "What do you mean?" he asked warily.
"I mean, that I don't hate you." Draco sighed, so it wasn't what he thought it was. A declaration of love. But for a moment his heart had swelled at Harry's slurred words, but now it was just normal. Had I wanted him to say that he really liked me? As well, more than a friend? "I don't think I have really, to be honest. I only fought back with you during the years to keep up appearances I 'spose." Harry seemed to be having trouble standing, and leaned heavily onto Draco, one leg pressed between his, almost indecently, and both arms were wrapped around his neck, Harry's head on his shoulder, Draco could feel his breath on his neck. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry's waist to keep him steady.
"I don't think I ever hated you either. I always wanted to be your friend, but when you refused my hand before we were sorted, I decided that you were the enemy. No one has ever refused me." Draco's arms tightened their hold Harry in his momentary anger. "No one, until you. You changed everything then. I wanted to know why you did that for so long."
"Childish stupidity. I had heard bad rumors about you, I shouldn't have listened to them." Harry breathed deeply. "You're not how people describe. You different, your not that bad at all. I like spending time with you."
"You do?" Draco asked, shocked. No one has ever said that. Well, Slytherin's wouldn't. Damn Gryffindors have to be so sentimental all the time. It wasn't has though he hated that fact though.
"Yeah, your like my new best friend. I'm stuck with you all the time, I am, after all your boyfriend. Your much more interesting than Ron or Hermione. There's so much I don't know about you. I want to know. Its a funny feeling. I want to know what makes you happy. You look sad all the time. Well, maybe not sad, but I've never seen you smile. I wonder what it looks like."
"Oh." Was all he could manage. Draco's head was pounding, and Harry was getting any lighter, the longer he held him. Draco stopped the music and dragged the both of them to his bed and lied Harry gently upon it, watching as his messy black hair framed his face and hid his deep green eyes. Harry looked up at him, so innocently, the mouse in the serpents den. So trusting. Here he was, Slytherin territory, dead drunk, but with arms wide open on his enemies bed. Harry is in my bed. He found that he liked the idea, and wondered what it would be like waking up next to the Boy-Who-Lived. "Harry, move over."
"Mkay, but you have to lay next to me." The bed creaked as he shifted to one side
"Not as though there's anywhere else to go." Draco crawled in, finding that there wasn't much room on the bed, no matter which way he moved, somewhere they'd be touching. He desperately hoped that the other boys would sleep in the dungeons and not come up to the dorm before they left in the morning.
HARRY'S POV
Harry woke in the middle of the night to find his head throbbing, and although it was winter, he was pleasantly warm. He blinked a bit, his sight blurred without his glasses to find that he was laying on his back with a blonde blob on his shoulder. He breathed in deeply to find the scent of cherries and vanilla. "Draco..." he whispered. That's who was with him. Whose head was on his shoulder, whose arm was wrapped around his chest, whose legs his were tangled with. Draco, was the person who he had an arm around, whose golden hair brushed his cheek seductively. Draco, who he was sleeping with. He only sighed, content, not the least bit worried that his heart beat faster every time Draco's breath ghosted over his neck, that his pulse quickened every time his fingertips brushed unconsciously in circles on his stomach. Harry turned his head to lay before Draco's and slept. He slept what may have been the best night of sleep in a long time. He brought a hand to Draco's and entwined their fingers together, thinking how perfect the world would be if the night would never end.
A/N: Well, everyone should know by now that Harry really loves the way Draco smells, I don't know why, he just does. I absolutely loved the songs everyone sent me! I made sure to listen to everyone of them, and it was excellent how I never reached a dead end on what to write. I even started writing the climax chapter ahead of schedule, thanks! So send me the names of any songs you like, it really helps. As for a few questions some people had, Harry does have glasses. I don't know if when he kisses Draco, its uncomfortable with them, since I don't have glasses, but to me, Harry's not Harry without glasses. If you want, pretend he has contacts if it makes you feel better. Also, it doesn't take me long to write a chapter, maybe a few hours. It takes a few days for me to post because I have other things to do, and re-writing to do, and I just want to make it perfect.
