Thank You everyone for the reviews =). Sorry this took a few days, but I do hope it's worth it =). Enjoy! Now this chapter has slightly sexual stuff in it. So if you don't like, then just skip past it. Although if you don't like it....what are you doing reading slash? Hahahah.

Disclaimer: see chapter one.

......HD......HD = interval.

Here we go!:-

Walking side-by-side, Harry and Draco entered his mansion and after a small smile at each other, they headed to their respective suites to shower up before dinner.

Harry was really worn down. The warm water slowly undid the knots in his shoulders. Frowning at how strange his life had become he began to wash his hair; brushing his fingers back and forth.

He had yet to tell Draco he would be spending lunch tomorrow with Ron and Hermione. He decided that once he had discussed the issue about Ginny with Ron and Hermione he would recount it to Draco and see his opinion. He was the youngest Head Healer ever; he had to know something.

As he washed his body with a sponge he was plagued with thoughts of the kisses they had shared. His cock twitched.

He hesitated.

'Oh stuff it.' He thought as he reached down to alleviate the tension. At the first pull he groaned out loud. Stuffing his other hand in his mouth he began to jerk his dick like no tomorrow. His thoughts were filled with Draco...Draco's lips...Draco's naked chest. He was just about to sing hallelujah when...

"Harry?"

'Oh bollocks!!' Harry thought as he pulled his hand away quickly, groaning at the discomfort of being so close...yet so far.

"Uh yeah?" He replied, trying to clear his throat.

"Dinner's ready, just wanted to tell you; no rush." Draco voice said.

"Oh sure, be about in a sec." Harry replied, sighing in relief as he heard Draco step away from the door.

The mood was much too awkward for him to finish himself off so he simply washed as fast as possible before stepping back into the bedroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist.

Selecting the same black pants from work and pulling his own grey sweater from his suitcase he headed downstairs to the dining room.

Dinner was a calming and comfortable affair. Sitting next to each other, they slowly devoured their respective medium rare pepper steaks. Occasionally Harry would steal glances at Draco. He was staring at his flawless face when Draco spoke.

"Do you always stare at people who eat with you?"

"Oh! What? No! No...I wasn't staring." Harry said quickly, reaching up to rub the back of his neck.

"Really? Because I swear half the time you kept glancing at me." Draco replied, a small smirk in the corner of his mouth forming.

"Of course I wasn't, I was eating this steak; this steak is really good, real juicy. I should thank Diddy." Harry said completely ranting.

"Um anyway, tomorrow I'm going to lunch with Hermione and Ron." Harry continued.

"Sure, I've got paperwork to finish and I need to head to Knockturn Alley to get ingredients. That place is nasty. You'd think after the war they'd clean it up a bit." Draco said with a grimace.

"Yeah I don't go there often." Harry said, nodding in agreement.

"I know you don't really want to hear this, but I think you're right about Ginerva." Draco said, silently berating himself for his pathetic attempt to do an ice-breaker.

Harry looked a little surprised at the randomness.

"Oh. Yeah to be honest that's one of the reasons I'm heading over to Hermione and Ron's for lunch. I think they're a little sceptical over it, but they're willing to discuss it since apparently I'm worrying too much over it." Harry replied pleased that he could talk to Draco about it.

"You got some true friends." Draco replied.

"Yeah they're great." Harry said with an off-distance smile. "I'll tell you what conclusion we come to after I come back ok?

"Sure." Draco said. "I'm heading off to bed early because I want to get the paperwork done as fast as possible tomorrow." He continued standing up, flicking his wand so that the dishes disappeared; most likely back to the kitchens.

"Alright, well thanks for the dinner...again. Good night." Harry said with a smile, standing up as well.

As they were about to separate at the top of the stairs Draco spoke.

"What? No good night kiss?"

Harry spun around to find an amused smile on Draco's face.

"Oh uh...um." He mumbled. He was sure his face was as red as a tomato.

He looked up to tell Draco maybe that wasn't such a good idea and nearly fell back when he realized he was standing right in front him.

Draco's arm swung out and wrapped around his waist to steady him.

"You're very clumsy for an Auror in training who's meant to be the best." Draco said, learning forward.

Harry sputtered; face bright red as he tried to say something; and evidently failing. After a few moments of standing so close to each other, he finally took a breath and opened his mouth to say something.

Draco took this to his advantage and softly planted his mouth on his.

Harry instantly melted.

Draco moved his hands up to his shoulders as Harry was almost a head taller.

Harry's hands wandered down to his hips. Draco's lips were soft, sweet yet firm; nothing like Ginny's. He ran his tongue softly along Draco's bottom lip, prompting a gasp.

Taking advantage, he pushed his tongue through. Draco's breath sped up as he thread his fingers through Harry's dark locks; softly pulling at them.

They're tongues were locked in a battle for dominance; Harry gripped his waist tighter and pulled them closer. They gasped in unison as their groins met.

Draco wrenched his mouth from Harry's and began trailing kisses to his neck. He nibbled, sucked, licked and ravished the soft flesh.

Harry thought he might pass out as Draco began doing amazing things to his neck. Being bold he slowly moved his hand from Draco's hip and brushed softly over his clothed cock.

He smiled when he felt Draco's lips still.

Taking the lead, he grabbed his cock and placed a small amount of pressure. Draco groaned at the contact and he pushed his lips back on Harry's; fiercely kissing.

Things began to get a lot more passionate now with Draco's hand on his crotch. It was only when he felt his pants being slowly undone did he slowly pull away panting.

He stared at Draco's face. It was stunning. His grey-silver eyes seemed to be sparkling, his lips red and puffy from the make-out session and his mouth slightly open from the soft panting.

"Was that adequate for a good-night kiss?" He said.

"Yeah...it was ok." Draco said with a huge smile that clearly contradicted what he'd just said.

Harry laughed. "Just ok?"

"Well I'm sure you'd be more than ok if you got more practice." Draco replied with a knowing smile.

It was then that Harry noticed his hands were still at his waist and Draco's arms were entwined around his neck. He slowly pulled away but kept close enough to be in reaching distance.

"I still don't know if I can do this but...you know I'm not a wandering bloke. I'll still be here and I like what we're doing." He said awkwardly gesturing towards himself and Draco. "But I need some time to figure out if I'm really up to this; my heads a bit everywhere." He finished slowly.

Draco's face was impassive when he spoke.

"I'm glad you're considering; it's all I ask."

"I am I promise." Harry said quickly, trying to reassure him.

"And of course I know you're not a wandering bloke. You're a stupid noble Gryffindor." Draco said with a smile easing the tension.

Harry sighed with relief and happiness.

"And proud of it." Harry said, smiling broadly.

They stood there in a comfortable silence for a few seconds before Draco leant forward and brushed a soft kiss over Harry's lips and turned away to make his way back to his Grande suite.

Harry was left with a soft interested smile...and a hard cock.

'Damn it!'

......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......

"BLOODY HELL!"

Draco eyes snapped open.

Swinging his legs off the bed, he grabbed and quickly slipped on his silk emerald robe and power-walked to the door.

He swung it open only to come face to face with Harry lying flat on his back in front of his door.

"Harry?...what are you doing?" Draco said, bending down to see if he was ok.

"I just wanted to come over and ask if I could have breakfast earlier but I think I walked too fast and slid on the ground with my socks and fell." Harry said, still lying flat on his back.

"Best Auror in training indeed." Draco mumbled with a smirk on his face as he helped Harry up.

"Sorry about that." Harry said oblivious to what Draco said.

"That's alright. Well, I'm up anyway; let's get breakfast then shall we?" He said.

Harry nodded with a smile and followed Draco down to the dining room.

Breakfast was a quiet and comfortable affair. They made small talk; ate copious amounts of eggs and bacon and Harry couldn't keep his eyes off Draco's face.

After breakfast and a short; yet heated kiss between the two, Draco headed off to his study with an adjoining potions lab to finish his paperwork and Harry left to Diagon Alley to shop for some new robes before heading over to Ron's.

Harry's entire trip at Diagon Alley was fruitless...pointless. He didn't end up shopping for new robes; instead he spent it sitting at the Fortescue's ice-cream parlour eating a double jumbo choc chip ice-cream cone whilst his mind was plagued with thoughts of Draco.

After spending an hour stuffing his face with chocolat-y goodness he decided it was probably time to head over to Ron's.

Ron and Hermione lived in a large, refurbished cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon. Hermione insisted they purchase the small muggle cottage due to her childhood fascination with Shakespeare. The town was predominantly filled with muggles, so they enchanted the inside to be large and comfortable enough for the both of them.

Harry had guessed Ron would feel a little strange living in a muggle town, but for Hermione; it seemed he would do anything. Of course apparating from their cottage had to take some concentration since its distance from central London; so they really preferred floo.

Harry walked to an empty alleyway next to Fortescue's before closing his eyes and concentrating on his destination; and in seconds there was a pop, a puff of smoke and nothing else.

......HD......HD......HD.......HD......HD.......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......HD......

'ugghhh.' Harry thought as he ungracefully landed with a small thump outside Ron and Hermione's cottage. Straightening his shirt he opened the small gate and made his way through the front yard and to the front door. He felt a small tingle as he walked past the warning wards.

He smiled to himself as he pressed the door bell. The actual doorbell was the bellybutton of a white snowy owl that sat to the right of the front door. Hermione and Ron had dedicated the doorbell to his late pet, Hedwig.

The door swung open to reveal a smiling Ron.

"Mate!" He greeted, patting Harry on the shoulder as he stepped in.

"I never tire of your house; it's so homely." Harry said with a broad smile.

"Well we're happy to have you here again." Hermione said, her head poking out of the living room.

"Herm!" Harry said brightly, making his way into the living room where he noticed Hermione had already laid out lunch.

They hugged for a second before Ron insisted they sit and eat before the food got cold; Hermione rolled her eyes at this.

Hermione had made chicken burgers with a side of salad and an extra chicken pot pie for each of them at Ron's insistence. Harry conjured up pumpkin juice and in a few minutes the only noise was the sound of chomping and munching.

"Mmmm. Oh Herm, this is SRO GROOD!" Ron mumbled with chicken bits flying out of his mouth.

"Ron! Surely Molly taught you not to talk with your mouth full!" Hermione said, frowning at him; but she had a slight smile from the compliment.

Ron had the decency to blush for a few seconds, before shrugging and going back to eating.

When they had all finished and Ron got them all Butterbeer's, Hermione's expression turned serious.

"Ok so what are you going to do about Ginny? Have you seen her since that last time at work?"

"I don't know...but I KNOW there's something wrong; I just know. And no, I haven't seen her since that last time." Harry said with conviction.

"Maybe you could talk to her?" Ron said, gulping down his butterbeer.

"Ok...but talk about what? We've talked about possibly everything and anything the last few times. The last time I talked to her I stressed that we needed time apart." Harry said with a frown.

"How about just going to see her?...or something." Ron finished lamely.

"She's living with Dean right now...WITH Maria...near the Dursleys." Harry said slowly.

"Yes...that would be quite awkward. And I don't think seeing her right now is a good idea. Besides Ron, Harry did stress he didn't to see her for a while." Hermione said with a thoughtful look.

Harry nodded in agreement.

"Fair enough, but we need to work out what you're going to with that feeling you have about Ginny right now. Because honestly mate, I just think she's being indecisive." Ron said.

"Trust me guys, I know something's wrong. Can't we just...look up some books or something! Hermione, you're the Deputy Headmistress at Hogwarts, surely you can find something in the restricted section right?" Harry said, now looking slightly desperate.

"But search for what Harry? All we know is that Ginny looked confused and was having trouble dealing with emotion. This technically is normal for someone who's indecisive." Hermione said

"Anything! Just anything. Maybe look for spells that can cause confusion or...maybe a spell that sort of works like Imperio." Harry replied; the plea evident in his voice.

"Ok ok Harry, I'll do it. But just calm down, it might not be anything. I should have found something in a few days." Hermione said with a small reassuring smile.

Harry sighed in relief. "Thanx Herm, I know it seems like I'm going crazy. But every time I have a feeling like this it just never turns out well."

Ron and Hermione's expressions turned to understanding. Harry's school life hadn't exactly been quiet.

"Maybe I could even find something in Grimmauld Place." Harry suggested.

"Take it easy mate. If Hermione doesn't find anything in Hogwarts then we can move to Number 12. I don't think we should go into crazy research mode until we know it's something serious." Ron said stepping in.

Hermione nodded. "Ron's right, just take it a step by a step Harry." She looked over at Ron with a smile that said she was really pleased by what Ron had just said.

Harry smiled. Draco was right; he truly had great friends.

At the thought of Draco, a flush immediately appeared on his face.

"You alright mate? You went all red all of a sudden." Ron said peering forward.

"Oh oh I'm fine...I'm just a little hot that's all." Harry mumbled shuffling about a bit in attempt to distract.

In his peripheral vision he noticed Hermione gazing at him curiously. It was then he remembered Herm had whispered to him that she wanted to talk about Draco previously.

'Shite!' he thought.

"Hey guys I'm gonna head off now!" Harry said quickly standing up.

"Mate, mum's having dinner next Saturday and she wants us all to come." Ron said, indicating Harry's compulsory attendance.

"That sounds great, haven't been over to the Burrow in a while." Harry replied with a smile.

"All to come?" Hermione asked.

Harry realized she was asking for Ginny as well.

"Uh...Yeah, everyone." Ron finished awkwardly.

"Maybe you could bring someone Harry?" Hermione said with a slight raised eyebrow.

"Yeah mate! That would lessen the tension." Ron said enthusiastically.

"Ok, I'll being Draco." Harry blurted out.

The next few seconds were sort of humorous.

Ron who had been standing up somehow managed to trip over his feet and fall back down on the couch with a confused expression. Hermione's mouth turned upward into a smirk and her hands went to her hips.

"What? I know you and Malfoy are chummy, but...really?" Ron said getting on his feet again.

"Well we work together and we're still living with each other. It seems right." Harry replied, trying to be casual about the whole thing. "And it's not like there's any real hostility between us and him."

"Why ARE you still living with h-

"Ok I got to go now!" Harry interrupted Hermione, quickly stepping out into the hallway.

Fortunately Ron hadn't heard what Hermione had said, but was still standing there with a thoughtful expression.

"See you tomorrow Ron on a Sunday...at work!" Harry yelled with amusement as he somewhat power-walked to the front door. He heard Ron yelling him goodbye in the distance.

Hermione followed him to the front door.

"Where were we?...Oh Yeah. So why ARE you still living with Draco?" Hermione said as she stood in the way of Harry and the exit.

Harry was surprised to see Hermione use his first name; but he shook it off.

"We're just good friends." He replied, his tone getting slightly defensive.

"Right." She said shortly. "Ok enough of this. Spill it Harry. I know you're hiding something that's concerned with Draco." She said, standing straighter; but her eyes said she was concerned.

Harry knew he could never keep a secret this big from Herm. It just wasn't possible...mostly because he was a shite later.

"Ok. We're sort of...not together...but sort of, yes...like just being together...not officially though cos of the whole Ginny thing." Harry finished...and not making any sense.

Hermione managed to understand the gibberish though. Her eyes widened.

"Oh Harry." She said, her hand now covering her mouth slightly.

"I know. But please don't be mad. Ginny and I were broken up and I didn't even know what the feeling was until days later and even then I didn't really acknowledge it. And when Draco managed to finally draw it out he told me that he was patient and could wait until I was fully ready." Harry said quickly.

Hermione smiled. "Harry I'm not mad. But this is all just new. I mean, when did you even know you were bi?"

"Well that was one of the things I was struggling with. And I told Draco that it just sort of came out of nowhere. People aren't just straight one day and bi the next. And he said that I shouldn't see everything so structured and just to go with what I have." Harry replied, gripping his hair in slight frustration and nervousness.

"He said that?" she said, her expression curious.

"Yeah...why?" Harry replied.

"Well he's right. " Hermione said shortly. So shortly it surprised Harry.

"Wh-

"Listen Harry. Your life before defeating Voldemort was the definition of structured. He's right in the sense you should just go with whatever you have. I admit, it's a bit of a shock; but if you're enjoying it and you understand what the consequences of pursuing this might bring...then I'm happy for you." Hermione said, intently staring into his eyes.

Harry could say nothing. He simply leapt forward and embraced her in a tight hug.

"You're the best Herm."

He could feel her smiling against his cheek.

"You still are my best friend Harry. You can tell me anything." She said pulling back with a large smile.

"I know. And I'm so grateful." Harry replied.

"But don't forget you need to find a time to tell Ron." Hermione said getting serious.

"I know, I was think-

"Harry! You're still here! What are you two talking about? You better not be talking about me." Ron said, making his way down the hallway with an amused smile.

"Of course we were talking about you Ron." Harry replied, lightly punching Ron in the arm. But he quickly turned to Hermione and gave her a knowing expression; they would talk about how to break it to Ron later.

"Ron...are those candles down there?" Hermione said her eyes squinting.

Ron quickly grabbed Hermione and pulled her into a hug so she couldn't see his face. Ron mouthed to Harry. "I'm proposing."

Harry's eyes widened with excitement.

"Well I'll be off now. Have fun you two! I'll see you tomorrow Ron and I'll see you next weekend Herm." He said quickly giving Ron a thumbs up before leaving the house.

As Harry concentrated and Disapparated away he couldn't seem to wipe the smile of his face.

For once; ever since that night he caught Ginny and Dean, things seem to be calming down.

He appeared back in Belgravia, he swiftly entered the door. It was only evening so he expected Draco to still be finishing his paperwork.

Harry was about to head upstairs when a huge bang went off. He grabbed the railing of the stairs to steady himself. Harry looked up; the bang had come from Draco's study upstairs, where smoke was now billowing from.

His Auror skills snapping to attention he took the stairs two at a time and slowly approached the room.

"Draco? Are you alright?"

Harry stepped in and cast Lumos to see through the smoke. He was about to head over to the adjoining potions room when he almost stepped on something. It was squishy. Pointing his wand down, he gasped at what he saw.

Done! Oh my, finally! This took quite a while. And yes, that is a bit of a cliffy. But don't worry, what's going to happen is that dramatic. Well I hope you thoroughly enjoyed this chapter =). Because I had serious fun writing it!

Review Replies:-

J. Vengeance – haha well you deserved it! You made me smile so hard! I am SO pleased you think my story has a plot. I was beginning to get afraid that I was just blabbing and going nowhere. Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter just as much =D.

Six Foot Tall Giant – I'm glad! How do you like this chapter? =).

Airborn-Love- WOW! I have never gotten so many reviews at once. I love it! Thank you for every single one =). And about Ron, yes; it does annoy at me times to write Ron so nosy, but I figured it'd be best to be consistent with his character. I tried to make him a little more...adviceable? in this chapter. How do you like it? And you're right, there is something up with Ginny! *cheeky smile*. But I'll only release it a few chapters down, because right now the thing that's "up" with Ginny is the backbone of my whole story. Anywho, ENJOY! =D.

Please review =). I can only get better if I have some feedback!
