Disclaimer: You know the drill by now.... Own nothing!
It's late, I know, but I'm in the middle of my exams, so I haven't been able to write anything.
Thanks for all the reviews! Makes me all giddy whenever I read my mail :3
Okay, on with the story!
The other boy smiled weakly, before sitting down in one of the armchairs. Draco followed his example and sat down in the armchair facing the one that Blaise was currently sitting in.
"So, I got a letter from your father where he wrote that you wished to speak with me." Blaise said, a nervous look on his face.
Draco nodded. "I think it's time I stop being such a coward. I've been ignoring you for quiet some time now, even without replying to what you told me that time."
Blaise's face turned slightly pink, but other than that, he didn't show any reaction to what Draco said.
"So, what I wanted to talk to you about is" Draco said and sent Blaise a sharp look. "Do you really like me? More than the feelings for a friend?"
Now it was Blaise's turn to sigh. He gave Draco a smile before walking over to him and placed his hand on the other boy's cheek.
"I meant it, Draco. Do you really think that I'm incapable of knowing my own feelings?" Draco blushed and averted his eyes from the Italian boy's steady gaze, making Blaise chuckle.
"Anyway, I owe you an answer!" Draco said, seemingly returning to his usual aristocratic self.
"I apologize for being an ass to you, Blaise. We've been friends for so long, I should've known better than to ignore and run away from you like I did. It was rude and you didn't deserve it." he said sternly. It was true, he was ashamed of himself for acting the way he had. But he had been confused and hadn't known what to do after the sudden confession.
"I accept you apology, Draco. I understand that my words may have shocked you, but I really needed to tell you! It was pulling me apart not being able to tell you!" Blaise said, and Draco could see the sincerity in the other boy's eyes.
"I understand. I must admit I was shocked, but after gotten time to think about, I realized that I didn't really dislike it." the Malfoy heir said, a slight pink tinting his cheeks.
Blaise looked up, a hopeful look in his eyes. "Does that mean you'll accept going out with me, Draco?" he asked cautiously, unsure whether the other boy was ready for it.
Draco thought about it, then nodded. "I suppose it couldn't do any harm. I talked with my father about it, and it was his idea to talk with you. I guess I should talk with him more often" he laughed and Blaise smiled, before suddenly remembering something.
"Draco, when I arrived, Harry Potter was in the room, I heard that the Dark Lord gave him to your family, but I'd thought he'd be a slave or servant. He looked like he was a part of the family." The blond nodded, and debated whether he should tell the other or not, but then decided that Blaise would learn the truth sooner or later anyway.
"My father and Harry are in a relationship. It turned out they both had feelings for each other, so you're pretty right when you say that he's part of the family."
Blaise didn't look too surprised, just thought about it for a while before smiling. "It's nice for him, I guess, having someone to love in his life."
Draco smiled back, and mentally kicked himself for having ignored his friend, and now boyfriend, for so long. It was nice to hear his laugh again, Draco realized.
"So, what do we now? Want to go play some quidditch?" Blaise asked, and Draco found himself agreeing at once.
Two hours later, the two boys sat leaning against the tree that Draco had been leaning against just hours before. Both were tired and sleepy from all the flying.
They didn't talk, just sat there in a comfortable silence. Draco leaned towards Blaise so that his head was lying on the other boy's shoulder and closed his eyes.
Blaise gave him a surprised look, before smiling softly and kissing the top of the blonds head, before he too closed his eyes. Before they knew it, they fell asleep.
When Draco opened his eyes, he noticed that he had gone from resting on Blaise's shoulder, to having his head in the Italian boy's lap. He blushed violently, and sat up, checking if the other boy was awake, which he wasn't, which Draco appreciated, since it would be a little embarrassing to explain to Blaise why his head was lying in his lap.
After stretching a little, Draco rose from his position, and poked Blaise in the shoulder to wake him up.
The blue-eyed boy grumbled, and shot Draco a dissatisfied glare.
"You could've woken me up in a more romantic way, you know. Poking is so not cute" he pouted, making Draco laugh.
"Here" he said and offered Blaise his hand. Blaise took it and Draco pulled him up. "I promise to wake you in a more romantic way next time, but I think you should tell your mother where you are, I'm sure she's worried about you." Blaise looked like he wanted to argue, but Draco sent him a stern glare that made him shut up.
"Okay, but I'll see you later then?" Draco nodded, before kissing him on the nose and giving him a playful smirk. Blaise sighed, but gave Draco a smile.
After he had followed his new boyfriend up to the manor to see him off, Draco made his way to the library, since he guessed Harry would be there. The dark-haired boy had been spending a lot of time there as of late, since Lucius didn't want him to go to Hogwarts, and he had told Draco he wanted to learn more.
Draco couldn't really understand how anyone would want to waste their free-time on studying when they really didn't have to, but he guessed Harry had his reasons.
When he arrived, he saw, as he had predicted, Harry sitting in one of the armchairs, reading a book. He didn't seem overly interested though, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress some yawns.
"Working hard, Harry?" Draco asked in a teasing voice, that made Harry jump and look up sharply.
"Draco! You could've at least told me you were there, rather than try to scary the shit out of me!" Harry said grumpily. Draco just laughed.
"I just decided to pass by and thank you for supporting me about Blaise." Draco said, suddenly a bit more serious.
"Oh? Did it go well?" Harry asked, welcoming a chance to stop reading the rather boring book he was currently trying to learn.
The younger Malfoy smiled, before walking over to the chair next to Harry's.
"I guess it did. I explained why I had been ignoring him, and then I apologized." Harry frowned, not really appreciating that Draco wasn't telling him everything.
"And so? What happened?" he asked eagerly. Draco's smile widened.
"I agreed to date him, so I guess we're boyfriends now." he answered, making Harry grin widely.
"Good for you, Draco! Then maybe you'll finally be able to start go on dates and stuff, rather than stay here and interrupt Lucius and me." Draco groaned and scowled at Harry. "I did so not need that information!"
Harry just pretended to look innocent. "What information? I just said you were interrupting me and your father, I didn't say anything about what exactly it was you were interrupting!" This just made Draco groan even more and he covered his ears with his hands.
Harry laughed. "That's just so childish, Draco!"
Draco just snorted and refused to look at the dark-haired teen in front of him. Harry let out an amused chuckle, before rising. "I guess I should be heading over to the dining room. Wanna join me?"
After some serious consideration, Draco accepted, and the two teenagers made their way to the dining room, bickering about whatever came to mind.
When they arrived, Lucius who was already sitting at the table, raised an eyebrow at their fighting.
"You certainly seem to be in a good mood." he said and kissed Harry when the boy walked over to him.
"Potter is just being annoying" Draco said, but Lucius could see that he really was having fun fighting with his ex-enemy.
"Oh really... Then what did you do to annoy my son, Harry?" he asked and Harry hurried to put on an innocent look.
"I didn't do anything! It's him that's being the annoying one!" Lucius sighed, and started to cut the meat on the plate in front of him, an obvious sign that they should stop fighting and start eating.
The dinner went on without much problems, just disturbed when Draco decided to throw a pea on Harry and Harry throwing one right back at him. Lucius had to stop the food-fight before it went too far.
"Honestly, it seems like I've gotten myself into quiet the trouble." the older Malfoy said and sent Harry a glance. Harry just laughed.
"As you know, old habits die hard!" the teen said and Lucius couldn't help but smile a little at his cheerfulness.
"So, did something happen between Draco and young Mr. Zabini? My son seems happier now than he's been for a couple of weeks."
Harry nodded. "Something did happen, but you'll have to ask Draco about it himself, since I think it's something he should tell you himself, and not something I should tell you for him." Harry said and added "After all, you're his father, not mine."
"And thank Merlin for that" Lucius said, making Harry laugh.
"I'll have to agree with you there, if you were my father, then this relationship would be a little weird, don't you think?" Lucius smiled and kissed the younger on the nose. "Yes, you're quiet right!"
"Would you two please stop talking like I'm not here?!" Draco nearly shouted, obviously a little sick from seeing his father flirting so openly with Harry.
"Oh, sorry Draco! I nearly forgot you were here." Harry said apologetically and scratched the back of his head.
Draco just sighed, before turning to his father again. "Blaise and I are now in a relationship, I hope you don't have anything against it, Father." he said trying to look calm, but Harry could see that his hand was shut tightly.
Lucius smiled "Of course I don't have anything against it, Draco. You need to stop worrying so much!"
The younger Malfoy looked relieved, before rising from the table.
"I'll leave you two to yourselves now. I need to do the last bit of my homework for the holiday." Lucius nodded. "Yes, that's a good idea. How long is it until school starts?"
"About a week, I guess." Draco answered, and left.
Lucius turned to Harry with a small smirk. "You know, with Dumbledore gone, guess who's going to be headmaster now."
"I don't know. McGonagall?" Harry said, honestly having no idea, but the head mistress of Gryffindor seemed like a natural candidate for the job.
But Lucius shook his head. "No, though she would seem a likely candidate, I don't think she wants the job anymore, after all, the school is filled with Death eater kids!" he said and Harry lifted an eyebrow.
"Then who is it? Are you going to tell me, or do I have to sit here and listen to how great Death Eaters and Voldemort is all day?" he said somewhat impatiently.
"I'll tell you, no that I think you couldn't need a couple of hours with the greatness of the Dark Lord." he smiled and Harry couldn't help but laugh.
"The new headmaster of Hogwarts is actually Severus." Lucius said after they both stopped laughing.
"Snape?!" Harry said incredulously. "Are you serious?!"
"Of course I am! I'm always serious!" Lucius huffed. "It seems like your friends Ronald will be able to stay at the school for a couple more years" he smiled.
Harry grinned when he thought about Ron's reaction to spend many years in the school. "I guess he won't be too happy about it, he hates school" Harry laughed.
"Well, too bad for him then." the silver-haired man grinned.
After talking a little more about who was going to be teaching what subject, Harry was happy to hear that Hagrid could continue teaching Care of Magical Creatures, they took off, heading to the bedroom. They could need some rest, Lucius reasoned.
There you have it, folks! Tell me what you think! Reviews are very nice, you know? (hint, hint!)
I think there won't be too many more chapters, maybe one or two... But if you have an opinion about what should happen, like a situation or anything you want to have in it, then tell me and I'll see what I can do, 'kay?
