Chapter Twenty Five

Harry woke early and started getting ready to head into Hogsmeade with Ron and Hermione, every now and then he would get a twinge of pain, from yesterday's rough handling. Eating breakfast and enjoying his friends company, they were talking and joking on their way to the village.

Up ahead they saw Draco walking hand in hand with Astoria, Harry didn't feel jealous in fact he was happy that they had such a good cover. Astoria had helped him get into the common room and Draco trusted her, if Draco could then he can.

"I think it's funny that Malfoy cannot get a girlfriend his own age, no one our age wants him, he has to lower himself to a younger person, who is probably more gullible."

It was moments like this that Harry realised that Ron still had a lot of growing up to do.

"Her name is Astoria, Ron, it's not like they had a choice in the matter, and Draco told me that she was picked for him, it will eventually result in an arranged marriage."

Ron just shrugged, however Hermione looked worried. Ron didn't mean to insult Malfoy all the time, he was jealous that Harry was spending time with him and he was worried about losing his best friend, even though Malfoy was, well still Malfoy, he didn't actually hate him anymore, just disliked him, the smug git.

"I didn't know you and Malfoy were close enough to discuss such personal matters."

Glancing at Ron "I told you we are friends, I get on very well with him and I enjoy his company."

Ron decided to leave it, he didn't want to ruin the trip to Hogsmeade.

Draco was walking into the village with Astoria, he held her hand. It wasn't in a romantic way, he felt that Astoria was the little sister he never had, and he enjoyed her company and felt protective of her.

"Are you meeting Neville right away?"

She glanced up at him "Yes, but he wanted to speak with you too, will you talk to him?"

Draco nodded, he hadn't ever really spoken to Neville, everyone acted as if Draco wasn't on the wrong side of the war and ignored the 'elephant' in the room. He suddenly felt nervous, he wanted Neville to like him, if Neville was part of Astoria's life, then he was a part of his too.

They walked to the edge of the village, down an alleyway, lined with small and rarely visited shops. Draco dropped Astoria's hand, just as Neville came around the corner. Neville had lost weight and over the years he had grown into his features, the result was a tall, dark haired, handsome man. Astoria stepped up to Neville and placed a soft, delicate kiss on his lips and then stepped back, took hold of his hand and turned to look at Draco.

Draco had a thousand things he wanted to say, but he couldn't, saying sorry was not enough, it was too little, too late. He just wanted Neville to know he is not the person he once thought he was, he had grown up and through awful circumstances was forced to realise he had been wrong all along. Neville was the first to break the silence.

"I wanted to say face to face, thank you." Draco's head shot up and he stared disbelievingly at Neville.

"You have helped Astoria and I, continue to keep our relationship a secret, knowing you are not a threat also helps." Draco smiled at that, he knew Neville was revering to his sexuality.

"You're welcome, she is also helping me by covering up the fact I'm gay."

It was Neville's turn to smile "I know, I almost stopped breathing when Astoria told me. When you finally come out, many girls will be devastated."

Laughing "Well, I'm sure they will survive." Draco liked how easy it was to talk to Neville. It felt like Neville wasn't ignoring the past between them, he was choosing to move on from it and be a better person. Holding grudges and living in the past only resulted in a person becoming lonely and bitter.

Astoria was proud of her boyfriend and her friend, they had shown that differences can be set aside, she hoped that they would become good friend in the future.

Feeling reckless she looked at Draco "Funny thing happened the other day, I received a note from a random stranger, asking for my help to get them into your room. Then the next day Blaise kept teasing me, asking me if I liked being a dominatrix and he asked if your wrists were better. Strange right?"

She was trying not to laugh by the end of this. Draco was gobsmacked and his mouth was hanging open slightly "Draco close your mouth, what would your father say."

She burst out laughing after she said that, knowing that she must have sounded like Mrs Malfoy. Draco snapped his mouth shut and mumbled "I wondered how he had gotten in my room, sneaky fucking Gryffindor, should have been in Slytherin."

Neville raised his eyebrows but chose not to comment on what Draco had said, Astoria just laughed harder. After a moment they said their goodbyes and Draco looked around the small shops that seemed neglected.

Harry had spent the morning with his friends, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Dean and Seamus but Neville was absent. They visited all the popular shops and ate lunch in the three broomsticks. At 12:45pm he said goodbye and headed over to the Weasleys' joke shop. Most of his friends were glad that Harry had left as they too wanted to break off into couples and spend the evening together.

Harry reached the shop slightly early, but was only waiting for a few minutes when Draco arrived.

"Hey…"

Smiling Harry replied "Hey you."

Both hesitated, they wanted to kiss to greet each other properly but knew they couldn't "Shall we head in?"

Harry indicated the shop door. "Sure, what do you want to look for in here, aren't you worried that people will see you with me?"

Harry briefly touched Draco's stomach, brushing his fingers over it and then quickly pulling away "No, I'm not worried, I'm your friend now and I don't care what people think. Oh and answering your first question, I am looking for a product we can use that will allow us to write secret messages to each other, so we can arrange our meetings."

They walked into the shop and started looking around, Harry was pleased to see it was Verity working today. Draco was looking at the girls section, he figured secret notes, and love letters etc. would be marketed towards the females. He was right, after a few moments he found 'Perfect Parchment' – Ideal for hidden messages and secret notes, Perfect Parchment will allow you to write a message and it will disappear and re-appear on the second piece of parchment, all messages on both pieces disappear after a short time period. Perfect! Draco picked up the item, walked over to the counter, paid and then found Harry.

He handed it over "Here, they had this, I think it would do the job for us, you carry one piece in your pocket and I will carry the other."

Leaving the shop and heading to the same secluded area that he and Astoria were in earlier "It's not great, as you may leave a message and I might not read it and it will disappear before I can read it, but if we agree to look at the parchment at a set time of the day, that will avoid missing any messages."

Harry opened the packet, took one sheet of parchment, folded it and placed it into his pocket and then handed Draco the other piece. "Let's check every morning before breakfast and every night before bed."

Draco nodded and kissed Harry on the side of his mouth, "Draco love, where are we?"

Stopping and turning "This is a secluded part of Hogsmeade, its mainly residential and not many students will wonder down here."

Harry noticed a small field, he went and sat on the grass, patting the ground for Draco to join him. Draco didn't join him, instead he was looking at the next field along, it was overgrown with grass, and it reached about chest height. Draco, helped Harry up, cast a spell that would flatten a small section in the grass and then weaved through the tall grass until he reached the flat part.

Harry followed him, he had to laugh, Draco was clever at finding out in the open but also private places for them. Harry transfigured his cloak into a blanket and once they were sat down, the tall grass surrounded them, obscuring them from view of any passers-by.

Harry kissed Draco, keeping his movements slow and loving, "What was that for?"

Harry reached out and squeezed Draco's top thigh "I just thought I'd kiss you to show you how proud I am, you are very clever, this is a perfect spot."

Harry noticed Draco smiling seductively, he then wiggled his eyebrows and said "Ever had outdoor sex in a field?"

Shaking his head, Draco always had sex on the brain "No I haven't, I'm up for it, but I'm not bottoming, I'm still sore from yesterday."

Draco laughed, kissed Harry, immediately slipping in his tongue and pushed him down onto the blanket. Draco was happy to just lay there, both exploring each other's bodies, kissing Harry with long slow and sensual kisses, brushing tongues against tongue, moving closer and closer as the kisses built into more, hands wondering and groping. They spent a long time kissing and touching, enjoy the company of the other.

They were currently led on their backs and Harry was telling Draco about the strange costumes muggles dressed up in to turn their partners on. "It's quite normal Draco, most of the costumes that are seen as sexy are standard uniforms, mainly from a profession, like a Doctor, a Policeman or Fireman."

Draco had never seen any muggle uniforms, he took Harry's word for it. "Draco love, tying you up was one of my fantasies, do you have any?"

Draco rolled onto his side, entwined his legs with Harry's, propped himself up on one elbow and looked down at Harry. "I don't really have any baby, but when you were wanking yourself the other day and I was watching, that really turned me on."

Harry rolled onto his side, scooted up to Draco and whispered the same thing Draco had whispered to him "I guess I am about to make your fantasy become true."

He rolled back onto his back, lifted his bum off the ground and removed the bottom half of his clothes, he bought his legs up, bent slightly at the knee and spread them wide so Draco had a perfect view of Harry's penis, balls and anus. He then ran his hand down his stomach, hovered over his genitals and then took his semi-erect penis into his hand, he gripped it in a lose fist and slowly started pumping it, up and down his shaft, pulling back the foreskin, using the other hand he began massaging his balls, his penis becoming harder as he done so.

He watched Draco the whole time he was doing this. Soon he increased the strokes and griped his penis tighter, he began to moan softly as the pleasure started to build. Draco was watching every movement Harry made, he was getting aroused as he saw Harry's cock harden and soon he heard Harry begin to moan, Draco became hard himself, just the sight of Harry, barriers down, pleasuring himself, Harry's thrust his hips up and moaned louder.

"Harry….you look so fucking sexy….I'm getting off just watching you."

Harry just smiled and continued to pump himself faster, he then moved his hand from his balls, licked a finger as he stared directly at Draco and then inserted the finger into his own entrance. He was stimulating his prostrate and wanking himself at the same time.

"Fucking hell Harry…." Draco undid his own trousers and began wanking at the sight of Harry wanking.

Soon Harry's legs shuddered and he felt his anus tighten around his finger as he climaxed, spraying come all over his stomach and chest. He looked over and saw Draco on his knees, sat back on his feet, trousers open and hand down the front of them and he too was wanking himself.

Harry knelt, walked on his knees over to Draco and began kissing him, it was a wet, fast kiss but this matched the speed of Draco's pumping. Soon Draco was exclaiming and moaning into Harry's mouth as he climaxed. They kissed again but a slower, tentative kiss, to show their love for each other.

Once they cleaned themselves up and trousers were done up, they led back down and Harry rested his head onto Draco's chest. They spent another hour or so talking, laughing and kissing, they both agreed that it was time to head back up to the castle and they walked back together. Draco realised he should have met Astoria and walked back with her, but he would apologise later.

Weeks and even months passed with Draco and Harry meeting in secret, stealing kisses, groping, frotting, dry humping in-between classes and then meeting in the Room of Requirement or other places to have sex. They also spent a lot of time talking and just being with each other.

The Christmas break was fast approaching and Harry was going to miss Draco, he was returning home. He said his father would be expecting him and that he had to attend the Malfoy Christmas Ball with Astoria. It was now the morning of the last day of term and Harry had Draco's Christmas present ready to give him tonight, one last night before he left in the morning. Pulling out the 'Perfect Parchment' he saw that Draco had left a message:

Harry baby,

Meet me after classes, we can eat dinner in the RoR and I was hoping we could spend all night there. I will leave the next day from there, without returning to my dormitory. It would be a great early present waking up with you in the morning.

Until later baby

Always, D X X X

Harry smiled and watched the message disappear, he responded with:

Morning Draco love,

Dinner sounds great, a whole night in your arms and to wake in them is the only Christmas present I could wish for. See you soon, I finish classes at 4pm, see you then.

Until later my love

Always, H X X X

Once the message had disappeared he returned the parchment to his pocket, he packed a bag for tonight, making sure Draco's Christmas presents were in there, he then shrunk the bag and also put that into his pocket.

Harry had told Ron and Hermione last night that he was seeing the mystery man from his dream, but he didn't tell them who, he told them that he would be spending the last night of term with him. This morning he told them that he would actually be spending all evening and night with him and that he wouldn't see them until tomorrow, when they all went to the burrow.

Harry was out the door as soon as 4pm arrived, the bell signalling the end of class only just rang. Upon entering the Room of Requirement he saw that Draco was already there, the room was laid out like a large bedsit, it had a small bathroom, a large double bed was in the far corner of the room and the other side of the room was a living room area, with a sofa in front of a fire and a dining table set for a romantic meal.

The whole room was tastefully decorated for Christmas and Harry knew that was Draco's doing. He walked up to him and slid his arms around his waist, tucking his head under Draco's chin, Draco kissed the top of his head.

"Hey…"

Harry couldn't help but smile "Hey to you too."

He pulled away enough to look into Draco's eyes "The room looks great love, it's going to be a lovely Christmas goodbye."

Draco's eyebrows knitted together "Not goodbye baby, just a see you soon."

He then bent and kissed Harry with everything he had. They moved to the couch and snuggled up against each other, they talked about what they liked about Christmas, Draco spoke of the Malfoy Christmas Ball and Harry explained to Draco that he never really celebrated Christmas until he came to Hogwarts as his relatives were spiteful.

"Mrs Weasley gave me a Christmas present my first year and at the time it was the single most amazing thing to happen to me, I had someone who cared enough to send a present."

Draco sadly smiled and soothingly rubbed Harry's back. "I guess my Christmases were the opposite, I had everything I ever wanted and more, but it was still lonely, I only had material things and not the one thing I wanted, a loving family."

He sighed "Love is free and they couldn't spare any."

Harry tightened his arms around Draco's waist and kissed his cheek. "You have me now love, I can give you all the love you could ever want for."

Draco pushed back Harry's hair, looked into his eyes and quietly whispered "Thank you baby, I love you."

Harry smiled, that was the first time that Draco had actually said the words outside of their dream.

"I love you too, you are my everything."

They held onto each other in silence, letting the words sink in. At dinner time they moved over to the dining area and ate a small but romantic meal that Draco had gotten from the kitchens and kept warm under a charm. Once their dinner had time to settle they moved to sit on the rug in front of the fire, so they could exchange gifts.

Harry had gotten Draco some 'ghastly' red socks, hoping he would find it funny. "Everyone needs at least one pair of ghastly red socks my love."

Draco laughed and placed a loving kiss on Harry's lips. Harry had also gotten him a silver bracelet, it was a thick chunky chain link bracelet, with a small section, big enough for an engraved message, and Harry had it engraved with:

'Alway X'.

Draco put it on straight away and looked genuinely pleased with it. Draco gave Harry a white gold necklace, it too was a flat chain and was incredibly expensive.

He put it on for Harry, kissed his neck "Now you can always have a reminder of me, it looks great on you baby."

After kissing and groping for a while Draco pulled away and said with a smirk on his face that he had another present for Harry and that Harry needed to face the other way and not turn around until Draco said he was ready. Harry turned and faced the opposite end of the room from the bathroom, Draco had closed the bathroom door. Harry heard the bathroom door open and then Draco telling him to turn around.

Harry just stared at Draco, mouth hanging open, speechless, Draco was stood dressed in a muggle fireman outfit. He smiled "Wow…now I can see why the muggles like it, you look hot."

Draco sauntered over to Harry "It took me ages to find out how to get hold of this costume, do you want to see my hose?"

Draco winked and smiled seductively. Harry kissed Draco, slipping his tongue in and feeling around his mouth, walking them backwards towards the bed as he continued kissing him. He laid Draco onto the bed, on his back, climbed on him, kissed his neck, his collar bone, removed his top and continued to kiss his chest, licking and sucking on his nipples. Tracing the lines of Draco's upper body with his lips and tongue, he took his time, letting Draco's arousal build, he removed Draco's costume completely.

He began kissing along his abdomen, his pelvis and between his legs, licking and nipping his thighs, not yet touching his penis, he wanted Draco overcome with pleasure before he even started touching his genitals. Soon Draco was withering on the bed, softly moaning, fingers loosely holding onto the bed sheets, Harry was satisfied with the reaction he was getting and moved down to Draco's crotch, he let his breath softly flutter over Draco's erection, his lips lightly touching the head of his penis, he used the very tip of his tongue to swirl over the head and dipped it slightly into the slit, licking up the pre-cum that had gathered there.

Using his hands he massaged his inner thighs and cupped his balls, lightly tugging on them. He proceeded to lick long swift stripes up and down Draco's shaft, moving down and around the base he then told Draco to turn over and he lent forwards and began kissing and licking around the edge of his anus, then up and down the insides of Draco's cheeks and crack of the buttocks, darting his tongue into his entrance and swirling it around, he cast a lubrication spell on his fingers and pushed one finger into Draco.

He continued to kiss and nip Draco's buttocks as he worked his finger inside of Draco. Draco pushed up so he was on all fours, he began playing with himself lightly, Harry removed his finger, separated Draco's buttocks and started licking with more pressure and inserting his tongue in deeper. Harry left Draco to play with himself as he removed his own clothes. He then whispered a lubrication spell on his own penis and then slip it in-between Draco's buttocks, sliding it up and down, letting the tip of his penis brush the rim of Draco anus.

Harry reached around and started playing with one of Draco's nipples, flicking it and tugging it slightly. Draco was making a variety of noises, groaning, moaning, and even mumbling words that Harry couldn't make out. As they frequently had sex, Draco didn't require much preparation and Harry was becoming impatient, he pulled apart his buttocks, took in the sight of Draco, ass in the air, moaning and his entrance ready and waiting to be taken.

Harry moaned at the sight and then entered Draco, inching his penis in bit by bit, soon he was fully inside and he took hold of Draco's hips and began thrusting. He moved one hand to Draco's shoulder, griping it and the other remained on Draco's hip. Draco had begun to moan more frequently and the moans were louder, Harry knew that this position allowed for deep penetration. Harry began speeding up his rhythm and the force of his thrusts.

He was soon thrusting vigorously and soon felt the approach of his orgasm "Are you close love?"

It took a while for Draco to answer but he managed to stutter out "…mmmmm….almost baby….."

Draco moved from his hands to leaning on his knees and elbows, Harry began pulling almost all the way out and then thrust forcefully back in, Harry was turned on, he was so close and seeing his penis siding in and out of Draco, Draco's anus wrapped tightly around his cock, he exploded inside Draco as he felt Draco's anus tighten around him as Draco reached his climax, an orgasm so powerful he collapsed onto his front.

Harry followed and kissed Draco's shoulders, murmuring "I love you." They cleaned themselves up and led in a loose embrace, soon they fell asleep. That evening the made love again in the shower, Draco woke Harry up in the middle of the night by giving him a blow job and then having sex again when they woke in the morning. They showered and dressed, Harry went to the kitchens and got them breakfast whilst Draco was getting ready. They ate and then kissed for a long time, however the time came for Draco to leave and they kissed goodbye, promising to use their secret parchment to send messages.
