Alright so this one is REALLY long! I hope you don't mind ^^" I hope you guys like it! Hopefully I can post again soon as long as college homework doesn't get too crazy =P
Harry began to play a very relaxing song which didn't have any lyrics. Draco just sat back and listened to the song with his eyes closed. It was like he was telling a peaceful, amazing story with just music, and Draco could imagine the whole story in his head easily. Of course it contained Harry, himself, and somewhere they could be alone and together. "Where did you hear that one mate?" Ron broke the peace which made Draco frown slightly, but Harry continued to play anyway.
"The muggle radio," Harry smiled; he always enjoyed playing this song.
"I actually like it," Draco confessed, looking over to Harry.
"It reminds me a lot of you," Harry grinned, finishing off the song.
"Me?" Draco's eyes widened, "R-Really?"
"Yes, it's bea-"
"Oi, don't get mushy, I'm still right here!" Ron rolled his eyes at the two.
"Way to ruin the moment, Ron."
"You've ruined many moments for me and Hermione."
Harry could only chuckle darkly, "That was just fun."
"Wait… You did?" Draco blinked over to Harry, surprised to hear that he would do such a thing to his golden friends.
"Me and Hermione were snogging, and then out of nowhere he comes running in with fake blood coming from his hoodie, screaming like a mad man, pretending that he lost a limb!" Ron glared at the raven-haired boy.
Harry burst into a fit of laughter, "Y-Your- your faces were amazing!" He wiped at his watering eyes, "Besides, you two had been snogging for at least two days straight! I had to snap you two out of it somehow!"
Draco smacked Harry's shoulder playfully, chuckling slightly, "That's awful!"
"It was great and I was bored!" Harry just grinned, "I regret nothing."
"It scared the crap out of us!" Ron shook his head and finally let out a small laugh, "He then started to laugh and said it was just strawberry syrup!"
"Ketchup isn't as convincing," Harry sighed, content with his accomplishments in life.
Draco only shook his head, chuckling at the scene that had formed in his head, "You lot are ridiculous."
"I've been told I get it from my dad," Harry smiled and leaned back in the couch, strumming a few more chords.
"He should have kept the trait," Ron sighed, pouting slightly.
"I had to make him proud somehow," Harry grinned, Draco could only shake his head and grab another cookie. Harry started another song, this time playing a love song that was obviously directed at Draco. Draco's cheeks turned a wonderful shade of pink as he listened, still surprised by the voice he possessed.
"You just want me to puke, don't you?" Ron asked bluntly. Harry just grinned, an obvious evil glint in his eye.
Harry stopped playing when Mrs. Weasley made her way into the room, "Dinner is ready!"
Ron was the first to get up and made his way into the kitchen; Draco swore he had never seen the Weasel move so fast. Harry set the guitar to the side and stood up, offering his hand to Draco, giving him a warm grin. He took his hand and smiled up at him. Harry kissed his hand and entered the kitchen, taking seats next to each other. Draco squeezed his hand and held it under the table, their fingers laced together. Soon the plates were passed out and everyone was piling food onto their plates. Harry watched as Draco piled mashed potatoes onto his plate and two rolls. "Is that all you're going to eat?"
Draco just blinked at him, "What? It's a lot of potatoes…"
Harry just smiled at him, "Don't you want something else? Like sweet potatoes or turkey?"
"Mmm… I'll try a little turkey," Draco was always a picky eater, but they were nice enough to invite him here, he may as well give it a try. Harry passed him a plate of turkey, and he took a few pieces to try it out. "Mmm, it's really good," he then decided that it was worth it to try a little bit more. He soon had a wide variety on his plate, enjoying all of it. Harry watched him and smiled; Draco smiled back at Harry, finding it surprising that he was actually enjoying his time here.
After dinner, they all had started to converse lightly with each other, Harry leaned back in his seat, "I'm so stuffed." He then squeezed Draco's hand, "Hey, I'm going to head to the bathroom, I'll be right back."
Draco smiled and nodded to him, Harry then went down a random hallway. Draco got up and sat on the couch, he felt stuffed as well and sleepy from all the warm delicious food that he had consumed. "Draco, do you mind coming over here to talk for a bit?" Ginny pointed down the hallway.
Draco blinked at her, not sure what to make of it, but he decided that it couldn't be anything too terrible, "Yes, what do you need to talk about?"
"I wanted to apologize since I spilled it to my mum," She rubbed the back of her neck.
"Oh...no, it's fine really. Don't worry about it." He internally sighed from relief, that's all she wanted.
"Yeah, I mean it's not like it's going to last long anyway, right?" She laughed lightly.
"Wait…Excuse me?" Draco blinked a few times, trying to determine if what he heard was correct. "W-Why would you say something like that?"
"Well, before Harry was with you, he was with me," She said this like it was the most obvious thing in the world. But Draco just stared at her, waiting for her point, "He wants a family, why would he be with something that can't even bear him children?"
Draco just stared at her, "How do you know what he wants? He obviously didn't want you! I can't give him children, but I can give him love and support!"
"I think it's more of a one sided support, isn't it?" She crossed her arms, "What support do you offer? Money? He's got that."
"We support each other! Because we love each other!" Draco almost sounded desperate as he said this.
"Is that what you call it?" She shook her head, "More like lust."
"What's going on here?" Harry had appeared next to Draco.
"S-She thinks we're not going to last!" Draco pointed to Ginny, blurting this out from the built up frustration.
"I don't know what he's talking about," Ginny put on her best innocent face.
"W-What? Are you kidding me?" Draco was ready to slap her hard across the face. "You pulled me over here to tell me my relationship with Harry wasn't going to last!"
"Why would you accuse me of that?" She asked, "You're just as vile as ever."
Draco grit his teeth, "I'm telling the truth! Harry…You believe me right?"
Harry just watched the two go back and forth waiting for a chance to say something, "Ginny, I heard you, you were standing right next to the bathroom…"
Ginny blushed a shade of red, she hadn't realized where Harry had actually gone, "Look, Harry, you… you're just like a brother to me! I can't let you go out with someone that will hurt you eventually, I don't trust him!"
"Ginny, please, the war is over. There is no reason to feel this way towards him," Harry wrapped an arm around Draco while he tried to reason with Ginny, he could feel Draco cling to him while he shook in his arms.
"Harry, come on, how do you know this isn't just a phase? Don't you think you rushed into this too fast?" Ginny only intention was to make Harry realize that he was jumping into this relationship.
But, Harry was all too sure that this relationship was worth the risk, "I'm in love with him, and I'm certain of it."
"J-Just a phase? Do you hear yourself?" Draco's voice shook as he spoke.
"You weren't into boys before!" Ginny was starting to get flustered.
"I'm not into boys, or girls. I'm into Draco," Harry kept his voice calm, he had to since one was nearly having an anxiety attack in his arms, while the other was overly frustrated that no one else saw her point of view.
"You used to hate him!" Ginny finally yelled, "How can you even look at him after what he's done to you?"
"Ginny, if you actually gave him a chance, you would understand why I can't hate him now, and if you knew me well you would know I never hated him. He was a school rival," Harry tried to explain as calmly as he could, but at this point, he was feeling frustrated.
Draco winced as Ginny spoke and frowned deeply, he hugged close to Harry, "I know I'm not perfect, but I'm changing for the better."
"Look, Ginny, I understand you're only trying to be a 'friend' in this situation, but you're doing more damage than good," Harry sighed heavily, "I'm sorry you still can't accept him, but at least the others are taking steps to forgive and forget, you should take that step too." Harry pulled Draco past Ginny down the hall and found the room that they would be sharing that night. He closed the door and sat Draco down on the bed, "Hey Draco, love, how are you feeling?"
Draco stood back up and paced the room, he slicked his hair back on instinct, obviously upset, "I-I don't know…"
Harry pulled Draco back onto the bed with him, "Come here love, she didn't faze me one bit, and it's only her that reacted that way. Everyone else is okay with you."
"But she's the one that dated you! She knows you! Y-your needs… I-I… Maybe I'm not good enough for you…," Draco frowned, this was Harry Potter, the boy who lived. The Boy that saved all of the wizarding world from being taken over by a horrible dark wizard. Why should he have the pleasure of being the one he loved.
"Draco, please, not this again." Harry ran his hand through his hair, "I want a family, but I don't mind adopting at all." He then stopped his hand mid-way through Draco's hand a deep blush appearing on his face. "I… um, also may have done some research… out of curiosity, I found this potion."
Draco looked up at him and blinked, "A potion?"
"Male Pregnancy." Harry spoke so softly it was amazing Draco could even hear him.
"O-Oh…," Draco felt his own face flush.
"I figured it would be another good option…," Harry's face was almost as red as Ron's hair, "But someday! Not now!" He decided to clarify this and gave a nervous laugh.
"I-I… Well, I'm glad to know we have options," Draco admitted, his face was also becoming a lovely scarlet.
Harry rubbed the back of his head, "I'm sorry if I seem like a weirdo for looking that up," he grinned stupidly.
"N-No! Not at all." Draco could only wonder who would be the one to carry the child.
"But don't doubt yourself, honestly. I wouldn't have asked you out if I wasn't completely sure that I believed we could make this work out, I promise," Harry offered a small grin.
"I-I just… worry. I mean, we weren't exactly close for a very long time, and we spent most of our time competing," Draco was starting to feel better.
"Competition is healthy, besides there are a lot of people who fight a lot and then realize that it was all just sexual tension," Harry held him close and kissed his forehead.
Draco nuzzled at his cheek and sighed, "This is the first time I've ever felt this happy… I've always been alone… I think I deserve a little happiness and love."
Harry grinned, "There's the Draco I know." He kissed him and ran a hand through his hair. "You deserve it more than most people realize, I'm just happy I am the one that gets to bring it to you."
Soon there is a knock at the door, Draco jumped and hid behind Harry, expecting a horde of angry Weasley's. "Harry?" Hermione's voice spoke, she then opened the door and walked in with Ron. "Is everything okay?"
"Ginny said you called her a bitch!" Ron said bluntly making Draco grab onto Harry's shoulder even more tightly.
"I never said that! I-"
"Let him finish," Hermione held up her hand.
"George said that he was listening in on the conversation between Ginny and Draco for kicks with the extendable ears again. But he heard the whole thing." Ron explained, Harry could feel Draco relax a bit.
"Did something happen with her to trigger this?" Harry asked, she was never like this before.
"Well, she just broke up with Dead recently, again," Hermione shrugged frowning.
Draco frowned, "So she's taking it out on us?"
"I think she was just jealous seeing you with someone that makes you really happy when she can't even keep up her own relationship with Dean, they have been on and off for a while." Hermione gave a further explanation, "But it doesn't make it right what she said."
"Don't worry, mum sat her down," Ron gave a thumbs up, "I don't know why she cares so much, jeeze."
"Well considering that she's surrounded by happy couples, it probably just made her snap," Hermione tried to simplify it.
"See Draco, nothing to worry about, no one will harm you," Harry ran a hand through his hair.
"I'm not worried about my safety… I'm worried about losing you," Draco admitted, frowning down at his hands.
Harry placed his finger under his chin and made him look at him, "You're not going to lose me," He rubbed his back, "Just trust me, okay?"
Hermione smiled and walked toward them embracing them both, "You two are just too cute!"
"G-Gah!" Draco turned a dark shade of red and hid against Harry's side, if someone had told him at age 12 that Granger would hug him and he wouldn't hex her for it, he would have laughed in their faces. He really has come a long way.
Hermione then turned to Ron, "You know, I'm proud of you Ron, I expected more negativity from you towards their relationship but you have really taken it well."
She walked over and kissed his cheek, his own cheeks warming up, "W-Well you know, after what we all have been through together, I really don't care anymore. As long as Harry doesn't kill anyone, I think I'm pretty okay with whatever he wants to do. You can't just defeat an evil dark lord from taking over the world and just ignore him because he decides that he likes blokes. Honestly, it seems kind of stupid to get upset over it."
Hermione just smiled and pulled him into a tight embrace, "I love you, Ron!"
Ron hugged her and looked over her shoulder to Harry grinning and winking at him. "I love you too, Hermione."
Harry just shook his head and grinned, "You two are funny."
"Besides Draco, Harry, he's a good guy, don't think he would give up on something like this just because of what others say," Ron added in which earning him another squeeze from Hermione. "If Harry trusts that you two are happy then I have no right to step in and say he's wrong."
Draco stared at Ron in shock, "T-Thank you."
"Ron has his moments," Harry grinned and kissed Draco's cheek, and then turned to Ron, "Thanks mate."
"Well, I appreciate his support." Draco smiled, just happy to finally be accepted.
"We should get downstairs guys, it's almost midnight," Harry checked his watch and smiled. Draco gave a nod and slipped off the bed with Harry.
"We will be lighting the fireworks soon, let's head down," Ron took Hermione's hand and walked with her down the stairs.
"I love George's fireworks," Harry smiled and took Draco's hand as well and they made their way out to the yard.
Once they reached the area where everyone stood, Molly came walking up to Draco, "Draco, there you are," she gave him a warm smile, "Would you like to light the first one? I will give you the signal when to light it, alright dear?"
Draco eyes widened surprised he was offered to do so. "A-Alright, sure." He took out his wand ready for the signal.
Molly smiled and pat his shoulder, "Harry and Ron fight over who gets to light it each year, this time it's your turn." She winked at him and then stepped back. "Alright everyone 10, 9,…" they continued the countdown as a large group. Draco also found himself taking part in the countdown, once they reached 3 Molly whispered, "Now Draco."
"Incedio!" he lit the first on and stepped back with Molly and made his way over to Harry watching the rockets fly up into the sky and explode into a mesh of many colors. The fireworks were charmed to take on different shapes, like dragons, lions, pumas, pixies, and many more. They danced in the night above them. Draco felt someone wrap their arms around him from behind and kiss his neck. Draco smiled and twisted around so he could kiss Harry, "Happy New Years, love."
Harry smiled back, "Happy New Years."
