Grabbing
Draco gets taken with strange fits of jealousy sometimes.
At these times, he usually grabs Harry's hand and presses it to his chest, as if guarding a precious treasure.
"Mine!" is the word he usually blurts out.
The strangest things set off these fits of jealousy. The first time it happened, Harry had been scratching crookshank's tummy. According to Draco, the "creepy monster-cat" had been enjoying the attention too much.
The second time it had happened, Draco claimed that the waitress had been looking at Harry strangely. But Harry still maintains that this was probably because Draco had forced Harry into wearing matching couple shirts that day.
The last time it had happened, Draco had claimed a girl in the park had been looking at Harry too intently for normal interest. When asked to point out said girl, Draco had haughtily gestured in the direction of a nearby baby pram.
Harry has learned not to try and extricate himself from Draco's gentle yet somehow unyielding grip when this happens, even if everyone in the room starts peering suspiciously at them.
The growls Draco makes when Harry tries to do this are usually much worse.
Besides, although Harry would never admit it out loud, it wasn't that bad having Draco cradle his hand like that. It wasn't that bad at all.
Draco also has a little sheet of black parchment, on which he scribbles names in bright red.It's Draco's black list.
The people on the list, apparently have designs on Harry and are considered Draco's mortal enemies until proven otherwise.
Harry usually tries to avoid these people, if only to humour Draco. But seriously, it was rather hard to avoid the magic mirror in the corridor to Harry's office.
Sometimes Draco scribbles down random names that Harry can't even remember.
Apparently some girl called Eliza in Sussex wrote too much fan mail for her own good.
Harry tries not to smile as Draco updates him on the growing number of people on his list every weekend.
Harry also tries his best not to kiss Draco's nose as Draco scrunches it in disdain while reading some of the names.
But then again maybe he doesn't try hard enough.
When faced with the question whether Draco's possessive streak was too much, Harry usually just smiles serenely.
Harry never found it oppressive or suffocating.
He relished the attention.
At the end of the day, Harry just honestly liked being "Draco's".
And Draco's alone.
