"Your turn Harry" Said Dean grinning brightly as the bottle of fire whiskey made its way to him. "Dare" he said softly after a slight hesitation.
Dean clapped his hands together in excitement looking around the circle at Seamus and Neville and Ron who were all waiting eagerly to hear what Harry's dare would be. Dean smiled devilishly before speaking the words that would change Harry's life forever.
"I dare you to kiss Draco Malfoy." Harry's eyes got wide as both thoughts of impossibility and excitement raced through his mind. Ron began to choke on his fire whiskey as Neville and Seamus laughed and Dean just sat smirking. "Gonna Chicken out?" He challenged.
Harry's eyes glowed with resolution and determination. "I accept!" Ron groaned and the other boys cheered in support. Harry's smile grew as he continued "and I will do it tonight!"
Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini were sitting in the Slytherin common room when a snowy white, unmistakably Harry Potter's, owl pecked softly at the window.
Pansy smiled at Draco "expecting something?" Draco brushed off her comment as he crossed the room to let the owl in. Hedwig hopped in the room and settled on Draco's shoulder dropping a small patch of parchment into his hands. Draco opened it and was greeted by the scratchy scrawl of the famous raven haired boy.
Malfoy
I would like to discuss a truce.
-HP
His eyebrows quirked up in surprise and Zabini laughed from behind him. "I would LOVE to discuss a truce with Harry Potter!" Pansy laughed and replied "keep it in your pants Blaise."
Blaise was well known for being comfortable with both sexes and anybody could see that Harry Potter was a beautiful male specimen. Draco was far from immune to this. He summoned some parchment and a quill and a few owl treats before sitting down to reply.
Harry had been picking at his hands in anticipation of Draco's reply. Hedwig flew in the open window and the other boys looked up from their chess match. Harry took the note and grinned before jumping up. "Come on now what does it say?" Neville shouted after him. Harry thrust it toward him and his grin just got bigger.
Potter,
Room of Requirement
-DM
Neville looked up from the note to see Harry running off to grab his invisibility cloak. Neville smiled knowing that Harry had feelings for the Blonde and this was just the push he needed to finally act on them.
Harry raced out of the portrait hole and sprinted to the room of requirement slowing down only when he almost ran right into Professor Snape. He caught his breath and walked the rest of the way. His thoughts on the way there were rushed and excited, this was something he had always wanted.
Draco fixed his prefects badge on his chest and walked very calmly and justified to the room of requirement. He let his thoughts wander to Harry. 'Why now? What has changed?' HE glanced around unsure if the raven haired boy would use that damned cloak of his and he managed to not look startled when that messy mop of dark hair and bright emerald eyes popped out of thin air.
Before he could scold the boy for such a startling appearance the door opened and Harry slipped the cloak off and went into the room. He stepped into the room and looked around smirking at the red and gold that coated the room.
He moved his gaze back to Harry who was walking about the room almost habitually. "Come here often Potter?" Harry shrugged as he dropped the cloak on the small coffee table. "Sometimes, yeah". Draco's smirk fell and he faltered for half a second then catching himself he slipped back into the Malfoy mask. "So what about this truce?" he asked, his voice cold and detached.
Harry turned and looked at him giving him a most curious look. Draco inwardly shivered as the emerald eyes looked him over, they looked deep and endless and they looked him over like a caress. After a moment Harry's eyes snapped up to meet Draco's shimmering silver ones and he smiled. "Yeah I think we should have a truce and maybe try to be…" he hesitated before whispering "friends".
Draco was going to laugh incredulously but the look hidden in those green swimming depths stopped him and he stumbled into rushed words. "Why now eh? What's new?" Harry felt the accusation in the pale boy's voice and dropped his eyes. "Nothing new... it's just…. I think we need to move past this foolish bickering".
His last words were reinforced as he looked up and met Draco's gaze, his burning green eyes holding Draco's smoldering silver ones. Draco swallowed, startled by the intensity of the Raven boy's gaze. "I-I" He hated how scared his voice sounded and he quickly gained control of himself. "Yes, we should. It is childish". He stepped forward extending his hand much like that day in Madame Malkins. Harry smiled recognizing the determination in Draco's face. He crossed the space and took his hand. Draco felt a sense of accomplishment and he shook his hand firmly. Harry's smile grew and he suddenly pulled Draco forward and pressed his lips to Draco's...
