I'm so sorry this has taken so long!
It's a lot longer than the last one so I hope this makes up for it!
You get both Malfoy's and Harry's POV in this!
Complete
Draco POV
Where in the name of Merlin was Potter taking him? They'd walked all the way through the dungeon and were now walking through the Entrance Hall. They had passed a couple of other students on their walk, but when no-one was around then Draco would shout out "Potter!" to try and get the chosen ones attention and ask him what was going, it was all very confusing for multiple reasons:
1. Why was Potter wandering around the castle like someone under the imperious curse?
2. Why had he asked Draco of all people to walk with him?
3. Why had Draco thought this was an okay idea?
4. Where was the rest of the golden trio? Probably making out somewhere!
5. Had Potter's arse always looked that good?...WAIT! WHAT?!
That last question was the confusing, since when did Draco stair at Potter's arse? And why did he think it was good? This was all getting very ridiculous.
This entire scenario was ridiculous, he had followed Potter without thinking and now he was thinking about Potter's arse, what was happening?
Draco started to walk faster and stepped in front of Potter causing the latter to stop, in the middle of the corridor, if it hadn't been for Potter's seeker reflexes they might have ended up sprawled on the floor.
"Where are you going?!" Draco was hoping to ask this is in a calm voice but had failed and shouted it at Potter.
"I don't know", Potter looked up at him defeated, he stared into Draco's eyes and held them, Draco felt the frustration seeping out of him.
"What's going on?" not breaking the eye contact.
"I don't know. I was supposed to go to the common room to be by myself for a bit. Then I found myself in the dungeons, then I saw you and I realised I didn't want to be myself. That's why I asked to you to follow me. Then I just kept walking and walking." He gave Draco a slight smile, but his eyes had started to well up. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble I just can't be alone."
Draco had no idea why he did what he did next, he grabbed Potter and pulled him into a hug and held him. Draco Malfoy was hugging Harry Potter.
They stood there for a while till Draco finally broke the silence, "what's wrong?"
"Everything." Potter moved his head so his forehead was pressed into the crook of Malfoys neck, he seemed to fit against Malfoy perfectly.
"Want to talk about it?"
He felt Potter shake his head against him.
"Want to stay here hugging?" he wasn't going to push the other to boy to answer, he'd talk when he wanted to.
There was a pause before Potter slowly nodded his head. Malfoy chuckled, if his father could see him now.
It was about midnight when Malfoy got back to his common room. He led on his bed and pondered what the hell had just happened.
They'd stood in the corridor for ages, him holding Potter, feeling the other boy breathing against him. Potter had eventually pulled away and looked at him, not talking just looked at him. Draco wouldn't admit this to anyone but he had hoped the other boy would have kissed him, he almost had himself. He'd felt complete when he was holding Potter and when Potter had pulled back his front had felt cold, like the warmth had gone.
Potter had swiftly turned away and walked down the corridor. Leaving a bemused Draco on his own.
He rolled over in his bed, what was going on? He spent years hating Potter and now he wanted to kiss him and hold him and make him feel safe.
Harry POV
The entire walk from the dungeon Harry had wanted to turn around and check that Malfoy was still following him, but the distinct sound Malfoys shoes made where enough to make him keep on looking forward. If only he could think of a destination for where he was going.
He couldn't remember how he had ended up in the dungeon or why, but once he had seen Malfoy he knew he wanted wherever he was going to be with the blonde slytherin.
Why though?
He'd almost reached out and taken the other boys hand he just hoped Malfoy hadn't noticed.
He must have thought Malfoy name too much because he was all of a sudden in front of him.
"Where are you going?!" the tone of Malfoy's voice startled Harry, he really wished he had an answer.
"I don't know", might as well be honest.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. I was supposed to go to the common room to be by myself for a bit. Then I found myself in the dungeons, then I saw you and I realised I didn't want to be myself. That's why I asked to you to follow me. Then I just kept walking and walking. I'm sorry for causing you trouble I just can't be alone." His eyes started to fill up, he could have exploded there and then and spouted all of his problems to the other boy, the boy he had hated for so many years, the boy who stood in front of him now, no longer with hatred in his eyes but worry. Draco Malfoy was worried about Harry Potter.
Harry found himself being pulled into a hug he felt Malfoys arms tighten around and he let himself e held.
Harry felt everything melt away and he just stood there, till Malfoy broke the silence "what's wrong?"
"Everything." He moved his head so it was resting in the crook of Malfoy's neck, it felt right, he felt like he in the place he was mean to be.
"Want to talk about it?"
Harry shook his head it was too perfect a moment to spoil it.
"Want to stay here hugging?"
Harry didn't answer straight away, he wasn't sure what Malfoy would think if he said yes, he wouldn't have hugged you if he didn't want to. Harry slowly nodded his head and then waited for Malfoy's response. When Malfoy chuckled Harry felt it move through him and it made all his problems melt away.
He could have stayed in Malfoys arms forever, but he knew he would have to move at some point. He stood there feeling Malfoy breathing. He was the first to let go and he looked up at the other boy, he could have sworn Malfoy looked disappointed to be no longer holding him.
He all of a sudden had the urge to kiss the other boy. Malfoy was stood in front of him, not the boy from first year with the slicked back hair, but the man who had survived the battle of Hogwarts, and Harry wanted to kiss that man, he was falling for that man.
He started to move his hand towards Malfoy's face but one word made him drop his hand and walk away….Ginny.
His head was spinning as he walked back to the common room.
He had almost kissed Malfoy. He still wanted to kiss Malfoy, if he turned around would he still be there?
He made his decision he span on his heel and ran back to where they had been, but it was deserted, Malfoy was gone.
He stepped defeated into the common room.
"Where have you been?" the recognisable voice of Hermione reached his ears.
"I went for a walk."
"You've been walking for hours!"
"I got lost" this came out more as a question than a statement, he knew Hermione knew when he was lying.
Hermione just walked up and placed a hand on his cheek, "you okay?"
He just smiled at her, gave her a peck on the forehead, nodded to Ron who was sprawled on the couch in front on the fire and went up to his room.
