Sorry this has taken so long and sorry that it is so short.

The rumours begin

Why did Ron and Hermione keep looking over at him and Draco? He'd noticed it at soon as potions had started. Because they were only a small class, the pupils had been sat with each pair having their own table. Ron and Hermione taking the table to the right of Harry and Draco.

During the lesson Harry couldn't help but notice how close he and Draco were sat. The tables were large enough to have a cauldron on yet they were sat very close to each other, they were on different sides but they were close to the corner. His mind kept reminding him off this all the way through the lesson making the blood rise in his cheeks, this blush was deepened when Draco leaned into him and whispered:

"Why do Granger and Weasley keep looking over at us?"

Oh for Merlin's sake! Malfoy had noticed? He was going to kill them!

"I have no idea." He whispered back through gritted teeth.

"Do you want to make them stare some more?"

Harry stared at him with confusion, what on earth could Malfoy mean? A variety of scenarios then whizzed through Harry's mind, the one that he liked most was the one of Malfoy grabbing him and kissing him. Blushing at this thought he just nodded at Malfoy.

When it turned out Malfoys idea to make them stare more was just to grab Harrys hand under the table, he was a bit disappointed. It did as intended though, Hermione and Ron where sat at just the right angle so they could see Harry and Draco hands, and they were sat with their mouths hanging open.

What they couldn't see however where the tingles that were shooting up Harry's arm to and making his heart beat faster, he was also struggling to breathe, all of this caused by Draco holding his hand, this had never happened with Ginny.

What Harry didn't know was that the exact same thing was happening with Draco.

When it was time for the lesson to end, neither of them wanted to let go of the other, but they were never go admit this, so they reluctantly let go. They walked out of the classroom together and came face to face with Hermione and Ron.

"So?" Hermione queried?

Both Harry and Draco put on faces of pure innocence, "So what?" Draco asked, finding full enjoyment out of this whole experience.

Hermione just sighed and walked away. Ron waited a bit longer and looked from Harry to Draco and back again, raised an eye brow, smiled and nodded and went to follow his girlfriend. Draco would later say that that was the moment he knew he had got Weasley's approval.

Draco turned to Harry, "Charms?"

Harry smiled at him, "Charms."

For the rest of the day whenever one of them caught Hermione, or Ron, or both looking at them they would do something coupley, either hold the other ones hand, place their head of the others shoulder or even hug the other one. They were too caught up in their game not to notice their students catching onto the way they were behaving, it was then that the rumours of the Draco and Harry "affair" started to spread.

Hope you enjoyed it

And hope it was worth the long wait
