Bacon, toast and embarrassment
Harry was having a dilemma, an adorable and snoring dilemma.
His dilemma was the blonde Slytherin that was currently sprawled across his bed and drooling on his pillow. For the last couple of minutes he had been having an exchange with the blonde consisting of him whispering "Draco" and gaining the response *snore*.
He sat at the foot of his bed holding a bacon butty on his lap and gazing at the other boy. He then shuffled further up the bed, being cautious to not disturb sleeping beauty, he placed the food on his night stand and placed a kiss on Draco's forehead and stood to leave.
He didn't get very far.
As he stood to leave an arm shot out of the covers and grabbed him and pulled him back down.
"Shworry".
A laugh bubbled in Harry's stomach, "pardon?"
Draco lifted his head enough to say "sorry" then flopped his head down again.
Harry smiled and stroked the blondes hair, how did I not fall for you earlier.
"What?"
Harry's eyes bugged out of his face, shit!
Draco rolled over, sat up and repeated his previous question.
"Nothing."
"No no, you said something."
Harry stood up, almost threw the bacon butty at Draco and walked towards the door.
"What did you say?"
"You heard!" and he walked out the door.
When the door had shoot Draco just smiled towards "Yeah I did, and I wish you had" he took a bite out of his breakfast and gave a small sigh "it's not like I haven't liked you since we met".
Harry went into the common flopped on the sofa and put his head in Ginny's lap, who had been reading there quite contently.
"How's it going?" she asked, lifting her book up slightly so she could see his face.
"Great."
Ginny's response was a raised eyebrow and to put her book on the side table.
"Urgh" Harry put his hands on his face, "I'm well and truly fucked."
"That is the end game yes".
"GINNY!"
She laughed, "well it is, isn't it?"
Harry blushed, looking at he well and truly shocked "well yes but still, this isn't a conversation ex's usually have".
"Have we ever been normal though" she sent him a cheeky smile.
He smiled back "no we haven't".
"So what happened?"
"I showed my feelings by accident."
"And this is bad?" she tilted her head to emphasise her question.
"no….?"
"it's a good thing your pretty" she stroked his hair.
Harry tilted his head up a bit "you think im pretty?" He fluttered his lashes.
She shook her head, grabbed her book and booped him on the head with it.
"Ow!"
They burst into laughter and stayed on the sofa till Hermione and Ron joined them and the spoke about what had happened after Harry and Draco left the party. The jist was everyone got absolutely wasted, couples left early, people hooked up and more than one couple got caught by prefects in broom closests.
"Sounds like a successful party."
"Why thank you" Ginny gave a nod of the head as a bow.
They all went silent for a while, Hermione and Ron ended up playing chess, giving Ginny and Harry something to watch, chess had never been more domestic. Hermione ended up winning by reaching over towards Ron, brushing his hair behind his ear, "accidently" giving him a view down her shirt, making Ron blush and leave the room.
"I've never been more proud" Ginny said giving her a high five.
While at the same time Harry looked scarred, hugged a pillow to himself and whispering "I've never been more scarred"
"There's was no way I could win." She looked very proud of herself.
"What's happened to Harry?" a groggy Draco was stood on the stares rubbing sleep out of his eyes.
"He watched his parents flirt" Ginny sent him a smile, "how you feeling buddy?"
"Ashamed, tired, embarrassed, tired…did I say ashamed?" he walked over and sat on Harry's lap.
"Sign of a good night then."
He nodded in agreement and rested his head on Harry's shoulder.
They spent the rest of the weekend sitting around the fireplace in the common room, playing various games and talking about nothing in particular. Draco grew to love Ginny and could tell why Harry fell for her, he loved watching Hermione and Ron together, and started to feel bad for how he treated them in the past.
He actually apologised to Hermione when they walked to the great hall for food, "Hermione" he put a hand on her shoulder to stall her, "I need to apologise for all the times I called you a" he swallowed the word tasting horrible in his mouth, "a mud…..mudblood".
Hermione just gave him a small smile and pulled him into a hug, it felt almost like a mum hug, in his ear she whispered "and I apologise for punching you in the face".
They started laughing and carried on walking "it was a good punch and I deserved it".
It was one of the best weekend Draco had had at Hogwarts.
Im so so so sorry!
I've had a weird couple of months.
(sidenote: the moment between ginny holds a special place in my heart).
Hope it was worth the wait
