Hogsmead and change

The week previously had flown by, Harry and Draco had spent as much time as they could together, while also hanging around with Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Draco had also started to notice that more people were saying hello to him on the corridor, when he had brought this up Ron told him that it was just the effect of being friends with Harry. Hermione and Ginny backed him up on this while Harry just blushed.

Hogsmead weekends use to be just like anyother weekend for Draco. He would go round with Crabbe and Goyle scowling at the younger students and turning his nose up at the people who lived there, but this weekend it was different. If someone had told Draco that he would one day be going to Hogsmead on the arm of the boy who lived while discussing potions with Hermione he would have laughed, said something degrading about muggleborns, while also wishing he was on the arm of Potter, but here he was and he had never been happier. The weather was becoming colder, autumn was definitely making its presence known, so they were all wrapped in scalves and thick coats and Draco was using it as an excuse to snuggle into Harry as much as he could.

Once they reached the main part of Hogsmead, Ron and Hermione went towards Madam Pudiffoots for a bit of 'coupley time' as Ginny called it. Ginny herself went to join her classmates at the The Three Broomsticks. This left Draco and Harry alone with a difficult decision….

"What are we going to do?" Draco turned his head towards Harry, refusing to let go of his arm.

"No idea" Harry turned towards him and kissed him gently.

Draco blushed, it was still new to him, being openly coupley with pda, especially with that being with Harry.

Harry chuckled, "why don't we buy some sweets and find somewhere to sit? We can then meet up with the others later and walk back to school?"

"Sounds good to me."

Once inside the shop they bought a selection of sweets, Harry refusing to let Draco to pay for any of them. They then found a shaded spot hidden away but also with a clear view to see when Ron and Hermione leave the tea shop.

They sat there snuggled together for a while, both content, happy and enjoying the silence.

"Cauldron cake?" Draco blinked a few times, coming back to the real world.

"Yeah, thank you" he took one from the bag, "they're my favourite".

"I know." Harry smiled to himself, "they don't just magically appear on train tables"

Draco just stared at him, "It was you?!"

Harry face fell a bit, "I went searching for you on the train, wanted to offer the olive branch, clean slate and all that. I found you asleep, you looked scared but I didn't want to startle you, I left them in front of you for when you woke up."

"You watched me sleep? That's kind of stalkery."

"That's what you got from that?"

Draco sent him a wide smile, "Just teasing, I was genuinely touched by it, didn't know who to thank, so thank you."

He placed a kiss on Harry's cheek.

"Your welcome, can I ask what you were dreaming about?"

Draco quickly looked away, "it's just a recurring dream I have, im in Malfoy manor and im walking down a corridor I don't know, then someone shouts av…ava…the killing curse then I wake up."

Harry pulled him into a tight hug, kissing him on the forehead, Draco had a feeling he was trying to kiss the nightmares away.

They stayed like that for the rest of the day, eating sweats and swapping stories and kisses in equal measure. Ron and Hermione eventually joined them, bringing with them drinks and cake.

Once they made their way back to Hogwarts none of them had any room for dinner so they made their way towards the Gryffindor common room. Neither the fat lady nor any of the Gryffindor students batted an eyelid or questioned the fact that Draco was with them, some of the students even smiled at him, said hi or asked how his day was.

What was surprising was that Draco himself didn't question this, who knew the day would come where he felt more at home in the Gryffindor common room in the arms of Harry Potter.

When it came to going to bed Draco started to walk to the exit and make his way to the Slytherin common room when Ron grabbed his arm, "where you off to?"

"Bed…..?" he was very confused, why was Ron smiling at him like that?

"You should follow me?"

"Ron should I remind you, your with Hermione and I'm with Harry?"

Ron just shook his head and started walking, Draco behind him.

Once they reached the dormitory Draco followed him in, confusion growing, once he was inside his heart leapt. His bed from the Slytherin dormitory was there, with his trunk, "whats going on?"

Harry was stood in the middle of the room looking as gobsmacked as Draco, he held a letter out towards him;

Dear Mr Potter and Mr Malfoy,

It has come to my attention that you two have finally realised your feelings for each other.

I have decided to move Mr Malfoy into the Gryffindor tower. Mr Malfoy having none of his previous friends with him and Gryffindor Dormitory having the spare space.

I hope that you will act responsibly and won't make me regret this.

Yours

Professor McGonagall.

Harry and Draco looked at each other, both becoming very very nervous all of a sudden.

Ron coughed, scratched his head and stated very loudly that he was "going to go get a shower."
