Hellooooo

Hellooooo! Sorry this chapter's taken so long to get out! But there's finally some H/D slash

Harry and Draco kiss! YAY!

Warning: This chapter is slash, two guys kissing. So if you're too young, or you're offended by that then press the back button right about now. Oh yeah, and a soggy Draco and Harry

Disclaimer: All these wunderful charas belong to J.K.R cept of course for Ashley, who belongs to me!

No swimming in the lake

Draco sat, staring at the inky blackness of the lake. Watching as the Giant Squid lazily waved it's tentacles.

'Why am I going through with this?' he thought Why am I putting myself in danger for people I've never met? People I've been brought up to hate all of my life? Why me, Draco Malfoy, the boy who can have everything he wants, and never has to put himself in danger? Oh yeah, that's right, it's because of him.' Draco sighed, running his hands through his hair. Nobody else could get me to do this, not even Ashley.' He pulled his legs into his body and leaned his head on his knees. Is it really worth it? If I'm caught I'm going to be killed.' But a nagging voice at the back of his gave him that answer. Of course it's worth it, you'll get to be with him, you'll get to be friends with him. Maybe even more if you work at it.' He knew that if he said no to Dumbledore, he and Harry would go back to the way they'd always been, bitter rivals to the end. He stood up and walked over to the edge of the lake, taking his shoes off and letting the water lap at his feet. He didn't know what made him like Harry, but he'd come to the realisation that he did after he actually talked to him the day before. It frightened him a bit, the way his feelings towards the other boy had changed so suddenly and with so little warning, and at first he'd tried to deny them, telling himself that Harry wouldn't even want to be friends with him, let alone anything more, which was what Draco's dreams had lead himself to believe was what Draco wanted. But maybe an hour sitting out in the cold watching a giant squid and thinking of nothing else but Harry did funny things to your mind, because Draco remembered that Harry hadn't shown any signs that he didn't want to be friends with Draco last night, and alot that he did. Draco prided himself on being able to read most people, spending years learning to tell when to stay away from his father must have helped with that, and all the signs that he had picked up from Harry last night had shown that the other boy liked him. He sat back down, leaning against one of the weeping willows that grew near the lake. Ineed to talk to him, I need to at least know how he feels, it would be good to have more than one friend to lean on, Ashley's going to have her fair share of troubles.' As if his thoughts had somehow summoned him he heard movement to his left, and turned to see Harry sitting down next to him.

How do you do that?' Draco asked incredulously

Harry only looked puzzled What?'

Sneak up on me like that, I didn't even hear you until you sat down.' Draco replied

Oh,' said Harry offhandly I learnt to stay quiet, it meant that Dudley couldn't find me to beat me up.'

Next time make some noise, will you' Draco told him.

Sure' Harry replied, he looked like he was smiling but Draco couldn't quite tell in the dark. Umm...I was wondering if I could talk to you' Harry said tentatively

Draco pretended to look shocked What! You didn't just come all the way out here to admire my perfect form?'

Harry laughed Well, now that you say it, that was part of my plan.' he quickly turned serious though That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about though.' Harry took a deep breath and continued This may seem a bit, umm...hasty, we've only really been friends for a day after all, but I really like you and I need to know something. Please don't hate me for this, and please don't let it affect your choice on helping Dumbledore, but I need to...' Harry paused nervously Will you go out with me?'

Draco sat there staring at him, unable to reply. This was the thing that he'd wanted, and Harry wanted the same thing too.

Harry sighed when he didn't reply I'm sorry, I just thought maybe-'

Draco shook himself slightly, he hadn't meant to hurt Harry by not replying, he was just amazed. He shook his head at Harry's apology and grabbed the other boy's wrists, looking searchingly into his eyes. Then he smiled, and instead of replying, he kissed him. Harry didn't respond at first, but when Draco started to move away he did, forcing his tongue into Draco's mouth. Unfortunately for both of them, the tree that they were sitting beneath was right next to the lake, and after a minute of kissing, they both ended up in the lake. The pulled apart quickly and sat up, both laughing, trying to shake the water off themselves like dogs.

Well, that was an interesting first kiss' Draco said laughingly as the walked to the relative safety of a tree further away from the lake.

Harry grinned at him in response How about we try again?' and as Draco leant in he added And this time, no swimming in the lake!'
