Harry and Draco spent the rest of the afternoon eating lunch and chatting it up in the Three Broomsticks, and then walking around outside. It had been a beautiful day, and their conversations had been enlightening and fun.
Now it was starting to get dark and chilly. Draco frowned.
"Harry, I think we should probably get back to Hogwarts. I don't want any teachers thinking that I've kidnapped you."
Harry smiled. "All right; Besides, I wouldn't want to keep you out any longer. The great Draco Malfoy is shivering."
"Am not!" Draco said defensively, but stopped arguing when his teeth began to chatter.
"No wonder! It feels like it's about to rain. I mean, it's so windy." Harry said, looking up into the darkened stormy gray sky.
As if the gods had heard Harry's words, it began raining lightly. Within a few seconds, the rain had increased to a down-pour.
"Damn! Harry, follow me!" Draco yelled as he started running. Harry didn't answer, but followed after, hoping that wherever Draco was taking them was warm and dry.
When they stopped, they were standing under the awning of a small inn.
"Draco."
"It's an inn. We won't be able to get back to Hogwarts without being soaked, so I figured that we could stay here for the night. At least it'll be dry."
Eager to get out of the storm, Harry nodded and followed Draco into the inn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The inn was warm and cozy inside, with a large fire place and several soft looking over stuffed chairs placed in front of it. It wasn't the nicest inn, but it had a safe and comforting quality about it that made both of the boys instantly sleepy and content.
"Hello boys." Draco and Harry turned to face a middle-aged woman dressed in deep blue robes. "Eager to get out of the storm, eh? Well, let me tell you! I heard that it's going to rain like this through the night, complete with thunder, lighting, and hail! Imagine that!"
"We need two rooms." Harry said, smiling at the friendly inn-keeper.
"Oh, I'm so, so, sorry boys. Because of the storm, it's been a busy night, and I fear that I only have one room left; a single."
Harry frowned and looked over to his companion. Draco sighed and shrugged his shoulders, but then nodded.
"We'll take it." Harry said, handing the inn-keeper some money.
The old inn-keepers eyes twinkled. "All right then, lads. I'll show you to your room, then."
The woman took the boys up a short flight of stairs, and then to the left. She stopped in front of a door, and handed Harry a small bronze key.
"If you need anything, I'll be down stairs." The boys nodded, and entered the room.
Draco observed the room, looking skeptically at the single bed in the center of the room. He watched Harry disappear into the bathroom, only to appear seconds later holding two towels. He tossed one to Draco, and began to dry himself off.
"I guess we'll head back to Hogwarts early tomorrow morning." Draco said quietly, while toweling himself off. Harry nodded, and continued to dry himself off.
An uncomfortable silence settled over the room. Everything seemed to be too still; too quiet. The only sounds were of rustling clothing and the heavy pounding of rain on the roof and against the windows.
At the same moment, green and gray eyes moved to look at the single bed.
"I'll take the floor." Harry said finally, breaking the silence.
"No! I mean, it's ok. We can share the bed."
Harry raised an eyebrow. "No, that's ok. I'll sleep on the floor."
"The floor is hard, and it's cold in this room. You'll get sick. Besides, it's just for tonight." Harry nodded mutely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night, both boys, now stripped down to just their boxers, were lying in bed, pretending to be asleep.
Draco was sure that the blush on his cheeks was consuming his whole body.
'Damn him for being so....nice.' Draco thought to himself. The feeling of Harry's back practically pressed against his was driving him mad! His back was so---warm. Draco could feel himself slipping farther and farther into sleep. He felt so safe, curled up next to Harry, that he was able to ignore that fluttering feeling in his stomach. Besides, only trouble could result from silly crushes. Draco murmured something sleepily, and drifted into sleep.
On the other side of the bed, Harry was having a much harder time getting to sleep. 'Why, why, why, why?!' Harry thought to himself morosely. 'Stuck in a bed with Draco! Why do I have to like him? Why, why, why?!' The raven haired boy froze, as Draco turned over to sleepily rest his head against Harry's naked back.
Harry sighed. 'Too bad he's asleep.' With that thought, Harry forced his eyes shut. He would get some sleep if it killed him.
Boy, was it EVER going to be a long night!
