*******************************************************
Hogsmeade was packed with wizards and witches, trying desperately to buy half priced off presents. Draco couldn't believe it. He was standing in Hogsmeade with the most gorgeous guy in the world. What made it even better was that this is their first date. He took an excited shuddering breath, and calmed himself down.
"So what should we do first?" Harry asked.
"Up to you."
"Christmas shopping!"
"At the last minute?"
"Well," Harry said. "I didn't have time last Hogsmeade's trip."
"Alright then."
They stopped by a bookstore and got Hermione a new Arithmancy textbook. Later it was Honeydukes, where Harry bought large quantities of candy for Ron. Draco bought a bit of candy for Crabbe and Goyle, to shut them up when he returns back to Hogwarts. After buying 2 bottles of butterbeer from the 3 Broomsticks, Draco and Harry continued walking around. The only present Harry hasn't gotten yet was Draco's. He wasn't quite sure what to get him. He doesn't know Draco well enough to know what he likes. It would be better if Harry got Draco's present secretly. Wanting to know what kind of things Draco is into, Harry decided to casually ask.
"How about those Quidditch uniforms we saw? Awesome weren't they?"
"They were okay."
"Just okay?'
"They weren't all that good, the fabric was too rough."
"Then what would you prefer?"
"I prefer soft things."
"Soft?" Harry asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I don't know why I'm so fascinated by soft things."
They continued walking, only stopping to admire things from outside a shop. As they reached a fascinating Clothing store, 3 20-year-old witches pushed passed them to get inside the story, making Harry trip and fall. Draco helped Harry up and glared after the 3 girls.
"Hold on," Draco said following the 3 girls inside.
Harry knew there was going to be trouble so he quickly followed Draco inside.
Draco tapped one of the girl's shoulders, but she ignored him and continued talking to her friends. Draco tapped harder again, but she still would not turn around. This pissed Draco off. As much as he hates his father, he's still a Malfoy, and Malfoy's don't get pushed around, nor do they get ignored. Draco had enough and pushed the girl, causing her to fall. Her 2 other friends helped her up and glared angrily at him.
"What's your problem?" the girl on the left snapped. "She just got out of St. Mungo's."
The girl pointed to the fell.
"Does that mean you have to push Harry? Just to get inside a clothing store? I don't care if that bitch went to St. Mungo's or not, she didn't have to push him," Draco snapped back.
"Well maybe you should have moved!"
"Well maybe you should have asked us to."
"You annoying brat! Aren't you supposed to be in school?"
"That's none of your business, apologize right now."
"No," the girl said stubbornly, starting to walk away with her friends.
Draco reached out to stop her, but another hand grabbed his arm. He turned around facing a furious looking man, the same age as the 3 girls.
"What do you think your doing?" the man growled.
The man scared Harry, but Draco was still glaring madly. He yanked his arm out of the man's grip. They were the same height, but the man seemed to be stronger.
"That moron over there pushed my boyfriend," Draco said.
The man opened his mouth to reply but stopped. His eyes travelled to Harry's scar and then back to Draco.
"T-That's Harry Potter!" the man exclaimed loudly. "And your Lucius Malfoy's son!"
Harry paled, knowing it won't take long for the man to put 2 and 2 together. With his eyes wide, he continued.
"Harry Potter and a Malfoy are dating!"
The 3 girls peered at Harry and Draco curiously.
"Their gay?" one of them spoke in a hushed voice.
"Does the Daily Prophet know?" the one that pushed Harry asked.
"Don't think so," another one replied shocked.
"So you and you," the man spluttered pointing at Draco and Harry, who remained silent. "Your together!"
"I uh-," Harry stammered.
"No, just friends," Draco cut in.
"Oh really? Then why did you call him your boyfriend?" the man asked not believing it.
"Come on, how can you call Harry Potter gay?"
"Oh! Oh yeah. Truly sorry about that Harry Potter!" the man apologized. "Come on Nina let's go. Once again sorry about that."
"It's okay?" Harry said.
Nina and her two other friends followed the man out of the store.
"That was odd," Harry said.
"I guess," Draco shrugged starting to look around.
There was a question forming in Harry's mind that he wanted to ask Draco, but he didn't know if he should. If he asks, it'll seem like he's trying to rush things. But when Draco mentioned Harry as his boyfriend, Harry felt so complete. Then he said that they were only friends. He didn't know which one to believe. Draco was examining a glass case with jewellery inside. One piece caught his eye. It was a crystal figurine of a horse, standing on its hind legs. One of its eyes had a green emerald, and the other a blue diamond.
"Ah, you wouldn't want that one," a woman appeared behind him.
"Why not?" Draco asked. "Who are you?"
"You are a Malfoy no?" the woman smiled showing off her perfect set of white teeth. She had a slight French accent.
"So?" Draco said. "Who are you?"
"A friend of your mother's."
"I see," Draco said looking around for Harry.
"He left ze shop."
"Oh."
Draco turned back to the horse figurine.
"You own this shop?" Draco asked.
"Yes."
"I would like to buy this then."
The women smiled again, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, its' perfect for Harry."
"Harry?" the woman's smile faltered. "Harry Potter?"
"Uh-"
"I saw a familiar glint about him. So, you would like to buy it?"
"Yes."
"Excellent! Let's talk price!"
*******************************************************
"Harry!" Draco panted catching up to Harry, who was looking through the Honeydukes window.
Harry turned around and smiled at Draco.
"Where were you?" Harry asked.
"Buying mother a present," Draco lied returning the smile.
"I saw a really neat restaurant across the clothing store we were in. Want to go have dinner there?"
"Wouldn't anyone notice we've been gone for so long though?"
"Only Ron knows."
"WHAT?" Draco exclaimed. "You told him we were going on a date? What if he tells Granger, and Granger tells someone else. And if that little piece of information gets into one of those Patil twin's hands, the whole school will know about in a few seconds!"
"Ron wouldn't tell anyone, plus Hermione has no clue and she doesn't gossip."
"Fine" Draco said, not wanting to get Harry mad. "So did you get my present yet?"
Harry smiled slyly, "Maybe."
"What did you get me?" Draco said excitedly.
"You actually think I would tell you?"
Draco frowned, "no."
"Exactly!" Harry said.
Draco pouted cutely making Harry laugh.
"Not funny," Draco continued to pout.
Harry smiled and took a hold of Draco's hands.
"Your so cute," Harry whispered.
"I know. I'm dead sexy," Draco said.
"How about me?"
"Sure."
"Draco!"
"I said sure!"
Harry rolled his eyes. This continued on until they stopped in front of a fancy looking restaurant.
"Hungry?" Draco asked.
"Oh yeah," Harry said.
They both entered the restaurant, and immediately the smell of food clogged their noses. A tall wizard with sandy blond hair bowed. Every waitress and waiter was all wearing the same emerald green robes, with a white strip across the sleeves.
"Just for 2?" the man asked.
"Yeah," Draco said.
"Follow me," the man said in the same toneless voice.
He led them over to a table near a window. Draco and Harry sat down looking around. A table next to theirs had a women and man, looking at them strangely. Harry ignored it and looked over the menu. The women began to start chattering with the man, still looking at Draco and Harry. Draco made sure Harry was still reading the menu, and turned to the table next to theirs. He glared at the couple, making them retreat their stares.
"Anything good on the menu?" Draco asked turning back to Harry.
"Err," Harry said flipping through the pages. "I don't know what any of these things are."
Draco picked up his own menu and gave it a quick glance.
"Are you ready to order?" the same waiter came back with a notepad and quill.
"You like noodles don't you?" Draco asked Harry.
Harry nodded.
"2 WizFromage," Draco said.
"Anything to drink?"
"A coke," Harry said.
"Pardon me? Coke?" the man looked confused.
"Oh.........err I'll just have water."
"Your finest wine for me," Draco said.
The waiter nodded and picked up the menus, before walking away.
"Finest wine?" Harry asked. "You know how much that'll cost? And since when did you start drinking wine?"
"I'm a Malfoy! Just because I'm not living in the Manor, doesn't mean I can't dine like one. Plus, wine is good! I started drinking it ever since I was 12, only for special occasions though," Draco explained. "And what the hell is coke?"
"Muggle drink," Harry said.
"Ah I see," Draco said disapprovingly.
"So what's WizFromage?"
"My favourite food."
"I'll keep that in mind, but what exactly is it?"
"You mean you've never had it?" Draco asked.
"No."
"Then you're in for a surprise!"
Minutes later the waiter came back with 2 plates. He set it down in front of Draco and Harry. Another waiter came by and poured Draco some wine. The 2 waiters lift up the lid, bowed and walked away again. Harry stared at the plate of spaghetti in front of him. Melted cheese was spread over the noodles, and also some sort of white sauce to top it off. A piece of bread, already buttered, lay next to the noodles. The meal looked quite delicious.
Draco picked up a fork and started eating. Harry poked at the noodles, making sure nothing is alive hidden beneath the noodles. Finally, Harry twirled a few strands of noodle and shoved it in his mouth. As delicious as the meal looked, it tasted great too. Harry immediately began to slurp down more, enjoying it greatly. Draco stared at Harry, watching as Harry continued to slurp down more noodles. Harry took notice that Draco was watching him and looked up.
"Yeah?" Harry asked shoving more noodles in his mouth.
"Is this how you usually eat?"
"Err huh," Harry mumbled with his mouth full.
Draco smirked, "Never learned table manners?"
"Why round Ir wanna learn dat?"
"So people around you can enjoy a decent mean, without needing to you hear slurp down your food?"
Harry shrugged and continued eating, slurping louder on purpose. Draco sighed and continued as well. Harry finished first, and wiped his mouth with a napkin. While drinking water, he noticed Draco was still eating. Draco carefully twirled the noodles neatly on his fork, and took small bites, not even a bit of sauce could be seen on his face.
"Is that how you eat home?" Harry asked.
"Mmhmm," Draco nodded, swallowing. "At Hogwarts too."
Draco settled his fork down and wiped his mouth. He looked at Harry, smiling.
"Time for gift exchange!" Draco said.
Draco reached into his cloak pockets, and got out Harry's present. Harry got out a bag from under the table. Leaning across the table, Harry kissed Draco lightly on the cheek.
"Happy Christmas," Harry smiled warmly and handed him the bag. "I couldn't wrap it, the shop owner wouldn't let me."
Draco smiled back and reached into the bag. He pulled out a white fluffy scarf. At each end of the scarf were 2 white tigers, looking up at Draco with their blue eyes. Draco put the scarf around his neck, and felt warm all of a sudden.
"It has a warming spell," Harry explained.
"Thank you, I love it," Draco smiled. "Now for yours."
Draco handed Harry the present, and watched Harry's face lit up, as he tore off the wrapping paper. Harry settled the beautiful crystal figurine on his palm, admiring it. Something clicked together in Harry's mind. Prongs.........the figurine looked awfully like a stag. Harry wondered how he had spent Christmas was his parents. Did he even get to spend Christmas with them? If so, he had no memory whatsoever about it. It must have been a really long time ago. It would have been nice to cherish the memory though. Draco peered at Harry worried.
"You okay?" Draco asked. "You don't like it?"
"I love it, I really do!"
"Then why do you look so depressed?"
It's Christmas, Harry did not want to ruin the holiday by telling Draco how badly he missed his parents. He might even end up thinking he's a wimp; Harry didn't want that. He was the Boy-Who-Lived for God's sake.
"Nah, I'm alright. No one has ever gotten me something as beautiful as this before," Harry said.
"Well then I'm the first, aren't I special?"
"Very," Harry laughed.
"Let me pay and we'll head back to Hogwarts," Draco said.
"Let you pay? I don't think so!"
"Why not?"
"I'm the one that asked you out, therefore, I should be the one paying."
"Well I'm the one that ordered the food."
"So?"
"So I'm paying."
"No your not."
"Oh yes I am!"
"N-," Harry was cut off by Draco sealing his lips over his.
Harry smiled into the kiss. Before it could get anymore passionate, Draco broke it off.
"I'm paying," Draco, said smirking.
"Whatever you say," Harry sighed dreamily.
*******************************************************
"Draco?" Harry said through the silence.
"Hmm?"
"I liked hanging out with you today."
"I liked hanging out with you too. We should go on another date some other time."
"Before you leave?" Harry asked hopefully.
Draco smiled sadly, remembering he's going to be leaving soon.
"Hey, I'll owl you alright?" Harry said, reaching for Draco's hand, squeezing it reassuringly. "Plus you'll come back."
"Yeah, I guess. Stupid Voldemort," Draco muttered, followed by a string of curses.
Harry laughed at all the things Draco called the Dark Lord. They were walking through the hallway, towards the Gryffindor tower. Once in a while, they had to duck behind a statue or deserted classroom when a teacher walked by.
"Draco can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Are we, well you know? Boyfriends?"
Harry could feel himself blushing.
"Do you want to be?"
"Do you?"
They stopped in front of the Fat Lady (who was snoring loudly in her frame). Draco turned to Harry so they were facing each other.
"You have no idea how badly I wanted to be with you," Draco said softly, cupping Harry's cheek in one hand.
"So it's a yes then?" Harry asked.
Draco smiled, nodding. They leaned towards each other, captured in a kiss. Tongues probed against Draco's lips, and soon they both were exploring their lover's mouths. Draco pulled Harry closer to him, hands running down his spine. Draco pulled away but to lean in again, nipping gently at Harry's lower lip. Harry closed his eyes and ran his hand through Draco's hair. Draco sucked on Harry's lip and looked into Harry's eyes. A green whirlpool looked lustfully back, as if protesting to never stop. Draco would gladly continue, but at that moment, the portrait swung open revealing Ron and Hermione.
"Harry wouldn't have just run away without telling us Ron. Your such a bad liar," Hermione said irritably.
"Shut up," Ron snapped.
"And I oh-," Hermione stopped and stared wide-eyed at Draco and Harry. "Oh dear."
Hermione covered her eyes and rushed back into the common room, with Ron following after her.
Harry smiled apologetically at Draco, and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Trouble calls," Harry said. "Goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Sweet dreams, and have fun explaining it to Mudblood."
Harry gave him a glare.
"Oh I mean.........Granger."
Harry sent Draco a smile and rushed after his 2 best friends.
A/N: Phew! That took me a long time to type it out. Well, that was there first date! Hope you guys enjoyed reading it. Remember to review, and tell me your opinions about this chapter!

Harry closed his eyes and ran his hand through Draco's hair. Draco sucked on Harry's lip and looked into Harry's eyes. A green whirlpool looked lustfully back, as if protesting to never stop. Draco would gladly continue, but at that moment, the portrait swung open revealing Ron and Hermione.
"Harry wouldn't have just run away without telling us Ron. Your such a bad liar," Hermione said irritably.
"Shut up," Ron snapped.
"And I oh-," Hermione stopped and stared wide-eyed at Draco and Harry. "Oh dear."
Hermione covered her eyes and rushed back into the common room, with Ron following after her.
Harry smiled apologetically at Draco, and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Trouble calls," Harry said. "Goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Sweet dreams, and have fun explaining it to Mudblood."
Harry gave him a glare.
"Oh I mean.........Granger."
Harry sent Draco a smile and rushed after his 2 best friends.
