~!*~!*~!*~!*~*!

I just kissed Harry. Harry Potter, Potter of Harry. Woa, wait, that didn't make sense. I, Draco Malfoy, just kissed Harry Potter...

Draco was unable of holding back the grin that was stretching across his face. As he pushed himself through the crowds of people in the hallway Draco got several odd glances from students. He couldn't help but smile and laugh, nothing could go wrong. Draco ran his tongue over his bottom lip, imagining over and over what happened only a few minutes ago.

~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*

Harry sat at dinner, intently staring at his slowly melting ice- cream. Harry's face was blank and emotionless as he tried to fight off thoughts of Draco. Draco and Hermione seemed to be having a conversation about the dangers of old potions. Ron occasionally remarking through mouthfuls of food.

Draco had been sitting with them at meals for a while now. Harry was still shocked at how Ron had managed to put up with Draco's presence. The two still fought every day , but about trivial things and always the fights ended with one of the boys just refusing to go on with the argument. Who would have guessed that Draco would ever appear to be in acquaintance with Harry Potter and friends. Defiantly not Harry. He had to inwardly admit though it was better. Better than having another enemy on a list that was already pretty long. But earlier this morning Draco had...

No, don't think about it. Harry tried to clear his mind of any thoughts about the kiss. Draco hasn't said anything about it, so why am I thinking about it so much...

~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*

Draco sat considering the situation he was in. Hermione and Ron now both knew about what was going on with Harry on his way of discovering. Hermione had stopped him in the hall way earlier today not long after the kiss and he broken down and told her. This situation, which he had been prepared to face as a personal struggle, was now on its way of becoming everyday knowledge. Suddenly Draco felt incredibly uncomfortable. A sense of panic flashed through him. Why am I becoming to dependant on these people? Have I changed so much?

Draco stood up from the table, quickly excusing himself from the conversation he was having with Hermione before walking out of the Great Hall. I need to get my thoughts clear, I need this all to make sense. Draco leaned against the wall of the hall way he was hurrying through, closing his eyes as the cold brick pressed against his cheek. A breeze passed through the corridor causing Draco to shiver. Draco's fingers grasped at the hems of his sleeves, pulling them over his knuckles.

The school was finally beginning to get cooler. Things seemed to finally be settling down. Draco ran the back of his sleeve across his forehead, enjoying the sensation and trying to fight off an oncoming headache.

It was still hard to believe he had kissed Harry. After the instant bliss one gets after doing something they've wanted to do and planned for, comes the inescapable self doubt trip. What if it wasn't what Harry wanted? Is he disgusted with me? Is he going around school telling everyone pretty boy Malfoy is a faggot? Draco tried to quiet these thoughts of worst case scenarios. No, Harry wasn't cruel and teasing. Harry isn't a Malfoy. "Neither am I...", Draco whispered, a smirk flashing across his face, his eyes filled with pain and sadness.

Draco's thoughts were cut off as students suddenly exited the Great Hall, heading back up to their houses. Draco Pressed himself back against the wall, avoiding glances from students as they passed by. Draco turned to head off to his dorm only to freeze in his tracks. Emerald eyes found his. Draco felt completely engulfed in those eyes. Those eyes could control him, make him do anything. Harry was walking with the rest of the Gryffindors. Harry quickly looked away, his gaze falling to the floor.

Draco held his breath as the group walked by, Hermione giving him a quick nod goodnight. Draco nodded mutely, watching the backs of the students walk away. Draco exhaled slowly, cursing himself for being such a dork around Harry.

Draco was halfway to the Slytherin dungeons before he noticed the foot steps following him. He continued walking, listening to the person trailing behind him. He could hear the person's unsteady pace and the occasional frustrated sigh. Draco stopped abruptly, standing up straight in the darkness.

"yes?", Draco called out...

~!*~!*~!*~!*

Harry smacked his forehead with his open palm, sighing thinking about the stupidity of this. Why didn't I just turn around when I had the chance? Harry could barely see ahead of him in the sudden darkness. Draco's figure stood up ahead, looking blindly down the hallway at him. Note to self Harry, never become a stalker.

"Draco..."

"Harry?", Draco asked, taking a step in his direction. Harry clutched the side of his robes, his hands shaking suddenly. Why am I so nervous? "Harry, what are you doing here?" Draco walked through the darkness to him, finally getting close enough for the two boys to see each other clearly.

"I was... I was just wondering.", Harry coughed into his hand, struggling to find the right words. "Draco... was it a dream, or my imagination?" Seeing recognition flash in Draco eyes, Harry fought to keep off the confusion. "What's going on Draco? Tell me...", Harry growled, taking a step back from Draco. Feelings of self betrayal surfacing in him. His own dreams...

"Harry, I'm sorry. I don't know why this had to happen...", Draco struggled to explain his actions. Suddenly he was silenced as Harry pressed his lips against Draco's. Harry's mind swarmed in confusion, but he mostly just wanted to kiss Draco now, and forever. Maybe he didn't want everything to make sense for once. Harry closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around the stunned Draco. Maybe I want something that isn't perfect. Something new, something different...

~!*~!*~!*~!*~!*

Draco pulled out of his state of shock as he felt Harry's arms wrap around his waist. Draco studied Harry's face as he returned the kiss. Harry's features had taken on a focused look. Draco sighed against Harry's mouth, running his tongue over the other boy's lips. Harry parted his lips, leaning against Draco. Draco placed his fingers in Harry's hair, pushing his tongue into Harry's mouth.

Draco moaned softly as Harry's grip tightened around him, his tongue returning Draco's administrations. Harry opened his eyes, the emerald pools staring into Draco's. His eyes were filled with emotions Draco was unable to read. How we wanted to be able to read Harry, to understand him. Draco gasped , pulling away from the kiss. Draco wrapped his other arm around Harry, cradling him against him. Harry rested his head against Draco's chest. Draco stood frozen, enjoying the sensation of the feeling of Harry against his body, Harry's warmth.

Suddenly Harry took a step back, causing Draco to mumble in disapproval.

"Good night Draco..", Harry whispered, his gaze staring beyond him.

"Good night Harry...", Draco stammered, his body shivering not only from the cold castle. But also wanting to have Harry's warmth against him again, having Harry's body fit against him just so. Harry smiled shyly at him before turning around and walking unsteadily off into the darkness.

Draco smiled to himself, hoping this was the way Harry always planned on saying good night ...

Harry stumbled into bed still fully clothed. Harry licked across his lips imagining the way Draco tasted. Harry ran his hand through his hair, tracing over wear Draco's hand had been.

"Where have you been Harry?", Ron asked sleepily from the bed next to him. Harry was sure he heard a hint of sarcasm in the other boy's voice.

"Just wandering around..."

"Sure, Harry, sure..."
