~Chapter 11~
~Who told you!?~
Saturday came and Harry woke up around 9am. He smiled when he remembered what day it was, and how much he looked forward to surprising Draco. Nothing special happened at either lunch or breakfast. A few knowing looks were exchanged by Harry and Blaise, but no words were spoken. Harry and told Hermione and Damien about Draco's birthday, after swearing them to secrecy. He had to tell them, or else they would wonder why the two boys weren't going to Hogsmead with them. After lunch, Harry pulled Draco aside.
They kissed each other, and Harry asked;
"Will you go with me to Hogsmead today?"
"Sure I will, but why do you ask? We've gone together all weekend the last months, so I thought it had become a regular arrangement by now." Draco had a happy, but confused look on his face.
"Well. I don't know," Harry lied and felt a sting of worry that his Draco would get suspicious, but pushed it away. He was doing it for a greater good. "I just felt like I should today. Ask, that is."
"Okay. I understand." Draco smiled.
"Can we meet here at about six o'clock? I have a few things I need to do before we go."
"Sure. I'll be here. We don't have to be back at the castle until midnight anyway so." Draco smiled and put his arms around Harry's neck and kissed him deeply.
"I got to go now, luv, but I'll be back at six." Harry turned around and headed for the staircases up to the owlery. "By the way," he said and grinned at the blonde over his shoulder. He turned and walked backwards. "Wear your midnight-blue robes. They look so good on you." Before Draco could say anything, Harry had disappeared up the stairs.
Harry smiled to himself after he had left Draco. 'I caught him a little by surprise there, but it'll make him wear the robes.' Harry sighed lightly. 'And they look so good on him.' When he arrived at the owlery, he walked over to Hedwig.
"Hello, my dear," he said and patted her on the head. She hooted as a greeting and nipped at his arm. Harry took out a piece of parchment and a self-inking quill from his bag.
"You're going to Hogsmead today, Hedwig, to 'Adrianna's' behind 'Olivander's'." He fastened a note to her leg. She hooted once, spread her wings and flew out of the open window. He went back down the stairs and headed for the Gryffindor tower. When he got there he walked up to his dormitory to fetch some of the homework he had been given the past week, went back down to the common room, and settled in one of the chairs by the fire place. Harry had just finished reading through the chapter Professor Snape had told them that they would be covering the following week, when Hedwig came gliding through the window. She landed on top of his four poster bed and hooted softly at Harry.
"I'm coming," he said and walked across the floor. Hedwig put out her leg so he could remove the note that was attached to it. He unfolded it and reads it out loud.
"To Mr. Harry Potter We have reserved a table for two in your name at six thirty PM today, the 7th. December.
Yours truly Martin Young 'Adrianna's Restaurant'"
He folded it back together, and sat down on his bed and took out the quill and some parchment again.
"You have one more trip to make today, sweetie," he said while he wrote. "This time to 'Ruby's Jewellery'. I've already paid. You just have to pick up a parcel for me and fly it back here. Then you can take the rest of the day off." Harry stroked the owl's soft feathers and fastened the note to her leg. She hooted again and flew back out the window she came in through. She wasn't gone long. Harry had just gotten time to write ten lines on his history of magick's essay when the white owl flew into the room. This time, she was carrying a parcel wrapped with green paper and silver ribbons, the Slytherin colours.
"Good girl, Hedwig," he said and gave her an owl treat from a bag in his trunk. "Now, you can go back to the owlery and relax.
She nibbled at his index finger and flew away. When Hedwig left, he finished his essay that took about one hour. Then, he took a quick shower and put on a pair of black robes with a vague green pattern on them. The pattern was trees and snakes. Harry had bought them at Diagon Alley just before he started fifth year. He had thought that they were quite Slytherin- ish, but he liked them anyway. Actually, he thought that their Slytherin look was the reason why he liked them. By the time he was finished getting dressed and fixing his hair, it was half an hour left until he had to go and meet Draco, but Harry decided to go down to the Entrance Hall and wait for Draco. So, he took one last look in the mirror, but Draco's gift in a pocket in his robes, and left the Gryffindor Tower. Harry came down to the Entrance Hall about twenty minutes before he was supposed to meet Draco, but the blonde Slytherin was already sitting on a bench, waiting for him. Draco got his feet, and Harry smiled when he saw what his boyfriend was wearing.
"I know you would look amazing in those robes," said Harry and embraced his boyfriend.
"Thank you." Draco's cheeks turned slightly pink. "Hi, by the way."
"Hi." The two boys kissed softly, linked their hands together, and left the Entrance Hall.
They talked mostly about the last Demonic Languages class on their way to Hogsmead.
"I can't believe that Professor Crow actually taught us that spell. I thought us that spell. I thought we were supposed to learn how to vanquish demons in Defence against the Dark Arts."
"I know, but the spell doesn't exactly vanquish the White snakes. It just throws them about forty feet and leaves them petrified for fifteen minutes." Harry imitated being petrified.
"Yeah, but it was still extremely wicked!" Draco laughed and practically skipped down the road.
When they arrived in Hogsmead it was still a half an hour until Harry's reservations, so they window-shopped for a while. Draco went into the pet shop. He didn't look at any of the owls or rats, but walked straight over to a cage in the far corner of the shop. He sat down in front of it and started talking softly to the animal inside.
"Hello Blue. How is my favourite kitty today?!" The big black cat purred and rubbed against the bars of the cage.
"I can't stay for long today. I'm with Harry, you see." The cat's big blue eyes fixed upon Harry for a second. Then, he turned his attention to Drano again. "I'll be back as soon as possible, and then I'll take you home. I can't let you be in this cage any longer. I promise it won't be long." The cat purred again, as though he wanted to say that he understood. "G' bye then, Blue." Drano smiled at the cat and got up and walked out of the shop with Harry three paces behind him.
"I just love that cat." Drano sighed. "So now you know where I went the times I had to 'do something alone' when we have been down here earlier."
Harry nodded.
"My father wouldn't let me have him, you see, but now I'm going to buy him. It's not like I'm going back to the Mansion or anything. So I've decided to free him from his imprisonment."
"I think that would be good for you both. You seem to have a connection, but we'll have to talk about that later. We're running out of time. Forgive me for doing this," said Harry and pulled out his wand. Before Drano got the chance to say anything, Harry had cast a blinding spell on him.
"What!? Harry.? Why?" A tear feel from Draco's eye.
"It's just temporary, D. I have a surprise for you, and this is necessary to not spoil it." Harry wiped the tear from his boyfriend's face. Draco nodded and reached out for Harry's hand through his darkness.
"Come on. It won't be long."
On the way to the restaurant they walked by a flower shop. Harry stopped Draco for a second and a thin lady came out with one long-stemmed blood red rose in her hand. She gave it to Harry, who thanked her and the two boys walked on. About five minutes later they sat at the table in the restaurant. Draco was still blinded, but not for long. Harry put the rose on the table, and took out Draco's gift and his wand. He pointed it at Draco's eyes.
"Finite Incantatum."
Draco blinked at the sudden brightness as his eyesight returned. Then he saw the rose and parcel in front of him.
"Happy birthday, D," said Harry and smiled softly at the blonde.
"Who told you!?" He laughed. "I'm sorry, luv. Thank you. But I still wonder; who told you?"
"A little songbird." Harry tried to look innocent.
"It was Blaise, wasn't it? I should have known. He's such a bloody romantic! But I'll deal with him later." The Slytherin grinned widely. "Can I open that now?" He pointed at the parcel.
"Of course you can!" Harry grinned back.
Draco picked up the rose and breathed in its scent deeply. "How did you know that these roses are my favourite flowers? I've never told anyone that."
"That was just creepy. The way I found out, but I can tell you later. Open your present!"
"Okay okay." Draco raised his hands to show that he surrendered. He picked up the parcel and his long, slender fingers untied the ribbons carefully. "I want to keep it," he said while carefully revealed the box inside the paper. Then he blushed. "I guess Blaise isn't the only romantic in Slytherin, is he?"
"No. You can't deny it now, D." Harry smiled.
Draco folded the paper neatly together, tied the ribbon around it, and put it in his pocket. Then he took a deep breath and opened the box.
"Oh, my god!!!" The blonde boy's hands shook as he took the necklace and wrist-chain out of their container. His eyes filled up with tears when he turned the necklace around and saw the inscription on the back.
It said: 'I love you, D. Your Harry'
"I love you too, Harry. Thank you so much." Then he saw the inscription on the wrist-chain. 'Draco Thomas Malfoy' "You remembered my middle name." Draco smiled.
"Yeah. From the howler. Do you like it?" Harry got up and walked around the table and helped his boyfriend with the neck lace.
Draco pulled Harry's face to his and kissed him. "I love it! I absolutely love it! I've wanted something like this for a very long time. I have to ask you again. How did you know?" He looked very curious.
A waiter approached them just as Harry was going to tell the other boy about the bizarre Divination class.
"Are you ready to order, sir?" The waiter asked Harry.
"Yes. I think we are. What do you want, D? Anything you want."
Draco told the waiter what he wanted and Harry took the same as him.
"Now, I can tell you."
Draco nodded.
"Blaise told me about your birthday four days ago, the very same day that I have Divination." He told the blonde all about the crystal ball and the haze.
"Wow! What a useful premonition!" Draco laughed.
"Yeah. Don't you think?" Harry laughed too.
"But, how did you manage to put this together in just four days?" Draco got that curious look on his face again.
"I got some friends to bend a couple of rules," said Harry secretively and grinned.
"I won't even ask."
Their food arrived, and they ate and talked for a long time. Even though both of them were full when they had finished the first course, Harry still ordered some deep fried banana and vanilla ice cream that they could share for desert.
"Thank you luv. Thank you for this wonderful day." Draco grinned. "Remind me to thank Blaise for telling you, instead of yelling at him."
"Trust me, I will." Harry signalised to the waiter that he wanted the bill, paid it and they left.
The two boys walked hand in hand from the restaurant. They laughed of each other's jokes and stopped to kiss once in a while. They didn't care who saw them. They were in love and proud of it.
When they reached the pet shop that Draco had visited before they went to dinner, Harry stopped.
"Why do you stop here now?" Draco asked.
"Do you want another present?" Harry smiled at his boyfriend, and walked in the door of the shop.
"You don't have to do this Harry. I can buy him myself. I have the money, you know."'
"I know that, D, but I want to. Can you just let me?"
Draco sighed and nodded slightly as Harry went over to the man behind the counter.
"I want the black cat in the corner." He pointed at Blue.
"You want him? The only one he has ever liked is your friend over there." The man looked at Draco.
"Well, that is a good thing, because I'm buying the cat for him. It's his birthday today, you see." Harry grinned.
"Then I have no objections. I care much for all the animals in my shop. So, I just want to make sure that they get good homes. And when I look at the time your friend has spent in this shop just talking to that cat, I know that he will take care of him." The man smiled at the boys and walked over to Blue's cage. "No, by the way, you take him out," he said in Drano's direction. He took out his wand and removed the locking spell on the cage door.
Draco bent down and opened the door. "Hi, my dear. I'm back. You're coming home with me today. Just like I promised." The black cat walked out of the cage and leapt into the blonde's arms. He purred and settled with his head at the base of Drano's neck.
Harry and the man that owned the shop walked over to the counter again.
"How much is the cat?" Harry took out the pouch were he kept his money from a pocket in his robes.
"For a cat like him I usually take 10 Galleons, but a friendship between a pet and its master like the one between the two of them," he nodded in Drano's direction again, "is priceless. Take him down to see me once or twice and that'll be my payment." He looked lovingly at the cat.
"I promise that we will. Thank you!" Harry smiled.
"Your welcome. But please don't tell people that I've given him away. It'll be bad for business."
"I won't tell." Harry dropped his voice. "I won't even tell Draco. He doesn't have to know."
The man just smiled.
"Come on Draco. We have to get back to the castle." Harry took his boyfriend's free hand and walked out of the door. He waved at the owner as they excited the shop.
~ ~ * ~ ~ ~ ~ * ~ ~ ~ ~ * ~ ~
Harry walked Draco all the way to the door into the Slytherin common room that night. He gave the slender blonde a long goodnight-kiss with Blue between them. The cat didn't seem to mind.
"Thank you for everything." Draco's hand moved up to his necklace.
"Your welcome, luv." Harry kissed his boyfriend once more. "Goodnight, Draco."
"Goodnight." Draco smiled, spoke the password to the common room and disappeared through the door.
