This story may contain some shonen-ai in future chapters but I haven't written the whole thing yet, so I'm not sure. There will be shonen-ai and maybe some yaoi in the sequel though, so look out for that in the future if you like boyXboy lovin! If you don't then go away!
Review Response:
Cavaradossi: I'm glad you like the story and I don't care if
you use the plot idea as long as you don't copy it event for event or anything
^_^
Lo26: Very happy that you like the story so far. Maybe if it
grows more in popularity, then I will think more about trying to have it
translated. For now, however, I am just concentrating on trying to get
it all written.
Thank you to all my reviewers! I will love you all forever!
I'd also like to take this time to state and maybe clear up a few things. First off, Harry does not wear glasses as a kid (in this story at least). I didn't specify that previously so I just thought I'd say that now. Secondly, in this chapter, Harry does have another nightmare about Dudley beating him up, even though I didn't write about it, it does happen. There will be one more dream, but you'll just have to wait to see what it's about. Thirdly, Harry will not grow up until the last chapter (8). However, I am seriously thinking of doing a squeal to CS which will deal more with Harry and Draco's "adult" relationship. If you guys are interested, please let me know so that I know whether or not to get started planning it! Anywayz, on with the story!

Childhood Simplicity
Draco pushed his hair out
of his eyes for the umpteenth time that day as he walked quickly down the
corridor to his room. He growled aggravatedly as his hair simply fell into
his face again and he remembered how Harry had forced him, with much fussing,
pouting and whining, not to slick his hair back today. His thoughts were
brought to a halt, however, as he stopped in front of the entrance to his
room. "Vomit Beans."
"Oh, you look quite handsome
with your hair down like that, popit. You should wear it like that more
often."
"Yeah, yeah," Draco said
to the witch in the portrait as he quickly stepped into the room. It didn't
take him two seconds to spot Harry rolling around on the carpet covered
floor. "Harry, what on earth do you think you're doing?" Draco placed his
hands on his hips, trying to look displeased with the boy.
Harry jumped up off the
floor in a flash, a grin stretched from ear to ear across his face. "Woof,
Woof!" He raised his hands up to his chest in a sort of begging notion
and panted happily, his tongue hanging out as he did so. He looked like
a little black puppy.
Draco sighed and rolled
his eyes but had to smile at the boy's playful antics. He strode quickly
into the bathroom, coming back with a brush in hand. He attempted to tame
the wild locks of ebony hair on Harry's head. Draco then straightened Harry's
tiny robes and made sure that the boy's shoes were tied. They exited the
room and walked toward the front doors of the school, Harry's little hand
grasping Draco's tightly.
* * *
"Wow, Draky! Look at all
those big birdies flying around up there!" Harry exclaimed, eyes wide as
he pointed toward the sky.
"Those aren't birds, silly,
they're people on broom sticks. That's the Slytherin Quidditch team up
there," Draco explained proudly as he lead Harry up into the Slytherin
stands. "Now, you sit here while I go practice."
"Wait, you're leaving?"
Harry clutched at Draco's robes desperately.
"yeah, but you'll be able
to see me from here, and I really need to practice. Don't worry, it won't
take long." Draco kissed the boy reassuringly on the forehead before making
his way to the locker room to change and get his broom.
Harry sat in his seat, kicking his legs and fiddling with his robes and pouting about the fact that Draco had left him there. He didn't like being up in the cold, hard stands alone, without his Draky. He tried not to think about it and instead watched the people flying all around in the air. He wondered how they could us brooms to fly like that. Aunt Petunia made him use brooms all the time to clean but he had never once seen one fly. As Harry was thinking, he saw Draco rise into the air on his own broomstick. The boy jumped up from his seat and stared in awe a Draco's graceful, yet strong form, and marveled at how beautiful he looked with the wind flowing through his hair and robes. Harry squealed with joy when Draco looked his way and waved. Harry waved both hands back enthusiastically and decided that maybe sitting up here and watching his Draky wouldn't be so bad after all.
Practice ended soon enough
and it wasn't long before Harry was going on and on to Draco about how
amazing it all was. "Wow, Draky! It was so cool seeing you flying around
and all those big balls were trying to hit you but you were just too fast!
And it was so awesome when you dived down and caught that pretty golden
ball! I was so scared! I thought you were gonna crash! Man, I wish I could
fly like that."
Draco had to smile at Harry's
enthusiasm. It was funny watching the boy's eyes light up with excitement
as he waved his arms all around in the air as he talked. "Well, would you
like to try it?"
Harry looked at Draco in
shock. "R-r-really? I could really f-fly?"
"Sure." Draco sat on his
broom and offered his hand to Harry. When the boy took it, Draco smiled
reassuringly and pulled him up onto the broom so that he sat securely in
front of him. Once he made sure that Harry was safely in place, he kicked
hard against the ground and they shot off into the sky. He heard Harry
gasp and felt him lean farther back into him as they soared higher and
higher into the sky. Finally, he stopped and began to slowly circle the
field. "So, what do you think?"
"Wow! It's so amazing, but
it's scary, too." Harry gazed at the sky around him and the ground below.
"I can't believe we're actually flying..."
Draco grinned at the irony
of the situation. Here was the star seeker of Hogwarts making a huge deal
about flying.
They flew until the sun began to go down and the air started to become chilled. Harry didn't want to stop but Draco insisted that they had to. Once Draco had changed back into his school robes and put his broom safely away, he and Harry went inside for a nice, warm dinner.
* * *
Draco was sure that the
whole school could surely hear Harry's screams and high pitched battle
crys as the boy ran about the room in nothing but his cartoon character-covered
underwear. Draco was no more decently dressed seeing as he was in just
his silky, black boxers.
Flashback:
After they had eaten dinner,
Draco had made sure that both him and Harry had gotten a nice, warm bath
so as not to catch a cold. After he had dried them both off, Harry had
insisted that they play "hunter and lion," announcing that he was the hunter
which left Draco with the role of the lion. Draco had barely gotten the
boy into his underwear before he darted off, yelling at Draco to put his
on so that they could start. Once he had done so, Harry explained to him
that he was to crawl around and growl and try to eat him, while he was
to try and kill him. Draco tried to protest but the little hunter had already
run to hide behind one of the armchairs sitting by the fire.
End Flashback
"Roar!" Draco announced his
presence as he snuck up behind Harry. He pounced upon his adorable little
prey and began to blow raspberries on the boy's sensitive tummy.
"No, no, no!...Don't eat
me...Nooooo!" Harry screamed in between fits of giggling, as he tried his
hardest to wiggle out of his attacker's grasp.
After a bit, Draco let Harry
slip away. The boy instantly ran to hide in the bathroom and Draco leapt
onto the bed, pretending to groom himself. He soon felt eyes on him and
looked to see Harry peeking out from behind the bathroom doorway at him.
He grinned when the boy quickly ducked back into his hiding spot after
being discovered.
Draco became a bit suspicious
when he didn't even hear a peep out of Harry after a few minutes. He thought
of going on the prowl for the boy once again but, much to his surprise,
discovered that he didn't have to.
Harry was on top of him
so fast, the older boy barely had time to think. It seemed the boy had
snuck up to the bed while draco wasn't looking and had picked the opportune
moment the attack. "Bang, Bang! You're dead!" Harry announced as he shot
the lion with his imaginary gun as he sat a top Draco's chest.
Draco pressed his hands
to his chest dramatically, moaning and groaning until finally he rolled
his eyes back and closed his eye lids. A performance certainly worthy of
an Oscar.
Harry giggled at Draco's
performance and clapped his hands. "That was fun, Draky. Now we can go
to bed." When Draco didn't respond, or move for that matter, Harry shook
him a bit, thinking that he must still be playing. "Draky, wake up. We're
done playing now." When Draco, who was having a hard time keeping a straight
face, still didn't get up, the slightly panicked young boy shook him harder,
trying to keep back the tears stinging his eyes. "Draky? Draky, get up."
Suddenly and without warning,
Draco's eyes flew open and he rolled over, pinning Harry underneath him
and began to mercilessly tickle him. When he noticed that Harry wasn't
laughing he stopped. He gasped when he realized that the boy was actually
crying. "Harry! What's wrong? I didn't hurt you or anything, did I?"
"N-no, but I th-thought
that you were r-realy d-d-dead," Harry explained, tears rolling down his
rosy cheeks as he sobbed and hiccupped.
"Ah, Harry, I'm sorry. I
was just pretending to be dead, but I'm okay, see?"
"Y-you scared me."
"I'm sorry, Harry. I'll
never scare you like that again," Draco said as he began to gently wipe
Harry's tears away.
"Promise?"
"Promise." Draco kissed the
boy on the forehead and Harry kissed him on the cheek to seal their promise.
Well, how was that? The whole hunter/lion think was supposed to be the
cute part that I made you wait for....It didn't turn out all that cute
and fluffy though, sorry. Review and Harry will give you kisses!!!
