Disclaimer & Warning: I do not, I repeat, do not own any of the characters in the Harry Potter series. If I did, the books would be way different and defiantly not best sellers.
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!!!
