Hi! waves frantically I love getting reviews so please send me more!
A few people have read my story. some of them may be a little sceptical about the Harry/Draco thing but hey I like it.
And thank you to aries amastacia for the flying hours big kiss Oh and thank you to Kees. And yes I am your friend that's what I said right?
Oh and just as a warning this chapter will be kinda weird. Just like me :D
Oh and I forgot to put a disclaimer in the first two so you know the drill I don't own anything because they all came out of the great mind we call J.K. Rowling.
Oh and one more thing there is more than one gay pairing in this so if you are offended by that bugger off. I mean that in the nicest possible smiles in the most innocent way possible.
Last time --- They had just ordered and Harry and James were over getting a closer look at the crabs when some one tapped Harry on the shoulder "hello again"
Harry turned and came face to face with none other than Draco from the plane
"hey! what are you doing here?" Harry asked "checking out the marine life dude" Draco answered smiling a little harder than his face could take Harry laughed VERY flirtatiously James gave him a horrified look. Harry threw a look at him as well something along the lines of if-you-embarrass-me-I'll-tear-you-limb-from- limb "so umm... if your not you know... doing anything on Sunday you want to come with to the city I'll show you the sights if you like?" Draco proposed "Are you asking me out?" Harry teased "duh" James let out before he could stop himself Draco turned around to face James "and you are?" he asked snidely James put his hand to shake. Draco didn't take it "I'm lover-boy over there's father" Draco's expression changed immediately "I'm so so so sorry sir I didn't realise in that case pleased to meet you " Draco took his hand and shook it rather firmly (close to dislocating his shoulder) "it's just in this neighbourhood if your too nice you get kicked in the balls-"Draco clamped his hand over his mouth in realisation of what he just said "I don't usually talk like that. I'm just ... so sorry" he finished rather lamely."
Harry was shaking in silent laugher and James also looked rather amused
"It's okay I know how stressful it can be to 'meet the parents' and all that......." Draco tuned out and turned to Harry who was this (holds up fingers indicating a very small space) close to rolling around on the floor with laughter. "you bastard! ... Why didn't you tell me that your father was standing right behind me ?" Draco punched harry on the arm "I'm sorry ......... You're just too funny ......... I I I'm s so s sorry s sir "Harry did an exaggerated imitation of Draco "piss off" Even Draco had started laughing now "So do you want come to the city with me?" Draco asked suddenly serious "of course I do .... You still got my number?" Draco fake searched his pockets to cover up the fact that, until he had seen Harry and had put the number in his pocket, it hadn't left his hands. Draco picked it out and nodded
"great! call me tomorrow?" "yeah sure"
Harry looked over Maddy was frantically trying to get Harry's attention to indicate that their food had arrived. "I gotta go but call me." With that he walked off. When he got over there Maddy exclaimed "oh my god that was that guy from the plane wasn't it? Is he like stalking you or something? " "he just came here because he was eating here or something and ......" Harry bit into a dim sim "and what? Come on tell me" Maddy pushed, Harry finished chewing and continued "he asked me out for Sunday" "no way! he works fast doesn't he?"
They continued their first meal in Australia with no other mention of Draco or the date.
The new Potter house was awoken at 11 o clock the next morning by the telephone ringing "someone please get that blasted contraption" James yelled down the stairs "I'll get it dad" Harry answered groggily Harry picked up the phone upside down and put it to his ear "hello?" he didn't hear anything so he took the phone away from his ear and looked at it. Harry turned the phone the right way round "hello?" "hello. took you long enough didn't it ?" "Sorry it's early and I'm tired ... hey wait who is this?" "It's Draco... From the plane?" "Yeah Yeah I remember but why are you calling so early?" "it's not early." "it's not early? It's not early? It's bloody eleven o clock in the morning! what ever in the world made you think that 11 o clock wasn't early?" "Uumm the fact that I've been up since seven!" "ooh you're one of those people" "what people? "one of those...shudder morning people" there was laughter on the other end of the line "what's so bad about being a morning person. You get more out of your days" "Riiight! What's the point in getting more out of your days if you have get more out of your days all by yourself?" "that's why I took up surfing so I could get more out of my days all by myself" "oh so you are a surfer I figured that. You say dude ALOT" "Oh yeah I do that when I'm nervous." "you were nervous about talking to me?" Harry smiled to himself "Of course I was nervous about talking to you! You're fucking hot" "aww thank you that means so much coming from a shudder morning person because since you've been up for quite a while you've probably got everything in proportion. But to actually become a shudder morning person you're probably not all there if you know what I mean. No offence or anything." "none taken.... Anyway what I was calling about was our date tommorrow." "our date is tomorrow?" "yeah. Sunday right?" "yeah but... ohh the time difference! .. Anyway you were saying?"
Maddy and Lily had come into the room on their way to breakfast but had stopped to listen to Harry's conversation. Harry motioned for them to leave but neither budged.
"right. Yes. What I was calling about was I need your address so I can pick you up."
"you have a car?"
Lily's perked up at the mention of cars for some unknown reason
"Yeah!... so the address?" "right yeah it's..."
Harry motioned for Lily to tell him the address she handed him a piece of paper with 30 Stanley street written on it.
"... 30 Stanley street Footscray ." "great! I'll pick you up at one then since you aren't a morning person?" "yeah that's great" "bye" "yeah bye"
As Harry hung up the phone Maddy and Lily pounced "so does he have a car ?" "When is the date" "what sort of car does he have?" "was he nervous about talking to you?" "what make of car?" That was the third question about Draco's car and Lily's children were looking at her strangely again. "what?" "you like cars huh?" "yes we've established that" Lily answered somewhat annoyed that he was not answering her many car questions. "so?" "nothing." But they continued to look at her strangely
The rest of that day was fairly uneventful
As the sun rose on Sunday morning a rather miraculous occasion was afoot. Harry was already up and dressed AND he had managed to get Maddie out of bed ready to go shopping for a new outfit to wear on the date with Draco. Maddie had protested to being dragged out of bed at 7 in the morning by saying that the shops wouldn't even be open 'til ten any way, but Harry wasn't backing down so Maddie sat staring into her cereal lifelessly as Harry gushed about how hot Draco was, basically a reversal of positions.
The brother and sister team left the house at nine leaving a note to their parents stating they were out shopping for Harry's date. They walked to Footscray station and caught a city loop train. At ten they got off at Flinders Street station and ventured for the first time into the concrete jungle that was Melbourne. After two hours of non- stop shopping they got back onto a train to Footscray weighed down by about twenty bags from assorted shops and boutiques.
At twelve thirty Harry was ready for his date. He was decked out in: black and red tartan hipster pants he had found in this great shop called out of the closet, a black top with white writing announcing to the world that reality was just the illusion created by the lack of drugs in our society, black Chuck Taylor All Star High Tops and a black back pack holding his keys, wallet, mobile phone and black Jacket. So he sat watching this 'Aussie rules' football he had heard so much about and frankly he didn't get it. There was a knock at the door and Maddie answered. Draco was standing on the doorstep looking particularly hot in Maddie's opinion, he was wearing: a red t-shirt with genius scrawled over the front in black writing, black jeans and red Chuck Taylor All Star High Tops. They matched perfectly. "hey" Draco said from the doorway "I'm here to pick up Harry" "yeah I know. Come in." Maddie gestured "thanks" "Harry is in the living room. Third door on the left." Draco walked down the hall and went into the room. Harry was sitting on the black leather couch, face screwed up in concentration watching what appeared to be a Richmond Vs Carlton match. "hey" Draco said harry looked up at the disruption "oh hey." "you ready?" "yep you?" "well I'm here aren't I?" they walked out the front door together after saying a quick goodbye to Harry's parents "by the way Harry. You look really hot" Harry smiled "thanks."
Draco's car was a 1950s style black Cadillac. Harry thought it was hot!
On the way to the city in the car they listened to a band called Modest Mouse.
They parked the car in a three storey car-park and made their way to little Bourke St. Draco stopped in front of a mismatched little restaurant called The Hide-Away Harry immediately fell in love with it. Draco led him inside and led him over to a rather large and loud group of people who immediately fell silent when Draco stopped in front of their table.
"every one this is Harry" Draco announced there was a huge amount of noise just after Harry was introduced. Harry didn't hear much of it but the bits he did hear were "hi harry", "ooh he's cute" and "Draco why didn't you bring him earlier?" to which Draco replied "he only got into the country a couple of days ago" Harry a little shocked just stood there with his mouth open until Draco nudged him and whispered "say hello" Harry got over his shock smiled and said "hi! And you all are?" which may have sounded a little rude to some people but you've got to remember that he only got into the country a few days ago and had just been introduced to half the amount of people in his old town. So Draco introduced them all in turn "okay this Blaise, Ron, Hermione, Seamus, Neville, Luna, Parvati, Padma, Greg, Vince, Justin, Susan, Hannah, Dean, Ginny, Pansy, Lavender and Lawson." You can see why Harry was a little intimidated. While Draco was catching his breath after that mouthful Harry found a seat and plopped into it Draco sat down next to him. Everyone was still silent and looking at Harry. Draco spoke up "stop looking at him as if he's incredibly attractive... I already know that." There was a collective snap as the group shut their mouths. Then the boy Draco introduced as Lawson started laughing, everyone turned their attention to him but he just kept on laughing then one by one everyone else started laughing. Harry visibly relaxed at their laughter. Harry took this time to examine the boy who started this madness, Lawson. He was Asian looking either Chinese or Vietnamese and had amazing died bright green hair spiked in all directions, brilliantly sparkling purple eyes... hold on purple eyes? Probably contacts. And the most adorable way of screwing his nose up when he laughed. In all he was hot!. If Harry wasn't already smitten with Draco he would have seriously considered going out with Lawson. As the laughter died down the guy who Draco had introduced as Ron spoke up "so Harry mate follow Aussie rule at all?" Harry hesitated and considered lying and saying he was a massive fan but thought better of it. "I watched a little this morning but I plead ignorance." Harry answered with a smile Ron laughed "don't worry mate I'll get you up to speed." Six girls (Pansy, Hermione, Ginny, Padma, Parvati and Lavender) all rolled their eyes as the rest of the group with the exception of Draco got into a animated discussion about who was gonna win the Grand final this year. Draco turned to Harry and smiled "so? What do you think?" Harry nodded vigorously "I like! I like! In fact I think I'm in love with them all! And this place! It's amazing!" Draco put on a hurt expression which was kinda ruined by the massive smile threatening to come through and said "you've forgotten me already? Really I'm hurt!" Harry swatted at him playfully "Aww you two are so cute together" Hermione said Harry blushed furiously but Draco looked unfazed She turned to Draco "I swear if I wasn't a lesbian I'd try and get him" "lucky you are then 'cause I wouldn't have given him up without a fight" Draco smirked. "ooh I'd hate to be at the receiving end of one of your punches" she mock cowered "yes you would" Draco said not the least bit fazed by her mocking Hermione laughed softly and gave Harry a look, Harry smiled back then he was ambushed by Parvati and Padma who looked a lot like twins which a good observation on Harry's part considering that they were twins. "so Harry where you from?" "Draco didn't tell you?" "no" they chorused "oh. I'm from England!" "what part?" before Harry could answer Blaise stood up "in honour of the new arrival to our country namely Harry I propose we make a toast" Everyone laughed but Harry figured this was a common occurrence because they all raised their glasses all the same "to Harry" they chorused then they all drank but because they were all only in year eleven which would make the average age 17 they were all drinking soft drink (A/N soda for all you non-Australians) Harry laughed along with everyone else.
Then the conversation picked up again and Harry was staring at them all in awe of how they could just pick up random conversations and continue them. The afternoon continued a lot like that.
When Harry got home at 6pm Lily, James and Maddie were watching a show called The Bill and getting very home sick because the show was set in England. Harry sat down on the floor in front of James next to Maddie. "why are we watching this?" he whispered to Maddie not taking her eyes away from the screen she answered "I don't know, but shh Luke's about to tell Kerry that he's gay and that marrying her was a mistake" Harry rolled his eyes but shut up anyway and watched content with how his day had turned out.
What did ya think? I liked it but then again it's my story so I guess if I didn't like it I wouldn't have been writing it. Please review because it's so very lonely in the psychiatric ward of the hospital I'm at! Nah just kidding! But really review? Please? I'll be your best friend? Hehe!
