On the morning after everyone returned from the small vacation Harry awoke and dressed. He went into Draco's room and looked at his sleeping beauty. He climbed into bed next to him. "Draco, sweetie, get up." Draco groaned a little but when he opened his eyes and small Harry he smiled up at him.
"Good morning." Draco said and kissed Harry. They laid in bed for a few minutes tangled in each others arms before Draco slipped off to take a shower and dress. Harry grabbed his books and went down for breakfast. He found a beaming Hermione sitting next to a pale looking Ron.
"What's wrong with him?" Harry asked.
"I'm fine." Ron mumbled.
"He's nervous because we saw the signs for the dance and I told him that he has to go." Hermione teased.
"Harry, mate, you know I hate dances." Ron complained. "You know what happened last time."
"Yeah, you ignored your date because you were too mad about Hermione being there with Viktor."
"Viktor?! So you're calling him that now too!?"
"That's his name isn't it, Ron?"
"This is ridiculous." Hermione mumbled.
When they were done eating the three friends and Ginny walked to the lake. "I think it's going to snow." Ginny whispered.
"I love snow." another voice came. The friends turned around and saw Draco standing there.
"What are you doing here." Ron snapped.
"I was just taking a walk. I'm entitled to that you know." Draco snapped back.
"Why don't we all go visit Hagrid, you too Draco." Harry butted in.
"You've made up with him finally?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, he's totally fine with everything." Harry answered, and motioned Draco towards him.
"Great! I don't have to lie anymore!" Hermione skipped around.
Harry laced his fingers with Draco's and started walking towards Hagrid's hut.
"Doesn't anyone care about my opinion?!" Ron screamed from behind them.
They turned around. Hermione was trying to pull Ron along with them all but he was rooted on the spot. "I'm not going anywhere with that prick." Ron yelled.
"I'll go, Harry." Draco said and tried to release him self from Harry's hand, but Harry held on tighter. "Draco, please don't go. If Ron's going to be an asshole let him. There's only so much I can put up with. I don't care if he'd my best friend or not, I love you, and if he can't see that..." Draco kissed Harry to silence him.
"He's your friend Harry. You have to fix this." Draco walked away.
Ginny, who had been watching the couple kiss, looked away quickly as Harry turned towards his friends. The anger rose in his face as he ran towards Ron. He tackled him so he couldn't get away; he would have to listen to everything he was going to say.
"RON! YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND, BUT RIGHT NOW I CAN'T EVEN STAND TO TALK TO YOU. YOU'RE MAKING THIS INTO FOURTH YEAR ALL OVER AGAIN WHEN WE STOPPED TALKING FOR THE DUMBEST REASON ON EARTH! I LOVE DRACO AND IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THAT THEN I'M AFRAID I CAN'T HANDLE YOU. WHEN YOU'RE READY TO BE A TRUE BEST FRIEND AGAIN, I'LL BE WAITING."
He stood up and walked towards the Quidditch pitch. He summoned his broom once he got there and mounted it. A good fly was just what he needed to clear his mind and sort everything out. He loved Ron, as a friend, but that could only go so far. If Ron was going to ruin his relationship with Draco... he just couldn't risk that. For the first time in his life he knew what love actually felt like. He couldn't let anyone take that away from him.
Draco watched from behind a tree as Harry floated around the sky. He didn't want Harry to see him, because he didn't want him to stop. He loved watching his raven haired lover fly. The wind whipped his locks and robes around as he soared perfectly in the air.
He had saw Harry tackle Ron. He didn't want Harry to leave his friends for him. It was different for Draco. The only friend of his he really cared about was Blaise, who was already okay with them being together. Harry, however, had the greatest friends anyone could ask for. Draco never wanted to hurt the Golden Trio. He couldn't help his feelings. He wanted and needed to be with Harry.
After a few hours of watching Harry fly, his stomach started to rumble, and he headed back to the castle for lunch. Harry didn't show up for Lunch. Draco was a little worried about him. He looked over at the Gryffindor table one last time before leaving, and saw Ron sitting alone. Ginny and Hermione weren't even with him. He was very pale, almost ghostly, and angry and sad at the same time.
Draco fought off the urge to want to go and cheer Ron up. At first he thought it might help him, but then he figured Ron would just flip out and cause a big scene. So instead, he walked back to his common room. He heard voices coming from Harry's bedroom.
He knocked on the door, but it wasn't completely shot for it gently opened. Harry, Hermione, and Ginny were sitting around on the floor talking. "Hey, sweetie, come in." Harry said when he saw Draco. He walked in and laid down on the floor with his head in Harry's lap.
"I'm really sorry about earlier. I really was just taking a walk." he apologized.
"It's fine. I needed to stand up to him sooner of later. He'll come around soon." Harry bent down and kissing him.
Ginny giggled. "Are you two going to the dance?"
"Might as well." Harry said.
"Yeah, the theme was my idea anyway." Draco bragged.
"Like... together?" Ginny giggled again.
Draco and Harry exchanged looks. "Well... why not?" Harry said.
"What about Ron?" Draco asked.
Hermione took a deep sigh. "He's going. I'll make him, and he's going to dance! But that's besides the point... I'll keep him under control if he tries to flip out or anything. I don't want anyone having anymore rows!"
Two week later Harry stood in front of the bath room mirror. Draco had been standing outside the door and pounding on it for ten minutes. "Are you done in there YET!?" he screamed. Harry smiled, straightened his tie, and brushed off his dress robes. "Come in."
Draco walked in and smiled at Harry. "It's about time." he said.
"How do I look?"
"Smashing."
"That's it? Not sexy or anything?" Harry frowned.
"Nothing personal, it's a little hard for anyone to look sexy covered in layers of clothes and robes."
"Oh drat. Okay hurry up and get ready, it's going to start soon!"
"Me, hurry?! You were in here for two hours! I'm already dressed, I just need to fix my hair."
"Your hair is fine."
"You know how I am about my hair..."
Harry rolled his eyes and left the bathroom. He went to put on his dress shoes and try yet again to flatten his hair. Draco walked out five minutes later and held out his arm for Harry. "Oh come on, how corny can you get?" Harry laughed.
"Corny? Where I come from, you know... Earth... we call this Romantic."
Harry smiled and locked his arm with Draco's. They began the walk to the Great Hall.
When they arrived everything looked almost the same as at the Yule Ball. The only difference was that all of the years were allowed and there weren't any foreigners. Instead of the Weird Sisters, an orchestra was playing off to the side.
The couple walked through the great hall, causing a lot of whispers around them. People stared at them to whole time, but they kept going. Harry spotted Hagrid chatting with Madam Maxime at the teacher's table and told Draco to visit them with him.
"Hello Hagrid." They said together.
"Hi boys! Yah remember Olympe of course?"
"Good evening Madam Maxime." They said together again.
"Oh, isn't that cute! It's like you two can read each others minds!" she said in a strong French accent. Harry and Draco blushed and said goodbye. They walked over to a table where Ginny and Blaise were sitting together.
"Are you two together or something?" Draco asked them.
"Us!? Merlin, no!" She looked almost offended. "I'm just waiting for Dean.
"Yeah, I'm here with Pansy." Blaise said.
Draco and Harry said with the two and started talking. Harry looked all around for a sign of Ron and Hermione. He hoped Hermione didn't let Ron back down. He hoped that night would be the night he could finally prove to Ron that Draco was trust worthy.
"Hi Harry!" Colin had walked up to him.
"Hey Colin, glad to see you're back to normal." He was his old blonde haired, blue eyed self again.
"Hi Harry!" It was Dennis, Colin's younger brother.
"Oh, yippy, a family reunion." Draco said sarcastically under his breath.
Harry sat talking with the Creevy for a few more minutes until their dates came and swept them away. There was still no sign of Ron or Hermione and Harry started to get a little worried. "Let's go for a walk." Draco whispered in his ear.
They stood and walked outside. In the courtyard there was an ice statue of a very beautiful Phoenix with semi-liquid ice flowing out of it's mouth. There were chairs and buffets in various parts of the area, and there were white candles floating in different pretty patterns.
The music was just as loud out there as inside. "Dance with me Harry." Draco whispered and pulled Harry in close. Harry rested his head on Draco's shoulder and moved in sync with him. He closed his eyes and listened to the music. He felt so right in Draco's arms. It seemed like nothing bad could ever happen.
"Draco," he said looking up at the blonde. "I love you with all of my heart, you know that right?" Draco broke away from Harry and looked down at his boyfriend. "Of course I know that Harry. I love you too baby, and I always will... no matter what, I promise you. No matter who doesn't like it, and no matter what anybody says. We know the truth."
Their lips came together and they started making out and dancing again. "H-ha-Harry." Ron walked around the corner. He was still as pale as earlier, but he wasn't angry anymore. He just looked more sad. "Ron!" Harry broke away from Draco and walked over to his friend.
"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have been listening to you guys. B-but, I'm glad that I did. I'm so sorry Harry." Ron was holding back tears. "You two are really serious about this, and if I ever want my best friend back I'm going to have to get over it." Harry hugged Ron.
"It's just that... most of my life I've been put down by the Malfoys. My whole family has. So have you and Hermione. His father tried to kill you Harry! They treated Dobby like dung! I thought he was using you, Harry. I thought he was just going to throw you to the Death Eaters as soon as he could. I didn't want you to get hurt."
Ron walked over to Draco and extended his hand. "I'm sorry. I've come to my senses. You have my blessing to be with Harry, and... I'd like to be your friend." Draco shook his hand and then pulled him into a hug. Harry walked over to Draco and kissed him.
"Okay, that's still a little weird though, so I'll be on my way." Ron turned red and walked back to the Dance. Harry and Draco continued to Dance outside. Harry saw Ron and Hermione dancing beautifully inside. Everything really was going to be okay. He was in the arms of the love of his life, and he had all of his friend back. Life was picking up again...
A/N: Yay! Okay that sounds like a happy ending...but it's not over! yay! Harry finally stood up to Ron, and it worked! Yay for them! Okay and to this "Alyssa" person or what ever... if you're not going to read my story then please leave me alone. I know it's spelled wrong, but I'm not going to change it! To those of you who like my story, I hate to say that there might only be one more chapter... but in a few weeks I might start a sequel! I can't give away too many details right now though... I hope you liked it! Review! Thanx!
