The Planning...

Draco opened his eyes and lay quietly listening to someone singing softly, sitting up he saw Harry on his floor cushion. He had headphones on and a pencil in his hand. Green eyes looked up at him and smiled lightly at him. The blonde smiled back, relieved that Harry was a great deal calmer then before.

Harry took the headphones off so they laid around his neck. "Nice nap?" He asked with a teasing smile.

"Sorry I fell asleep." Draco said with a yawn and Harry laughed. "How long did I sleep for?" He moved over to the floor cushion where he sat down and placed Harry on his lap.

"Only for a little while, about 20 minutes."

"What are you drawing?" Harry showed him the sketch, it was a series of bold black lines that nevertheless made up Draco's face and shoulder perfectly, there were no colors drawn in yet expect for the eyes, which Harry depicted the gray-stormy eyes flawlessly. "Beautiful." Draco breathed.

They shared a kiss that Harry pulled away from first. "I'm sorry about earlier." He was meeting Draco's eyes but down at the sketch pad.

"You have nothing to be sorry about."

"But-" He started off but Draco cut in before he could utter another word.

"Harry you have every right to bitch and yell" Harry snorted softly. "Anyone in your position would. So no more apologizing ok?"

"How'd did I get so lucky to have you?" He wondered out loud. Draco just hugged him tighter.

"Hey you know what I realized." Harry said after a moment of comfortable silence passed.

"What? That you're a great kisser." Draco asked raising an eyebrow.

"Don't be a tease. No I realized that we have two weeks till holiday vacation." Harry told him while leaning against his chest.

"Are you going to be staying here or going to the states?" Draco asked casually, really hoping that his boyfriend would be staying here. He didn't like it when Harry had to go to the States and would love it if they could spend their first Christmas together.

"I really don't know yet. But I was actually thinking about something for awhile."

"And that would be?"

"Well my mum's birthday is on December 28, so I'm thinking of throwing her a surprise birthday party."

"That's sound cool." Draco said wondering where Harry was taking this.

"And that would mean we would hold Christmas here." Harry concluded happily, smiling meaningfully at Draco who was beaming back.

"That would be perfect!" It would mean Harry wouldn't be leaving him for the holidays and they could spend it together and not to mention that he was willing to help in throwing the party if it meant more time with Harry.

"Ssh.. We don't want my mum finding out earlier then she needs too, now do we?" Harry asked with a sly smile.

"Of course not love." Draco captured Harry's lips into another kiss.


It was hard returning to school not because he was afraid of anymore hearts in his locker, not that he wanted human hearts in his locker, but it was more of what the students were whispering every time he passed down a hallway or entered a classroom. Even the teachers were looking at him with pity and if there was one thing he couldn't stand was pity from anyone.

It reminded him too much of how it was at his old school after returning from the ordeal with the first kidnapping, since it was in the papers and news. The whispering, the rumors, the looks of pity of anyone who asked him if he was doing all right and if he wanted to talk about it. It got to the point where he asked his parents if he could just get home-schooling, that way he wouldn't have to put up with it anymore.

School was basically a nightmare on that sunny but cold Monday. He breathed a sigh of relief when the last bell rang and he made his way to his new locker. Headmaster Dumbledore thought it best if he got a different one in another part of the school. He just finishing with getting his things when he noticed Ron coming his way. It was a little awkward at first they had their first class together in the morning, Harry breaking down in front of him, but Ron was really cool about it and didn't mention it once. Something he was really grateful for.

"Hey Harry what are you doing now?" Ron asked as he approached him.

"Planning on going home why?" He stuffed his Pre-cal book in his bag and tried to remember if he had any homework in Chemistry.

"Well I was wondering if you would come to the mall with me to pick out a present for someone." The redhead said nonchalantly, which made Harry look up from reaching his chem. book.

"Someone?" He raised an inky, black eyebrow grinning. "And, prey tell who is this someone?"

"Just a friend." Ron said blushing a bit.

If Harry remembered correctly, Hermione's birthday was in 4 days and he just knew the someone Ron spoke of was she. When he asked, Ron turned bright red, almost matching his hair color.

"Yes if you must know."

"You wouldn't have a crush on her now would you?" Harry asked still grinning madly.

Tripping over his tongue, he replied. "Are you mad mate, why would I like her? She's just a really good friend." Harry didn't think he could get any redder then he already was.

"Right so I guess you wouldn't care that she told me that she thought you were cute." Harry stood up gracefully and closed his locker.

"Hermione said that?" Ron asked brightly and Harry couldn't help but laugh.

"Sorry mate but no."

"Don't play like that Harry." Ron said looking crestfallen.

"Sorry, but she does like you." He added good-naturedly.

"Really?" He asked chaotically hopefully.

"You two are so blind." Harry rolled his eyes.

"What, I didn't catch that."

"Nothing." He smiled at his best friend.

"Hey Harry!" Both boys turned around to see Draco coming towards them.

"Hey Draco, what's up?" They couldn't hug or anything cause they were still in school and students around. The both of them didn't hide their relationship, their closest friends knowing about them but they didn't flaunt it either, neither of them wanted people talking about them.

"Hi Ron, how are you?" Draco surprised Ron by addressing him.

"Fine Draco and you?"

"I'm all right." He smiled at the redhead before turning to Harry. "Good news."

"What?" The three of them were walking down the stairs, other students were rushing out as well, happy that school was over.

"My dad said he would be happy to provide one of the hotel ballrooms for the party."

Harry beamed at Draco and he wished that he could have thanked him with a kiss. "That's great! I already talked to dad and Sirius. They love the idea, Sirius is going to talk to Remus, dad to my grandparents and I'm calling Louis tonight."

"So everything's going to plan." Draco finished, Harry nodded but Ron was staring at them confused.

"What's going?" He finally asked.

"Tell you on the way to the mall." They stepped out of the building.


Harry entered the flat, smelling the food cooking in the kitchen and sure enough he looked into the kitchen to find Lily in there already started on dinner. Dropping his bags on the couch he made his way into the kitchen and gave his mum a kiss on the cheek. They were back on good terms with each other, neither of them really could stay mad each other very long, even if they never forgot.

"Had fun at the mall?" Lily asked stirring the almost cooked rice.

Harry groaned while rolling his eyes. "I thought you were bad, but then I went with Ron and let's just say you now whole the second place instead of first."

"Why?" She asked amused.

"He likes Hermione and her birthday is in a few days, so I was basically dragged to every store in the mall in search for the perfect gift." Harry tasted the sauce on the meat, and had his hand swatted away by his mum.

"Been there." Lily smiled reminiscencing in her mind. "My friend Maria was in love with Sirius and dragged me with her to every store to find the perfect gift for him."

"Did Sirius take her out?"

"Yeah for about two weeks and then it was a new girl." Lily smirked.

"Sirius will be a bachelor for life." And his mum nodded in agreement.


"Hey Louis am I bothering you?" Harry fell back on his bed, his homework spread around him.

It was 8:42pm and Lily was taking a shower, so he decided it was the perfect time to call his brother and tell him about the party. It wasn't too late in New York and luckily he caught his brother.

"No what do you need kiddo?"

"Must everyone call me kiddo?" Harry asked only half-annoyed.

"Ok baby I won't call you kiddo."

"You're impossible."

"Just serving my duty as an older brother." Louis told him proudly over the phone.

Harry chuckled. "Well listen for a bit and then you can bug me all you want."

"I'm all ears." And Harry told him about the plan and what he had set up so far.

"Wow, she's never going to see this coming." Louis said excitedly. "I'll personally have the camera ready." One of his brother's hobbies was taking pictures, he was pretty good at it but Harry had always preferred painting, more personal.

"I'm glad you like it, so you can make it for sure?"

"Nothing would stop me from being there." Louis said definitely.

"Excellent." Harry smiled.

"Harry-" The way Louis said his name made Harry a bit anxious. "Dad has been hinting that something happen between you and that boyfriend of yours."

"He has.." Harry tried to sound calm but failed terribly.

"Yes he has and I'm thinking that you and-"

"Coming mum! Sorry Lou but mum's calling bye." He said all in one breath and hung up before his brother could get a word out.

"Dad..." Harry said narrowing his eyes and picked up his homework again.


"What are you doing now?"

"Nothing why?"

"Well I'm babysitting my sisters."

"You want me to come over?"

"Yes please!"

"I'll be there in 15."

"I love you!"

Harry laughed and hung up the phone.


Harry rang the doorbell and waited for Draco to open the door, it was Saturday and his mum was at home so he was able to take the car over to Draco's house. When Draco did open the door Harry broke out into peals of laughter while the blonde glared at him.

"Are you done yet?" Draco asked sarcastically.

"I'm sorry." Harry was still laughing. "But what happen to your hair?"

Draco's hair which was normally in perfect order and stylishly done was now made into little pigtails and braids, Harry counted about five but there could be more since he was only staring at the front. He was wearing sweats and white t-shirt that had odd colors on them... Harry suspected they were either food or paint, probably both.

"My sisters!" Draco said pulled him inside and closing the door behind him.

"You know this is the first time that I've ever seen you so... untidy. No perfect hair or clothes." Harry laugh quietly.

Draco made a face. "And you won't ever see me like this again." They were going up the stairs.

"Oh I don't know, I like you like this." Harry hugged him; Draco just smiled and shook his head.

"Milla! Malia! Where are you!?"

"You have to find us!" The child's voice rang out followed by the other little girl's laughter.

"Ready to hunt?" Draco turned to him.

"Let's go."


A/n- No drama or action but like my best friend told me, its leading you up to the climax and trust me you'll love what I have planned out and then you'll finally find out who the Mystery guy is! Two more chapters that's all you have to wait for! YOU CAN MAKE IT I KNOW YOU CAN!!

This story is sadly coming to an end! About 3 to 4 chapters left and then that's it. It's been great writing and the support has been the best!

ALL MY REVIEWERS ROCK!

By the way I have a new Draco/Harry story up called 'Infatuations'. It's more steamy and sexy. Deals with jealousy and backstabbing. Rated R for swearing and stuff (SEX). It's also written in the first person point of view, so it's new for me. Go check it out please.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Much love!

And I'm out!

BratPrincess!
