Chapter : 7

Aftermath

"A night to remember" Draco Malfoy chucked softly to himself. Well it

certainly will be now.

He inhaled deeply at the cigerette between his fingers and after a few

seconds blew

the soft smoke at the dark blue sky above him. The floor was pressed

harshly

against his back ashis soft hair mingled with the dust on it,

occasionally

stirring with the wind. Draco could here soft music coming in from

inside

along with drunken yells and laughter. Taking another deep drag of the

smoke

Draco touched a soft hand to his abused eye, where his all time

best-friend

had left a mark. Malfoy scowled when he realised it would probably

leave a

bruise for a few days.

"Stupid fucking jealous asshole" he said to his cigerette. "What the

fuck

is his

problem anyway?" He looked expectantly at his tobacco friend as he

held it

to his face, waiting for it to agree with him.

"You better agree or it's a horrible crushing death for you."

"Am I interupting something?" said a highly amused voice. Draco looked

toward

the boy, squinting against the harsh light that poured through the

doorway

against which a boy, Nah, man stood, his hands crossed across his

chest.

He didnt wait for an answer and strolled into the balcony closing the

door

behind him. Walking slowly, his boots echoing agaisnt the stone floor,

he

came and sat down beside the blond.

"What are you doing out here?" he asked slowly his hand pushing

through the

mop of unruly hair.

Draco pulled himself up to a sitting position and put the cigerette to

his

lips again.

"Getting some freash air."

"Quite a bruise you got there" Harry said pointing at his eye.

Draco scowled defensovely. "Thanks for the reminder"

Potter laughed at the antics of the Slytherin and gently ran his

fingers

against his cheek. Draco stared back at him, his expression blank.

Harry

caressed his soft skin and smiled.

"You had quite a fight out there. Blaise seemed pretty pissed when he

left."

Draco shrugged. "He'll be fine." He said missing the soft touch as

Harry

retracted his hand slowly. "We've been getting into fights forever. He

cools

down after a week and we go back to being best friends."

Harry chuckled. "That's wierd."

"Yeah well, we're pretty close."

"How long you two been frineds?"

"Forever" Draco said immidiately. "His father is one of Lucius'

fuck-buddies"

Harry gave out a short laugh. "Urg, Nothing's more digusting than two

old

people fucking." Draco smirked in response. "Does your mom know?"

"Narcissa? Of course. You can't get anything past her. She also know

that

he fucks ..Crabbe senior, Goyle senior."

"Urg, who would wanna fuck those idiots?"

"Aparently my father. Then there's our gardener, mail man, milk boy,

butler."

"Now you're just lying." Harry said breaking into fits of laughter.

Draco

looked at him his eyes twinkling.

"I'm so serious." he lifted his fingers to count off the names. "Then

there's McNair, a fovourite of my father's since he screams so much,

then

there's Roudolf or watever his name is you know that Lestrange. Then

there's

Avery who from what I've heard is extremely Kinky. Then there's

Mulciber who

Lucius keeps cause he begs so much. And then Kakar...Kakro....Karog.

Damn

why do people have such hard names?" he slurred laying back down again.

"You know the Gotie guy who had yellow teeth. Well before he was

captured,

he used to be Lucius' fuck buddy too."

Harry smiled and lay down beside Malfoy taking the ciggerette from his

hand

and inhaled deeply.

"You're so drunk Malfoy." He whispered while Draco continued to

mutter.

"I forgot some one. Very important too. ...Oh yeah SNAPE."

"Urg, That's disgusting." Harry said screwing up his face.

"If you think that's disgusting, imagine walking in on them when they

are...."

"OKAY OKAY, YOU JUST COMPLETELY FUCKED UP MY MIND MALFOY."

Draco chuckled. "I know I was only 8 then. Imagine that." he laughed

softly at the memory and then fell silent. Harry could feel the heat

radiating off Draco's body at his side. It was oddly comfortably,

peaceful,

just lying here in the dim light and listening to the calm breathing of

Draco Malfoy.

Harry smiled and turned his face toward him. The pale boy stared back

at

himwith silver globes. Lifting his hand slowly, Harry meant it to lay

down

on the boy's face. A sudden image crossed his mind. An image of slits

of

eyes, purely red with hatred. Harsh laughter filled his ears and his

hand

haulted. . He looked away from the pale boy and sat up. He hurriedly

got to

his feet and was about to walk away. But he was stopped. A pale hand

clenched his wrist and Harry looked down at the Boy that had plagued

his

thoughts for years. First due to hatred, now due to something stronger

and

more consuming. But he couldnt. He just couldn't.

"Don't go," Came a wisper. "please don't go."
