Chapter IX Reflections
Harry and Draco shared a past that didn“t help them in their present situation. Dracro had been an insufferable classmate and Harry had hated him for it, but after some moths together Harry knew that his feelings had changed and that scared him. Although Harry was more afraid of the future, his future, he was conscious of his situation; he knew that his expectations of a life would have been null without Draco, but it was the power that Draco had over him what was overwhelming him.
It was as if his life was destined to be in the hands of others. He had thought that once his confrontation with Voldemort was over he would have had finally the control of his life, but that had been a dream.
Harry wasn't angry with Draco, because Draco had been very supporting and caring, bu he still felt uncomfortable in an ambience full of strange customs.
And then the presence of Blaise Zabini had come to revolve even more the anguish he was feeling. Harry hadn't seen Blaise in the last couple of weeks, it seemed like he was very busy with his new job, but Draco did see him everyday and Harry didn't like the idea.
-"Draco?"
-"Yes." Draco closed the book he was reading and looked at Harry. Harry was nervous, but as he had been thinking too much about this conversation he decided to finally asked the question that had been in his thoughts all day.
-"I was wondering if I can go with you to your work." Draco recognised Harry's attempt to look not very interested when he trying to convice him.
-"You'll get bored." And it was true, most of the time Draco had just to do paperwork.
-"You don't want me there, right?" Draco saw how Harry's face started to crumble.
-"Of course I want you to come. I just think you wouln't like to be sitting there doing nothing."
-"Mmmm."
-"What about tomorrow?" Draco had sighed, before asked.
-"Draco, you don't have to... It's fine, I'm fine..." Draco closed the space between them and put his arms around Harry's waist.
-"I really want you to come. It would be good for us, if we started knowing more about each other." Draco pressed his lips in Harry's neck. "And I'm sure it would be a pleasurable experience have you there."
There had been a time when the opportunity of being in the Ministry of Magic would have excited Harry in itself; the idea of all the information and plans that were there would have made him think about the possibilities of knowing about his friends and the situation of the rebels, but that night Harry thought not even once in them, his thoughts had been centred in the man that lay next to him.
Draco had noticed Harry's changes of mood, he had watched him everyday and was worried, but he knew better than ask him What was wrong. Draco didn't want to press him, so he had been waiting and will wait until Harry was ready to talk about his problems.
When Harry had asked him if he could accompanied him, Draco had refused, because he didn't want him to get worried and, in fact, Draco was scared of what could happen if someone try to harm him or if Harry heard nasty comments from some opposer of the new government. There were so many what if's, but Draco had decided a long time ago that make Harry happy was his priority, so at the end of the day Draco was sure of the rightness of his decision. It was a step closer to the perfect relation Draco had always dreamt; Draco wanted a solid relation and in order to have it there had to be no space for secrets and now the time to confront Harry with reality had finally arrived.

Chapter X Reality
The first time Harry woke up in Draco's bed he had been aware of the circumstances that had led him there, but as the time had passed everything had became darker and confused.
The first day Harry was able to accompanied Draco to the Ministry of Magic, he discovered to his surprise that everything looked normal as if nothing had happened, and, that fact had scared him.
Voldemort was dead, the Order was destroyed, there were rebels trying to escape and save their lifes and a new group had taken the power of the Wizard World. To many things had happened, but Harry realised that morning that normal people acted as if nothing bad had occured, as if no one had died, as if the past had never existed.
Harry felt uneasy in this new world that ignored its past, but he understood. The Wizard World had been waiting for this, for a time of security and peace, without Dark Lords nor threats.
Harry spent that day in a comfortable chair looking how Draco managed the paperwork in his office, seeing how many people was at his charge and thinking about what he had seen.
At the end of the day, Harry discovered that the world he had loved and known had dissapeared and now he was to affront a new challenge, he had to learn how to live in this unknown place.

Well, what can I said. I'm really sorry for this long absence but I have been having a writers block (I know everybody says the same thing when they hadn't posted for a while, but I swear that this kind of thing happened.) Anyway, I really appreciate that you are still reading this.
