Chapter eight

Date of death

Harry and Draco had been seated in the most posh area of the restaurant. Harry was looking around in amazement; he wasn't used to such luxury. The table clothes were made of the finest cotton; there were red roses in a white porcelain vase on their table. There was so much cutlery Harry had no idea which on was for which course.

Seeing Harry's confusion Draco laughed. "Don't worry, I'll explain with each course. I had difficulty as well when I first started eating with all these, however I grew up with it, I ate baby food with this entire lot of cutlery."

Harry gave a half amused laugh but still felt slightly overwhelmed by it all. "God, why to people bother, isn't it simpler to just use one knife and fork?"

Draco looked at him as if he were mad. "This is more civilised and hygienic."

"I still think it's insane."

With the fist course Draco whispered to Harry what cutlery to use but while they were eating Harry accidentally flicked the croutons that had come with his salad across the room and into an elderly mans bowl of soup.

Draco almost choked on his salad, Harry's face had gone bright red, his face was lowered so far down his nose was almost in the dressing.

The mains course went off without a hitch, and just before the waiter came over to offer them dessert menus Draco whispered to Harry. "Want to skip dessert...I'll by you an ice cream?"

Harry nodded, he wanted to get out of this place and never come back.

When the bill came Draco tried to hide it from Harry but his subtly was never his strong point and Harry saw the amount.

"Draco, that's loads, you didn't have to bring me here."

"Harry, it's fine, I have enough money to buy this place, I could eat a thousand meals here and still have enough for a thousand more. Really it's nothing."

"You're too good to me Draco." Harry said, smiling at the blonde who had placed his credit card down and signed the receipt.

As soon as they had left the restaurant they joined hands and headed down the road where the beach was located. It wasn't really a beach but a load of rocks but the couple wandered along the cliff top watching the sun set over the shimmering surface of the water.

They found some grass and sat down, staring off into the distance. Harry leant his head on Draco's shoulder and sighed.

"What happens at collage?"

"Well Harry, I've never been there before but I guess we go to class and we learn stuff."

"You know what I mean, like between you and me."

"Nothing changes, we can meet up in free periods and lunch break, I'm not going to say we can't see each other because we go off to collage."

They sat there in each others company for what seemed like forever. They sat there until the sun had disappeared behind the horizon completely and the moon was shining down on them, along with the twinkling stars.

"It's beautiful up here tonight." Harry commented. Harry lay Harry down on his back and did the same himself.

"Do you know the constellations?"

"No, why do you?"

"Nope, I never understood them so I always made up my own; you see that really, really bright star and the small group around it, well that's a rose, do you see it?"

"Yeah, I do."

"And you see that collection right over there; well that's Aphrodite, the goddess of love."

"That one I don't see."

"I know that's because I made it up." Draco said propping his head up on his hands and staring at Harry. He leaned down and kissed the other teen deeply.

They continued for a long while until they needed air. The night was getting cold, they could see there breathe as they breathed heavily.

They slowly (due to kissing) made their way back to Harry's home. Harry opened the door and stumbled inside removing his jacket while still firmly attached to Draco's lips.

They broke apart only when Sirius came into the hallway looking ashen faced and even more so when he caught sight of where his godsons hands were wandering.

He coughed and the sudden noise broke the teens part, Harry was about to introduce Draco when he noticed how sad his features were.

"Siri, what is it?" Harry asked curiously, he knew something was wrong.

When his godfather didn't answer Harry went into the living room where his mother sat crying her eyes out and his father sat his eyes puffy and red. Remus wasn't present in the room, but he could be heard sniffing in the downstairs loo.

Draco had followed Harry and was still holding his hand when Sirius spoke from behind them. "Will's dead, Harry."

"What?" Harry said astounded, he had little to no emotion in his voice but no one was surprised by that.

"He was murdered by a new client of his." Lily sobbed loudly.

"Serve him right." Harry spat. Everyone in the room turned to him in disgust. "Don't look at me like that, he was always a bastard to me and I have no intention of mourning for him. He was no one to me, your no one to me." He said in the direction of Lily and James.

Turning around Harry marched out of the room head held high, dragging Draco along with him up to his room where his shopping bags were scattered around.

"Aren't you even a little upset?" Draco asked as he lay down on the bed where Harry had thrown himself upon entering the room.

Harry lifted his head to face his boyfriend. "Do you think I should be?"

"I don't know, I never knew him."

"Then don't judge me." Harry snapped irritable then regretted it at once. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so mean."

"That's ok, you are forgiven."

Draco leaned forward and captured Harry into a passionate kiss once more. Meanwhile downstairs Remus had remerged from the toilet and had set about comforting his old friends.

However they weren't there only to tell them about Will, they wanted Harry back. They wanted their other son back.

Sirius and Remus however weren't overly convinced that they were capable of having Harry back; he had walked out for a reason. They tried to explain this but every time they did Lily would burst into a fresh set of tears.

Hope u liked the chapter, it's getting intresting now and they haven't even started collage. I hope Harry and draco's relationship isn't moving to fast, but I really wanted to move it along a bit. I'm off to read the next installment of little-red-monkey's fic Happy ending...I love it. Please review
