The seventh years all waited in the Great Hall for their departure to California. Harry was standing next to Draco rather nervous. The nervousness, however, was for Draco. Harry had actually made Draco put on a rather large amount of some muggle thing called sunscreen.
Draco didn't like it. It felt sticky and gross. Not at all like his free self. Whenever Draco had whipped some off Harry would take out the tube and rube double the amount that was there before. Draco would just scowl and pretty soon gave up on his attempt to wipe it all off.
"Alright students gather around." Spoke the Gryffindor head of house clearly. Draco had grown to like her over the past few months. She was a supporter of inter house unity and that helped with UT a great deal.
"Alright, now that everyone has settled down these are the room arrangements. I would also like to add how please I am to have noticed all the inter house unity growling between the houses." She passed around a list with the room numbers on them. They would be staying in a five star hotel and to Draco's delight most of the closest UT members were all on the same floor. This was going to be fun. Draco and Harry were to be in room 733. 732 was for Blaise and Ron. 734 went to Lavender and Pansy.
It was a few days before the holidays when Pansy had finally confessed to Draco that she, Ginny, and Lavender were having a threesome. Draco was not pleased to hear of this news so late into their relationship but was glad that they were such open-minded people.
The professors supervising were the four head of houses. Though there really was not much need for that. All the houses were getting along, with the exception of the few who were still rebelling against Harry and Draco's relationship.
Also Blaise had paid for Ron's trip because Blaise was a rich pureblood wizard anyway it wasn't like he didn't have the money to spend on Ron.
When they all arrived in California, via port keys of course, everyone was excited. Everything was so different from England. For one it was sunny even though it was the middle of winter. Second it was absolutely beautiful wherever they turned.
Harry had taken Draco shopping with him instantly at a nearby mall, with the accompany of Severus Snape.
"Oh Draco look at that? It would look great on you." said Harry pointing to a rather revealing shirt.
Draco raised an eyebrow, "You don't mind how exposed that shirt is? I don't recall you ever having been like that before."
Harry grinned, "Only when I'm around. No one else."
The day progressed well for the both of them. Even for Severus when he noticed how happy the two were. It wasn't like the potion master hadn't seen them together before. It was that now when the two were together it was as if the wall that was restraining them before was torn down. Not absolutely but enough for them to look at one another in public and not be afraid of what the world thinks of them.
It has seriously been far too long since the Slytherin head of house had seen this type of love. This love wasn't only true, wasn't only real. It was pure. Something not many relationships had. This love he saw before him was something that held a million promises, promises of protection, promises of forever. The most important thing he saw in them was that no matter what happened in the future, he had no doubt that they would do whatever they could to keep the unspoken promises alive.
Severus looked up and just caught the sight of Draco placing a kiss on Harry's cheek. The Gryffindor looked up shyly at the blonde Slytherin and blushed. It was as if each kiss, each little peck on the cheek was the first. The spark was still burning after so much had happened between the two. It wasn't growing accustomed to the other. It wasn't getting used to having the other around. It was real pure love that keeps living and each time they find out something about the other it was just an added bonus to the feeling the two had.
Severus smiled. It really had been a long while since he had last seen this type of affection. This type of love and purity was hard to find, especially in the middle of war and the two who were most in danger had found it. Within the other. Severus looked at the two who were holding hands and pointing into the stores they saw were interesting and making their way in. Both blushing as if there was no tomorrow. The potion master smiled again. Perhaps he could have a Merry Christmas for once in his life after all.
When the two returned to the hotel they were smiling at each other and holding hand full of bags with their purchases of the day. All designer of course, Draco would have nothing less no matter what Harry said. Even if the shirt or pants looked amazing on Harry or Draco the blonde would hear none of it. It was either the best material or no material.
There was this shirt that looked absolutely fantastic on Draco but he didn't care. Harry would just have to suffer not being able to see the blonde in such a seductive shirt.
"So guys, how was shopping?" asked a very energetic Blaise dragging a rather tired looking Ron behind him.
"It was great!" grinned Draco who ushered his attention to the bags in hand and Blaise nearly leaped off the ground in glee. The black haired Slytherin grabbed the bags from the two and were looking through everything in the bags. Each time he brought up a piece of clothing he squealed with joy.
It was after a long while when Blaise had finally leaned over to whisper something for their ears only. "You guys think we can get away with going out tonight?"
"Like where?" asked Harry bewildered.
Blaise smiled evilly at the naive Gryffindor, "Why we'll be going clubbing of course."
Draco groaned. "Oh man, I remember clubbing with you last time. You were a mess and I had to clean you up."
Blaise smiled, "You enjoyed it and you know it."
Draco rolled his eyes, "Oh please! Don't think so highly of yourself. The only one I'd want to clean is Harry and you are hardly him."
Blaise pouted but quickly smiled again, "So you up for it? Maybe this time it'll be Harry who gets wasted and you get to clean him up?!"
Draco thought for a moment then turned to his Gryffindor, "So, what do you think?"
Harry smiled shyly, "I don't normally drink. I'd get so wasted so fast you wouldn't even know what hit me."
Draco smiled, "We're in."
Later that night Draco put on tight leather pants and a dark red silk top. Both he had gotten earlier today when shopping with Harry.
Draco turned his attention to the bathroom where Harry insisted on changing in. "Harry? You ready?"
There was a muffled comment from behind the closed door.
Draco let out an exasperated look though no one would see him anyway. "Harry I'm coming in."
When Draco stepped in his jaw dropped. "Harry you're HOT!"
Harry glared at him, "And I wasn't hot before? Thanks!"
Draco smiled, "But you look really hot today. How did you streak your hair like that?"
"I used a spell."
"Well you have to teach me."
"No! And have all those guys drool all over you? I don't think so."
Draco smiled, "I love it when you're jealous."
"Well I don't and stop trying."
"I need to try to get you jealous?" asked Draco with a slight pout.
Harry glared and turned back to his reflection. He had to admit that he did look pretty good at the moment. Dark blue pants that were so tight he could hardly breath but for some reason he felt comfortable in anyway. He had on a dark grey shirt that was just as tight but he liked the look anyway. In his hair were shots of dark blue and dark grey streaks that matched his outfit. The only problem was his glasses and Draco seemed to have noticed that at the same moment he did.
"Harry dear, don't you have something for them?"
Harry looked at himself a bit again and shook his head.
"Well good thing I do then." Said Draco who left the bathroom to rummage through his things.
"I think ahead you know. Unlike some Gryffindor I know." commented Draco as he was searching through his belongings.
Finally the blonde appeared again holding a bottle. Draco grabbed a glass from the bar in their room and filled it with water and dropped one single tiny drop of light blue liquid into the glass. Draco swirled the glass a bit before handing it to Harry.
"Here drink this and take off your glasses."
Harry did as he was told and finished the entire glass in one gulp. It didn't taste bad, actually it was quite sweet for him.
Harry took off his glasses but instantly he could see the things before him. Harry had to blink a few times to get used to the feeling of being able to use his eyes naked once again.
"Wow Harry, you look gorgeous. I don't think we'll be going to the club tonight then. We'll just be staying in. I'll floo Blaise and tell him." Said Draco walking to the fireplace in their room.
"But Draco I got dressed and everything. So have you. We're both ready to go."
Draco seemed to ignore the Gryffindor and threw in the floo powder. "Room 732." He spoke.
A moment later Draco was looking into the room of Blaise and Ron. "Blaise get over here!" he shouted.
Blaise emerged from the bathroom looking flushed and his hair was rumpled.
Draco rolled his eyes, "Anyway, Harry and I aren't going to make it today. Go on without us."
"What? Why?"
"Because," said a voice from behind Draco which belonged to Harry who poked his head through the fireplace as well beside Draco, "He wants to stay in and have some, fun."
Blaise looked taken back at the image of Harry. "God Harry you look gorgeous."
Draco glared at Blaise, "Blaise, best friend or not if you even dare-"
Blaise was still staring transfixed at Harry. Ron moved into the fireplace beside Blaise smiling because the red head had been oblivious to the conversation going on between the three.
"Even dare to what?" asked Ron still smiling but his jaw dropped as soon as he saw Harry, "Harry, is that you?"
Harry gave Ron a smile, which sent little tingles to his belly.
Ron swallowed, "Uh, why didn't you tell me you looked his good mate?"
Draco was still glaring at the two; the comment Ron just made didn't help things one bit.
"Look, we're not going and that's final. Good day." Said Draco rather rudely and pulled Harry back out of the fireplace with him cutting off the connection.
Before they could get a word out there was a knock on their door.
Draco glared at Harry accusingly before he went to open the door.
Ron and Blaise bursted through the door and stopped dead when they saw Harry standing there with his arms across his chest.
"What the bloody hell do the two of you want?" shouted Draco
"We, uh, we..." said Blaise still staring at Harry.
"UGH!" said Draco and pushed past the two boys and stood in the way blocking their view of Harry.
The two shook their heads, "I-I'm sorry." Said Blaise
"You damned well SHOULD be!" said Draco
The blonde turned around to look at his Gryffindor. Harry was sniggering silently and raised his eyebrow at Draco.
Draco groaned and shook his head. "I need to make sure you never look hot in public again." Said the blonde pushing Harry into the bathroom and closing the door behind them.
Blaise and Ron looked at one another after the door had closed.
"Harry's bloody hot." Said Ron
"I know. I got a hard on just looking at him." Replied Blaise
Ron looked down at himself, "I did too."
They looked at one another for a moment and fell down landing on the beds in the room.
Ron looked around the room and noticed the slight contrast in belongings on each side of the room. "I bed this ones Harry's." said Ron turning around to hug the bed beneath him.
Blaise's eyes lit up. "Really? Move over then!"
They were both still laughing as the bathroom door opened.
Harry walked into the bathroom and sat down on a set of steps beside the tub.
"Harry we need to make you presentable."
"Presentable?"
"Yes. You know you gave them both a hard on right?"
"Really? I was too busy watching your expression." Said Harry smiling
"You thought it was funny did you?"
"Yes."
"Well now that I know how you feel when you get jealous."
Harry grinned.
"What?" asked Draco
"I'm pretty sure there haven't been people out there that got a hard on just looking at you."
Draco gaped, "And why not?"
"Because whenever it gets near there I cast a spell on them."
Draco smiled and moved over to the Gryffindor and sat in his lap straddling him.
Draco rumpled the Gryffindor's hair, "Finite Incantatum." Said the Slytherin and the streaks in the Gryffindor's hair were gone.
"Now to get rid of the hot looking clothes. Maybe loosen them a bit."
"What? No! I'll go change I promise."
Draco glared, "Fine. Now what do we do with your eyes?"
Harry shrugged.
"I guess we can leave that, for now."
They grinned at each other and kissed before leaving the bathroom to enter their room once again.
"Bloody hell you're both still here?" asked Draco
The two looked up while still giggling and nodded while they plopped back down onto the bed.
"Well I guess no one's going anywhere tonight." Said Blaise finally getting a hold of himself while Harry went rummaging through his things to look for a change of clothes.
Draco still stood near the two with his arms across his chest sending them his chilliest glare.
After Harry changed into looser clothing he joined Draco on the blondes bed across from the boys from room 732.
"So do we just chill here then?" asked Harry
"Yeah, I brought some Butterbeer." Said Blaise
Harry smiled and looked at Draco who smiled back.
"I guess that's good, for now." Replied Draco who instantly turned to glare at Blaise.
Blaise nodded and left the room to get the Butterbeer.
When the black haired Slytherin returned he had brought Pansy and Lavender along. Apparently they bumped into each other in the hall.
"So," said Draco, "We're just going to stay here?"
Harry's head was on the blondes lap. The dark haired Gryffindor had downed a great deal of Butterbeer quickly and was quite tired at the moment.
"Well it's not like you can go anywhere." Said Blaise watching as Draco gently combed Harry's unruly hair with his hand.
Draco rolled his eyes, "That's not what I meant you git. I was trying to ask if you four were going to LEAVE."
"Oh," said Pansy giggling in the corner with Lavender sitting in her lap.
"Oh what?" asked Draco
"Oh nothing. Well since the two of you want some private time I guess Lave and me can go back to our room and have a bit of fun."
Draco made a face. "I did NOT need to know that."
Pansy rolled her eyes, "You know you like it. Girls on girls always turn on guys."
Lavender giggled in her lap.
"Yes that's true. One problem though. It turns on straight guys. I'm not a straight guy."
"Oh," said Pansy again.
"Anyways," said Blaise turning away from the overly drunk lesbian couple in the corner. "I guess we should go then if you want some time alone."
Ron said nothing though the red head hadn't drank much butter beer.
Draco glared, "Look you are not allowed to watch. Harry is mine. Got it?"
Blaise let out a breath of air, "Yeah I got it."
Ron sighed but said nothing.
"OH!" said Pansy in the corner again.
"What now Parkinson?" asked Draco shifting his glare to the girl in the corner.
"Nothing." she replied with a blushed. Lavender whispered something in her ear and she turned red. Pansy quickly stood up dragging Lavender along with her and they left the room without another word.
Draco made a face, "Ugh, girls."
"Yeah, disgusting aren't they?" asked Blaise.
Draco nodded and returned his attention to the beautiful raven-haired boy in his own lap.
