A while later, students began filing into the Great Hall, including
Draco, with Crabbe and Goyle tagging along behind. They sat down in their
respective places at the Slytherin table and began to eat breakfast. It was
still rather early, and mail would not arrive until more students had taken
their seats and began eating.
Draco sat down at his table dejectedly and barely ate anything. He merely pushed his food back and forth on the plate, looking melancholy. Crabbe and Goyle could not figure out what had gotten their 'boss' so depressed. They were rather confused about how to go and cheer him up, since they didn't know what was wrong with him in the first place.
Time passed unknowingly to Draco. He was staring at his plate, thinking about how beautiful Harry's eyes were when a large snowy white owl landed in front of him, sticking out his leg where a letter addressed to him was attached. He took it tentatively, for he did not recognize the owl or the handwriting. He opened the letter up and read the 6 letter message:
'Room of Requirement at midnight"
Harry
Draco smiled to himself and pocketed the letter before getting up and walking out of the Great Hall. He was walking so fast he did not see Harry stare at him as he walked through the large double doors at the front of the hall.
During classes that day, Draco thought about Harry and what he could possibly want at midnight in a room that few people knew existed. *Oh I hope he gives me good news* He only saw Harry once during the day, during Potions, and nearly lashed out at Professor Snape when he told Harry that he couldn't fathom how Harry had made an 'Outstanding' on his Potions O.W.L. As the night drew closer, Draco could barely contain his excitement for what the evening would bring. He went to bed early as to give off the appearance that he was tired, and when it was a quarter till midnight, he set off for the Room of Requirement. Finally getting to the seventh floor with a minute to spare, he found the Room of Requirement and opened the door. He stepped into a cozy place with two armchairs, a fire place and enough food for two. *Maybe we could use that food for something else* he thought.
He was still looking around when a low voice called out to him. He turned and looked at comfy bed in the corner and saw Harry sitting on the edge of it. His breath caught in his throat at the sight of him. He was speechless at how beautiful Harry looked, with those shocking green eyes boring into his own. "I understand you wished to speak with me" Draco said. "Yes that is correct. We need to talk about..us" Draco gulped at the tone of Harry's voice. He could feel rejection running towards him and shoving itself into his stomach. "Please sit down Draco" Harry said, patting the bed next to him.
Draco breathed in deep before sitting down next to the black haired God on the bed. He bowed his head, bracing himself for the cold slap of rejection he knew Harry was going to give him. Harry looked at Draco, and seeing that Draco's head was lowered, he reached over and lifted it up so that Draco's eyes could meet his. When their heads were level, Harry leaned over and placed a soft, meaningful kiss on Draco's lips. Draco's eyes flew open in shock when he was kissed. He certainly wasn't expecting this! Could this mean what he thought it meant? "Draco", Harry began. "I'm breaking up with Ginny" Shock was evident on Draco's face when he heard this. Of all the things he expected to hear tonight, that wasn't it, So he did the only logical thing. "Why?" "Because I've found someone who surpasses her" Draco felt his heart sinking. It couldn't possibly be him. There was just no way. "I don't think I realized it until you kissed me on the train, but I now realize all those feelings that I confused for hatred were actually attraction and love. And that's it, Draco. I love you" Draco almost jumped for joy when he heard those words. They were like the most beautiful music! He leaned over and firmly placed his lips on Harry's while wrapping his arms around his neck. Harry returned the gesture by placing his hands on Draco's waist and gently opening his mouth so he could slide his tongue in to play with Draco's. They leaned back on the bed and fell asleep sometime later in each other's arms.
