Chapter 8- Shopping!

The next few days were filled with dinner party plans, classes and everyone being stunned that Harry and Draco were partnering up in class.

On Friday morning Harry was sitting with Ron, Hermione and Ginny when the post came in. Harry and Draco had posted the invitations the night before so he wasn't surprised when he saw three school owls flying towards their table carrying silver envelopes.

As the envelopes were dropped in front of Hermione, Ginny and Ron they all looked mildly surprised but not as surprised as Harry when a familiar black owl came swooping down and dropped a letter and a package down in front of him.

Hermione, Ginny and Ron were all busy reading their invitations to notice the delivery and so Harry quickly slipped the note and the box into his pocket so he could open it later.

"You and Draco are having a dinner party?" asked Ron, looking at Harry as if he were crazy.

"Yeah," he sighed, "it was Dumbledore's idea. He'll be there and so will McGonagall and Snape." He explained, looking up at the teachers' table to ensure that they got their invitations. All three of them held shiny silver envelopes and were reading them with interest.

"Great, and you honestly expect me to come? And what is neat casual anyway?" asked Ron, looking rather put out.

Harry looked over at Hermione who smiled apologetically and steered Ron away to explain what 'neat casual' was. Before she left she said that they would be there.

"What about you Ginny? Do you think you can make it?" asked Harry as he got up from the table.

"Do you think that after being," she paused and looked down at the invitation, "Cordially invited by Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter, two of the sexiest Hogwarts boys that I would decline?" she winked at Harry, "I'll be there!" she finished before walking off.

Harry shook his head and then walked off to get ready for class.

*****************************************************************

That evening after lots of last minute plans regarding the dinner party, Harry finally made it to bed. Only then did he remember the package and letter from Alex.

He pulled out the box that was wrapped in gold paper with a silver bow and he placed it on his bed beside him and focused on the letter.

'Dear Harry, I haven't heard from you in a while, I hope everything is okay. I miss you so much; I can't stop thinking about you and our summer together. That was probably the best summer of my life and I owe it all to you. In the box is a present, just so you don't forget about me. Keep in touch Harry, you are everything to me.

Your loving boyfriend,

Alex.'

Harry sighed as he read over it, and realised he hadn't written to Alex in a long time.

He picked up the box and opened it, inside was a framed picture of him and Alex kissing passionately. He laughed and put it on his bedside table next to the other photos.

He couldn't help but have a thing for sexy blondes! (A/n: Hint Hint!)

*****************************************************************

Harry was woken early on Saturday morning by Draco shaking his shoulders. When the blonde saw that he was awake he ran out of the room so that Harry couldn't kill him.

Harry dragged himself out of bed and pulled on a pair of track pants before trudging out into the common room where Draco was already waiting, looking very bright and cheerful.

"Morning, Harry!" he called, making Harry wince.

"Morning," he grumbled, not being a morning person at all. He downed a glass of juice and started to feel better, then he sat down on the couch and waited for Draco's orders to come.

"Now, you can take this down to the kitchens for me and give it to a house elf, then meet me at the gates so that we can go down to Hogsmeade and get you some clothes to wear tonight!" he said, thrusting the menu for the dinner party into Harry's hands.

"Yes sir Mr. control freak sir!" said harry, saluting to Draco then going quickly to his room before Draco could have a go at him.

***

Harry ran back up from the kitchens, laughing about Dobby and his clothes and quickly found Draco waiting impatiently at the gates.

"What took you so long? You only had to take a piece of paper to the bloody kitchens!" he asked, looking very impatient.

"Cool it, Draco, it took longer then I expected okay?" he said, walking ahead of Draco as a sign that he wanted to make up lost time.

They walked in silence down to Hogsmeade, passing a lot of Hogwarts students who obviously found it quite odd to see two enemies walking together into the village.

They stopped in front of a very expensive looking shop and Draco looked at Harry.

"Come on, let's get you into some stylish clothes. I can't be seen with you looking like that," he said, looking over Harry's baggy clothes with disdain.

Harry shook his head and muttered, "Snob!" as he followed Draco into the store.

The girl at the counter welcomed Draco and Harry in, looking at Harry's clothes in the same way that Draco had. Harry knew that this was Draco's world so he let Draco do all the talking.

"We're having a dinner party this evening and we were looking for some nice clothes to wear. And also my friend here would like some neater everyday clothes. He's sick of looking like a beggar," said Draco in a cool drawling voice as he smirked sexily at the shop girl.

She laughed quietly and then got down to business, "Very well then boys, follow me and I'm sure we'll be able to find something that suits."

She took them to a corner of the shop where they held clothes for younger men. "I think you might be able to find something you like in these racks," she said, 'Now let me set you up with a change room each and we'll start finding something that will work."

She opened up two change rooms that were made of velvet green curtains and then helped Harry and Draco choose some clothes, putting them into the change rooms for them to try on.

When the piles of clothes in the change rooms got rather high, Draco and Harry went into them and started to try on outfits.

Harry looked at the piles of clothes that hung from the walls of his changing room; these clothes were nothing like what he usually wore. They looked like... they looked just like the clothes that Draco usually wore.

Knowing he wouldn't get out of there alive if he didn't try something on, he sighed and pulled a shirt of the hanger, endeavoring to find himself an outfit or to.

"Hurry up, Potter! Put something on and get out here to show me, don't think I'm letting you choose your own clothes." Sneered Draco, kicking at the curtains.

"Alright, keep your pants on!" laughed Harry, pulling on a silvery silky shirt and a pair of nice fitting bootleg jeans.

He tossed the curtain aside and strode out of the change room, trying to look as sexy as possible.

Draco stood in front of a large mirror, raising one eyebrow and smirking at himself, he was wearing dark black pants and a white shirt underneath a dark green T-shirt. He spun around and looked Harry up and down critically.

Inside Draco's mind he was dismissing all thoughts of being straight and all he could think of was how delicious Harry looked in tight pants. Realising he'd been staring at Harry for longer than he should have, he shook his head to clear his thoughts and looked him up and down once more.

"It's an improvement." he said and shrugged, inside his head he was praising himself for sounding so calm.

"Gee thanks!" laughed Harry; he made a mental note to remember how sexy Draco looked when he was checking someone out, then his face broke into a smug smile at the thought that Draco was checking him out.

"What are you thinking?" asked Draco, obviously worried at the look on Harry's face, then his own face contorted into a look of disgust. "On second thoughts, I don't want to know!" he said, beginning to unbutton his shirt as he walked back into the change room.

Harry laughed and went to change into another outfit himself. This went on for quite a while, they would try on outfits, show one another and try and keep their minds off how sexy the other one looked.

As Harry's outfits got progressively sexier, Draco had to continually re- convince himself that he was straight.

Finally, Harry and Draco had chosen outfits for their dinner party and Harry had also bought some new clothes that Draco insisted he just 'had' to have.

After picking up some necessary dinner party items they headed back to the castle to get their plans in order.

*****************************************************************

A young blonde boy threw his handheld mirror at the floor in frustration, then he summoned it back to himself and repaired it, and peering into it he frowned.

"Why isn't he in a dorm with other boys? What is this private room nonsense? Why hasn't he replied to my messages?" he thought to himself, looking into the mirror as if it would give him answers.

***

Meanwhile in Harry's bedroom, in the photo of him and Alex kissing, the blonde boys' eyes were wide open, looking around the room.

A/N:

Okay, for those of you hanging off my every word and begging me for slash, be patient. Harry and Draco hate each other, HATED each other, so it will take some time for them to start having wild passionate sex! I assure you, they will have wild passionate sex! But you just have to be patient! I know that if I was reading this story, I would be pulling out my trusty shot gun and looking up where the author lives, but before you start making plans to kill me, you have to understand that this story is deeper than my others. Draco hasn't fully admitted that he is gay, and that will take some time. Harry is still in early gay stages, AND he is still with Alex (Who is not as innocent and great as he seems. We will see more of Alex in the future, I have great plans for him!)

Hopefully you can see it from my point of view, and I will satisfy your hunger with some nice and increasingly sexual dreams, much to my darling beta Sarah's disgust!

Thank-you for reading this and following it this far, please do look into my other stories even if the pairings aren't exactly your cup of tea, I love reviews so they will be lovingly accepted. Please make them long and loving!! Lol, thank you and goodnight!
