Harry slid from the chair and the Slytherin table erupted in cheers. Harry smirked and started towards the table. This was going to be an interesting year.
He soon found Draco who pushed a girl with an extremely pug-like face away so Harry could sit with him. "Hey Draco." Harry said, looking around the great hall. "It always get this quiet when a guy who everyone things dead gets put into the one house everyone didn't want him it?"
Draco smirked. "No this is the first. I'm glad you got in. Imagine how terrible it would be if you got put in Gryffindor!" Harry shuddered looking over at the table. Thank god, now he could be closer to Draco.
Soon people stopped looking at Harry and the feast began. "I could so get use to this." Harry said eyeing the food and poking it. Draco laughed and they both started eating.
"We so shouldn't be doing this Harry! If we get caught well be in detention until school lets out, in 7th year!" Draco whispered as they both made their way down the empty corridor under Harry's invisibility cloak, Marauders map in hand.
"Shh here comes Filch!" Harry said, he pushed himself and Draco against the wall, pinning Draco down. Draco's eyes widened and he took a deep breath. As soon as Filch was gone Harry slowly pulled away from Draco, his cheeks burning. "Sorry." Harry mumbled as they slowly made there way out of Hogwarts grounds.
"Its okay…" Draco mumbled, shocked that he didn't put Harry's lights out, he meant well. They were soon safe off the grounds and they removed the invisibility cloak and continued there way to the nightlife of Hogsmede. They walked along, it was a lot more crowded then they thought it would be. Most of the stores were still open and running and the entire town was lit up alive.
"This is sweet!" Harry said as they made there was into a sweets shop to load up. They got a few bags full and then continued on their way. They walked until Harry's eyes caught a corner shop. "You guys have a piercing shop?" He pulled Draco in much to Draco's dislike and started looking at the many rings and prices.
"Don't you have enough?" Draco said eyeing Harry. He laughed.
"No way! I only have my ears, eyebrow, and belly done." Harry said showing each one as he did it. "I think I should get my tong." Harry said stroking his chin and sticking his tong out at Draco.
"Wouldn't that hurt?" Draco said touching his own tong and shivering. He had no piercing done at all. Harry laughed.
"Only for a minute then it's gone." Draco smirked. And Harry knew just what to say to wipe it off his face. "What are you getting done?" It worked.
Draco's eyes widened. "No way!" He said bringing his hands up as Harry walked up to him.
"Aw come on you would look hot with your lip done. Or maybe eyebrows." Draco took another step back into the wall, cornered.
"No way!" Draco said why was Harry so close. He felt nervous and Harry smirked.
"Am I making you nervous Draco?" Harry said raising his eyebrows at the blonde. Just then the door from the back opened and a middle aged witch walked out making Harry back off Draco.
"What can I do you for?" The woman asked eyeing the boys.
"Well I'm getting my tong done and Draco here." He paused looking Draco up and down. "Needs a lip ring for sure." The woman nods pointing at Draco.
"You first, come on." Draco glared at Harry.
"Please Draco! I swear you'll love it and the lip is nothing!" Draco sighed and followed the woman into the back followed closely by Harry.
He took a seat and watched the woman get everything ready. "You can hold my hand if you want, it helps." Harry said. Draco looked at his outstretched hand then at the woman. She came up to Draco, grabbing his lip. As she reached for the needle Draco grabbed onto Harry's hand.
Harry's eyes widened and he squeezed on Draco's hand, butterflies going insane in his stomach. Draco squeezed his eyes shut and as soon as it started, it was over. Draco looked into the mirror, a black ball lip ring went through the center of his lip, he liked it.
"It looks, good." Draco said looking up at Harry. Harry smiled, nodding his head in agreement.
Draco stood up from the chair and stood next to Harry. He looked down, seeing his fingers entwined in Harry's. He pulled away, his hand tingling. "Y-your turn."
Harry nodded; sliding into the chair and picking out the ring he wanted. He took a deep breath and stuck out his tong as told to do so. Draco was still staring at his hand and when he noticed Harry was about to get his done he slipped his hand into his. Harry's eyes locked on Draco's. He smiled, and then squeezed his eyes shut as the needle went through. Damn that hurt! He looked in the mirror. "That's hot." Harry said smiling.
Harry stands and goes to let go of Draco's hand but Draco holds it tighter. Harry smiles at the blonde and they make their way out of the parlor, hand in hand.
Once safely back in there dorm they both sat on Draco's bed. Draco traced the lines on Harry's hands then looked up into the teen's eyes. "What's going on with me?" He asked.
Harry shrugged. "What do you mean?" Harry smiled, Draco smiled back.
"I've never felt like this, especially with a guy!" Draco said scratching his head. "Your gay correct?" Harry smiled, nodding his head. "How did you fond out, what were the signs."
Harry shrugged, looking around the room. "I don't know really I would date girls, and they just wouldn't do it for me. And when I hung with guys I felt more than just friends, it was on a different level. I wouldn't think about girls, It would always be a guy I saw I would find myself wanting to be close to them. One day I met my ex Mike, he had just come out and we got along instantly that's when I knew.
"Why did you break it off then?" Draco asked.
"After a while, we got bored of each other, plus we were moving here so I could go to Hogwarts. I just didn't feel as strong for him as I use to. It was just an infatuation." Draco nods.
Draco looked up at the raven-haired boy. IF everything Harry just said was true, he thought he might like-like Harry. But even if that was okay on its own, this is Harry Potter! Your father would do anything to get his hands on him, to hurt him. How could they keep that a secret from him? From anyone? "Harry." Draco started. Harry looked into Draco's eyes. "I think I like you as more than a friend, but I'm not sure, you know? But, Id like to find out. I don't want anyone to know though." Harry smiled at the boy.
"That's, that's great!" Harry said hugging the blonde. Draco hugged back and smiled. What a pair they would make.
