Chapter 3 shopping for school and other things!
Two weeks later everyone had gone together to go shopping for their Hogwarts things. As they walked towards Gringrotts to get their gold Harry was talking to Seamus saying
"What I wouldn't give for Draco to like me back you know if he at least got a reaction it'd be worth it I mean it's apparent that he does because he doesn't blush but when I get really close to him he gets all wide eyed. So it's not like it's falling on deaf ears but it's only good if he would fight back, playing hard to get is so under rated."
"Yeah mate he is gorgeous you do have good taste when it comes to men."
"You now I had this weird dream last night" Harry thought out loud.
"Yeah" said Seamus now sounding intrigued.
"Well it was about-"
"Draco" Seamus said "Harry, that much is obvious. I mean what happened."
Harry scowled and continued, "As I was trying to say, it was about Draco and it was an erotic dream. It was really weird it was after a quidditch practice and you and I were cleaning up in the showers and Draco came in looking for me you said you were going to find Dean" at this Harry gave Seamus a smirked "After you left Draco walked up to me and I pinned him to the wall then I ravished his mouth"
"What did he taste like?" Seamus asked,
Harry looked at him like he was crazy but said "Well since you must know he tasted like raspberries and cream."
"But then I moved down him to his neck giving him a love bite as he nibbled on my ear-"
"mmnngghh" Seamus moaned. Harry looked at him concerned
"Okay, enough of my fantasies for you."
"Uh, what sorry, what?"
"You can't stop there" Seamus whined.
"Actually I have no choice to because that's when I woke up."
"What? That's soo not cool mate."
"Yeah your telling me I had to wank off before I could go back to sleep."
"Oh, so that was the strange grunting noise coming from your room last night."
"Yeah sorry I would have put up silencing charms but at that point I was a little peeved at having woken up then anyway so it kind of slipped my mind."
As the group walked out of Gringrotts Seamus spotted a flash of blonde hair and spotted Draco Malfoy in the crowd and taping Dean on the shoulder he pointed it out.
"Come on lets go ask him if he wants to shop with us." Seamus whispered into Dean's ear making him shiver.
"Okay, babe, but lets make it a surprise for Harry how 'bout?"
"Ingenious" Seamus turned to the others and said,
"Hey guys I know that we just ate like thirty minutes ago but Dean's hungry again."
Seamus thought for a moment and then continued,
"Lets do this, Harry you and Ron have to get food for your owls right? So how 'bout while you get food for your pets I'll get food for mine." Seamus suggested with a smirk.
Everyone laughed except for Dean who pouted but said nothing.
"Fine we'll see you in – 15 minutes?" Hermione asked.
"Sure we'll meet in Madam Malkins Harry needs new robes and I want to help pick them out." Seamus said.
The two groups split up and Seamus and Dean pushed through the crowd to catch up to Draco, which wasn't very hard because of his hair. Draco was walking with one of his best friends and fellow Slytherin Blaise Zabini they stopped short to hear Draco talking in a childish voice and was saying
"Gods Blaise you should have seen him that night he was gorgeous in the dark kitchen in those clothes, I swear I almost drooled I mean you could see every muscle in his body."
"Draco I know you like Harry and exactly how hot he is especially with his new look we just saw him, but you have been doing nothing but talking about the damn party since that night." Blaise moaned.
Seamus and Dean just stared at each other looking surprised.
"I know Blaise but I can't help it I've hopelessly fallen for a Gryffindor and you're the only one I know who's in the same shape as me."
"What are you talking about?"
"I know about your crushing on Colin Creevy, I'll be it that I don't quite understand it but if it gets you up."
"Hey Colin is much more than that."
"Whatever lets continue shopping and try not to talk about it."
Seamus and Dean were holding onto each other trying not to pass out from shock bothe boys ran 20 meters in the opposite direction and broke out laughing.
Seamus was first to regain his control and said, "This is perfect Draco is just as fallen for Harry as Harry is for Draco. All we gotta do is tell Harry and he'll do the rest."
"Yeah, we should also do something about the other relationship too I've caught Colin sneaking glances at Blaise during meals and those two would be insanely hot together."
"That's a great idea baby, but I think that getting Harry and Draco together should take top priority. Then we'll worry about Colin and Blaise."
Seamus then kissed Dean full on the mouth and when he finished Dean asked, "What was that for?"
"Come on we need to go tell the others. And that-" Seamus said "-is because I love you, but if you want I can stop." Seamus continued with a mischievous gleam in his eye.
"Don't you dare!" Dean warned emphatically. "I live for it." He said coming up behind Seamus, and kissing him on the neck and snaking his hand around his boyfriend's waist as they made their way to Madame Malkins.
When Seamus saw Harry outside of Madame Malkins he attacked him and said, "you're going to kiss me" "What are you talking about? I'm not going to kiss you that's his job and he might hurt me if I tried." Harry said pointing at Dean.
"Yeah, that's right but listen to him he's right." Dean interjected.
"Anyways Dean and I over heard Draco Malfoy talking to Blaise Zabini and he wouldn't stop talking about how bloody gorgeous you were at your party."
"It also turns out that he hasn't stopped talking about you since then and that you are an obsession."
"And obsession was Draco's word." Dean added when Seamus was done.
"Hey, Ron I think this years going to be fun after all." And then Harry turned and grabbed Seamus, dipping him and kissed him.
Harry lifted Seamus and Dean who was looking fully peeved and started complaining until Harry repeated the process.
"Guess Seamus was right after all."
"Hey Harry why don't we get your new robes I think you've gotten just about as much wear out of those as your gonna. "
"Yeah and I want to get a different style."
"Alright, why not something with a slim waist and a flare in the sleeve to accentuate your torso and those sculpted shoulders." Said Seamus.
Ron had started to mutter about homosexuals and fashion so Harry suggested, "Why don't we go in and see what Madame Malkins has in here."
With that the entire group entered the shop and Madame Malkins' face light up. When she came over Seamus and Dean started to tell Madame Malkins what it was exactly that "Harry" wanted.
Madame Malkins took each robe and styled it to the fit and color that was called out with dean juggling Seamus and Harry, while Hermione and Ron had their stuff taken care of by another assistant. Just has Harry started to move into the back of the shop to be fitted he paused to watch Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini enter the shop then he called Madame Malkins over and whispered inconspicuously into her ear and when she nodded he shot his friends a victorious grin before disappearing into the back of the shop.
Madame Malkins turned and started to service Draco and Blaise. While Blaise was talking about robes with Madame Malkins Draco turned to Ron without thinking and said,
"Hey weasel where's the Gryffindor crown your Golden Boy?"
'Shit! Why do I have to be such a ponce'
"Hey Draco you can drop the facade we already know that you and Harry are friends now and if that's the case then you have to be my friend." Ron said declaratively.
"I know I know Weas-Ron I'm sorry I understand how much you mean to Harry and that means a lot to me so I will try to put our pasts behind me agreed?"
"Yes" Ron said affirmatively. Stepping forward and shaking Draco's hand.
"Mr. Malfoy, I have another boy I'm fitting right now but I can take you right in here." Madame Malkins spoke up and usher into Harry's fitting room.
Draco turned and without looking back said "No Blaise stay I can fit myself without you telling me how great my ass is. Besides you should stay and work on your social skills, be nice."
And with that Draco was gone.
In the dressing room
"Hello punk" Draco said goading his favorite Gryffindor.
"Blondie" Harry said taking the bait.
"Not just blonde anymore" Draco smiled thoroughly enjoying the bulge that happened in Harry's eyes. As he turned to look at Draco and true enough Draco's angelic locks were now twisted with emerald green and sapphire blue streaks.
"I figured if they look good on you they'd look great on me."
"They do" harry murmured.
"What was that?" Draco asked.
"Nothing I just said that that is so like you."
'That's not what you said' Draco thought
'let the fun begin' Harry thought as Madame Malkins came in to start the fitting.
"Let's get started shall we?"
"Yes, lets" Draco agreed enthusically.
Harry however asked "Would it be alright if I took my shirts off it's kind of hot back here.
"Sure dear go right ahead." At this Harry peeled off his ripped black and green tie-dye shirt and his long sleeve white rayon shirt to reveal a chiseled torso complete with a perfect rock hard six-pack of abs and a large slender set of biceps. Draco had to use all his will power not to drool but her couldn't help gapping and staring this caused Harry to ask,
"Is something wrong Draco?"
'Besides the fact that you're flaunting those perfect abs and I can't even touch them?'
"No, nothing's wrong, but you know now that you mention it is a little stuffy may I take of my shirt too?"
"Of course dear." She did find this all very amusing.
As Draco peeled off his shirt to reveal his own set of chiseled abs and biceps but because of his alabaster skin they didn't look quite as defined, Harry liked Draco like that and he started to stare as well.
"Is something wrong Harry your staring?" Draco said mockingly.
Harry just shook his head and Madame Malkins started to magic robes over Bothe boys after all enough was enough and bothe boys had had there fun.
Twenty minutes later the boys came back out with their full sets of robes. When Harry went to pay for his robes he suddenly asked Madame Malkins if he could wear one set of robes out and since he was buying a lot she agreed and let Draco and the other's pay for their stuff while he went to changed he came back out of the dressing rooms in a set of black robes that had an oriental style with white trimming and a low V cut down to the navel that showed off his black tye-dye t-shirt. When he came out everyone appluaded and Madame Malkins commented "Harry those look wonderful on you"
When they finally made it out of the robes shop Harry turned to Draco and asked him
"So why aren't you two surrounded by Slytherin's I mean Draco you're the Prince of Slytherin and Blaise is like your second in command."
"Not anymore when Blaise and I refused the mark I was disowned but I have my own money so I'm fine. Blaise's family on the other hand has never associated with the dark side they're all just cunning and know what the hell it is that they want."
"Oh, so what were you planning on doing for the rest of the day?" Harry asked.
"Well, we were going to crash at my house for the afternoon but my mom kicked us out muttering about cleaning up a mess we made I don't know now we have nothing planned." Blaise said.
"Hey why don't you guys come back to Harry's place with us and have lunch then we can hang out for the afternoon and get to know each other better. " Hermione suggested wisely.
"It's a great idea but I'm not sure Weasley would appreciate my company." Draco answered. When Ron didn't say anything Hermione stepped on his foot and he said,
"I wouldn't object if it's what Harry wants."
Everyone turned to Harry and he smile gloriously. "That'd be wicked!"
"Well then that's enough talking let's go." Dean said and started to pull Seamus toward the Leaky Cauldron. When they were all there they split into pairs to floo back to Harry's house and then Hermione asked Harry "Whom are you going to floo with?"
"Why does he have to floo with someone?" Draco asked,
"I have Vertigo and I need to hold onto something or else I fall over."
"Wow, well then you can go with Draco and I'll go by myself." Blaise said and then before Draco could object he stepped into the fireplace. He quickly had to turn around and ask Harry
"Hey, what's your house called?" when everyone finished laughing Harry said
"It's called Marauder Manor and thanks."
"Yeah, yeah just make good use of it," and with that Blaise took a pinch of floo powder, stepped into the fire and said "Marauder Manor," and disappeared in a swirl of green flames.
Ron and Hermione went next and when Seamus and dean had gone that left just Harry and Draco.
"Well," Harry said stepping into the grate with Draco "Give me your arm."
"Why?"
"Like I told you I have to hold onto something and you just happen to be my something to hold onto." Harry whispered into Draco's ear as he slipped his arm around Draco's then he dropped his pinch of floo powder and said "Marauder Manor," and they too disappeared into a swirl of green flames.
When they ended the journey they wobbled a bit but they didn't fall. Draco stepped out of the fireplace and rubbed his arm
"Geez, Harry you killed Voldemort and you can't take a simple floo around the block."
"Stuff it, so what do you think of the house?"
It was then that Draco actually stopped to admire the surroundings. They had apparently flooed into the kitchen and was it ever a kitchen it seemed as though they had just redone the house and the kitchen had been decked out with a huge Viking stovetop and oven that had 6 cooking eyes and there was also a hibachi grill, then there were two big ovens recessed into the wall stacked on top of each other and next to that there was a huge fridge/freezer that looked like it was a walk in.
"We just finished redoing the house and I got to work on the kitchen I love to cook with my godfather's they cook all the time wait 'til dinner and you'll see." Harry said proving Draco's thought to be true.
"Cool I can't wait, but what about lunch."
"Well considering the fact that the other's aren't still here I would say that they already have food upstairs in the common room.
"Okay let's go. I don't have Vertigo but flooing does make me hungry." He said smiling bashfully
Harry just laughed and lead the way upstairs. "You know this isn't at all what I was expecting from what my mom told me she made it sound like it was nothing but gloom and doom."
"Yeah, that's what it was like before Sirius and Remus got a hold on it being gay they have a great sense of taste and wait 'til you see the upstairs Sirius has got flare and he prides himself on his transfiguration skills they are top notch though."
By this point the boys had gotten to the common room and sure enough Hermione had a tray of food and drink. "Well this is the Common Room, what do you think?" Harry asked.
When Ron heard Harry he turned and faced him his face breaking into a grin. "About time you two got here if you took much longer we were going to send out a search group. "
"Yeah well Draco got hung up on my kitchen." Harry smirked poking Draco in his ribs
"So what do you think?" "OW, it's definitely got Sirius' flare and I really like it." Draco passed above normal standard.
"Well thank you Draco." Everyone jump and spun around to find Sirius with his arms around Remus
"Harry we were just coming to warn I mean tell you that were going to the kitchen to make our lunch and to offer to make dinner as well. Harry could see the looks in bothe his godfathers' eyes and said
"Okay you can make dinner but please remember to clean up the table before you call us and make sure you get all the mess this time." Harry said gleaming at his godfather's.
"Yeah, yeah I'll make sure to clean all his mess up Harry." Remus said smirking and pulling Sirius out of the room and down the stairs.
"So it's agreed we are defiantly going to wait for them to call us down this time?" Hermione asked.
"But what if I get hungry?" Blaise asked.
"You wait or else you'll loose your appetite I almost did!" Ron said.
"What happened?" Draco asked interested.
"Well it seems that Sirius and Remus have a thing for kitchen tables." Hermione explained suggestively
"Yeah and Ronnie here got a good dose of it one night when he got hungry and didn't wait for them to call us down then when we were cleaning the kitchen there was a pool of what Sirius called cream on the table so that's what happened." Harry explained
"Wow that'd be something I want to see," said Blaise.
"No, it's bad enough to visualize and it's so common if you're around long enough you'll probably get your wish without asking for it. Besides Sirius is a little bit of an exhibitionist so if you do ask you might just get what you ask for esp. if he's horny. But in the mean time what should we do 'til were called down for dinner."
"Well..." Blaise said looking around the room.
There were all kinds of stereo equipment along one wall and all sorts of video games in a glass case that would have to be pretty strong considering that it was holding up a 72 " plasma TV. In front of it was a black velvet U shaped couch. Behind the couch was a pool table. In the center of the couch there was a blue glass coffee table, which was currently cluttered with magazines, papers and food. The room itself was painted blue with light runes running along the top and bottom floorboards to light the room.
"You know Harry we haven't practiced since your birthday and Dean hasn't heard us yet neither have Draco or Blaise." Seamus said watching his boyfriends face light up at the idea.
"Yeah that's a great idea why don't you guys go get your stuff and bring it down here and play for us? Please?" Dean asked pleadingly.
"Okay that works we'll be right back," Harry Ron Hermione and Seamus all left.
"Hey Dean what the hell just happened where'd they all go." Draco asked
"I'll let Harry explain when he gets back come on take a seat he said as he flipped over the back of the couch and settled down to wait.
"They'll be back in about five minutes and then you'll understand."
True to his word 5 minutes later all four of the Gryffindors reentered the room and started to set up the music equipment to the left of the TV where there was a raised platform.
"Oh, I get it now you guys are a band," Draco summarized.
"Yep!" Harry said setting up his microphone and today we're going to play for you so sit back and enjoy. When they were finished setting up Harry turned to Ron and asked,
"What should we play for them first?"
"Well, since lover boy's here I think we should start with that song by The Calling that you've been wanting to try."
"You mean "Anything"?"
"Yeah don't you think it's fitting?"
"I suppose" Harry said grinning wickedly Harry turned up the volume on his mic. and Seamus counted them off then Harry's velvety voice started singing softly into the mic:
I will be there
Always waiting
Waiting for you
To let me inside
Where your fire burns
In a city of angels
Just like a river rushing straight into the sea
I'm the one thing meant for you and you for me
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
And as you sleep
Eyes to the window
I'm watching you dream
Well are you dreaming of me?
So why can't you see
You're all that matters
You know if this earth should crack
I'll be your solid ground
I will be there to catch you when you fall down
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
If I have to crawl
Get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll go anything
I'd take the stars right out of the sky for you
I'd end the world give you the sun, the moon
For all of time, forever loving you
Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
If I have to crawl
Get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
By the time they were finished Harry was in a locked stare with Draco then he smirked and turned to Ron to wink "How was that?"
"Bloody hilarious"
"I think we should just run through our regular stuff that's really all we need to practice,"
"Sure," Ron agreed.
Harry turned to Hermione to tell her what was up, then he took back the mic and they continued to practice. They played for another 30 minutes before they were called down.
"About time" Draco murmured
"Trust me Draco if you had gone down any earlier you wouldn't have had an appetite" Ron replied.
As the teens ate dinner in the kitchen they discussed all sorts of things, it soon became apparent that they all had more in common then not. They agreed on all the same bands; they liked similar foods, etc. Sirius and Remus excused themselves to get some alone time. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Seamus led Dean, Blaise, and Draco to their practice room/lair.
"Wow this is intense." Draco said looking at the performance platform"
"Yeah this is amazing, hey Drake why don't you show them what you got?"
"Blaise!" Draco glared at his best friend.
"Draco what the hell is Blaise on about?" Harry asked with his head tilted in confusion.
Before Draco could answer though Blaise answered for him. "Draco hear plays bass with me although I play guitar and pansy composes for us."
"I can speak for myself." Draco said still glaring then continued, "My father never knew I would sneak out and go to Blaise's."
"Yeah we've actually had a few gigs before."
"Wow that's amazing we're still in the developing of the band." Seamus said.
"Hey Harry why don't we let them tryout now if they've got the sound we're looking for that would save us the trouble of holding tryouts." Seamus continued.
"Yeah why not, you boys game?" Hermione agreed.
"I'll do it but I don't have my bass so we'll have to wait." Draco answered. "Actually check this out," Harry said picking up his guitar
"You can use this, press this little blue button here and it changes into a bass just tune it."
"Wow I haven't seen this before." Draco said.
"Neither had I it was a present from the band for my birthday" Harry commented.
Draco and Blaise spent the next fifteen minutes auditioning and were finally officially part of the band.
"You know drake now that I'm part of this band I should really consider getting my hair done I already got the okay from my mom she said as long as it's not blonde or bald she fine with it." Blaise told Draco.
"Yeah that would be a good idea Blaise you know Punk Outfitters is open on Sundays you two could spend the night here and we could go in the morning." Harry suggested.
"That could work but I'll have to run it by my mom first Draco's staying with us 'til school while Sev. Is at a potion Masters convention in Italy" Blaise explained.
Twenty minutes later Blaise returned with two overnight bags and an okay from his mom.
"Cool so we'll go first thing in the morning." Harry said.
The rest of the night literally in the lair learning more about each other, this resulted in Blaise getting his hair done around four in the afternoon as opposed to ten that morning. In the end Blaise's hair, which started out as black, was now acid green with black streaks.
Oh my gods I can't stop apologizing for how long it's been six months is too long I hope it won't take this long again but I can't make any promises. Please if anyone's still reading this press that little blue button down there and review for me. It really makes my day and I have spam blocker so any flames will just be used to incinerate my other junk mail. HAHAHAHA!
