Chapter 1

"Prior Engagements"

Harry got up from his favorite chair in his new house, and put his book down on the mahogany coffee table, where a steaming cup of hot chocolate sat. He picked up the cup and walked over to the window. The brilliance of the day had worn down to a dull gray. It reminded him of a lesser example of Draco's eye color, almost as if it were trying to be like him, but still it failed to be just as magnificent.

Draco…it had been a while since Harry had seen him…in fact the last time they had seen each other in person was graduation day for Hogwarts seventh years.

"Hey Harry. Isn't this great? I'm sorry I couldn't walk with you down the aisle, but we have to walk with our own houses, you understand right?"

(See over the last few months before graduation, they had become very good friends, and Harry had always told himself that this was good enough.)

"Yeah Draco, I understand. So how does it feel? To be a new graduate and all?" Harry jested.

"Well you tell me, you're one to you git." Draco retorted, with a slight punch in the arm.

"I don't know," Harry said turning serious "It's kind of scary knowing that, this is it…no more Hogwarts, or houses, or afternoon classes and weekend trips to hogsmead. I am going to miss it…so have you though about what your going to do now that school's out?" Harry said, trying to change the subject, just because he was rambling on like an idiot.

"No, but I am taking a year off, to just figure myself out, you know how hard that is." Draco replied, his humor coming out again.

"Yeah, and where do you suppose that will take you?" Harry asked, curiously.

"I am going to let it take me where ever it leads." He said. Then Professor McGonagall came over to take a picture of them together in front of the school. Even though he loved, and still loves, her today, he never really got over that, since he never found Draco after that moment.

end Flashback

Today was the first day ever since then that Harry was going to see Draco. They were to have lunch in the local café, by Barnes & Nobles. When Draco called, they exchanged their greetings, and new things that were going on in their lives, and then, Draco said he had something really important to tell Harry that couldn't be done over the phone. It had only been about a year after graduation, and something major was happening to Draco already?

No matter what it was, Harry had to promise himself, that he would be understanding, even if it was something like he murdered someone…and needed a place to hide out…no Harry was getting way ahead of himself. He knew Draco would never ever do anything like that, and besides, he sounded too cheery on the phone for that.

So with an open mind, and a happy heart, he set out for the café in his best clothing, and it was only a couple of blocks away so he walked. He arrived a bit early so he went ahead and ordered his usual drink, a double mocha cappuccino with extra whip cream, and a chocolate chip cookie to go with it. He began reading his book again, to pass the time to wait, but just as soon as he flipped to the correct page, he looked up to see Draco standing in front of him.

They both laughed and Harry stood up and put his book down.

"Harry, you never told me you were a book worm!" Draco laughed out, "which reminds me, how is old Hermione anyway?" As they let go of the embrace Harry just chuckled to himself.

"She's fine, and she works hard juggling between a mother and a serious journalist for the Daily Prophet." Harry said. Draco opened his mouth to ask another question but Harry answered it first. "Ron's ok, he's happy with his position as minister of magic, and he even offered me a job there." Harry said.

Draco laughed again, "Well looks like we still got our old touch." and then silence ensued.

"So," Harry said, wanting to break the silence, "I heard from someone that you have something really important to tell me."

"Yeah, I do you old joker."

Just then, at Draco's signal, the waiter that had served him his coffee and cookie, and had been serving it for the past year that he lived near this small hidden wizarding community, came over to their table and took a seat next to Draco.

"Hello, Harry, it's a pleasure to meet you. Draco told me all about you, and I just had to meet you." He said with his hand extended. Harry looked at it, and then to Draco, and then back to the hand. Reluctantly, he put out his own hand and plastered on a fake smile.

"Hi."

"Well anyway," the waiter went on "My name is Sam. I'm sure that we'll get to talk another time, but right now, my shift isn't over, and my boss isn't paying me to sit here and talk." With that final note, he leaned over and kissed Draco, and got up to go get some new guests orders. Draco laughed, and then his face turned a slight pink color. It was a minute before Harry could compose himself…he couldn't let Draco see that he was hurt…their relationship was in the past, and even though he had hoped Draco had come to tell him otherwise, he knew it was a long shot.

"Well, I guess the rumors aren't true, it isn't above a Malfoy to blush. Wait till Professor McGonagall hears about this." Harry joked.

"Yeah, but I have dirt on you too, remember? It isn't above a Potter to date a Malfoy." Draco joked back. Harry choked on his mocha. Then Draco sort of realized what was going on.

"Oh." he said.

"No, No. That's not it, I had a piece of that cookie stuck in my throat." Harry replied, and then cleared his throat and unbuttoned the top part of his collar for the added effect.

Draco sighed, color returning to his face. "I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions… I was just nervous about how you would take things that's all."

"Draco, please, I'm happy for you." Harry said and smiled.

"Well actually that's not the big part of it…you see we're engaged."
