----------------------------Chapter 4. Don't let this be a dream…-----------------------
POV: Draco
Sighing, I stretched, growing tired from working so long. When I did I could almost literally feel Potter's eyes eagerly roaming my body. What the hell? Is he checking me out! That can't be it; since when was Potter gay? He isn't checking me out… is he? I looked over at him; he hurried to straighten himself up and threw on a convincing glare. "You're supposed to be reading out the directions, not watching as I do all the work," I told him with a smirk.
He blushed and looked at the board. "Right, umm, the next step is to add the crushed rose thorns and stir the potion counter clockwise for—"
"I've already done that, Potter," I said, trying to hide my amusement.
"Oh… umm, which part are you at?"
I rolled my eyes at him. "Never mind," I muttered. Sigh, at least he was saying more than just "whatever" to me.
I turned around to continue the potion, measuring out the next ingredient. Out the corner of my eye I saw that Potter had started watching me again, his eyes filled with a strange longing I didn't recognize. I bit my lower lip self-consciously, feeling highly unnerved by all the attention Potter was giving me (I knew it couldn't be lust I saw in his eyes because Potter's straight… right?).
Well… as long as he's watching (I ran my fingers through my hair and saw Potter shift lower into his seat), might as well enjoy all the attention he's giving me.
I kept working on my (our?) potion, doing all sorts of stuff to keep Potter's eyes focused only on me, like giving him a small, encouraging smile if I found his attention wavering. I was so caught up in my performance that I didn't even notice Professor Snape had come over until he vanished our potion.
"Start over! You two will not leave until you complete the assignment together; that means you actually have to work Potter!" Professor Snape said coldly.
"But Professor, what about our other classes? You can't expect us to miss them!" Potter argued.
"I'll write you a note excusing you from showing up, but you will need to go get your missed assignments on your own time."
The bell rang. Professor Snape waited until the rest of the class had left before making his way over to the classroom door. "I will be locking this door to make sure you don't leave before finishing the potion, and don't give me that look Potter. It will unlock itself when you are through with the potion." Professor Snape exited.
"He can't really have locked the door!" Potter hissed, striding over to the door and trying the handle. It was locked, of course.
I shrugged and started to re-setup the work area. I wasn't as devastated by this as Potter, probably because I think I'll like being locked in a room with him for an extra class period. I looked up and noticed he hadn't moved. "We really should start working on the potion; I don't want to be locked in here all day," I said, drawing him out of his thoughts.
He nodded his head and walked back over to help me. "Sorry about all this," he muttered. I couldn't believe he was blaming himself for this!
"It's not your fault, I—I should've let you help," I said, blushing. Why the hell am I blushing! How the hell is it that Potter can make me feel so seductive and in control one second, and the next second make me feel shy and vulnerable towards him!
I shook these thoughts from my head and (once again) continued to work on the potion. It was nice to be able to spend some time with Potter without firing curses or insults at each other (okay, so he was barely acknowledging my existence, but still…).
A few minutes later I heard Potter ask, "So… why are you dating Hermione?" Gawd, why did he have to bring that up!
POV: Harry
I had to ask him, it was killing me that he had chosen Hermione over… well, me. Then again, why would he even want to go out with me, he hates me. He didn't have to out with one of my best friends though!
"So… why are you dating Hermione?" I asked, causing Draco to flinch. I know he probably doesn't want to talk about this, but I don't care! I have to know! "Is this some new way of torturing me? You could have anyone, and you chose Hermione. Why?"
Draco blushed and turned away from me. "You wrong, I can't have "anyone" I want," he whispered.
"Yeah right! Girls and guys are practically throwing themselves at you! Hell, even teachers are trying to get with you, all you have to do is ask!" So ask me! Gah, if only I could actually say something like that to him…
Draco sighed. "Yeah, but I don't want any of them… It's funny, really, how the only person I actually want to be with, is also the same person I know I can never have."
The one person he can never have? Well that automatically eliminates me. Like I said, all he has to do is say the word and I'd be on my knees.
He glanced at me and put on a fake smile. "But as fun as this conversation is getting, I think we should get back to work."
"Okay." Fine, if that's the way he wants it, I'll just put the conversation on pause.
The long minutes passed and finally I couldn't stand the silence any more. "Who's the person you're so infatuated with anyways?" I asked causally.
POV: Draco
"You," I whispered without thinking.
I froze, my eyes widening in horror. Did I just say that out loud! I could feel my face grow warm as I slowly turned to face Potter. He looked just as shocked as I felt.
I had to get out of there! Dropping everything I had in my hands, I ran for the door and tried to force it open, but Professor Snape's spells prevented from doing so. Shit!
I felt Potter grab my wrist as he spun me around to face him, pinning me to the door as he did so. I closed my eyes against the sudden rush of tears that threatened to overwhelm me. Fuck! Now not only is he going to reject me, but he's probably going to kill me for even thinking about him like that! Dammit!
POV: Harry
H-he's crying! I didn't hurt him when I pushed him against the door did I? Oh shit, what do I do!
I hesitated before reaching out and gently wiping away his tears. Draco's eyelids fluttered open. He looked at me, confusion clear in his stormy grey eyes.
"D-did you mean it," I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Draco slowly nodded his head. I smiled. "Please don't hex me for this…"
Closing my eyes, I leaned forward and gently pressed my lips against his.
POV: Draco
This is a dream right? Just another one of my fantasies? There's no way Harry could actually feel the same…
But then why was he kissing me? I closed my eyes and leaned against the door (I had to, my knees felt so weak I probably would've fallen if I hadn't). Time seemed to be going painfully slow as we stood there, our lips delicately caught together. Harry's tongue slide across my lower lip as he silently asked to make the kiss more meaningful; I was more then happy to oblige. I carefully opened my mouth and suppressed a moan as Harry began to explore my mouth with his tongue… and my body with his hands.
I was drunk with lust. Ever fiber in my body was screaming at me to just give myself to him, right here, right now. After all, if this is just on of my fantasies, then I'm technically not cheating on Hermione, right?
POV: Harry
What the hell am I doing! He's dating Hermione! Why the hell am I kissing him! I've been wanting this for practically forever and now that's it's finally happening, I'm scared senseless.
I could feel my body begin to tremble as I ran my hands down Draco's body, three years worth of lust and longing clouding my better judgment. Draco placed his hands on the back of my neck, pulling my mouth closer and deepening the kiss.
This has to be a dream, it's all too perfect.
POV: Author (aka: 3rd person)
Ohh, kiss me, beneath the twilight,
Harry and Draco slowly sank down to the floor, still locked in a passionate kiss.
Lead me, out on the moonlit floor,
Lift your open hand,
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon sparkling
Harry broke the kiss, breathing heavily as he ran his fingers through Draco's silky blond hair. "I love you," he whispered before recapturing Draco's mouth with his own.
So kiss me
POV: Harry & Draco
Please don't let this be just a dream.
