Chapter 6: Clear as Mist

Harry slowed his pace as he came to the entrance hall. It stood empty as usual. It had been well past supper time and the great hall was most likely almost cleared out. Only a few students would remain to share the gossip of the day to their friends.

Harry walked across the tile floor to the big wooden doors. Slowly he pushed one open and stepped out into the crisp air of the out doors. It had begun to snow; huge snow flakes floated down to great Harry, many landing on top of his messy hair. He wrapped his scarf tight around his neck before moving across the white grounds. Harry only knew one place where he could hide from his friends, from anyone. Deep in the Forbidden Forest.

Many times Harry had to retreat to the comfort of the forest. It was a dangerous idea but sticking around the castle proved many times to be much more risky.

Down the hill he traveled; the events of the last ten minutes repeated themselves until those of the past 48 hours raveled into his head. Everything had happened so fast. There was nothing Harry could have done stop was going to happen between him and Draco, but what of his feelings for the blonde. His mind still very much debated over the very moral decision of "his feelings". Harry's thoughts stayed with him through out his journey through the forest that was until they were interrupted.

Draco lay on his back when he opened his eyes. His clothes felt damp and sticky; with out realizing it he muttered out loud, "Where am I?"

There was some rustling near by his feet and then a voice, the last voice he would expect to hear. "Draco.are you alright?"

It was Harry! Draco's heart leaped into his throat but sank back down again when he remembered the night before.

His cold tone found it's place again when he looked up. Across from him, Harry sat huddled on a stump, the very same stump that Draco had come crashing down upon.

"Yes Potter, just peachy," he said dryly. He started to get up but fell back down again.

"You'd better not, you obviously hit your head pretty hard," Harry said standing to walk over.

"No shit."

Harry sat down at Draco's side, his hands in his pockets. His bright green eyes trailed off into thought. When he looked back they were filled with concern and worry. Harry opened his mouth and shut it again, as if he couldn't make up his mind to speak or not. "Draco.I." he said giving Draco the very same look he had given him early that morning.

"What is it Potter?" Draco hissed at him. Harry winced at the sound of his last name being said by him.

"Nothing.we should probably go to the-"

"It's obviously something Harry," Draco said his tone softer now.

Harry looked into his eyes, that look had come back. It was searching Draco, finding what it was looking for, and then cherishing it. Harry opened his mouth to speak again, this time being able to, "I just wanted to say.I'm sorry."

There was silence, a long promising silence that held there gazes together. Harry moved closer to Draco disturbing the silence; his eyes never leaving the other pair. He leaned close to Draco's face.

"Does this mean." Draco trailed off as he was silence by the sweet touch Harry's lips. He was kissing him, but was it what Harry really wanted.

Draco pulled back; cocking his head to the side he said, "Are you sure?"

Harry nodded, and leaned back in to kiss him again, when he pulled away again.

"Your not going to run out on me again, are you?" Draco said with a smirk.

"Shut up and kiss me you git," the brunette said grinning.

"Hey that wasn't a straight answer!"

Harry ignored Draco's comment and pulled on the green and silver tie. The Slytherin leaned into the kiss this time meeting the comfort of the other's lips against his. He wrapped his arm around Harry's waist, as Harry played his fingers through Draco's messy hair.

He pulled back as Harry accidentally touched the wound on the side of his head. "Ouch." he muttered, squeezing back the pain.

"Sorry, are you okay?"

"I'm fine Harry," he made to continue on but Harry didn't conquer.

"Maybe we should get you to the hospital wing," he said concerned.

"I said I'll be fine. What's a good whack to the noggin going to do?"

"You might have a-"

Draco planted a kiss on Harry's lips to silence him. He parted and looked Harry in the eyes before he said, "Harry, I'm fine, really."

"I'm glad Draco," Harry said leaning forward again.
