Part Fourteen

'In its accomplishment, for all spiritually evolved persons, the communion of bodies becomes the communion of the souls. The outward and visible sign has been the consummation of an inward and spiritual grace.'

Havelock Ellis

The morning when Draco would finally be allowed to leave the hospital wing, Luna greeted the two sleeping boys. As they awoke they saw that she had fresh clothing for both of them, and a smile that promised continued friendship. She was about to shake Draco's hand in a formal introduction when she stepped back.

'Ah, go take a shower! You smell like sex!' she commanded as she waved her hand over her face. 'I don't want to get horny right now,' she added quietly.

So after a shower that took longer because it was shared between the boys, Luna finally accepted the handshake from Draco. And thus starting a new and soon to be wonderful friendship. They were the perfect three corners of a triangle, all of them equal to the others. Much alike the Golden Trio, but far more wise to they ways of the world.

The three went down to have breakfast in the great hall. It was a good time to reappear, with the casualty that it had. There were fewer students to greet them, dimming the reaction a bit. When they entered, the room was loud with the busy muttering of various conversations. But a Hufflepuff announcing their arrival with a loud gasp soon interrupted it.

'HARRY!' cried Hermione and Ron with joy as they ran over to their friend. The two did not notice Harry taking Draco's hand to prevent him from running away.

'Oh Harry! I'm so glad that you're all right,' Hermione gushed as she hugged her friend.

'I was never hurt Hermione, Draco was and I didn't want to leave him.' Harry's upfront honesty surprised everyone including Draco, who was wonderfully thrilled for it. The blonde moved closer into his lover, and entwined his fingers around Harry's.

Hermione looked a bit put out by the admission, and finally noticing the lover's holding hands. She'd hoped that the woman that she and Ron had spied on was mistaken, but it seemed she wasn't. The muggle born witch accepted that it was Harry's decision, but that didn't mean that she had to like it. Draco had treated her horribly over the past six and a half years, and this would take getting used to if she ever did.

Ron was livid. This was the prat that had made his life hell over the years, and now Harry wanted to shack up with him? What on earth could make Harry betray him like this? Was the sex that great? With startling quickness for his usual hesitation, he'd pulled out his wand and pointed it at Draco. But he was horrified by the sudden weight of Harry's wand on his throat.

'I am the only one that can kill Voldemort, Ron. Do you really think that they would send me to Azkaban?' Harry growled threateningly. He really didn't want to hurt his friend; but he knew that if he threw his weight around a bit that Ron would more quickly accept this.

Shifting his eyes between Harry and Draco, Ron considered the possibilities. He guessed that he could out whit his friend, but he knew that Harry could be ruthless and had much more power behind his spells. And he could see that while outwardly Draco was cowering behind Harry, inwardly he was ready to defend himself with a strong spell of his own. And despite his dislike of the situation, Ron couldn't help but laugh and the realization of the kind of pair the two would make. So much like his own relationship with Harry; it was with much more brutality towards others and affection to each other.

'Alright Harry, just give me some time,' he exasperatingly grinned as he lowered his wand. 'And I'm not getting buddy-buddy with you Malfoy!' he warned as he waved his finger at the Slytherin.

'Likewise,' Draco said with a bit of defiance on his end of the deal.

'Well that seems to be worked out!' Luna said cheerfully. During the whole ordeal, she'd simply observed. But she had still been ready to defend her friend's lover had the need been there. 'Now lets get some food before we have to go to classes.'

With the stress of the moment passing, the others went to sit at the Gryffindor table as Harry and Draco still stood together. Draco smiled silent thanks at Harry, and then leaned in for a quick kiss on the edges of his mouth and cheek. Harry, who was still a bit high from the adrenalin, grinned at his lover after the peck. Then he pulled Draco close to his side, and kissed him with a heavy passion.

'Wow that's hot!' Luna nearly moaned as she looked up to see the couple making out. Hermione and Ron just looked away, slowing their eating a bit.

Later that day when classes were through, Harry and Draco secretly went to the Room of Requirement. They knew that Luna had guessed what they were up to, since it was she who'd distracted Hermione and Ron so that they could disappear. But they certainly did not outwardly say anything.

Both imagined a place where they would be comfortable and safe from prying eyes, but when they entered, neither really noticed the décor. Instead they stumbled in, their arms and lips already entwined. Their kiss was one of dueling equals, giving and taking lead as they went. Harry's hot spiciness tasted wonderful with Draco's cool, creamy flavor. And both of them moaned as they suddenly fell upon a soft bed, not fully realizing that they had still been shuffling over to it.

Draco wrapped his arms around Harry above him, angling his neck for deeper access to his mouth. It was wonderful, the kiss, and knowing that Harry seemed to now be taking the more masculine role. And he moaned his appreciation as he felt Harry's hand drift down to his hip.

Later, they would never remember actually taking off their clothing. It just seemed that they had vanished. However, the feeling of their naked bodies against each other they certainly did remember. Their hot skin pressed together, making their nerves burn with a lust never before felt. Hands pet and explored the dips and curves of each other's bodies. Harry particularly liked the feel of the place where Draco's ass and leg met, and lavished it with affection. And Draco apologetically kissed any scar that I found within reach, which sadly there were many.

Draco opened his legs for Harry, welcoming him to his paradise. Muttering the spell that he would later teach to Harry, Draco prepared himself for their first coupling. He then guided his suddenly apprehensive lover into himself, reveling at the wonderful ache that came with such a perfect cock within him. The fit was perfect, tight and hot without being painful. And Draco couldn't help but arch a bit in his pleasure, even as Harry buried his face into his neck.

'It's okay Harry,' he whispered encouragingly in his lover's ear. 'I'm yours to take.' He hadn't expected Harry to moan, or for the cock within him to twitch at that. But he didn't care so much when he felt Harry start to take shallow thrusts.

With every little movement, Harry brushed against that special bundle of nerves within Draco that made him writhe with pleasure. And with the brilliant heat of Draco's tight muscles around Harry, the brunet moaned with every push.

It was a night of gentle and slow lovemaking, each taking the time to discover the other. Harry took Draco three times over the course of the night, and each time they both had mind numbing orgasms. It wasn't until thee in the morning when they finally settled into a tired sleep. Draco's slightly red ass still full of Harry's seed, as they cuddled together.

End Part 14.

Oh nice long one for you guys! Just a little note, the line "I don't want to get horny right now" from Luna… is just an inside joke to my one friend that's reading this. I'm really sensitive to pheromones, and get horny when others are horny, or I smell sex.
