Seven: A Long Kept Secret

'This is…this is unbelievable!' Draco roared.

'Malfoy please calm down,' Harry pleaded.

'It's unforgivable! Bloody outrageous!' Draco exclaimed, he was pacing and yelling across from Harry, who was definatly beginning to regret revealing this particular secret.

'It's not all that bad Malfoy,' Harry persisted.

'Damn right it is!' Draco yelled 'It's fucking terrible!'

'It's over, in the past, no use getting all worked up over it now,' Harry insisted.

'Fuck that!' Draco roared 'How could they do that! How could you let them do that?'

'Well I really wasn't in a position to object was I?' Harry rolled his eyes.

'A cupboard?' Draco raged 'Neglect, starvation, emotional and physical abuse!'

'Oh please it wasn't that extreme! And they never got physical with me,' Harry dismissed.

'I thought you said your cousin beat you up?'

'Well…umm…'

'That's it! I'm going to really give them a reason to fear magic!' Draco promised.

'Honestly Malfoy the Dursley's aren't that bad, they could have done a lot worse,' Harry pointed out.

'Not in my opinion!' Draco hissed.

'Why do you care anyway?' Harry asked 'I thought you wanted me to suffer as much as possible,'

'I do, just the only person who's allowed to make you suffer is me!' Draco growled.

'Yeah well you might want to tell Voldermort that,' Harry sighed.

'I intend to,' Draco promised quietly.

'What?'

'Nothing Potter,' Draco covered, 'Just plotting the deaths of your family,'

'Don't be ridiculous Malfoy,' Harry scoffed 'They're not worth your time,'

'True, however that won't stop me from teaching them a serious lesson in life, or death as the case may be,' Draco smirked.

'Malfoy,' Harry warned.

'Oh alright Potter, if you insist upon them living I'll be lenient and settle for scaring them for life,' Draco gave. Harry knew he should scold Draco and tell him to back off but he couldn't help the large grin that spread across his face.

'On one condition,' Harry spoke severely. 'You let me watch,'

'You've got yourself a deal Potter,' Draco laughed.

'Alright then I believe it's your turn Malfoy,' Harry resumed. They had being dishing out secrets for the past half hour, and were becoming rather comfortable with each other. After the rather large confessions of death eater refusals and prophecy details they had kept it light, like secret crushes as children or secret places they went to for solitude or secret favourite teachers (Draco actually believed Professsor Lupin a decent DADA teacher although he would never tell his father he thought so). Suddenly Harry had the urge to explain to Draco the details of his childhood, who to Harry's total surprise did not take the news well.

'Ah yes…to return us on even ground I suppose I should tell you that I have attended one Death Eater meeting,' Draco confessed. 'At which I met Voldermort,'

'It's not very pleasant is it?' Harry mumbled.

'Not in the least,' Draco agreed 'I already knew then that I wasn't going to serve him, but what I saw that night just added to my list of reasons supporting the ministry and Dumbledore,'

'You weren't the only one were you?' Harry asked.

'No, it was a gathering of new recruits, sons and daughters of Death Eaters, testing their wills and strength, and power,' Draco explained 'Fortunately, he didn't make us kill anyone, that was my greatest fear,'

'He made you use the other curses though didn't he? The unforgivables,' Harry knew.

'Yeah, after that it wasn't too hard to convince Blaise to join Dumbledore with me,' Draco shrugged 'That's why I asked Weasley to bring him instead of Pansy, not only is she annoying, she's also extremely untrustworthy,'

'It's difficult to know who you can trust and who you can't,' Harry said remembering the fate of his parents.

'You're referring to Pettigrew?' Draco asked. Harry nodded.

'Yeah,'

'I lied to you Potter,' Draco admitted.

'What?' Harry asked shocked 'Oh god you are a Death Eater aren't you?'

Draco just laughed,

'No Potter! I mean your cloak, it's not behind the Salazar Slytherin statue, it's behind the Godric Gryffindor statue on the second floor,'

'Oh,' Harry frowned 'Wait a second, you just told me two secrets,'

'That wasn't a secret Potter,' Draco explained 'I just wanted to tell you,'

'Oh, well thank-you,'

'You're Welcome,'

'I suppose it's my turn again?'

'Yep,'

'Alright, when we were in second year, and the students were being attacked by the basilisk, we I mean Hermione, Ron and I all thought that you were behind the attacks,' Harry began.

'Yeah I know,'

'Anyway, we wanted to make sure so Ron and I used the Polyjuice Potion and became Crabbe and Goyle to question you,' Harry confessed looking at the floor.

'Really,' Draco asked particularly shocked.

'Yeah,' Harry admitted 'But it only proved us wrong, and before you go on and start yelling it might consolidate you to know that Hermione got transformed into a freaky half girl half cat due to an unfortunate incident involving Bulstrode's cat,'

'Hmm,' Draco said before he burst out into laughter.

'Hey it wasn't that funny,' Harry mumbled.

'It's not that,' Draco explained 'It's your face, you look so guilty, you really needn't Potter. I completely understand,'

'You do?' Harry asked.

'Yes, well…I'm actually kind of curious, I probably won't be able to remember but could you try to tell me which time it was you?'

'Ahh…well…you said something about wishing Hermione to be next and Ron or Crabbe cracked his knuckles?' Harry offered.

'I don't really remember that, I think I said that a few times that year,' Draco flushed looking to the floor, 'But…you wouldn't have been wearing you glasses as Goyle at one point were you?'

'Yeah I was,' Draco laughed again.

'I asked Goyle what happened to his glasses, I actually convinced him that he had lost his glasses, when he must have never had them in the first place,'

They both laughed at that, it would have been impossible not to.

'Alright Malfoy your turn,' Harry managed after a long recovery.

'Huh? Oh yeah, umm…' Draco sat there thinking for a while 'I think I'm nearly void of secrets,'

'Oh come on, we've barely touched the surface,' Harry said sarcastically 'What about what Ron said? Death eater plans, sexual exploits and killing innocents?'

Draco raised an eyebrow at Harry, who just grinned.

'Well we've cancelled out the death eater plans and the killing of innocents…'Harry blushed and looked at the floor again, not really knowing whether or not he wanted to know this.

'I guess that leaves my infamous sexual exploits then?' Draco smirked. Harry's heart plummeted to his toes.

'There are no exploits Potter,' Draco revealed 'The tales of my social life are greatly over exaggerated,'

Harry looked up at Draco with a very strung blush,

'H-how over exaggerated?' Harry asked weakly.

'I remain to this day a virgin,' (Author: Could there be a double meaning in that?)

Harry's heart rose back up into his chest and began to beat far stronger than before.

'Really?' Harry asked.

'Yep, although I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't spread that around Potter,' Draco asked 'My reputation is rather important to me,'

'Ah sure, can I ask why?' Harry doubted he had any blood left circulating in his veins, he was certain it had all rushed to his head, no doubt he was positively glowing red.

'I suppose I'm waiting for the right person,' Draco supplied 'Although I doubt it's going to happen,'

'You don't think you'll find the right person?'

'It's not a matter of finding them Potter,' Draco spoke, a faint pink rose to his cheeks.

'Ah,' Harry said completely confused, he didn't understand Draco at all so he felt safe with his response. 'Well, not that it's much of a secret but I'm one too, a virgin I mean,'

'Yes, I doubt that news like that would keep from the daily prophet,' Draco smiled 'The day Harry Potter looses his virginity the paper will print 'Boy who lived becomes a Man' or 'Boy who lived, becomes Boy who got shagged' or 'Boy who lived meets Girl who got lucky,'

Harry laughed before he his blush became an inferno.

'I think your last title might need a bit of adjusting,' Harry confessed.

'Oh really?' Draco asked.

'Yeah, next secret I suppose…I'm gay,' Harry announced. Draco's heart rate increased impressively. Harry was gay, he might have a chance. Draco remembered the look Harry gave him at lunch and almost moaned at the thought of what it could mean. Draco felt his pants become incredibly tight.

'Malfoy?' Harry asked. Draco realised he hadn't given Harry a reply.

'Well, well Potter, it seems we have more things in common than we realised,' Draco smirked seductively. Harry gasped at the look Draco was sending him and bit his lip. That gorgeous, perfect, lip.

'Y-you mean…you're gay too?'

'A-huh,' Draco said moving from his couch toward Harry slowly and with purpose. Harry stared into Draco's eyes with a numbing fear, fear that Harry could mistake this, fear that it wasn't real, but mostly fear that Draco would pull away. Draco held Harry's gaze and never broke it for a second as he sat on his knees next to the beautiful blushing boy before him, he supported his hands on the armrest behind Harry, boxing him between Draco's arms.

'My next secret,' Draco whispered, as his mouth was so close to Harry's 'I've kept for the longest time,'

'A-huh,' Harry sighed. So close, they were so close, just another inch.

'I don't hate you,' Draco breathed and pressed his body against Harry's, brushing them together causing the most glorious friction. Harry gasped and arched up to Draco.

'I like you,' Draco whispered, 'Very much,'

Draco brushed there bodies together again, and their erections met for a moment, through their clothes. Harry moaned and forced it to happen again, emitting a groan from Draco.

'I like you too,' Harry whispered 'Very much,'

Draco grazed his lips over harry's.

'I've wanted so long to taste you,' he confessed.

Harry touched his lips to Draco and spoke against them 'Let's not wait longer,'

Draco kissed Harry tenderly and softly, saving every moment, recording it in his mind. He swept his tongue over Harry's bottom lip, just as in the dream, and Harry opened up for him with a gasp. Draco's tongue swept inside, caressing and tasting all that was Harry. Their tongues touched and the world went fuzzy. 'This is true magic' Harry thought. Harry wrapped his arms up around Draco's waist and Draco deepened the kiss. It became stronger and more frantic, the clung to each other, tasting and consuming all that they could. They became feverish, each wanting so much more. Draco moaned and pressed their hips together, rubbing erections against one another resuming that intoxicating friction. Harry pulled his mouth from Draco and cried out, so good, it felt so good. Harry's hands slid down from his waist and cupped Draco's arse.

'Oh god!' Draco muttered, as Harry began ministrations, caressing and sqeezing Draco's behind.

Draco bent his head and tasted the skin on Harry's neck. Harry moaned, and sped up his hips to increase the friction, Draco grasped Harry's hips and sped up to match him. Draco continued to kiss Harry's neck, the taste of sweat and skin so addictive and erotic Draco groaned and thrust hard into Harry's hips, who gasped in response.

'Harry,' Draco whispered 'I can't take much more of this,'

'Uh!' Harry agreed.

Harry pressed his lips against Draco's and slipped his tongue into Draco's eager mouth. Tongue's touching and caressing, there was so much heat. Draco slipped his hand between their bodies, reached down to slip under Harry's jeans and past Harry's boxers, he delicatelybegan to stroke Harry's throbbing shaft. Harry cried out and thrust into Draco's hand. Their actions sped up and Harry felt himself blissfully close to release. Draco felt equally effected just watching Harry moan and whimper beneath him.

'I…I need you Harry,' Draco asked 'I need to be inside you,'

'Oh yes,' Harry whispered 'God I need you so much,'

Draco groaned at Harry's eager words and rested his head on Harry's shoulder, as he continued to pull and tease and work magic from Harry.

'Oh god Harry I lo-,'

'Harry! Malfoy! Guess what! We've figured it out!' Hermione exclaimed bounding into the room.
