! The Consequences of Boredom !

AN/ Sorry for taking so long to update, I've had a busy week, I know, it's been over a week, so I'm having this chapter as long as I can. All reviewers rule! Thank you to Bella of the Night, I will keep all of what you said in my head when I write, this chapter is for you! Thank you! And yes I know they are moving fast but there are reasons… apart from the fact I'm impatient and so are most of m friends… but there is a reason which will be revealed in time.

I own nothing you may recognise, it is all from the wonderful labyrinth of a mind of which is J.K Rowling's.

On with the story!

888 Chapter Thirteen –Pre-Shopping Extravaganza!888

Harry awoke to find Draco getting up. "What time is it?" Harry asked tiredly, thinking about going back to sleep.

"Almost eight" Draco answered, grinning when Harry groaned and fell back onto his pillow. "No you don't, we have a lot to do today, so get up!" After seeing that Harry wasn't going to get up on his own, he decided to force him to. Draco stood up and walked to the end of the bed, completely unnoticed by Harry, he then grasped the end of the blankets and pulled, hard.

The doona came off in one swift and fluid movement, leaving Harry laying on his bed, with out a blanket.

"Draco!" Harry whined, "Why did you do that?" Harry half yelled, sitting up and glaring at his boy friend, he was not cold, but he had been comfortable wrapped up in his doona.

Draco just smiled sweetly and said, "Just thought it was time for you to get up, had a feeling that you wouldn't on your own so I did what I could to persuade you to."

Grumbling, Harry got up and out of bed, "Bloody Slytherins, why did I choose him?" Harry muttered to himself.

Draco just continued smiling as he made his way out the door, picking up his towel as he went.

After having their showers (followed by some good snogging from being away from each other for the ten minutes that it took each of them), a hearty breakfast (for Draco at least who at bacon, eggs and pancakes, while Harry had just some pancakes) and some talking with Tonks and Remus before they headed off to work (be that ministry or order), Harry and Draco teleported to Diagon Alley.

As the two made their way out of the apperating room that lead off the main room, a hush crept its way across the room as people noticed Harry and Draco walking through the room, holding hands. The two had agreed that it would be best if they just did what they wanted and didn't try and hide it from any one, since that would lead to more confusion and attention for when it did come out later. As soon as they were out of the back door and closed the door, they heard the babble return, this time concerning what had just happened.

The two smiled at the effect they had caused on the people as they tapped on the brick. The wall sunk away, opening the way into the village. There were people every where, in the shops, in the doorways, in the walkway, in the windows, Harry realised that it wasn't such a good idea to leave shopping till so late in the holidays, when every one was doing their last minute shopping and socialising before going back to school.

The pair squeezed their way through the crowd, but after a few minutes of walking, they soon found the crowd parting for them, as the witches and wizards stared at the two, who still had their hands linked. Whispers began, which lead to talking, soon people were trying to get answers from the pair, about their relationships, but the two could not be stopped. They continued to walk down the street, passing more and more excited and disgusted faces. Harry looked behind him and smirked, "Look at the amount of attention we are getting, I knew that we would get lot, but not this much… god!"

Draco smiled and nodded "I didn't think that so many people would be here!" But after looking at Draco's face, Harry realised that Draco didn't really mind all the attention.

"Come on we better get out school shopping done now, before it gets too busy, its early morning and there are already all these people, imagine what it's going to be like later in the day!" Draco nodded in agreement and the two made their way to the book store to get the books they needed.

After two hours of shopping for school supplies the couple made their way back to the Leaky Cauldron, followed by a crowd of people who wanted more information then they had given. Harry smiled as he remembered the silence that had resounded across the mob that had followed them when they had told them what was going on… well the basics.

"Draco and I Have been dating for the past few days, we are not afraid to say this, we accept our relationship and so do our friends, if you have any problems with our decisions, you will have to answer to both of us!" The pair looked down to the crowd as they stood upon a podium type thing that Harry had conjured, having had enough of the questioning and wanted to be able to be seen as they made the announcement.

Once the crowd had gotten over the initial shock, a few women and girls groaned (along with a few men) in disappointment and went back with their shopping for the day, while other members of the crowd started to bombarded them with more questions. Harry and Draco just said that they would not be answering any more questions that day, and that more information will be given at a later date and there was no point trying.

And with that the two stepped down from the podium, Harry waved his hand, vanishing the previously conjured item. The two then walked away, Harry's arm around Draco's waist, with his head resting on the blondes shoulder.

Draco looked to Harry questioningly, after noticing his lift in spirit. Harry just said basically and nonchalantly "Just remembering the reactions." Draco also smiled then, also remembering the incident. The two walked into the leaky cauldron, and not even stopping, continued out the door, all the way Draco protesting silently to Harry. But Harry just nodded to Tom the bar keeper and continued out the door into the muggle world, ignoring the please from Draco about not buying all of what he had picked out for Harry and not letting him buy the bundle that was in their pockets already (it had been shrunken for convenience at the shop).

"Why didn't you buy that robe Harry, it looks wonderful on you! And you just said an outright no, why!" Harry just smirked and continued on his way. He was fairly shocked when it was Draco who suggested they had lunch in muggle London before then clothes shopping there too. Turned out Draco preferred the muggle clothing, sort of, and that he was quite a shop-aholic.

"Come on love, stop complaining, I didn't buy those robes because I really don't need that many different robes, and they were much too expensive for a some thing I would wear once, and that's it. So stop whining and help me choose where to go!" Draco continued grumbling but he soon struck a different topic as the muggles gave them queer looks, main reason being how they were walking. Harry still had his head rested on Draco's shoulder, while Draco had his arm around Harry's back with his hand resting on his hip with Harry's hand resting on top, rubbing his thumb over Draco's knuckles.

"Who do they think they are, judging us like they are? God people like that piss me off! Bloody homophobic …"

"Draco…" at the slight warning tone in that one word Draco stopped on that road and turned onto about how people don't understand that their relationship is the same as every one else's, well except for the bonding part… but that is not counted (or at least not in this one sided argument that Draco was having, while Harry attempted to find some where for them to eat, that had vegetarian food. Eventually Harry realised that there really wasn't any where that wasn't just a cheap little feed or a huge five course meal restaurant any where, so instead, he lead Draco, discreetly back towards The Leaky Cauldron. Draco only noticed some thing was up when they walked in, he was still complaining about some thing… Harry wasn't sure what though but he liked the way that Draco's voice sounded (although it was all in his head) (AN/ how crazy does that make him sound?) and didn't bother trying to get him to stop, but the once continuous voice stopped abruptly as they walked into the shabby establishment.

"Um Harry, love, what are we doing here?"

"Well there is no where suitable here, so I'm taking us some where else, some where special." And with that said, Harry stood up straight, grabbed Draco's hand and walked to the apperating room. He closed that door, pulled Draco into his awaiting arms and teleported them away.
