888 Chapter Twenty One – The Party, Part 3 888
The two re-entered the lounge turned party room to find it in full swing. Tonks was up on stage, singing her heart out, and people were dancing, those who were of legal drinking age, were drinking, most far on their way to drunk, while the others were just hyped up on sugar and/or the loud thumping music pumping through their veins.
Draco turned to Harry and asked, "Would you like to dance?" holding his hand out.
Harry took the offered hand with a smile and followed the blonde out into the middle of the dance floor. Harry enlaced Draco's neck and Draco placed his hands on Harry's waist. They continued dancing, both surprised at how well Tonks was singing, her favourite, Always, by Blink 182, of whom she had gone into mourning when they broke up (temporarily).
As the song ended, Harry kissed Draco on the cheek and stepped back. Draco looked to him confused, "What's wrong?" Harry smirked a true Malfoy smirk, causing Draco's jaw to drop, "You're not allowed to use that Harry! That's a Malfoy trademark!"
Harry continued smirking as he said, "I thought I would be counted as family now 'Co!" Draco smiled as a thought came to him.
"So you admit you are the girl in this relationship?" Harry bit his lip, he had not thought of that, so he decided to just play along, he wanted to be in the good books with his Anamchara before doing what he had been planing. "What ever makes you feel masculine hon." The smirk playing on his lips once again as he said out loud, "Just wait here love, I'll be back in a minute…" and with that said he turned and made his way back through the crowd and was soon lost from Draco's view.
Unbeknown to Draco was that the same treatment was happening to Percy, Pansy was also disappearing through the crowd. The two stood, near the middle of the dancers, they looked up to the stage when they saw Tonks getting down and their Anamcharas stepping up. Harry took one microphone and Pansy took another. The music stopped and people turned to the stage to see who was going up next. A few people cheered when they had seen Harry and Pansy up there, many people knew they were good singers, but none knew what they were about to do.
"Hey every one, this song is for Percy and Draco, Happy Birthday Babes!" Pansy said chirpily as the music began and Harry started off the song…
"You're just too good to be true…" Draco groaned, he should have known that they would be up to some thing like this…
"Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived,
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you..."
Harry and Pansy began singing duet now, for the second verse. Pansy walked down the steps while Harry jumped off the front of the stage, and landing elegantly before making his way through the crowd towards his love, as was Percy.
"Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you..."
The two made it to their loved ones at almost the same time, Percy and Draco's face the same shade of red as they both blushed in embarrassment, while smiling and feeling their love for their soul mate grow. During the instrumental part Harry whispered to Draco "Sorry love but I felt the need to make this birthday special and unforgettable."
"I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you…"
Harry stopped singing, leaving the next part to Pansy.
"You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived,
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you…"
Harry and Pansy finished the song together, both standing in front of their love, Harry holding his mike in his right hand while his left ran through Draco's hair, Draco smiled more and leant into the touch, closing his eyes, every one in the room was watching, no one doubted the love the couples felt.
"I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay."
When the song ended, both dropped the microphones, which disappeared just before hitting the ground and reappeared on their stands on the stage. Harry wrapped his arms around Draco's neck once more and their lips met in a heated kiss, love coursing through their veins. Pansy mean while looked up to Percy with a smirk on her face. He looked down, wondering why people had questioned their relationship, 'I suppose they only ever see her as the evil Slytherin girl that she had once been acting as.' Percy thought to himself.
"Thank you love, for such a wonderful present for my birthday."Percy said to his Anamchara before they to kissed. Helena walked up onto the stage and picked up one of the microphones and said with a tear in her eye, "Now wasn't that sweet and oh so cute!" Some people laughed at this, others just smiled, shaking their head. "Okay, now that they have completed that part of their presents, let's go back to some more karaoke! Who wants to go next? Hmm… What about you Bill?"
And so the night continued on as it had before, people wondering through the house and out into the back yard, which thankfully had a silencing and notice-me-not spell over it so no muggle noticed it, but more people accepted the two newly known relationships. No-one couldn't after the show of emotion and love that had just played in front of so many people. Harry and Draco broke apart, once breathing became a necessity both blushing slightly, but were thankful that most people were preoccupied with the music and letting loose for one night. Ginny had been a little down cast for a while, Harry noticed while he danced with Draco to Bill's singing of Franz Ferdinand 'Take Me Out', but as the night progressed, she loosened up, with the help from Crabbe, one of the few Slytherins Harry and Pansy had invited for Draco.
The Slytherins that were invited arrived after dinner, so that Harry's surprise couldn't be spoilt or dulled, and the arrival of the four extra were a greater surprise to Draco and now there was also an explanation for Draco and the other guests as to why they were there. Harry was glad that they had come though. He didn't know how he'd go if Vincent hadn't been there to help Ginny get her mind off of him, but he was also very glad that Ron was distracted with his brother being back and with Hermione in a corner some where.
Theodore Nott, Gregory Goyle, Millicent Bulstrode, were good to have there because Draco now had some people to talk to who weren't still suspicious of him, and don't worship his boyfriend. Harry found that they were fun to hang out with and spread the attention of the people at the party around more people.

The next morning when Harry woke, he thought for a second that he was in the wrong room, when he remembered what transformations had been done by a particular blonde Slytherin that he was in the arms of at that time. Harry smiled and snuggled into Draco's arms as he thought of how the night had gone. Many people had ended up staying the night, and Harry was just glad that there were multiple rooms in the house, well that and they weren't too concerned if they had to sleep in the lounge room… since most were overly drunk or way too tired to care.
After a few minutes of laying in calm a few crashes and yells could be heard, and Harry felt Draco begin to shift as he awoke from his slumber. "Morning gorgeous" Harry said with a smirk as Draco groaned and shoved his head under the pillows. "And here I was thinking you were the morning one in this relationship!" Draco punched Harry in the arm as he sat up. "There you are beautiful." Harry said before smiling a brilliant smile, that didn't suit the time of day or what had happened the night before.
"How the bloody hell can you be so cheerful love?" Draco asked as he lay back beside Harry and put his hand on his chest. Harry just continued smiling. They laid like that for untold amount of time before Harry remembered why his dragon was woken.
"I think we should go down stairs to see what the crash was…" Harry said quietly, turning to Draco and pecking him on the lips before sitting up and stepping out of bed. Draco groaned again and tried to get further down in the blankets on the bed. Harry laughed and just fished down through the silk, finding what he had been looking for and attacked.
"Harry… would… you… STOP IT!" Draco yelled squirming as Harry tickled him.
"Well at least now I know you are ticklish, you do know I can and will use this against you." Harry laughed as Draco climbed out of bed, grumbling, and yet his movements were still graceful. Harry wrapped his arms around Draco and kissed his neck softly before heading over to the now black dresser. He shuffled through the drawers, picking out clothes for himself and Draco as he went.
He handed Draco his own clothes and headed for the shower. "I'll be back in a minute love," He said over his shoulder as he walked through the door.

Once both boys were showered and dress, Harry in dark blue jeans and a plain black button up shirt, and Draco in a pair of green cargos and white singlet, the two made their way down the stairs to the kitchen and found what had been the loud banging and yelling; the twins had decided to try out some of their new inventions, causing Mrs Weasley to yell at them. Harry smiled as Fred and George, who towered over their mother, was cowering, smirking and backing away, all at the same time.
"Morning mum, Fred, George, Helena." Harry said nodding at each as he walked over to the place of destruction "…So what is it? What is it supposed to do?" Harry asked eyeing the destruction zone.
The twins grinned while the two females in the room grimaced. "We were trying out our mini duke box, which holds every song that you know of, it knows all of them by a quick scan of your mind. But when we tried to get all of the songs that Helena knows… well… it sort of got over loaded… it can't hold that many songs yet…" The twins explained, grinning, and grimacing slightly at the same time, as Helena's face turned slightly pink in embarrassment.
Harry chuckled at this, he knew that the twins wouldn't bother making some thing like that with out making sure that it had a lot of memory, and to have one person be able to over ride it… well it just shows that the person in question has a little bit… no wait… a big obsession with music. Draco stood next to his Anamchara shaking his head with a smirk playing on his lips.
"Good one Helena! Don't be ashamed though… think of it like this… you out witted the Weasley twins.
Five jaws dropped at this, no one had thought of it like that. Fred and George exchanged looks and turned to Helena, "How would you feel with helping us to develop some of our ideas?" the two asked in their normal manor of speech of alternating between them, both offered her an arm. Helena looked up at them and grinned. She nodded and linked arms up with them. The three left the room, talking about ideas of how to improve the machine.
Mrs Weasley looked to the two remaining boys in the room, "Good morning boys, how did you sleep last night… I'm sorry if they woke you." She said with a slight jerk of the head towards the door that the two she was talking about had just left through.
"It's okay mum, I was already awake, and I think it was about time that we got out of bed any way." Harry said with a smile. Draco just said, "Morning mum." and stood behind Harry with his arms around the raven haired boys waist and chin on his shoulder.
Molly stood in front of the oven, setting up for breakfast, and only just restrained herself from cooing, knowing that the two would be: a) embarrassed and b) angry. Two things that she did not want at that time of morning with so many people around, and she knew hat if she reacted then they would become uncomfortable and separate.
"Would you like any help mum?" Harry asked after a few minutes of chatting about the night before. Molly just looked up to her surrogate son and smiled, "It's okay Harry, why don't you two go around and see who's alive or awake and tell them food will be ready soon and hang over potions will be here for those who need them too."
Harry and Draco nodded and made there way out of the room and into the most populated room in the house, the lounge room. There was a little movement, mostly the younger generations, since they hadn't been able to drink, and so didn't have major hang-overs. Harry walked over to Ginny and Crabbe, who were cuddled up on a lounge at the back of the room, he shook her shoulder softly ad whispered, "Ginny, hey Ginny, wake up, I don't think that it would be a good idea for Ron to find you two like that…"
Ginny sat up groggily and looked around. Her eyes widened in shock, then she blushed slightly as she remembered what had happened, and finally she looked up to Harry, and realized that he was her brother, from one night, he had gone from her obsession, to her brother. She was happy though and smiled, "Thanks Harry. I'm going to go and help mum out in the kitchen. Vince, hey Vince…" Harry smiled and left the two to their waking up and dealing with every thing and walked around the room, telling those that were waking up about the food that was being prepared and the potions that they could access to.
Once most of those in the lunge room who seemed to be most likely to wake up were up, Harry and Draco made their way up to the upstairs rooms, going from one to another, knocking, waiting, entering, informing and leaving. Once they had done this they walked back down to the kitchen and saw that there were too many people, even for the large room. Harry got every ones attention and said loudly, "Okay every one, obviously there is not enough room in here for every one, so I'll go fix up the dining room and we can all eat there." He turned around and left the room, with Draco following behind.
Harry was glad that Ron wasn't very observant in the mornings other wise he would have noticed something between his little sister and Draco's friend. Some thing that he wasn't sure how the Weasley would take, since he was still slightly off about Harry and Draco's relationship. Hermione had on the other hand noticed, and she realized the same thing as Harry, and kept Ron's attention as much as she could, and kept it away from Ginny.
The breakfast had gone well, around twenty people were still there, and most of who were Weasley's or had become part of the Weasley family in some way. People talked about the night before, also discussed more about the relationships of Harry and Draco and Pansy and Percy. Draco smiled as he realized some thing. "I'm guessing that the reason that Pansy was here earlier yesterday was so that you could plan and practice?" Harry smirked and answered "What makes you think that Dray?"
"The fact that when I first opened the door after I finished the back yard, there had been music playing and as soon as the door closed it stopped." Draco answered, matching the smirk.
The two then found themselves being clouted over the back of the head, "Would you two stop smirking like that, it's quite weird the fact that it is identical." Came the laughing voice of Pansy, one of the very few who would dare to touch Draco's hair and expect to live.
