Chapter 2
Harry woke up to find the sun shining brightly through the boys dormitory window. He lifted himself onto him elbows and looked around to find that all the other boys had already left and were probably already eating breakfast at the great hall. Harry didn't care though. He got dressed into his school robes and grabbed his school bag. He left the Gryffindor Common Room and decided that he didn't want to go to the great hall with everyone else. Instead, he took a walk. I wonder what was with Draco last night. Harry thought to himself. Maybe he was delusional. Or maybe he wasn't ever looking at me, but someone past me. But Harry could of sworn that Draco had nodded to him. Maybe- His thoughts were interrupted as he ran into someone. He roughly fell to the ground and from the sound, knew that the other person had too. Harry regained his breath then slowly got to his knees and looked at who he had carelessly ran into.
"Malfoy?" Harry said in bewilderment. Draco looked up at Harry then went back to picking up his fallen books. "Look, I'm real sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." Harry said. Gosh I am an idiot. Wait, since when did I start apologizing to Draco ? And since when have I called him Draco !
"Don't worry about it ok." Draco said with a hint of annoyance. Draco stood up from where he was on his knees and dusted himself off. Harry just let it pass and finished picking up his books.
"So.. how was your summer?" He said, trying to make some smalltalk. Maybe something happened over the summer that is effecting him.
"Well, if you must know Potter I quit the forces with Voldemort. " Draco said as he slung his bag over his shoulder and started walking away.
Yeah, that could effect him! Harry thought. "Malfoy, wait up !" Harry stood up and ran after Draco then slowed down to a walk beside him. "You quit with Voldemort? But why? Wasn't your father mad?"
"Yes Potter, I quit! And of course he was mad ! I just decided that I didn't want to be a part of his future plans. Just because my father is a loyal servant doesn't mean that I have to be as well." Draco said as he continued walking.
Harry thought about this and was still skeptical about the whole situation. Draco.. quit Voldemort and go against his father's wishes? No way. Harry thought. But Malfoy seemed to be telling the truth. And even if he wasn't, how was he supposed to find out what the truth was? "Well Draco maybe we could be friends now. I mean, with you now on the light side and everything. Maybe we could start over." he said hopefully. Why am I wanting to be friends with Draco anyways? I must be losing my mind.
"First of all, Since when are we on a first name basis? And second of all, I never said that I was on the light side." Draco replied, "All I said was that I quit Voldemort's forces." Draco stopped and looked up for the first time at Harry. "But maybe I could come to the light side. If I had a reason to. "
Harry was puzzled by Draco's last statement. Was Draco just doing this for blackmail? What did he want? Maybe he really does want to be friends. I don't see why though. After all of these year of being rivals. Why would he just- Harry's thoughts were stopped when he found lips against his. Draco is kissing me.. why aren't I pushing away ! Draco's lips were soft and warm unlike what Harry was expecting. Gosh he is a good kisser. Wait, I am kissing Draco ! Harry quickly pushed Draco off and stared at him disbelievingly.
"Oh.. I'm sorry Harry. I'm so sorry."Draco said hurriedly and walked off. He called me Harry, and he apologized. Maybe he really does like me like that. Harry yelled, "Draco, wait !" He quickly caught up to Draco and turned his around to face him. "Draco, I don't care that you kissed me. To tell you the truth, I have liked you ever since first year, but I never had the guts to tell you. And considering you and me were supposed to be rivals, I didn't think that it could work out between us." Harry felt relieved as he finally got this confession off of his chest.
Draco stared at the boy now shorter than him with wide open eyes. "Really?" he asked
Harry looked at Draco and gave him a smile. "Yes. Now that question is Draco, do you want to take this further? Do you think that this will work?" Oh please say yes. Harry thought. Please, please.
"Yes." the blonde boy said to him and gave him a true smile. Not a smirk, but a smile. The first one that Harry had ever seen. Harry was ecstatic, but he wasn't sure what to do. What are we supposed to talk about after kissing one another? Finally he just decided to kiss the boy. He pulled Draco to him and gave him a soft yet passionate kiss. After they pulled apart, Harry said to his boyfriend,"I love you. I always have."
Draco looked in disbelief at the boy, but then composed himself and replied,"I love you too Harry." Harry smiled back at him and they walked back to the school hand in hand.
After Harry and Draco went there separate ways to get ready for their next class, Harry had some time to think. Wow, finally me and Draco are together. But what will Hermione and Ron say? They don't even know that I like guys. Oh boy. Harry knew that he would have to tell his two friends sooner or later. But he wasn't sure when he should do it.
He walked up to the Gryffindor Common Room knowing that they would be there waiting for him and as he stepped inside he found the two snogging on the couch. "Oh get a room." Harry said playfully.
The two quickly pulled apart, startled at the sudden interruption, but then laughed at the intruder.
"Harry," Hermione said,"where have you been?"
"Yeah mate, when you weren't at breakfast we figured that you just weren't hungry, but when we came back to get you-"
"You two decided to snog for a bit." Harry finished with a sense of humor in his voice. The two friends blushed at the comment made towards them, but nodded. "Oh it's no big deal. I just went for a walk. And i ran into someone.." Harry trailed off. Here we go..
"Who Harry?" Hermione said, obviously wanting to hear every word of it.
"Well," Harry started. "I ran into Draco."
The other friends looked at Harry and then Ron quickly said, "Malfoy you mean? Did he do anything to you Harry? Because I swear if he touched one hair on your head-"
"No Ron ! He didn't hurt me. I promise." Harry said, trying to calm down his friend. "It's just, well I didn't tell you this, but last night at the feast, we met eyes. He didn't do anything. He didn't scowl at me or make fun of me. He just nodded."
"Hm.." Hermione thought. "That's strange."
"Yeah, that's what I thought. So this morning I literally ran into him and instead of saying 'Sod off Potter.' or 'Watch where you are going.' He just calmly said that I shouldn't worry about it. And get this you guys. He quit the forces with Voldemort."
"No way." said Ron.
"Harry, just because Draco said that he quit the forces doesn't mean that he really did. He could be telling you this so you two could become friends or something and then lead you to Voldemort." Hermione said. Always has to act so smart. Harry thought to himself.
"I know Hermione I thought of that. But the way he said it. You know how you can tell if someone is lying or not?" He asked. When he got two nods in return, he continued. "Well, I could tell that he was telling me the truth. But anyways, there is more to the story. Well, after he told me this.. he kissed me."
The red-head looked like he was about to explode while the bushy one just smiled her all-knowing smile. It's as if she knew it all along.
"He what!" Ron exclaimed. "Did you punch him Harry? Did you tell him to sod off?"
"No Ron. I kissed him back." Harry said. Here is comes..
Ron stared at Harry. "You what? So you are telling me that you are one of them? One of the freak perverts ?"
"Ronald !" Hermione yelled." Stop that right now !"
"No Hermione. I will not stop. All these years I have been friends with a twisted pervert. I even slept in the same room with him! We've done everything together. And all this time you have been gay!" Ron looked furiously at Harry. He then gave him a punch which split open Harry's lip and would be very sore for the next few days. Ron turned around, satisfied of the mark he had left, and stormed out of the Common Room.
Everything was quiet. The two friends just stood there not knowing what to say. Harry was nursing his bleeding lip while Hermione was trying to think of something intelligent and helpful to say.
"Harry, I just want you to know that I don't care if you like girls or guys. You are my friend and you always will be okay?" she said to Harry. Harry nodded and smiled at her. "Now go get yourself cleaned up and I will see you in class." She gave him a quick hug, then left.
Harry slumped down onto the sofa and put his head in his hands. This is going to be harder than I thought.
A/N - So what do you think? I know this one wasn't too long as well.. but please just stay with the story. There is so much more to come. Soon Quiddich will be coming in to view with the two boys playing each other. And of course Voldemort and some death eaters will appear. And what will Draco's dad think of all this? Please stick around to find out !
