CHAPTER FOUR: A DiNNER DATE? EXCiTiNG!

Over the next couple of days, Draco and Harry would sometimes accidentally bump into each other on the way to class and they would just stare at each other. None would yell or say something rude, only if one of them with a fellow friend. It was something they came accostumed too because the bumping allowed them to be near each other for a spilt second. Both boys enjoyed it, even if it was nothing more for now.

"Watch where you're going stupid Potter, if I didn't know any better, you were trying to cap a feel on me." Draco was being mean to Harry only because Harry was accompained by Hermione and Ron.

"Whatever Malfoy, you always run into me, it's like YOUR stalking me. Let's try to have this our last bump in, alrite!" Harry stormed off with Hermione and Ron and when Ron and Hermione weren't looking, Harry turned around slightly and smiled at Draco. Draco smiled back and gave him a small wave, a wave that Hermione saw but not Ron.

The trio continued to walk down the corridors to the Great Hall to get some lunch. It was their free period as well so the plan was to get some food and head back to the commonroom to relax before Transfiguration.

As the trio appoarched the portait of the fat lady, Hermione whispered something into Harry's ear really quickly that made Harry's eyes widen with shock and horror.

"I saw Malfoy waving at you. Hope you have an explanation for that Harry."

(Harrys Thoughts) OMG I hope she doesn't really know. Oh why the bloody hell does she have to be so smart at everything, maybe I can just lie to her, no, I can't lie to my best mate! I guess I will have to tell her the truth and hope she understands.

Harry just stared at Hermione with horror as she said the password to the fat lady and the three of them walked inside towards the commonroom. Right away, Harry grabs Hermione and tells Ron to wait down here and that he needs to speak with Hermione about something rubbish really quickly.

Harry and Hermione go upstairs into the boys dormitory where no one else was there and start talking.

"Harry, what is going on?" Hermione looks anxious but also bland.

"I really don't know what you're talking about Hermione, you shouldn't say stuff like this, people might accidentally hear and start a rumor of some sort." Harry was stuttering and slightly sweating a bit.

"Harry, I'm not stupid. There is something fishy going on and you better tell me now or I'll just go snooping around and eventually find it. But you wouldn't want me to go snooping now would you? Haha."

"Of course not Hermione! It's just... oh gosh. alrite, I'll tell you but you can't tell Ron or anyone else. Anyone else that finds out will just go mental. Alrite? Promise?"

"Oh come off it Harry, of course I promise, I'm not going to spread your life. Tell me already."

"...I think.. me and Mal..I mean Draco.. have something going on. We've been having this sort of bumping into each other thing for a few weeks now since the day.. that we well... that the day we kissed or rather he kissed me and I kissed him...We aren't offical or anything, not yet at least I guess but we don't yell at each other no more unless we're with someone else. We always bump into each other on purpose just to see each other, at least that's my reason... I like him Hermione! I know he's suppose to be my rival and he was, for some sort of time, but I guess we grew up, things change right? I forgave him for doing the things he's done. He's stopped being like that. Well, at least in front of me..." Harry was just continuiously talking and Hermione kept nodding her head to indicate that she was listening and understood.

"..Oh my Harry. This is SOMETHiNG...this sounds soo..."

Harry was just staring at her inching closer and closer to her to see what she was going to say after.

"...just soo ROMANTiC and CUTE! oh my goodness Harry, this is surely wonderful, but still risky and awkward. I mean, DRACO MALFOY? I don't understand why but maybe I'll see later on. You can not tell Ron but you will have to, sooner or later Harry. How come you and Malfoy aren't offical yet?" Hermione was just beginning to become bubblier.

"I'm not really sure. We haven't really talked about it or anything you know. Maybe we should talk about it, but I can't really go up to him during class or anything like that and say ""Oh Draco, are we going to go out because we snogged a few weeks ago?"", that would just be embarassing for me and for him."

"Harry, honestly, you do know gay is not looked down upon in the wizarding world. No one but maybe purebloods will laugh or shun you from it, so you shouldn't feel ashamed... but anyways, I think you do need to talk to Draco about it because if I were you, I would want something more to happen right? Right. So how about you send him an owl or something and invite him on a date at night of course and that way, it's more private and you guys can talk about the situtation." Hermione was so freaking brilliant.

"HERMiONE, you're a genuis! I'll do that! I have my invisiblity cloke and I could use that to get out of the castle. I can make it by the lake so we'll be outside and for sure no one will come out there in the dark time! Wonderful Hermione. I love you!" Harry gave Hermione a tight hug and they both happiply, walked back downstairs to join Ron in a game of wizard's chest. Ron asked what they were discussing about and Hermione calmly told Ron that he should mind his own business but if he must know, they were discussing an test that was coming up in Defense Against the Dark Arts higher class which Ron was not in.


During Transfiguration class, Harry began to write a parchment letter to Draco so he can run up to the owlery after class and send it to Draco as soon as possible.

To Draco,

Don't be so surprised that I'm sending you an owl. You deserve one right? Well, I was wondering, I think we need some stuff that we need to discuss and come to conclusion with, so if it is alright, would you like to accompany me to dinner tonight at 11pm outside by the lake? If you need help figuring out a way to get out past curfew, ask me. I can help. Hope you come. See you.

Harry

It was a nice simple letter that Harry was content with, so right after class, he told Hermione and Ron that he'd meet up with them later and ran off to the tower on the other side where the owls were being kept.

He didn't use Hedwig because he was afraid someone might recongize the owl and know the letter was from him; so instead he used a school owl to deliver the letter.

"Just send this to Draco Malfoy whenever you can alright?"

After the owl flew out the window, Harry stood there for a few moments realizing what he has done and began to get excited. He hope Draco send him a reply soon so he can then go down to the kitchens and get food from Dobby. He walked merrily back to the common room to relax for a bit before it was dinner time for the school.

The commonroom was nice and warm because of the blazing fire. Harry sitted himself down on the armchair infront of the fire along with Hermione and Ron. They sat there for a good long hour chit chatting and playing wizard's chest and then drinking butterbeer. When Ron's stomach started to rumble, they all knew it was time for dinner. SO the trio and the rest of the Gyffindors that were in the commonroom headed down to the Great Wall.

Immediately, Harry glimpsed over to the Slytherin table to look for Draco. He saw him, in the very middle of the table sitting next to Pansy. They were laughing. They were eating but instinctly, Draco looked up and saw Harry looking at him. Draco gave Harry a quick smile then went back to talking to Pansy.

During dinner, Harry recieved an owl and it was of course from Draco.

Harry Potter,

I can't believe you sent me an owl, how girly. Ha Ha, I'm only joking. But I am able to make it to our little dinner date, I have figured a way to get there so I will meet you by the lake at 11pm, see you there my little lion.

Draco Malfoy

Harry laughed when he saw what Draco wrote at the end of the passage. He looked up and saw that Draco was looking at him smiling because he knew that Harry was reading his note at that moment. Draco gave Harry a wink that Hermione caught and just nudged Harry to indicate that she saw that.


Harry finished dinner quickly because he didn't want to eat a lot, then ran back up to the commonroom and took out his cloak, it was nearing 11pm and he still had to run down to the kitchen and pick up the food that Dobby was making for him. So Harry grabbed a blanket, grabbed his cloak and ran out the dormitory and quietly made his way out of the commonroom and down the corridors into the kitchen, picked up his food that Dobby so nicely put in a basket and headed towards the entrance door.

Harry quietly opened the door and ran outside as quickly as possible. He ran around the side of the school to where the lake was and noticed that the moon was shinning extremely nicely. It was about 11pm now so Harry put the blanket on the ground and placed the basket of food on the blanket and just sat down and waited for Draco to arrive.

Harry had been sitting there for about 10 minutes before almost giving up. Harry was left alone. Draco hadn't showed up and it was already 11:05pm. As Harry started to get up, disappointed, he felt someone tap him on his shoulder, Harry turned around and was completely relieved to see that it was Draco standing there smiling at him.

"Sorry I'm late Harry, Snape wouldn't leave the commonroom in Slytherin for ages, he kept being a bugger."

"It's alrite Draco, as long as you're here now because I really thought you wouldn't show up."

"Really? I wouldn't miss this for the world.." Draco was glad that they were outside where it was dark because Draco blushed at that very moment as he spoke.

Draco and Harry sat down on the blanket and ate, quietly and calmly. They stared at each other and smiled. They shared this connection and it didn't need talking. But soon, they started to talk, they talked about the past few days and how it was funny how they're mates couldn't tell at all about them. Until Harry told Draco about Hermione knowing now.

"That little MUDBLOOD knows about this weird thing we have!"

"Malfoy, calm down, don't call Hermione a mudblood, she hasn't done anything. She won't do anything so just shut it."

"Fine, just because you trust her, I'll stay quiet and not say anything, but once someone else knows, I'll know where to go to blame. Alrite?"

"Don't worry! No one will know. We aren't even together!" Harry looked at Draco to see what expression he would give him for what he said. Draco looked at Harry quietly and then smirked.

"You saying we aren't together Potter? What would you call us then? Something strange?"

"I'm not saying anything. But this is the reason why I asked you to this dinner, I want us to talk about US.. what is it? What are WE?"

"Well... you like me don't you Potter?"

"Uhm.. yes I guess I do.."

"Well, good because I like you too Potter. So that should be enough shouldn't it? We both like each other, no one else is going to know about this. We can be together. I like the sound of that. Boyfriend and boyfriend then?"

"So are you asking me to be your boyfriend Draco?"

"Don't go all girly on me now Potter, yes yes, I'm asking you to be my boyfriend, but we can't let others know right now and we can't let others find out, we have to be extremely discreet alright?"

"Alright! This is wonderful. Thanks Draco, now everything is cleared up.. Let's enjoy the rest of our little date."

"Sure."

With that said, both boys sat on the blanket under the shinning moon enjoying their dinner. They talked and laughed and enjoyed each others company. Just this date gave them the chance to catch up and actually get to know each other a lot more. It was wonderful, but soon it was getting extremely late and they needed to head back into the castle before their mates realize they are missing. So they gathered their things and started off towards the castle, but before they entered, Draco took hold of Harry.

"Harry, meet me out on the qudditch field tomorrow night alright? So we can spend some more time together. Goodnight Potter."

"Alright Draco, good night." Draco kissed Harry on the lips and they just stood there kissing passionately for a long good two minutes. Both boys smiled at each other and then quietly, entered the castle and went their seperate ways back to their houses.

Harry made it back to Gyffindor and said the password, the fat lady looked almost scared hearing the password when there was no one in front of her, Harry almost forgot he had the cloak on. But he made his way in the commonroom and headed upstairs to get some sleep. When he climbed into bed, and took off his glasses, he heard someone talk.. it was Ron.

"Where have you been Harry?" It was Ron Weasley, he had awoken a few minutes ago to see that his best mate was missing in his bed.

"Oh, I had to use the lavatory. Don't worry Ron. Go to sleep. Goodnight mate."

"Sure Harry. Fine, goodnight." Ron didn't exactly believe him but then he thought why would Harry lie to him because Harry never lies to him so he just back to sleep.

Harry felt kind of horrible for just lying to his best mate.. He wanted to tell Ron so badly but knew he couldn't, not yet at least. So for now, he was excited to tell Hermione about it tomorrow.
