Chapter 9

A Day on the Town

Today was the day Draco would turn 16, and Harry was nervous in every sense of the word. He had been pacing his room back and forth since he'd woken up at roughly 5:00 that morning. If he was to count it, he would have to say he had walked the distance between Draco's door and his bed at least 150 times. At about 9:45, he went downstairs to make breakfast. Draco strolled in at about 9:55 yawning, and plopped down in a chair.

"Morning Harry," He yawned.

"Morning Draco," Harry replied. He set a plate of food in front of Draco, watching as the younger teen practically inhaled it."Hey when you're done go change okay?"

"Why?"

"I'm taking you out," Harry replied. "Now go," Draco glared but ran to go change anyways.

Draco could have sworn everything in his closet didn't fit. It wasn't appealing enough for Draco. His shirts were too loose, too ugly, too green... His pants were all jeans, to loose, to ugly... He had nothing to wear except…

"Where's my suitcase," Draco mumbled to himself. He found said case under his bed. Now believe me when I say this wasn't a small suitcase either- it was huge, and like the Weasley's car held more than appeared possible. Remember, we did have to pack all of Draco's clothes in one little case. Searching though the suitcase Draco found what he was looking for. A black pair of leather pants, a black shirt with the Kingdom Hearts logo (Muggles weren't completely useless!), a black choker and a pair of black boots. When wearing them, he looked like a perfect Hot Topic model if there ever was one. After laying out his clothes, Draco took a shower and washed his hair…twice. He then went about putting on his clothes and rechecking every two seconds to make sure he looked perfect. He then, with one last glance at the mirror, headed down to impress Harry.

When Draco stepped into the room, Harry was sure he'd died and gone to heaven. Draco just looked that good, and black was definitely his color. As good as he looked in the clothes though, Harry was sure he'd look a whole lot better without them.

"Bad, bad thought," Harry mentally smacked himself. "Come on, Dumbledore is waiting," Harry said when he found his voice. They flooed to Hogwarts where Dumbledore was waiting.

"Long time, no…" Dumbledore stopped when he noticed Draco. "Mr. Malfoy," he gaped, "What are you wearing!" Draco smiled.

"Clothes, sir," He replied.

"I can see that but…never mind," he shook his head. "Off with you and no worry about attacks, I have Aurors ready to jump if the need arises," Harry nodded and aparated them away.

"Harry, where are we," Draco asked, stilling hold Harry's hand from when they apparated.

"New York City," Harry replied. "It's in America,"

"Dude, we're in America," Draco asked.

"Yeah, now let's go do a little shopping," Harry suggested. What he seemd to forget was that with Draco, little and shopping could never exist in the same sentence together. By the time Harry wanted dinner, they were carrying close to fifteen shirts, twelve pants, six chokers, eight pairs of shoes, and five silk boxers - a majority of which belonged to Draco. The boy really did love to shop. Harry then quickly apparated to Hogsmeade, and raced on his broom back to hogwarts and up to Dumbledore's office, dropped off the clothes and then apparated back. He left Draco in the care of one of the Auror's tailing them, after it took him ten minutes to make the idiot show himself. When he got back though, he found Draco talking, or rather quarrelling, with a rather familiar person.

"Blaise," Harry smiled.

"Hey, Harry," Blaise smiled back. Draco glance at Harry and noticed he didn't even look mad. He wondered why, seeing as the last time the boys had met it wasn't a very happy memory. "Long time no see," he added.

"Yeah I know, like months, so what's up,"

"Nothing really," Blaise replied rocking on his feet. "I work for the Ministry now, in muggle relations,"

"Lucky you, I wanted to be an Auror but…" he left the rest out.

"You can say it you know. It's because of me. Because you're keeping me from my father," Draco snarled harshly. "Anytime you want I'll leave,"

"No, Draco, you're not a burden, I just, well, never mind. You just wouldn't understand," Harry replied.

"Says you," Draco huffed." I'll be in the candy store," he walked off.

"Still a brat I see,"

"Yeah,"

"Any chance you'll ditch him for an hour and go out with me?"

"No,"

"Oh come on, Harry,"

"Blaise,"

"Fine, fine," Blaise dropped it. "I can see you're still in love with him,"

"You don't even know the half of it,"

"Later, Harry," Blaise said, turning and practically running away.

After Blaise's exit, Harry ran to find Draco. He found him noting all the lollipops he's never tasted, though it wasn't like he needed more because he still had the ones Ron had given him. Harry snuck up behind him and wrapped his arms around Draco's waist.

"I'm sorry," he whispered in his ear. He smiled when Draco shivered.

"I forgive you," Draco whispered. "Just don't throw me out or anything, okay?"

"Draco," Harry scowled. "There's nothing in the world that would make me throw you out," he added. "I love you too much to do that,"

"You what?"

"Forget it, it's time we left. Dumbledore's probably thinks we got killed," he let go of Draco and turned to leave. Draco followed slowly after him.

A/N: OMG! I'm so mad right now. This chapter and the one after it where supposed to be out by no later than 4:00pm on Friday. BUT STUPID FANFICTION WOULDN'T LET ME! Everytime i tried to upload it to the server it time out. What does that mean. I DON'T KNOW. All i know is it pissed me off. I even asked my beta to upload but she had no luck either. Though i do feel so loved that she actually tried. lol. But anyways, I love this chapter. The one following is even better. But don't take my word for it, see for you self. Go. Hit that next chapter button and keep reading.

A/N: I forgot that this chapter was stupid cause you can't apparate into Hogwarts, so i had to fix that.
