Considering the amount of time it took me to write the last chapter from a pc I have to say I got more out then I thought I would. I missed having a keyboard to really write with. It helps so much! Let us continue spying on our boys, yeah? Disclaimer… I don't own Harry Potter. I wish I did though.
"I want…" Harry paused and bit his lip. Leaning back in his chair Harry had no idea what it was he wanted.
Did he want his friends to know that he and Draco were starting some sort of relationship? Draco made a point, they would find out eventually especially with everyone being in such close quarters.
It would be best to be very up front and forward about it from the start. Yet in the back of Harry's mind he wanted, just for a little while longer, to keep what he and Draco had a secret. He was tired of the prying eyes of others, and all their judgements. Especially when he got to thinking about RIta Skeeter and her terrible articles about him in the past. Not that anyone would tell Skeeter anything.
Looking down at his lap Harry twiddled his thumbs. It was alright with Draco to let the others know. The blonde had even considered telling ROn knowing full well what sort of temperament the redhead had against him. If Draco was fine with it, then Harry could be too. It's not like Harry hadn't already dealt with Ron and his anger before.
Draco had been watching Harry very tentatively. He wasn't afraid of what Harry would say, more that he was curious as to how Harry would be able to handle any sort of outcome they would decide on. If they began to date and Harry felt the least bit uncomfortable, would Draco be dumped?
Harry took a deep breath and sighed. Sitting upright he continued. "I want, at least for a little while, to keep this between us. It's not because I'm ashamed, but because I haven't had much for myself. If that's okay with you that is. I just want you to myself for a bit."
Draco smiled. "I like that reasoning. I can go along with it for as long as you need." Draco stood up and swiftly placed a kiss on Harry's lips. Wanting more kisses Harry stood too.
Having not been expecting to be kissed in the first place Harry reacted instinctively and wrapped his arms around Draco to bring him in closer. "Thank you." Harry whispered after finally being let up for air.
"It was just a kiss." Draco laughed, still turning pink.
"Not for the kiss you git, for understanding." Harry smiled and pulled Draco in for another chaste kiss. "Now to figure out how I'm going to keep focus on my work is going to be another thing altogether."
"You too?" Draco leaned into Harry's shoulder. It was almost as if he fit there naturally, just nuzzled into the crook of Harry's neck.
"I didn't take one note throughout charms and no doubt Hermione is going to have several things to say about it when I see her later." Harry groaned.
"You can always tell her your boyfriend kept you from your work." Draco mumbled.
Harry started to say something then lost it. Did Draco just say boyfriend?
Draco felt the little jolt Harry gave. He smirked and waited patiently.
"Boyfriend?" Harry finally asked.
"Isn't that what this is? You and me? Us?" Draco tried to keep the smirk out of his voice, but that was hard to do considering the thought of the word boyfriend made it seem more solid that he and Harry were together. All he needed now was the confirmation from Harry.
"Us… boyfriends." Harry's own smile played at his lips. "Boyfriends." Harry finally said and hugged Draco tightly leaning his own head on the blonde's shoulder.
And there they stood for a good while, just holding each other. Two once sworn enemies, finally coming together to be so much more. Each thinking this was going to be quite the shock for others, but not caring one bit because they both felt as whole as they had ever been before.
"You know, "Draco said, finally breaking their silence, "There was more than one reason I brought you here."
"Hmm? What's that?" Harry asked, moving slightly away from Draco, but not enough to break their connection. He could still stare his boyfriend in the eye.
"Let's sit and finish our lunch. You'll see." Draco gave Harry a quick peck on the lips then stepped back to sit in his chair again.
"You know, I'm beginning to think you know me a lot better than you think you do." Harry took another forkful of treacle tart.
"I observe a lot of people. Part of my charm." Draco sounded like his old snotty self, but he did so playfully, knowing full well Harry would catch him.
"Not the only thing charming about you." Harry mumbled through a mouth full of tart and a grin on his face.
"So kind of you to notice, Potter. Part of your own charm I'm guessing." Draco leaned forward and snatched Harry's fork. There was a bite of tart on it that Harry was about to take, but now the blonde had deliberately, and slowly consumed it fully aware that Harry was scowling.
"I may not like this arrangement if you're going to be taking my tarts." Harry said, nudging Draco's leg with his own.
"What's yours is mine now dear." Draco said, handing over Harry his fork with an air of victory.
"I see. Well dear when it comes to my treacle t-" Harry stopped talking. He could hear something faintly coming from behind him. Turning around though Harry didn't see anything.
Looking back at Draco Harry only saw a large grin on the blonde. Draco pointed up.
At first looking up Harry didn't notice any changes. He could hear a faint whooshing noise steadily growing louder and flowing downward. Looking at the walls and pillars Harry finally noticed. Making its way from the ceiling water had begun to flow down the walls and curvatures. The plants were not unaffected, they had begun to lightly glow and permeate a stronger fragrance. For a split second Harry worried that the water would fill the room up and they both would drown, but upon looking at the floor he realized the water never touched the cobbled floor. It merely formed a misted cloud around the boys' ankles, not getting either of them wet.
Draco enjoyed watching Harry awestruck. He enjoyed looking at his now boyfriend admiring and appreciating something Draco showed him. He felt that after so long, he may have done something right.
"This is brilliant." Harry said, stretching his hand out to touch the mist. "I'll have to think up somewhere amazing for our next date now."
"It's not a competition." Draco moved his own hand out to gracefully play with the mist.
"Gryffindor versus Slytherin." Harry smirked.
"If that's how it's going to be then I best try my hardest to win." Draco said moving to stand. He raised his arm up brandishing his wand and giving it a quick flick. Out of the end appeared a few dozen golden ornamental stars. Each floated lazily in front of Draco until he flicked his wand again and they soared up to the high ceiling. With another wave the light in the room began to fade and the stars that Draco produced twinkled.
Looking down at Harry in his chair Draco brimmed with delight. Harry was staring at him amazed. Eyes full of the star light Draco created just for him.
For a moment or so the young men just looked at one another. Draco, again breaking their silence, said "Well, what do you think?"
"I think Gryffindor may lose this match." Harry stood up, grabbed Draco by the back of his neck and pressed their lips together forcefully.
Draco kissed Harry back with just as much passion as he was getting. It was all lips, some tongue, a few bites here and there, and hands clawing at the other to keep them close.
Without any thought to what he was doing Draco pushed Harry and himself into a nearby pillar. He moved his hands quickly and efficiently to Harry's chest and began to tug at the dark haired boys tie, undoing it. Then down to the buttons and began undoing those as well.
Harry, not ever having any experience with being undressed before just let his mind go along with what was happening. He could feel Draco's nimble fingers touching his chest every so often when a button came undone. They felt cool and gentle. Finally once Harry's shirt was undone and untucked Draco moved his hand up Harry's chest while the other made its way to Harry's back blindly mapping out the body it was touching.
Harry groaned into Draco's kisses wanting more than just hands touching his upper body.
Another cliffhanger! I'm positively evil. ^_^ Review, and follow if you like. Much appreciated. Next update is coming along soon.
