"Night 'mione." Harry said as him and Ron headed up to the eighth year boys dormitory. Harry waited until everyone had fallen asleep before sneaking out under the invisibility cloak. He crept threw the common room and down the stairs, until he came to an empty class room on the second floor. Inside waiting for him was Draco Malfoy. He let the cloak fall to the floor at his feet.
"Potter." Malfoy said, but not in his usual tone. He was soft and sweet while speaking.
"Malfoy." Harry said in the same soft voice.
"We need to be more careful. I think Ron may have seen yours or my foot today while we were under the cloak." Harry moved closer to Draco, who was sitting on one of the desks.
"I guess so, but for now we are safe." He slid off the desk, closing the space between him and Harry.
"So what now?" Draco asked placing a hand on his waist.
"This." Harry said closing the few inches between them. He cupped Draco's face in his hand and kissed him. The kiss was slow and deep. They were in an embrace they never wanted to free from. Slowly Draco's hands wondered down to Harry's waist and under the hem of his shirt. His hands slid up Harry's bare back, his cold fingers tracing his spine. Harry's fingers were running through Draco's hair, pulling him deeper into the kiss. Eventually the broke apart going their separate ways for the night.
The next morning Harry woke up happy it was a Saturday, as it meant he had more time to spend with Draco. He got dressed and made his way down to the great hall for breakfast. On his way to the Gryffindor table he passed by Draco and his friends sending him a small smile. He sat down next to Hermione so he could look over at the Slytherin table.
"Where did you go last night?" Ron asked.
"What do you mean?" Harry responded trying to sound confused.
"I woke up last night and you weren't in bed and your cloak was gone."
"Oh, yeah. I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk." Ron and Hermione exchanged concerned glances.
"Ok. So mate got any plans for today?"
"Yeah I was going to help Hagrid with something in the forest." Harry was trying to keep himself from blushing, he was really meeting Draco in their favorite spot.
"Oh, I would come Harry but I'm going to the library to study with Ron." Harry was happy to hear they were busy and not asking to go with him.
After breakfast Harry headed down to the forbidden forest stopping when he came to an old oak tree that towered above him. Lupin had told him before he died that this was his parents favorite place to spend some time alone. He brought Draco here when they first started sneaking around, it had become a regular place for them. Harry began to climb the tree until he came to a sturdy branch and took a seat. Five minutes later he was joined be Draco.
"So Potter what did you tell them today?"
"I told them I was helping Hagrid in the forest. You?"
"Said I had detention with Hagrid." Draco moved closer to Harry, locking their fingers and resting his head on Harry's shoulder. Moving his head he kissed Harry's neck, slowly making his way up to Harry's soft jaw. Harry let out a moan when Draco reached a soft spot under his jaw bone. Harry shifted his body so he was leaning against the tree trunk. Draco moved as well so he was straddling Harry, lips now locked together. They could have stayed there for hours if it wasn't for a certain someone intorupting them.
"Oi! What's going on here?!" Ron was standing at the foot of the tree red in the face, arms crossed over his chest. Harry and Draco jumped causing Draco to fall off the tree. He landed on his arm with a loud crunch.
"Ahhhhhhh!" He yelled in pain. Harry hopped off the tree and kneeld next to Draco.
"Oh god. Draco, are you okay?" Ron asked looking stunned.
"We need to get him to the hospital wing." Harry waved his wand elevating Draco a few inches in front of him.
Eventually they got him up to the hospital wing without causing him any more pain.
"What happened?" Madam Pomfrey asked while examining Draco's arm. Ron and Harry looked at each other unsure what to say. Harry finaly spoke up,
"He fell out of a tree. We were sitting up there practicing spells when I hit the branch under him and he fell on his arm." Harry's cheeks turned a little pink. After she had fixed Draco's arm he was free to go with Harry and Ron. As soon as they were out in the hallway Ron stopped and turned to face Harry and Draco.
"So is someone going to explain what was going on in that tree?" He asked crossing his arms.
"Nothing happened Ron." Harry said as he started to walk away but was stopped by Ron.
"Nothing!? You were snogging this prat, not to mention he was on top of you!?"
"That's probably why I fell." Draco said sending Harry a sly smile.
"So what if I was snogging him?" Harry asked looking at his very bewildered best friend.
"What do you mean 'so what if I was snogging him'? It's Draco Malfoy. Our enimie."
"He might be yours Ron, but not mine. At least not anymore." With that Harry took Draco's uninjured hand and walked away, leaving Ron mouth wide open standing in the hall.
By dinner almost all the eighth year students new Harry had snogged Draco. That night in the common room they asked all of them not to tell any students outside of the eighth year.
"How long have you guys been keeping this from us?" Hermione asked from her spot on the couch beside Pansy next to the fire.
"Three months." Draco said looking at Harry.
"Almost four." Harry finished.
"And you didn't think to mention this to your best friends?" Pansy asked them both. That year all the students had gotten really close. Blaise, Pansy, and Draco had become part of Harry's small group of friends.
"We didn't think you guys would understand." Draco said looking down at his feet.
"Of course we would, we're your best friends." Pansy said looking shocked and a bit hurt that two of her best friends hadn't mentioned they were dating.
"Well can you blame us based on the way Ron reacted?" Harry asked glaring at his best friend, who was sitting in an armchair in the far corner of the room.
"Can you blame me? I went out to help Harry and instead I see them snogging in a tree."
"That is true, but you didn't need to freak out after Malfoy was released from hospital." Hermione pointed out.
"Why not? Malfoy is a prat."
"Come on Ron let's go get some air." Blaise said standing up and taking Ron outside. Even though everyone had gotten closer during their last year at school Ron just couldn't seem to forgive Malfoy.
A few weeks has pasted and they were nearing the last week of school. Ron had finally gotten used to Malfoy and Harry being together and even suggested Malfoy should come and hang out with all of them at the burrow (they had been together for 6 months now). Harry of course would be living at Grimauld place, but was staying at the burrow until it was in proper shape for living. Harry was sitting in the common room waiting for Draco to come down. Today was the last Hogsmead day for the year. Suddenly Harry felt two srtong hands on his shoulders and felt a soft kiss on his cheek.
"Hey. You ready to go?" Draco asked moving to stand in front of Harry.
"Yeah." Draco held out a hand helping Harry to his feet. They locked their hands together and headed down to the great hall where they were meeting Pansy, Blaise, Hermione, and Ron. They all headed down to Hogsmead where they went their separate ways, they had plans to meet for lunch. Harry and Draco went down to the sheriking shake.
"Potter why are we here?" Draco asked looking around at the house that was barley staying together.
"Because I wanted to be somewhere far away and somewhere I am comfortable with when I asked you."
"Ask me What?" Draco raised an eyebrow looking very confused.
"Move in with me. I mean once my house can actually be lived in."
"That wasn't a question."
"That wasn't an answer."
"I want you to ask before I answer." Harry glared at a smiling Draco, who new he had won this argument.
"Draco, will you move in with me?"
"Let me think."
"Really, you're going to do this to me. Just give me an answer and quick because we're going to be late for lunch."
"Yes, I'll move in with you. Only when your house is actually habitable though." Harry was the happiest he had ever been. Draco moved forward and lightly kissed him.
"Come on. Like you said we're going to be late for lunch."
Summer had finally arrived and Harry was on edge waiting for his new home to be ready for him and Draco to move into.
"Clam down Harry. It'll be ready in a few weeks, there's nothing to worry about. Besides today's your birthday and you get to see Draco. It's been two weeks since you saw him last, you should be excited." Hermione said taking a seat across from him and Ron at the table.
"Yeah mate. Cheer up. Don't forget Daddy's coming tonight as well." Ron gave him a pat on the back. Harry looked out the window trying to see if Draco was there yet, instead he saw Ginny sitting at the base of the old oak tree.
"I'm going to get some air." Harry got up from the table and headed out towards Ginny. He stopped a few feet away from her and saw that she was crying. He moved closer.
"Hey." He said to let her know he was there. Ginny looks up wiping away her tears.
"Hey." She moved over a bit to allow room for Harry to sit.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm fine."
"Ginny you're crying."
"Fine. Dean's getting married." A few more tears rolled down her cheek.
"What I thought you guys were together?"
"We were. I caught him last week with some girl in his flat last week."
"Oh. Gin what happened?"
"He was supposed to be at work, so I went to his flat to surprise him with diner. That's when I walked in and saw the making out on the couch. I asked them how long it had been going on for, Dean said a year." Harry put an arm around her shoulder.
"Then I saw the ring on her finger and ran. They sent me this yesterday." She hated him a lilac card with gold writing, it was a wedding invation.
"That's just sick. Are they trying to rub it in or something? Honestly Gin you're better off with out him."
"I know that now, but when we broke up it hurt. Harry two years ago when we broke up Harry, before the battle I felt alone. Then when we tried it again when you got back it didn't feel the Same, I was heart broken. I turned to Dean he was there for me, I guess it was just a lie. Now you have Draco and ran and Hermione are together and I'm alone."
"Gin I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for you did nothing wrong?"
"I'm sorry I made you feel I wanted. It obviously didn't work because I'm gay not because I don't like you."
"Thanks Harry I needed to hear that."
"Come on let's go inside the party's going to start soon." Harry got up first then helped Ginny to her feet. Just the Draco appears with a pop at the front gate.
"I'm gonna go inside I'll see you in there." Ginny said giving Harry a small hug. As Ginny walked back inside Draco was walking towards Harry, a small wraped box in his hand. Draco stopped in front of him, he ran his other hand along Harry's waist and pulled him into a kiss.
"Hello love." He said against Harry's lips.
"Not here Draco, later." Harry said moving his head back a bit.
"Oh you're no fun sometimes potter."
"I'll show you fun." Harry kissed Draco again a little deeper this time. As he pulled away he gave Draco a cunning smirk. Harry took Draco's empty hand and pulled him towards the burrow.
The party was filled with food, friends, and fun. At the end of the night Harry said good bye to the Weasleys, as he was staying at Draco's for the night, and headed out.
That night Draco and Harry were alone in Malfoy Manor as Narssica was visiting Andromeda.
"So have you finished packing yet?" Harry asked as Draco and him made their way up to Draco's room.
"Everything but the basics." Draco opened the door to his room. On the far end of the room sat his grand four poster bed. To the left was a small desk and chair with a few smaller boxes stacked on top. On the other side sat Draco's wardrobe, the door hung slightly open. Most of the floor space was taken up by boxes, along with the two armchairs Draco had.
"You can set your bag anywhere." Draco moved tentatively into the room followed by Harry. Harry set his duffle bag down by one of the armchairs.
"Draco?"
"Yes?"
"Do you love me?" Draco was slightly taken aback, why did Harry even need to ask that, was he having doubts about the relationship?
"Of course I do. Why would you even ask that?"
"Just wanted to here you say it. Also this is the first full night we will be spending together and I wanted to make sure you aren't having any doubts."
"Don't be silly, I would never. And besides it's not like we could spend a full night together you're living with the Weasleys right now."
"I know, that's why tonight is going to be great." Harry moved over to Draco, who was sitting on his bed and leaned over him. Draco moved forward kissing Harry. Slowly they moved back onto the bed, Draco was on his back Harry was on top of him. Draco began to take off Harry's t-shirt, while Harry undid Draco's. Next thing they knew they were both naked and under the duvet. Harry began to kiss Draco's jawline making his way down to his neck and then along his collarbone. He began making his way along the middle of Draco's chest, when he got to Draco's waist he could feel a hitch in Draco's breathing but didn't stop.
Next morning Harry woke to find Draco's warm body laying in front of him, his blonde hair a mess. Harry leaned over him and kissed his cheek. Draco rolled over smiling.
"Morning darling." Harry said as he kissed Draco.
"Morning." Draco sighed.
"How was last night for you?" Draco cracked an eye looking at Harry's face he could tell that this was really important to him.
"Prefect in every way."
"Really?"
"Really." Harry smiled and kissed Draco again but a little deeper this time. The kiss didn't break but increased in intensity. Suddenly Draco was on top of Harry and they began to relive parts of last night.
"Draco?! Harry?!" They could hear Narssica coming up the stairs.
"Shit." Draco stumbled off of Harry and quickly grabbed a t-shirt an old hoodie and two pairs of boxers. He threw the hoodie and a pair of boxers to Harry.
"Really, your old qudditch hoodie?" Draco just glared at Harry, and without another word they both struggled to put them on. They heard a soft knock at the door.
"Boys? Are you awake?" It was Narssica. Draco opened the door just wide enough to stick his head out.
"Yes mother."
"Well good morning to you to."
"Sorry mum. What is it that you want?"
"Just wantd to check up on you before I head out. I'll be gone for the next week or so I'm going to France with Andromeda to visit some relatives. I'll see you when I get back."
"Okay see you then mum." Narssica gave Draco a soft kiss on the cheek and left. Draco closed the door and turned to Harry.
"She's leaving eh?"
"Yeah for a whole week."
"When did she say she was heading out?"
"Now. I guess she just came to grab a few things."
"So we're alone again?"
"Yes, what did you have in mind?"
"Well..." Harry closed the space between him and Draco. He slid his hands up Draco's shirt while kissing him.
