Christmas With Harry
Chapter 5
Harry walked out and closed the door and then just stood there against the door realising what he had just done, "its fine, you're going to wake up just now" he told himself, then he stood for a few seconds hoping that he did wake up. After a few seconds he started to consider what he had just done….did I really just do that, he thought to himself…what was I thinking?
He wondered what was happening, just standing there right outside the door to the Slytherin common room…he had just kissed Draco Malfoy, the one person in the school that he had spent years keeping an eye on and fighting with, one of the students who were eventually going to become a death eater and eventually Voldermorts right hand man, and what's more, Malfoy had kissed him back, why would he do that. Harry was confused to the max, he suddenly had no idea what was going on in his life, and then he realised that the issue was bigger than he was thinking…not only was it Draco Malfoy, but Malfoy is another guy, he had just kissed another guy!
At the same time as Draco was standing on the other side of the door just staring at the handle that Harry had just used to escape….what had he just done? What if Harry wasn't actually going to do that and there he was just diving in and kissing him, but then, Harry had kissed him back. Draco considered what he had done for a few seconds, had he just thrown everything away that he had been hoping to get in a single moment, he decided that he had to go and find Harry and try and explain.
Harry after a few moments of trying to straighten out in his head what had just happened decided that he had to try and speak to Draco and try to explain to him that he just wasn't that way inclined and what was he playing at. As he turned around to go back into the Slytherin common room the door in front of him opened and standing there in the door frame was the same tall, blonde haired, pale smooth skinned boy who he had just been thinking about and was going to lay into about the fact that he should never have done what he did.
When Draco opened the door he discovered Harry standing facing him frozen, it was as if Harry had seen him and frozen in position, his hand up ready to knock on the door. Draco went to start, "Harry…I…erm…I"
"Shhh" Harry cut him off mid stutter, Draco closed his mouth and looked down, he was expecting it…Harry would blow up in his face and hex him until he was in so much pain that he wouldn't feel it. "Just don't say anything Malfoy" Harry started to rack through his brain, everything that he had been thinking before Draco opened the door had completely gone and all he could do was look up into the beautifully glistening eyes that were staring at him and were now working their way down to the floor. Harry took his hand and lifted his chin up so that Draco was looking into his eyes, he had no idea what he was thinking, he started to lean forward again, his brain switched into gear again, Harry, this is Draco Malfoy, another boy who you have been enemies with since before you even started school, what are you doing?
Draco just stood there, he had wanted to try and explain, but Harry had shushed him and he was expecting him to just blow up there and then, start ranting about how big a dick he was and that he was a complete idiot, although he didn't need for Harry to say it, he had called himself it enough times now already. Harry's hand was still on Draco's face and they just stood for a seconds staring at each other for what seemed like a long time.
Harry didn't know what brought him back to reality, but all of a sudden he was brought out of the gaze, "look Malfoy, I….I have never ever even considered the fact that I might be gay, and I certainly never ever considered that you were, but for some reason I…erm…well, I seem to be having a very funny feeling right now, I've never felt like this before and to be honest its kind of creeping me out"
"Look, Harry, I want to apologise for what I did before you left a few minutes ago, I should never have done that"
"It….its fine, I just…it took me by surprise and I, well, I didn't react the way I thought I would"
"And how did you think you would react" Draco was looking intrigued and excited at the moment, he had never expected anything like the reaction that he was getting for kissing Harry
"Well, I would have thought that if you had kissed me I would have thrown you off and then hex you for the rest of your life….every chance that I got anyway"
"Well, in that case, I'm quite glad I've got this reaction, but I'm still very sorry"
"I'm just really confused right now, and I'm sorry for walking out, I just…well, I scared myself with the reaction that I gave myself"
"Look, I don't want you to get the wrong idea Potter, I was feeling lonely and I really did want you to just come down to chat, I never planned anything like this to happen" Draco was thinking that he had to try and make up some sort of excuse that might actually still give him a chance with Harry
"It…its fine, I was the one who seemed to feel compelled to kiss you, which again scared me"
The whole way through the doorstep conversation Harry had found himself eyeing up and down Draco, the overwhelming feeling to grab him and kiss him again, pin him back against the wall and not let go
"Would you like to come back in again, I promise, I won't try anything funny this time, you can even sit across the other side of the room if you want" Draco was feeling hopeful that he might still be in with a chance
"Yeah, that would be cool, a chance to just sit and relax again" Harry tensed up again as Malfoy invited him in, but again he felt compelled to go in, he had no idea what had come over him, but he just felt that he had to spend time with Draco
"Cool" Draco moved to the side to let Harry in
As Harry squeezed passed Draco to get into the room he brushed against him, all of a sudden he felt the urge to grab him. Before he knew what he was doing Harry had Draco pinned to the back of the door, his hands pushed against his chest holding him there, their lips locked against each other, their tongues exploring each other's mouths. Draco eventually pushed Harry back, keeping his lips firmly on the other wizards, back onto one of the couches that were in the centre of the room; Draco was now lying over Harry, who strangely enough wasn't bothered at all about his current position.
Eventually it was Draco that realised exactly what they were doing and jumped back faster than a snitch moves on the quiditch pitch, "Harry….I am so, so sorry, I should never have let myself do that"
"No, no its fine, I was the one that kissed you….well, I think anyway" They were both flustered and stuttering now that they had realised what they had done
"But, still, I had said that I wouldn't do anything and there I was on top of you"
"It…its fine, don't worry about it" Harry was majorly confused right now, he thought that sitting down and just chatting would let him clear his head a bit, but instead entering the Slytherin common room had made it way worse for him, "I think I should go back to Gryffindor….I….I really have to try an clear my head and work out what is going on, sorry Malfoy" Harry looked over at Draco regretfully, he knew he had to try and sort out his head before he went insane at this rate
"That's fine, it might be better at this rate" Draco looked over at Harry regretfully, he thought that this time he had to have completely messed every chance he had up, and he didn't have that much of a chance in the first place
Harry headed out of the room and, instead of standing outside this time, took one glance at the door and headed along the corridor and up to the Gryffindor common room, he didn't realise how much time had passed while he was down in the dungeons, but now nobody was about, must all be down in the great hall for dinner he thought to himself, but Harry wasn't in the slightest bit hungry
