Harry snuck back through the oak front doors to the castle, he couldn't believe he had even thought about going to Hargrid's with out the map or his cloak. He climbed the marble staircase and began heading to the Gryffindor common room. He turned onto the seventh floor corridor, the portrait of the fat lady was in sight now, he had made it.

"A little late to be out don't you think Potter?" came a smug voice and Draco Malfoy stepped out of the shadow behind a statue. "Or were you looking for me." He added quickly remembering the dare.

"Leave it Malfoy." Harry sneered and carried on walking. Draco ran ahead and stood in front of Harry blocking his path. "I am not in the mood Malfoy now move!" he shouted and pushed Malfoy.

"Oo-oo getting physical are we?" Draco licked his lip, and watched as Harrys gazed was immediately drawn to his tongue flicking along his own lips. Unconsciously Harry was mimicking the action with his own tongue. Draco smirked, the plan was working. Harry looked up into the grey eyes of the taller boy, and the eyes looked back at his. All of a sudden Harry felt a spark of electricity flow through his body and before he knew it he had pushed Draco against a wall and was latching his mouth onto the Slytherins. Draco pushed Harry off him. "What do you think you are doing Potter!" Draco yelled wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"But I thought… you were…"

"You thought wrong!" Draco yelled and stormed off, completely forgetting to deduct house points for Harry being out late.

Harry lay in bed that night just staring up at the ceiling, he couldn't sleep. What had he done, he had made a complete fool of himself, by tomorrow morning it would be all over the school that Harry was gay and he had forced himself on Malfoy. Was he gay? He thought to himself. Harry had kissed Cho last year and this year he had thought he had a crush on Ron's younger sister Ginny, but neither of them felt like he had just before he kissed Malfoy. Harry shut his eyes trying to think of anything other than Malfoy, he tried think of Ginny, what it would be like to kiss her. As he leaned in for his imaginary kiss the girls face suddenly seemed like it was melting away and it was replaced by Malfoys before Harry could notice. Harry felt the electricity again and he sandwiched Malfoys bottom lip between his own. This time Malfoy didn't push him away, but instead used his tongue to lever open Harrys mouth and begin exploring it.

Harry woke in a cold sweat, he sat up and was met by four pairs of eyes staring at him.

"What!" Harry almost scolded. "It is no surprise to any of you that I have nightmares." He said picking up his glasses and pushed them onto his nose. The others shrugged and carried on with what they were doing.

Harry decided to skip breakfast, he didn't know how far the news would have spread yet, but he didn't fancy finding out in the great hall. He packed his bag and headed instead for is first lesson of Care of magical creatures.

At the same time Draco was sat on the edge of his bed with his head in his hands. The others from his dorm had already gone to breakfast, but he didn't feel hungry at all. He couldn't shift the fuzzy feeling inside him when he thought about last night. This couldn't be happening to him, Draco had, for a few years now, known that he had slight gay tendencies; it had resulted in his sharing a kiss with a fellow male Slytherin last year but nothing other than that. He had never had a relationship with another boy, but he hadn't had one with a girl either, although he had kissed far more of them. Draco shook himself out of his thoughts and continued getting dressed, fastening the loose white shirt around his toned torso.

Harry pushed Draco against the wall of the shower, he trailed kisses along his neck and up along his jaw finally letting their lips meet in a very slow and passionate kiss. Draco placed his hands on Harrys lower back and pulled him closer to him, he felt harry shudder. Harrys tongue slowly draw patterns along the roof of Dracos mouth, who groaned the pleasure he was feeling back into Harry's. Harry placed his hands on Dracos chest and moved his mouth there also. He ran his hands down to Draco's stomach and could feel all the muscles in it tense under the touch. He smiled and lowered his hands again, they were resting just above the blond curls of hair. Draco's breathing was becoming ragged.

Harry was the first to arrive for the lesson, Hagrid hadn't even arrived yet. He was staring at the basket of dead ferrets that had been placed there, and realised they must be revisiting Hippogriffs. Harry heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Malfoy walking across the grass, he stopped a little way from Harry and sat down on the grass. Harry thought it was strange seeing Malfoy on his own, and also strange that he hadn't thrown an insult towards Harry about the night before.
