Chapter Seven
Realizing Feelings
James stared at his son before taking his glasses off to rub his eyes wearily. He placed them back on his nose with a sigh. Emerald stared at him waiting for an explosion to happen at any second. Silver stood loyally beside him knowing the trouble that all of this could ensue.
"I realize how much this could cost you all. I wish to speak this over with Lily and Narcissa, do you mind?" James asked. Emerald turned looking at Silver communicating with their eyes. Harry and Draco waited quietly not saying a word. Silver sighed looking over at James.
"I know mother's more open-minded than father so I consent to mother but if things do not go well please just leave everything be. We will all suffer in silence. If you can fix Bianca's and Michael's at least there may be hope for the rest of us. Just don't mention us for the moment if you can avoid it, sir." Silver answered. Emerald nodded in agreement with Silver. James smiled softly while nodding.
"Now go have some fun for the day." James stated shooing them out of the room. They moved quickly to follow his order.
Harry stood silently behind Draco staring quietly at his past self. Emerald sighed turning to look at Harry before grabbing him leaving the two Malfoy's alone to talk to each other as well.
Emerald sighed as he pulled Harry into his bedroom and closed the door with a dull thud. He flopped on the messy bed and chuckled morbidly at the ceiling before him.
"Guess you didn't see that one coming?" Emerald asked quietly. Harry moved farther into the room, to observe the entire room was done in green and silver which made him internal laugh at the irony. He sat down in the nearby chair to stare at Emerald.
"To be honest, no I didn't see that one coming. Draco and I have hated each other for so long, I think we have forgotten why we fight in the first place. Our rivalry is very much talked about by the students at Hogwarts and everyone always waits to see what happens year after year. It seems things changed over the years." Harry said quietly. Emerald sat up to stare at his twin with a sigh.
"But in actual fact you do not hate him, do you?" Emerald asked looking seriously. Harry leaned his head back to stare at the ceiling trying to evaluate if he really did hate Draco Malfoy or if after all this time something had changed or if he had just pretended all along that he hated him when in actual fact he didn't. They hadn't been in the past very long but something had changed he was sure of that and it had made him realize what he had been hiding all along from his friends and from himself.
"I don't hate him, no but we have our differences. I don't know if we'll ever get our differences patched." Harry replied quietly still refusing to let himself accept what he knew was there. Emerald shook his head slowly and stood up walking over to his twin before kneeling before him on the lush carpet.
"I want you to close your eyes. Now concentrate on him and tell me what you really think or feel about him." Emerald said quietly. Harry closed his eyes and thought of only the blond haired boy that he had been fighting with for five years. He breathed in slowly making the image clearer.
"His blond hair looks so soft and often I have thought how it would feel as I brushed my fingers through it. Those liquid silver eyes; when in the briefest moment our eyes meet I could swear I had drowned and wish never to leave again. When he's on his broom racing around me, I could swear he was an angel that fell from heaven especially with that milky white skin of his. The way he moves and walks its like he is on a cloud and that he would never touch the ground. His lips no matter what they are doing look so soft and if you were to kiss those lips it would be a sin for you would be stealing a kiss from an angel of heaven. The smell that seems to follow him is this mixture of musk, vanilla and something that you know is purely Draco. I have never admitted it but I always knew I had a crush on him. Who would have thought that you could like the person you are supposed to hate." Harry said carefully choosing his words.
Suddenly the door opened banging against the wall and Harry's eyes flew open to see Silver standing there and another blond head running out of the room. He stared at Emerald in shock that he hadn't stopped him when the two Malfoy's had come in the room. Emerald looked up at Silver in annoyance that he had come in without knocking and the other shrugged in return. Harry stood up and stormed out of the door going the opposite way from where his Malfoy went.
Draco ran and ran, flying past places and people all wondering where he was going in such a hurry. He didn't know where he was going he just knew he had to get out and away from this place, back to the future where things were simpler and he didn't have to deal with Harry Potter for too long. He burst through glass doors and ran across an open grassy field towards the thick forest between the two castles.
Finally Draco stopped, crumbling to his knees breathing heavy and feeling emotional exhausted. He didn't understand why Harry would say anything like that. He was tainted, dirty and didn't deserve to be thought about like he just was. Harry shouldn't like him, it just wasn't possible. His fondest dream and worst nightmare came true in those few seconds. He had worshipped Harry when he was a child. After meeting him, something changed and he started to like Harry as well but he knew they could never be together that was forbidden. They would be forbidden because they were supposed to be enemies and it wasn't possible for them to change that fact.
Draco sat down letting his thoughts wash over him as he pulled his knees to his chest and buried his head down deep into his knees. He didn't know how long he sat there, it could have been a few minutes or a half hour to an hour. His eyes suddenly opened when someone groaned as they sat down beside him. He raised his head slowly to stare into curious green eyes, his eyes quickly shot up to the boys fringe and saw the lightning bolt scar to make sure it was Harry beside him not Emerald.
"What do you want?" Draco muttered placing his head back down not wanting to look at the other boy and partially hoping he would disappear at the same time. Harry placed a hand gently on Draco's arm forcing him to look up again. Draco sighed waiting for an answer.
"I wanted to tell you everything I said, I meant it. It wasn't just a bunch of shit that I made up. What I said is exactly the way I think about you and feel about you." Harry replied gently. Draco's silver eyes widened at the statement before he shook his head in disbelief. "I don't know how much you heard. Otherwise I could tell you the rest if you wish, maybe then you'll believe me."
"The only thing I heard was something about being purely Draco and your confession." Draco muttered. Harry smiled at him slowly before moving to sit in front of Draco so they could be face to face and look at each other.
"Your blond hair looks so soft and often I have thought how it would feel as I ran my fingers through it. Your liquid silver eyes amaze me for in the briefest moment our eyes meet I could swear I had drowned and wish never to leave again. When you're on your broom racing around me, I could swear you are an angel that fell from heaven especially with that milky white skin of yours. The way you move and walk its like you are on a cloud and that you would never touch the ground. Your lips no matter what they are doing look so soft and if I were to kiss your lips it would be a sin because I would have stole a kiss from an angel. The smell that seems to follow you is this mixture of musk, vanilla and something that I know is purely you." Harry said never once looking away from Draco's eyes. Draco looked at him shocked before sighing.
"I don't think anyone has said anything so beautiful to me before in all my life. I don't think I could ever do you justice if I were to talk about you like that." Draco stated softly. Harry smiled softly at him.
"I don't mind. I –" Draco placed a finger to Harry's lips to stop him from talking before looking at him with a small smile.
"The first thing you notice as you walk into the room, any room for that matter is your sharp intense emerald green eyes that capture you never wanting to let you go and I never want to let go. Your jet black hair which is always messed is like you have climbed out a hurricane and the gods somehow allowed you to live here on earth with all the other mortal beings that do not deserve your presence. Your scar may show everyone what you have done but it is the mark of the gods that you are their chosen one. Your sun-kissed skin beckons me to be the sun so that I may touch your seemingly soft skin. I have thought many times that if I were to touch you I would get burned by the radiance that surrounds you. I have often followed the sweet smell of peaches and that smell that is uniquely you for it is not of this earth. Your lips would be like sweet nectar and to partake of it would cause the gods to declare you unworthy of a simple kiss. That is how I think of you." Draco said quietly not sure if he could ever explain what he really wanted to say with words. Harry smiled and blushed at the compliments.
"Thank you, Draco. I have never had a beautiful compliment like that. No one has spoken to me like that and all my life and I don't think they ever will again." Harry said. Draco looked away shyly blushing brightly while also checking that they were completely alone. Harry reached over placing his hand gently on Draco's smooth cheek who moved closer to the caress. He smiled pulling Draco into hug him gently. They sat curled up together there for several minutes maybe even longer they didn't know until running feet came towards them. Draco practically jumped out of Harry's arms so as to not get them in trouble for being together. Emerald and Silver came running towards them out of breath.
"Dad's looking for us." Emerald said. Harry stood and then helped Draco up. The four of them ran back to the house to find James.
