Cafe Rendezvous

Chapter Three

"You're leaving now?" asked Pansy Parkinson, frowning.

It was the night after the third task. Draco Malfoy was all packed up to go 'home'. In reality, he was leaving the wizarding world forever. He didn't know where he was heading, but he was willing to go wherever it takes him.

Draco nodded. "I'm taking care of our enagement problem."

Draco and Pansy have been enaged since they were approximately two years old and were forced to attend events with each other. Draco loved Pansy dearly, but only as a really good friend. He was taking care of their enagement problem, just not the way Pansy thought he was. The night after he left home, he informed his fiance that he was leaving Hogwarts early so he could deal with the problem. They had discussed this before, so it didn't come as a surprise. Secretly, Pansy and Blaise Zabini(another one of Draco's close friends) liked each other, but never had the opportunity because of the enagement.

Pansy stood up, she was sitting on Draco's bed. She walked up to Draco, and hugged him tightly. "I got a feeling about this, I feel liek I won't see you for a while."

The blonde boy shook his head, "No, not for a while."

It was true. Pansy and Blaise(who was also in the room with them two) thought Draco was returning to Hogwarts next term. But the reality was that, Draco was leaving the Wizarding World, forever, or at least he planned to.

"Can't you wait after a while?" asked Blaise.

"Father wanted me to come earlier, but I said I wanted to see all the tasks. So he permitted me to stay an extra few days. Look, I'm going to miss you guys, okay? And whatever happens, I want you to know I'm okay." reasurred Draco.

Pansy nodded. But Blaise had a confused expression on his face, however he ignored his insticts, "Well! We'll always be best friends to the end, no matter right, isn't that correct!" exclaimed Blaise, trying to lighten up the mood.

"Yeah, to the end." agreed Draco. He knew that the end was soon, and he knew that his two friends will be true to their words. He hated deciving to his friends.

"How about a group hug?" asked Blaise.

Draco chuckled, he approached Pansy and Blaise and hugged them both at the same time.

"Bye." spoke Draco. It was time to go, he couldn't procrasite any longer. He sighed, he had been degrading this day for ages.

When Draco got out of the castle. He stood outside the doors, in front of Hogwarts. He was going to miss this place. A single tear fell from Draco's eyes. He hated leaving the place where he considered home.

The blue eyed boy didn't bring much with him. He couldn't. He couldn't risk being identified after he left his world. And entering into new unknown terriority, another world. Without no magic. He only carried one bag, he only brought the essentials; muggle money, clothes, and hygenical supplies.

Draco began walking to the Hogsmeade station and was nearly there until he heard running footsteps. He paused and turned around and saw, "Potter?"

Potter was running up to Draco. He had an angry expression on his face. "Where the fuck do you think you're going, Malfoy?" asked Potter.

"And why would you care?" retorted Draco.

"Well, you're going home so you'll get marked, isn't that right, Malfoy? You're going to become another one of those pathetic death eaters who kiss the hem of Voldemort! You're just like your father, I thought you were different. But I can see that I was wrong!" exclaimed Potter, and turned around.

"I'll never be my father! I'd never bow down to a filthy creature like... him. You don't know me. Yes, I am different from my father. You, don't understand." explained Draco, and Potter stopped then faced Draco.

"Oh really? Then why didn't you tell me all about yesterday. You knew all about it, but you didn't tell me!" said Potter, his green eyes fierce with anger.

"I admit that I knew. But, at least, I warned you. I promised my father that I wouldn't say anything. I didn't expect... Diggory to die. I apologize. I told you that you had to win. But did you listen? Noo! You didn't. I don't blame you for his death. Whatever you do, you can't blame yourself. It was all... that half-blooded monster that thinks he's pureblooded's fault. I'm sorry it happened. It has happened, and you can't change that... I'm truly sorry." said Draco with a frown.

Potter stared at him. "You are different after all."

"Yeah, well, I have to go." said Draco.

"Where are you going?" asked Potter.

Draco frowned. "Away from here."

The green eyed boy was starled. "What do you mean?" asked Potter.

"It's the last time you'll ever see me. I'm going away, forever." confessed Draco.

"W-what? Are y-you serious? Then, who will I fight with?" asked Potter. He looked geniunely worried.

Draco laughed. "You're saying you'll miss fighting with me?" asked Draco with a raised eyebrow.

Potter just realized what he said. But Draco was right. Potter blushed, and slowly nodded.

"I'll miss ya too, rival." said Draco and he took out his hand.

Potter shook it, "I'm sorry I never accepted your hand, all those years ago."

Draco shook his head. "Better late than never." And hopped onto the train to Kings Cross Station.

And that was the last time anyone ever saw Draco Malfoy.

It was the day after Harry and Draco went to the club. Draco was at work, he couldn't stop thinking about what happened last night. He wasn't in a pleasant mood, he was angry, how dare did 'Evan' do that to him.

Harry was anxious. He stood in front of Cafe Rendezvous. He was still surprised that he was in Syracruse. He didn't think he would ever leave the wizarding world. After defeating Voldemort in his seventh year at Hogwarts, and then proceeded onto being the seeker of the British Quidditch team, he hadn't had a break. So here he was, in Syracruse, having a break from the Wizarding world, he didn't want any more witches or wizards pestering him.

That was one of the reasons that he went by Evan Rodgers. Witches and Wizards all over the world would easily recogonize the name 'Harry Potter'. And he used a strong glamour charm on his scar, so it was perfectly concealed.

He couldn't wait any longer. He walked in, looked around the Cafe, and did not see the boy that he wanted to see. So he walked over to the counter, and saw an elegant woman with long chesnut brown hair.

"Uh, hello?" asked Harry.

The woman gave Harry a smile. "Good afternoon, how may I serve you?"

"Uh... Is Hayden in?" asked Harry, weakly chuckling.

The woman nodded. "He's right over there, by the window."

Harry thanked the woman. He started walking over to the boy that he was nervous about approaching. He was worried, about if he was mad, and if he was then they wouldn't be friends. So Harry took this opportunity so he could talk to him and apologize for his behaviour.

He finally arrived to where 'Hayden' was. He checked out the other boy for briefly. He was behind him. He held in his breath, and tapped on the boy's shoulder.

Draco turned around, and saw at him, squeezed his eyes, then frowned. Harry whispered in his ear, "Can I have a word with you?"

"Can't you see I'm busy here?" Draco pratically hissed.

Harry frowned, he didn't to make a scene. "Can't you just take a minute, I mean-It's really important."

Then a blonde haired girl, battling her eyelashed appeared beside Harry. Harry looked at her in disgust.

She smiled at Draco, "Hayden, darling, I would be more than pleased to take over for a while."

Harry rolled his eyes. Then he noticed that Draco was staring at him. So, Harry put on his best 'sad puppy' look, and Draco spat out, "Fine!"

Draco took Harry's hand and went through the back, and went outside, so now they were at the back alley. Harry smiled at this, because Draco held his hand. He didn't mind that Draco was actually mad.

"So, what is this all about? Why did you have to drag me out of work?" asked Draco, angrily.

"Well, I was actually the one that was dragged." said Harry.

'Whatever... Get to the point." ordered Draco.

Harry frowned. "I'm really sorry about last night. I didn't mean to scare you off or anything."

"Yeah, whatever. Is this all?" asked Draco, he was tapping his foot impatiently.

Harry asked, "Do you hate me now?"

Draco's face fell. "No, what made you think that?"

"Your attitude, you were acting rude just now." explained Harry.

"Geez, fuck. I'm sorry. What am I supposed to think? You kissed me! And, that has never happened before!" exclaimed Draco.

"You've never been kissed?" asked Harry in shock. How did this beautiful boy in front of him, have never been kissed?

Draco laughed. "Of course, I've been kissed. But...Never, with... You know... A guy!"

Harry mouthed 'o'. "Well, it was my first time too. I've always known that, I er- was gay."

"Was?" questioned Draco, with an eyebrow raised.

"Still, am. You get my point."

"How dare you kiss me!" exclaimed Draco, angrily. His eyes were like ice right now.

Harry shrugged. "I didn't know you were forbidden."

"Hah! I could as well be."

Harry chuckled. Then Draco frowned, he was incredibly confused.

"Why me though?" asked Draco, he was at the brink of tears.

"What do you mean?" replied Harry.

Draco sighed. "What's so special about me, that you had to kiss me?"

Harry shrugged. "I don't know, I mean... From the time I first met you, I was attracted to you. I don't know why, but I am."

Draco looked at him. "I understand."

"I'm sorry. If you don't want to be friends anymore.. I understand." said Harry with a frown, and started to leave.

"No! I mean, I still want us to be friends. To be honest, Uh.." said Draco with a gulp, and at this, Harry paused.

"What is it?" asked Harry.

"I think...I'm attracted to you. I've never... felt this about a guy, before. Well, I don't think I've ever felt this about anyone. It's scary..." said Draco.

Harry walked up to Draco. Draco took a deep breath. He could feel Harry's lips ghosting on him. He could feel the other boy's heartbeat which was beating rapidly.

Draco blinked. Harry pressed against him. Draco could feel it hardening. He had never been, ahem, hard. At least, not like this. Draco pulled Harry closer, bringing their lips close. It was heaven, their mouths meshed together, he could feel his lips bruising already. Draco's lips parted, giving Harry permission for entrance, Harry's tongue entered, exploring the caverns of Draco's mouth, sucking on Draco's tongue, savoring the other boy's saliva.

Harry was the one who stopped this kiss. It was better than they'd ever expected. And Draco let him, touch him. Draco was now, trying to catch his breath.

Harry smiled. Draco blushed.

"That was, intense." said Draco as he caught his breath.

Harry nodded. "Thank you."

"Uh, well, this doesn't mean that we're boyfriends or anything like that sort." said Draco. Harry nodded in agreement.

"I think I still want to get to know you more though." said Harry.

Draco nodded. "That's fine with me. We're just friends. You got that, meaning you can't kiss me whenever you feel like it. Got that?"

Harry smiled. "I know."

"And besides, I'm not sure, about this... You know, I'm just so incredibly confused right now." confessed Draco.

"Oh."

"But! I really liked the kiss. Can you kiss me again?" asked Draco, blushing. He didn't know what the hell he was doing,

Harry smiled, and he lended in for another one.
