CHAPTER FOUR
"Harry, what did Dad and Madame Pomfrey say?" Draco crawled up on the bed next to his boyfriend.
"They said that it will be at least another week before I'm fully healed but that I am allowed to get up and move around if I am very careful."
Draco's face lit up. This was exactly the moment that he had been waiting for. "Well, how about we head out to the gardens? I know you hate staying in bed any more than is necessary."
Harry gave his boyfriend a pleased smile before getting up and heading towards the bathroom.
"Give me fifteen minutes to shower and get dressed."
"I'll wait for you right here. Dad will murder me if I leave you alone."
Of course, that was simply an excuse. After having come so close to loosing the Potter heir, he didn't think he could bear to leave the young wizard alone…even for fifteen minutes.

"Thank Merlin I am out of that room. I thought I was going to go mad if I had to stay in there another minute."
Draco smiled and put his arm around Harry's shoulder. He decided to keep his mouth shut for once - although he longed to say something about Harry's many escapes from the Infirmary in the past.
He caught Harry's surprised look but ignored it. Now if he could just figure out how to bring up the topic…
"Draco? Are you going to the trial for Albus and Peter next week?"
"I was thinking about it. I want to see them punished for what they did to you." Draco ran his hands over his face and decided to run with it. "I've never been so scared in my life. When I realized that I might loose you, I realized exactly how much I loved you."
"I love you, too, Draco."
"Good." Draco reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring box. "In that case, will you marry me?"
Harry turned wide eyes on the beautiful diamond and emerald engagement ring that Draco held.
"I would love nothing more than to marry you, Draco."
Draco's hands shook as he slid the ring on Harry's finger. He raised his hands to frame Harry's face and pulled his fiancé into a kiss
As they pulled apart, Harry started giggling. "Do you realize how my mum and Narcissa are going to react?"
Draco groaned. He was not looking forward to all of the planning. "How do you feel about eloping?"
Harry just fell off the bench in his laughter. Great. Draco supposed that was a "no" to eloping.

That evening as everyone sat down to dinner, Lily caught a flash of light from her oldest son's finger. When she saw what it was, she gasped.
When everyone looked at her, she flushed but spoke up.
"Do you have something to tell us, Harry?"
Sam was the next to notice the ring. He grabbed his brother's hand to get a better look.
"Draco proposed to me this morning." Harry shrugged, uncomfortable with all of the attention. "I said yes."
"Obviously."
Draco and Harry exchanged looks as their families all started speaking. The next months were going to be trying for both of them as their mothers planned the wedding.
