Draco Malfoy and the Chamber of Secret Love Letters
By Nanaki BH
"Harry!" Draco stood on the landing of the Grand Entrance. He was wearing a simple loose grey sweater and a pair of faded old jeans. It's odd that he could own something old. I could have sworn everything he owned was new. "You're late! They've already left." He didn't sound too disappointed with me though. I practically jumped all the steps and almost fell right into him. Rather, it was more like he caught me... Okay, maybe it's more of a hug than a 'catch'. He was grinning from ear to ear, something I'm still finding hard to imagine when it comes to Draco Malfoy. He's been a bunch of surprises lately.
"What did you tell them?" I asked. We separated, but not for long. He gave me a smooth pat on the back and then took my hand.
"Eh... I just told them I was waiting for someone. They knew better than to question who I'd be waiting for. I work in mysterious ways, you know. So they just shrugged it off, perhaps thinking me odd, and just left on their own accord." He laughed. "I'm not odd am I, Harry?" He asked. His eyes were full of mirth. It was a pleasant change from his usual deadly stare.
"Not at all," I said. I used my free hand to brush a stray lock of hair from his face. "Shouldn't we be going? They might already be there."
"Surely," he whispered. He leaned over and gently gave me a kiss on the cheek. My face must have looked like the Forth of July.
It took only a short while to reach Hogsmeade. I liked going there in the carriages, but I think I liked this better. It made my feet sore, but I loved every minute of it.
I was amazed at how busy Hogsmeade was on this particular day. I don't think I've ever seen it so crowded. "Hey, Draco, what day is it?" I asked; our hands were still joined.
He looked mildly perplexed. "Um... Saturday, you mean?" He said.
I flicked his shoulder. "No, I knew that. I'm just wondering why it's so crowded here today. Do you know?"
He pointed to a pumpkin. "Halloween, Harry. It's only a month away. You know what kind of holiday that is here. It's practically Christmas. People start shopping in advance."
Yeah, I should have known. "Puddifoot's won't be crowded like this, will it? I think that's just for Valentine's Day." I gave his hand a light tug to lead him in the direction of the tea shop.
We stumbled past a few pumpkins and scarecrows, a few familiar faces and a few confused faces. To imagine what a ridiculous scene we must be to the average on-looker. Draco was lagging behind, tripping over his robes every now and then. "Harry!" he yelped. "Slow down! We have all night!" I stopped dead when I heard giggling.
Standing outside of Honeydukes was a group of unusually familiar girls. I couldn't help the sense of foreboding when the door opened. Out came Cho Chang. She was wearing, if possible, the skimpiest skirt he had ever seen. It was a mild temperature, nothing too hot, yet she wore a tube top to match the skirt. Draco smacked me when he saw me staring. "It's not that...!" I tried. He listened. "It's just so... startling, I guess. I don't exactly want to say disgusting, but I'm leaning toward it."
He grinned and glared at her. "Good. Your face says that you're telling the truth."
"Hmm?"
"Well, not anymore, but you had your face all scrunched up. It was like just looking at her was going to give you a hernia." Damn he's funny sometimes. As gross as that sounded, it was damn funny at the moment.
Then, like things just couldn't get worse, she reached into her candy bag and pulled out one of those giant unicorn horn lollipops. "Oh hell..." I muttered when she gave it one long, totally exaggerated lick. "Does she think that's sexy? Sure, she has my attention, but that's just nasty! Think of the bizarre mental images that could accompany that. If you did that I'd think it was dead sexy, but with her, it's like watching an old man making out with Aunt Marge. It's just so sick." I cringed.
Draco hugged my arm. "Hey, want me to get one when you leave? I'll eat it during potions for you. You know how Snape is with me. He'd kill anyone else for trying, but he'd let me. So think of it this way: when you have nothing better to do in that class, you can just sit by and watch me blow a lolly." I was trying hard to suppress my growing erection. Damn you, Draco! Haha... I actually made a pun with that!
"Sounds good then." I kissed his neck sweetly. It was like sending a bomb directly in their direction. I almost killed them then. I had to remember Hermione's warning. I can't kill them now! The girls were all squawking about it but Cho looked perfectly stable. She put her hands on their shoulders and the three other girls stopped talking. She smoothed out her skirt and made her way toward us.
She stopped almost right in front of my face. "Hey, Harry," she said in the 'sexiest' voice she could muster. "I thought you didn't like Draco. You know, aren't you, like, enemies or something?" She was getting way too close for comfort. "Do you have something in your front pocket for me, honey?" She asked, on the verge of one of those girlish giggles.
"I'm quite fine, thank you. Please leave us..."
"Listen, Ho Chang, if you have a problem with your 'honey' seeing other people, then you should really do something about it. All I see is a bit of skanky flirting," Draco pushed me back slightly so he could get up in her face. She was actually a lot shorter than him so he appeared very intimidating. "I believe that something in his front pocket belongs to me anyway, sweets." Draco grabbed me around the waist. "Come along now, Harry. We can't be associating ourselves with the scum of the city. Let's be along now." That's my Draco! I almost wanted to cry from how overjoyed I was. He had just told her off like... like... I don't know! I looked back to see one very stunned Cho being comforted by three very stunned groupies.
Once we were out of their sight I threw my arms around his neck. "You're the greatest, Draco! Did you see her face! I think you were a little blunt though. I mean, you practically said 'Harry's dick belongs to me' and left her hanging to gather that all by herself." My arms fell from his shoulders to slip his hand in mine again.
He gave my hand a tug and we continued to walk. "She needs to do some work. Let her figure it out for herself. Did you see her legs? They're so scrawny! It's like she doesn't even move." It's nice to be around people who hate her as much as me.
We were torn apart quite suddenly when one of those grossly cute baby cherubs zoomed out of Puddifoot's in our direction. "Serves you for nosing in on other people's business!" Was that... Ron? Has he gone homicidal suddenly? He shook his fist at the fleeting cherub but then noticed us. "Harry!" Well, it's nice to see I've brightened his mood a bit. I hate him when he gets like that. "...Draco..." Dammit.
I tried my best to give him a smile. I grabbed Draco's hand again (he must be getting sick of me) and practically dragged him over to Ron. "Hey, what are you doing here?" He knocked his knuckles against the door frame in annoyance.
"I was enjoying some tea with Hermione until that cherub became more to handle. I mean, wouldn't it annoy you if you had a strange, naked flying baby hovering over you while you're..." he trailed. Was he actually here on a date with Hermione? Why hadn't she told me? "Well, point being that it just freaked me out. I had to do something about it!"
I sighed. "What, so you decided to give it a good whack? Have you been that way with everything lately?" Yes.
He glared at Malfoy. "Only with him." With that he stalked back into the tea shop.
"To imagine Hermione would go out with him," Draco said breathily. "A simply amazing pair, don't you think?"
He's usually right like that. "Wait..." The impact of his words only struck me now. "You called her Hermione!"
"Oi, Harry. I don't think you've grasped the full specs. I said they were a couple. You should be more shocked over that one, deary." He rubbed the back of my neck. "Now, let's get inside before you explode from all the fun you've had today."
He led me inside blindly. "Couple? Them?"
He chuckled. "Yes, yes, Harry. They're a couple. Do you need your medication now or later for that?"
I punched his shoulder playfully. "Meany."
"Hello! Welcome to Madame Puddifoot's Tea Shop! How may I help you?" Holy crap! I almost fell over from the volume of her voice. I hadn't realized we were already next to a waitress. "Sorry, I'm newly employed." She laughed in nervously. "Anyway, were would you two like to sit?" She looked at us funny for a second, probably noticing that we were Puddifoot's first gay couple in... forever.
It doesn't matter though. I'm going to sit here and have my goddamn tea with my boyfriend whether they like it or not.
Author's Notes: Yes! You guys finally have another chapter. It's about twice the size of all the others too. Hehe. If you hadn't noticed "I have something in my front pocket for you" was a South Park reference. It's a hilarious song. I loved it so much that I had to add it. In the next chapter you'll get what you've finally been waiting for, a confession of true love. Aw... I hope you liked the Cho bashing in this chapter! There could possibly be more. Do tell, do you want them to sit at the front of the shop, where they can be seen, or at the back with some privacy? Hehe! I hope you liked this chapter!
