Anyhoo, enough about me – story time!!!!
14. Getting to know you
Draco stood outside the Potter's front door, pondering whether or not to ring the bell. He definitely wanted to see Harry, but the whole family thing was a little...uncomfortable for him.
'Stop being so bloody ridiculous,' he scolded himself.
He raised a hand and rung the doorbell. Within a few seconds the door opened to reveal Harry's mother, incredibly beautiful with auburn hair and bright green eyes.
'Harry's eyes.'
"Hello," she smiled warmly. "You're Harry's friend."
"Draco," he reminded her, unable to keep himself from smiling back.
"Yes, of course, I remember it now. Such a lovely name. Well, come in."
Draco followed Lily through the front door and into the kitchen where Harry sat talking animatedly with three men. Draco recognized one of them as Harry's father and the other as one of his teachers but he was unfamiliar with the third.
"You have a visitor Harry," said Lily as she swept into the room and busied herself in the kitchen.
Harry and the three men looked up.
Draco's heart melted as Harry smiled at him.
"Hey."
"Hi."
"Hmm, this is Draco Malfoy."
The teacher smiled. "Ah yes, you're going to be in my latin class, aren't you?"
Draco nodded. "Yes sir."
"Draco, this is Remus Lupin, latin teacher at Hogwarts High and kind of my god-father-in-law if that even exists. And this," Harry continued, beckoning to the man next to Remus, "Is my god-father, Sirius Black."
Draco joined them at the table and smiled as he saw that Harry was an exact carbon copy of his father – the same messy hair, the same build – except for the eyes. Remus, or Mr Lupin as Draco supposed he was to come to know him as, had light brown hair flopping into his hazel eyes. Sirius had short, black hair and grey eyes that seemed to be constantly laughing.
"Did you say your name was Draco?" asked Remus.
"Yes."
"Hmm, Draco...latin for dragon," the teacher mused.
Sirius chuckled. "Remy, please, for one moment, stop thinking about dead languages."
Remus pouted. "I was just curious. Trying to bring a little knoweledge to you people."
Draco grinned. "It means dragon, sir."
"Oh, stop calling me sir."
"Are you four gonna be here all night?" asked Harry, eyeing his parents and god-parents.
"We were going to go out for a meal or something," replied Lily. "Is that okay?"
Harry grinned. "That's great."
"And Morgan is staying over at a friends house."
Draco didn't see how it was possible, but Harry's grin grew wider. "Brilliant."
"We won't be back to late," continued Lily.
"Mum, I'm eighteen, I can handle my parents not being in the house," remarked Harry, not angrily but amused.
"I know you can honey. I just worry."
Harry wrinkled his perfect nose. "Mum!"
"Sorry, I'll stop."
"You just behave yourself tonight Harry," advised Siruis, looking at Harry meaningfully, his eyes still laughing.
"I always do," Harry smiled back. "Now, much as I love you guys, me and Draco have a very exciting english project to do," he continued, this time an undercurrent of sarcasm in his voice.
Once out of the kitchen, Harry smiled at Draco, an entirely different smile this time, and they went upstairs.
"Sorry for my family," the dark haired boy apologised, shutting the door of his room. "They're mentally insane and are currently off their meds."
Draco chuckled and sat on Harry's bed, leaning back on it tis time, unlike the first time he was in this room when he'd perched on the edge.
"Are we actually doing this project?"
Harry frowned. "No. Somehow after a day like today I can't get my head around sixty odd boys stuck on an island."
With a melodramatic sigh, he flung himself onto his bed, his feet lying over Draco's long legs.
"You," he remarked, "are incredibly cute."
Harry could've sworn Draco blushed slightly.
"How did you get so cute?"
Draco looked in deep thought for a moment. "My father's attractive and my mother's a really tiny bunny."
"Well good for them then," laughed Harry.
Draco moved slightly so he was now under Harry's calves.
"Harry?"
"Yea."
"How did your family and stuff react when you told them that you're gay?"
"Pretty well. My parents were a little shocked but they're excepting – I mean, yu just met their best friends – and they say as long as I'm happy..."
"What about your friends?"
A small smile crept on to Harry's face. "Hermione was very understanding, pretty much the same reaction as my parents, as long as I'm happy. And apparantly girls really like having gay best mates."
"So says Will and Grace," quipped Draco.
"Yea. And I believe Ron's reaction was 'no shit'."
"Was he joking?"
"No, the news of me wanting to sleep with guys did not shock him at all."
"You have good friends."
"I do. You don't?"
Draco shrugged. "My friends from england were...well, all like me."
Harry sat up, his legs still draped over Draco's and looked at him. "How so?"
Draco felt giddy, knowing that, at that moment, he had all of Harry's attention. His emerald eyes were fixed on Draco, eager to hear what he had to say.
"Smoking, drinking taking random pills." Draco looked at Harry, searching for any kind of shock or dislike.
Upon finding only what he had seen before, the blond boy continued. "There was a group of us...six or seven I suppose. Mostly sat around drinking. We changed partners randomly."
Draco rubbed the back of his neck, something Harry had noticed the other boy did when he was nervous or uncomfortable.
"That's why I got kicked out of my old school."
"You were expelled?"
Draco nodded. "Got caught with a girl on a teacher's desk. They weren't best pleased."
Harry chuckled. "No, I would think they weren't. So you came here?"
"Sort of. My parents sent me to live with my uncle."
The raven haired boy frowned. "Why?"
"Because I got caught."
"How do you mean?"
"All the people I used to know – my friends – they were all kids like me. Children of rich and powerful people. In these social circles, if you will, the kids can do whatever they want, and I do mean whatever. As long as they don't get caught."
"And you did?"
"Getting caught results in public scandal."
"Oh."
"So my parents practically disowned me and sent me here to live with Sev."
"I don't understand how people can...disown their own children."
Draco chuckled bitterly. "You come from a family that love you unconditionally. In my family and the families of the people I knew, there isn't any unconditionally. Our whole fucking family tree is based on fucking conditions."
Harry saw Draco was becoming more and more agitated and upset. Without a word, he removed his legs from Draco's and leant back against the wall next to the other boy. Then he slowy wrapped his arms around Draco's waist and pulled him closer to him.
"I'm sorry," muttered Draco, burying his head in Harry's neck.
"Why?" asked Harry, stroking Draco's back with his fingertips, sliding them under his shirt.
"For whining to you about my family and stuff."
"Don't be sorry. I don't mind."
Harry gently lifted Draco's chin.
"I want to know everything there is to know about you."
Draco straddled Harry's legs, the dark haird boys arms still wrapped around his waist. Slowly, slightly unsure, the blue eyed boy leant forward and ever so gently pressed his lips against Harry's.
Pulling Draco even closer to him, Harry ran his tongue lightly over Draco's bottom lip.
He groaned slightly, opening his mouth, allowing Harry to gently slip his tongue into the other boys mouth.
Massaging Draco's tongue with his own and delighted with the response Draco was giving him, Harry slipped his hands once again up the inside of Draco's shirt.
Suddenly, there came the sound of a door opening behind them and a shocked gasp followed by, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry."
I think that chapter was longer than the rest. Anyhoo – I don't really know what to say about this one 'cept keep reviewing.
And, also, the title of the story comes from the best song ever – Smashing Pumpkins – Ava Adore – dl it if you can.
The title of this chapter comes from a song and the title for chapter...9...I think (On the Road) is the name of a book by Jack Kerouac.
Other than that...
