Rewards for patience

Disclaimer- I own nothing but the plot… sobs…

A/N: Wow so it's been longer than it usually has since I've updated, but I really didn't have a clue what to do with this fic. But you'll see what I've decided. I hope you like this chapter, PLEASE review!

Draco's p.o.v-

The great hall was packed, perfect. Draco was sure he should be nervous, but he just couldn't wait. He didn't care about what people thought anymore. Life was too short. Draco needed to be with Harry, and this was the perfect way to win him back. He thought. Maybe. Hopefully. As he looked around everyone had just started lunch, Harry was sat down on the Gryffindor table, wedged in between Weasley and Granger. Now was the moment, Draco felt it. He did feel a twinge of guilt about the situation with Blaise, but he had talked with him earlier and explained why he had done what he had and that he was very sorry for leading him on. Blaise had been upset, as was expected, but Draco was impressed with his quick acceptance of Draco's decision. It seems he had been expecting it.

Pushing all of this to the back of his mind, Draco gathered all of his courage and feelings for Harry together, ready to let them burst forth. Then slowly he stood up, climbed on to the bench and then onto the table. He was now much taller than everyone else in the room and was already turning heads from the Slytherin table.

So he shouted. "HARRY POTTER!"

Harry's p.o.v-

The whole hall was silent. And everyone was looking at Draco, even the teachers. Harry didn't know what was coming, but he wanted to. The look on Draco's face was not anger, as it usually was when he shouted Harry's name, but a pure happiness. A kind of confident certainty, almost like he was willing Harry to meet him up in these clouds. So being the stupidly reckless Gryffindor that he was, Harry also climbed onto a table and yelled "Draco Malfoy!" across the room. Draco's expression, if possible, glowed further and he opened his mouth to speak.

"I owe you an apology Harry and an explanation. I have been brought up in a world where image is everything and when you came along with your modest and plain acceptance of everything I had become it threw me. It threw me because no-one had ever just accepted me- no, more than that- liked me for exactly who I was. Sometimes it was my own fault, because I don't easily let down my guard and show the real me Potter. You are one of a few people who know me, and like me for it. And it felt bloody brilliant. You hadn't completely knocked down my wall though, I was still far to concerned by what others would think. But now, you have inspired me, and I can see that it all doesn't matter as long as you have one person who will love you.

So here I am Harry, in front of the whole school, asking you… if you will be that person. Will you love me Harry Potter?"

Through the whole speech Harry had been in a numb shock, he could see the honesty in Draco's eyes and knew this was for real but he still felt like pinching himself. For surely, nothing so perfect could be anything but a dream. Hermione tapped his leg impatiently, obviously wanting an explanation. Ron whispered "what the fuck is going on" up to him but apart from this, the rest of the hall was still silent and waiting for Harry's reply on baited breath. Harry, however, had eyes only for Draco. Then he closed his eyes.

"I will love you." Harry gave an impromptu chuckle. "I think we both know I already have been for a long time. I want you. And I do love you. I do." Then Harry opened his eyes. Gasps were running around the hall and a muttering was breaking out but Draco's eyes were shining. Ron and Hermione were talking to him but he wasn't taking anything in. He had to get to Draco. He jumped down from the Gryffindor table but climbed straight over the Hufflepuff one. Draco had done the same with the Ravenclaw's and they met in the middle. People were standing and openly staring now all talking animatedly amongst each other. Draco and Harry were in a bubble, oblivious to the outside world. Harry put a hand on Draco's cheek.

"You meant it?" It was only half a question.

"Every word." Draco replied.

The kiss that followed was filled with all the passion of two Romeo and Juliet esque lovers who had been kept apart for two weeks, finally re-acquainting themselves with each other's comforting lips. The kiss lasted for what felt too short to Harry, but had probably gone on for quite some time. The thing that had finally broken them apart was a huge cheer that had gone up from the pupils of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry.

"They're…cheering for us?" Harry questioned.

"Yes. They accept us. Harry we're accepted."

"No Draco. We're loved."

Epilogue

Draco's p.o.v-

"Oh god Draco, more." Harry moaned.

Draco had him pinned down on their bed and his arms tied to the posters.

"Sorry Harry, didn't quite catch that, what?" Draco was enjoying teasing his boyfriend.

"Prick" Harry muttered.

"Don't you know it" Draco stuck his tongue out at Harry. But then he got back down to the task at hand. Or at mouth technically… When he ran his tongue lazily down the other boys length, Harry screamed out in frustration. But Draco merely laughed. "You'll get more if I see fit to give you more." This was priceless. Draco Malfoy had the boy who lived al trussed up and completely at Draco's mercy. Wow. It doesn't get much better than this.

They had been officially together for six months now, and neither of them were even remotely tired of each other. In fact, they were constantly trying new things, like tonight for example. Their N.E.W.T's were fast approaching and the couple had taken to having a bit of… stress release each night to help out each other.

With one last long hard suck, Draco finished of Harry, and he went over the edge whimpering and calling out Draco's name. How did Draco get so lucky? These last six months had been the best of his life: his boyfriend was perfect, they both had a new father like relationship with Severus and both sets of friends and Draco's mother had accepted the boy's relationship. Wow. Life was good right now.

Draco didn't know what the future would be. Who knew what could happen after their exams were over and they left school. But Draco couldn't see himself without Harry, they had and electrical bond so powerful it hurt the more time they spent apart.

And after all, they were each other's purpose.
