And the conversation with Harry and Ginny. Hope you like it :)B
HARRY
The dark haired man sighed as he sat on the steps of his apartment, waiting on the girl to show up. It had been a week since Draco let it slip about Fred, but that wasn't what was bugging Harry. They had been too busy to really see each other after that kiss and Harry didn't know what the other man really thought about it. Harry made the bold move and the fact that Draco gave him a second one had to mean something.
"Harry."
Harry looked down to see Ginny standing at the bottom of the stairs. He scooted over and waited for her to walk up next to him, smiling in hello. He sat with his arms draped over his knees as he waited for her to say something, mostly because he didn't know how to start anything.
"You asked me here, what did you wanna say? Did you love him?" she whispered, looking at the trees and not the man next to her.
He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "I did once, I think. A lot was going on, Gin. You know we wouldn't have worked anyway, right? You never wanted kids, you told me that. I have Ted…"
"Yes, Harry. I know. I tried explaining it mum, but all she did was complain that you'd rather have dick than pussy. Tell you the truth, I never heard her sound like that. Helps me understand how we didn't know about Fred. She was real mad when you took them off the vaults. I haven't spoken with her or Ron since you did that."
Harry turned to look at her. "I have to tell you something. You're not gonna like it, and Mim yelled at me for it."
She turned to look at him. "I cheated on you, Harry. I didn't know how else to get ou…"
"I pictured Fred." he blurted.
He watched her eyes get wide, and he turned his head. He was hoping she'd hit him or something, he deserved it. When he didn't hear her, or feel a slap, he turned to see a tear in her eye. "Oh, Gin. I'm sorry. It's just everyone was pushing us together and I didn't mean to. It wasn't at first, but I knew you'd want to be more intimate and I couldn't do it. I tried so hard to, you have to believe me. It wasn't because you aren't beautiful, because you are. It's just…"
"I have tits."
He smiled. "Yea. I knew we were alright when you left, Ginny. Your family, though. I try to tell myself that it'd be different if it was Fred that came out, but I don't know. I thought I was family."
She nodded. "Yes, I never thought mum would say some of those things. How about I'll forgive you if you forgive me. I don't think we'll ever be as close, but I don't want to totally lose you and Hermione."
"I kissed Draco the other day." Harry whispered. "Before it gets out, whatever the fuck it is, I wanted you to know. Mim heard you're with Dean."
Ginny sighed and smiled a big smile. "Yes. It's weird, huh. You and Malfoy. Me and Dean. Maybe we should have been more open to things. All I saw was you, messed up a lot of relationships. When I finally had you, though…"
Harry smiled. "I'm not the fantasy, Gin. I'm human."
She laughed. "Yes. Anyway...Dean's at the Leaky, so I should go."
Harry stood and walked down with her, giving her a small hug, watching as she walked toward the muggle entrance to the street. Harry sighed and walked back up the stairs. He needed a drink. He said what he needed and now he could rest. He opened his door and closed it behind him. He opened his fridge, looking for something to eat. Teddy wanted to stay with Luna and Neville to play with their twins, so Harry was by himself. He pulled out the things needed for a ham sandwich and then took a butterbeer, heading to his living room.
He turned on the TV and pushed in some TV show he had started on Netflix. Hermione had showed him the wonders of this thing for the TV and Harry was hooked to all kinds of viewing on it. He sat back and stretched his legs on the big ottoman in the center of his room as he leaned back to eat. As he finished eating and sit his plate beside him, a knock sounded. He got up and paused the show, going up to answer the door.
"Pansy? What happened?"
Her face looked like someone bashed it against a wall and Harry ushered her in.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't go to Draco. He'd bug me for who did it and then end up in Azkaban, Harry."
Harry helped her sit on the couch and sat on the ottoman across her. "Tell me."
Pansy took in a breath and let it out. "My ex. I was out with Seamus and my ex showed up. We got into it and then Seamus got rid of him. What I didn't know was he still had his key to my flat. As soon as I woke up, I came here. I don't know what to do."
Harry pulled her to him as she broke. He whispered soothing thoughts into her hair as she cried, knowing he needed to contact Draco, and maybe Seamus. When she calmed down, Harry noticed she was sleeping. Harry laid her down and then got a blanket before fire calling Draco.
"Harry, how did it go?" he hears as Draco got down to see him. "What's wrong, Harry?"
Harry let out a breath. "She's going to kill me, but you need to come through. It's important."
Harry stood back and then sent his patronus to Hermione, knowing a girl might help. Draco came through, looking concerned. "What's important?"
Harry ran his hand through his hair, trying not to notice that the man forgot his shirt. "Um...Pansy."
Harry motioned to his couch and heard Draco gasp as he pushed Harry out of the way and kneeled at her face. "What happened?"
He shrugged. "Not sure. She said she didn't want you in jail, so it must be bad. She was with Seamus, but told me he didn't do this."
"Finnigan?"
He didn't take his eye from the girl and Harry sighed. "That's the only one I know."
Both men jumped as a knock sounded and Harry answered. Hermione came in and took notice of the girl, silently asking what happened. Harry relayed the same thing as he did to Draco. Hermione sat on the ottoman and put her hand on the blonde. "I can help her. I used to heal Harry and Ron while hiding out during the war."
Harry watched as he looked at her and Harry saw the worry. Draco nodded and moved to let the girl heal his friend. Harry moved and grabbed Draco's hand, pulling him closer. Harry wrapped his arms around the blonde, who let him comfort him. Harry felt the shakes of the body in his arms and Harry knew he needed to get them somewhere. He picked Draco up, bridal style, and carried him to his room. Harry sat on the bed and felt tears on his neck as Draco finally broke for his friend.
"She'll be alright. Mim's real good at healing bruises, Draco." Harry whispered, kissing his head.
Draco looked up at Harry. "Thank you for getting me. She would of hid it. She's all I got, Harry."
Harry smiled and put his hand to the man's cheek, wiping the tear trail. "I know. If it was Hermione, I'd be just like you. I told Ginny everything, we're good."
Draco smiled. "That's good. I feel like I haven't seen you all week and then it has to be like this."
Harry chuckled. "Sucks, I know. How about a date?"
Harry didn't say anything else, just watched as Draco considered what he asked. He was really hoping he said yes.
Draco smiled and put his hand to the cheek of the man holding him. "Ok."
Harry put his forehead to Draco's, both closing their eyes and just letting their body's rest from the events. Harry felt Draco drift off and moved to lay him down on the bed. He silently made his way off the bed and turned to go when a hand grabbed his.
"Stay, please."
Harry looked back to see the eyes of the man, tired and worried. He nodded and put his glass on his nightstand, crawling into bed and wrapping his arms around Draco as they drifted off to sleep.
Harry woke up, feeling warm and comfortable. He smiled as he remembered Draco falling asleep in the bed and asking him to stay. Harry knew it was because of the girl on his couch, but he felt content having Draco spooned up behind him. He moved to get up and felt the arm around his wait pull him tighter.
"Not yet, Harry."
Harry smiled and turned around and looked at the blue eyes of the blonde next to him. "Morning."
Draco smiled. "Morning."
Harry leaned forward and kissed his forehead. "Hungry? I'm sure Mim stayed and Pansy's here."
Harry stared at Draco as he felt a hand on his cheek. "Thank you, Harry. For staying with me."
"You're welcome."
"HARRY, DRACO, I HAVE FOOD."
The boys both chuckled and then moved to get up, both noticing they were still in their jeans from the day before as they walked down to get some food. They walked down, stopping when they noticed Pansy still on the couch. Draco immediately went over to her while Harry went to the kitchen.
"How is she?"
Hermione let out a breath as she gave Harry two plates. "Alright. She knew you'd call Draco over. I took care of most of the bruises. I also owled Seamus. Did you know they were together?"
He chuckled. "Not till yesterday."
Hermione nodded and Harry followed her to take a plate to Draco while she took one to Pansy, all of them in silence as they ate.
