Confessing Lips by HPFangirl71
Harry hadn't had a chance to see Draco after the bonfire. He had run into Pansy but she informed him Draco had left. Her voice had been accusatory in nature when he had talked to her. The next morning, Draco hadn't been in the Great Hall at breakfast time and it worried Harry. Ron had been frosty with him since their encounter but they had hid the fact from Hermione. After eating some toast and pumpkin juice, Harry said goodbye to his friends who were headed to Hagrid's to carve jack o lanterns. Harry himself headed up to the astronomy tower for some much needed alone time.
When Harry approached the top level of the tower, he realized he wouldn't be able to be alone after all. There were voices, and they seemed argumentative. When he entered the room, he realized that the voices belonged to none other than Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson themselves. The two looked up as he entered the room. Pansy gave Harry a hard-edged look before she spoke to Draco again.
"I'm heading back to the commons Draco; you know how I feel about this…"
When she left, Draco turned away to look out the window. Harry knew he probably deserved the cold shoulder but it still hurt him.
"We can't just ignore this Draco, we need to talk." Harry said, breaking the heavy silence.
"What's there to talk about?" Draco replied. "You made your choice when I left alone."
"I didn't have a choice. I had to try to talk to Ron, he's my best mate." Harry said defensively.
"Exactly… He's your best mate and what am I to you? Just somebody you can use to get your jollies off with." Draco spat out at him, his voice dripping with anger and hurt.
"That's not fair Malfoy and you know it."
"Oh really Potter… isn't it? I told Pansy about what happened last night but I don't think you'll be quite so candid with your friends now will you?" Draco was being blunt as he spoke.
"I'm sorry Draco..." Harry whispered as he fought back tears that threatened to fall from his eyes.
"No need to be… I'm used to this. Ever since the war, I have had to struggle because of the choices my parents made. I know I'm not wanted here, that's why I'm thinking of leaving."
Draco gave him a look that practically begged him to try to stop him.
"Draco please… I don't want you to leave." Harry said, his eyes filling with tears.
"Give me one good reason why I should stay then." Draco responded.
Harry swept the man up into his embrace. He pressed his lips firmly up against Draco's and willed him to give in. Draco tried hard to resist at first but then gave in, opening his lips to Harry. The kiss was deep and emotional, both of them so afraid of getting hurt. Draco finally pushed Harry away but his grey eyes were shimmering with tears.
"How are we going to make this work Harry? How… when so many people are against us?" Draco implored.
"I'm not sure. Ron was adamant that I not see you anymore. I don't want to have to choose between you and them but I feel like it's not up to me." Harry told him truthfully.
"Then we keep it a secret." Draco whispered into his ear as he pressed his groin firmly into Harry's thigh.
Harry could feel Draco's growing lust but he was still unsure.
"I want to Draco, but I don't want to be using you." Harry told the handsome blonde.
"Are you Harry…? I mean are you just using me or do you actually feel something towards me?"
Harry pressed a kiss against Draco's forehead before answering him.
"Draco Malfoy, I think I may be falling in love with you."
With those words tentatively displayed, the damn between them broke. They were again within each other's arms, snogging one another with uninhibited passion.
