Chapter nine

Over the next week, Harry had gone to see Draco twice and spent both days with him. Ron kept asking where Harry went, but all he said was he met someone and they were getting to know each other. He never said he or she, just someone. It took a lot of talking with Hermione to work out some things they could say to Ron or anyone else that asked. First they told Ron, in private Harry met someone, but they asked him not to say anything because Ginny might just hex him after all. He wanted to tell Ron the truth and knew it would have made everything easier especially when Ron asked why Harry didn't just start seeing Ginny again.

The following couple of weeks, Harry and Draco spent more time together. They sometimes went out, but Draco held back from showing his feelings until Harry was comfortable. They never went anywhere near magical towns, otherwise everyone would know about them before they were ready to tell their friends. Harry took Draco to some muggle areas where they would spend time together and sometimes they would buy things, or eat out, they just liked being with each other. Harry even took Draco into a cinema to show him what movies were like.

Two months after Harry had started dating Draco, he got up early and headed straight for his place. He had told the Weasley's he would be gone all night that he and his friend had a long day planned. Harry smiled when he stepped out of the fireplace, Draco was standing there smiling, waiting for him. They instantly melted into each other's arms and started kissing.

'So you said you had some plans, what are we doing today?' Draco asked as he took Harry's hand and they sat down.

'Well, we're not going anywhere, I want to stay right here.'

'Alright, well there's a lot to do here. So what exactly do you want to do?'

Harry kept staring into Draco's eyes, he gets so lost in those silver grey pools that he sometimes felt like he was being pulled in. He never spoke or moved, just gazed into his eyes.

Draco smiled, 'Harry, are you going to tell me what you want to do?'

'Oh yeah, you're eyes are so bloody hypnotising,' Harry shook his head but heard Draco laugh and he loved to hear Draco laugh. 'First thing is I'm going to tell my friends I'm gay and we're dating.'

'Are you sure you're ready for that babe?'

'Yes because I realised I love you and I want to see if we can make a life together, so it's time.'

Draco couldn't stop the huge grin that came to his face, then he had Harry pinned under him as they were lying on the couch snogging passionately.

When their lips parted Harry chuckled, 'I love you Dray and I want everyone to know it.'

'I love you too Harry, so when are you going to tell them?'

'Tomorrow because I want to spend the night with you and I don't just mean sleep here. I think it's time to make love.'

'Oh about bloody time, you know how hard it's been for me trying to keep myself from just taking you especially with what you do to me.'

'I know Dray and I have realised how hard it's been on you. You've given me the time I needed to work everything out. So since you know what you're doing, you'll have to teach me.'

'Harry, I've never had sex before either.'

'What?' Harry sat them both up, 'But that first day, you just stripped off like you were so used to it.'

'I don't mind showing myself Harry, I've grown up with servants around me. I used to have this woman that would massage me every day. I had another servant who laid my clothes out, he followed me to the bathroom to take the clothes I dropped on the floor. All that became second nature to me. So you see, we're both new at this so we'll be learning together. I admit I have done a lot of reading on gay sex so I knew what to expect. How uncomfortable it's going to be at first, positions for men, things like that. There were also diagrams that showed me things.'

'Do you still have those books?'

Draco smiled, 'Yes, do you want to look through them first?'

'Well yeah, it might at least give me an idea where to start. I know I want to touch you everywhere and do everything, but it's all still new to me.'

'Come on then,' Draco took Harry's hand and led him to the library. He pulled down three books and handed them to Harry, then he sat at the large grand piano and started to play softly while Harry read. Draco would see Harry blush a bit making him chuckle, because he remembered doing the exact same thing when he read those books. After an hour Draco saw Harry close the last book and set them aside, so Draco got up and sat next to him, 'Work it all out?'

'Um, yeah, one good thing though, at least we won't be embarrassed about being naked, we're used to that with the amount of times we've gone skinny dipping. But I don't want to rush into this, let's spend the day together, because the more I kiss you the harder it's getting to resist, so let's do a lot of that and let it build.'

'Sounds interesting and probably going to be impossible, but we'll give it a go. Now first, I want to ask you something. Since you are going to tell your friends about us, after you do, I though we could have them all here. Get them to see us together, have a swim, some lunch, talk, let them ask me things because they are going to be sceptical and worried that I'm doing all this to get you to trust me.'

'That's a good idea Dray, but you know it'll be awkward especially with Ron.'

'I know, but since he is your best friend, I want him to know me for real. We will be seeing each other a lot, so we will have to at least be civil. But I am hoping once he realises that was never me before, that we might actually get on.'

'I'm hoping you do as well. What about your friends Dray, am I going to meet them?'

'There's a couple that I know hated him and what he was doing. So I'll get them here as well. One you sort of know, Blaise, he was a good friend and never wanted that life.'

'Well I know he never caused any problems for me, well for any of us. Who else are you talking about?'

'Hamlin Avery, I'm not even sure you would have seen him. He spent a lot of time in the library. He told me once he wanted to prove that Slytherin's could be smart, not just cunning. He is the son of a death eater though, so like me, he had to act the part.'

'I know his father, well know is not the right word, I've seen him and had a couple of fights with him. One in the ministry that night, one of course at Hogwarts, but I don't know Hamlin. I've come to trust you Dra, so I'd like to see what your friends are really like.'

'Then I'll talk to them, let them know who I'm dating and go from there when you meet them.'

'Great, now though, about these books and, well everything. It does say to use a lubricant, do you have any of that?'

Draco chuckled seeing Harry blush again, 'Yes, I got some for when you were ready and do you know I like seeing you blush, not something I'm used to seeing on your face.'

'Don't tease Dray, this is taking me a lot to get used to. That first night after I left here, it's all I thought about, well imagined the sex. I almost lost control in my bed, then the following day I couldn't go down, no matter what I did. Everything I tried, I just imagine what we would be doing, so that kept me hard. I made sure to wear a longer jacket so no one would notice. Bloody Hermione did though, she kept looking at me and laughing, she even offered to make me a potion that would help.'

'At least if she made it, you wouldn't get poisoned, not like if you made it babe,' Draco laughed at Harry's indignant look, 'Don't get upset babe, you are bloody good at defence, but not that good at potions. I know because I'm brilliant at potions, then I would be with who my godfather was.'

'Who was your godfather?'

Draco went wide-eye, 'Surely you know Harry.'

'No, I have no idea. The only thing I know about your family is that your mother is sister to my godson's grandmother and she looks like Bellatrix. I don't really know much else about any of them. So tell me, who is your godfather?'

'Was my godfather Harry, it was Severus. Why do you think he let me get away with so much? Naturally I couldn't call him by his name at Hogwarts, but I did at home.'

'Blimey Dray, no, I never realised, I just thought since he hated me and you hated me, that you sort of teamed up. Then again, he showed me he didn't really hate me, I just looked like my father.'

'What do you mean he never hated you and why does your father have anything to do with this?'

'A long story, so I'll shorten it for now. Snape was in love with my mother, from the time they were kids. They had a falling out at the end of their fifth year at Hogwarts. He had been working with Dumbledore for years so he could protect me, because I happen to have my mother's eyes. But he saw the man who stole the woman he loved, saw my dad in me because everyone has told me how much I look like my father, but I have my mother's eyes. He gave me some memories Dray, just before he died. I watched that happened, I couldn't stop it. Then when Voldemort left, I knelt beside him. He gave me those memories and I just sat there with him as he passed on. Even then I had no idea why or what he'd been doing, but the look he gave me right before he died, showed me he didn't hate me,' Harry sighed as he remembered Severus Snape. Draco stared at Harry and realised he knew things about his godfather he never heard before. So they both realised they still had a lot more to know about each other.
