Chapter 2

The Walk Home

Draco made his way home after his eventful evening with his best friend. He knew that he would be back tomorrow. He wasn't going to take Blaise for all he was worth and then never speak to him again. That what his father had done to him. When he failed to kill Dumbledore Lucius deemed him worthless and threw him out on the street. He didn't get to keep much of his stuff. He had to sit there and watch Lucius burn them.

He turned the corner and bumped into something knocking him to the ground. His eyes closed tightly he didn't even see the hand that was held out to him.

"I'm sorry," said the voice of the man that had knocked him down. "Can I help you up?"

Draco opened his eyes and looked up. He found himself staring in the eyes of none other then Harry Potter. His mouth fell open as did Harry's. neither had got a good look at who they'd crash into until now. Draco's eyes went from Harry to the clothes that he himself was wearing.

"Malfoy?" Harry asked moving his hand away in a questioning manner. "Are you alright? What happened to you?"

Draco didn't know why this was effecting him the way it was. He could hear the worry and disgust in Harry's voice. Although he wanted to believe that he wasn't hearing the disgust.

"Um…" Draco stammered not yet recovered. "I'm…decent." He took Harry's and Harry pulled him up. "T-thanks."

"You're welcome." Harry said raising an eyebrow. "I haven't seen you in years. Would you like to go get drinks?"

Draco hesitated. The last student he had went to Hogwarts with that took him out for drinks had raped him. But, Harry wasn't like that…was he?

"Sure." Draco said eventually. "Where are we going." he looked over to Harry's shoulder and saw a muggle bar. "Are you going to the Crème?"

"No." Harry said half-laughing. "There's a bar further in town that I go too."

Draco raised an eyebrow. "What's so special about this bar?"

"It's umm…"

"It's a gay bar?" Draco exclaimed once they arrived there.

Draco had just came out of the closet in his fifth year of Hogwarts. He had yet to go anywhere that was gay essential. He looked at Harry. Either Harry was gay or he was just coming here for Draco's comfort.

"I know what you're thinking." Harry said smiling to himself. "Yes, I'm gay."

Draco's face turned a bright red as he followed Harry to a table he assumed he normally sat at. Sitting down across from Harry he folded his hands on the table and looked at them. He couldn't bring himself to look at Harry when he knew that he was blushing. He hadn't even heard Harry when he asked him a question.

"Draco?"

"Huh?" Draco replied his head snapping up to meet Harry's eyes.

"What would you like to drink?" Harry asked smiling. "I'm having a butter beer."

Draco looked at the menu when a realization came to him. He looked at Harry his eyes filled with regret that he had decided to come here.

"I haven't any money." he said wondering what Harry would think of him.

"It's okay." Harry said smiling at the worry etched on his face. "I'll pay for it."

"Oh." Draco looked back to the menu. He looked for the cheapest thing they had that wasn't butter beer. The only thing they had was a glass a water. "Um…I'll take a butter beer, too."

Harry went to the counter to order the drinks. Draco turned his attention away from Harry and to the many males in the bar. Some he had seen before. Some were what he called 'customers'. His eyes traveled back Harry. He hoped that they wouldn't recognize him on the spot and ruin his…what was this exactly? Could it be considered a date or maybe just hanging out? Well, whatever it was he didn't want it to be ruined.

Harry returned to the table and sat the drinks down. He sat across from Draco. Taking a sip from his bottle he started to try and make small talk.

"What happened to you?" Harry asked as he placed the bottle on the table. "you were one of the Slytherins that came up missing after graduation."

"Um…I had no interest in graduating." Draco said quietly, rubbing his finger against the mouth of the bottle. "What about you what did you do after Hogwarts?"

"I'm an Auror." he said proudly. "That's what everyone though you would be." Harry took a sip from the bottle. "It is a superior job you know? What do you do, anyway?"

"Oh…um…." Draco looked around the bar for something that would get him out of this. Just then a tall brunette came towards the table. "Hey Josh."

"Oh, Hi Draco." the brunette named Josh said smiling. "How are you."

"I'm doing good." Draco said raising his elbows so they sat on the table. He folded his hands flat placing his chin on top of them. "I'm here with…Harry."

Josh looked at Harry with envy. Harry was everything that any male or female would want. He was tanned, he's eyes were as bright as real emeralds, you could see his sexy rippling muscles underneath his shirt, his face showed warmth and peace, he seemed like a loving man. Especially if he was buying Draco something to Drink.

As Josh examined Harry with envy, Harry examined Draco. Draco wasn't quite what you would call a buff man. He was more of a pretty boy. His long blonde hair stopped at his waist, his cold silver eyes showed little warmth behind them, he wasn't exactly muscle toned but he had a decent six pack that said he worked out. His clothes were rather tight and showed off his shape.

Harry heard Draco chuckle taken him out of his observation. He looked at Draco and raised an eyebrow.

"See something you like, Potter?" Draco asked smugly.

"Maybe." Harry said turning away and drinking some of his butter beer. He looked out the corner of his eye and saw Draco blush. "Heh."

"What?" Draco said now flushing. "is something funny?"

Harry stood up from where he was sitting. He turned around and realized that Josh was still standing there. The mans present made Harry uneasy about leaving Malfoy in the bar by himself. He looked over his shoulder at Malfoy who was looking at him in confusion and rage.

"Come on." Harry said turning a little so that he could see Draco better. "I'll give you a ride home."

Draco tensed up at this. He didn't want Potter to know that he was homeless and staying with random men at night so that he didn't have to sleep out in the cold.

"I'd rather go see your house." Draco said seductively.

This was a mistake. It confused Harry and enraged Josh. He had to do something. He didn't want to go back with an angry Josh or leave Harry for that matter. He looked down at his feet trying not to make eye contact.

"Draco," Josh said stepping closer to Draco making Harry move a little closer as well. "Would you like to come with me for a moment. You left something at my house."

Draco nodded his head slowly his gaze still focused on the ground. He saw the shoes that belonged to Josh move away and soon he was following behind him. He looked up to see that Harry was staring after him with a look of concern. This made him smile. No one had ever been worried about him before. Not even as a child.

They arrived at Josh house late that night. Entering the house Draco walked a head as Josh closed the door. He knew what was coming next. Going out for drinks with Potter was a big mistake on his behalf. But, as he thought about the evening he had with Harry he's face brightened up. But this didn't last long. He felt a sharp pain in his back. He fell down to his knees.

When he looked up he saw a furious Josh staring down at him. After spending a year with him he had tried his hardest to avoid angering him. However, it took little to anger him. Draco just wanted to get this over with. He had a long and painful day ahead of him.
