Harry was a bit confused and nervous. He definitely was up for a date; he enjoyed playing with Severus in the lab. But there was something about this that just seemed so odd. He had no idea who he was meeting, just where and when. He knew he could be sensible and not go at all but he had to admit he was far too curious. Besides who ever was sending the roses had taken quite a bit of effort. And he had no idea how to contact them and say no. He knew reasonably he did not have to refuse to go since they had not actually invited, they had just told him to come. But he was definitely intrigued and there was something about the thought of making Severus jealous which made him smile. He could just see the man if he was kissing or with another man. He knew the man was definitely attracted to him and he could see it being so much more fun. He kept picturing Severus as he was getting ready for the diner.

Draco came to help him get ready for it. He knew what Harry was thinking. Sometimes they both found it funny they had not even been friends that long, Draco definitely read his mind better then Ron seemed to be able to do. He and Ron were still good friends but Ron was still not hot on the snakes and considering he still called them Death Eaters when he got upset they were not exactly fond of him either. Ron had started dating Hannah Abbot the end of last year and he spent more time with her. Unlike Hermione who was like Draco usually trying to hook him up with someone, Ron was different. He was fine with Harry like Charlie being gay but he did not have any intention of playing gay match maker. Harry often thought it a bit funny that the muggle born took him being gay easier.

Draco was trying to get Harry to sit still so he could braid his hair for him to keep it under better control. He was thinking along the same lines as Harry. He thought it might make his Uncle jealous. But he liked the idea of Harry and his Uncle together, thought it a bit hot, and thought it would encourage his Uncle to act.

Hermione appeared in the doorway with her hands on her hips. "Enough primping over there, or you are going to be late for this mysterious dinner or you claim."

Harry smirked and threw the note at her. "If you can guess who that is you're better then me. Remind me to talk next time you are preparing for a date with Viktor."

They had been surprised that summer when Viktor had shown up at the Burrow. He had signed with a team here in the UK and knew Hermione would be at the Burrow. It seemed he had pretty good timing. Hermione and Ron had broken up t the end of the last school year, just unable to make it work. They were still friends but sometimes Harry wondered if it was he who kept them together. Hermione and Viktor had kept in contact since fourth year but had not seen each other. He had taken her on a few dates in the summer and Harry knew with time they were going to get more serious.

The two of them walked him off to the gates. By the time Harry had got to the Three Broomsticks he was as nervous as hell. He had no idea who he was meeting. He knew this could have been some kind of joke.

Madam Rosemerta came over to him as he entered and handed him an envelope and white rose. "I was told to give you these when you came in."

Harry took the envelope from her and smelled the rose. "Is he here?"

She just walked away so he opened the envelope. He found nothing in it except a key which he realized belonged to one of the hotel rooms up above the tavern. There were some other businesses which had opened in town as the population had grown ten fold since the war, and the Three Broomsticks had opened a few rooms for customers or families from the school to stay. Harry was not sure what he was doing and for a moment he almost turned around to leave but he headed up the stairs and unlocking the door he found a room filled with roses and candles and dinner but before he could see anyone he felt a blindfold over his eyes.

A warm voice responded when he started to struggle. "I want you to have dinner with me with an open mind before you know who I am. Nothing else."

Harry found himself led over to the table. "I am all up for interesting dates but you know this will make eating slightly hard."

The other man chuckled and it seemed like that had been part of his plan. Harry found himself being fed dinner. Though he found it a bit odd he could not deny that the man had definite good taste in fine wine and even lobster. He had drunk a few glasses of wine and was starting to feel it when he was drawn from the chair and led to the bed where he was lowered against the mattress where a hungry set of lips went to his. They almost pulled back but Harry put his hands up and entwined in long silky hair and he delighted when he felt the other man's tongue slide in his mouth but he drew away.

The other man chuckled at his pout and fed him a chocolate dipped strawberry instead. "I don't take advantage of drunken little boys, at least not on the first date."

Harry smiled when he heard that. "First date hmmm.....does that mean there will be a second date my mystery man?"

The man said it was up to him and after one more strawberry he helped remove the blindfold. Harry stared in shock as Lucius Malfoy was there feeding him another strawberry. Lucius Malfoy, Draco's dad, was his secret admirer? Now this was definitely going to be interesting to say the least. He wondered what Draco would say. He was good about his Uncle but his dad would likely be a different story. He could only imagine Severus' face if he knew Harry was seeing Lucius as well.

Lucius' eyes sparkled as he fed Harry another, Harry feeling a bit odd lying in bed with him. "So now you know my secret, will you have a second date?"
