Chapter 4: Sexy Slytherin

* * * * *

Harry was blushing heavily as he followed his family down the streets of Diagon Alley. They had gotten Kyle's robes first, and then they went to Flourish and Blotts to get his books for the First Years, as well as his wand. They were almost finished in Diagon Alley, as Lily suspected by this time. But Harry just couldn't stop pondering over what he had just thought. Thoughts of seeing Dumbledore when he reached Hogwarts were pushed farther back into his mind as he walked into Quality Quidditch Supplies.

"Hey, Harry, why don't you go over and see him?" Lily leaned down and whispered into his ear, causing him to look up at her confused.

"See who?"

"Him, of course," Lily said with a smile as she pointed in the direction of the window where a boy with blond hair and dark robes stood inspecting the brooms, as if considering which one he would buy.

Harry blinked.

Malfoy?

"Why would I want to see him?" Harry asked, looking at his mother's blinking and rather shocked face.

"Well, I don't see why not, you've been going out for a little over two months, have you not?"

Harry nearly fainted from shock but managed to keep standing. He-Himself and Malfoy?! Going out?! He wasn't even gay, or so he thought... But that did explain why he thought Malfoy was sexy.

He was about to say no, when he noticed that Draco was already walking over to him, having caught sight of both of Lily and Harry. He gulped, not sure what to do if...if....

His cheeks were blushing a bright red when he felt Draco's arms wrap around his waist as he kissed his cheek. What had happened in the past to make them a couple? Harry remembered bits and pieces, which was odd seeing as this was his first day in this reality, but still...he didn't remember this.

This was definitely something he was going to have to get used to.

"Shopping for Kyle, hm?" Draco whispered into his ear, making him shiver. Draco smirked.

Harry nodded as Lily had long since gone off to see James and Kyle, a knowing smile on her face. She had a feeling that if anyone could make Harry feel better, it was Draco.

Harry felt slightly uncomfortable as he was scooped up into Draco's arms, but he also felt...just a tiny bit happy. Like this felt right somehow.

Draco nibbled slightly on his ear, not really caring that they were in public or so it seemed. Harry on the other hand was blushing as he tried to fight back a moan that was threatening to escape his throat.

When Draco stopped, he turned to look at Harry. "Would you like to get some ice cream while your parents are busy shopping with Kyle? Hmm?"

Harry was instantly relaxed as Draco stopped nibbling on his ear. It was strange for him to even think this, but it did feel...good.

When he seemed to have found his voice again, Harry slowly nodded. "Sure."

Draco grinned slightly and leaned over to kiss his cheek again. "Let's go, then."

They went over to see James, Lily and Kyle near the counter and walked over, hand in hand. No one seemed to be surprised as they walked around together, so Harry assumed that their relationship had been brought into the public. But with who Draco's father was, he wondered how they were even still together.

Lily was the one who saw them first and smiled. "Hello, Draco."

"Hello, Mrs. Potter," Draco said with a nod. "Harry and I are going to get some ice cream, is that alright?"

Lily nodded with a smile. "Of course, dear. I hope you two have fun."

Harry blushed as she said this and Draco chuckled, giving Harry's hand a squeeze as they said goodbye to them all before walking out.

James frowned. He didn't quite approve of his son's relationship. It wasn't because it was with a boy, more so because it was a Malfoy he was with. James hadn't trusted them, not even after the war ended and Harry defeated Voldemort. He was still having a bad feeling, as if they were up to no good. Perhaps he was just paranoid, but he was always told to trust his instincts, and his instincts were telling him something was off.

"Oh, James, stop it," Lily said upon seeing him frown. "Harry's happy, isn't that enough?"

James sighed softly. "I guess you're right, Lily."

"Of course I am," Lily said with a small smile. "Come on now, we have to pay for Kyle's things, and then we'll be off."

* * * *

Harry and Draco sat next to each other at a table, each holding their own ice cream cone and eating it silently.

It was a comfortable silence, though, even for Harry, who was still getting used to the fact that he and Draco were...a couple. That just wasn't something one got used to in a day. Though he'd never tell Draco or anyone else for that matter he was completely different now. They'd have their Harry back soon, or so he hoped.

"Harry?"

Said boy looked up at the Slytherin sitting beside him, who seemed to be watching him carefully, almost finished his own cone. He blinked.

"Yeah?"

"Are you feeling alright?" Draco asked. "You've been acting a bit...strange." He said after a pause, that being the nicest word he could think of.

Harry nodded mutely before continuing. "I'm alright, M-Draco, don't worry." He cursed himself for the almost slip up in calling him by his last name, that would of definitely gotten some stares.

Draco frowned. Something just wasn't right, Draco could feel it.

It wasn't the same Harry.

* * * * *

A/N: Oooh, both Draco and James are suspicious of something, but does Draco really have something to hide? And we have yet to see why Harry wants to see Dumbledore, have we? Does anyone have any idea why he might want to?

Please review! :)
