Falling in love with him was easy.
Even after all the fights, all the rivalry, all the history between them, when Draco saw him standing in front of Malfoy Manor, he fell in love with him immediately.
For the first time he could remember, he looked sure and confident of himself. Before, he had always seemed to be waiting for abuse to be heaped onto him. And as much as Draco found confidence a turn on, he found a victim complex just as repellant. So really, if one thought about it, there was no surprise that he had seen him and his friends as the perfect targets to torture.
But at that moment, seeing Harry Potter standing on his front porch, Draco's old hawthorn wand in his hand, he looked like an avenging angel. And Draco immediately felt his heart start to tumble in freefall.
But even crazy in love, Draco was still a Malfoy.
So he simply quirked an eyebrow at the beautiful man standing in front of him and said, "Hello Potter. See you've finally come to return my wand."
Harry looked slightly put off at the ungrateful reception.
"At least I decided to return the wand," he retorted. "Most people in my position wouldn't have bothered."
"Touchy, aren't you? I wasn't making fun of you, you know, merely stating a fact. Besides, we both know that you aren't like most people. That Gryffindor honour wouldn't let you keep the wand, even if you did win it in battle and use it defeat the Dark Lord."
Harry's eyes widened. "Was that a complement, Malfoy?" he asked, surprise evident in his voice.
Draco cheered inwardly. At least he still retained his ability to surprise Potter, no matter how attractive Draco found him.
"Don't look so surprised, Potter," he said, controlling his emotions. "I do have manners, you know. Besides, I don't think it would be a good idea to insult you when you've so graciously come here to return my wand."
Draco could practically hear Potter wondering what he had done with the real Draco Malfoy.
Taking advantage of the fact that Potter was off his game, Draco put on his best gracious host mask. "Since you've already gone through so much trouble, why don't you come in for a drink?"
Looking startled at the invitation, Harry shook his head. "No, I really to getting back," he said.
"What' the hurry? Weaslette waiting for you?" Draco was surprised at the strong jealousy that rose up at the thought. It seemed that in just the few moments since he had seen Po- Harry standing outside the Manor, his brain had already decided that Harry was his.
At Draco's question, Harry let out a heavy sigh. "No, actually," he said. "Ginny and I've been broken up for nearly a week now. I'm surprised you haven't heard about it already."
"What happened? Did she leave you for someone else?" he asked in faux concerned voice, pushing down the urge to celebrate.
"No, it wasn't like that at all. It was me who broke up with her anyways. Turns out I'm not attracted to wo– wait, why am I even tell you any of this?"
"Because you need someone to talk to, and I'm guessing you don't want your friends to feel like they have to pick a side. See, Potter? I was right. You do need a drink after all. Now come on in before I freeze out here. You might enjoy the cold, I don't."
As Harry followed him in, Draco noted the slight blush that had appeared on his cheeks when he had turned to walk inside. He smirked. This was going to be so easy.
