Chapter 20

Draco opened his eyes expecting to find Harry but his heart sank when he saw that he was alone. He sighed. Was what happened just a dream? It couldn't be since he wouldn't have gone to the hospital wing at all. Draco shook his head and turned to stand when Madam Pomfrey walked in.

"How are you doing, Mr. Malfoy?" she asked calmly.

"I'm fine." Draco responded after quickly putting up his indifferent mask to hide his dismay due to Harry's absence.

"You lost quite an amount of blood, if you need any help there are…" she started but Draco cut her off immediately

"No, its alright. I don't need any healers." Draco quickly stood and the feeling of dizziness hit him hard but he refused to show any sign of being unwell and strode out, towards his common room. His thoughts were filled with Harry, how he wanted to talk to the other boy and how Harry had hugged him last night…Harry still cared.

"Draco!" squealed Pansy which broke Draco's reverie. "Are you alright? Oh, what did you do? Why would you do that, anyway?"

"One question at a time, Pansy." Draco said annoyed.

"Why were you smiling?" Blaise suddenly asked. Draco stared at Blaise dumbly. He was not smiling…was he?

"Yes, Draco, why were you smiling?" Pansy asked in her high pitched voice.

"Nothing." Draco said shrugging then began walking towards the dungeons. He knew that his friends would understand that he didn't want to talk about it.

Draco opened the door to his room and he was surprised to be greeted with a tight hug. He knew that it could only be Harry so he looked around and found that the room was empty, except for the two of them. He pulled himself a bit just so that he could look at Harry's emerald eyes.

"What is it?" Draco asked

"Umm..well I just…" Harry staggered. Draco smiled and took Harry's wrist and dragged the other boy to his four poster. Draco sat on his bed and leaned against the wall and watched as Harry closed the curtains and sat beside him.

"How're you?" Harry asked awkwardly.

"I'm fine…" Draco replied. They were filled with awkward silence and Draco figured that the years they spent not talking brought this kind of atmosphere. Draco sighed. He had missed Harry so much and he was so damned in love with the boy. Draco turned his head to look at Harry and was surprised to find the other boy staring at him.

"Umm…" Draco started but stoppped when Harry put a hand on his left cheek. Harry pulled his face closer and put their foreheads together.

"Draco…" Harry whispered.

"W-what is it?"

"Don't hate me." Harry said softly then pressed his lips against Draco's. Draco's eyes widened in shocked. Harry was kissing him! Harry! Draco closed his eyes. It felt wonderful. Harry licked Draco's lips which made Draco open his mouth. Harry took the opportunity and dove inside, tasting every part of Draco that he could reach. Draco's moan escaped him before he could form coherent thoughts. This only seemed to encourage Harry even more. Draco moved his tongue along with Harry's and their tongues seemed to dance with each other. Draco felt Harry pushing him down and he let him. Draco cursed the time when they had to stop kissing because they needed air. Draco stared at Harry. What was happening? Draco's heart began thumping harder when Harry smiled at him.

"Damn it, why do you make me feel this way?" Harry asked him in a playful tone.

So, again, Happy Christmas to you all and I hope you liked it! Please review!
