Chapter 21

Harry's heart was pounding against his chest. He was overwhelmed with the feeling of elation. He had just kissed Draco Malfoy! After all the years of thinking that the blonde hated him, he just felt utterly wonderful. Harry couldn't help but smile as his nose touched the other boy's nose.

"Draco?" Harry whispered, afraid of breaking the moment they just shared.\

"Hm?" Draco replied without opening his mouth.

"Do you think this could work?"

"What could work?" Draco asked confused.

"Oh, nothing. Um, I have to go." Harry said in a rush. He couldn't believe he thought Draco liked him too. He hurriedly stood up and ran away even with the vague sound of Draco calling his name. He just couldn't bear to hear the horror in Draco's voice when the other boy figured out that Harry was thinking that Draco liked him.

Harry was panting but he kept running and he didn't care how people were staring at him. He just needed to be alone right now. He slowed down once he reached the seventh floor and found an empty hallway so he sat down, leaning against the wall. He just couldn't understand. He really thought Draco liked him, so, why did Draco look so confused? Was Draco just making out with him because it was fun? No, it can't be since Draco isn't that kind of person, he knew that much. Harry groaned. He hated not knowing what to do. He hated the feeling of being helpless, it made him remember his days with his aunt and uncle and oh how much he didn't want to relive that part of his past. Harry sighed. He just needed a place where he couldn't be disturbed and where he could sort things out quietly. He buried his face in his hands when he fell backwards as a door behind him opened. Harry's eyes were wide in shock, he could have sworn there wasn't a door behind him when he sat down. He shook his head. The room was perfect! It had a couch with a table and he could just stay here for a while and think. Harry entered the room and closed the door behind him and to his horror it disappeared. How was he supposed to get out, now?! Harry groaned. Nothing was going his way today. First, Draco's look of horror just a few minutes ago. Second, his problem of being stuck in this room. Third, his stomach grumbling. He hadn't eaten anything yet because he made sure to wait for Draco in the blonde's room. To Harry's surprise, a tray of food appeared on the table and it had all of Harry's favorite food. Harry eyed the large slice of treacle tart which made him drool. He stood quickly and took the slice and marveled at the taste. He moaned in pleasure. He just loved sweet things. Once Harry was done eating the tart he took the sandwich and chips from the tray and began munching as he sat down on the couch. He needed to sort things out in his head before things got out of hand.

Harry yawned. He didn't know what time it was and he didn't want to know. Harry stretched his arms in satisfaction. His stay in the room wasn't fruitless. He knew exactly what he was going to do and he just needed to put it in action. Harry smiled to himself. He had one mission: get his Draco back. At that moment the door appeared once again and Harry ran towards it before it disappeared again and exited the room.

Harry was walking towards the dungeons when he collided with someone. Harry staggered back and mumbled an apology. He was about to leave when he saw that it was Hermione.

"Harry! Neville and I have been looking for you, everywhere! We had no idea where you've gone and no one else knew either. Where were you?" Hermione exclaimed.

"Oh, sorry, I was just, y'know thinking. I found this room which provided me with things I need." Harry replied, conveniently leaving the part of Draco Malfoy being his problem.

"I've read about that room! It's the Room of Requirement but I can't believe you found it! You ought to show it to us someday!"

"Sure, sure! Right now, I'm just tired. I'm sorry for making you worry but I need to sleep."

"Its okay, Harry. At least you're fine." Hermione said smiling as she waved him goodbye and walked towards the Ravenclaw dormitories.

Harry muttered the password and entered the Slytherin common room. He found Draco sitting by the fire place with Parkinson and Zabini. He figured he could set his plan in motion tomorrow as Draco was surrounded by certain people which Harry did not fancy admitting his sexual orientation to. Harry saw Draco look up and silver and green crashed together. Draco's intense stare caught Harry off guard and Harry had to look away. He walked towards their room and closed the door behind him. He fell on his bed and closed his curtains. Just about when Harry was almost drifting into sleep he heard someone open the door. Harry kept his eyes closed but when he heard someone opening his curtains he sat up in alarm. He found a confused looking Draco staring at him as though he had just stolen Draco's favorite robe or something. Harry opened his mouth to speak but no sound came out of his mouth when he saw Draco sit on his bed and close the curtains around them. Draco cast a silencing charm and locking charm on the curtains and stared at Harry. Harry looked away, a bit embarrassed. He knew he ought to stick to his plan but he wasn't ready yet. He felt Draco shuffle closer to him until his head was on Harry's chest. Harry looked down on the blonde mop of hair on his chest and inhaled Draco's sweet scent. He could never get enough of Draco's smell. It was intoxicating. Draco looked up and surprised Harry with a passionate kiss. Harry's mouth moved with Draco's without Harry thinking of anything. His mind went blank as he felt Draco against him. That was when Harry realized he didn't need to get Draco back, he was already his. Now, all he needed was to properly court the other boy. Harry felt abandoned when Draco broke the kiss but what the other boy said gave Harry butterflies and he just knew, butterflies don't lie.

"I love you." Draco whispered.

So, what do you guys think? Please leave a review! I really want to improve this fic!

Okay yes I stole that line before Draco's dialogue from Kaci Brown's song but it just fit so well, I can't help it.
