Chapter 12
Draco froze, what was happening? One minute he was so angry and now he felt like heaven. Then it clicked Harry was kissing him and he wasn't responding. He quickly applied some pressure and then pulled away. "Potter…. Explain?"
They were both breathless, "Harry," the brunette finally said. "Call me Harry.."
No more explanation was needed, Draco laid on the couch and Harry atop of him, cuddling and both drifting off into slumber.. they woke up for dinner, Scorpius was long awake and playing on his own supervised by one of the elves Harry did not recognize. It was as if the elves knew Harry was leaving. Dinner that night was a great affair with all sorts of dishes from Poulet Roti to Calamaris and other exotic plates Harry couldn't even recognize. Scorpius' eyes were glowing. Dessert was even better, Harry's favorite Shepherd Pie, chocolate mousse, caramel flambé and other delicacies that melted in sweet tastes in the mouth.
Putting Scorpius to bed was painful for Harry, he had tears to his eyes while he cradled the little boy and rocked him to sleep. He was going to miss the little cherub and his father too. He had walked to their bedroom in silence. No words were uttered as Harry laid his head on Draco's chest and both did not make a move, just bathing in the silence. It was about 3 in the morning that Harry broke the silence, "Malfoy? You sleeping?" Silence greeted him, he sighed. "Can't sleep, Draco. Call me Draco… Harry" Harry nodded. "Wine?" Draco proposed. Harry happily agreed and they went downstairs again. Poured glasses after glasses of red wine…
Harry woke up feeling groggy, he lifted his head and smiled to the sight of the blond Adonis draped on him. The memories came crashing down as he noticed the glasses and unfinished wine bottles laying at the foot of the couch. "Shit! Malf- Draco! Draco wake up I'm late!"
Draco woke up in haste, his head spinning as he did so and the brunette spinning to his feet. An elf provided them with hangover potions which they greedily gulped down. They quickly showered and had a cup of strong black coffee. Scorpius' room was the destination afterwards, Harry carded a hand through the toddler's soft blond locks. Draco resting against the doorframe, watching him carefully. The little boy would not be waking up so soon and they went to the floo together.
"So I'll uhm.. I'll go.."
"Harry?"
"Yes?"
"Take care will you?"
Harry offered him a small smile and hugged him. He pulled away resting their foreheads together and Draco gave him a chaste kiss. It was all that he needed. He smiled to Harry and the brunette got carried away in the green flames. He stumbled out of the fireplace with a goofy grin.
"You're late.." that familiar voice addressed him. His grin disappeared.
