It's My Life

About two weeks had passed since the situation in the headmaster's office where Severus was accused of sleeping with Harry, but of course, Harry shut that right down with witnesses. Harry wouldn't let anything happen to Severus; the man did take him in and has been amazing since. And it couldn't be forgotten that Severus was always in the snake pit with Voldemort, spying for the Order to protect Harry. Severus didn't really do it for anyone else, though the fate of the world rested on what information Severus could gather during meetings and sadly, he was not leader of the Order of the Phoenix.

Though, he didn't really want to be either. Severus was more part of Dumbledore's Army, or Defense Army. A group of students under Harry's teachings, that Severus only supervised. Umbridge still hadn't discovered it, which was a good thing. There would be problems if she did, but Severus had full confidence in Harry's abilities to handle it. Nothing made him prouder than on Valentine's Day when Harry spoke to Dolores and Albus the way he did; Harry was truly starting to pick up on the stoic face and calm tone, the stance and arms being folded over one another. Harry was picking up Severus's mannerisms and Severus found he didn't mind that Harry was essentially taking after him.

It did make Severus think back to that night he spoke to the Malfoy's, how Harry was maybe starting to see Severus as a male role model, maybe even an uncle. Father was a stretch, but it was possible. Severus was coming around to it, but he didn't want to just step in and act something Harry may not see him as, so until he knew for sure from Harry; Severus was only his legal guardian. Easter was about a month away and the students would be on another two-week break for that.

Severus was worried about Harry because he'd gotten quiet again and shown enough disengaging from things for Severus to be concerned that the depression was acting up. He'd been debating pulling Harry aside to discuss it, but probably tomorrow; he knew Harry was with friends tonight and maybe that would cheer the boy up. Inside the Slytherin common room, Harry was sitting around with his friends and reading a book.

"Harry, we're bored!" Pansy complained.

"And that's my problem?" Harry joked.

"What did you and your Gryffindor pals used to do for fun on Friday nights?" Blaise wondered.

"Sit around and talk, maybe play some games." Harry shrugged.

"Can you teach us some?" Vincent asked.

"Depends on what you'd be into. Ron and I used to play Wizard's Chess. We'd have tournaments just for the excitement. Sometimes we played cards or spin the bottom, maybe seven minutes in heaven." Harry stated. "Truth or dare a time or two."

"What are those last three?" Draco questioned.

"Well, spin the bottle is that those participating would sit in a circle on the floor and put a bottle in the middle of it. One person spins and whoever it lands on ends up kissed or hugged by the person who had spun it. Then the person that it landed on would spin and so on." Harry paused. "Truth or dare is exactly what it says. Same idea, sitting around and calling on someone with the question of Truth or Dare."

"If they pick truth, then they have to give the truth. If dare, they have to follow through on the dare given. Seven minutes in heaven is also similar. Names go in a hat or jar and two are picked, those two people go in a closet for seven minutes and anything goes." Harry explained. "Some talk, some make out, some get intimate. Depends on the pair, honestly."

"Any other games?" Gregory asked.

"There's Never Have I, which is a drinking game. Everyone has a drink, usually alcoholic, and it goes around with each person saying one thing they've never done. Those who haven't done that don't drink, but those who have will. I think the winner of that is based on whoever has the least amount of things done." Harry informed. "Then there's Karaoke, which is just singing your favorite songs and the person with the most crowd reaction wins. Or that's how we did that, at least."

"Well, Karaoke is out because you'd probably win that one," Theodore chuckled. "Never Have I seems like fun, but we don't have any drinks. We could save that for Easter holiday and get together."

"I agree with that idea," Blaise nodded. "The other three sound alright to try."

"Whatever you wanna do," Harry finally put his book aside.

"Let's give Truth or Dare a shot?" Pansy suggested. "Anyone else in?"

A couple who were hanging around and had heard things joined the group. There was Natalie Furia, who was Blaise's maternal cousin, then Tracey Davis, Daphne Greengrass, and Millicent who decided they wanted to play the games too.

. . .

The group had played through one round of Spin The Bottle, enough that everyone either got a kiss or a hug from someone else. They moved onto Truth Or Dare after that. The hours ticked away and now the lot of them were playing Seven Minutes In Heaven.

"Alright…Next up is…" Pansy dipped her hand into the bowl, pulling two names out. "Harry and Draco."

"Come on, Malfoy…Let's go see what we can do with seven minutes," Harry teased. Draco very clearly blushed at what was said.

"Okay, timer set." Blaise chuckled as Pansy eagerly shoved them into the small closet.

The closet was rather cramped and the boys were fumbling in the dark.

"Hey watch where you're grabbing!" Harry exclaimed. "That's not my arm!"

"Oh," Draco muttered as Harry pulled out his wand and cast a soft Lumos. "So…" Draco muttered.

"So…" Harry repeated.

"Okay this is rather awkward," The blond said as he tried to shuffle a bit back. He was nearly pressed up to Harry.

"Do you…" Harry began but stopped.

"What?" Draco questioned.

"Okay, so you will probably hex my balls off for this but here goes," Harry took a breath and then pressed his lips to Draco's.

"Hmmfff!" Draco exclaimed as his eyes widened at Harry's bold move. The kiss shoved Draco towards one of the closet walls with Harry crowding against him now. 'And Holy Merlin's balls, was that tongue?!' Draco thought when he felt something slip into his mouth and brush against his own.

When Harry broke the kiss he looked somewhat embarrassed and apologetic. He started to say something but Draco crashed their mouths together again. Why the hell not, it was probably expected of them. The tension between them had been thick for weeks since that first, accidental kiss. Draco didn't care, they could talk later. Right now, he just wanted to enjoy snogging the hell out of Potter.

"We should…" Harry said between kisses "Probably talk…" More kisses… "About-," He tried to finish, but Draco put a finger to his lips to shush him.

"Hush, Potter. Later…We're short on time for this." Draco said as he grabbed Harry by his sweater. "Right now, I'm going to finish what you started," He said before the snog session continued.

At the end of seven minutes, Pansy opened up the closet door and was initially not looking at the boys. Her head hadn't been turned to Blaise and Gregory as if to answer a question from them. When she saw Harry and Draco's disheveled states however she muttered a "Hot damn,"

"Indeed, Miss. Parkinson," Their Head of House's distinctive drawl caused the whole group to look up to see the man leaning against the stone archway. Harry had Draco against the wall, arms pinned above his head, and Harry was obviously pressed against him as they were very into what they were doing, having not even noticed the door had been opened and they had an audience of curious students, their friends, and Severus himself.

"P-Professor, how long have you been here?!" Vincent asked with wide eyes.

"Long enough to see you crowd around that closet," The man muttered before looking towards Draco and Harry. The potions master cleared his throat as reality hit Harry and Draco that they were definitely not alone anymore. The two flew apart, trying to right themselves and not look like a pair of snogging dementors. It was quite the spectacle too; Draco's perfectly combed hair was out of place no thanks to Harry's fingers raking through it during the heated making out.

Both of their robes were undone in the front, ties loosened and white shirts slightly unbuttoned. Their faces were positively flushed and they breathed heavy while Harry's glasses were absolutely crooked. Snape just sighed. "Off to bed with you lot. It's past curfew," Snape then declared and the teens never cleared a room faster. As Harry and Draco passed by their professor Harry was sure he heard Snape remark quietly, "Minerva and Pomona owe me five Galleons,"

Harry let out a sigh once the pair were back in the dorm. Draco, however, was not done yet and quickly grabbed Harry and pushed him against the dorm wall before pouncing the green-eyed boy's lips again. Harry was surprised by the action and miserably failed to stop his friend.

"Again?!" Harry exclaimed, though, he did nothing to actually dissuade Draco from continuing. "W-We're out in the open," He mentioned between a break in the kissing.

"I'm horny and it's your fault," Draco mumbled. "Now, why don't you get your pert behind on the bed so we can have a bit of fun."

"I'd love nothing more, but hold your horses…" Harry stared at the male. "Muggle phrasing to be patient for a moment," He added when he saw Draco arch a brow at the words he chose to use. "Severus sent everyone to bed, it won't be long until the others come in. It would be wrong of us to do anything out in the open like this," He reminded and Draco gave a petulant pouty lip. "I didn't say no, Dray…Just not in the open. Let's get to yours or my bed, close the curtains and use a silencing spell."

"Good idea!" Draco agreed as he practically dragged Harry over and onto his bed. Harry flicked his wand to close his curtains on his bed, then the ones around Draco's bed while Draco took care of the silencing charm to ensure they wouldn't be heard, or interrupted. Once inside, they were sitting upright and Harry was stroking Draco's cheek.

"Your father won't hear of this will he," Harry teased.

Draco just rolled his eyes, "Merlin, I hope not,"

"You know it's funny," Harry said as he looked into the blonde's silvery eyes and smiled.

"Hmmm?" Draco mumbled as he was busy trying to push Harry's outer cloak off and feel his shoulders, chest, and sides.

"For weeks I assumed you weren't interested and here you are practically yanking my pants off," Harry remarked.

"What made you assume I wasn't?" Draco raised a brow in question. "Was it the kiss? I…Well, it might have been an accident but…" Now Draco blushed more.

"I get it, Draco." Harry nodded as he leaned in and gave the boy a gentle kiss on the lips before pulling back. "I think we assumed the same thing about the other, rather than just talking about it."

"Merlin, we've been idiots haven't we?" Draco groaned. "Dancing around each other for weeks when we could've have been doing this,"

"You're really that adamant about seeing me without clothes, huh?" Harry questioned.

"Potter, I am this close to using a cutting hex on your damn clothes. So help me get you naked already!" Draco demanded.

"My my, snippy aren't we?" Harry laughed though he did divest himself quickly of his sweater vest and tie. His cloak was already in a heap at the foot of the bed. "Guess we're jumping right in?" He chuckled as Draco barely gave a nod while tugging at his own vest and tie. "Now kiss m-," He didn't even have to finish the sentence before Draco leaned in once more and they went back to snogging one another.

"Wait, wait…" Draco suddenly stopped, putting his hands on Harry's chest and looking at him. "It's not right for us to do this without setting where we are, Harry," He paused. "What…Does this make us? Friends with benefits?"

"It could, if we stay friends," Harry shrugged. "Or it could be a full on relationship? Dating, being boyfriends?" He suggested. "It's clear we're interested, but the real question is do we want more than what we have now? I'll be upfront, Draco…I like you. More than the like I have for you as one of my best friends. Not that this would change our friendship, I would hope. It's my only hesitation; I don't want to lose you as a friend if things don't work out."

"You won't lose me, Harry. I promise…If things didn't work out, maybe we'd need a little time to heal but our friendship, I think, would cushion the fall and be there as the support to get us back there. I think that's honestly why a lot of relationships that start with friendships end up lasting. You're not just dating, you're friends too. What's dating but friendship with some romantic aspects." Draco offered.

"I figured the same, but there was still the matter of things having to be mutual and after the accidental kiss; you got quiet and distant." Harry informed.

"I know, I was foolish to do that. I guess I was just worried that you might not feel the same since it was an accident." Draco admitted. "The kiss sort of cemented the feeling of me already wondering if I felt more for you. It's kind'a been there since New Year's party."

"I can agree with that being the same for me. I didn't know what it was, like…I knew I had attraction to males when I was probably around thirteen or so, but didn't really like anyone in that way until you. It might have even started that day during Patronus lessons." Harry stated lightly.

"Can I tell you something about that day…?" Draco asked.

"What?" Harry wondered.

"The happy memory I chose was the day we called a truce and became friends. That day when mom, dad, and Severus came back to Potter Manor, and we all had dinner together. My happy image that day, and hoping that it could always be that peaceful. A world without the dark lord. But more on that day when you got me to relax to cast the charm; it was when we were touching. There was some spark that went through me and I didn't know what to make of it, but we just got closer and closer." Draco explained.

"I get it, Dray. Trust me, I do." Harry told him. "Do you…Want more with me?" He questioned.

"I do," Draco replied softly, his fingers intertwining with Harry's.

"Good, cause I want more with you," Harry smiled before the two leaned in and kissed again. "Alright, now we can go back to getting rid of the clothes and fix those pesky but sometimes enjoyable teenage hormones." He murmured against his now, new boyfriend's, lips.

Draco blushed and nodded before the kiss got deeper and Harry moved his hands to work the buttons on Draco's white shirt, which Draco did the same to Harry's. The articles of clothing were quickly shred off and tossed carelessly away from them and Harry moved Draco back to a laying down position, crawling over him. "Do you have a preference for how it's done?" Harry questioned.

"No…" Draco whispered. "Just know it's my first time…"

"Mine too," Harry informed before going "You sure you want this?"

"I'm sure," Draco responded to him.

Harry captured Draco's lips again, easily picking up where they'd left off in the closet. As the two snogged relentlessly, Harry worked Draco's belt buckle apart, then focused his fingers to undo the button and pull down the zipper. Draco instinctively raised his hips off the bed for Harry to shimmy the clothing off, along with Draco's boxers. Harry was bent over, using his knees and arms to stay somewhat above Draco's body.

Draco tried to reach under to get Harry's bottoms off and Harry inched close enough to let Draco handle the buckle, button, and zipper before Harry backed up effectively kicking the items off the rest of his body. With the two completely stripped of clothing, Harry laid himself on Draco's body as they continued making out and felt each other's bodies as far as hands would reach from their current position. Harry eventually shifted his kisses down Draco's body until his face was level with Draco's erect cock. Harry gently took the appendage in his mouth and began to lick around and suck while minding his teeth. Draco gasped out and his hands gripped the bed sheets at his sides.

"Ha-Harry!" Draco moaned when the messy black-haired male started to suck use his hand to stroke in time with the movements of his mouth. All the new feelings, it didn't take Draco long to reach his climax and the bucking of his hips was Harry's warning to the fact Draco would soon cum. Which happened the moment Harry started to go faster and bring Draco's length to the back of his throat without gagging.

"H-Harry! I'm-," Draco didn't even get to finish the sentence before he released fast into Harry's mouth, and of course, Harry never moved as he took the creamy white substance into his mouth and swallowed. Harry licked his boyfriend clean before pulling off with a very dirty pop. Thank Merlin they had silencing charms up.

"You alright?" Harry asked lightly. Draco nodded, still trying to catch his breath from the orgasmic feeling coursing through his body. Harry went back to kissing Draco, who didn't mind the taste on Harry's tongue. As Draco came down from his first release, Harry wordlessly and wandlessly used a lubrication charm he'd found in all his research. All Draco felt was a warm sensation on his ass and around his hole. Of course, it surprised him as he looked at Harry. "Lubrication charm."

"You need to teach me that one." Draco said.

"I will, now just relax and let me make you feel good…" Harry stated.

"What about you?" Draco wondered.

"Don't worry about me, I get to enjoy it too." Harry informed lightly as his right hand moved down between Draco's legs and under his perfect butt. "You have to stay relaxed for this…" Harry told him as his fingers massaged the area in circles and then one finger gently worked around and entered slowly. Draco did tense at first, but let out a breath and relaxed as Harry's finger moved in fully. "How's that?"

"It's fine, doesn't hurt at all." Draco replied. Harry smiled as he went back to kissing Draco and then began to pump his finger in and out, slowly at first, and then gradually picked up speed when Draco moaned against Harry's lips and spread his legs more. Harry didn't say anything as he eventually worked a second finger inside. "Oh my god!" Draco ended up breaking the kiss to throw his head back at the feeling.

"M-More! Harry, please…" Draco asked. Harry adjusted his knees for a better angle to thrust his fingers in and out of his boyfriend's rear. Harry did find a little a little walnut-sized spot that he hit several times that got Draco basically screaming in pleasure. Despite having one orgasm already, he was hard once more. "Wa-Want…Y-You. Harry…Merlin, Harry…Want you. Need you, please…"

"Easy, love…" Harry told him. "I'll give you what you want." Harry used his hand to conjure the lube there then stroke himself a bit before removing his fingers and setting his tip at Draco's ass. "Ready?" Draco nodded to him quickly. Harry held his cock with one hand, and Draco's hip with the other before beginning to push inside. Draco did hiss as the stretch, but remembered to breathe and stay relaxed. When Harry was fully inside and they'd come flush against one another, Harry gently moved to kiss Draco's lips. "Feel alright?"

"Just the stretch to adjust too," Draco told him. "But I think I'm alright."

Harry lightly took hold of Draco's cock and stroked it as a distraction, which worked, and then Harry began to rock his hips slowly. Draco ended up moaning at how it felt and spreading his legs, but Harry just got Draco's knees up and pushed them apart lightly before thrusting a bit faster. Harry moaned a little and continued what he was doing, eventually adjusting to spread Draco's legs and lean forward fully to be able to thrust and make out with him easily. It didn't go on for too long, considering Harry hadn't cum once but Draco had already and Harry got him worked up with the fingering/preparation.

"Harry…Harry, oh god…" Draco panted. "Ha-Harder. F-Faster! Please…!" He pleaded.

"Dray…Merlin, Draco…" Harry managed to get his arms under Draco's knees and push them forward.

"Harry!" Draco moaned loudly, gripping around Harry's neck.

They were breathing hard, bodies sleek with sweat as Harry was rocking his hips hard, fast, and deep. Neither one would hold on much longer.

"Babe…I'm gonna cum," Harry told him gently.

"M-Me too. C-Cum with me…" Draco asked.

"Inside?" Harry looked at him.

"Y-Yes! Oh, god, yes! Harry. I-I'm-…" Draco arched slightly and he spilled across his and Harry's stomachs.

"Dray!" Harry moaned out, thrusting in one more time and finally cumming inside his boyfriend's bum.

Of course, Harry stopped moving and the two made out while riding their pleasure highs. Eventually, Harry pulled out and Draco was first to recover and get his wand, casting cleaning charms over them to get rid of the mess and then putting his wand away. The two got comfortable next to one another, the post-sex cuddling and light kisses.

"I should get back to my bed," Harry told Draco lightly.

"Stay…" Draco remarked tiredly.

"Alright,"

Harry didn't argue. How could he? It had been a great night. The two of them got to talk and get together, they were officially dating and had sex for the first time. How could it get any better? It probably couldn't. For once in Harry couldn't even remember how long; he was truly happy with how his life was going right now and he would do anything to hold onto and protect it. Nothing would ever take this away from him.
