Draco sipped on his glass of fire whiskey as he stayed hidden in the corner, the party was in full swing now but still he felt alone. His eyes wandered over the sea of red heads, with a few dark coloured hair or blonde hair occasionally disrupting the pattern. He had received the invite 2 weeks ago exactly, and he was in shock to say the least. Although Hermione and himself had gained a new and quite close friendship considering everything he had put her through at Hogwarts, he had been quite surprised when he had received the invite to Charlie and Hermione's engagement party. He knew the two had been dating for quite a while, and it was only a matter of time before the second eldest Weasley popped the question. But he just never thought it possible that he would get invited.

Draco Malfoy wouldn't admit this out loud but he was grateful. Grateful for finally finding the meaning of friends and how they should be.

He felt the burn of the firewhiskey hit the back of his throat, ready to turn round for another when a stumbling Harry Potter almost fell into him. Draco felt the corner of his mouth tug up almost into a smile, but he refused momentarily. Instead opting for an eye roll and helping Harry back up to his feet.

"I think you've had too much fire whiskey Potter" Draco drawled, reaching for the glass in the Harry's hand only for it to be snatched away.

"Shhh Draco" Harry grinned, swaying slightly from side to side. "Don't ruin the fun" Harry raised his glass before tipping the rest of the contents into his mouth and swallowing in one gulp. Draco couldn't help but let out a chuckle as his face contorted into a look of regret.

"You're going to regret that in the morning...Or maybe in a couple of minutes if you throw it all up again"

Harry pouted, and Draco couldn't help but think it was adorable.

"This is an wonderful party!"

"Why yes Harry, it is" Draco picked up his refilled glass of fire whiskey and tried hard not to laugh at the now intoxicated boy who lived.

"Mrs Weasley's throws the best parties" Harry sighed wistfully, now leaning against Draco and resting his head on Draco's shoulder. Draco felt his cheeks turn pink, suddenly it was starting to feel extremely hot.

"She does" Draco agreed, catching the eye of the bride to be across the room. Hermione began to smirk, sending Draco a quick wink and turned back to her fiance. He really had no idea as to why he told Granger about his crush for Potter, she always made things too obvious and this was something he didn't want to become obvious.

Without warning Harry slipped from Draco's shoulder's, his arm managing to hit and topple one of the small drinks tables before he crumpled into a heap on the floor. Draco couldn't help but laugh, making a mental note to ensure he told Potter about this in the morning once he had recovered from his hangover. The rest of the Weasley clan glanced over at the sudden loud noise, when they noticed what had happened the group began to laugh. Draco bent down and helped Harry back to his feet.

"You're so drunk Potter"

"Am not" Harry stuck his tongue out at Draco who then rolled his eyes but smiled

"Are too"

"Are not!"

"Are too"

"JUST KISS ALREADY DAMMIT!"

Draco and Harry's head snapped up, trying to find the source of the voice, they saw a red head suddenly bob down and started to move between the crowd, a gap emerged and from in between the legs of numerous guests Draco saw the source to be none other than the twins. He was quite sure his face the shade of the Weasley's hair.

"Come on Potter, lets get you home"

"But it's Hermionee's party! She'll not forgive me if I leave early" Harry whined, glancing up at Draco with a sad, scornful look, one that looked a puppy and was quite hard to resist.

"Believe me Potter" Draco glanced over at Hermione who was now happily snogging Charlie Weasley in the kitchen of the Burrow. "I don't think Granger will mind, she's a bit preoccupied right now"

Harry sighed but nodded, allowing Draco to wrap his arm around his waist and helping him outside of the wards before apparating back to Harry's apartment. When at the door Harry gave Draco the key and they stumbled in before Harry collapsed on the sofa. Draco took a seat beside him and sighed, the silence enveloping them both.

"Draco?"

"Yes Harry"

"You're cute...and handsome" Harry's head was back on Draco's shoulder now

"You're cute too Potter" Draco chuckled, and patted the raven haired boy's head once before resting his own head against his. His eyes fluttered closed and within minutes the two fell into a blissful and peaceful sleep in each other's arms.
