You And Mine

You and mine

Day 14- Mistletoe @hpdestress

It's like a movie that plays on repeat

I sort of like the ending of your hand in mine

It's about the two of us who strolls in the back

And somedays when we meet in the dark

Under the night of a thousand stars

With your hands clutched in mine

I sort of like the ending of you and me

It's like a song I think I dance on repeat

You always hold my hand and tell me to feel the beat

We dance your troubles away

With twist and turn in every sway

We keep our love alive from under the waters

Breathing in the deep ocean of love that wavers

We cling onto the Swing and we reach for the sky

With your hand clutched in mine

I sort of like the ending of you and me

We meet up after every rain by the cafe you called me in

We'd talk about the Situation we'd be in

I'd hold your hand and you would hold mine

And the others would blush with the innocence of our smiles

We'd paint each other's nails and ruin it the next second

Then we'd call it a style because we're too lazy to do it a second

You'd wash your white shirts with my pinks

Then you'll end up smiling and wear it as you give me a wink

We'd watch another movie on repeat

And talk about the promises we've kept

I sort of like the ending of you and me

We ride the bus and reach for the last

And talk about our future for we know we'd last

Then I wonder from where we began

From under the mistletoe to under the broken tree

With your hands in mine and mine in yours

With the whole wide world watching, I confess and make you mine

And you make me yours

Then I think now

I sort of like the ending of you and me

And a something of you and mine.

Day 23- sweaters @hpdestress

" Harry, have you seen my sweater Molly gave to me last Christmas?" Draco called from the bedroom while Harry was picking out his shoes for the dinner at the Weasley's.

" Should be in our closet " Harry replied back.

" I can't find it " He yelled back again.

Huffing Harry went to the bedroom to where Draco was standing in front of the closet finding the specific sweater.

" What does it look like ?" Harry asked

" It's a grey sweater with a DM over the front " Draco replied.

" I have never seen you wearing it, why now ?" Harry hummed as he knelt down looking for the sweater as well.

" I thought you know it's Christmas day, so let's wear what she gave me. It'll be like that I saved it for a special occasion, besides I think she'd feel good knowing I wore the sweater she knit me but it's nowhere to be seen " Draco replied.

" did you burn it ?" Harry joked but Draco didn't find it funny, obviously.

" Please Harry, I really want her to know that I care about her presents " Draco complained

" I'm sure you do, the broken vase stands in accord to that statement "

" I still have all it's pieces " Draco rolled his eyes at Harry

" and yet you never reparo it " Harry countered back

Draco hummed momentarily pausing his search" how come that never crossed my mind?"

Harry got up after that, exhaling harshly " It's not here "

" Where could it possibly be then ?" Draco whined

" I'm sure it must be somewhere but we don't have enough time to look for that sweater. Just wear any of them " Harry suggested

" But I wanted to wear her gifted sweater " Draco sighed taking a few steps back to sit on the bed.

Harry came and sat down next to him and took his hands in his own " If you don't wear her gifted sweater, she won't stop loving you Draco. She really really loves you alright and nothing can change that-"

" But-"

" No buts Draco- I know you want to show her that it matters to you and I know it does but losing that Sweater doesn't mean that, that sweater doesn't matter to you. Just wear any of them, she'll love it nonetheless" Harry smiled reassuringly at Draco.

Draco pursed his lips then smiled back, leaning his head on Harry's shoulder " I still wanted to wear her sweater "

"Then you can wear one of mine that she gave to me. I'm sure she would absolutely adore it " Harry smiled.

Draco nodded. He turned his head a little so his head was fitted in Harry's neck and softly kissed him there " I don't know what I'd do without you somedays "

" Absolutely terrible if I have to be honest "

Draco laughed shortly then was pulled up by Harry to get dressed.

They left the house in an hour and Draco as decided wore one of Harry's black sweater with small H's knitted all over. Upon reaching as usual they were engulfed into huge hugs and for an enormous amount of time until they would slightly push to breathe in properly.

When Draco was helping Molly after all the celebrations in the kitchen, she noticed his sweater and said " It looks way better than it did on Harry. I appreciate you wearing that"

" I love them. I wish I could wear these more often but I save these for occasions very special " Draco smiled at her.

" and this is a very special occasion ?" Molly asked

" Of course. You make it special "Draco smiled adoringly.

Molly's eyes filled with little tears due to the overwhelming moment and immediately hugged Draco " You are an absolute gem Draco Darling. Absolute gem"

Draco himself felt too overwhelmed and hugged her back " I love you Molly, I really do"

" Oh Draco-" she choked and hugged him tighter as her voice broke too " I love you too Darling, I love you too "

Little did they know Harry was watching them from the corner and smiling at the way the moment came into being. Harry knew what that affection meant to Draco. All his life Draco was suppressed of so many emotions, so many feelings that he wasn't able to express, love he didn't recieve the way he should've but him coming into the family had shown him ways to express his feelings more so than often and some turned into one of these beautiful moments. Draco finally felt loved and even though sometimes he doesn't admit it but falling in Love with Harry had made him fall in love with so many things that remained out of the count on fingers but he was so glad of that and Harry was even more proud of Draco.

The next morning when they woke up and checked under the Christmas tree of the Weasley house, Draco had received almost 10 gifts from Molly, all of them were the sweaters she might've knit overnight and having Draco's and Harry's initials. Draco had never felt so loved before in his life and he wept sitting there holding onto them tighter to his body enjoying the warmth of the sweaters.

" You like them?" He suddenly noticed Molly had came into the room and was watching him hold onto the sweaters.

Draco stood up and immediately hugged her for a very long time, no words spoken just the affection that developed in the moment. Molly herself didn't say anything but Just kept hugging him back the same way knowing that no words needed to be spoken, no sound had to be made to convey anything. It was only when Ron came into the room and joked about the universe probably imploding with so much love that they separated.

" I love them Molly, every single one of them " Draco said after a while.

Molly smiled in her acute, wide grin and sparkled eyes way that she does so often that said so many more things than the words that could've been spoken.

Harry had been leaning against the door the whole time and now finally he reached behind Draco and hugged him from the back when nobody was looking so they had their privacy " I was right, wasn't I ?"

But Draco didn't reply instead he kept smiling.

Harry, worrisome tried to catch a look on his face " Dray- baby- are you crying?"

" what- no -" he choked.

Harry chuckled behind him and hugged him even tighter, kissing the side of his neck " I'm so proud of you "

Draco hummed, snuggling himself into Harry's arms wiping the corner of his eyes " Thank you "

" For what ?" Harry asked smiling.

Draco only kept looking forward as the hustle in the house that started with Ginny who came into the kitchen with her flowy ginger hair and Ron's hands which roamed over the leftover cakes, Fleur who spoke posh-ly even yet, Arthur who came with his morning energy and his dad jokes, Hermione with her another day of helping Molly with the breakfast and the rest that fitted into the scene like the pieces of a puzzle.

" For this " Draco replied.

Harry looked forward to what Draco was watching and smiled himself. He was himself thankful for all of it and now he was even more happier to have shared this with someone he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. It all started with just a train compartment with a ginger head boy who was messy, shabby, a smile so keen and a heart of gold.

After a million dreams

Day 20- Christmas break at Hogwarts @hpdestress

“ Did you do it ?” Draco nervously asked as soon as Harry came to the meeting point.  

Harry held a disappointed face then nodded “ I did “ He exclaimed 

Draco let out the breath he was holding onto and immediately embraced Harry in a hug “ I was afraid they wouldn’t let you ” 

Harry separated from the hug and along with Draco sat down over the cushioned couch turning to face him " Well at first Ron didn't want to- I actually think he doesn't want to even still but Hermione was a great help. She said she understood that I need a little space and that it's nice that I want to take a break from certain things and be myself to figure stuff out- whatever that meant but she said she'll handle everything and she was super supportive of it "

Draco looked at Harry for a moment, a sense of worry invading his headspace for a while.

" What is it ?" Harry interjected his thoughts.

" It's nothing- I- just- sometimes you know get the feeling that Hermione knows about us otherwise why would she be this understanding about you staying alone at school for Christmas break? "

Harry thought for a moment watching keenly at the red cushion in deep thought then nodded understandably " If that is true then we need to find a way to ensure that whatever she knows isn't right"

" How are we going to do that ?" Draco asked, confused.

__________________________________

" Well are you sure you don't want to come with us to stay for Christmas, I mean it does get lonely around here during holidays you know ?" Pansy asked with her voice as sweet as honey ( too much honey ) and her hand going up and down Draco's arm.

Draco tried to retract his hand but he didn't want to hint it off so he kept cool " I'll be fine, don't worry Pansy. I just wished my parents would finally match eyes with me you know. To not talk is one thing but to uninvite me- that's bizzare. But I'll just stay here and finish up on my work or something "

Pansy modded in sympathy " I really am sorry about that Draco. Are you sure you'll be okay ?"

" I'll be fine- You should go now, the train leaves soon " Draco told her and immediately helped her bag up on the train.

" Well- owl me if you need anything or just want to talk to someone, alright ?" Pansy reassured and tried to kiss Draco over his cheeks but he skillfully dodged it off.

Draco nodded " I will "

Draco waved to his friends one last time before he dragged back his empty suitcases as a part of the enactment Harry and Draco had worked on to convince their friend's that they weren't together. It was a brilliant plan, at least how Harry likes to admit, this way not only Draco got out of being questioned several things but also were able to convince Hermione that Draco hadn't planned on staying for Christmas because of Harry but his plans had changed the last moment.

He took the secret alley where rarely anyone ever was and the place where Harry and Draco were to meet up after the train departed.

Draco walked blindly into something invisible and immediately realised it was Harry. Harry revealed his face from under the cloak and wrapped Draco under the cloak too.

" Did it work ?" Harry whispered

" Hopefully " Draco whispered back.

Out of curiosity Harry asked " Does Pansy know you're gay ?"

" No, not yet, why ?" Draco frowned

" stay away from her then- she's definitely trying to hit on you " Harry rolled his eyes.

Draco let out a soft laugh then kissed Harry over his crimson cheeks " It doesn't matter, I've already been hit on, and very much taken"

Harry raised his eyebrows " That you are"

" Yes I am mister" Draco smiled. Harry looked up at him for a few more moments before Draco kissed him over the lips and they departed for their Christmas at Hogwarts.

As planned Harry and Draco spent almost everytime of everyday in the breaks with each other secretly in the room of requirements. They spent their Hours Baking, learning how to knit, making candies, eating a lot of cakes, decorating the place with Christmas things and decorating their own Christmas tree together, they did everything together and sometimes it took them an entire day but they were proud of themselves and each other by the end of the day. Having the opportunity to be able to spend their Christmas finally with the ones they loved was the best thing that had ever happened to either one of them and they knew they wouldn't change it for the world, even if it all gets messed up in the end. They wanted to be with each other, needed each other more than anything else and it scared them a little bit but it made them so happy. When they looked at each other with awe, they knew they waited for this moment for so long in their life that now it felt so unreal but it was so very real, it was the most real thing I'm existence, even more than the clouds in the sky or the sun and the moon. What they felt for each other was beyond either of them could comprehend but then love isn't a comprehension, is it? It's the most insane thing ever and they were just having the taste of it all.

When finally the Christmas morning arrived and Harry woke up next to a very naked Draco by his side, his breath halted in his throat. He was mesmerized by his beauty and the moment itself. It overwhelmed him so much that he couldn't avoid the tears that sprinkled in his eyes. Knowing that he woke upto the man the loved the most on Christmas morning was nothing more than a miracle and Harry assumed he might just be the luckiest man alive.

When the night finally came around and they were sat under the lights of golden near their Christmas tree, Harry Turned to Draco and smiled.

" Can I give you my present now ?" He asked

Draco startled for a moment but then nodded with a sweet smile. Harry pulled from behind him a small box, not more than a size of a shoe box and gave it to Draco.

" Before you open this, I want you to know something "

Draco nodded, keeping the box aside to give Harry his Full attention.

Harry cleared his throat and began " I have spent 18 Christmases in my life and this one is the best so far and its all because of you " Harry smiled and took Draco's hand in his own and continued " When I woke up this morning and I saw you lying next to me, it hit me then that I had spent so much time of my life hating you when all this time I could've been able to hold you closer much before and not in secret. It somewhat breaks me to know how much time we have wasted and what I'm about to say is going to sound absolutely insane but Draco, you make me the happiest I've ever been and I don't know what is it about you that just puts a smile on my face everytime I see you but there is something and I can wait an entire life time to know that. I know it sounds absurd and fast and strange but I love you, like I've never loved anyone else and I want to love for the rest of the time"

Draco's eyes welled up with tears with the words he heard and before Harry could've inferred what was happening Draco had jumped into his arms and embraced him tightly in his arms. Moments passed with his hand still around Harry, not believing for even a single second what harry had just said.

Draco broke apart from the hug and cupped Harry's face softly after having created some distance and said " I can't tell you how much I love you and how much I want to scream at the top of my lungs and tell the whole world but you wanting to love me for the rest of your life is the greatest honour I'll ever have,even more than being loved by you. You really are one of a kind Harry and I'm too selfish to let you go "

Harry couldn't help but smile fondly at Draco. He placed his hand over Draco's hands over his face and kissed the inside of his palm then turned his hand the other way around and kissed them too and then finally leaned forward and pressed his forehead against Draco's " It's my honour to Love you Draco Malfoy"

Draco chuckled and finally kissed Harry over the lips with ecstasy. This was the kind of Christmas Draco always wished for, dreamt of even but never in his million dream he had ever imagined that it might come true but right now, kissing Harry, holding his hand, being away in the secret behind so many walls and a moment just of their own, this was even more perfect than a dream. It was heaven itself.

" Do you think Harry's having a nice Christmas ?" Hermione asked as she laid next to Ron and watched the stars in the late Christmas night.

" I'm telling you he's having the time of his life " Ron replied.

" Why do you think he keeps it a secret from us? Doesn't he trust us or something ?" She asked concerned.

Ron hummed, then said " I think he likes having one thing all to his own self. All his life, he's always shared things,even love but he's met the one thing in his life right now that he doesn't have to share and I think it makes him Happy. It's evident Draco makes him the happiest he's ever been even if he's a douchebag "

Hermione Chuckled " Since when did you get so wise ?"

" Always a tone of surprise " Ron laughed.

" He's got better at this game you know " Blaise said as they moved their bags into the carriage after having waved Draco goodbye.

" I wanna see how many stupid stories he gonna pull before he comes clean " Pansy told him.

" Think Potter have some effect on his intelligence, don't you think ?"

" you mean he's dumber now ?"

Blaise nodded.

" Lord save him"

Over the kitchen top

Day 15- snowed in/snowstorm @hpdestress

Stuck.

That is what they were as Draco would like to describe their current situation. They were having a perfectly fine evening, had a fun made out session over the couch ignoring their work, took it to bed like the good friends with benefits they were until it got ruined by Harry claim of having a date the next night and he assumed that Draco would have been fine with it, he wasn't, which led to a fight, then another fight and to make matters worse, a snow storm hit right when Draco wanted to leave, so there he was now, Stuck with Harry.

Draco grunted as he collapsed back on the sofa after having paced back and forth after completing his work.

Harry, like he should have, rolled his eyes at the complete unnecessary noises he was making.

" What you got a problem with that too ?" Draco taunted

Harry grumbled something under his breath then left the room.

" Yeah, Leave" Draco bellowed after him then relaxed back with a sigh.

He checked the watch once again after having checked it 15 minutes before and groaned again after realizing that it had only been 15 minutes. He tried reading theories to find solutions and mixtures to cure the effect of the new potion he worked on but 20 minutes later, it still didn't work. It in fact only made matters worse when he realised that there could even be more than 1 side effect to that potion. Bored out of his mind he even tried reading from the defense against the dark arts books Harry had kept on his shelf but as he'd like to put, wasn't as interesting as he thought them to be, in fact he even gave try to a muggle book he found on the shelf but several minutes later he kept it back on the shelf, wasn't interesting either. At this point he was even wondering where Harry had gone to, he was somewhere in the flat obviously but he was silent as a dead bird that it almost ran opposite to Draco's interest to find out what Harry was upto.

It wasn't like Draco didn't like being at Harry's place, it was that, after a fight with Harry, he'd much rather prefer being at his own but the menace of Harry Potter he is, he ran out of floo powder and had been procrastinating ordering some new one and for several reasons that made and didn't made any sense held him back to the place, one of them being ill effects of apparating. And there was also too little things left for Draco to do after he had already reorganized his shelf 3 times, one- chronologically, two- by size, and three- by width; and apparently even after interchanging the covers of cushions, finding lost items from underneath the sofa, reorganizing the TV stand, setting his shoe rack right and aligning the pictures in the hallway by size and order. There was nothing more left to do and even then it had only been 3 hours, still too much to go and the snow storm wasn't stopping either. Sighing Draco cuddled back into himself, hoping some sleep would come along. It didn't.

He groaned with the emphasis of his hand and face planted into the cushion and when he finally raised his head, he immediately startled upon seeing Harry standing by the sofa.

" Give a warning next time" Draco grumbled.

Harry nonchalantly walked away " If you have so much problem why don't you just disapparate away or go back in the cold?"

" Because- Splinching. Its dangerous disapparating in such a cold weather and especially in a snowstorm-"

" Oh is that so- or is it just another one of your excuses" Harry narrowed his eyes at Draco as he turned to face him.

Draco gasped enclosing some distance between them " What is that supposed to mean"

" Oh you know, just another one of your excuses that make up no sense and end up pissing off other people " Harry hinted.

Draco looked seriously offended and more so he didn't even have a reply to this " I don't know what I did or what I didn't but you don't deserve to be mad at me or say anything like that to me"

" oh- i'm sorry " Harry fake apologized then turned around rolling his eyes, not for long since Draco turned him around like a whiplash by his wrist.

" What is your problem?"

" You- You are my problem. I was so happy to finally go on a date with someone who doesn't want to just sleep with me but you had to ruin it with your irresistible need to find nooks in everyone and absolutely useless reasons to fight with me over why I shouldn't go on a date. You're just jealous that I got a date while you've been single for over an year now" Harry snapped.

He hadn't meant to be so harsh but he had ended up being this harsh and he regretted it but he knew he wouldn't take back a word because this haven't happened for the first time. Lately Draco had been ruining most of his plans, running into him on the very few dates he even get and tagging along with Harry almost everywhere which makes it seem like they're a couple which Harry is tired of.

Draco chewed the inside of his cheeks, looking hurt then stepped away " I'll leave as soon as the snowstorm comes even a little bit at rest and if it doesn't by the rest of the night i'll walk home" and he went back to the sofa and picked up his pages and started re-reading everything. Harry almost felt pity for yelling at him that way, he shouldn't have but he wanted Draco to stop ruining his plans with everyone he tries to go out with.

However when later hours stroke and the snow storm still didn't come to a rest and Draco having already been able to re-read his potion work and determining what was wrong with his potion, he felt hungry, very that is and went into the kitchen in hopes to find something to eat. And he found, Harry.

Draco sighed and was about to return back but didn't when his stomach grumbled loudly, " I need something to eat"

Harry moved out of the way, a bowl of noodles resting on the counter which with much reluctance he went and picked it up to eat. They ate in silence for as long as they knew until Harry was keeping his bowl in the sink to wash later and ready to leave when Draco interjected keeping his own bowl on the counter.

" Wait"

Harry hummed turning around to face Draco.

" I- I am really sorry- for filling your head and trying to ruin your plans, I- just- I don't want you to- " He paused briefly and looked at Harry's face then retracted his words " Actually never mind- I'm just sorry, I won't do that again"

" You don't want me to what ?" Harry asked blocking Draco's way out of the kitchen.

" Nothing, It doesn't matter " Draco mumbled trying to move Harry's hand away to go to the other side but he didn't budge, even a little bit.

" You don't want me to what ?" Harry asked. Draco shook his head still trying to move Harry's hand but both being stubborn, Harry kept on asking the same question while Draco constantly refusing to answer it until Harry had enough and cornered Draco between the counter and him and forced him to speak.

" You don't want me to what Draco ?" He asked, this time his voice more denser than it had been.

Draco gulped shaking his head but it was of no use. His heart was racing rapidly in his chest and no voice even formulated in his throat and all he could focus was the emerald eyes that were gazing right into his own grey ones.

" Tell me Draco " Harry asked again.

Draco wanted to deny but not even his head shook anymore. Being cornered by Harry was his teenage dream come true but he never thought what after that situation and apparently right now with the sexiest man he knew standing in front of him, his hands resting on the either side of his body and his face entirely too close to Draco's own that he couldn't think of anything, at least the ideas which didn't involve wrapping his legs around Harry's waist and running his hand in his hair and one hand running down his torso-

" Draco ?"

Draco gulped then tried to look behind him then his eyes and failing to keep his attention away from Harry's eyes, he closed them and let his heart pour out the truth, there wasn't anything left to say.

" I sort of- lately- have- been having- well some- feelings- romantic feelings for you and I don't want toh to go on that date or any " and he finally opened his eyes to an expressionless face and he waited for Harry to reply something, anything but he didn't, he hadn't spoken anything in several minutes and Draco was losing his sanity.

" Never mind- forget I said anyt-nmph" And with that he felt a strong hold on the side of his waist and soft lips pressed over his own. They normally didn't kiss, despite being Friends with benefits but kissing Harry was like day lights being strung out of his own body or the fireworks bursting inside his own and the warmth that spread over his body as Harry's hand wrapped around his waist and pulled him closer than they had been leaving a nice tingling and totally arousing feeling to bloom inside his own self. He enjoyed it, every second of it.

And it came to a halt when Harry separated away to look into his eyes " Took you long enough "

" What ? You knew ?" Draco was surprised.

" Do you really think you were discreet about any of it? Please even Teddy hides things better and he's only 6" Harry pointed.

Draco hummed, agreeing, nodding " So what now ?"

" So what ? Nothing. I take you out tomorrow, spoil you, then come back here and watch a movie with you then maybe, just maybe ask you to spend christmas with me ?"

Draco smiled then nodded " I like the sound of it"

Harry smiled back and kissed his cheeks " Allow me to be a gentleman"

Draco giggled, dropping his head over Harry's shoulder " Its good to finally be able to kiss you"

" Yeah- I really had to constraint myself from it" Harry mumbled and Draco chuckled finding it humorous.

" Shall we do it again if its good ?" Harry asked smirking.

Draco narrowed his eyes at Harry then laughed it off and kissed him and this time, he took it far to make Harry an ungentle man.

Day 24- Family/ Found Family dinner

TW- NSFW

The news delivered to Harry was very casual for the great deal of news it was on a normal nearing Sunday before Christmas when he was watching TV with a slice of leftover pizza in his hand. It was then when Draco was taking olzie, his beautiful but absolutely Maniacal dog to walk when he told Harry vaguely.

" oh before I go, We have to go to my family dinner for christmas dinner on Christmas eve. Bye " and he walked out of the condo before Harry could've even processed the information in his mind. It was an act in purpose. Apparently as it is, Harry doesn't tend to take family dinner news at the Malfoy's as easily as Draco would like and this time to escape his never ending whirlwind of emotions and panic, he dismissed by basically running out of there leaving Harry to be to register the information by himself.

And as it happens everytime Harry sat up and down a couple of town, mumbled to himself, complained in the air, grew a little panicked then settled down on the couch over again and Draco came just in time for Harry to be on the couch sitting with his chin in his hands.

" I see you've done being a Drama queen" Draco said as he walked into the condo and towards Harry. It was just another way of saying how Harry dealt with the information each time.

Harry rolled his eyes and turned around, leaning on the back of the couch rest " I know you did it on purpose"

" Yes because you worry unnecessarily " Draco replied as he stood in front of Harry behind the couch, touching his cheek by the palm of his hand.

" I do not worry unnecessarily, I know they still don't like me " Harry mumbled.

Draco knelt down to be on eye level with Harry and said " we've been going out for a while now and they've met you before and they know all about you, they've accepted you, they have embraced you and even treated you as sanely as possible, then how can you possibly think they don't like you ?"

" Well to begin they gave me a really hard time in the beginning. What if your parents change their mind ?" Harry asks innocently.

Draco smiles at Harry and kissed his forehead in a soft touch " I know they won't-"

" but what if they- nmph-" Harry's interruption yet again was interrupted by Draco's lips over his own making him forget what he wanted to say and by the time Draco separated and got up to leave, Harry was already swooned.

" Bastard " Harry blushed at Draco.

Draco chuckled at him, ruffled his hair and went into the bedroom.

_________________________________

When the day of dinner arrived, Harry got dressed up way before hours and in his attempt to wait for Draco to get dressed he managed to crease his pants which he redid the ironing of in the last minute that they were late by 10 minutes.

"Harry- Draco- I'm so glad you're here " Narcissa greeted them as soon as they arrived the manor and rang the antique bell.

"Mother " Draco replied kissing Narcissa on each cheek once as a ritual they've developed while Harry forcefully smiled at her and walked in after both of them.

Draco noticed Harry was walking slower than usual and lagged behind to catch up with Harry " Come on, don't be so worried"

" Is something wrong?" Narcissa turned and asked

" absolutely not" Draco smiled back at her. He secretly took Harry's hand in his own and intertwined them as they followed her after that.

" Is it hot In here ?" Harry mumbled to Draco later.

Draco rolled his eyes and shook his head.

" Is everything alright with Harry, he seems a little- uh- tense ?" Narcissa asked.

Harry cleared his throat at once " I'm good. Everything's good, just a little hot in here"

" Oh- would you like me to open the windows ?" Narcissa asked sweetly.

" No that's alright, I'll just take off my coat- Draco- why don't you take me to the room to keep my coat off in ?" Harry asked.

Draco seemingly was startled but took Harry to his old bedroom to keep the coat in.

" Are you okay ?" Draco asked when he shut the door behind him.

" can we leave already ?" Harry asked dramatically shaking his hand in the air.

Draco sighed, rolling his eyes then enclosing the distance between the two to cup his face in his hands " It's alright- just relax. A few hours and we'll be out, don't worry"

Harry visibly relaxed a little in his touch but yet not entirely " I still feel like I should not have came "

" nonsense " Draco muttered and they readied themselves to get out of the room.

As they walked down the stairs and into the dinning room, the table was getting ready with Lucius helping Narcissa set the table.

" and I told him- he can just skeedadle himself out of my shop and buy someone else's flowers- who was he to say he's seen better lilies in the entire area? I grow the best lilies out here " Lucius sternly said, proudly even.

" what happened ?" Draco asked as he got along to help with setting up the table even though Narcissa refused while Harry remained there watching them having their family time.

" oh nothing this stupid bloke came to my shop today and told me that he's seen better lilies, like that could be possible " Lucius scoffed.

"As if " Draco scoffed.

They chatted a little and laughed along a little and even though Harry was interested in listening, he wandered of watching the family portrait on the back wall and was amazed to realise how much they have changed. With war and everything, the Malfoy's had became completely stranded and abandoned and nothing of their own left but now, Lucius ran the sweetest little best flower shop in the entire town while Narcissa owned a lowscale yet stable botique and designed various clothing for the orphanage, costume parties, office goers and school robes. They had outdone themselves if Harry had to say. They no longer were the Malfoy's everyone knew of and it left Harry wondering a lot how much they must've had to struggle but Draco never talked of it, he chose not to and used to dismiss the topic with " the clock has worn out, live in these times my friend "

" Harry ?" Someone called him and he snapped back from his little train of thoughts and saw that everyone was staring at him.

" yeah " Harry pursed his lips as he turned completely to them.

" What were you thinking ?" Draco asked.

" Oh nothing, I was just watching that family portrait, I don't think it was there the last time I came " Harry replied.

" Oh that- yeah- we bought it back from gringotts. You should have a nice big family picture in the house you know " Lucius grinned. Yep, a total family guy now.

They soon sat down to eat dinner with little chattering and anecdotes constantly being shared between all of them which helped Harry relax further.

It was mid dinner when Harry was eating of his plate when he felt a hand over his thigh and he immediately turned his head toward Draco who was sitting besides him with his left hand under the table.

" What are you doing ?" Harry whispered.

" Me ? I'm doing nothing " Draco whispered back, clearly smirking and resuming eating from his plate whole listening to his mother talk about the cutest little costume she made for Annie.

Harry with much difficulty chose to ignore the hand over the thigh until he suddenly felt it sliding upwards towards his crotch.

" Draco stop " Harry muttered to Draco.

Draco ignored Harry and laughed at his parents joke yet again making Harry laugh as well even though he clearly did not know what the joke was. When he felt it getting very close to his crotch, he dropped his hand under the table to stop Draco's from sliding further but it worked only for a few minutes until Narcissa noticed he was eating with his left hand and found it hard to eat his food.

" Harry- just use your right hand why don't you ?"

" Oh yeah- ofcourse. Just a small blister on my right hand you know " Harry lied frowning.

"Oh really, let me see ? " Narcissa asked

Harry immediately shook his head " Don't worry it's alright. It almost healed anyways " He smiled forcibly and bought his right back up to eat which enabled Draco's hand to resume sliding until he finally in a feather touch he touched Harry's crotch making Harry choke on his food.

" Are you sure you're okay Harry ? You seem a little tense today ?" Lucius asked.

Harry shook his head coughing " I'm fine- really- I'm fine" he resumed coughing, Draco Patting his back to help him until Harry glared at him and excused himself for the washroom.

Harry was getting out of the washroom after having composed himself that he was immediate dragged into a room and pinned against the door as soon as he was in with a hand over his lips to keep him shut.

" I hope you were atleast a little turned on " Draco Whispered in the dark.

Harry pushed Draco's hands aside and snapped " Are you out of your mind or what ? We're at your parents and this is what you're doing ?!"

" I can't help it. Being here reminded me of the time when you stayed here the first night" Draco mumbled leaning down so he was breathing over Harry's neck and sweetly licked it, leaving Harry to incoherent whispers " remember that night ?"

" Yeah " Harry moaned pulling Draco closer in desperation by the side of his waist.

" Remember when my parents almost caught us fucking ?" Draco kissed Harry's neck softly.

Harry nodded, groaning " We should go"

" Or we could stay here a couple of minutes " Draco suggested moaning against his jawline.

Harry groaned then gained his willpower to push Draco against the door this time and kissed Draco desirably, moaning faintly " You're gonna be the death of me Draco Malfoy "

" Let's get this dinner done with "

Draco moaned nodding.
