17. Their own song
Prompt used - Holding the other's chin up |I cried because I had to rewrite everything because of fucking losing it over bad internet. | Fluff | Harry's and Draco's coming out as a couple doesn't go as planned| credits to original editor.
" Hermione I thought you said there wasn't going to be any reporter's or photographers " Harry argued with her
" I thought so too but I think I must've sorely mistaken. I really am sorry Harry. If I had known they would be here at the event I would've never.. look I can try to persuade the editor to not put it up in the newspaper's" Hermione suggested
"that's not what it's about. The rumours spread like fire article's or no articles, you know how the politics it, damn it you're in politics you should kn-"
" Harry yelling at Hermione isn't going to help the situation, alright. I apologize on his behalf" Draco cut him off pinching the bridge of his nose in exhaustion.
" Draco you don't understand the consequences-"
" harry it's your problem as much as mine, of course I understand but yelling about it to her isn't going to help " Draco sighed taking a seat behind him, groaning in his face.
" but it's our come out-"
" I know Harry, I know " Draco said looking calmly at harry
" look I can try to make sure the article isn't released alright " Hermione suggested
" it doesn't matter anymore Hermione. We'll have to face whatever comes alright " Draco spoke
" hey maybe it won't be such a huge deal, Maybe, people might not even care -"
" you're kidding me right Hermione. They wrote an entire page length on my birthday, and this is like a cake for them, you think they won't write about it " Harry threw his hands into the air with a hard movement, angrily.
" he's right Hermione. This is the kind of news they wouldn't miss writing at least 2 pages about. There's not much we can do" Draco huffed. The three of them just stayed there in the room for a while, harry silently throwing curses to the cameraman.
" I-i think we should go. It's been a long night. We've already had too much on the plate. We could talk about it later yeah ?" Draco asked as he stood up knowing good enough that staying any longer wasn't going to help
" you're right. You guys I really am sorry " Hermione sighed exhausted
As if Harry's anger has toned down a bit he exhaled " I'm sorry for yelling at you. It wasn't your fault "
And with that Harry and Draco flooed back for their place. They didn't really talk much about whatever happened at the event, both knowing the conversation would've Only led to nothingness and knowing how chaotic everything already was, they decided to sleep it away.
As expected next morning ,the daily prophet arrived and harry groaned as soon as he saw the headlines. Briefly reading through the first page, he pushed the newspaper away and as he stared up the Ceiling he thought about the happenings of last night.
They had been invited to a secluded event by Hermione for a ministry fundraiser. Despite people questioning Harry and Draco's peculiar friendship, they had shown up together only because they knew they were in a relationship. Bored out of their minds listening to people's boring stories about their lives and work they took a little detour in the garden, laughing their heads off when they had realised the opportunity of being in private leading to event's such as making out. Only when they were in the middle of kissing they heard a flash went by near by and even if it was Harry's first choice to hex whoever took their picture, he went to Hermione to look if she could handle the matter which after yelling lead nowhere. The problem wasn't the absurdity of questions Harry would have to face after but it was a huge deal for Draco, it was what consequences he would need to face. Harry had came out ages ago while he was still at Hogwarts but Draco had always in his perception thought his sexual orientation was only his own and not some anecdote or a joke to humour their conversations with. But even then his friends knew, just the world didn't. Harry remembered facing huge consequences of coming out, the date requests, the different opinions, and not to forget the hate. He just didn't want Draco to face the him yet he knew he would.
Finally Harry got up from the bed to make some breakfast and decided that he'd come back with breakfast, wake Draco up and calmly talk about the situation and it's solutions. But when he had shown up to the room with breakfast Draco wasn't on the bed, he checked the bathroom, the hallway's, the living room but he was nowhere to be seen. Lastly he came back again to his room and found the balcony window open and behind the curtain stood Draco, reading the daily prophet. Sighing Harry went into the balcony and casually wrapped his arms around Draco's.
" good morning " Harry mumbled as he kissed his shoulder.
" nothing really good about it " Draco replied. frowning Harry took the paper away and let it fall over the ground and turned him over to face Harry.
" it doesn't matter what the article says" Harry said
" it doesn't to you Harry but it does to me- gosh it's all my fault " Draco mumbled as he looked down at his feets.
" hey " Harry frowned Holding Draco's face, lifting it with his finger to look him in the face " it's not your fault. I wanted to kiss you just as much as you wanted to. Something's just happens alright. Can we fight it if can't keep our hands off each other " Harry smiled lightly to cut the heavy tension but Draco simply gazed at harry, not uttering a word
" look I know this is too much right now, it's overwhelming-"
" it's not about overwhelming. See Harry, I've never been a huge fan of coming out but at least I didn't wanted it to be scandal and it's not even just about that, look at the foul things they wrote about you" Draco disgustedly said
" and I don't care Draco. It doesn't matter what that stupid piece of paper says about me. It didn't tell me to give you another chance or it didn't tell me that I should go out on a date with you, it didn't tell me what dating you would be one of the greatest things I'd ever do in life. Being with you was what make me understand that. It doesn't matter what anyone says about me. I know we wanted to come out really fancy or just in our own special way but think of this way , now we don't have to think a lot of about it,it's basically off the table but if we still want to, it's in our hands. You can come out however you want, it's your decision-"
" the decision that is taken away from me harry. I wanted it to be special when we came out alright. It might not mean the same thing to you but it does to me. It matters how we come out and this definitely isn't the glorious way I wanted to come out. You're dating a damned guy who can't even come out to the worl-"
" ssush" harry pressed his fingers on his lips " look I know this is hard. I understand you. Draco when I started dating I knew who I was dating, I knew I was going to have to buy at least 6 different types of shampoo's and I knew I had to keep extra deserts in the fridge for you or that I had to keep extra silk pajamas for you or that I had to sleep on the right of the bed because of you because I wanted to do that for you alright. I don't care what the world says for why we aren't the best for each other, I can't care enough, all I want is you and that's all that matters to me. The world can label me as the gay or the bi disaster who lived or the bi who have thing for quidditch seekers, I don't care Because I have you. As long as I have you to face this shit with I don't care. It was and is my decision to stay with you no matter what I have to face for you. And I still want to spend a lot more time with you because you make me feel like nobody else but the world doesn't know that and it doesn't matter to me as long as I do know that. Hell the whole coming out things Is a huge scandal as you say but we'll work it out, I have faith in you, In us don't you see and quite frankly if we could make past the coming out to your slicked hair father then this is nothing. It was a lot harder than this. Are you getting me? If you want we could do a much better come as a couple in the quibbler, I'm sure Luna would be more than happy to do that for us. It's us against the world darling, not us against each other " Harry explained as he intertwined his fingers with draco and kissed over his knuckles in the middle of the speech. He didn't expect Draco to say much but then he smiled and shook his head
" what ?"
" just thinking of how much I love you " Draco smiled. Blushing Harry replied " I love you too"
" what I did to get you ?" He smiled
" if I remember correctly, you owed me a glass a finest wine from Italy after you've lost the bet " Harry grinned. Draco chuckled at the mention of how they had gotten together before he gave Harry a smile and leaned down to kiss over his nose.
" it's going to be shit isn't it ?" He mumbled
" hell yeah, but we've got each other " Harry mumbled back
" then it's good " Draco whispered before he pressed his lips lightly against Harry in the lightest breeze of autumn, his hands pulling Harry closer to him to kiss him and enjoy the ecstasy of knowing what it meant to be in love and kiss in your balcony. They let their worries runaway as they dwelled in the secrecy of the moment. After all these are the moment they have all to themselves.
" we look good when we kiss " Draco chuckled as he picked the newspaper after kissing, Harry wrapping his arms around Draco's front.
" we do " Harry chuckled. Draco pressed a tender kiss on Harry's forehead before they went inside to have the perfect breakfast in bed.
And yes coming out was the hardest thing to do and much harder was bearing the consequences but then their relationship was like the song of the phoenix, beautiful and just their own and the world could possibly get used to it for as long as they were together, till the end of the time.

18. Game for losers
Prompt used- squishing others cheeks| fluff | Draco squishes Harry's face everytime he swears |
" the creation of sentient is first and foremost not a creation, it is a sentient within itself. To feel is to -"
" if I hear this man talk anymore I would extract my fucking eyes out " Harry Whispered to Ron
" I don't know Harry, I don't understand a shit he says " he whispered back leaning over the table listening to the professor going on and on about God knows what.
" do you think it can make us fucking sleep ?" Harry asked
" of course Harry, I've probably dozed off like 3 times till now and it's Only been 20 minutes " Ron whispered
" I wanna fucking get out-"
" then sure do and stop disturbing who actually want to listen potter " Draco spat from the seat behind Harry
" as If you're actually fucking listening ?" Harry rolled his eyes
" yes I am actually fucking listening but all I can hear is about your dumb brain not being able to process the words and swearing " Draco whispered harshly. Rolling his eyes harry turned around and tried not to fall asleep like Ron had. Why they had to take Muggle studies in 8th year they didn't understand, the only problem with Muggle studies was every Friday they had to sit through psychology classes and as much as Harry expected he'd like it, it was all Just about huge words that bored him.
However eliciting a reaction out of Draco seemed like a fun thing to do for the rest of the class and he so did. He scratched his quill too hard on paper for one, kept kicking Draco beneath the chair, leaning back over the chair and other such things and harry was amused, Draco wasn't, of course.
" you really hate the class don't you ?" Draco asked as soon as Harry got out of the class
" well mind you, I beyond fuckin hate that fucking class. It's fucking ridiculous and annoying-"
" do you always swear this much ?" Draco cut him off narrowing his eyes at harry.
" well - yeah maybe I do, why do you fucking care ?" Harry furrowed his eyebrows asking.
Draco frowned, not answering and walking away.
" can't believe you still want to give the git another chance " Ron mumbled as he pushed Harry to walk forward
" he's apologized Ron, to everyone and everyone deserves a second chance. Besides he was the one who first came forward and I'm sure it was a lot for his over inflated big as a fucking balloon. So I don't see why not " Harry shrugged off. Ron didn't really question it since it was actually true. Harry and Draco still weren't on the best terms but well they were making progress and it was something.
It was only a month after when Harry and Draco started seeing eye to eye on things, and of course as Harry didn't actually listen in those Muggle studies lessons, instead of going for help to Hermione, he went with Draco, it was surprising how easily he explained things.
" so basically instead of bottling up my feelings I should let them fucking out for everyone to listen to it, it's fucking ridiculous" Harry yawned as Draco took down some notes
" believe me potter it helps " he didn't look at harry
" as if you fucking do this, if anything you're the most closed down person I've ever fuckin seen " Harry leaned over the table watching Draco
" I'm not closed down potter, I'm merely preservative " Draco replied still not looking at him.
" preservative, just another word for being fucking closed down " Harry said in boredom
" it is self preservation to not let anyone else see more of what you want them to see " Draco sighed pushing his quill away since Harry definitely wasn't going to stop talking
" you're just like that old toad, just big fucking words " he rolled his eyes.
Draco blinked then continued speaking " whatever you want to believe potter and for Merlin's sake stop swearing in every sentence "
" why ? It bothers you?" Harry smirked
" it doesn't bother me, it's more of you showing how insufferable you are with little to zero amount of decency " Draco huffed
" so it does fucking bother you " Harry nudged Draco
" it does not potter " Draco rolled his eyes
" yes it fuckin does, it's all over your fuckin face " Harry grinned
" it's not all over my face and stop Swearing potter " Draco rolled off his eyes and began continuing his work again.
" it is bothering. It is bothering you so much that you'd actually want to rip my fucking throat off " Harry pushed himself right in front of Draco's face to block him from working.
" it doesn't bother me potter and move " Draco huffed in annoyance.
" it is bothering you, just fuckin admit oittt-" Draco squished Harry's cheeks stopping him from going on.
" stop swearing for merlins sake potter " Draco harshly Whispered not letting go of his face.
" jusht fuckhing adhmit ith Dracho" Harry spoke with much difficulty.
" i will admit if you stop swearing and let me work " Draco suggested almost smiling lightly because of how adorable Harry actually looked right now.
" fine "
" alright yes it bothers me okay " Draco let go of Harry's face, chuckling.
" it hurt " Harry rolled his eyes rubbing off his cheeks
" as if potter, you've been through much worse. Now shut up and let me work" Draco gave him a small smile and resumed working.
" you're just like Hermione, much fun though. Anddd I'm not gonna stop Swearing so fuck you -" and harry ran out of the library. Pinching the bridge of his nose Draco found it hard to control his small laughter erupting because of Harry's childish behaviour. He had to admit, Harry was in fact cute.
And as time went Draco got more annoyed by Harry's swearing and it led to Draco squishing his cheeks more often, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. Harry really wasn't trying to stop himself from swearing anyways, as if he actually wanted Draco to squish his face. Draco truly didn't mind anymore. As it became a routine, their friend's took notice of the peculiar friendship and often asked in secrecy if there were feelings involved, maybe it was self preservation because none of them gave a definite answer, ever.
Rituals and routine after routine followed in the course of attachment with each other with Harry and Draco, it was endearing that they had something entirely completely of their own but it was 5 months and neither of them had made a move, either they were unaware of the other person liking them which seemed like a much lesser option or they simply waited for the other one to make a move first, which seemed likely. Harry was becoming impatient day by day by Draco's ignorance to make a move first but harry being a child he was didn't wanted to make a move either, so he faked he had a date.
" who again are you going out with ?" Draco asked much less interested in Harry's over excited revelation about his fake date, he didn't need to know that though.
" would it make a difference if I told you ?" Harry nudged but Draco didn't utter a response
" not really. It's upto you if you don't want to tell. I can't care much " Draco did seem uninterested in listening to harry, which obviously bothered him but didn't indicate it.
" then I won't fucking tell you " and this time Draco didn't squish his cheeks.
" seems fair. Enjoy your date. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go and return these books " Draco gave him a stern smile and picked his thing's and left. Huffing in annoyance, Harry banged his head against the table repeatedly.
Not eliciting a reaction out of Draco bothered him more than he thought it would, but now it was more of a challenge than anything else and harry wasn't going to give up. So he decided to actually go out on a date as pretend, Blaise zabini. It seemed the perfect option since Blaise was friend's with Draco and playfully flirted with Harry a lot.
But still no Fucking reaction. Harry almost wanted to confront Draco but the child in him definitely wasn't having it. He spent so much time trying to make Draco jealous " but that insufferable git isn't even fucking jealous " Harry huffed in announce.
" maybe he doesn't like you then ?" Blaise suggested
Harry rolled his eyes " you seriously believe that. That guy does my homework in advance and then explain it to me, you really think he doesn't like me. Come on you know him "
" he does seem to be going all the way for you" Blaise sarcastically replied and just then he saw Draco coming in his direction, with books in his hands. Seriously, Harry thought.
And just then it struck Harry, Draco didn't believe Harry and Blaise were real.
" come on, hold my hand " harry Whispered to Blaise
" what ?" Blaise stopped dead in his track's but Draco was coming closer.
" just fucking, kiss me " Harry huffed pushing Blaise against the wall
" I'm not fuckin kissing you, you idiot " Blaise harshly Whispered.
" okay then just fucking Whisper something in my ear, just do it Blaise. He's almost here " Harry Whispered yelled. Rolling his eyes Blaise leant down to Whisper something in Harry's ear and despite of what he whispered Harry deliberately grinned and giggled and Draco saw it. He stopped for a moment at the scene then collected himself and walked off, his hands clenched to his side's.
" you're a fucking Moron too Blaise but this worked. Thanks " Harry said and followed Draco from a distance.
When Draco walked out of the library, Harry was waiting outside for him smirking.
" I suppose, Blaise stopped snogging you in the middle of the corridor " Draco rolled his eyes.
" oh yes he did. Quite a good kisser he is " Harry smirked.
Rolling his eyes Draco almost walked off but harry followed him " he's great you know. And his lips works marve-"
" shut up " Draco squished Harry's cheeks , again.
" what ?" Harry innocently asked
" I don't want to listen about Blaise snogging you " Draco rolled off his eyes
" but we're best friends and I want to tell about the new guy I'm going out with " Harry said
" well I don't want to listen " Draco harshly said not letting go of Harry's face yet.
" why ?" Harry asked
" i- my choice " Draco rambled
" no you're fuckin lying" Harry replied, Draco squishing a bit harder, just enough to not make it hurt but to make him stop swearing
" how many times do I have to tell you, stop Swearing ?"
" go out with me and I'll stop " Harry suggested
Draco looked at harry for a moment before rolling his eyes " meet me outside the Great hall at 8" and he dropped Harry's face and walked away, smiling to himself.
" you lost " Harry chuckled from behind him. But he didn't care. Neither of them cared. they were finally going out on a date, after so long, why should they.
And when Draco snogged Harry in the forbidden forest on the date, he snogged the lights out of Harry. They were never going to be the same and they loved it.

20. Safe with me
Prompt used - bandaging/ stitching other's injuries | WARNING- ABUSIVE, NON CONSENTED IMPLIED RELATIONSHIP |
" fuck- Tom- fuck no stop, stop please- red-red-Tom please " Draco cried out in genuine pain but his abusive boyfriend didn't care anymore, he just kept choking Draco while thursting in him repeatedly. Despite his desperate cries for him to stop, he didn't and when he did Draco wasn't more than a broken man. Tom didn't even care to check up on Draco and immediately fell asleep tired and drunk. Draco picked up his clothes from the ground, controlling his whimpers and entered the bathroom. It had to stop, it was so toxic for him but Tom kept pushing Draco back into the relationship, he didn't even had an out anymore and the worst,Draco now was afraid of Tom. He looked himself in mirror covered in tears, his body hurting and faint red marks over his neck from all the choking. He hated the man he saw in the mirror so much, so fragile, so vulnerable, so weak but more so the man who was doing this to him and like every night, Draco cried himself in the bathroom before casting a healing spell over himself and slept on the couch wondering if this would ever stop.
The next morning, Tom left the house without a word, Draco was happy if anything but he still felt so weak that he thought if he ate anything, he'd throw up. He picked up his things soon enough and left for work.
Draco was taking down notes about the new potion and it's precautions when he heard a knock .
" come in " he weakly Whispered not looking up from his paper.
" Draco I need to know if these potions discovered can have a side effect or could be manipulated, can you do that ?" Harry asked as he showed him the file.
" yea- I think it'll take some time but I'll let you know " Draco gave him a small smile taking the file and keeping it over the stack of the files.
Draco immediately subconsciously flinched on feelings Harry's hand lingering over his shoulder " hey, it's alright "
" yeah- I just got scared for a moment. It's dark in here you know " Draco lied clearing his throat. Harry frowned looking at Draco.
" hey would you Stand up for a moment ?" Harry firmly asked. Confused Draco did stand up in front of Harry. He soon discovered Harry was carefully examining his neck. His urge to immediately cover came upon him but Harry pushed his hand away.
" I thought you told him to stop doing this to you " Harry harshly Whispered, almost red from the instant anger.
" everything is fine Harry " Draco sighed. Harry immediately locked the door to get them some privacy and for safety so nobody else heard them.
" it doesn't look like it's fine draco !! These are choking marks, and not just any choking marks, these are brutal. I thought you had told him off " Harry bellowed
" I said everything is fine- you have nothing to worry about " Draco Choked back on his words
" this is not fine. He's using you Draco. W- why are you even letting him do this ? " Harry airily pointed his neck in frustration
" I'm not letting him do this okay, it's natural to him. He's working on it alright. He is-"
" is he really ? You can barely even stand properly Draco. You have to get out of this relationship, this is simply just abusive. That man is Abusing you-"
" and I'm aware of it but it's not as easy as it seems okay. You have no fucking idea what happens with us so stay the fuck out of my relationship " Draco yelled pushing Harry slightly by his chest
Frustrated Harry without a word left the room. Draco sighed, harsh breaths leaving his lips in attempts to not break down while he was at work but it was so hard considering he had just fought Harry. He was the only one slightly aware of Draco's situation. They were once invited to a party of the ministry and despite Tom's refusal Draco had dragged him in but the entire night Draco regretted it because Tom kept hurting him. It was only then Harry had once noticed the way Draco had flinched when Tom had almost raised his hands but stopped himself midway, being in public. Asking a bunch of questions next day, Harry realised whatever relationship Draco was in, was not safe but Draco had turned down Harry to do anything about it and Lying that he'd talk to him about it. It was beyond fixable and the only way Tom would possibly leave Draco was if he was murdered or simply became less interested, but that never really happened.
It was almost the last hour of work when he heard huge rustling from outside and he got up to check what had happened. He walked through the hallway fighting the crowd to find Hermione talking with Harry, yelling at more like but he wasn't having it and immediately slammed the door on her face. Frowning Draco approached Hermione
" what happened ?"
Her eyes softened immediately giving him a small smile " I'm mad at him for fighting for the right reason but the wrong way. I think he'd like to see you "
Confused Draco entered Harry's much bigger office compared to his own " Harry ?"
Harry appeared out of thin air, dabbing cloth to his lip. Draco's eyes widened at the looks of Harry, his hands were covered in blood and his nose was bleeding.
" this time it isn't you but because of you though" Harry pointed his nose. Closing the distance between them Draco took the cloth from Harry and pushed him down over the chair.
" you're lucky this time then " Draco gave him a small smile and leaned Harry's head on the chair and pressed the cloth lightly over Harry's nose to wipe off the blood.
" trust me, this wasn't easy either. Big fist " Harry chuckled letting Draco take control over him.
" who did you even fight ?" He asked as he now pressed the cloth over Harry's lips, gently.
Harry stared at Draco for a moment as if he was considering to just lie but chose not to and revealed the truth " Tom "
Draco stopped for a moment, anger instantly raging Inside him " didn't I tell you not to interfere ? What have you done Harry !! You have absolutely no idea what he'd do now " Draco closes his eyes imagining the treatment he'd receive Because of Harry.
" I'm sorry but I can't just sit here and let that man abuse you into sex everyday just because he's your boyfriend. I maybe an asshole Draco but I care for you more than you can imagine and if anything you should be thanking me, he's getting in prison for sexual assault " Harry rolled his eyes trying to get back up from the chair only to be pushed back down by draco.
Draco must've looked at harry for more than a few minutes until he had finally processed the situation.
" how d- did you ?" Draco whispered
" let's just say I have contacts " Harry sighed.
" listen Draco you can be mad at me all you want for his but one day you'd be glad I did it. I knew you needed help but-"
" thank you " Draco whispered looking behind Harry
" what ?" Harry asked leaning forward, confused if he had heard properly
" t- thank you Harry " Draco immediately wrapped his arms around Harry and let his tears finally flow. Hesitantly Harry wrapped his arms around Draco, tighter by each second, whispering soft and comforting words and letting him dampen his white shirt with tears.
It seemed like ages till Draco stopped weeping in Harry's arms and got back on his feets again.
" let's get you home " Draco said wiping off his face with the back of his hand . Nodding Harry and Draco, collected their things and left the office earlier than usual. Nobody seemed to mind.
They Landed up in Harry's place and without wasting time Draco had dragged Harry into his bathroom, searching for medical kit.
" Draco- I- I don't think it's the right time to say it but you will have to testify" Harry said as he leaned against the sink while Draco started wetting the towels.
Draco must've looked scared, horrified for a moment Because Harry immediately grabbed his hands and bought him closer
" it's fine. I'll be with you. He wouldn't do anything. They all trust you already Draco. You just need to say the truth "
Draco left a harsh breath, thinking about the consequences and the failure's of the plan until he looked up at harry and his worries evaporated second by second. He was here, Harry was here with him now.
" okay " he whispered and put the damped towels over Harry's wounds. He didn't need to ask to know what happened, Tom was an abusive man and he would had definitely tried to over power Harry at some point but Draco knew Harry was much more stronger than him, emotionally and physically.
Minute by minute Draco wiped away all of his injuries and started bandaging them while harry simply there over the sink, looking at Draco. Once the last bandage was done, Harry finally spoke up " you are fine with all of this right? You don't feel - well insulted or violated do you ?"
Draco analysed Harry's concerned expression's for a moment's before he sighed and let out his worries" I'm worried about everything now Harry. I'm afraid if he doesn't end up there and finally come back again and try to you know tor-"
" he wouldn't come back , I promise you " Harry told him clutching Draco's shoulders in a light grasp
" b- but- I'm still afraid if anything goes wrong -"
" you're right to worry but I mean it Draco. Even if he doesn't end up there , I swear to protect you from him no matter what the consequences might be " Harry promised Making Draco look him in the eye as a sort of committment.
It took forever for Draco to finally speak the words on his mind, thinking if he said the words out loud, it would change but they didn't " I believe you then "
Harry gave him a small smile and engulfed him in a small hug and let him hug him until he was sure Draco felt safer in his arms.
" you're safe with me Draco "
" I know " yet he didn't leave him.

" I think your husband is as equally lucky " Draco smiled. Lingering in the moment for a smile, Harry walked back off to his office with a little grin.
When the day came to an end, harry was busy stacking things up over his desk and drawers when he heard a little knock on the door and saw Draco leaning over the door.
" 2 minutes " he smiled. Harry looked up at the watch on the wall before he walked towards Draco and dragged him inside.
" 1 minute "
" 10 seconds "
" 2 seconds "
And then Harry pulled him closer, closing the door behind him and kissing him over the lips.
" I missed you " Harry mumbled against his lips
" you saw me an unusually lot Harry" Draco smiled not moving an inch apart
" well I missed my husband " Harry said as he gave him a chaste kiss again to show how true his words were
" in that case, I missed my husband too but I think I like professor potter better, he's got a- well nice ass " Draco chuckled creating a little space to grab Harry's ass just a little
" lucky for you, we're both the same people or you would've been a dead man " Harry chuckled intertwining their finger's together
" like the mass murder in the bathroom this morning ?" Draco laughed . Joining along in the laughter, Harry nodded.
" come home after 15 minutes, get dressed and follow little white notes okay. See you soon babe " he spoke so fast that Harry barely understood a word but he left faster than he had spoken leaving Harry excited and confused.
Just like Draco had said, Harry returned home 15 minutes later, freshened up, got dressed and finally started finding little white notes. The first one he found quite easily right over the mirror.
" find me where you know I hate those little rings "
Harry thought for a moment, wondering about wherever he hated the rings but Draco loved them. And suddenly just then his eyes fell upon the glass of water, a coaster beneath it. The ring Draco hated, water rings. He immediately ran out to the living room and looking over the coffee table.
" found it " Harry Whispered to himself picking the little white note from beneath the coaster. He went one after another notes, taking his time to solve the riddle and swearing Draco for the most part for doing something like that.
He finally reached the last note reading it only one and figuring it immediately
" meet me where the green had never looked so good and the storm had never raged "
Painting Harry reached the Richmond hill, London, a patronus waiting for him right there. He followed the little light, leading to Draco who was staring over the hill enjoying the view. He must've crushed a stick Because immediately turned around
" damn you're slow" Draco chuckled as he saw Harry
" hey I got confused with the 2nd and 3rd one, I figured the last one pretty easily, also 6 years into relationship you should know that I'm shit at riddles " Harry told
Shaking his head with a little smile Draco continued " you remembered ?"
Harry furrowed his brows with a little surprised smile " what? You thought if it were the 4th date, I wouldn't remember it! The green never looked so good and the storm had never raged? It was the easiest one, I remember everything draco. You told me that night that green-"
" is your favourite colour because of my eyes-"
" is my favourite colour because of your eyes" they said simultaneously. Smiling at the verbal connection Harry enclosed the distance between them.
" your eyes still just as beautiful as they were that day " Harry Whispered smiling.
" they still vary colour everyday " Harry added
" well If you could only see you from my eyes. You'd understand why it does it everyday " Draco smiled putting his arms Around Harry's waist, fondly looking in Harry's eyes which glowed with little yellow freckles because of the reflection of the lights Draco had decorated the place with.
" thought you said it's a pureblood thing ?" Harry frowned putting his arms around Draco's neck
" it is. But it varies colours because each day I look at you in a different way than I have before. One for each day I have loved you so long " Draco smiled. With a flick of his wrist, Draco turned on the slow music, I'm yours by Jason marz playing slowly over the radio.
Harry was left speechless, finding it hard to describe in words how much more he loved Draco but he suspected that even if Harry's eyes didn't change colour each day, Draco knew that Harry loved him in ways he'd never loved anyone else and probably would never love anyone else more. Smiling Harry put his head over his shoulders and started swaying. lightly to the music.
" I remember this song playing from the car parked not far from here " Harry Whispered
" I think it suits well for both of us" Draco mumbled tightening his grip around Harry's waist.
Harry smiled knowing Draco was smiling just like he was. 6 years of being together yet they loved each other just like they had loved one another when they first confessed their I love you's, the same way when Harry was away for the first Christmas, the same way when Draco was banished from malfoy family, the same way when Harry was away for a mission for 2 months, the same way when they loved each other during and after the first fight, the same way they had felt on the day of marriage and had promised to love everyday till death part them. In a way just like million others this song was also Just their own and they found it quite nice to having been a part of something they chose to belong to even if it also belonged to the rest of the world. In trillions of moments, the song by Fate had played in that moment but they were 2 simple boys having no choice bought together by fate, and had they never regretted it.
And for the second time in the entire life they spent together, in the moments of revelation, the song played for the second time
" and the world said we'd never make it through " Draco smiled staring up at the sky at the stars, Harry's head over his shoulders, his face nuzzled in Draco's neck, cuddling comfortably.
Harry hummed in response, his arms hung loosely around Draco's body. It was not long after when Draco heard Harry's light snoring. Smiling to himself, Draco retrieved the blanket, covered both of them us and slept peacefully, just like he did for the rest of his life for he never loved anyone like he did Harry, he didn't had to. He was enough; more than enough if so.
Requests open
Day 21- little jars of love | Day 23- ten times Harry fell for Draco
27. Harry's dance partner
Prompt used- pulling the other one towards them | Harry and Draco take Dance lessons for the famous ball| this took me almost 3 hours, it's pretty long | thanks for all the love |
" honey, i know this invitation is important but my training right now is more important, i hope you understand harry. Please do take these lessons though, you really do suck. I'll try to come up " and with that ginny flooed for her practices,
" well i guess, i'll be on my own then " harry mumbled to himself as he dropped the leaflet on thr counter of the kitchen.
But harry was more afraid to go alone than doing the dance itself, the fact that he'd have to position his hand in the invisible air or dance with somebody else scared him, even if it actually wasn't scary at all. He could've asked ron to come with but with hermioone being his fiance now, he knew ron was much less likely to fuck up. That left him standing in front of the muggle dance studio, alone.
" um, excuse me i signed up lessons under the name of harry potter and ginny weasley, unfortunately my partner can't come, so i was wondering if you could cancel my registrations ' harry asked the boy sitting behind the counter
" may i ask why ?" the boy grinned
" there's some personal complications " harry replied fidgeting his fingers over his jacket's zipper.
" well, if that's the case . I can cancel the registrations-"
" thank you -"
" - but you won't be refunded " the boy added
" oh "
" do you still want me to cancel ?" the boy asked. Harry pondered on for a moment
" these are not that bad you know and there's plenty of available dance partners " the boy said as he read harry's face
" well- if thats- fine i'll do these classes " harry sighed giving up, not that he had much to do at weekends at home.
" well there you go then, that would be room 3 "the boy grinned. Harry exhaled before he made his way towards room no. 3 and softly opened it to see a bunch of people standing in couple and some talking in groups.
Harry oozed his way into the room and kept his jacket on the open shelf in the back of the room and rubbed his palms together in sheer nervousness.
" nervous ?" suddenly someone asked
" uh- yeah a little " harry replied to the girl who was keeping her bag in the shelf
" first timer ?" she asked with a smile
" yeah " harry answered, maybe he could ask her to be his partner but he obviously didn't wanted to seem too eager.
" it can be a little overwhelming at first but you'll settle in fine " she grinned
" i hope so "
" so who's your partner then ?" she asked placing her hands over her hips
" actually- " but he was cut off by the door opening and who seemed like an instructor walked in,
"alright everyone, i'm sarah and there's nothing more you need to know. lets begin with warm ups then " harry raised an eyebrow before he followed her command and repeated everything that everyone else did. It was a bit troublesome at first but once he got the hang of what everyone else was doing, his nervousness seemed to diminish, only until sarah spoke up again.
" okay, everyone line with partners now and we'll begin where we left off last time " sarah said in her normal raspy voice and everyone lined up except harry. He by now simply wanted to die out of second hand embarrassment as his cheeks tint up with a pink shade
And just then as if somebody controlling him from up above wasn't ready for him to die just yet made the door jerk open
" shit- sorry, i'm late " the guy almost tripped over his own shoe lace before he stumbled back to see everyone staring at him. Unfortunately because of crowding harry couldn't see who it was until the crowd had cleared up a bit and the guy walked to the back of the class.
" draco ?" harry gasped as soon as he laid his eyes upon the boy.
The guy seemed to hear harry's voice and immediately his eyes followed the propagation of sound, it was indeed him.
" enough, back to class " sarah rolled her eyes at everyone and the everybody hustled back into their positions.
" what are you doing here ?" draco whispered as he settled his jacket and shoes on the shelf in the back.
" training for ballet " harry rolled his eyes. Draco almost laughed out loud if it wasn't for harry nudging him not to.
" you two in the back, enough chit chat, partner up " sarah shouted at them. They both stared at her as if not believing with what she had said but if glares could kill, they'd be dead and they hustled together in strange union,
" now try to hear the rhythm of the song, the beats, the harmonies and let it flow in you. Let it take over your body, your soul, let it dance. Dance isn't just something you can do like cooking, its an art, if done wrong, would be a disaster, but if done right it'd be like van gogh's painting " sarah said as she moved through the class
" van who ?" draco whispered to harry
" van gogh, he was a really famous muggle artist " harry whispered back
They soon got carried into listening to sarah and everything was fine until they actually had to take positions
" i'm not going to be the follower " draco harshly whispered to harry
" well i am not going to be the follower either, you be it " harry whispered back.
" why should i be the follower ?" draco asked agressively whispering
" why should i ?" harry asked in the same tone as draco's
" would you two shut up, you tall one, be the lead and you be the follower " sarah ordered as she passed by them. Draco teased harry by sticking his tongue out to him. Rolling his eyes harry and him adjusted into the position, harry's hand resting over draco's waist and draco's hand resting over harry's shoulder and waist.
And as the song started playing, they fell into a pattern of harry stepping over draco's feets, draco harshly stumbling over harry and swearing at each other for being stupid.
" we must be looking daft " harry sighed as he carefully watched his feet
" ow, look up you idiot " draco bashed as Harry's head hit his chin
" well i can't look up and not step on your feet at the same time " harry mumbled
closing his eyes for a moment, draco sighed "okay, just look up at me, alright. We just need better coordination, that's all. You just keep looking up but be careful of how far your feets are from mine, just - well - just loosen up, you're too tensed "
harry blinked at draco " how do you know this ?"
" i've been taking these for a week now " draco truthfully said.
" so should i assume i'd see you at the ball ?" harry asked
" probably " draco hesistated
" why isn't your partner with you ?' draco asked before harry could reply
" yeah- ginny had to go for practices " harry replied looking down at his feet to avoid eye contact
" what about you?" he asked
" i don't have a date for the ball yet but i'm hoping to find one soon " draco answered
" how have you been practicing then ?" harry asked curiously as he let his body move unconsciously
" well I had a partner from other class until she sprained herself 2 days ago, so " Draco shrugged.
" so this will be it for today. Great work everybody. Some of you still need to work a lot on coordination of your body work but with practice you'll all be fine. Off you go then. Bye bye " Sarah announced.
" she reminds me of Ms. McGonagall " Draco Whispered to harry.
Chuckling Harry nodded" she was a feared woman "
And soon everyone started to depart the class.
" hey,Draco wanna catch a cup of coffee ? I know the best barista here ?" Harry asked casually.
Draco frowned in confusion for a moment
" only if you want. No pressure. I need caffeine, this was a bit stressing and I've got a stuff to get back to to and coffee,-"
" sure harry " Draco cut him off smiling.
Harry bobbed his head forward and collected his things.
" never thought I'd actually meet Draco malfoy at a Muggle dance studio taking lessons " Harry teased as they walked out of the doors
" you tell this to someone else and I'll cut your dick off " Draco threatened friendly
" sure malfoy-"
" Draco" he corrected
Harry blinked at him, taking a moment to understand why he corrected " of course "
And then they headed for coffee.
Within the next few days it became a ritual, dance classes, teasing, coffee. It didn't even take them time to become friend's and forget why had they hated each other in the first place. Harry would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy being with Draco, he enjoyed it very much that he wanted to spend more of his time with him than anyone else. There was a strange understanding between them , a strange bond that felt as if they had known each other their whole life and it wasn't even surprising how easily they got along with each other.
And as time went on Ginny got more busy with practices and spent lesser time with Harry. In normal situation Harry would've hated how he felt to be left out but this time he had someone else to look forward to. For the first time he wasn't alone while Ginny was gone and he much appreciated it. He didn't felt as alone as he once had but it had resulted in huge amount of anxiety with different sort of insecurity, as though how he felt around Draco. He had never cheated on Ginny and he wouldn't do now but there was something with Draco,a spark that had long died with Ginny and him. But he assured himself everyday that It was just exciting to be with someone new after a long time.
And this assurance worked until one day when Ginny had returned from practices early and had agreed to go to the dance lesson with him.
" oh " Harry sounded disappointed
" I mean we paid for it, makes sense I should at least take one of the class " Ginny crossed her arms in front of her
" right- I hear you but I- I hurt myself " Harry suddenly said
" what ?" Ginny frowned
" I have a little twitch on my ankle from last practice. I didn't tell you Because I didn't wanted you to worry. I think it'd be better if we laid it off for today. We can go again someday " Harry said biting the inside of his cheeks
Ginny frowned at him until she sighed and dropped wanting to enquire him " well if it's bad, just tell me-"
" it's fine Ginny. Just a little twitch. Just don't wanna take risk. Know what, we should just rest today, watch a movie or something, order in tonight, how does that sound ?" Harry asked her eagerly
She sighed " well we both have been working off pretty hard the last few days and barely spent time together, so it doesn't seem such a bad idea "
" great, you select the movie, I'll get Blankets and something to eat " Harry kissed her cheek and immediately ran to the bedroom. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he pressed his back against the door and huffed, rubbing his hand over his face. He was disgusted In himself to know he had lied to Ginny when he could've easily asked her to come with, he didn't know why but he just did and he hated himself for lying to her. Not thinking much over it, Harry collected the blankets and stopped on his way to get things to eat and joined Ginny in the living room.
" you okay ?" He asked as he settled next to her. Broken out of her mind whirling thoughts, she grinned and nodded.
Halfway through the movie Harry knew what Ginny felt but he didn't say anything else. He didn't wanted to hurt her but had obliviously ended upon the path.
They didn't talk about anything but quidditch and his job until the day of the ball. Harry felt strange the whole day, as if the whole vibe was off, something was lingering heavily in the air but he was too afraid to ask anything. So they silently got ready and left for the ball.
The ball was extravagant with hundreds of witches and wizards, friends, families, children, everyone. It was a beautiful palace with light's hanging up in the air, elves on the door to welcome everyone, and beautiful entrance decorated with all sorts of flowers. It sure was a huge, expensive and friendly ball yet all harry felt was a strange feeling pulling him down that wasn't sadness.
" it's beautiful " Ginny said as they walked into the palace. Harry hummed in reply with a small smile.
Everything was nicely dealt with, people, food, speeches. The last thing was dance. And harry was scared to death about it. He hadn't danced with Ginny once and was sure to fuck it up and at this moment he only wished to meet the silver blonde head to seek assurance, to talk him through it.
" you seem lost Harry " Ginny finally said as they were stood against the bar.
" feel a little upset is all. You enjoying yourself ?" Harry asked
" yeah, the place is great. This dress however is extremely uncomfortable " Ginny rolled her eyes at her dress. Harry chuckled at his girlfriend's reaction, probably for the first time in a few days.
" shall we dance ?" Ginny asked soon after. Hesitantly, Harry nodded.
They stepped in the dance area with everyone else and bought themselves into position. Harry placed one of his hand over the small of her back and pulled her closer and other hand rested on her shoulder. Accordingly Ginny rested her hands over Harry.
And despite the fact that his beautiful, understanding, elegant girlfriend danced with him, his eyes only searched the room for his dance partner. He searched and searched until he felt Ginny place her head against Harry's chest.
" everything fine ?" He finally asked concerned.
She hummed in response but Harry knew better, she wasn't.
" Ginny, tell me " harry put his hand under her chin, forcing her to look upto him.
" do you love me Harry ?" Ginny finally asked as tears sparkled in her life eyes
" of course " Harry immediately replied
" no, Harry, do you really, really love me ? " Ginny asked again. Harry stared at her for a long moment, his movements dead. He wanted to tell her yes but his mouth had shut down, his brain had shut down, only his heart told him to follow the line of honesty.
" thought so " she said as she leaned again to hug him.
" is there someone else?" She whispered in his ear
" no, Gin, you know I'd never cheat on you. I'd never do that to you " Harry immediately replied.
" that's good to know " she sniffed against his shoulder. Harry shuddered a breath before he broke the hug and pulled her away from the crowd to the empty courtyard.
" I love you Ginny, I do -"
" just not the same way anymore?" She asked
Harry remained silent, did he ? He didn't know.
" do you still love me the same way Gin ?" Harry finally asked her.
And then they fell into silence, soft music pouring through their moment, the intensity of the melody changing with the way their conversation had taken a turn, the softness in the jazz with the deeper sound of piano, the song sounded softer.
" tell me ? Do you love me the same way you loved me when we first moved into the city or the same way you said you loved me on our first Christmas together or the first time you stayed over at my place ?" Harry asked her following his heart.
" I- Harry- the spark can't always stay alive " Ginny lightly protested
" is it so or this is just a way of consoling ourselves another year into thinking that we are meant to be together when you and I both know that we aren't " Harry softly said.
" so what, we just give up ?" Ginny snapped lightly. Harry's eyes softened and approached her further.
" do you think it's fair to both of us to tie ourselves into something like this ? Even if we continue on Ginny, you know where it'll end, I know you do. You saw it the day I lied to you. You know me better than anyone Ginny, you know you do, you just didn't-"
" wanted to believe it's true " Ginny huffed.
Harry took her hands in his own gently and kissed her knuckles
" it's not your fault alone, it's me too. Maybe if I hadn't been so busy with my DMLE investigations or if I had quit when I should've or if I had spent more time asking you what you like than telling you about my auror meetings, maybe we wouldn't had to face this day " Harry told her.
She looked at him longingly, knowing he was right " maybe if I hadn't spent so much time with my friends the field or in quidditch or talked more about us than matches, we'd had been fine " she sighed.
"so ?" Harry finally asked her after moments of steep silence.
" I can't believe we're ending this here, I mean out of all the nights, although a fancy place to break up " Ginny smirked. Harry chuckled.
He hugged her soothingly, kissing the top her head " I know Ginny, I know. We'll figure it out " Harry assured her. She hummed in the hug until finally she let go.
" I'll collect my things-"
" you keep the flat, I still have grimauld place. We don't have to deal with his right now. Let's just, maybe go and enjoy ourselves in there like friends " Harry told her.
" we would, if there wasn't Someone I know you have to meet. He's there " Ginny pointed behind him. Confused Harry followed her sight. Draco.
" how do you-"
" just like you said,I know you better than anyone else- I'll be fine. Go. I Want you to " Ginny assured him with a small smile.
" you sure you're fine?" Harry asked furrowing his eyebrows, concerned.
" trust me on day I'll be happy to have let you go. Now go, don't make him wait " Ginny smiled and pushed him back and started taking her steps back. Harry knew what she was doing but he knew Ginny, she wouldn't tell him how hurt she was, if it meant Harry could have something. And before Harry could've said anything else, she apparated away with a smile as if she had faded into the air.
Harry stood there watching the spot where she left off from as if he still hadn't processed what had happened but he had ultimately accept, Ginny was gone.
Harry finally turned around with a strange sadness, seeing Draco sitting there alone.
" where's your date ? " Harry asked as he walked over to Draco. It all seemed too fast, too fast yet everything so slow. Draco looked up to find Harry coming and sitting next to him .
" I never had a date in the first place " Draco truthfully replied.
" but you-"
" my dance partner was Astoria, she- she broke off with me during the first week of lesson's but I- well I was waiting one day she'd come back. The day I was late, I was actually not going to come but then I had came and met you and just like that you became a reason for me to attend those lessons. It all seems so fucked up, I mean I just had a break up few days before and then you, it all happened too fast but we-"
" we just clicked " Harry finished
" yeah" Draco agreed looking at him.
" you were waiting for her to show up tonight, weren't you ?" Harry asked
" yeah " Draco Answered as his lips pressed in a thin line.
" well " harry finally sighed after long moments of silence " we practiced the hell off with Sarah, we can't let that go to waste. So , Draco malfoy, dance with me " Harry said as he stood up and offered his hand
" but you- Ginny ?" Draco frowned
" we just broke up " Harry replied. Draco sympathetically stared at him until Harry jerked his hand forward for him to take and finally Draco did take it.
Taking the lead Draco pulled harry closer towards him until they were few inches apart.
" are we moving on too fast ?" Harry asked thoughtfully
" what if we're moving too slow ? Years late ?" Draco asked. Harry forced himself to look up at him, his body unconsciously dancing around Draco. That was the difference, he knew what he was doing with Ginny but right now, he seemed to flow into the music, he didn't need to know what he was doing, he Just knew.
" you've-?" But harry stopped
" people like us don't belong together Harry. I've liked you for ages but I had prepared myself ages ago for this to not happen but now that it is, I Don't-"
" don't want it to stop?" Harry asked
" yeah " Draco replied as he bored his eyes into that of Harry's.
Harry stared at him for longer than he thought he knew until they head heard fireworks go off, breaking them out of their trance.
" what now ?" Harry asked finally
" we finally be ourselves " Draco replied and another firework went off.
This is more platonic than romantic but I just needed somewhere Harry and Draco develops into something.
Requests open .
Day 26- after all this time, always the same |
Day 28- I'll catch you
29. Sweet, sexy and practically fainting
Prompt used- Tickling the other one | implied smut |
" okay stop being a damn beauty queen draco and step into the waters, nothing's going to bite you " pansy rolled her as she looked at Draco through her sunglasses over the bridge of her nose
"I love your determination to send me there but I'm good with sitting here and tanning myself. Besides look at the boys, they've gone absolutely wild " draco sighed as he leant down backward on the sheets, bathing in the sun.
" well I'll go in the waters " Hermione announced as she dropped her robes and walked ahead to the waters.
" see even she went and she's the most uptight women I know " pansy said as she too laid back on the floral sheets
" thought she wasn't so bad anymore " draco said with his eyes closed
" she's great but I'm just saying so you'd actually get up and go into the waters " pansy replied
" nice try pans " draco sighed.
" you guys aren't joining ?" A familiar voice asked besides them. Draco opened his eyes and leant on his elbows to see Harry now standing in front of them
" nah, I'm good being here " draco replied narrowing his eyes because of the sun. Pansy too nodded without looking up at harry.
" well if that's what you want " harry shrugged and started unbuttoning his shirt.
" Ron said waters great, I wouldn't miss it " harry grinned as he dropped his shirt on the sheets and walked away into the waters, letting draco watch him as he walked away.
" just go join him for fucks sake draco" pansy rolled her eyes
" why aren't you going?" Draco rolled his eyes at pansy. She took off her glasses and looked at Draco " because baby, queen never works in the crowd " and with that Draco broke into a fit of laughter.
" I'm sorry but queen " Draco mimicked her voice still cackling to death.
" what's so funny ?" Blaise asked as he started drying off himself.
" nothing, just his renowned self still laughing over an abysmal joke because of the inability of his brain to comprehend when to stop " pansy rolled her eyes
" do tell him pansy, I'm sure even his brain would stop comprehending when to stop " draco chuckled as his laugh started dying out. He glanced behind Blaise into the waters to watch harry rising out of the water, pushing his wet hair back.
" ahem " pansy cleared her Throat smirking at Draco knowingly.
" shut up " draco rolled his eyes at pansy, blushing lightly but he allowed himself to believe it was the sun. And he fell back into the sheets again.
They soon heard someone coming back, mumbling something on their way back something about not getting that thing in her hair. Draco looked up again to find Hermione and Ron joining them, drying off their bodies with towels.
" why aren't you coming ?" Suddenly harry asked appearing out of nowhere ruffling his hair to get rid of water
" eh, I like it here " draco expressed and tried to lay back but harry grabbed his wrist and practically threw him over his shoulder and carried into the waters.
" PUT ME DOWN POTTER " Draco bellowed trying to wiggle free from Harry's grasp
" oh- you want me to put you down-well-"
" don't you dare, harry- no- not the wate- augh " and draco was dropped into the waters as harry cackled looking down at Draco. He gave harry a scowl before he pulled him down too and tickled him.
" for- Merlin- I can't breathe " harry laughed as he fought for air
" yeah- should've thought about it before dropping me into the water " draco raised his eyebrows as he tickled harry further on his bare stomach.
" fuck- staph- I swear- draco please- " harry kicked the empty water almost dying out of laughter
" say you're sorry" draco commanded but harry shook his head until Draco tickled him harder all over his body making him beg draco to stop.
" fu- fuck- fine- sorry- won't-" and with that Draco took his hands off Harry's body. He rolled over in the water, Peeking his head out for air until he gave draco a sinister grin and pulled him under the water's again.
They spent the rest of their time on the beach laughing and rolling in the waters, splashing at each other and making fun of how their hair looked.
" you got Sand in my hair harry" draco groaned as they walked back to other who immediately stopped talking as soon as they came.
" what were you guys talking about ?" Harry asked as he picked up his towel and started drying off his hair.
" nothing, Just talking about tonight's party in the hotel " Blaise smirked. Draco frowned knowing exactly that he lied but Decided to not call him out just yet.
" what time is it ?" Draco asked as he too dried off his hair.
" I think around 8-ish. I might run a bit late, this maniac got Sand in my hair " harry rolled his eyes nudging draco.
" hey- you have a bird's nest. Do you even know how Long it would take for me to get rid of this beach smell alone, let alone the sand " draco rolled his eyes as he casually playfully hit harry over his arms.
" well I was just making you have some fun and you can't deny- you had fun " harry teased
" I was just glad a sea urchin didn't bite me " draco rolled his eyes
" keep covering it all up- anyways- I'm gonna go run back to hotel to get something to eat then meet you all at the party, how does it sound ?"
" sounds good to me " draco frowned. They all nodded at harry, Ron and harry deciding to go with him.
" harry, wait " draco stopped harry
" what ?"
" nothing- you just got a leaf in your hair " draco pulled out a leaf from the back of Harry's head and showing it to him. Harry gave him a sweet smile before thanking him and left.
As soon as harry had left the first thing he heard was laughter, from his friends.
" could you crush anymore over him ?" Blaise laughed
" whatever " draco rolled his eyes blushing and collected his stuff " both of you, die in hell " he pointed at his friends who were mimicking draco and harry and making kissing noises. Scowling draco left the presence of his friends. They were assholes, even if they were right.
After draco had finally taken a long shower and eaten something, he got dressed in his red floral shirt after much retaliation and black pants, he left for the party by 9.
He immediately grew morbid at the amount of people were at the party but this trip was supposed to be for having fun, take a few days away from their work life and so draco made himself adjust to the party and soon enough found his friends chatting by the bar.
" ooh is the Slytherin in red for the gryffindor who took away his heart " pansy teased
" seriously grow up, I wore it because I liked it" draco sighed
" I believe you honey- a glass of champagne and sex on the beach and a gin for the boy " Pansy told the guy behind the counter who nodded immediately and prepared the drinks
" but I don't wanna drink-"
" think you would If you'd see that " pansy pointed to the centre of the dance floor. At first draco didn't notice anything unusual until he saw harry, and not just harry, harry talking with someone, no laughing with someone. A silent jealousy fueled inside draco.
" I don't care- he's at perfect liberty to dance with whoever he wants- as long as I care- that guy's too tall for him " draco turned around and sat down facing the bartender.
" if that's the case then- hi harry " pansy immediately squealed.
" you won't believe, that guy is literally just so perfect for me pansy- thank you so much for setting me up with him- gosh- thanks for the drink " harry excitedly informed, took draco's gin, straight up drank it and left.
" you- you've got to be kidding me- you set him up " draco clenched his jaw at pansy
" don't worry. I know exactly what I've done. Have your drink draco " and with that they spent the larger part of the evening drinking, despite draco's initial rejection, he was drinking awful lot that he had lost the count.
" draco- alright that's enough- drinking won't make it go away " pansy sighed as he pushed away draco's drinks.
" what's up with him? Draco you fine ?" Harry asked as he returned for the fifth time now.
" oh- I'm absolutely smashed it's feels great- have fun with Georgi " draco slurred giving him a lopsided smile
" well it's Joe "
" right- Joe- have fun " draco smacked his hands against the counter.
" woah- "
" I'll take care of him Potter- you go " pansy sighed
" you- you knew and you set him up- why ?" Draco whined almost losing his balance on the stool.
" I- lemon please- I didn't set him up that way alright- you've got nothing to worry about " pansy told him
" nothing to worry about ? He's dancing with another man - " hiccup " how could you ?"
" draco- control yourself- here drink this " pansy pushed a drink at Draco. He looked at the drink wryly before bottomed up and let it have a tingling effect on him.
" better ?" Pansy asked. Draco burped internally before nodding. Feeling a little sober, draco turned to look at harry dancing with Joe again making something clench inside him.
" I have to go-" draco suddenly jumped off the stool
" go where ?" Pansy asked worrisome
" harry. If I don't go now, I will never "
" but-" but he had already made his way into the dance floor and towards harry. He sharply walked towards harry, not thinking even for the slightest what he'd do when he faces him but all he knew he needed to go to harry. He needed to.
And so when he reached harry with Pansy yelling behind him to stop, he grabbed his wrist and turned him around.
" draco- " but Harry's words were caught in his tongue when Draco pressed his lips against harry's and let it devour the taste of gin on Harry's lips. He pulled away as in asking for if harry wanted to step away but everything was happening too fast that harry didn't had time to refuse and pressed his lips against draco's. If jealousy made draco kiss him so phenomenally then harry wanted him to do this everyday because in that one kiss, that one sexy, mouth devouring, passionate kissing, draco hadn't missed an opportunity to make Joe cringe and leave.
" wo- jeez, just inform the next time before you do this " harry smirked against draco's lips, his hands in draco's hair.
" well there wasn't much time but I inform you now " and with that Draco kissed him again with the same passion just more lust as if it was the end of the World and if Draco didn't kiss him how, he never will. In the hot steamy crowd, draco pressed his body more against harry, his hands roaming Harry's chest, making harry moan when Draco lightly brushed over one of Harry's nipples.
" fuck- draco- let's go to the room " harry sighed against draco and immediately grabbed his wrists and lead the way towards his room, but it was more makeout than steps taken. They had to stop at each floor to kiss as if it was an appreciation for reaching this far without pounding on each other.
When they finally reached Harry's room, they wasted no time in making the make out session more cardinal with lust and intensely passionate. The room filled moans as harry pressed draco against the door, feeling draco's boner pressed against harry's thighs. Without thinking, draco started fumbling with the buttons on Harry's shirt until he stopped him.
" you're drunk draco" harry said, a sudden guilt washed over him and he stepped away " fuck- you're drunk- we can't " harry pushed his hair out of his face.
" so what ?" Draco whined closing the distance between them once again to kiss him again but harry stopped him.
" Merlin- draco I've waited long enough for this- but this isn't how I want it to be- I want to take you, need you, god do things to you but not this way"
" then take me harry, I'm all yours" draco whined. Harry chuckled, pressing a soft kiss against draco's forehead.
" say this in the morning and then I promise I'll take you just how you want me to " harry whispered smiling. Draco sighed but didn't bring it up again and soon enough draco fell asleep in Harry's bed.
And as said, the next morning draco woke up and as promised harry had him exactly the way Draco wanted, sweet, sexy and practically fainting.

Sorry if this seemed fast
Day 28- I'll catch you | Day 30 - scared, potter ?
30. Scared, potter ?
Prompt used- Grabbing onto their arm | FLUFF | Draco finally reveals how he fell in love with harry | can't believe I've already reached 30 days with these prompts.
Laughter cackled into the room with people draco had enormously grown to love. It's weird how fast time flies when you are surrounded by people who care about you regardless of how many shit days you may have and draco was a happy victim of it. All his life he had never cared for anyone else, treated them as if they were nothing untill he himself felt like one of those people, what it felt like to be nothing and he hated every second of it and when finally life gave him a second chance by a simple act of fate, he rose out the person who was completely opposite of who he used to be and he was proud of it and more proud were the people who once had hated him. It was a miracle how draco was sat amongst these people now, but he could not be more happier to reach where he is today and everyone he have right now. 5 years of learning, progress, trying to clear his name, he had finally became the person he wanted to be and love, it was just a small Miracle that happened by his side, so unpredictable but exactly what he needed and if there was one person who struck through it all was none other than, harry james Potter. His so called arch nemesis.
He met harry by a very simple mistake actually. One day he was serving coffee in a muggle coffee shop to pay his rent and the next day he knew he had almost been fired for spilling coffee over someone, and obviously that someone had to be harry. They got to talking about how different lives were, how difficult and yet they had the most complex similarities. It took harry exactly 9 months and 3 days during draco's final trials to get a job for him in the auror office, claiming if they didn't take him it would one of the most stupid choice they'd ever make because they'd lose a brilliant mind. Draco's first instincts were obviously disliking harry for doing something like that for him and maintained distance as much as he could but showed his gratitude in different ways like anonymously sending harry his favourite deserts every Friday and cup of coffee every morning. It wasn't until they both had been paired up for a mission related to a death Eater that they collided once again. According to the recruiters, it was important they had someone who was familiar with the death Eater ways, draco and a person they feared the most who vanquished the dark lord, harry. One scene to another, the tension building up one day led them into fighting and eventually resulted in them not talking until during the end of the mission when Draco got fatal injury, not because of the case but because of a muggle driver basically hitting draco. Eventually harry had to assign the mission to officials under him and draco being on bed rest, since it was a muggle injury and treating it the wizarding ways could've possibly been a hindrance in his 100 percent recovery.
And now this is where they are, sitting on top of the grimauld place, on its roof , lit up by almost 70 golden fairy lights, sheltered by a silver tent with a bunch of their friends and families assembled for the rehearsal dinner, or so the muggle called. It was just a last party from harry potter and draco malfoy.
Neville clinked his work lightly on his champagne glass raising it " Time for toast"
Draco cleared his throat grabbing attention from everyone across the table. Harry looked at him, bewildered since he definitely didn't knew Draco planned this.
" I'd like to take a few moments from all of you for this. I- I am blessed to have you all in my life and I met most of you when my life hit rock bottom and through it all, you guys have supported me unconditionally and I'm forever in debt for that"
They all raised their glasses in appreciation.
" and to you harry, tomorrow morning I will be pronouncing my vows and I know we've practically written them together, I can assure you no words are ever enough to what I feel for you. I've met you by a simple act of fate and it is my choice to choose my destiny to spend the rest of my life loving you just like you love me.
I met harry 6 years 3 months and exactly 25 days ago. I was merely counting the days of my life to make it through all of it and by far that day had been a huge blessing. A lot of you have asked me when did I realise I was in love with him and I've Always said that it was somewhere along the way but the truth is I have been saving this answer my whole life for this specific day. 3 years ago when I got hit by a car and had stitches up and down my body, 2 fractures and almost a broken nose, thank goodness for that though, I love my nose, harry being the absolute gentlemen he is, dropped the damn case to take care of my lousy ass. So this one day during my 1 month bed rest, harry had been late and I was absolutely glad he was because of ego issues, I heard my bell rang, I got up and took sometime to reach the door and by the time I had even checked who it was, the person had left, leaving a parcel in my letter box. Being me, I went downstairs to pick it up and just as I started to go back upstairs, a floor below mine I almost rolled down the stairs and guess who was the knight in shining armour, harry. He ranted the hell out of me for choosing to do that and simply grabbed my hand, put it around his neck and carried me back up. The entire day he kept bashing on about what would've happened if he wasn't there. That's when I fell In love. It wasn't magical or something as people describe it, I felt what I had been deprived of my whole life, care and love. The way he just went on and on about it, just showed me how much he cared and the same exact night he stayed over claiming he is never leaving my fucking ass alone, guess he took that too seriously by the way, I fell in love that night of him scolding me. And that's the answer I've saved up all these years. And I'm pretty sure harry is still never leaving my fucking ass alone if in future I get injured, just the consequences and situations would be far different " and draco raised his glass again.
" to harry and draco " Ron grinned, his arms wrapped around Blaise's waist.
" to harry and draco " everyone cheered
" to us " they silently whispered smiling at each other, with a look in their eyes, that was simply just their own, their love.
" I actually can't believe you took an entire minute to make this speech with basically no phrases such as electricity running through or how admirable harry looked. I means it's all sorta sparky " Ron joked. A few people around him laughed too including harry and draco.
As time went on, when everyone was almost done with dinner and simply hanging away slow dancing, chatting, making jokes, harry intertwined his fingers with those of draco's under the table and rested his head against draco's shoulder. Draco looked on his side to see his fiance finding his comfort in his neck. Smiling to himself, draco pressed a long kiss on top of Harry's head, bringing their hands to his lips and kissing over Harry's knuckles before resuming laughing at yet another one of Ron's jokes.
By midnight everyone had started to go downstairs in the house to crash over and a few of them leaving. Finishing up with the cleaning harry and draco too finally departed to their seperate bedrooms as per before marriage rituals. It was almost half an hour later when Draco heard a soft knock on his door. He opened the door cautiously to find harry standing there with a small smile.
" breaking the rules as usual " draco smirked as he turned around to let harry in behind him.
" well, that's just who I am. Besides your room have a nice balcony. Could use it " harry said as he shut the door softly and followed draco.
Draco finally turned smiling at his fiance, just staring at harry until he pulled them into the balcony, letting the moon wash over their bodies, making Harry's eyes sparkle more and draco's hair looking softer than usual.
" can you actually believe, we're getting married in less than 24 hours " draco said as he looked at the sky.
" it doesn't seem so different, does it ?" Harry asked as he stepped closer to draco and grabbing his hands to intertwine their fingers again.
" it doesn't " draco smiled as he kissed Harry's forehead. He too smiled at Draco and finally hugged draco, his arms hanging loosely around his waist , his head rested against draco's chest to hear the faint loveliest sound of his heartbeat. Draco put his chin on top of Harry's head, his arms too hanging loosely around Harry's back and just staying there like that.
" can I ask you something ?" Harry finally asked after moments of silence while watching the moon, different memories, different thoughts running in their own heads.
Draco hummed in response. Harry looked up at Draco, staring blankly as if he was trying to find something, but there was no freckle or a mole or anything left on draco's face yet for him to discover. He knew Draco better than he knew himself and it was just a small proud achievement.
" during that speech, you said something about saving your answer for this day, did you know we'd ever reach this far ?"
Draco pouted looking behind harry deciding on how to phrase it.
" I didn't. If this were to ever end, the secret would've died with me but I knew the only time I'd ever reveal it would the day before our marriage. And I did "
" so you Always wanted to get married ?"harry asked curiously in a Playful way.
" I think yeah. I never had anything close to having what we have, I'd had been a fool not to imagine whatever comes next " draco smiled at harry fondly, his hands tightening around his waist.
Harry looked at Draco amazed. Despite being together for so long, being with each other was Always a different adventure each day and this was their kind of adventure.
" when did you knew you loved me ?" Draco finally asked not looking away from harry.
" well- I think it was during the time you joined DMLE. Those deserts every Friday and the cup of coffee, they had the same handwriting on the Little notes you put into the desert box and on the coffee cup, I knew they were from you long before you told me, courtesy of stalking you all around 6th year "
" So you were obsessed with me " draco teased smirking.
" whatever helps you sleep at night " harry chuckled before he pressed his head against draco's chest again and stayed there in silence until harry had finally gone to his own bedroom, as silently as he had came.
The next day when harry and Draco finally stood against each other on the alter, after the vows, the ring ceremony, the speeches, the minister finally claimed
" I now pronounce you husband and husband, you may kiss each other "
Harry smirked at Draco holding his hands
" scared potter ?"
" you wish, Malfoy " draco smirked back.
And then they kissed, promising an eternity of love that even this life wasn't enough..
Requests open. This might be one of my favourite ones.
Day 29- sweet, sexy and practically fainting | Day 31- would you come back to me
Bath with me
Prompt- Washing the others body | fluff | implied smut | Draco had a terrible day and harry makes up for it |
" oh Honey, good you're home. We are kind of short on groceries so we need to shop- why do you like you can kill me right now ?" Harry raised his head to look at Draco entering carrying his side bag and look exhausted.
" I - can - kill - Someone right now" Draco frustratingly grabbed onto the air, growling
" okay- well I have a knife, I don't think it will work but I'm sure we can work with that. You kill, I will dispose the body- not Funny. Alright. I'm almost done, sit down, and we'll talk alright "
Groaning Draco sat down in the kitchen stool, slamming his head softly over the table. Glimpsing at draco, Harry sighed pouring the pasta immediately into the pan and covering the lid.
" I'm done " Harry announced taking off his apron and keeping it over the counter
" when were you going to tell me that I have been temporarily suspended from apparating ?" Draco looked up at harry, his chin against the table.
" what- I thought you knew. The letter came in like a day ago, it was right over your coffee table. It said it's just a temporary thing with random people because of certain case they're working on " Harry explained
" well- as my husband- you are supposed to inform me such thing " Draco rolled his eyes
" well I thought you must've read it- you know what nevermind, just tell me what's got your knickers in twist?" Harry sat down in front of him and passed him a bottle of water. Draco huffed out air, raising his head and finally started with his rant.
" so it's a normal day, I get free from work, I decided to apparate and Just as I apparate, I'm pulled into the ministry and they start explaining me everything and obviously because you didn't tell me about the disapparation temporal ban, I fought with them until they showed me the damn letter and I ultimately lost the argument and you know how much I hate losing but then I thought let's be like my gentlemen husband so I walk off the ministry, then I finally thought let's take a damn car from the ministry but then I get to know that my damn gentlemen of a husband has denied using his ministry car privileges to donate the money to the orphan- when the hell were you going to tell me ?"
" well I thought- I think I told you-"
" doesn't matter. So I thought let's travel the damn muggle way, so I take the bus-"
" oh jeez-"
" yes jeez, well I've never travelled like that before, I didn't assume it to be that bad but boy oh boy, I had to sit beside a fucking stinky man who I am assuming was smoking drugs right beside. And it's not even the worst part, I can't get out of the seat because a huge man blocks my entrance and that man didn't feel a damn thing even when I punched him to move away. So I was stuck and you wanna know the worst part, one fucking hour, I was stuck for one fucking hour until I get off the damn station five miles away from here and it's not even that, I'm walking home thinking about how it's probably the shittiest day I've had until a car with some fucking teenagers threw some damn fucking milkshake all over me- this was the worst possible fucking day ever " Draco almost sobbed in frustration.
" oh dear " harry immediately gets up and hugs Draco, kissing the top of his head " I had no idea. Why didn't you just flooed ?"
" I- that didn't fucking came in my mind- Harry " Draco whined
" shush- it's alright.. you forgot honey, you were already dealing with a hard day. Merlin,you know what, let's not sulk. I'll go and draw a bath for you, how does that sound ? " Harry asks raising Draco's face by his chin.
Draco almost weeps but nods not leaving Harry yet.
" honey- you gotta let go of me if you want me to draw that bath. I also need to stir the pasta " Harry interjected after several minutes of Draco not leaving him. He groaned and finally let go off harry.
" just go get ready for a Bath alright " Harry said as he immediately turned off the stove. Nodding Draco walks into the bedroom and harry practically ran to the bathroom to prepare his bath.
When almost done with drawing a bath, Harry walks out, and waiting outside the door for Draco to come who did, finally after undressing with just a bathrobe on.
Draco had just entered the bathroom when he calls out to harry
" aren't you going to join ?"
" no- you know I just had one "
" fine- I come home from a stressful day hoping my husband would have a nice bath-"
" Merlin, get in, I'm joining " and with a grin Draco went inside. Harry shook his head smiling to himself about his melodramatic husband, but then he knew he loved him even after everything..
And so harry finally did join Draco into the bathtub, with Draco's back pressed against his chest, enjoying the warm bath. Harry took the shampoo in his hand, and softly rubbing Draco's scalp, who moaned in pleasure.
" love, I really am sorry for how terrible your day was " Harry kissed his neck from behind, his hands roaming Draco's, Washing him.
" it's not your fault " Draco responded turning slightly to only face Harry.
" but I should've told you about the letter and the ministry car thing-"
" it's alright Harry, I didn't check my coffee table, my fault and I know exactly why you don't use the ministry affiliated car- I'm your husband Harry, of course I understand everything you do, even if you don't tell me any of it "
Harry looked at Draco with a new found appreciation for his adorable husband who was probably the most understanding man to walk upon earth.
" how did I land up with you ?" Harry smiled, wrapping his hands loosely around Draco's, pressing soft kisses all over his neck.
" the real question is how did I land up with such an amazing husband ?" Draco gave Harry a genuine smile turning around so he straddled him " I feel like I don't appreciate you enough. I mean in front of you I look like a complete prat..all I do is create drama while you look after the house, take care of the bills and most importantly, take care of me everyday"
" Draco- you take care of me and you do things- like every Sunday you bring me a new breakfast in bed, you do my clothes shopping and always get the right size, you praise me every night and never force me to do anything. And I know you are disappointed with my job, you never tell me on it, I know you want me to take a safer job, I know you do but you let me make my own decisions. And you've taken care of me so much when I had terrible days. You're too good for me Draco, but I think we both think we are too good for each other and that's what makes us so perfect for each other " Harry smiled lightly brushing Draco's cheek with his thumb
" how do you know exactly what to say at the right moment " Draco smiled at harry before leaning down to kiss him over the lips..
" you taste like wine " Draco teased
" well I did try which wine should we have for dinner, since you know you had shit day " Harry mumbled against Draco's lip, his eyes stills closed.
" god- you are just perfect " Draco mumbled before deepening the kiss, his body pressed against that of Harry's, his hands lost in the brunettes hair.
" you are perfect Draco- fuck I love you" Harry breathed, his hands roaming over the back of Draco pulling him closer, Deepening the kiss.
And they made out until the water ran cold and harry picked Draco bridal style and walked them to the room, helping him get dressed and finally having dinner with the finest me in the entire Britain he could find to settle down with.

The drowning sun reflected over the stagnant waters, making it glow in red and yellow, the soft breeze humming in their ears as they Walked barefoot with their shoes in their hands intensely conversing about the movie they had watched a week ago. It was in a faint hesitation harry spoke up to the silver boy glowing in golden.
" think we should try to recreate that scene where he picks the girl up in the air, for fun "
" oh yes, golden boy, as if it's that easy "
" it seemed easy" harry shrugged.
Draco contemplated for a moment, he would be lying to himself if he said that he didn't wanted to try it out but it seemed far too risky
" it wasn't "
And yet somehow harry with his amazing pursuing skills had convinced draco to recreate that specific dance scene from dirty dancing.
" I can't believe you're making me do this " draco shook his head as his rubbed his palms together as if he was getting ready.
" just run alright, I'll catch you. Just trust me " harry motioned his hands in a gesture to indicate draco to run towards him
" that's the problem, I trust you too much " and with that Draco ran forward towards Harry and just when it came for harry to catch him, he stepped aside, making him fall on face over the beach sand.
" what the fuck was that for?" Draco looked up from the ground at harry
" I'm sorry, I just got scared. It suddenly seemed scary, I'm sorry , fuck I should've said something-"
" damn right you should've said something " draco groaned, half wet from falling over the sand and his hair covered in sand itself.
" I'm sorry, I really am " harry nervously said as draco flipped so he was facing harry
" you bloody idiot " draco grimaced
" sorry " harry pressed his lips in a thin line and offered his hand for draco to take, which obviously in his pride he didn't take and swatted Harry's hand away.
"fuck " and just in the moment harry immediately grabbed onto draco's waist and helped him stand
" are you alright ?" Harry asked concerned
" I think- I sprained my ankle you dimwit " draco grimaced in pain
" let's get you to hospital" and with that harry grabbed all his thing's and apparated them to a muggle hospital nearby.
" well, whatever happened, the sprain is a bit more severe, not that it's a fracture but it will take a few days to recover. So try not to walk too much and apply these ointments " the doctor with spectacles said
Draco shot harry a threatening glare before thanking the doctor and leaving with harry.
" I said I'm sorry " harry rolled his eyes at Draco, taking away the bag of ointments from him and his jacket too, leaving draco to carry nothing
" that doesn't change this sprain harry " draco rolled his eyes. Just as they stepped outside the doors of the clinic, draco winced.
" maybe we shouldn't apparate. I wouldn't want you to have any splinching " harry suggested
" I can't walk " draco responded.
" well, there's not much option-"
" carry me " draco smuggly said as if he was waiting to say this for a long time
" what?" Harry questioned, somewhat shocked at such a proposal
" yes carry me. It will compensate for you causing this injury and we'll go home too. It's not that far anyway " draco frowned trying to explain harry how it wasn't such a bad idea.
" I- well it only makes sense though " harry pouted looking at the road ahead, thinking about how far he'd had to go.
" you've not more options. Give me a piggy back ride. I'm sure the flirtatious doctor would appreciate it "
" one,he wasn't flirting with me and second you're very demanding "
" you wanna fight me ?" Draco raised his eyebrows in a threatening way
Harry chuckled " Darling, I think you'd definitely lose. Now hop on" he kneeled onto the ground for draco to cling his arms and legs around him.
" don't drop me " draco said as he finally put his arms around Harry's neck. In a Swift move, harry put his arms under draco's thighs and got up.
" wow, you weigh too much. Draco I think you're getting fat " harry teased as he hopped draco a little to get a good grip then finally started walking
" I have not " draco hit Harry's head Playfully, adjusting his face in Harry's neck, breathing into it
" are you sure, because I think otherwise"
" please I work out. Have you seen yourself ?"
" you mean being fit and having a good physique, thank you very much "
As much as draco wanted to deny that, he didn't because God knows why he had Always adored Harry's body. Well adore is a bit too smooth of a word for saying he had always found himself staring at harry if he ever got a chance. It was so finely carved with all the curves and abs at the right places, the toned muscles, the slightly broad shoulders with perfectly not too much toned arms and a perfect arse. Draco every once in a while allowed himself to gawk like an owl at harry, but never would he ever admit that harry was considerably hot, especially whenever harry wore draco's sweater.
" whatever " draco rolled his eyes hoping he had not blushed.
They talked on their way over, giggling about things, making jokes about each other, discussing celebrity crushes. Harry felt odd with draco breathing on his neck. He had never felt this way before, the way draco's giggles in his ears sounded so soft and his breathing down his neck causing shivers and the smile he'd feel over his neck caused a fluttering effect in his stomach, like butterflies and the way draco just seemed to talk today was so different that harry wondered how had he never admired his voice before, of his hands, or his fingers or his laughter, everything about him but whatever it was, harry enjoyed feeling it. It was new and Harry was a sucker for new things.
Just as they reached draco's flat, harry first helped him get waters, then taking him to his bedroom while harry fetched the ointments he left at the kitchen table top. When harry returned to his room, he only found draco standing with his sprained leg spread out, without a shirt. He did work out, and it seemed pretty hot..
" what ?" Draco asked when he saw harry simply staring at him
"you're fat " Harry lied blushing, keeping the ointments on the bed
" well, thank you harry for thinking I'm hot " Draco smirked, putting on a new shirt. Harry allowed himself to stare at his soft chest, the left part of his chest covered with a phoenix tattoo, the v line disappearing under his pants and his abs glowing softly in the dim room light and the way draco was putting on a shirt, Harry only wondered why ?
But before could notice harry practically lusting over him, he had moved his eyes to the opposite side of the room, much to draco's disappointment.
" well, I'd come back later?" Harry asked
Draco thought for a moment before nodding " you're going to be at that get together at Ron's place, right " harry nodded " right, so pick me up. I don't think I'd be able to drive or apparate till then "
Harry nodded again before telling him when would be come to pick him up and finally going home with such eruptions of feelings he had once felt for Ginny, but something completely different. Harry didn't think much about it.
Over the next few days as harry spent picking up draco and helping him with regular things, he found it hard to resist himself from feeling things for him. Even if so he wanted to ignore them, he'd just find draco fondly looking at him and harry would blush like a flower and simply turn away, inappropriate thoughts rushing into his mind. The truth as harry spent thinking about in night was that, harry might've always liked draco in some way but right now, the way he felt just made him want to do things he could only possibly think of. But having learnt about heartbreak ages ago, he found himself Afraid of such feelings. He promised himself that he wouldn't fall for anyone who was just, ordinary but then again, draco wasn't ordinary.
The night finally came for the get together at Ron's place before he left for a 6 month mission to southern Europe and would not return until it's done. Despite the fact that it was a normal get together, everyone invited for forced not to dress too casual nor too formal, something harry never quite understood. Voila, comes the fashion king into his mind, draco. He had irrevocably amazing fashion sense and nobody could deny that so he picked up a few shirts, pants and jeans and drove to draco's place an hour early.
" you're early " Draco frowned as he opened the door wider for harry to come in
" fashion advice " and without a doubt draco understood what he meant..
They moved into the living room, draco settling down on the couch with harry standing in front of him with a bunch of clothes.
" what the hell not too casual and not too formal Is supposed to mean ?" Harry rolled his eyes as he dropped everything onto the chair.
" well technically it means the event is special but with close people. I have dibs on how maybe he's going to propose Hermione "
" you know what, I thought soo too " harry gossiped
" anyways, I think you should go with a nice pants and a button down shirt " draco suggested
" that's what I'm standing in " harry said with a as a matter of factedly face
" well- that's right. Show me what you got " draco ordered and one by one harry started showing him everything he could bring only for all of it to be rejected by him.
" well, we've run out of clothes " harry said as he looked down at the pile of shirts and pants on the other chair.
" that is true- you know what. I have a shirt for you, I bought it sometime ago but it's a bit lose and you can just pair it up with any of the black pants "
" what are you waiting for then. Show me " harry excitedly said
" well a fractured man can only walk so fast "
" you don't have a fracture "
" but I can take the advantage of saying that " Draco's voice echoed as he walked down the hallway into his bedroom, fetched the shirt and came back.
" I've got to admit you're quite dramatic. I'm pretty sure the sprain is fine by now. It doesn't even have a swelling " harry said as he took the shirt from draco's hands
" what do you know " draco narrowed his eyes at harry before settling down in the couch before harry.
Harry placed the blood red shirt over his chest, frowning at how good it looked
" didn't know you liked red now ?"
" rare occasions. Wear it. I've got to get ready too "
And with that Draco departed into his room to get ready. Harry had just began to put on his shirt when draco walked into the living room asking for something.
" oh " Draco's Throat echoed as he saw harry shirtless
" what ?"
" I didn't know you were- well undressed " draco blushed
" not like you haven't seen me this way before" Harry shrugged putting on the shirt.
Why, god, why, draco's inner voice screamed in lust.
" anyway- which one is better ?" Draco asked still blushing
" both are good draco. You've got a nice dressing sense "
" don't flatter me. I can't wear both, choose one " draco asked again. Harry scanned both the shirts.
" the light blue satin shirt. Makes your skin- eyes look good " harry Blushed.
Draco wondered what the fuck was harry blushing for when he was the one complimented with one of the finest compliments.
" I did not know that " draco said lowly
" well now you do " harry smiled. Draco nodded before walking away, the glimpse of harry rolling his sleeves invading his senses.
After about half an hour, they both were fully dressed and ready to go.
" you look good " harry complimented
" so do you " draco smiled in returned
" shall we ?" Harry as he pointed the door.
When Draco finally nodded, they both departed to Ron's place, realising the get together was at the roof top.
Half-way through the party, harry sensed Draco was probably right and was still finding it hard to not see Draco from all the way across the room. There was no men finer in the entire room other than him and harry hated it as much as he loved it. It was excruciating to find someone so attractive who was your best friend who you had no chance with but the desire to want him was longingly growing inside his chest.. he was so desirable across the entire room, bunched about with a few people, laughing and smiling over something harry couldn't possibly decipher. His thoughts ran in his head like an endless loop until the boy in Harry's desirable dreams saw him and paused his ongoing conversation and made his way towards harry. Caught in the act he tried to busy himself with the bottom of his shirt until the other man cleared his throat.
" oh, didn't see you there draco "
" right, so you were looking at ..."
" pansy. She looks good in that dress "
" Pansy isn't even here harry " draco chuckled, blocking Harry's line of sight.
" oh"
Draco genuinely smiled at harry knowing exactly that he wasn't the only boy caught in the loop of desiring the other.
" so you want to pretend that you weren't looking at me for half the party, not to mention with an admirable gaze " draco smirked crossing his arms in front of him
" that would be nice " harry frowned lightly
" well then I have to pretend that I wasn't checking you out back at the flat almost as admirably as you were " Draco smugly said as he shifted besides harry, standing against the railing..
" as long as we're pretending then I think I'll pretend I didn't check you out a couple of days ago when you were changing " harry replies smiling, almost liking this pretend game.
" okay then, I'll pretend that I haven't checked you out everytime you're shirtless, or everytime you wear one of my sweater or when you ruffle your hair " draco smirked. Harry raised an eyebrow at Draco, slightly amused
" then I'll pretend that I didn't enjoy carrying you on mu back a few days ago because I got to be close with you " harry smirked
" then I'll pretend that I don't like being this close to you " draco said as he stepped forward..
" then I'll pretend that I don't have these fluttering feelings for you which seems to invade all my senses "
" I'll pretend that I haven't liked you for almost forever "
" then I'll pretend that I don't want to take you home right now "
" I'll pretend I didn't agree "
______________________________
" I knew you bought that shirt for me " harry lazily smiled as he softly grazed draco's naked arms spread over his chest covered on blankets
" don't flatter yourself potter " draco rolled his eyes as he snuggled further into harry
" fine I won't but doesn't stop me from teasing you about how you let me fuck almost 5 times last night alone " harry grinned cheekily as if it was proud achievement
" If you do it again, you are going to regret it " Draco softly threatened
" well you did let me, not once, not twice, not thrice, not fou- what's the word- four times , five times-"
" you're an asshole " draco rolled his eyes
" well I'd like to be your asshole, if you want me to be ?" Harry asked, worried if he had ruined the conversation by bringing this up.
" if you don't shut up and let me sleep, I won't let you be my asshole but if you do, I'd let you be so much more " draco yawned, tired from all the activities from last night.
Harry chuckled at the lightness of the tone before kissing the top of draco's forehead.
" sweet dreams angel "
And draco hummed, falling fast asleep again in Harry's arm..

Day 35 - every inch of you | Day 37- you're my home, draco
37. You're my home, draco
Putting their head on other's chest | For @thebusyfangirl for being extremely supportive with all the reblogging, I cannot thank you enough| angst | hurt comfort | happy ending | fluff
" well that's not my problem harry, is it ? If you can't fucking do one thing on your own that's your damn fault " draco yelled from across the kitchen at harry who was standing in the middle of the living room looking agitated
" I do things on my own. It's that you are the one who keeps thing's in the house, not me and if you're not responsible enough for it just say it " harry yelled back.
Furiously draco stomped out of the kitchen " responsible? So this is your house when it's about the house lease and paper's and suddenly when it comes to keeping thing's, it's mine. When was the last time you were responsible enough to keep things in the right place on your own? If for once you could fold your own clothes or do your own laundry or maybe just not fucking throw things anywhere you want to, so I'd pick up then maybe, Maybe for once you wouldn't have to ask me where your shit is !! It's not just my own responsibilities " draco yelled at harry face talking off the apron off his waist
" you know what you are right, I'll do my damn shit on my own Because you're fucking irresponsible with whatever you do. After all why would you understand the load of work I have to do each day, going after the bad guys.. if even for one day you'd go things I do then you'd understand where I'm coming from But if this is the way it's going to be, you do your own shit and I'll do mine "harry sneered back
" work ? You're saying as if I don't do work? I teach at least 6 classes in a day, check almost 200 copies, sit with a bunch of teachers who are much more older than me, clean the mess of the potions students make, don't you dare compare our work! Just because your work requires more strength or power or maybe responsibility, doesn't mean I don't do shit "
" draco, you're a damn teacher. I am a goddamn auror. I put my life on line everyday so I can make money for us-"
" and you're not the only man making money in this house. I earn only 200 galleons less than you do and that's not even a huge deal so stop making it seem as if you're the man of the House or that you are doing a great deal for me because let me be honest, the only thing you do for me is creating problems and fighting, that's it " draco yelled and stormed out of the house before harry could've yelled back further.
Harry groaned loudly shutting off the house and storming away himself to get away from the horrors the place held. Both of them Only returned much later after midnight at the same time and went to bed immediately without saying even a single word. And the next morning, draco left the house much more earlier than he was supposed to, leaving a note that he'd be at Hogwarts for at least a week as per the requirements by the school board to finish off with the heavy work left pending. At first harry was Happy seeing the note, thinking to himself that the house would be Empty after so Long.
But he was wrong.
At night when he came back to a messed up home, no cooked meal, he felt slightly furious and almost called out to draco but realised quickly that he wasn't home. Not dropping much thought over it, cleaned up the place, freshened up and decided to order food instead of cooking. But 4 days in, harry found himself much more tired and in desperation to just see Draco. The thing was harry knew why draco was staying an entire week at school, he knew his husband very well, he would never leave any pending work but just the realisation that draco needed a break from harry and the house, he found it saddening on a lonely night.
" so what'd he say last before he left ?" Ron asked as they chatting up about their Harry's current problems with marriage over brunch away from work for sometime
" something about him earning not significantly less than me and how I'm irresponsible and creating problems. I'm just tired Ron, lately all we do is fight. You wouldn't believe, just last week we were fighting about changing a wallpaper and you'd expect that it got resolved but it didn't. We didn't talk and that was it. It just- I don't know- like the whole marriage thing really work out for us " harry replied sadly
Ron looked at harry understandingly.." I understand you harry but I don't think he's entirely wrong-"
" so you also think I'm irresponsible-"
" Merlin, don't get your knickers in twist. All I'm saying maybe he isn't wrong. You've fought with me quite often too lately but we're friends harry, but it's different with him, he's your husband. He needs you and you can't possibly deny that you've been nice to people lately. When was the last time you bought Hermione flowers or told her she looked not a today older than she is or the last time you called Ginny about her games or take neville, when did you even call him last to see how he's doing ? The thing is Harry you've been so work involved that you've barely acknowledged the people around you. Remember 2 months after you got married and you told me marrying draco was the best thing you did, what happened to that ?"
Harry's face drew upset, knowing that Ron was in fact right. He'd been so into himself that he had barely made time for the rest of them " I don't know Ron. I just feel like maybe it's all getting out of hands. Like my plates full maybe-"
" like you need a break?"
Harry nodded.
" look Hermione and me have known you the longest and she haven't seen you in so long but she knows somethings up. We know you harry, we understand how you get when you're stressed or angry even but this, this isn't who you are. After everything you've been through and go through each day we understand you but to me you'll always be the harry potter who broke his glasses like a million times in school yet refused to buy new one's because you liked them or the harry potter who hung me by my feet or the harry potter who'd die than leave his friends " ron gave harry the most perfect smile for the situation.
Harry sighed " what am I doing wrong Ron ?"
" you've forgotten who you are and a little maybe the people around you or you're probably letting something eat you alive.. whatever it is harry, do something about it or it'll be too late to fix things" and by that harry knew he meant draco.
Harry nodded at Ron, thinking about what he'd do next to remind his husband, that he is still his lover.
When it came to Saturday night, almost a night before draco would come back, harry firmly sat back on the couch looking at the empty spot besides him with his favourite television show running in the back, yet all he could think was about the memories with draco, the times he made him laugh and now harry didn't even remember in the last one year they've been married the last time harry made his husband laugh. Harry switched off the tv, sighing, getting up from the couch and going into the storage room. He cleared the dust, blowing some away, then turning on a little lamp around the corner. Following his instincts, harry went deeper into the pit of storage and found his things back from the school days. Falling into nostalgia, harry took his school thing's, a few things after that and album's he had gotten made and went back to living room and set everything on the ground.
Memories probably never leave you yet sometimes you need to be reminded of who you are to become who you want to be and that's exactly what harry was doing, figuring out when he became the person he is Today. He went through things after things he had from school, his defense against dark arts books, the model of something science related he made for muggle studies and the albums. Pictures after pictures with people he loved, he found himself drowning into it. It had been so long since the last time he contacted any of them and it saddened him. This isn't who he is, yet somehow this is exactly who he is. As sadness started to fill into his lungs, he finally opened the last box he had retrieve and opened it to find things related to draco. They started going out late in 8 th year and going through a lot of post-war things, Harry had maintained a diary in a muggle way to vent out but most of the end of the diary was filled with how draco looked so good under the moon or how draco was mindlessly biting the top of pencils or biting his lip during class or how his dates went.
Without glancing up harry said " don't leave me "
" how did you know I came ? " Draco asked as he stepped into the living room and sat down next to harry
" you're my soulmate draco, I can sense whenever you're around me "
" you can ?" Draco frowned, not believing harry could still do it.
" just because I've became this huge asshole doesn't mean I've stopped loving you draco "
" it doesn't hurt to remind every once in a while "
Harry looked up finally to see an upset draco sitting next to him with a sad smile " I do tell you I love you "
" when was the last time you said that to me?" Draco asked smiling lightly
Harry frowned lightly, confused but immediately realised he hadn't spoken the words out in almost 5 months " fuck- I'm sorry- shit"
" yeah " draco signed looking down at the things harry was going through " what's all this ?"
" this- school stuff. And this is a box specifically about you " harry pushed the box a little box towards draco
" I own an entire separate box ?" Draco chuckled
" you own an entire different separate place in my life too and I think me becoming an asshole forgot that " harry replied sadly. Draco looked at harry sympathetically before pulling him forward towards him and wrapping his arms around Harry's torso..
" that's all I wanted to hear " draco's voice broke. Harry leaned in further, his head pressed against draco's chest, small tears escaping his eyes and wetting draco's shirt.
" I'm sorry. I never meant to be this problematic and with the whole fighting things. I'm so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you but I just, I'm such an asshole" harry rambled
" you're not an asshole harry. Hey look at me- you are a brilliant man who sometimes needs a break. I haven't been less of an ass to you myself but everyone have a rough patch in marriage and we will get past this too. We're special harry, remember. We're Always special " draco smiled holding Harry's face in his hands
" I don't want to be this person. I just want to be yours and I don't want to fight you, I don't want to yell at you or you to yell at me and i don't want you ever leaving me alone.. I can't- I don't want to be without you draco, I don't know how to be. I've been so selfish that forgot to tell you how much I love you for 5 months, I don't ever want that again. I want to tell you everyday how much I love you. I don't want all these fights, I hate it without you. It doesn't feel like home without you draco, you're my home and with you gone, nothing makes sense, not even me " harry sobbed.
Draco eyes welled up with tears " I don't want all this too harry. I want to be entirely yours and yours forever. I Always Want you to be my home. Fuck I love you- I've missed you so much "
" I missed you too. I love you draco, I love you so so so much, I love you "
" I know you do " draco smiled. He softly kissed the top of Harry's head, then his cheeks, his eyes, his forehead and finally his lips.
" don't ever leave me, ever "
" never " Draco sobbed, their foreheads touching each other, taking in deep breaths with tears running down their faces like a small river.
It was sometime later when they started going through Harry's thing's together with harry cuddled into draco.
" what's this ?" Draco asked as he picked out a small dry petal
" oh, this was from the restaurant I proposed in "
" and this ?"
" this is- I think the handkerchief you left the night we first kissed "
" oh, nice, what this ?"
" I think that's the note I wrote to you to ask you out for first date but never sent it "
" real smooth harry " draco chuckled. Harry rolled his eyes, playfully hitting draco over his chest before picking up and showing him thing's again.
" you still have that paper boat from our first date ?" Draco asked softly gazing at harry
" well- I still think it's the most perfect boat ever made " harry smiled at draco before pressing a small kiss over his lip.
It was harry who Always imagined that, that perfect little boat was the reasons for everything they have right now, but draco never needed to know that, after all he was his special man and he made him the happiest man in the whole world even if sometimes the boat drowned a bit..

" when was your first time ?" Seamus smugly asked Draco as he drank his butter beer from across the room sprawled over the bean bag
" I will prefer not to answer the question. It is highly confidential and that information shall only be revealed to Someone I'm with. So dear Seamus you can enjoy asking this question to other, while I would refuse to answer " Draco sophisticatedly replied, tilting his head to put on more emphasis upon his words.
" Merlin, you could've just said I'm not answering that. No need to go all Shakespearian " Ron rolled his eyes at Draco.
Harry chuckled as he joined Draco over the couch, putting his legs over Draco's laps, not that either of them ever minded that physical touch " that's Draco for you. He'll never give a direct answer. I can bet, if he were in an English Muggle class, he'd top "
" I topped nonetheless " Draco rolled his eyes, his hands automatically falling into a pattern of softly stroke the bottom of Harry's leg, a habit he's grown attached to.
" really? From what I remember I got 7 owls while you got only 6. It's just as if I was infact better than you " Harry smirked
" whatever Harry. I was the headboy " Draco rolled his eyes at harry, yet again but then again he liked these small bickerings with him. Blaise eyed them from the corner of the room, enjoying it himself, not Daring to say anything.
" and I was given the opportunity, I just denied "
" as if "
" whatever helps you sleep at night darling" Harry teased as he pinched Draco's cheeks softly
" don't " Draco growled as he swatted Harry's hand away
" one angry kitten aren't you " Harry chuckled, picking up his can of butter beer and drinking it.
" don't call me that " Draco sneered, not in a furious way, just slightly threatening way.
" anywaysss " Seamus echoed, breaking off their not so private conversation " when was your first time harry ?"
" Ron, you might wanna cover your ears for this one " Harry chuckled. Ron gave him a look but refused to do so " it was after war, when I got back with Ginny, in the time we were going out for a short time "
" what about in 6th year ?" Dean asked snuggling closer to Seamus on the bean bag
" we couldn't really ever get to it. I mean for one neither of us were ready, and we were just kids. Although when we did it after we got back together, we realised almost instantly it wasn't something we enjoyed, not that part, just with opposite sex kind of thing. Well mostly her, no offense. Or it could've been we weren't just attracted to each other that way " Harry explained
" really ? I always thought you guys would work out you know " Dean said. Harry looked at Dean amused but didn't say anything.
" I never thought you guys would end up together really. Never seemed as if so " Seamus added
" interest me in why ?" Harry asked
" it just, I always knew you were sort of bi even before you started going with Ginny. It was Evident really sometimes. And with Ginny herself, she didn't seem like a person to be with a guy. I mean coming from I figured my sexuality really early on, I just sometimes knew it.. besides after the first time you guys broke up, it seemed almost impossible for it work later on " Seamus explained. Everyone including Draco thought about what he had said and nobody could even deny that it was a lie.
" what's your dating track anyway right now Harry ?" Blaise asked standing over the chair behind Ron.
" oh it's not that bad. I do go out on a few dates. I went on a date last week infact and believe me that guy was really good, dashing, almost ced- well Cedric diggory Kinda hot but right in the middle of the date, I feel something going up my leg. I almost choked on my Tuna fish and he goes, do you like it ? I was more shocked than anything else. It was weird if anything "
" so what next ?"
" I didn't call him back. I think somewhere along the date, he might've said he had feet fetish.. he would much rather make love to my feets than me and it was just plainly weird "
" people have all different sorts of fetishes " Ron frowned
" yeah, I respect them but feet fetishes just creeps me out " Harry almost shivered at the thought of it.
And everyone soon fell into talking about weirdest kinks and fetishes, something they all were rather amused to be in conversation about, except, Harry.
Draco stopped stroking Harry's leg for a moment to softly clutch on them to seek his attention.
" it's alright Harry.. you can't change anything.. besides I think he lived a good life" Draco softly said.
" I still can't forget though. It's almost as if I can still see it happening in front of my eyes " Harry Whispered back.
" I know. He was a brave guy though. You can't do anything anymore. I'm sure- he'd want you to get over it too " Draco whispered. Harry bit his lip softly before nodding. To provide comfort, Draco again started stroking Harry's legs.
" feels nice" Harry smiled at Draco, who simply smiled back.
" talking off that, what say about going on a date with someone ?" Harry asked Draco but had inevitably grabbed attention from a few others in the room.
Draco raised his eyebrows in strange surprise " really ?"
" I met some guy at the animal shop across the street. He seemed like someone you could date " Harry replied
" why me, why not you ?" Draco defensively asked
" well, he's not my type but he's yours and he did seem to notice you with me a couple of days ago, so I thought maybe you could talk to him and see if you'd like to go out with him " Harry suggested.
Draco frowned at harry before clearing his throat " I'll pay that animal shop a visit then "
" great " Harry grinned
" I'm gonna use the loo " Draco sighed and got up abruptly
" unbelievable " Blaise announced. Harry looked around the room to receive strange looks " what are you all staring at me for ?" Harry asked confused
But nobody responded except that most of them groaned, leaving Harry more confused. Draco returned a few minutes, chatted a bit and then left claiming he had to feed his cat.
As a few weeks goes on by, Harry discovered that draco did started going with the guy he had told him about and was infact in a happy place to be with him. And it was all fun and games until Harry was offended that Draco no longer gave him that much time anymore or the fact that he kept cancelling on him over and over or that he longer was interested in watching movies with harry but sure had fun plans with his so called boyfriend or the guy he's dating, he cared no less. By which he meant, he did cared. To say his friends were tired of Harry ranting on about Draco cancelling on him that one time Ron even put up muffalito charm on him. It was splendid how things were going, in a sarcastic way of course until Draco decided it was time for him to make everyone meet his boyfriend, and harry wanted to burn himself on flames.
" I frankly don't understand why the expensive dinner, I mean, couldn't he had just invited us to his place or his so called boyfriend's place " Harry vented air quoting boyfriend
" Harry you were the one who set him up in the first place, stop being mad at him and jealous not to mention " Hermione rolled her eyes eating the chips off the packet
" jealous, I'm not jealous " Harry defensively said
" sure " Ron rolled his eyes.
" look Harry, you're clearly jealous that he isn't spending as much as time with you and its bothering you, so just talk to him about it " Hermione suggested shrugging her shoulder
" look, I don't know what's cooking in both of your brains but I'm-not-jealous " harry slammed the cloth over the counter and went inside his bedroom
" I miss the time when he wasn't such a dramatic ass " Ron taunted
" I can hear you " Harry yelled from inside the room, hearing faint whispers from Ron and Hermione in the living room..
And the truth infact was that Harry was jealous, which he Only discovered over the dinner when Draco was practically almost all over him that harry wanted to tell him to just sit in his lap, didn't of course. And to make it worse, he was jealous of how good they actually looked, which resulted in harry losing his appetite and almost groaning every five minutes. Hermione had to kick him under the table to behave a couple of times.
Spending the night in his thoughts, Harry came across things he wished he had known earlier or things he never felt but whatever it was, he felt frustrated in himself to set Draco up and he had no idea what to do next, so he decided to take advice from the only man he knew the best was at.
" Harry ? What a pleasant surprise. Ron's not at home though " Blaise said as he opened the door for him
" I actually came here to talk to you " Harry sighed as he went in. Blaise frowned in surprise before walking behind Harry himself
" well what can I interest you in, a joke, a mimickery,-"
" an advice actually " Harry groaned as he slumped down on the couch.
" oh- Ron's better at that-"
" he isn't, he told me to talk to you " Harry replied. Blaise walked into the kitchen, opening the window to the living room to converse through the kitchen.
" did he ? What can I help you with then ?" Blaise asked as he poured water for Harry and walking in to give it to him.
" I think, that I might have feelings for Draco" Harry replied
" you are officially the last person to know that " Blaise chuckled as he walked back into the kitchen and fetched something to eat.
" what ? You guys knew that ?" Harry sat uptight
" of course " Blaise scrunched his eyebrows as an obvious face
" why didn't you guys tell me ?" Harry asked agitated with his friends
" because these are the things we're not supposed to tell you, you're the one supposed to tell us, you dimwit " Blaise rolled his eyes, throwing his hands in the air.
" well you could've at least warned me " Harry groaned
" how could you not have known !! When did you even figure It out anyways?" Blaise asked as he shut the cabinet for the last time, bringing a packet of cookies and chips with him and slumping down in front of Harry.
" I think I've known for a bit since he started going out, but last night i was pretty confirmed that I was jealous " Harry Told him
" well I'd like to say you are that ruined your chances but guessing you came for advice, you came here to know how to fix it and I'll tell you, I do not have even the slightest idea how to fix your shit soup "
" what ?" Harry emphasised
" Harry, you yourself set him up with someone almost exactly like you. If Draco even Liked you at some point, now he knows that you don't like him and he's probably moved on and supposedly happy in his newfound relationship "
" Blaise, If I wanted to listen to how I fucked it up I wouldn't had come to you. I need to know how can I fix this " harry sarcastically responded raising his eyebrows
" look the easiest way is to simply confess or move on. I can't help you harry even if I wanted to. Draco seems happy " Blaise told him emphatically.
Harry was disappointed but knew Blaise was right, there was possibly nothing he could've done to make it right, at least not something that would sabotage their relationship.
It took harry a couple more days to become normal with the fact that draco was dating and finally paving his way to move on, which was definitely hard. And harry could've assumed he was doing good until Draco invited him for a picnic, claiming they haven't gotten out individually in a while. Normally harry would've been very ecstatic about it but considering the phase he was going through it was hard but didn't deny his sweet offer.
" took you a bit long- and your boyfriend's here too " harry pressed his lips in a thin line when he saw them coming together.
"it was just us but his plans got cancelled last moment so he tagged alone.. i hope you don't mind " Draco plead guilty
Harry sighed before giving him a firm smile and nodding " it's going to be one hell of a day "
Halfway through the picnic, harry Would've assumed he would be the thrid wheel but it was infact quite opposite, his boyfriend, jake was infact the third wheel who basically had no idea about draco's life which surprised harry a little more than it should have.
" you- jake, you alright ?" Harry asked looking over draco's shoulder at his boyfriend who looked puzzled
" what? I'm fine, just thinking " he gave them a firm smile.. draco leaned a bit into jake as if to give him the feeling he was still here but jake rejected it, much to draco's surprise.
" what you thinking about ?" Harry asked furrowing his eyebrows.
" what exactly I'm doing here?-"
" shit- I'm sorry for making you feel as if I'm intruding-"
" no, it's not that. It's just so clear that you both are so meant to be together, yet here I am on a picnic with two people who are supposed to be together but are not because of me-"
" that's not true " draco interjected
" is it not ? " Jake asked more firmly than before, not forgetting to give a smile so as to not sound harsh.
Draco opened his mouth to say something but closed it again.
" even if it is true for me, I don't think Draco feels that way . Besides you guys are dating, I don't want to be the reason for your break up" harry replied sympathetically
" you're not harry. I just- I can see it, maybe you two are blind but I'm not.. Enjoy yourselves " jake said as he abruptly stood up
" jake don't be like that " draco too stood up
Jake sighed taking draco's hands in his own " I'll stay if you admit you don't have any feelings for him, if you've never wanted to be with him, if you've felt anything closer to what you feel for him about Me. Admit it freely and I'll stay"
But draco couldn't say anything..
" thought so. I'd be fine by the way. I don't think I've seen two people belonging to each more than you two " and jake departed.
Draco stood there a few minutes watching him walk away, his shoulder slouched as if not believing that he'd just been dumped.
" draco-"
" you're a jerk " draco turned around
" what ?" Harry asked confused
" you're an insolent jerk " draco picked up from dry leaves from the ground and hitting harry with that.
" what the fuck did I do ?" Harry shielded himself as draco threw more and more leaves and grasses
" you fucking moron, you were Flirting with me " draco huffed stopping for a moment
" I wasn't flirting " harry whined. Draco gave him a look before picking up more leaves and throwing it at him
" okay, okay. I was but hey it's your fault to go along with it " harry stumbled back over the ground
" well it's not my fault if you're bloody good at it "
" is it my fault that you enjoyed and I'm not the only victim here, you were flirting too " harry looked up at Draco from the ground
" I wasn't flirting " draco narrowed his eyes. Harry hooked his leg around that of draco, making him trip over and fall over harry, who he instantly rolled over, pinning draco to ground.
" were you not ?" Harry breathed
" it doesn't matter-"
" you were flirting back" harry commanded
" okay, fine I was but you had no right- hmph" draco moaned softly as harry kissed him over the lips, kissing until the need for oxygen finally had made sense again.
" now tell me, how long have you wanted this?" Harry huffed.
Draco rolled his eyes, still pink from all the kissing " I haven't wanted this "
" okay " harry frowned as he leaned down, his lips lightly brushing over that of draco's " you sure ?" Harry asked not moving an inch closer or further
Draco's breath choked down, desperately wanting to lean forward to kiss him again but didn't to avoid giving harry the satisfaction of having the upper hand.
" you don't want me to kiss you again then? That's right yeah " harry whispered as he bit Draco's lower lip, earning a soft moan and his body involuntarily pressed against harry's
" seems otherwise " harry whispered.
" merlin " draco moaned. Smirking harry pulled away looking at Draco from a distance.
Sucking his cheeks, draco immediately pulled harry to him and kissed him again, this time in more desperation and rush.
" guess who's got the upper hand now " draco moaned as he freed his hands and put them in his hair.
" you" harry chuckled, Thoroughly enjoying kissing draco himself.
" jerk " draco chuckled
" you're the jerk " harry chuckled
" and you broke his heart " harry whispered against his lips smiling
" eh, he always knew it anyways " draco shrugged
" you really are a jerk then " harry smiled as he pulled away a bit, admiring draco.
" and you're the jerk who just broke my relationship and has basically manipulated me into kissing you " draco raised an eyebrow amusingly
" I don't regret it " harry regret
" me either " draco smiled and leaned in again.

Prompt used- giving piggy back ride | FLUFF | DOMESTIC | Draco finally asks Harry to move in with him |
" I don't know why do I have to do this " Harry groaned as he kneeled down to let Draco up on his back
" because you lost a bet. You said I couldn't eat 30 pancakes within an hour and I proved you wrong. Now the consequences may or May not have been different but since you lost a bet and you'd do anything I tell you for a week, give me a piggy back ride now "
" I hate you " Harry rolled his eyes, getting hold of Draco as he leaned up on his back
" aw, I love you too honey. Besides today's the last day, so you're going to be off the hook " Draco gave him a witty smile before hooking his arms around Harry's neck and resting his head into his neck, kissing the spot softly.
" well I absolutely had no idea that you had a stomach as that of hagrid " Harry said out of breath as he started climbing up the stairs, as a part of the lost bet
" shut up " he playfully swatted Harry's hand before clinging more closely to harry.
" you have the bags right ?" Harry asked.
" is it bad I levicorpused it ?" Draco asked innocently
" I live in a Muggle building Draco, will you at least try to be subtle about it "
" I am subtle. It's not my problem that you love living in a place where you have to fix your cupboards once every week "
" so it's screw's are a little weak. I got them changed last week " Harry Replied as he Bounced Draco up a little
" well anyways, they still keep falling off. I don't like making breakfast for you when it keeps falling on me almost half the time " Draco sighed into his neck
" Draco, honey, I love you but you have never cooked breakfast for me "
" hey, my lunch is my breakfast "
" and I can surely see that "
" you promised you'd love my body no matter what " Draco rolled his eyes
" I promised to love you, not your unhealthy eating habits " Harry groaned as he started fetching for his keys in his pockets.
" hello Mrs. Adelman " Harry suddenly said as he greeted his neighbour.
" hello, dear. You too Draco. Still keeping him on the bet ?" She asked humourously as he locked her door
" a man's got to do what he got to do " draco shrugged.
With a soft laugh, Mrs. Adelman left them alone
" can't believe she likes you more " Harry said as he kicked open the door.
" well If you'd talk baking with her, I'm sure she'd love you too " Draco replied as he jumped off his back and placed the bags on the kitchen table.
" but I suck at it "
" because you never tried it you idiot "
" you're forgetting, I did try, remember that day before Ron's birthday, I tried to bake a cake for him and it resulted in a disaster " Harry's Voice echoed as he looked into the fridge, fetching some cold water bottles.
" and I wonder who do you love more" Draco humoured as he caught the bottle Harry threw at him
" that's not even a question" Harry said as he walked by Draco into the living room.
" hey, you're staying at my place tonight, isn't it?" Draco asked
Harry threw his head back a little in forgotten promise " I'm so sorry, I can't. I have a bunch of office stuff lined up to complete. I still have that unpacking to do from our trip, Then there's laundry and I stayed at your place for three days just a day before yesterday and the cleaning charm Only works so good "
" but you said you would " Draco raised his shoulder for emphasis
" I know I did love, but I have to complete my work. Here's a thing, why don't you stay over ?"
" you think you're the only one with work huh? I have to read like 20 articles to finish up my study on the potion and write a letter to the ministry and - there's just work "Draco replied as he pushed back a small part of his hair behind his ear
" well then, I guess it's clear. We'll stay at our own places today " Harry waved his hand in a small motion with a shrug
" but I like it when you're over at my place " Draco whined
" I know, I do too babe but you understand the work right " Harry gave him a small smile before he pressed a chaste kiss over his forehead.
Draco hummed in approval, wrapping his arms Around Harry for a moment before letting go.
" I'll see you tomorrow then ?" Harry asked
" mhm, yeah " Draco forced a little smile, kissing harry then letting go of his boyfriend.
Draco was about to walk out of his flat when a strange idea struck his head " unless .."
" unless you help me with my things ?"
" what- no!! I love you but you do your shit in your own "
" you're no fun " Harry rolled his eyes
" i am fun and you know it " Draco glared at him.
" anyways that's besides the point. What if you work at my place ?" Draco suggested
" but then I'd have to do back and forth if I needed something " Harry frowned
" yes,but what if you had all your things there ? And you could even unpack there ?" Draco suggested raising his eyebrows expectedly.
" but then I'd have to back and fourth every morning and then all my things would be there and it would only increase my work " Harry scrunched his face in visible confusion
Draco widened his eyes at the dumbness of the man he chose to love " yes but if all your things would be there ,you wouldn't had to back and forth ?"
" but then-"
" oh for fucks sake, Harry I'm asking you to move on with me you daft idiot "
" but why-"
" you know what, nevermind I asked-"
" I'm only playing with you " Harry laughed pulling Draco closer to him and cupping his face to kiss him " of course I'd move in with you. About time you asked me to "
" well I don't understand why do I have to be the one to take the bigger steps ?" Draco rolled his eyes, his face still squished betweens Harry's hands.
" because my beloved, I take the smaller steps. Like doing your shopping, your Grocery shopping, your clothing shopping with you, reminding you of your letters, reminding you to wish people and you like being the bigger responsible one in this relationship " Harry grinned, admiring his Beautiful of a boyfriend
" well that is true " Draco nodded approvingly " so you will ?"
" of course Draco. I'd love to move in with you and wreck your place and now you can't unmove me " Harry pointed a finger at him in a playful threat
" should've thought of that before " Draco whispered under his breath before smiling at his boyfriend knowing despite everything he loved Harry wholeheartedly till the end of the world.
" now off you go, I'll meet you tomorrow. I've got shit to do " Harry pushed Draco a Little more towards the door.
" wow, I am so excited to move in with you" Draco sarcastically said as he leaned down to kiss Harry over his cheeks.
" I am too, now go and create space for me to move in "
" I can't wait " Draco smiled and then Harry finally pushed him out of the door
" I love you " Harry said
" love you too " and finally Harry shut the door, smiling to himself, excited for the new step in his relationship.
This is a very plain fluff but I hope you liked it

TW ⚠️- BLOOD MENTION, SUICIDE ATTEMPT
" you are too young to take the case Harry " Kingsley sighed
" Mr. Shackebolt I'd rather be thrown out of the trial for being too young than not to try to save a kid that I know is absolutely innocent "
" you don't know that Harry-"
" but I do. I know he is innocent and I believe him" Harry snapped.
" Harry, ministry doesn't work on belief system. Even if I try to persuade the ministry, he will still be a death eater-"
" one that he was forced to become. Mr. Shackebolt, I beg you. Please "
Shackebolt shut off his eyes for a moment, sighing before he let out the words of wisdom " I will try "
" that's all I need " and Harry walked out of his office, hardly making through the stampede of people.
It took him almost a week to finally get Draco's under him, with limitations that he would be under supervision.
" any of evidence's found ?" Harry asked as he sat down in the swamp of files and books relating to the case, for defense.
" we went through his things and this was all that we could find. Nothing relevant. Just a couple of notes, hate letters and school thing's" the auror distastefully said
" leave me all of it and kindly leave the room " Harry Replied with much resilience not to snap at him.
The auror walked out of the room rather disappointed or with expression full of hatred. It wasn't such a surprise to him anymore. Ever since the news flooded out he wanted to speak against the defense for the malfoy family, he's gotten support and hatred both but mostly severely judged. And harry tried his best to not let it effect him.
He went through most of the hate letters he received from a ton of people he actually knew back from school, a lot of people who helped him during the war. To say he wasn't surprised by the immaturity of people to hate on death eaters without giving them a chance to defend themselves. Some of the letters were so harsh that Harry had to practically incendio them but it wasn't of any use knowing letters to Draco were already read. Spending almost 3 hours in the room, he got fed up of Reading letter and Decided to go out. He was about to even walk out of the ministry when he passed by the juvenile prisoners and decided to pay Draco a visit to have a one to one conversation with him to know if he could be of any use.
" visitor to Draco malfoy" Harry told the man behind the desk who almost became Shocked to death quite literally at seeing Harry. Again, not such a surprising thing anymore.
" Draco malfoy, sir "
" right, right, of course. You have the permission ?" He asked
" I - I don't but I know Kingsley shacklebolt, I can get him to get me in " Harry almost threateningly said
" th- that won't be required. Cell no. 21" the man almost mewled and gave Harry the key to the cell.
Rolling his eyes, Harry walked off to Draco's cell not knowing exactly why he was paying him a visit or what exactly was he going to say when he meets Draco.
But it wasn't required because when he reached the cell, it was completely dark with Only someone lying in the corner. Assuming he must be sleeping, Harry almost walked until he didn't feel Right and walked into the cell, finding him too limp to move. Harry kneeled down to Draco's eye level but they were shut closed.
" Malfoy, hey, can you hear me ?" Harry slapped Draco's cheeks lightly to bring him into consciousness.
" hey, Draco. What's wron- holy fuck " Harry immediately gasped as his eyes fell upon the blood oozing out from his wrist.
Panting heavily in panic, Harry pushed away his sleeves to reveal multiple cuts down his wrist, losing blood more than usual.
" help, I need someone in here. A medic " Harry yelled loudly for someone to at least hear his faint voice if possible.
" Draco I need you to look at me, come on. Wake up " Harry heavily rasped as his voice started to break down in the fear of holding someone innocent who might be dead.
He placed his fingers on Draco's neck meeting with only faint heartbeat.
" please, Just. Don't give up. I'm gonna get you out of here " Harry whimpered. He tore a part of his shirt and tied around his wrist and without procrastinating picked Draco up in his arms.
With much difficulty and almost out of breath, Harry finally reached the key holder.
" I need you to call st. Mungo's right now" he shouted at the man before running forward out of the cells.
He was almost out when he caught attention of just the person he needed.
" what's wrong with him?" Mr. Shackebolt asked in deadening shock
" attempt to suicide possibly. He's still alive. We need to get him to the hospital right now" he hadn't even realised how hurriedly and loudly he was talking until he realised he had even gather unwanted attention.
" we must not apparate harry. There's a medic car right out. We'll take that "
And harry nodded following him to the car.
__________________________
Draco opened his eyes to the room he immediately hated to be in.
" please let it be hell " Draco whispered under his breath
" you'd wish that wouldn't you ?" Someone asked. Draco roamed his eyes around the room to find a dark figured revealing itself.
" kind of was hoping that " Draco replied as he tried to get up but was met with help immediately, realising the dark figure was none other than harry.
" what are you doing here ?" Draco asked, wincing when Harry's hands accidentally touched his Wrist.
" oh- well- I think you should be asking what are you doing here " Harry gave him a small smile. He went across the room, Poured a glass of water and gave it to Draco, who took it without reluctance.
" well yes and that too " Draco nodded
" well let's start at the beginning, I had somehow an instinct that you had attempted suicide and ran up for it and then I bought you here " Harry grinned in a fake way.
" okay, now what's the actual reason ?"
Harry sighed, sitting down on the chair next to his bed " first I need you to answer if you're okay ?"
Draco frowned before whispering a small yes.
" I don't get it, how am I still here Harry ?"
Harry sucked in his cheeks thinking through to tell Someone how they're here who had wished upon to be dead until he decided, he deserved to know.
" I have news for you. Want to hear the good news or the bad news ?"
" what ? You know What whatever is fine. Just tell me the good news "Draco shook his head impatiently.
" well, your mom is on house arrest for 2 years with validation to leave the house only with aurors on duty and next, you've won the trial. But you are on probation for 6 months " harry replied, leaning back into his chair.
" I've won- how is that possible? I wasn't even there ?" Draco let his confusion entirely pour out without thinking through the fact that he was still talking to his arch nemesis.
" according to decree no. 40 of the laws and regulations of ministry of magic, a juvenile in life threatened situation, may or may not be present in the court to defend themselves if they have a defendants on their side to provide with relevant evidence "
" and who must be my defendant- it was you, wasn't it ?"
Harry sighed " I was. Not because I pitied you or anything. I was on your defense before you even tried to commit anything. I was only going to come and talk to you about the case when I found you, well covered In blood and unconscious "
" you didn't had to save me. I did it for a reason-"
" a reason that was absurd enough " harry fought back.
" you don't make my decisions for me potter. I make my own decisions and it was mine to do this to myself "
" so what, you just wanted me to leave you there to die, are you nuts ?" Harry frustratingly voiced.
" of course-"
" then I'm sorry to inform you, that's not me malfoy-"
" obviously because your saviour complex would never be able to do that. Leave someone to die. Haven't you got enough fame to be the saviour that you had save my life, again ?" Draco yelled despite being in a weak composure.
" it's not my saviour complex. It's humanity. I'd save any life that I can. Like I did on the night of the war just like you saved mine in the manor " Harry exhaled heavily not realising he had stood up.
" the entire wizarding world was on your shoulder. Your life mattered-"
" yours did too. You think your life doesn't matter, that nobody cares about it but I saw your mother cry when she saw your body in the hospital. I for the first time saw your father feel something, I saw your idiot of a friend pansy cry over. I saw my friends giving you condolences. I don't give a shit about how your life mattered or not , to me, it did and that's the end of it "
Agitated, Harry passed his hands through his hair, breathing heavily.
" it doesn't change anything, it still didn't matter. I decided to do this to myself and - is that bandage on your hand ?" Draco looked more closely at Harry's hands.
" what- yeah. That's well, you lost too much blood by the time we bought you here that they had to do blood transfusion. Muggle way. It was sort of my idea but your blood either matched with your father who by ministry's order couldn't get a free release. So it was me or him. They went for me "
" so- y- you donated your blood t- to me ?" Draco was flushed by either embarrassment or fondness.
" sort of yeah. I mean I had to " Harry sighed as he collapsed back into the chair.
" oh " Draco frowned as he looked down in his lap wondering what he should've said next.
" I did see your letter too " Harry said after momentary silence.
" why would you do it ? Haven't you saved my life enough times do it once again?" Draco was more touched than he allowed himself to be but the fact that the person he gave a reason to hate him his entire life, saved his life multiple times without hesitation, it rendered him completely foresaken.
" ma- draco, it isn't about how many times I save your life, it's that I know your worth saving.. it's hard to believe even for me but you're not the bad guy. You never were and that's the bottom line. You can call it my saviour complex but I've seen people die and- i- just could not see more people dying if I could save them. Don't you see it already, you're not meant to die, not right now atleast. That night you could've died in the fire but you didn't because you could've been saved and I did that. You tried to voluntarily die again, but then again, you were meant to be saved and there I was. And blood transfusion, again you were meant to be saves again-"
" by you-"
" it's not about me. It's that you always had someone around to make you live through, on every verge of death. Like me, I never die " harry chuckled lightly to cut the thick tension in the room and he knew he didn't fail when he saw a faint smile on draco's face.
" I know why you wanted to. I saw all the hateful letters and after everything I understand why you would want to stop living but the truth is, if there's someone who deserves to die more than you, should be me but yet here I am. Living another day "
When he met with no response, he dragged his chair closer to draco's bed and resumed speaking.
" there's been plenty of times I've wanted everything to just stop. Infinite times. I can list reason why I should give up, even when i wanted to I didn't.. I've literally got no family left of me draco but my friends. My heart ache to meet the people who could've raised me. Sirius was the only person close to a family I've ever gotten but then I lost him and I cannot tell you how much I had cried over losing him, I wanted that pain to just stop with voldemort practically living in my head, I didn't wanted to be the person I am as of today, I really wished for something different but I couldn't have it. I remember yelling at professor Dumbledore , throwing thing's at him even after losing him but I had no choice. I've wanted to give up so so many times, but I knew I couldn't, I shouldn't because there's people out there who still care. There's probably people in future that would care about you, and if not people your friend's, me" harry almost blushed at last
" you ? You care about me ?" Draco frowned
" I- it's- well- I wouldn't call it not Caring though but that's not the point. I've pretty much hated you all my life Malfoy, but even then you do not deserve to die. You've done awful things but none even close to killing Someone and you wanna know why, because you couldn't do it. I was there when you were supposed to kill Dumbledore, but I saw you lowering your wand. You didn't wanted to kill him and that's because you're not the bad guy, you're just someone with no choice, like me" harry pressed his lips in a thin line looking at the way draco was staring at him with a strange appreciation.
Draco remained silent. He knew that whatever harry said wasn't entirely going to stop him from feeling bad about himself but coming from harry, it meant to him a lot more than he could've ever expressed.
" why? I thought you always hated me, then the trial, my life ? I came to kill you the night of the war, how could you possibly want to defend me ?"
" did you really wanted to kill me ? If you wanted to, you Could've, instead of standing there talking to me. And about hate, trust me I had better people to hate than just you. And above everything, I knew you were innocent. I always knew it " harry replied shrugging.
Draco huffed out a breath of air still pondering over whether he should thank harry or throw him out of the window for saving his life.
" I can't believe you think I'm worth saving " draco whispered looking at his twitching fingers on his lap.
" I can't believe I was worth saving for you, twice " Harry gave him a small smile.
And draco couldn't say anything else. His anger dissolved somewhere in harry admitting that draco was worth saving and smiling at him and he couldn't find it in himself to be angry again. How can you mad at someone who gave an entire speech of to why you deserved to be saved.
" you said there's bad news . What is it ?" Draco finally asked at last
" oh- right- the bad news you're going to be under my observation because I was among the only defence on your case who cared enough to volunteer to look after. So voila you'll be staying with me in grimauld place, which by the way I think technically is still half yours "
" live with you ? Why ?"
" as I said, observation. Probation. And you are in no state to look after your own self "
" you aren't so yourself " draco scanned harry, not taking more than a moment to realise harry was himself not in the finest shape.
" well if that is- you look after me and I'll look after you. Let's make that a deal?" Harry actually, genuinely smiled.
Draco gave a low painful laugh nodding his head.
" I should go by the way. My visiting hours, starts again at night. So I'll meet you then. It's good to see you, alive again " harry stood up, pressing his hands against one another in a single clap.
" yea- I'll see you then " draco pressed his lips in a firm line, nodding at harry.
" alright " and harry walked towards the door.
" po- harry ?"
" yeah ?" Harry turned around only for a moment
" thank you and also sorry for everything I've put you through "
Harry smiled at draco " I've already forgiven you. Forgive your own self draco. It all starts there "
And with harry left, leaving draco to smile after exactly one minute of comprehending everything. Someone to look after him after everything didn't sound as bad anymore.
( the difference in my writing since I first wrote it and now, amazes me. Thank you for making me do this )

Draco Malfoys letter before he died
" Today I want to tell you a story of a fucked up family where a boy grew up with a father and mother who only quarrelled in the house and that man of the house didn't treat his women right like she was some pedestal he could stand on . A family where the dinners were silent and if talked , only talked about planning murders . A house which should've been a light Lavender was a House filled with black and less lights , just like their lives . A family where it was taught that love makes you weak and is for losers . A family where it was taught that bribing was your way towards everything . A family where the kid was afraid of his father . A family where the kid had been hit because he tried to befriend with some outsider . A family where the murder stories never ended . A family who worshipped the dark lord like he was a saint and gave him a shelter to Live . Would you even call it a house where it never felt like home but a prison !? A prison with relentless screaming , Snickers of death eaters , with blood almost always on the floor! Would you call it a home ?! Would you !
Did anyone even wonder what happened to that boy who lived in the house ! No Because why would they , after all he was the son of a death Eater ! But no-one wanted to hear his story , who he wanted to be , what he wanted and why he wanted . Nobody cared about how he felt scared everyday , nobody cared about how he lived in that house tucked away in the corner of his room , away from the world because it was his escape. Nobody cared to teach him how to treat other people but everyone judged him when he treated then wrong . Nobody cared who he was outside school because all they cared about was to hate him because he made them hate him . This boy grew up thinking love cannot run in his veins and there would be no one to tell him how to smile and how to treat people . This boy grew up thinking just like his father even if he never wanted to but this boy grew up being judged by the entire world. Oh what a crime it was to be a death eaters child but did anyone ask him that when the time came , did he wanted to he death Eater !? Did he feel proud when he got that ugly scar on his hand ? Why , no body asked him because it was his fate ?! Fate was it !
This is me , the boy who never knew love ! The boy with a fucked up family ! No body would believe if I had said I was forced to be death Eater , why would they ? After all it was my fate wasn't it ! Everyone thought I was proud to be one of them , did anyone ask me though ? No , why ? Because you were Afraid that my answer would be different and you'd not be able to see me as a slightly better person ?
People said I had a choice ! Do you really think so ? Sat amongst death eaters , a man who without a spell could kill my family , me and anyone I could call dear to me ! Do you think I had a choice when that lingering snake was over the dinner table who I've seen murder people everyday !? Do you think I had a choice when the dark lord was breathing on my neck asking me if my answer was a no ? Do you think I had a choice when my father was looking at me a threatening eyes ? Do you think I had a choice !? You think ? You call me a coward , maybe I am but tell me would you not have done the same if your family was at stake ? Wouldn't you do everything to protect them , to protect yourself ?
But everyone judged the born of the death Eater , not the saviour of the wizarding world ! Nobody judged him when he got played by dark lord to go to ministry of magic ! Nobody judged him when he gave up the prophecy because his friends lives were at stake ! Nobody judged Ron , Hermione or harry when they destroyed the gringotts because they had to get the horcruxes ! Nobody judged Ginny when she was possessed because she was small ?
Any of me comparing wouldn't count as anything , why , because they became legend and I became a taint on human being ! Because they saved lives and I didn't . Because they were on the right side and I wasn't . Because I wasn't as courageous enough as them? Because their stories for told and mine didn't !
But today the story ends here , tonight. I Draco malfoy confess to my sins because I don't know how much more hate can I take , I don't know how much judging I can take , I don't know how much more threating glances I can take . So tonight I do a favour of dying . For once I want to save myself from hatred but give myself to death
Crime committed :
son of a death Eater , suicide at 17
Yours truly
Draco Malfoy "

How to get away with murder?
Prompt used- Sitting on others lap | harry and draco get's assigned for a murder mystery as pretend boyfriends | TW- torture | ENEMIES TO LOVER |
" no Simon, get the hell out of here " robard yelled walking into the room
"now, my favourite aurors " robard grinned as he settled down in his office chair in front of his two employees.
" greetings robard " harry nodded
" morning " the other one greeted
" right, greetings can go on for hours. Now the actual reason I sufficed you here. This particular case has been up by from other aurors as their inability to actually being able to sort it and who better than you two. Cutting to the chase, you know I don't like to waste time. You two are going to work on this case together-"
" with draco, no way-"
" with harry, no way-"
They both glared at each other, narrowing their eyes.
" now now, don't kill each other right here. I know how much you two hate each other but this case is important for DMLE. The truth is you both have strengths which if put together can be put to greater use. Draco is great at analysing situations, detecting potions and previously casted magic and you harry, dear you're fast, you're smooth talker, your wand less magic, and your instincts. All of your traits can so easily solve this case and I want your heads in for that" robard looked at both of them expectedly.
" come on, give me an answer. It's your last case harry, it's all chase and fun " robard insisted
" you're leaving DMLE ?" Draco turned to harry. Harry nodded without Daring to look at him.
" finally understood you don't stand a chance here-"
" as you please Malfoy. I've caught more people than you ever have " harry rolled his eyes
" see this is why I chose you. Your determination-"
" will you stop with the ass licking robard. I'll do it but I must insist at places I'd like to work alone " harry sighed
" same for me. I like to have my space " draco replied.
" well it's settled then. You're in the case for Gary oakman " robard clapped his hands lightly, passing them the files he had fetched before hand. Picking up the files harry and draco almost left the room when robard stopped them.
" oh and you're going to be pretend boyfriends. Do your best, good luck " robard grinned and shut the door on their faces.
" what-"
" what -"
They both looked at each other with morbid shock.
__________________________
Harry pinched his nose tiredly as they went through the case together " I hate this case "
" tell me about it , this man didn't even have had that much money, no heir to pass onto, no wife or anything yet he's murdered " draco sighed as he leaned back into his chair.
" the bigger part is, no culprits, no victims "
" we do have a witness though, the house maid. Rosy I suppose " draco skimmed over her details.
Harry looked at the watch knowing he had stayed in his office for far longer than he normally did " anyways, I'm going to head home. We have to be there tomorrow so the packing. I suggest you do that too "
Draco looks at harry, then at the clock in the wall " in a few " and harry nodded before walking out.
The next morning they met in front of the ministry
" I want you two at the best behavior and I mean it " robard insisted
" I'll try my best to be on the best behavior with my fake boyfriend james " harry rolled his eyes as he checked his coat pockets for everything.
" can I still do the case individually?" Draco rolled his eyes
" draco, trust me, I have thought this through and you would do best at the disposal of your resources " robard sighed as he shook hands with both of them " off you go now. Don't forget to revise your history "
And with that harry and draco sat inside the car.
" I'm so excited " draco sarcastically scowled
" it would be a pleasure to work with you " harry narrowed his eyes at Draco equally sarcastically.
As obvious, they didn't talk through the journey, knowing that if conversed they would want to rip each other heads off. So they Only talked hurriedly when they reached the manor.
" you're james , I'm Derek. We've been together for 2 years, right ?" Harry reassured
" much to my displeasure " draco rolled his eyes as he took down his bags from the car
" best behavior my ass " harry sneered under his breath as he took out his own bags and waited for draco to join him towards the door.
" huh, I'm sure you could never afford such manor " draco said as he dragged his bags towards harry.
" funnily enough draco, I am the owner of a manor since I was 17. Jokes on you " harry grinned sarcastically as he walked forwards towards the gate.
" oh and by the way, I'm far more rich than you are considering I donate a lot of money to orphanages and such. Good deeds. But what would you know about it " harry smiled sharply. It fueled draco how Harry was insulting him with a smile, but man he wasn't lying.
" shall we put this banters aside and finally get to business ?" Harry asked at last. Draco nodded and suddenly the Manor's door opened and they met, Rosy, the housemaid.
" oh my darlings, you are finally here. We've been waiting for you for an hour. Heavy traffic huh ?" She smiled
" it was a little bit of traffic. You see my beautiful boyfriend, he got up a bit late. Sorry about the inconvenience " harry replied as he pulled draco towards him and intertwined their fingers.
" I'm really sorry, that's just me " draco smiled at the lady.
" no matter, no matter. You can leave the bags, the bell boys will take these. Shall we walk inside then ?" She asked with a warm smile
" of course. Shall we james ?" Harry asked draco as he swiftly pulled him more closer to vanish any suspicions.
" of course Darling " draco swore he threw up a little In his mouth.
And they walked towards the main door with harry appreciating the gardens and the vines and talking about the architecture of the windows and doors from the 1960s.
" we'll let you freshen up then. This would be your room. And since you're a couple we thought you wouldn't need two separate rooms, right ?" Rosy asked expectedly
" oh- no no of course not. We share the same room and trust me Ms. Rosy If you had given us separate rooms, I would've been in his room all the time " harry chuckled.
" well then it's no inconvenience. Your bags are already up here. The lunch is at 2, and then we'll give you the house tour. Oh and yes, that area is out of bounds " Rosy cheekily smiled and walked away.
Harry kept smiling until they had reached the room and closed the door behind him and draco immediately jerked his hands off harry..
" wow, I love my boyfriend " Harry sarcastically said.
" what was the hand holding for ?" Draco sneered
" uh- draco, couple's normally do that and if you want to be done with the case as soon as possible, you too have to do couple things even if you hate it. It's important that we raise no suspicions at all. One suspicion and we're dead, alright " harry explained as he took off his shoes and lined it up up on the rack.
Draco hated to admit but harry was right " I think it'd be better if we didn't use our actual names too then and- muffalito- use protection charms all the time "
Harry raised an eyebrow at Draco impressively " guess robard wasn't all wrong about you then "
Draco rolled his eyes at harry and disposed off his extra clothes onto the chair.
" I'll take the shower first " draco announced and went into the bathroom.
Harry didn't had time to react but couldn't even if he wanted to, knowing draco was still a huge pain in the ass.
_________________________
" how are you going to transfigure ?" Draco asked harry as he got ready for the actual investigation
" polyjuice potion " harry replied not even looking at Draco sitting over the study going through the reports.
" you do know it's effect only lasts 3 hours ?" Draco asked
" believe me d- james- I have taken polyjuice potion much more than it would be recommended to for a child" harry huffs as he put his auror coat in the suitcase and transfiguring it into a smaller bag.
" right, of course, the saviour had to do a lot to save us from the chambers of secret's " draco rolled his eyes and turned back to his reports.
" here take this coin. If you need me, just write on it.. not that we'd be far away anyways" harry said as he tossed the coin at Draco.
" how does it work ?" He asked
" just- I have another set of it. If you write something on it, I'll know it too. I used this back in DA meetings at school " harry double checked his pockets walking around in the room looking for his wand.
" clever " draco impressively frowned " here, your wand "
" thanks. And remember, don't raise suspicions" harry told Draco.
Rolling his eyes draco agreed and harry finally left the manor after greeting Rosy, getting ready to get back here again after transformation.
Harry returned half an hour later with his small team Including Ron and getting on with the investigation.
" Rosy, what's this all about ?" He heard someone ask as harry was standing just before the crime scene caution sign talking about the evidences found.
" oh, it's nothing. It was master's old bedroom. Mr. Gary. He passed away a couple weeks ago. These people think it's a murder and just barge in to investigate " Rosy sighed
" well that's too bad. My condolences Rosy. We hadn't known about it " draco sympathetically patted her back softly. Smiling to himself, harry got on with the investigation once again.
At night when harry had finally come back with reports and evidence he was met with a just out of shower draco.
" the water's still warm if you want to" draco told him as he softly patted towel over his head.
Harry nodded, dumping his reports and jackets over the chair and getting in the bathroom, smelling like Lavender and cinnamon.
It only took him 15 minutes in shower when he got out forgetting he didn't had his clothes.
" hey ma- james, can you pass me my clothes on the chair ?" Harry poked his head out of the bathroom.
He could've sworn he heard draco swear under his breath insulting harry.
" I can't find it, just come and take it yourself" draco called out.
Shrugging harry wrapped the towel around his lower body and got out of the bathroom, into the room to find his clothes.
" I left them h-"
" oh- I'm so sorry" Rosy had suddenly entered the room, turning her head in shame
" it's alright rosy. We- we just you know got out of the shower " harry gave her a little firm smile as he covered up his body with another towel.
" I- I'm really sorry. I will leave you two to it. Just bought some tea" she said without looking at them
" it's alright, leave them there, we'll call you if we need something " draco gave her a smile as he stepped closer to harry, putting his hand over Harry's shoulder in a physical gesture.
She nodded and embarrassingly left the room.
" just put on a damn shirt now, will you " draco rolled his eyes as he immediately created space between them.
" oh- I did not know that. I was planning on staying naked for the rest of the evening " harry rolled his eyes as he tried searching for his shirt until he saw draco.
" you're wearing my shirt "
" wha- oh. I didn't realise " draco looked down at his own blue shirt " no wonder it smells like shit"
Harry rolled his eyes " keep wearing it, I'll get myself another one " and he picked out another maroon shirt from the bag and wore it right there in the room.
" ahem- anyways, you got anything over the case ?" Draco asked turning around, giving harry his privacy.
" not a great deal. We would still have to go through every inch of that room and let me tell you, that rooms huge " harry huffed as he finally put on his pants and retrieved the files.
" here, these are the pictures I took today" harry displayed it over the table draco was sat on, ruffling his hair to dry them.
" wow- that's one- ha- stop dripping water over me "
" oh right- sorry" and Harry picked the towel again, drying his hair.
By the night, they decided to finally make an appearance downstairs for dinner.
" oh, I thought you'd had liked it in your room " rosy smiled
"we just thought it'd be nice to have dinner downstairs" harry smiled as he walked along with draco
" right, on the table then " she said and they made themselves comfortable over the dinner table.
" it's better than your manor " harry whispered to draco once they had settled in their Chairs. Draco narrowed his eyes at harry, giving him a scowl.
" here you go dears " rosy said as she placed plates one after the another.
" enjoy-"
" why don't you stay too. We'd like to get to know you, don't you think Derek ?" Draco asked smiling gently
" I think that would be brilliant " harry raised an eyebrow at Draco, impressed by his subtle approach.
With much hesitation rosy joined them, but not eating, just sitting further on a chair despite the insisted offer to join the table.
" pardon me mister's, I haven't been able to ask how you two met?" Rosy asked in Between
" oh- how we met- it's an interesting story actually-" draco stuttered
" we hated each other in school. But then we realised we only hated each other because we thought they had life easier. Infact we always liked each other and were too afraid to say it. So we put it into hate, until one day, I saw him alone in the school bathroom, crying and I consoled him, then I suppose we became friends and started dating after school " harry covered up for draco. Draco nodded along, amused but agreed to the story.
" that is so intriguing. I wish I could have a love like yours " Rosy grinned hopefully at them
" you know what, I think you'd get the love you deserve. And who knows might be very soon you meet the love of your life, like I have" draco smiled at rosy, drinking away his wine.
" I love you too james. I'm so glad I've met you " harry squeezed draco's hand across the table, making sure he raised no suspicions..
When they were finally done, harry insisted on helping through the kitchen, draco tagging along too when rosy spoke up
" you two make a very nice couple. I bet you don't fight a lot "
" we don-"
" oh we do, we do a lot. Who doesn't fight after all but we make up. We'd rather be with each other than anyone else. Right james ?" Harry smiled at draco, his cheeks hurting with smiling so much
" of course " draco smiled back at him as he intertwined their fingers and softly kissed Harry's knuckles. It was unfortunate that harry Blushed when he shouldn't had but with that craving physical touch, he couldn't resist.
" awh, look at you two "rosy happily sighed as he placed her hand over her chest as if touched by their relationship " oh look a mistletoe " she pointed
" a what ?" Draco's eyes suddenly widened, so did Harry's.
" there's a mistletoe " rosy pointed above their head
Harry forcefully chuckled "you don't believe in that thing, do you now rosy?"
" what's it with belief or not. It's a mistletoe. Always kiss under the mistletoe.. I mean it wouldn't matter much but make this lady happy " rosy happily said
Draco's opened his mouth to say something but unable to form any words he shut it close
" i- if that's what you want.. we're not such an open couple if you must know. Not into the public affection but for you rosy " harry gulped smiling pulling draco closer
" no suspicions " harry whispered very quietly to draco before pressing his lips against draco, tenderly kissing his soft lips, just for a few Seconds before breaking it off.
" is that how you'd normally kiss ?" Rosy asked
" what- no of course not rosy. We- we just you know save them for the bedroom, if you know what I mean " draco chuckled blushing.
Rosy's expression immediately changed " oh right, of course I understand "
" we should head to the room actually. It's getting late. We wouldn't want you staying up so late " harry said as he held draco's hands and started dragging him along with him.
Nodding, they finally left the kitchen and without so much of a suspicion made it to the room.
" you're sleeping on the couch for kissing me tonight " draco rolled his eyes as he dumped himself onto the bed.
" whatever " harry rolled his eyes and picked up his essentials and dumped onto the couch.
__________________________
" is everything fine with you two, Derek ?" Rosy asked as harry fetched the breakfast from her
" why do you ask ?" Harry frowned
" oh nothing- you just- I saw the couch with the blankets and everything and thought I- never mind, your personal life. I shouldn't intrude-"
" not at all rosy. Not at all. We just had a small Argument last night over something and, well it turned a bit ugly so I slept on the couch but I assure you, everything is fine " harry assured her taking two cups of coffee with him and heading back to the room.
" we've got a situation-" harry cut off when he saw draco wearing nothing but pants, getting ready for work.
Gulping harry broke out of it and casted a muffalito and gave draco the cup of coffee
" what happened ?" Draco asked as he pulled over a shirt.
" I think, it's a presumption, rosy knew I slept on the couch last night. She asked me about it and I don't want to raise any suspicions so let's not do the couch thing-"
" I've had enough with your no suspicions potter. We are not raising any suspicions. The only suspicion would be if it seemed as if our relationship was too perfect alright. Have some boundaries. I let it slide last night but you're never fucking kissing me again. That's the end of it. I don't give a shit if there was a mistletoe or anything, you better not do that again" draco snapped
" I can't believe you. You'd actually believe I'd enjoy kissing you, for fun or something. Please. Don't flatter yourself. I don't care if the case matters to you enough or not but this case is my last and I want to make the best of it. I don't want anything going wrong, even the slightest bit of suspicion that we're not a couple, anyone would figure out and we'd be dead before you know it. So suck it up because If you're working with me, you have to work with me " Harry snapped, pulling off his coat , taking his bag and slamming out of the manor.
Draco shut his eyes for a moment, sighing.
" everything alright dear ?" Suddenly someone asked.
Auror instincts immediately made him get up and reach for his wand when he realised it was Only rosy
" I thought i heard yelling " she said
" right- " Draco frowned, until he remembered clearly every single word from harry just before " we had a small Argument. We'd be fine.. if you don't mind, I'd like to be alone "
Rosy hurriedly nodded and left the room. It was not much later, draco too left the manor to come back again with harry for investigation.
" I think I know where to start. Talk with me tonight, yeah ?" Draco had told harry between work. Harry frowned but immediately nodded, waiting for the evening to arrive.

_________________________
2 weeks of pretending they didn't hate each other when they were in the same room, pretending they didn't almost disgusted themselves when they had to hold hands, pretending that they infact had the most perfect relationship. It was all too much. Some day's were fine, when it didn't feel like pretending but most of the time, it was pretending and they both couldn't wait for it to get over.
It was until the third and the final week, when Draco was fetching tea for harry and him when he noticed something.
" you look rather lovely today, rosy " draco complimented rosy with a smile.
Blushing furiously, she pushed a strand of her hair behind her hair, her sleeves sliding down a bit " thank you dear "
Draco finally gave her a genuine smile and walked off to the room and immediately casted a protection and silencing charms.
" I definitely have the lead "
" who ?" Harry asked as he buttoned up his shirt, draco ofcourse didn't pretend to notice it was the second time he had seen harry practically shirtless.
" not here " draco answered.
_______________________________
" are you absolutely, definitely, 100 percent sure ?" Harry asked when they had reached the door and put on the charms again.
" what's the first rule about investigating crime scene ?" Draco asked as he leaned over the table Harry was sitting opposite to.
" look for evidence " harry shrugged as if it was too obvious
" bingo. Exactly. A much skilled killer would make sure they never leave an evidence, it is infact the first priority but if someone did it for the first time, they tend to leave the evidence, mostly accidentally " draco's adrenaline pumped up as he cut to the chase.
" and you're saying you've found the evidence ?" Harry asked as he crossed his arm leaning backward into the chair.
" yes. Look what I found this morning. I was going through the evidence picture's yesterday, and look at this set of the picture. You see the dresser table, notice something familiar " draco pointed down at the picture, excitedly
" holy- shit that means-"
" yes- i noticed it this morning " draco widened his eyes In obvious surprise.
" holy shit- we've got it- we- dr- james- we got it. We got the killer " harry jumped from his chair and instinctively hugged draco, who too hugged back until they realised what they were doing and awkwardly separated away.
" we'll start at the beginning then. We can't arrest until we have the final words from the culprit themselves about it. Who, Where, When, Why, and How. We know who, we know where, we definitely know when, we need to know most importantly why and definitely how " harry said as he rubbed his Hands together grinning.
" this case finally got interesting " draco smirked at harry as he finally sat down on the chair.
" it definitely did " harry smirked back and sat down against draco.
" I can't imagine how I missed the detail " harry frowned
" it's alright. Can happen to anyone. I hadn't noticed it too until this morning " draco said nicely as he skimmed over the pages without looking up at harry..
Harry smiled warily " that's probably the nicest thing you've ever said to me "
Draco looked up, frowning " that's not true "
" it is " harry insisted
" what about- oh "
" exactly " harry bit his lip.
" I did say thank you for helping me with the trial though "
" you did..well this and that. Only two nicest thing you've ever said to me.. I appreciate it. You're good by the way. You make a nice auror " harry genuinely smiled at draco.
Draco frowned until it turned into a smile " why, thank you "
____________________________
" we have to find the key. There's no evident reason why they would commit such a crime" harry said as he flipped pages after pages in the files, frustratingly.
" don't worry-" he cut himself off and turned to harry.
" look at me ", frowning harry turned around to face draco, meeting with a thrust against the table, draco getting closer to him
" what- nmph-" Harry's hand collided with the table as his body pressed against it when Draco pushed him and kissed him over the lips. It was unexpected of how draco was kissing harry but it in the flow of the moment, harry kissed back. He enjoyed the sensation that sparked down his spine as draco's thigh adjusted between those of his own, his hands tugging Harry's shirt enclosing any distance left between them and the way draco was roughly making out with harry. It wasn't just a simple pleasurable kiss, it was a full fledged make out with draco's tongue grazing those of harry fighting for Dominance, his teeth biting off Harry's lower lip, emerging a moan from the back of Harry's throat. He let one of of his hand to rest against draco's back pulling him further in as harry deepened the kiss as if it would've been a Cardinal sin to not have the lustful, passionate, urgent make out. It was surprising of how draco had reciprocated the same but he had allowed himself to forget why he was kissing harry in the first place. He let himself drown in the moment, moaning softly as he felt Harry's tongue grazing his lip. They were kissing as if their lives depended on it, maybe it did but they had flown away in the moment that Only when they ran out of breath they separated and draco was faceplanted with reality again. He reached forward, his lips against harry's ear who without flinching let it happen.
" she's watching "
And harry immediately understood.
It was after work when they were walking back to the manor when they were discussing about the case.
" how did you figure she's watching ?"
" well I had my suspicions from the first week here when strangely the mistletoe thing happened and the next morning we had that argument. She had came in asked if everything was alright, since she thought she heard some yelling but if you vaguely recall you had planted the silencing charm, it would've been impossible for her to figure out but she had figured out, so I put an alert on one of the objects in the room if ever caught sight of that eye and this morning, it finally signalled " draco explained as he reached the gates of the manor and pushed open and walked inside
" she's one clever-rosy " harry stepped back
" welcome back, derek and James. Shall I get the coffee's before you go to your room ?"
" ah- of course " harry said as he suspiciously dumped his small transfigured case on the table while draco sat down on the chair.
" here you go " rosy grinned as she passed them the cup of coffee.
" I'd really like a biscuit rosy, if you don't mind" harry narrowed his eyes slightly at rosy. She nodded and walked away into the kitchen.
Harry immediately looked at Draco, who was holding the same expression that of his
" it's poisoned " draco whispered
" she knows " harry mouthed.
" here you go love" rosy said as he gave him the biscuit.
" actually you know rosy, I think I'd let this slide. I don't really feel like drinking coffee right now-"
" but I insist-"
" oh do you-" draco narrowed his eyes standing up
" of course, I do-"
" like you insisted Gary-" harry accused
" avada-"
" expelli-"
" stupefy "
Harry was thrown backwards harshly toward the back wall
" harry-"
" look behind " but it was too late, draco too was thrown back.
Harry groaned in pain as his fingers magically unnoticed moved the back furniture.
" I knew it exactly when you figured. When you refused to kiss that very night but you're much more clever than the old idiots who worked on the case " rosy tilted her face in a deadpanned expression.
" I'm definitely sure we're better " harry groaned still pulling off a smug look
" narcissist " rosy rolled her eyes.
She clicked her tongue in fake sympathy leaning down a little bit " he deserved to die, just so if you're wondering. He stole away this house from me. This house was supposed to be mine as his righteous daughter, too bad I wasn't a boy. Always underestimated me, called me squib, told me i didn't belong to this world, that I would never be half as good as any boy he could have, he sold this damn house. To whom, the stupid boy across the street. So I killed him before he could even write the will. Too bad for father" she clicked her tongue again.
Harry looked down at his lap, smirking when he finally looked up " you really are a bit more stupid than I thought"
" what did you just say !!" She yelled
" you're not that smart rosy " harry groaned, not moving even an inch
" you dare talk to me like that " rosy was pissed off. She should've hurt harry but she went in for draco, kicking him in the shin. But harry knew better to not so even flinch on the site of crime .
" tough boy " she frowned impressively as she grabbed Harry's face and squeezed it hard, slapping him away..
" I mean it rosy. You're not so smart. Wanna know why ?" Harry looked up with blood smearing his lips.
" enlighten me then potter boy " she raised an eyebrow, stepping back a little, just like harry wanted
" because you're not a killer because if you were, the first time you threw a spell at me, you didn't tie me down- bombarda " and the cabinet behind her broke in half, dragging rosy down with it.
She fell down painfully under the weight of the broken cabinet, groaning in pain.
" petrificus totalus " harry casted on her and she remained unmoved, her expression radiating anger.
" you really had to wait this long " draco groaned as harry lend him a hand to get up.
" it was the best of the show. Always keep them for the last draco " harry chuckled dusting off his clothes
" now for you my lovely rosy. Karma is gonna pay you. You know, voldemort's mother was just like you. Too bad she died. You're under arrest for the murder of Gary oakman, rosy Sheldon oakman " harry smiled at her and lifted her up and tying her to the chair.
" how did you know her entire name ?" Draco asked as he casted a message to the ministry for the team to arrive.
" you think you're the only one who figured out too soon. She have the exact same eyes as her father when she didn't wear contacts, it was that morning when she found out about our little fight" harry sighed.
" why didn't you tell me ?" Draco asked as he started putting on his auror uniform.
" I wasn't sure at least not until I found the details about her then same day when you told me about that broken earring from the picture and the morning you saw it"
Draco raised his eyebrows, surprised by Harry's neat skills " and the last move ?"
" never let your enemy know your last move " harry smirked
" you let me see " draco shrugged
" who said you're my enemy " harry smiled.
___________________________
" guess that pretend boyfriends worked out for you huh?" Ron teased chuckling
" I guess so " harry chuckled.
" your coffee " draco said as he bought the coffee and gave it to harry, placing a chaste kiss over Harry's cheek.
" When did this happen?"
" harry, dear boy. I- I can't begin to thank you enough for your services to the DMLE over the years " robard had said at celebration party
" oh it's nothing. It had been great working for the DMLE " harry replied as he took a glass of champagne from one of the waiters.
" it has been great whatsoever. You know I have to say I'm surprised how you returned back in one piece " robard joked
" why is that ?" Harry asked equally amused
" you were working with draco after all. Must've been quite few good fights and the hardest part of the case" robard frowned
" you'd be surprised " harry replied. Robard patted his back and finally engaged with other people to converse with.
Harry had been subtly enjoying his drink when robard decided to make a toast.
" hello, my dear fellows. You all must be tired so I'm going to cut this short" people chuckled forcing their attention on him " this is no ordinary party fella's. This is one farewell to one of our dearest workers, harry potter. I remember when he first joined the DMLE, not more than a little boy of 18 wanting to fight against the bad, he had that urge to prove himself, to push himself forward, to be the best.. and I've never regretted setting him up on any case. I've put you through so many life threatening cases and I do not regret to let you go harry, it was about time you took a break and finally looked after yourself.. we are losing a great auror, but this isn't a goodbye, harry, now is it. You'll be missed. To harry " robard raised his glass, people around the room clapping and raising the glass for harry too.
" so it's true, you're finally bidding goodbye to your savior complex "
Harry turned to his side smiling on recognising exactly who would use the word savior complex.
" sort of" harry chuckled.
Draco turned to face harry, a strange fondness etched upon his face with a light smile of solidarity.
" well- it's not going to be fun anymore" Draco whined playfully
" and why's that ?" Harry asked, light bouncing off his head.
" with you not here anymore, who would I have a competition with "
Harry shook his head laughing softly " strange way of saying you'd miss me "
Draco dramatically placed his hand over his chest " my, my. Me and missing you, in your dreams "
Harry laughed a little louder looking down at his champagne glass " it was nice working with you draco. You do make a great auror and with me out of the way, you can finally get the auror of the year badge "
" damn it, finally " draco pumped his Fist in fake victory until his smile turned into little laughter.
" you'll really be missed harry" draco finally said..
" I know. You will miss me the most " harry teased as he nudged his sides.
Blushing Draco rolled his eyes, nudging harry back " as if. I'm pretty sure you'd miss me more"
"I might, who knows " harry winked at Draco before he Walked away to talk with other people leaving draco entirely speechless, his thoughts running wild.
Exactly one hour later, they were found kissing behind the building. Better word, making out that is, ready to pounce on another.
" well it's a long story Ron, shall I begin from the time I was obsessed with stalking him or from the time I forgave him" harry asked knowingly fully well he was kidding
" or it might be first year, don't you think. I mean I was sort of into you to become friend's " draco suggested equally playfully as he sat down next to harry.
" oh god no, I've lived years of it, I can't- you guy's are such a cringe couple " Ron comically mimicked throwing up at harry holding draco's hands
" oh this cringes you out. Honey why don't you stand up -" draco obliged, before being pulled down into Harry's lap.
" how about you grind on-"
"no, no, merlin no. Hermione save me " Ron groaned as he got up and went to his girlfriend.
Draco broke into a fit of laughter in Harry's lap who too was chortling, instinctively hiding his face in draco's neck while one of his hand wrapped around Draco's torso.
" he's never going to forget this " harry laughed
" never " draco laughed looking down at harry until the laughter turned into a little smile.
" I think I might be falling for you " draco said as he pressed their heads together, sighing to himself, his hand cupping Harry's face.
" don't worry. I'm taking the fall with you " harry sighed and he softly kissed draco.
Well rosy didn't get away from murder after all but she indirectly put them together so every year, harry would send her a comical card on Christmas, all saying the same
" you didn't get away from murder. But you did get me and my boyfriend to make out, one plan of yours that didn't fail . Oh and my boyfriend says hi. With love, derek aka H"
Obviously rosy tore those cards down into shreds.
I did have fun writing this, however painful to see it being a flop. Happy reading.

" no Simon, get the hell out of here " robard yelled walking into the room
"now, my favourite aurors " robard grinned as he settled down in his office chair in front of his two employees.
" greetings robard " harry nodded
" morning " the other one greeted
" right, greetings can go on for hours. Now the actual reason I sufficed you here. This particular case has been up by from other aurors as their inability to actually being able to sort it and who better than you two. Cutting to the chase, you know I don't like to waste time. You two are going to work on this case together-"
" with draco, no way-"
" with harry, no way-"
They both glared at each other, narrowing their eyes.
" now now, don't kill each other right here. I know how much you two hate each other but this case is important for DMLE. The truth is you both have strengths which if put together can be put to greater use. Draco is great at analysing situations, detecting potions and previously casted magic and you harry, dear you're fast, you're smooth talker, your wand less magic, and your instincts. All of your traits can so easily solve this case and I want your heads in for that" robard looked at both of them expectedly.
" come on, give me an answer. It's your last case harry, it's all chase and fun " robard insisted
" you're leaving DMLE ?" Draco turned to harry. Harry nodded without Daring to look at him.
" finally understood you don't stand a chance here-"
" as you please Malfoy. I've caught more people than you ever have " harry rolled his eyes
" see this is why I chose you. Your determination-"
" will you stop with the ass licking robard. I'll do it but I must insist at places I'd like to work alone " harry sighed
" same for me. I like to have my space " draco replied.
" well it's settled then. You're in the case for Gary oakman " robard clapped his hands lightly, passing them the files he had fetched before hand. Picking up the files harry and draco almost left the room when robard stopped them.
" oh and you're going to be pretend boyfriends. Do your best, good luck " robard grinned and shut the door on their faces.
" what-"
" what -"
They both looked at each other with morbid shock.
__________________________
Harry pinched his nose tiredly as they went through the case together " I hate this case "
" tell me about it , this man didn't even have had that much money, no heir to pass onto, no wife or anything yet he's murdered " draco sighed as he leaned back into his chair.
" the bigger part is, no culprits, no victims "
" we do have a witness though, the house maid. Rosy I suppose " draco skimmed over her details.
Harry looked at the watch knowing he had stayed in his office for far longer than he normally did " anyways, I'm going to head home. We have to be there tomorrow so the packing. I suggest you do that too "
Draco looks at harry, then at the clock in the wall " in a few " and harry nodded before walking out.
The next morning they met in front of the ministry
" I want you two at the best behavior and I mean it " robard insisted
" I'll try my best to be on the best behavior with my fake boyfriend james " harry rolled his eyes as he checked his coat pockets for everything.
" can I still do the case individually?" Draco rolled his eyes
" draco, trust me, I have thought this through and you would do best at the disposal of your resources " robard sighed as he shook hands with both of them " off you go now. Don't forget to revise your history "
And with that harry and draco sat inside the car.
" I'm so excited " draco sarcastically scowled
" it would be a pleasure to work with you " harry narrowed his eyes at Draco equally sarcastically.
As obvious, they didn't talk through the journey, knowing that if conversed they would want to rip each other heads off. So they Only talked hurriedly when they reached the manor.
" you're james , I'm Derek. We've been together for 2 years, right ?" Harry reassured
" much to my displeasure " draco rolled his eyes as he took down his bags from the car
" best behavior my ass " harry sneered under his breath as he took out his own bags and waited for draco to join him towards the door.
" huh, I'm sure you could never afford such manor " draco said as he dragged his bags towards harry.
" funnily enough draco, I am the owner of a manor since I was 17. Jokes on you " harry grinned sarcastically as he walked forwards towards the gate.
" oh and by the way, I'm far more rich than you are considering I donate a lot of money to orphanages and such. Good deeds. But what would you know about it " harry smiled sharply. It fueled draco how Harry was insulting him with a smile, but man he wasn't lying.
" shall we put this banters aside and finally get to business ?" Harry asked at last. Draco nodded and suddenly the Manor's door opened and they met, Rosy, the housemaid.
" oh my darlings, you are finally here. We've been waiting for you for an hour. Heavy traffic huh ?" She smiled
" it was a little bit of traffic. You see my beautiful boyfriend, he got up a bit late. Sorry about the inconvenience " harry replied as he pulled draco towards him and intertwined their fingers.
" I'm really sorry, that's just me " draco smiled at the lady.
" no matter, no matter. You can leave the bags, the bell boys will take these. Shall we walk inside then ?" She asked with a warm smile
" of course. Shall we james ?" Harry asked draco as he swiftly pulled him more closer to vanish any suspicions.
" of course Darling " draco swore he threw up a little In his mouth.
And they walked towards the main door with harry appreciating the gardens and the vines and talking about the architecture of the windows and doors from the 1960s.
" we'll let you freshen up then. This would be your room. And since you're a couple we thought you wouldn't need two separate rooms, right ?" Rosy asked expectedly
" oh- no no of course not. We share the same room and trust me Ms. Rosy If you had given us separate rooms, I would've been in his room all the time " harry chuckled.
" well then it's no inconvenience. Your bags are already up here. The lunch is at 2, and then we'll give you the house tour. Oh and yes, that area is out of bounds " Rosy cheekily smiled and walked away.
Harry kept smiling until they had reached the room and closed the door behind him and draco immediately jerked his hands off harry..
" wow, I love my boyfriend " Harry sarcastically said.
" what was the hand holding for ?" Draco sneered
" uh- draco, couple's normally do that and if you want to be done with the case as soon as possible, you too have to do couple things even if you hate it. It's important that we raise no suspicions at all. One suspicion and we're dead, alright " harry explained as he took off his shoes and lined it up up on the rack.
Draco hated to admit but harry was right " I think it'd be better if we didn't use our actual names too then and- muffalito- use protection charms all the time "
Harry raised an eyebrow at Draco impressively " guess robard wasn't all wrong about you then "
Draco rolled his eyes at harry and disposed off his extra clothes onto the chair.
" I'll take the shower first " draco announced and went into the bathroom.
Harry didn't had time to react but couldn't even if he wanted to, knowing draco was still a huge pain in the ass.
_________________________
" how are you going to transfigure ?" Draco asked harry as he got ready for the actual investigation
" polyjuice potion " harry replied not even looking at Draco sitting over the study going through the reports.
" you do know it's effect only lasts 3 hours ?" Draco asked
" believe me d- james- I have taken polyjuice potion much more than it would be recommended to for a child" harry huffs as he put his auror coat in the suitcase and transfiguring it into a smaller bag.
" right, of course, the saviour had to do a lot to save us from the chambers of secret's " draco rolled his eyes and turned back to his reports.
" here take this coin. If you need me, just write on it.. not that we'd be far away anyways" harry said as he tossed the coin at Draco.
" how does it work ?" He asked
" just- I have another set of it. If you write something on it, I'll know it too. I used this back in DA meetings at school " harry double checked his pockets walking around in the room looking for his wand.
" clever " draco impressively frowned " here, your wand "
" thanks. And remeber, don't raise suspicions" harry told Draco.
Rolling his eyes draco agreed and harry finally left the manor after greeting Rosy, getting ready to get back here again after transformation.
Harry returned half an hour later with his small team Including Ron and getting on with the investigation.
" Rosy, what's this all about ?" He heard someone ask as harry was standing just before the crime scene caution sign talking about the evidences found.
" oh, it's nothing. It was master's old bedroom. Mr. Gary. He passed away a couple weeks ago. These people think it's a murder and just barge in to investigate " Rosy sighed
" well that's too bad. My condolences Rosy. We hadn't known about it " draco sympathetically patted her back softly. Smiling to himself, harry got on with the investigation once again.
At night when harry had finally come back with reports and evidence he was met with a just out of shower draco.
" the water's still warm if you want to" draco told him as he softly patted towel over his head.
Harry nodded, dumping his reports and jackets over the chair and getting in the bathroom, smelling like Lavender and cinnamon.
It only took him 15 minutes in shower when he got out forgetting he didn't had his clothes.
" hey ma- james, can you pass me my clothes on the chair ?" Harry poked his head out of the bathroom.
He could've sworn he heard draco swear under his breath insulting harry.
" I can't find it, just come and take it yourself" draco called out.
Shrugging harry wrapped the towel around his lower body and got out of the bathroom, into the room to find his clothes.
" I left them h-"
" oh- I'm so sorry" Rosy had suddenly entered the room, turning her head in shame
" it's alright rosy. We- we just you know got out of the shower " harry gave her a little firm smile as he covered up his body with another towel.
" I- I'm really sorry. I will leave you two to it. Just bought some tea" she said without looking at them
" it's alright, leave them there, we'll call you if we need something " draco gave her a smile as he stepped closer to harry, putting his hand over Harry's shoulder in a physical gesture.
She nodded and embarrassingly left the room.
" just put on a damn shirt now, will you " draco rolled his eyes as he immediately created space between them.
" oh- I did not know that. I was planning on staying naked for the rest of the evening " harry rolled his eyes as he tried searching for his shirt until he saw draco.
" you're wearing my shirt "
" wha- oh. I didn't realise " draco looked down at his own blue shirt " no wonder it smells like shit"
Harry rolled his eyes " keep wearing it, I'll get myself another one " and he picked out another maroon shirt from the bag and wore it right there in the room.
" ahem- anyways, you got anything over the case ?" Draco asked turning around, giving harry his privacy.
" not a great deal. We would still have to go through every inch of that room and let me tell you, that rooms huge " harry huffed as he finally put on his pants and retrieved the files.
" here, these are the pictures I took today" harry displayed it over the table draco was sat on, ruffling his hair to dry them.
" wow- that's one- ha- stop dripping water over me "
" oh right- sorry" and Harry picked the towel again, drying his hair.
By the night, they decided to finally make an appearance downstairs for dinner.
" oh, I thought you'd had liked it in your room " rosy smiled
"we just thought it'd be nice to have dinner downstairs" harry smiled as he walked along with draco
" right, on the table then " she said and they made themselves comfortable over the dinner table.
" it's better than your manor " harry whispered to draco once they had settled in their Chairs. Draco narrowed his eyes at harry, giving him a scowl.
" here you go dears " rosy said as she placed plates one after the another.
" enjoy-"
" why don't you stay too. We'd like to get to know you, don't you think Derek ?" Draco asked smiling gently
" I think that would be brilliant " harry raised an eyebrow at Draco, impressed by his subtle approach.
With much hesitation rosy joined them, but not eating, just sitting further on a chair despite the insisted offer to join the table.
" pardon me mister's, I haven't been able to ask how you two met?" Rosy asked in Between
" oh- how we met- it's an interesting story actually-" draco stuttered
" we hated each other in school. But then we realised we only hated each other because we thought they had life easier. Infact we always liked each other and were too afraid to say it. So we put it into hate, until one day, I saw him alone in the school bathroom, crying and I consoled him, then I suppose we became friends and started dating after school " harry covered up for draco. Draco nodded along, amused but agreed to the story.
" that is so intriguing. I wish I could have a love like yours " Rosy grinned hopefully at them
" you know what, I think you'd get the love you deserve. And who knows might be very soon you meet the love of your life, like I have" draco smiled at rosy, drinking away his wine.
" I love you too james. I'm so glad I've met you " harry squeezed draco's hand across the table, making sure he raised no suspicions..
When they were finally done, harry insisted on helping through the kitchen, draco tagging along too when rosy spoke up
" you two make a very nice couple. I bet you don't fight a lot "
" we don-"
" oh we do, we do a lot. Who doesn't fight after all but we make up. We'd rather be with each other than anyone else. Right james ?" Harry smiled at draco, his cheeks hurting with smiling so much
" of course " draco smiled back at him as he intertwined their fingers and softly kissed Harry's knuckles. It was unfortunate that harry Blushed when he shouldn't had but with that craving physical touch, he couldn't resist.
" awh, look at you two "rosy happily sighed as he placed her hand over her chest as if touched by their relationship " oh look a mistletoe " she pointed
" a what ?" Draco's eyes suddenly widened, so did Harry's.
" there's a mistletoe " rosy pointed above their head
Harry forcefully chuckled "you don't believe in that thing, do you now rosy?"
" what's it with belief or not. It's a mistletoe. Always kiss under the mistletoe.. I mean it wouldn't matter much but make this lady happy " rosy happily said
Draco's opened his mouth to say something but unable to form any words he shut it close
" i- if that's what you want.. we're not such an open couple if you must know. Not into the public affection but for you rosy " harry gulped smiling pulling draco closer
" no suspicions " harry whispered very quietly to draco before pressing his lips against draco, tenderly kissing his soft lips, just for a few Seconds before breaking it off.
" is that how you'd normally kiss ?" Rosy asked
" what- no of course not rosy. We- we just you know save them for the bedroom, if you know what I mean " draco chuckled blushing.
Rosy's expression immediately changed " oh right, of course I understand "
" we should head to the room actually. It's getting late. We wouldn't want you staying up so late " harry said as he held draco's hands and started dragging him along with him.
Nodding, they finally left the kitchen and without so much of a suspicion made it to the room.
" you're sleeping on the couch for kissing me tonight " draco rolled his eyes as he dumped himself onto the bed.
" whatever " harry rolled his eyes and picked up his essentials and dumped onto the couch.
__________________________
" is everything fine with you two, Derek ?" Rosy asked as harry fetched the breakfast from her
" why do you ask ?" Harry frowned
" oh nothing- you just- I saw the couch with the blankets and everything and thought I- never mind, your personal life. I shouldn't intrude-"
" not at all rosy. Not at all. We just had a small Argument last night over something and, well it turned a bit ugly so I slept on the couch but I assure you, everything is fine " harry assured her taking two cups of coffee with him and heading back to the room.
" we've got a situation-" harry cut off when he saw draco wearing nothing but pants, getting ready for work.
Gulping harry broke out of it and casted a muffalito and gave draco the cup of coffee
" what happened ?" Draco asked as he pulled over a shirt.
" I think, it's a presumption, rosy knew I slept on the couch last night. She asked me about it and I don't want to raise any suspicions so let's not do the couch thing-"
" I've had enough with your no suspicions potter. We are not raising any suspicions. The only suspicion would be if it seemed as if our relationship was too perfect alright. Have some boundaries. I let it slide last night but you're never fucking kissing me again. That's the end of the end of it. I don't give a shit if there was a mistletoe or anything, you better not do that again" draco snapped
" I can't believe you. You'd actually believe I'd enjoy kissing you, for fun or something. Please. Don't flatter yourself. I don't care if the case matters to you enough or not but this case is my last and I want to make the best of it. I don't want anything going wrong, even the slightest bit of suspicion that we're not a couple, anyone would figure out and we'd be dead before you know it. So suck it up because If you're working with me, you have to work with me " Harry snapped, pulling off his coat , taking his bag and slamming out of the manor.
Draco shut his eyes for a moment, sighing.
" everything alright dear ?" Suddenly someone asked.
Auror instincts immediately made him get up and reach for his wand when he realised it was Only rosy
" I thought i heard yelling " she said
" right- " Draco frowned, until he remembered clearly every single word from harry just before " we had a small Argument. We'd be fine.. if you don't mind, I'd like to be alone "
Rosy hurriedly nodded and left the room. It was not much later, draco too left the manor to come back again with harry for investigation.
" I think I know where to start. Talk with me tonight, yeah ?" Draco had told harry between work. Harry frowned but immediately nodded, waiting for the evening to arrive.

47. Stupid Teenage crush - part2
when life gave harry a second chance, he took it | fluff | angst | comfort |
Requested by - @cissa-bee @textrovert-01 and @littlebodybigheartttt and @thebusyfangirl, here's the comfort you seeked
Until the very morning of 4th October, an year and four months later when draco came like howling wind, knocking his door on the grimauld place, 12, everything changed, again, for the second time.
" draco ?" Harry frowned as he opened the door to allow draco into his little paradise.
How could he had expected such a thing, draco revealed he had been away for college, until he quit very recently precisely Because he was done people's puppet. He missed being around people who loved him, people who understood him but mostly in his time away from harry, he realised he missed him the most.
He was happy in his life , harry was. He had a boyfriend, nice friends, a place he called his own yet the scar draco left, stung, once again after harry had bandaged it nicely and covered it up. Days away, it should have Healed, he should've been used to draco's absence but seeing him only awoke feeling of warmth and home that harry himself hadn't known he missed. The scar resurfaced and shone in gold, and harry only wished that this time the wound won't need rendering.
However it was quick when Harry's friend's became his own and Friday nights became a thing. They spend hours chattering away, making fun and jokes, playing truth and dare without such a little care in the world. Harry and draco would even on some nights just live the night away, sneak out, running on grounds for far too late, skating on the ice, scaring people from under the invisibility cloak until a very night,he saw it. Draco watched as harry kissed his boyfriend, with his arm hanging around his neck from up where he sat on arm rest next to his boyfriend. Harry liked his boyfriend way more than draco had even thought about and somewhere in the corner of his little wretched traitorous heart, he felt lonely and jealous, guilty for being jealous. And to him, an old friend visted and draco consumed more alcohol in the bar than his body could suffice.
Days turned to weeks, into months, draco took his place back again in Harry's life only this time he reminded himself that he was with someone who made him happy but the thoughts of draco haunted him late at night, somedays it made him smile, somedays it left him confused, and somedays Just thinking. Draco started working in the pet shop just opposite of Harry's coffee shop, like harry had suggested, even lived with harry until Draco found his own place and all left harry giggling with draco as they walked back home together. He was still the same draco he had once known, he was still the draco who got giddy about eating chocolate cake ,who ate with elegance, who still loved to dress in Black but secretly loved white, still the one who loved to read in his free time when people thought of hanging out but this time harry didn't fall, he didn't, did he ?
" why him ? Why not me ?" Draco had said as soon as he had rung the bell of the place he too lived in when harry opened the door.
" what ?" Harry frowned as he tried pulling draco inside
" why him ? I thought you liked me ?" Draco seemed as though he might cry, or had been.
" what are you on about draco ?" Harry asked as he tried to pull draco inside again, only for his hands to be jerked away..
" you know it. You liked me first harry, so why him and not me ? " Draco stammered as he stepped nearer to Harry, grabbing him by his collar " you walk home with me, you talk to me, you live with me, you read with me, and you eat with me. You do everything with me and yet you're with him and not me harry..why are hurting me? Why ?"
" I like you harry..fuck i do and I know you're with that little of idiot with military cut but I can't change the way I feel. I'm sorry harry but I like you. And I think you should be with me but you're with him " before Harry had even anticipated anything, Draco had collapsed in a hug with harry, whispering in his neck that he liked him until Harry felt draco relax under his hold and fallen asleep.
Sighing harry picked draco up In his arm and helped him over to his bedroom and laying him over the bed, covering him up with sheets. Harry stared at Draco with his eyes shut, draco looked more relaxed than ever, the babyish like softness spread across draco's face, his lips poked out lightly. Harry smiled to himself, almost wanting to touch those lips, that face that shone brightly under the moon light but harry didn't. He didn't want to wake up draco just because he seemed at peace and harry was afraid he'll ruin it.
" because, I too once felt all that and I saw you choose someone else over me. I wish you'd came earlier " harry whispered in a reply as he kissed the top of draco's head with a smile.
" stay" draco grumbled as he held harry's hand and tucked into a little grasp avoiding harry from leaving. Like Someone who'd been in love, he stayed by waiting for draco to leave his arm until harry asleep by the bed, In draco's hold.
And Harry didn't think much upon anything or he lied to himself until the very next morning, draco entered the kitchen while harry was preparing breakfast. They sat down and ate in silence, silence that was quiet yet so loud.
" why are you here and not over at Andrew's ?" That was the first thing he asked harry when he abruptly stopped eating.
" because this is my place ?" Harry frowned
" no I mean why are you here making breakfast for me when you should be Making it for Andrew " draco sharply said.
" one, I don't have to make food for him just because he's my boyfriend-"
" will you stop pretending last night didn't happen ?" Draco sneered. And with that harry finally stopped eating and looked up at Draco.
" and do what with it ? You said something's and so what ? You were drunk out of your mind draco"
" so you're just going to pretend I didn't absolutely poured my heart out to you and you don't care because they were drunken words " Draco snapped
" okay, I don't know what's wrong with or you're Just grumpy-"
" stop pretending -"
" and do what draco ? Tell you that I can't believe you just said that ? Tell you that you had no right to say that ? Tell you that I like you too or something ? Stop pretending that it didn't happen and do exactly what draco" harry Snapped
" stop pretending that you are happy with Andrew " draco snapped
Harry clenched his jaw In anger as his fists clenched too by his side, slamming it over the table " you don't say about my relationship draco. He's Someone who actually likes me back and I'm happy with him " he snapped and stormed right out of the house, leaving the breakfast stranded.
Draco sighed heavily when he heard the door slam shut. He regretted even talking about it but what more could an injured heart do, still minimally drunk..
But Draco regretted it more when the House felt more empty and haunting when some portraits In the attic screeched Because of the thunder breaking out in the clouds. The drizzle only picked up by hours, sky darkening the clouds and the patio draco sat on waiting for harry blinked between dark and light as the light fused blinked in the quivering weather. In the hours harry was gone, draco had worriedly sat outside, made some tea, tried reading but nothing worked. Draco had ruined many things in life, a lot of them, even the relationship with theo when he learnt through theo harry liked him but if there was one thing he always wanted to protect was harry and he couldn't bear the thought of having almost ruined Everything as he stood under the rain, looking up at the sky for some sort of sign that would return.
And just as if someone had heard his prayer, the clouds grumbled loudly as a streak of lightening went off In the sky, draco heard the patio door open and there stood harry, all wet..
"harry-"
" no.. you- you just stay quiet and I'll talk"
" but Harry-"
" I said stay quiet "
And draco remained silent, waiting for his heart to be peirced open and cut into shreds.
" I knew it the day you came back, something had changed. I knew it and I hate you for coming back in my life. You had absolutely no right to do that after what you'd put me through. I was doing absolutely fine, had a boyfriend who liked me, a nice job, nice friends, family but you- you moronic fuck, ruined my relationship, ruined my peace, ruined everything, even me. You had no right to tell me you liked me, I waited endless months to hear that from you but not at this price, this ship had sailed draco and I don't want you" harry huffed as he saw even In the rain, draco's eyes glistening with tears
" but fuck I need you. It's not as if I can't live without you, without looking at your face, looking at your stupid face when you read something that confuses you, without seeing you smile, without seeing your eyes or just entirely your anatomical constitution of matter, I just don't want to. I want to look at you everyday, every single day of my life even if you're a complete arsehole and doesn't deserve this but I came back because I wanted to. Because I'm an idiot who still likes you after everything and all who can think of is kissing you just like I've Always wanted to " harry bit his lip as he finished his monologue, waiting for some sort of reaction but it was as if time had slowed down or that Maybe draco had expected something else that when he finally realised, he collapsed into happy sobs.
" I-"
" just fucking kiss me already " harry smiled in his own tears as he walked to draco and finally waited for draco to kiss him and he did . Draco pulled harry closer by the corner of his white sweater, all wet from the rain, softly putting his hands into harry neck, a little of Tickling into his hair as he kissed harry, blushing. Harry chuckled as he pulled draco closer, wrapping his arms around his waist, loving the feeling of draco's lips over his own.
And for once harry now knew, he wouldn't stay awake thinking what would had happened if he had ever kissed draco because he had and his life changed for the third time and this time, for forever.
Only if life gave me a second chance.
Thank you for making me write a part 2. Just want to let you know that if you've requested something, I have it under progress and I promise I'm trying to keep up with it.

47. Stupid Teenage crush
Prompt used- Touching their elbow to get their attention | ANGST | HURT COMFORT | IRL- based
To be 17 and to be in love, harry was no exception.
Harry saw it in his eyes, he really did.. but was he wrong. Was he so absolutely wrong...
They met in July again after years, last year. It wasn't such a special meet or something he could tell his kids about, it was just a simple meet with only a question being asked while they were doing potions homework. Harry was sat in the library doing his homework when he got stuck and desperately needed help and there he was, sitting in his black suit on the end of the table, scratching down his own work. Harry had asked for help in his notes, and without hesitation draco gave him his notebook and asked harry to return it to him whenever he wanted, as Long as it was before potions class. Harry had never thought of Draco differently until that moment he decided to help. Like a gentlemen, harry hurried the work and decided to hand draco his notebook before next potions lesson and so he did, that's when they hit it off when Draco tried to make a small conversation and it resulted into a long conversation on parchment in the classroom barely paying attention to the class.
From little conversations they went to long conversations to dropping draco off at the end of the day to his dorms and only then harry would walk away, smiling to himself. He didn't admit it to himself that he was slowly falling for draco until that very night harry was sitting on the floor talking with Ron and Hermione. It was like a random switch when Ron and Hermione shared a sweet simple kiss that it occurred to harry, he'd like to do it too, only the one he wanted to do it with was draco. It was journey from then, harry would wait to meet draco before class, would desperately make arrangements so he sat next to draco without dropping hints, walk back with him showing affection in his ways is teasing only because they were alone, hit him playfully, go to hogsmeade with him, eat with him, talk with him for Long hours after quidditch practices . Everything was brilliantly perfect for harry.
Draco looked at him the way only someone who liked you did, he locked eyes with across the room like no one else did, made him walk entire grounds off just so he didn't had to walk off to the dorms early and to spend more time with harry, draco never talked with anyone the way he did with harry, never was playful but with harry, he gave harry the smile only preserved for him. Everything between them was simply their own little secret and Harry felt wrecked. He felt warmth spread inside him everytime he saw draco. He felt, loved, happy when he was with him, something he thought he'd lost feeling of after the war but draco became something to quickly to Harry that he couldn't help anything but admire draco, even if he tried so hard not to. Harry spent his days daydreaming about being with draco, somewhere knowing that maybe draco too liked him.
He was relentlessly falling without caution until it was too late and harry experienced his first little heartbreak when he noticed the slight ways draco would flirt with Astoria. It only happened every once in a while, so harry didn't expect a lot but when one day because of being sick harry took a day off, he was next day met with draco's stories of walking back with Astoria, going to hogsmeade and eating with her. It bubbled little jealousy inside of him but harry had no right to be jealous, why did he ? He didn't love draco, did he? It was stupid crush, right ? A crush everyone have when they're 17, that'll die out soon ?
Harry should have been happy for him when he first heard draco admit he liked Astoria, he should've been happy for him and all he did gave him smile but he didn't walk back with him. He couldn't, he was too busy pushing his heart into the cage of no feelings for him but heart had to be one bratty little thing to fight back equally hard and harry remained all but cautiously falling, again I'm failed attempts to not fall.
Then the news came, Astoria dating Blaise, who had left school by now to associate his mother in business. Harry became relieved, only he was little more cautious to not let his heart be played but a man is only but a fool with none soldier to protect his heart when the blow hits. When they expanded their little circle, theo coming into their little circle, harry loved him too. He never had a friend like theo who hated the same things as his own, loved the same things as his own. It was easy to just blend into with theo but harry should've known better about the little hidden plans, the classes they took together that harry didn't with them. But theo knew, theo saw right through harry and remained committed to not only have harry have the opportunity when it came but also talk with harry about his little day dreams. But theo came with Astoria and when Astoria happened, harry said only but " I'm over draco, I don't like him" and that must've been his biggest mistake, Lying to himself and theo.
Days turned to weeks, into a month of final examinations, graduation coming nearer. Harry hadn't met draco or theo apart from little crossings in the library. But heart broken once should have known,
" hey, harry, can I ask you something ?" Theo asked as he pulled towards the corner one day In the library
" sure, go ahead " harry grinned as he shrugged
" I was hoping you won't get mad or anything because I know it would be wrong on my part, but just so you know, I am still your friend and if it makes you uncomfortable we won't do anything" theo babbled
" what's the matter theo ?" Harry frowned, worried for theo.
" d- harry- draco asked me out on a date after exams " theo swallowed.
Harry's face relaxed as he felt himself falling backward, only he wasn't. His heart sinked, his stomach felt funny and his toes curled. Harry gulped as he realised theo was waiting for some response.
" and I'm fine with it theo. It's really considerate of you to ask me but I've told you before theo, I'm over draco. He's a gone crush. I never even liked him that much you know. I stopped liking him after Astoria. I mean, really " harry chuckled softly as he smoothly lied .
Theo sighed in relief " thank god because I like him too but I just didn't want to hurt you because you know, you liked him. You're sure though, right ?"
" of course theo, of course " harry patted his shoulder " listen I gotta go, Hermione would kill me if I didn't study. See you around and definitely tell me about that date later, yeah " and harry rapidly walked off waving a goodbye with a smile until he turned around and his heart fell out of his chest. Harry thought and thought, thought hard as why couldn't he just simply get over draco. He hadn't seen him a month, Barely talked with him, he should not have felt saddened by the little revelation, he should've been happy for draco, he should have been. But he wasn't, he couldn't even after he so desperately tried.
It wasn't until the graduation day that harry saw draco finally. He was dressed in his characteristic dark green robes with a Slytherin bachelor hat, his degrees in his hands. Smiling he approached draco, almost touching his elbow to get his attention when he finally saw who was coming towards him and harry all but felt sickened again.
In his moments of weakness, harry never even realised when had he actually grabbed draco's elbow until Draco turned around with a sharp distracted smile
" harry " draco exclaimed happily
" h- hi , happy graduation " harry swallowed, fighting his breaking heart into pulling a smile.
" happy graduation to you too. You did great by the way. I'm so proud of you " draco grinned as he patted Harry's shoulder. Harry looked at his hand over his shoulder, wanting to touch it just so he could hold his hand but he didn't..
He wasn't Harry's.
Proudly harry pulled a better smile and savagely replied " bet you thought you'd be better than me "
Draco chuckled " never harry, you're Always the best "
And yet you're with him, not me.
Harry crackled a smile as theo too joined in and best pretended not to be completely heart broken by seeing the two being together.
That day harry understood if he ever understood anything, all wounds may heal but some wounds leaves scar and if too, somedays they may even sting but you gotta live through pain, because perhaps that was love.
I really want to write a part 2 to this. This one really had me thinking until the right inspiration hit, and here's something based of real life. Happy reading..

Here you go, this is fluff!!!
Taste of heaven
" I Always Wonder how did I get this lucky ?" Draco hummed as he stroked Harry's arms softly by his side.
Harry shifted a little so he was inclined on his elbows watching draco with a strange look " what do you mean ?"
" like- I- you and me. It just " draco breathed " it's unbelievable sometimes "
Harry smiled down at draco before he leaned down, softly kissing his cheeks and with other hand stroking behind Draco's ear.
" it's unbelievable but it is true " harry whispered..
" do- I mean-" draco swallowed looking up at the sky " do you ever think that given the chances you might want things differently?"
Harry leaned back, frowning. He gazed softly at draco who refused to meet his eyes.
Harry looked at him long enough to watch him stare up at the stars from the roof they were lying on before he huffed and laid back straight, his arms crossed under his head.
" i think it was somewhere in December of 1999, I was wandering off a random muggles Library when I was third wheeling Ron and Hermione when I came across this book. I obviously don't remember the title of the book but I remember vaguely what I read "
" can we talk about the fact you actually read ?" Draco chuckled next to him. Harry elbowed him before he snuck his arms beneath his head again.
" you always think I don't read. I do alright. Anyways, I was reading this book about recipes "
" you and recipes. Are you even the same person ?" Draco asked again jokingly, turning to his side watching harry. Harry snuck out one of his arms from under his head and followed into draco's palm, intertwining them in the air and playing his hands before he continued.
" you, listen this is the good part. now you would think it was normal recipe book But only it wasn't. The chef in the book had described everything and at the end of every recipe, he'd mention about what you can add as an alternative if you don't have a specific ingredient but they also mentioned that it will always taste differently because of the alternative item. Until there was this one recipe,this one dish, now listen carefully" harry paused watching their hands play with each other with the night sky as the background " that one recipe was for sandwich "
" what !" Draco exasperated as he leaned upwards to look at harry with an amused reaction, some strands of his hair falling over his face. Harry snuck out his other hand from under his head too and used it to brush Draco's strands away from his face, watching him fondly for moment's.
" no matter whatever you may add or whatever you may deduct, but a sandwich can never be prepared without bread. There is never an alternative for bread "
" that's obvious. In that way even chicken isn't chicken dish without it or pasta isn't pasta without actual pasta " draco rolled his eyes playfully before he collapsed on Harry's side again, his body turned to him.
" exactly. It's obvious. It's obvious that a sandwich is never a sandwich without bread and that a pasta a never pasta without a pasta " harry added.
" when I thought you were sharing a story, I really thought it was going to be a good one " draco scoffed playfully, watching him softly stroke Harry's hand.
" it is " harry replied before he turned to his side and met eyes with draco.
" you are the bread to my sandwich draco or like the pasta of my life. No matter whatever I put in, or whatever I try to replace it with or no matter how I prepare it, if it's plain or it's grilled, If it's filled with cheese or if it's just butter on bread. The sandwich is never a sandwich without bread, so isn't pasta pasta without it. And you are the sandwich to my bread. No matter whatever I try to replace you with or no matter how many alternatives I find if you or no matter if we separate or not for a while, no matter how much your thing's might bother me somedays I know that I cannot replace you. I know it because there is none like you, because you have no replacement, you have no alternative. You are one of a kind and I'd Rather have you than have nobody "
Draco stared at harry for long enough to feel his eyes prickle with little tears that dared not fell and the obvious feeling of his heart swelling in his chest. He bit his lip, trying to control the uncontrollable blush and that smile that refused to stop growing. And the love that only grew a few more hundred miles.
And he shook his head before he dropped his head over Harry's chest and rolled them over so draco was lying on Harry's chest while harry chuckled and tightened his arms around Draco's waist.
" you drive me crazy " draco mumbled kissing Harry's chest softly.
" I know" harry grinned as he kissed the top of draco's head.
The remained in that position with Harry's stroking his back too softly that even feather seemed too frictional in front of it and draco listening to Harry's heart beat. He never knew that a sound could ever be so addictively beautiful but then he was a fool in love, a sane fool and he loved it. He stayed there in the same position Until Draco lifted his head to look at harry who too looked back at him.
They poured into another eyes as if they were claiming their love in the late of night, or perhaps they were admiring the soft beauty of each other, or Maybe even thinking when did all of this happen but no matter what was thought or no matter how many breaths were taken, nothing matched the oozing love like it did when draco leaned upwards to kiss harry over the lips.
Maybe somewhere the world only thought that heaven was the most peaceful or that heaven could never be felt but only reached in afterlife but they knew their heaven was nowhere but here, in each other's arms, in those kisses, in soft humming of songs they sung that night, in those eye gazing they have grown to adore so much, in those intertwining fingers that sparked red fires inside their bodies, In those sweet smiles they shared, in those cuddles they did all night long on the roof tucked under the blankets staring at the sky. In love, there was heaven and it was theirs.
Their heaven was right here and no afterlife could ever bring that.
I think I might've deviated a little from both the requests but this was the best I could bring out. Just to mention, most requests are in my inbox and I promise I'm answering them one of by one. Cooperate with me.

Long story short, I lost the actual request.
Violinist in the rain
Maybe they were all right or maybe they were all wrong, who knows, love stories are born when they're written, only in tales but only few are born the way the way this one came into existence in the times of all that had been gone.
He was in love, he called it love, people could call him fool, an obsessed idiot maybe too but harry was in love with the enigmatic man he'd Always stalk from his window who'd only play violin when it rained. There was something so beautifully strange about the way that man so sleek and slender with his lanky coats would set a chair in the middle of the ramp and the way he played. No matter how breezy the rain was, no matter how harsh, no matter how soft, no matter the thunder, he'd play and he'd only play with the intensity of the rain. When it poured heavily, he'd play the most intense of tunes harry had ever heard and when it Rained in soft bliss, he'd play the softest tunes to ever exist. It was all as if in rain, he was trying to tell a story or Maybe understanding the story of the shower. Harry was in love.
To all whom he asked, they called him insane, called him a fool, called him naive for claiming he loved the boy across the street with no name, no identity, just referred as the violinist in the rain but harry was deterred to know who he was, how he was and why he was. He was often faced with a question as how could harry possibly be in love with a stranger but only if he could answer. It was as if he knew the violinist but then again he knew nothing but in all the times harry would stare from his window, it felt as if he was listening to him in ways that no one to walk upon the place we called Earth would've known. It was personal and it fastened Harry's heartbeat whenever he used to think about intimate everything was with so much distance.
Every inch of his body ached when he knew he couldn't see him or that he Only saw him in the rain. It only made his curiosity grow inside him, why must he only play in the rain ? Why must he only play in thunderstorm ? And harry was curious to find answers but he never understood how to. He was afraid that if he ever went to face him, he'd Run away and never come back but if he didn't, he'd never know who he is. He was dangling by a thin string and it was on harry how to balance.
And to him the idea came in the most bizarre ways while he was working in his office and he'd recieved a memo.
" OF COURSE " harry had yelled and excitedly say down once again.
The next time when it rained, harry made sure he wrote the simplest of memo " I like how you play " and sent it through his window to the violinist in the rain. Harry awaited like a passenger waiting for him to open the memo and only when the rain had stopped did he open the memo, read it and stashed it away on his pocket.
He did everytime it Rained for as long as he remembered adding something new each time, sometimes sent drawings harry occasionally drew of him and even sometimes song suggestions which he'd play in the next rain, but he never replied. He never did.
6 months, exactly 6 months it took harry to finally receive a reply back mentioned with thank you and small doodle of smile. Harry has squealed all day, smiling like a loon but could he blame. A man in love had finally received something more than a song and to him it seemed like a progress.
Another 3 weeks later when it rained, harry waited by his window waiting for the mystery man to arrive but it Rained for 5 hours, he never showed up. Harry only frowned till he slept.
Another 1 week later when it rained, he didn't show up again.
It was 3 more weeks in total when he didn't show up and harry drove crazy. It drove him too crazy that he stood in the rain like a maniac waiting but he never showed up. Frustrated with himself harry stashed all the remaining memo's he'd kept for future into the trash can and slept rather uncomfortably but harry knew better than to give up. He waited again the next night when it rained, and the night after and the night after until harry had enough. He was filled upto the brim that he bought the violin himself and played it in screeches with no tune or melody just for the satisfaction of it. But he didn't show up.
Harry wanted to give up but 3 more nights later the violinist in the rain showed up and immediately casted a stopping spell on Harry's fingers.
" I get your point. I only broke my violin and didn't had the money to buy new one" the man said as he remained under the hood, rain pouring down over every inch of his robe.
" will you play for me ?" Harry asked as he got up offering the violin to the other man.
With little hesitation the man took the violin, sat down on the chair and started playing while he remained there listening to him play like a child does when they are recited bed time Stories. To this day it was one of the best nights of his life.
The world might've called him a fool but his love was never wrong. His love was as strong as the thunderstorms that have remained hovering above us and the mountains in the Alps. He loved him with every fiber in his body and not once did he regret. This was his love story and the world could call him a fool but the Only foolishness he ever did was not asking him earlier.
He fell for the violinist in the rain and there Never existed any better love story.

have a great day. absolutely love your work <3
Thank you so much anon. Ngl since the moment I put out this list, I had been most excited to write this one out and I don't know how this one turned out.
Just petty things
Dialogue prompt- 15. You couldn't handle me even if I came with instructions | Fluff ( ig) | ENEMIES TO LOVERS |
"oh yeah, watch me malfoy " harry sneered taking the bottle of expensive champagne and pouring it down the drain with draco watching him with horror Struck upon his face
" oh, oops. Hope the bottle doesn't empties- oh wait- it already is empty " harry shook the bottle over draco's face in mockery
" you moron. It was fine champagne imported from France. Do you even know how much it costed ?" draco sneered at harry grabbing his wrists harshly
" what you gonna do about it? Ruin my food ? No wait, you actually already did that " Harry raised his eyebrows grinning viciously
Draco scowled at harry angrily before he jerked away Harry's hand's away.
" ruin my food one more time and I'll throw you out " harry threatened
Draco clenched his jaw angrily murdering harry inside his head..
" you wait and watch " draco challenged harry before he storming back to his room.
" oh yeah. I am sure I can handle you " harry yelled.
Draco turned around dramatically, his face red from all the anger " you couldn't handle me even if I came with instructions " he yelled and slammed his bedroom door shut.
Harry too stormed away in his room slamming the door after him, angrily. Bless those door hinges.
Despite the rivarly dying out ages ago and the reconciliation followed after that, they still annoyed the living death out of each other with petty fights almost everyday. Originally the apartment is Harry's but after Blaise had came to live with him, it partially became his until the moment Blaise wanted to settle down and move in with his girlfriend. So being the nice flatmate he was he got harry an anonymous partner who by claims had been extremely nice, organised, clean and a great friend. Of course Blaise didn't mention " also your childhood enemy " or he necessarily didn't. Either way it didn't work out of course but since the rent act started stirring up in the public, it became Incredibly hard for draco to find another apartment and now here they were, 2 months in living together, messing each other's daily life and petty fighting.
" I'm telling you Blaise, he drive's me nuts " harry groaned as he pointed at Draco.
" oh I drive you nuts, excuse me, you drained my entire fucking bottle of champagne, of course I'll drive you nuts " draco narrowed his eyes at harry.
" you Drained his bottle of champagne ?" Blaise asked harry with an amused reaction sitting on the centre couch.
" well- he- he cut all my avocados, scooped out the insides of it and left the seed and not only that, he added Scotch to my lasagna " harry accusing-ly pointed his finger at draco.
" you did that ?" Blaise laughed looking at Draco
" Blaiseee " harry sternly voiced
" oh, no you're Right. Of course, you shouldn't had done that no matter how good it actually was,you shouldn't had. You know he loves avocados " Blaise nodded.
" but-"
" no really draco. I mean it. He's very serious about his food, even when I lived with him " Blaise added
" I need him out of here " harry added
" what ? You can't do that-"
" I can, if you're forgetting this apartment is originally mine " harry interjected draco.
" okay, whoa whoa, calm down. Nobody's getting thrown out alright. Just take a deep breath and we'll talk about this- well your differences alright "
" you know it's all your fault. You should've never bought a flatmate without asking me "
" me? I thought I was helping you out " Blaise defended himself
" well clearly not " harry shook his eyes head with wide eyes, crossing his arms over his front.
Blaise huffed a breath gulping down the rest of his coffee and turned to draco.
" you want to move out ?"
" what- no. I mean yes I don't want to live with him but I don't want move out " draco replied furrowing his eyebrows.
" see, Harry, he doesn't want to move out-"
" he's doesn't want to live with me Blaise. Clearly we're on the same side " harry faked a smile at draco.
Blaise looked up at the ceiling in annoyance before he got up from the couch to make his point " do you both realise you're adult's. Because it seems otherwise. I'm tired of listening to your petty fights and the pranks and the revenge. Why can't you two just like normal civil people? I thought you both had reconciled "
" look I know it's hard for both of you but you guys are the most incredible flatmates I've ever had alright and I know you two are better than this. So please, just please starting acting like you're actually 22 and if you can't be around each other then just- just ignore another alright. Don't talk " Blaise raised his eyebrows waiting for a reply before harry did
" I can work with not talking " harry mumbled.
" I'm good at ignoring " draco mumbled too.
" see, now that's the spirit. Now I have to go,I have a lunch with Sophie's parents, can I trust the two of you to not get involved into another fight ?" Blaise asked with raised eyebrows.
" good " he huffed when neither replied and took his jacket and decided to walk out with harry and draco following after him.
" just " he breathed " be nice to each other alright. You don't even have to talk "
" we can handle ourselves. We're not kids " draco rolled his eyes
Blaise opened his mouth to say something but shut it right off and gave draco a firm smile and left, with almost zero hope that it worked out.
Well it only worked partially. They ignored each other of course but still couldn't bear the thought of the other, which was somehow a progress and Blaise was rather proud because for the first time in 2 months they didn't wanted to kill each other.
Or so he thought thing's were better until a week later when Draco found harry making out with someone on the couch in the living room. Well he was decent enough not to shout till the date left.
" I sleep on that couch sometimes " draco disgustingly said as a shiver ran down his spine.
" well that's your problem. You have perfect bedroom for sleeping " harry rolled his eyes opening the water bottle and drinking from it..
" I don't care, the couch is off limits " draco snapped
"you don't tell me what is off limits and what's not-"
" i sure can. This is as much as of an apartment as much as its your " draco threw at harry.
" well this is my house, I can kiss anyone I want, wherever I want and whenever I want and you cannot boss me " harry Snapped back stepping closer to draco to make his glaring more threatening.
Draco flared as he stepped closer " you can not "
" yes I can " harry titled his head
" you cannot " draco widened his eyes
" what you gonna do about it ?" Harry egged him on.
Draco breathed sharply before he stepped back throwing his hands in the air " I can't believe you. You think this, everything is yours. Why am I be surprised though, it has Always been yours , hasn't it. Oh I'm harry potter, the world is all mine, I am praised everywhere I go with posters still upon the wall with my huge fanbase and everybody gushing over me. I'm so great, I'm brilliant. Maybe I should get a pedestal to stand on, oh wait I already built myself one " draco shouted
Harry crushed the bottle in his hand before he jerked forward grabbing draco by his collar " you- fucking- asshole. You take that back "
" oh I'm sorry did that hurt you? I won't take it back, you wanna punch me for that " draco asked raised his eyebrows, his hands steady by his sides
" you do not fucking know anything about my life. I'm giving you a warning to shut up-"
" or what? You're gonna punch me, as if you have the guts " draco sneered
" don't tempt me malfoy-"
" oh, I am scared. Save it potter. You can never punch me " draco narrowed his eyes at harry
Harry heaved heavily as he grabbed onto draco's collar tighter but didn't make a move to actually punch him, though his anger was getting out of control.
" you know what, you were better before I got you out of prison. Should've left you there to die " harry didn't mean to say it out loud but he did and it took him exactly a second to realise what had he done and regret immediately flooded in him as he saw draco's lip twitch and the look of pain crossing his features.
" you're right. You should've left me there to die " draco Snapped before he jerked away from harry easily as he had loosened his grip and stormed out of the apartment taking his coat with him.
Harry huffed in annoyance, rubbing his hand over his face, swearing in himself and kicking the chair nearby in guilt and anger.
Despite living in the same apartment, harry didn't see draco at all for at least a week or more until harry was returning very late from work and wanted to silently sneak in after having thought the entire way back home how to makeup to draco when he realised he didn't had to when he saw draco sitting in the balcony with all the door's open..
" you could've at least shut the door. The entrie apartment will be cold now " harry cautiously said as he approached draco and Stood by the door.
Draco sniffed Before he mumbled a soft Apology and within a second harry realised something was wrong and went into the balcony where draco was now standing.
" hey, you alright ?" Harry asked as he carefully placed his palm over Harry's shoulder
" yeah- just something at work " draco mumbled turning away from harry.
" hey hey hey, it's alright, you can talk to me if you want"
" yeah like you'd want to listen " draco scoffed dabbing his face with a tissue.
" of couse I will. Why wouldn't I ?" Harry asked frowning.
" why would you ?" Draco questioned back
" well- i- because I do care and there shouldn't be a reason why not to " harry raised his shoulder before dropping again.
Draco looked at him for a moment before he looked away, chewing the insides of his cheeks.
" you don't have to. I understand. I just want you to know I'm here " harry said softly tilting his head so he knew Draco saw him through the corner of his eyes.
Harry Stood with him for a few minutes in silence until he understood that perhaps he wanted to be alone and decided to step back inside.
" I lied "
" what do you mean you lied ?" Harry asked as he turned around and stood next to draco again with his hands on the railings, watching him..
" I lied about what upset me. It's not my work. It's my parents " draco side glancing at harry.
" oh " harry Only replied
" they sent me a letter that they took down my name from the final will. So I'm well not going to get the manor "
" so you were crying because you don't get the manor ?" Harry pursed his lips to control the little laugh wanting to escape his lips.
Draco shook his head, in " I can't believe I even tried " and he stepped off the balcony to go back inside
" I'm kidding, obviously " harry stopped him, holding out his wrist from going.
" just trying to lighten your mood " harry shrugged. Draco looked at him nonchalantly for a moment before breathing out and standing next to harry again.
"so they took your name off the will ? What else ?" Harry asked as he leaned on the railing watching draco.
" it's-" he breathed " it's not about the manor or any other thing. I stopped caring about that a long time ago, it's just, after all this time I thought they'd accept me. And-" he bit the inside of his lip, closing his eyes " they still don't "
Harry's gaze softened and he spoke up " they probably never will and you'll have to live with it even if it's hard "
" I know but it's just- their acceptance matters the most to me even if I don't say it out loud but It hurts sometimes knowing that I can't stop caring. First they abandoned me, then disowned me from the joint account at gringotts, sold the cottage house under my name and the last thing I had left- they took my name off that. It's like they're doing everything possible to make it believable that I- I just- never existed , like simply erasing it " draco's eyes sparkled with tears and harry watched as draco tore down his walls unknowingly and only then harry approached a simple physical touch of holding his hand over the railing.
" your existence is with you draco. They're all just papers. Your life or your name or anything about you isn't decided by a piece of paper. Hell I'm the hottest bisexual in Britain by the witch weekly and I can bet my ass that I've seen hotter but it's just a paper "
Draco chuckled and harry gave him a smile.
" I know it upsets you and I understand what losing a family is like but you can always create your own family " harry contagiously smiled
" I'm gay potter " draco rolled his eyes with a smile.
" not the actual reproduced family. I mean your friends, they can be your family. It's time you choose your family, who doesn't take away a manor from you "
Draco smiled softly " but it still hurts"
Harry stepped closer to him looking him in the eye " it always will, but one day you're going to look at the whole thing and be like I still have a family and much better one infact"
" you really think so ?" Draco asked
" I know so " harry whispered smiling.
They stared at each other long enough until they realised how close they had been standing in that small balcony and harry cleared his throat to break the moment of unusual staring.
" you wanna stay out here for a while. I'll grab the blankets?" He asked
Draco opened his mouth to deny but instead he nodded with a smile and harry quickly went in to fetch the blankets and pillows with something to eat and joined draco back in the balcony..
" wait, you just came back from work, aren't you tired ?" Draco finally asked
Harry shook his head shrugging " I'm good " and they settled into the area with his back supported on the glass, sitting close enough..
" you're not always an asshole then " draco teased as they opened the packet of chips and sipped some butter beer..
Harry chuckled " well yeah " and he took some chips from the packet.
After moments of eating in silence draco finally turned to harry again and mumbled a small thanks.
" you don't have to thank me" harry replied looking back at Draco and keeping his gaze still at him.
" listen I'm sorry about the other day. I was just angry and you sort of boiled me a little and it just-"
" it's alright. I forgive you " draco gave harry a tender side smile and harry smiled back equally tender.
" can I kiss you ?" Draco asked after having stared at each other long enough to know that kissing was what was left.
" do you really want to ?" Harry asked looking at Draco's lips wanting to do the same.
" yes " draco mumbled as he leaned closer to harry.
" this changes everything draco" harry whispered when they were Only an inch apart, breathing in small breaths..
" I know. I want to " draco mumbled..
Harry bought his hands to draco's face, stroking his cheeks " are you absolutely sure ? I don't want you to regret this next morning "
" will you ?" Draco asked looking in Harry's eyes as a confirmation.
" I won't " harry replied as his heart beat More loudly.
" I won't either " draco mumbled and before Harry could've further asked anything else, he kissed him over the lips, sweet and slow at first then escalating to it becoming a need, leaving them both panting.
" you really are sure ?" Harry panted as they separated for air..
Draco rolled his eyes straddling harry, cupping his face " you ask me one more time and I'll make you question your entire life harry" and he kissed harry again tugging at his hair as harry encircled his arms around Draco's Waist pulling him closer, leaning his head upwards to kiss him more thoroughly..
And they remained there as Long as the night was still young, kissing each other, panting each other's breath, fighting for air, for Dominance and moaning. Just there, in the moment.
I understand I didn't necessarily made harry and draco already having feelings for each other but it seemed nice for a change to go with their flow.
(I don't know if literally anyone notices but my writing style varies a lot, personally not liking recently what I've been writing tho )
