One where they died together

For @drarrymicrofic prompt : sleepy

TW- DEATH!

" can you-" he gulped down his tears, bringing his breath back from erratic " can you- hold on to me ?"

Harry leaned down pressing his forehead against his, his tears dropping over draco's soft cheeks.

" of course " harry whimpered holding onto draco's wounded body.

Draco breathed in his scent, his tears, his eyes, his lips, his nose, his face, just him, retaining him in his memory one last time and he finally slept with his eyes closed shut and soul evaporating in dust.

Harry too had slept just after one more moment so he when he meet him again, he could tell draco how still beautiful he looked, how even in those moments he was more beautiful than that beautiful palace they got Buried under.

Random I guess.

Da Capo - part 4

Part 1 , 2 & 3

A capriccio or caprice (in Italian, capricci), is a piece of music, usually fairly free in form and of a lively character.

There was a weird itching or irk in a way as Harry longingly stared at his ceiling. The sound of the minute hand and second hand moving inside the glass of the watch was so incredible loud yet so unimaginably silent, you could only hear it if you wanted to, was harry trying to, perhaps. He was maybe waiting for the clock to strike 2 am just so he knew he could let go in the night. There's always been something so mystical or obscure or indefinite about the night that makes you raw, dangerous, vulnerable and maybe that's why harry was always afraid of the night, not the dark but the time where it comes to peel of your snake skin and show to the whole damn world who you are, who you have become, who you changed into. Harry might've loved the danger but this night, sleep didn't come to him, he was too busy thinking about the drenching in the rain and the river bank side, everything about it was turning into spontaneous reel ready to be put on for the show yet the reel was empty. The emptiness was Maybe because of the lack of the pretentious wall where there was nothing left to hide or maybe it were the emotions Harry had managed to conceal so well or buried underneath his skin so well that nobody but him knew what they were.

The clock stroke 2 am and the moving of the fan blades only offered so much distraction and harry got out of his own pretty bed with white cotton sheets and drank some water standing on the kitchen counter watching the phone with piercing gaze.

He stared at it long enough that impatiently without another thought after 10 minutes picked up the dialler, almost dialled the number, then stooped and went to bed, scurrying under his sheets and sleeping away the night.

But what happened the next morning was completely unexpected. Harry had just gotten out of his boring cubicle, losing jade in the crowd and ultimately landed up with some work to pair up the mannequin in a new fashionable way and harry was almost set into doing it when he heard the knock on the glass window he was working inside to design. Harry frowned as soon as his eyes landed on Draco standing there in a cute little Typical Paris beret and white oversized shirt with washed jeans. He wore those often.

Harry immediately went outside the building to meet Draco..

" how- how did you know I work here ?" Harry asked

" I didn't actually. I was passing by and I saw you and I thought I'd stop by and say hi " Draco replied tipping off on his toes then going back to standing on heels.

Harry pressed his lips in a thin line before replying " hi "

Draco grinned, bowing his head a little, then saying " hi "

They awkwardly stood there in silence hoping at least one of them would say something but fate maybe had others plans and jade interrupted.

" harry, June wants those new designs- and who might this gentlemen be ?" Jade asked smiling, offering her hand forward for a firm handshake with Draco.

" jade that's Draco, Draco that's jade. We work together, pretty much among the only few people I know around here " harry introduced them in the most awkward way possible and as if jade had sensed the awkwardness she spoke up.

"oh hey we're throwing a going away party for my roomate Tonight, why don't you come ?" She asked Draco.

" I- I'd-"

" we insist " harry urged

" I was about to say I will but now I think I really will have to despite the lie in my I will was I'd try " Draco tried to joke, failed miserably and then everything turned awkward once again.

" uh- I'm gonna go and get back to my work. You come to the party and harry, please be inside in five minutes " and she tipped back inside the building leaving them alone.

"so " harry whistled.

"So I guess I'll see you at the party, then " Draco " he perked his lips into a little pout before he turned a little so he could walk ahead anytime.

" uh Draco, not be to be awkward but you'd have to stop by my place Before you to the party " harry raised his eyebrows expectedly.

" why's that ?" Draco asked thoroughly confused.

" you- you don't know where she lives and I do therefore if you're going to the party I'd have to drop you off so that should explain why you'd need to stop by " harry bit the inside of his little Just a little in total subconsciousness waiting for Draco to Reply anytime soon.

Draco rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment chuckling in Little soft sounds before he nodded " I'd stop by. 8 works ?"

" I'll see you then " for some reason harry did the finger guns which Draco awkwardly stared at then practically huried inside leaving Draco just there.

" you're hopeless " jade smirked.

" thank you for telling me what I already knew " Harry gave her a moment smile then morphed his face into a serious one and getting back to work.

____________________

Harry was in the process of wearing his shirt when the door was repeatedly knocked on that he had to practically run for the door holding onto his shirt for dear life.

" thank you for that. Why couldn't you had just done this after the dog had eaten me alive " Draco shivered as he hurried inside once harry had let him in.

Harry chuckled shutting the door behind him then clothing his shirt buttons off and only then turned to Draco.

" that was mrs. Pierre's dog. Kind of a mix. He's really sweet once you get comfortable with him "

" with a face like that, Merlin I'm fine with pocket dogs " Draco rolled his eyes then sitting down on the sofa waiting for Harry to finish dressing up.

" you mean the actual pocket dog or the pomeranian ?" Harry asked leaning down to wear his shoes whilst sitting on a chair.

" there's an Actual pocket dog ?" Draco asked almost amused

" yeah " harry nodded then tying his shoe laces. Draco only nodded in pure amusement but didn't remain on the topic any longer.

" ready to go ?" Harry asked 5 minutes after having checked for everything being intact in the apartment.

" as ever " Draco nodded getting up, with a small bouquet in his hand.

" whats the bouquet for ?" Harry asked with an amusing smile grazed across his face.

" ah- well it's a going away party and I just thought- well- should I discard this ? I didn't know what else to do or bring ?" Draco hopelessly asked looking at his bouquet as if he was finding some flaw to just leave it behind..

" I'm kidding- just teasing. She'd love that actually.. a huge botany fan really " harry chuckled softly then without wasting time led both of them outside.

They walked for almost about 7 minutes until they finally reached the destination and approached the rooftop as adviced before and mingled into the little party.

It was a fun, secluded, good good-bye party in every since if Draco didn't absolutely wanted to rip off the bouquet he bought into shreds..

" would you stop with that staring? It's not gonna kill me " harry laughed lightly then drinking a bit more of his water.

" you said she was a botany fan " Draco glared at harry

" well- I bluffed like they do while playing cards " harry shrugged with a frown, putting his glass on the table.

" I hate you for this. Now everyone thinks I'm the weird guy with flowers " Draco rolled his eyes.

" who cares what they think, I'd be glad if someone bought me flowers in a party. Shows you care " harry bobbed his head in a single nod as if trying to emphasise that it was a naturally good deed.

Draco rolled his eyes at harry again, setting the bouquet down on the chair and finally mingling into the party night.

They must've been pretty off or having a very boring conversation or maybe jade was just lonely that she joined them by the fence.

" Draco, right ?"

" yeah, jade " Draco nodded shaking hands with her again..

" harry told me about you actually. That little touring around Paris. Harry have an odd way of seeing things " jade pointed at harry who just shrugged it off, he didn't mind seeing things differently.

" that is true but I'm not complaining. I loved the night, couldn't have been better " Draco smiled and harry allowed himself only for a moment if it were only a moment to just openly stare at draco and admire whatever he'd missed upon ever since his arrival. He allowed himself to drown again in the reminiscent of all he had moved on from but for this one little moment, he allowed himself to be sat on a boat that took him back to where it all started, just with simplicity.

" I assume you won't be here for long, when do you leave for home then ?" Harry had heard jade asked and it only hit him then that draco wasn't going to stay forever, he was going to leave at some point and it unconsciously made his heart clench that he didn't know could happen.

" actually in 2 more days "

" you're leaving on Monday ?" Harry asked without acknowledging that jade had opened her Mouth to say something but had immediately shut it down upon realising she no longer could say anything else.

" oh, yes. I leave on Monday " Draco smiled at harry.

Harry chose to drink instead.

Later that night when they had been walking back to Harry's place in the dead of the night, harry had allowed his wonderment to finally approach his lips and let the words slip before he could've wanted to stop them, but that was the irrational part of him and he said it even if he didn't.

" you didn't tell me you were leaving so soon "

" you never asked " Draco smiled.

The wind howled between them in a soft breeze and the leaves on the ground crunched as Harry nodded repeatedly walking down the pavement..

" you don't mind it, do you ?" Draco asked finally.

" oh no, you were bound to leave sometime. I just never asked. My fault " harry replied with a thin smile then took a sharp right to his place.

" but I should've told you " Draco added..

Yes, he should've so harry could've prepared himself more, prepared himself better but then again maybe he was too good of an actor to let it effect him at all anyways anymore.

" your can't possibly cover all of Paris in 2 days " harry said after a while.

" I couldn't even if I wanted to. Paris is not just a one day place, it's more than just that " Draco nodded.

Harry pushed his back back softly, running his hand through his hair as his shirt filled inside with air and he let himself wonder again of the time when he had first came to paris on a simple trip but the city has made him stay.

" it is more than just that " harry nodded too.

" you didn't see the special notre dame or the trocadero or the arc De Triomphe or the cruise. Pity " harry clicked his tounge as he watched ahead of the road finding it hard to believe that time had flown soo fast.

" but it's not like I saw nothing. I saw the top of the Eiffel tower, the carousel, dipped my feets in the water, the love lock brigde. For all I care, it's better than sitting on a cruise with a bunch of posh people who discuss golf or people who would constantly come up and say can you click a picture of us "

Harry laughed softly shaking his head " that was a terrible french accent "

" gosh I knew " Draco vigorously single bobbed his head for a damned emphasis but upon watching harry laugh louder little by little, he let himself laugh too at his own absurdity.

It didn't matter who stared at them or how many people they woke up with their obnoxious loud laughter,all they cared about was this moment. This one moment which ever In history could have been a turning point if harry had not just simply admired Draco at the moment or decided to secretly store away the sound of Draco Laughing, if he had only done something but like every poet, Harry has taken away pieces of Draco and stored it into his bleeding heart hoping that one day when he'd press the paper to his heart, it'd get blotched and would leave a remarkable print that even van Gogh could not have painted because it was Only his own. Like every poet, he'd scream in this poetry one day, he'd bleed in it like the rupturing veins of how he didn't peel off his snake skin that night.

" I wish I could stay forever " Draco said after a while in a patient sigh as he stopped over the bridge over the river to get to Harry's place just to admire everything around them in one more moment. Harry admired too in that one more moment where he watched Draco admiring, he let his quill dip into his vein for ink and he wrote,

He wishes too, he wishes too.

I think safe to say that the last two chapters had turned out pretty shorter than the first one's. Anywho.

Da Capo

Dialogue Prompt 16- " because I love you, is that what you wanted to hear " requested by @sunflowerishdolphin ( your last remaining request ) | TW- NONE |

Da Capo-(Italian: from the beginning); at the end of a piece of music or a section of it, means that it should be played or sung again from the beginning.

He shut the door behind him, locking immediately, putting those grocery bags on the counter and turned on the voice Machine , picking up the mails from the corner table reading who addressed them as he simultaneously heard the voice messages like his usual evening, a routine that had became a practice.

" you have 2 new messages "

" hey harry, this is Clint. Send me those pictures via e-mail, could you ? Call me when you get back "

Harry subconsciously nodded as he read the next mail addressed from the burrow.

" harry "

He stopped dead in his movements as he stared at the tiles on the floor, hearing that very familiar voice.

" I- I know I should not- you know- never mind. Uh, call me or not, whatever. Just- how do you end this-" the voice message echoed with rustling until it ended with a beep and harry couldn't bring himself to stop the beeping.

When one of the apple fell down over the ground creating a thud, harry broke free from his locked moment of strangeness and shut off the beep. He stared at the number long enough to remember his past, the horrors, the pain, the anguish, the agony of it all but he couldn't resist himself from Noting down the number on the notepad and just staring at it.

He had called, 1 year and 6 months later, he had called.

Harry left the notepad like it had been resting on the counter and went out to the garden to water his plants and get some peace from the quick Sand of the emotions that had started overwhelming in the presence of the noted down number. But it didn't help the rail of his thoughts that resulted in overflowing of the pots.

The evening had turned into a chilly night yet without a care he kept staring at the TV screen blankly, finding it hard to forget that voice message. That familiarity in the voice had almost Haunted harry every night in dreams and that un-advanced way of not knowing still how to end a voice message made harry smile if only for a moment but he was strongly reminded of how had things ended, in fights, In rush, in sadness, in heart break.

He wanted to call back and ask him why had he called, he even stood before the phone, dialing almost the entire number but could never gather the entire courage to actually call him back. How could he ? After everything that had happened, how could he?

It had been almost 1 and half year since harry moved to a small town in Paris living in a muggle suburb and still learning French but he had sat in his balcony drowning in rain, yet he never felt at home. He never wanted to leave Britain, London but what choice did he had but to leave everything behind and start new, a fresh start and yet all he felt was moving backwards. He loved it here, the neighborhood, the children on the streets, the grocery man, Adrian's little shop around the corner yet the smell of the Rain, the smell of laundry, the Blooming garden, the sunlight, nothing felt the same, not like how it was when he was with him. Nothing ever felt the same anymore .

Somewhere around blankly staring at the TV, the screen had Turned grey with no more left to watch when harry forcibly picked himself up and put himself to bed, relentlessly tossing and turning until sleep had returned to him like previous night's.

You can't stop thinking about me .

That's not true.

Do you really think so? Then why am I here ?

You tell me.

He sighed, his voice flourishing and sounding like the softest of breeze, you can feel it too, can't you, you know I will be there with you..

I can't feel anything. A pause.

You're coming?

Do you want me to ?

Harry tossed one last time, slowly opening his eyes in the silence of the night and the street light outside flickering with yellow and black. He sighed to himself as he sat right up and followed the line of sight to where the phone was kept.

" hi, draco, hi- uh, you called. I- didn't know about it- just got your message- I wanted to check what you called for so leave me a message or call me in the mor-"

" harry?"

Harry stilled with the phone pressed against his ear, his breathing sounding very clear like he had held the phone very close to himself as if holding it too close would make the conversation more real.

He stared at his feets on the ground comprehending how to respond, he had not expected draco to pick up-

" harry, you there ?"

" yeah, yeah. Uh sorry- I just- " he breathed " isn't it late ?"

" sort of yeah. I just- I came from a run "

" this late at night ?"

" yeah " he breathed.

Harry breathed.

" you called earlier ?"

" yeah " a long pause before he released a rolling breath and spoke again " I'm visiting Paris and I- I know you're there, so I was just wondering if you'd like to meet sometime if you're free of course ?"

Harry's fingers coiled to the telephone loop, a little smile forming over his lips as he whispered " Sure. When ?"

" this weekend "

" I'll pick you up ?"

" that'd be- nice " he breathed.

" okay "

" okay "

They breathed.

" I'll send the details via mail " he added

" okay "

And they finally cut the call but all harry did was stare at his feets on the ground crossed together as if it offered any peace.

_______________________________

The sun had rose like usual with the birds chirping just outside Harry's balcony, the usual ringing of his alarm clock went unnoticed as harry stepped out of the long shower. He padded across the room water dripping down his neck due to his washed hair, finally shutting off the Alarm. He stared at the watch as minutes stroke by, his mind lost in the moving of the minute hands until a shiver has ran down his spine and he dropped the clock on the bed and fetched the shirt and the pants he has decided to worn a day before. The same blue flowy shirt and the same Khaki pants.

Anxiety was not a surprise visitor anymore as harry fidgeted wearing his watch over his rest and tying his shoe laces that at some point, harry left them be thinking that if he'd fall, he'd fall. He ran all around the apartment going from one room to another to living room because his things were scattered all across until finally the clock stroke 12 and harry left the apartment in his second hand ford from 1985.

Harry leaned against his car in front of the France ministry of magic building waiting for draco to come with sun bouncing over his soft brunette hair, checking his watch every minute or two.

And there he was, the same boy walking through the door carrying 2 bags in a soft cotton red faded shirt and washed blue jeans.

" waited for long ?"he asked awkwardly.

Harry shook his head as he took his bags and dropped them in back seat.

" I- harry- I just wanted to ask something "

Harry frowned but nodded as he opened the car door for draco.

" this isn't awkward, is it ?"

Harry huffed out a breath, glancing behind draco for a moment. Was it awkward,of course but he Wanted to settle through the awkwardness and not be like one of those people who can't visit their ex.

" it is a bit but we'll settle in. After all we're friends, right ?"

Draco chuckled softly before he nodded " we can be "

Harry smiled before he stepped away and let draco take the passenger seat and settled into his driver's seat as well.

" Hungry ?" Harry asked as the ignition roared.

Draco nodded " very "

" I know just the place " harry smiled putting on his sunglasses and drove to exactly where he needed to.

________________________________

Things remained a bit awkward with draco as harry adjusted to all new information and forgot thinking of draco as an ex he scrambled away from and reminded himself more to treat him like the way he used to before the relationship happened.

But despite that the wicked angels that remained on Harry's shoulder reminded him to be careful this time and even if he harry heard them, he ignored as he served draco the croissant he has freshly picked up from the bakery around the corner.

" what about the eiffel tower ?" Draco asked as he sipped his lemon tea, taking the plate of croissant away from harry.

" it's overrated but worth it. It's better in the evening, I'll take you there " harry replied as he ate his own.

" oh shit- I forgot. I had to be at work 15 minutes ago. I'll see you later yeah " draco hurried with his baked food and picked up his bag he has came with and disapparated from within the apartment.

Harry collapsed down on the chair thinking to himself what was he doing. How could he just forget everything and move on and pretend like nothing happened like he had been doing for days. He hated the pretending, the " I'm doing fine without you " act or we're better as friends act, he hated it but as draco would come from the hotel every afternoon and sometimes stay by till the evening, harry would allow himself to relish in those moments and let be.

"the real question is do you really want to be friends or not ?" Jade asks as she dressed the mannequin with new shirt introduced in this work fashion line.

" i- i don't know jade. Do I want to forget everything and move forward, yes but I can't just look at him pretend we don't have a past " harry kicked the ground as he was leaned against the wall in the cubicle with jade and the white mannequin for display.

" Harry, the past is the past. It doesn't matter anymore. And you know the whole thing about ex's can't be friends,it's shit, I'm friends with my first boyfriend " jade replied with the pin between her lips as he tucked the buttons together.

" your first boyfriend is gay now. You're not helping jade-"

" look harry. Is it worth it ? Is it worth spending time with him? Is it worth meeting him again everyday ? Is it worth being friends with him again ? Those are the real questions " She asked with her head titled for emphasis, her hands in the air waiting for his response.

Harry sighed closing his eyes, opening them again and spoke " I think. He's changed a lot and he's different now"

" well there you go and you know what, even if you don't want to be friends or anything, he's just visiting. He's not going to stay here forever you know and you barely visit home, so friends or no friends, it won't matter much" jade shrugged as she put the mannequin the hat and stretched her neck backwards to check the entire look before nodding to herself and stepping out of the cubicle, harry following him.

" I guess you're right " harry mumbled. Jade nodded and they departed to their response departments of work.

When the evening arrived he met draco Outside his work building and strolled off to where they could disapparate from without being noticed.

" it's a beautiful place " draco suddenly said as they were walking down the streets.

" it is " harry hummed nodding, pocketing his hand.

" don't you ever-" Breath " like miss home ? Everyone else?" He asked

Harry thought for a moment before he replied with all he could think of " it's a part of starting fresh. I miss people back home but I love it here too, everyone's nice "

" but doesn't it ever get lonely ?" Draco asked as he now walked right by Harry's side.

" sometimes but other times I just forget " harry shrugged looking forward before crossing the road.

" forget what ?" Draco asked as he ran to maintain his pace with harry.

" forget that I'm lonely. The best way to not get lonely is just not to think of being lonely " harry shrugged as he for a moment looked at Draco before he entered the dark Empty alley.

" is it easy ?" Draco asked as he stood before harry taking his hand for side along disapparation.

Harry gazed at draco, allowing the free sensation of holding his hand making him feel closer to home before he took a step forward towards draco.

" no "

And disapparated.

Dialogue Prompt No.2- " Try not to die " request by @everlydream | Sorry for taking too long| Fluff ( sort of )

“So i got a new mission report “ harry fake grinned in success as he entered his shared office room 

“ oh is that so, what’s it about this time, missing cat?”draco raised an eyebrow at Harry in a returned sarcasm

“ oh no, no, that is your department, if i end up taking your work you’d be unemployed “harry tilted his head to the side with narrowed eyes and a fake smile

“ Well at least I don't steal credit, “ Draco rolled his eyes. Harry immediately reduced the distance between them, snapping his hand over the desk “ i did not steal the credit, he just happened to credit me for it “

“ And you didn’t deny, that is stealing the credit “ Draco taunted. 

“ whatever you want to believe, i know the truth “ harry flatly replied 

“ Yeah, like you stole my credit, “ Draco taunted again. Harry sneered at him, blabbering gibberish in the childlike argument. Draco chuckled as soon as Harry left the room with his case report file,mumbling to himself as an old lady.

They were enemies, of course, the one’s that had unknowingly been pining each other over for years and were obviously unaware of any said feelings and pretended every time that their hearts didn’t race whenever other entred the room, but every single one of their friends knew and had even tried teasing them about it but had always stayed in a state of denial. But then at the end, they weren’t enemies at all, they were just two oblivious people attracted to their so called nemesis. 

As the days went on harry’s case report became more dense and called more for his attention, his time, resulting in him hardly spending time in his office and as much Draco enjoyed having the shared office room to himself, he kind of waited for harry to walk into the office and have the tiniest of arguments but that didn’t happen; Draco pretended he was fine with everything and proudly told everyone how much he enjoyed not having harry being a pain in the ass. Pity what the actual truth was. He could almost get used to not having Harry around once he gets the promotion he was bound to have but he found himself slightly displeased with the inevitable fact, it was almost as if he enjoyed having Harry around and rolling his eyes at him if he was ever clumsy and tease him for being the chosen one, he enjoyed the little quips every once in a while even when he didn't mention it to Harry. It was almost like he came to the office everyday just so he could pull Harry’s leg but ever since the case report, he had entered to a very lonesome office and he found himself staring into space a lot and more frequently at harry’s unused desk. He wondered if that’s what’d it be like once Harry actually gets promoted, whether he’d visit him casually or would he just be situated in the other wing of the office that he’d only pass by Draco’s wing if he ever needed a junior to talk to or get to the shitty canteen and if he’d ever come to tease Draco or not. It was sort of empty in the office since his report and he had not so subtly asked some colleague about harry’s whereabouts and learnt that he stayed more in the field and would disperse home as soon as his work was done. It sort of made Draco furious and he didn’t understand why, even if the answer was right there inside of him but was dodging off the truth because he was either too scared of it or he felt that it was unethical. He also learnt that harry started remaining in the other side of the office building because of the library a lot and old case reports office because he needed old files and Draco only wished to see Harry again, even if it was an eye roll, to him it’d be a relief to know that his unknown ritual of rivalry wasn’t all broken even when it recently felt forgotten. Draco was upset about it even if he didn’t admit it to anyone or even to himself but he most definitely was. 

Upset and frustrated, he found himself not so subtly lurking around the library for 3 days just so he’d see harry even if he internally hated himself for it, he just reminded himself over and over again that he wanted to see that stupid round glasses idiotic prat, just once and so with not so much success he finally ran into harry. 

What he didn’t expect though was harry to just offer a smile and pass by him swiftly into another section of the library. Draco was planted with shock as he watched harry busying himself in the other section, it was almost too frustrating that without having a trail of any thoughts, he stomped behind Harry into the aisle he was in. 

“ Already sucking up people’s ass for promotion ?” Draco crossed his arms in front of his chest watching harry’s face turn into an amused reaction. 

“um, excuse me but what i’m doing is called working so i can actually take credit for my own work, also, yeah i talked with Jenna, she’s gonna credit you for the Simmon’s case “ harry genuinely smiled at Draco then again dug into his works. 

Draco huffed annoyingly as he took a few steps closer to harry. 

“ Since you’re still standing I’m assuming you need something from me ?” harry raised his eyebrows at him. 

“Well- if you had to be stuck with being a two goody shoes, you could’ve cleaned up your desk, its an absolute mess and its driving me crazy and i wouldn’t do it for you and you know that “ Draco rolled his eyes accusing him with pointed finger. 

Harry smiled amused before he nodded “ i’d stop by the office after hours and clean it up if its such a mess “ 

Draco chewed the inside of his cheeks “ that’s be great “ 

“Okay “ Harry replied and went back to reading again whilst Draco almost turned around to go back when he shut his eyes and turned around with a whip. 

“ And i also want don’t want your favor in getting the credit. I can get credit for my own self, i don’t need your help” 

Harry frowned “ Okay then “ 

Draco watched as Harry again went back to reading and he wanted to go back but his feet were as if fixated to the place and he didn’t feel as if he was quite done just yet, so he spoke again “ and one of my file is missing, so you better check in your pile of mess and return it back to me” 

Harry frowned again, sighing this time “ i said i’ll clean, alright. What’s the name of the file ?” 

Draco froze trying to think of how to reply to his made up lie that would seem true enough so Harry wouldn’t figure out the actual reason he was here. 

“ It’s uh- the file with- Amrontentia side effects “ 

“ You really need it? It’s a pretty old file, don’t you think?” Harry countered 

“Yes- but I need it to sort my files in alphabetical order “ Draco stuttered.

Harry nodded " fine, If I find it, I'll give it to you "

And Harry was almost back into his reading when Draco interrupted him yet again that Harry shut his book and arrogantly looked at Draco " you done or is there more to your life I've somehow messed up ?"

Draco frowned almost wanting to tell him another lie but instead what came out was "you've stopped coming to the office "

Harry blinked his eyes shut before he reopened them again " and that is a problem because ?"

" be-because of the- because it's occupying a space for someone who might actually use it" Draco lied

" Fine, I'll change my office then, that's what you want ?" Harry sighed

" no " Draco immediately denied

" Then what is it that you want because you're clearly just standing here making up a bunch of bullshit " Harry frowned at Draco holding an expression of inability to gather Draco's intentions.

"I- " Draco swallowed " it bothers me that you stopped coming to the office, it's just empty"

" it's not Empty Draco, there's you-"

" yes, but there isn't you " Draco slumped down a little bit in exaggeration.

Harry frowned at Draco until his confusion turned into a soft laugh " And you have a problem with me not being there, thought you Always wanted me out "

" Well, yes but- I don't know. I just- it's empty and I sort of hate it being Empty because then I have no one to taunt to about the mess because you're not damning there " Draco sighed frustratingly

"Wow, I did not know it bothered you so much, guess I'll try to come and stop by then,whenever you're in the office then " Harry smiled amusingly at Draco.

Draco rolled his eyes " yeah, sure that's what I want. I don't know even know why I tried "

He had turned around to walk away when he pulled by the back of his shirt, almost collapsing into Harry's chest.

" You miss me then " Harry teased now facing Draco.

" I don't miss you, I just dislike that your obnoxious ass isn't in the office room anymore " Draco rolled his eyes to hide the faint blush of embarrassment hitting him.

" isn't that just a fancy sentence to say you missed me ?" Harry teased,again, this time stepping closer to Draco but enough to maintain the distance.

" I didn't miss you "

" you're blushing Draco, of course you missed me " Harry chuckled

" I'm not blushing " but he so was.

" come on, you lurked around here for 3 days so you could find me. Admit it Draco you missed me " harry laughed.

Draco swallowed the inside of his cheeks to keep himself from forming a smile and posing an eye roll again to lie " I did not lurk so I could find you, I just happened to be here- because I needed a book. So Harry James Potter, I did not miss you "

" You just used my entire name, you only do that when you're lying-"

" I do not " Draco narrowed his eyes

" Yes you do. You do that when you're lying to me " Harry grinned

"Fine, whatever you want to believe " Draco shrugged, his back hitting the shelf behind him as he crossed his arms in front.

" Oh yes, I do believe you missed me, you just don't want to admit it that you missed me " Harry pointed

" I did not- Merlin, I did not miss you-"

" it's okay Draco-"

" but I did not miss you " Draco snapped lightly

" then why are you here ?" Harry asked raising his eyebrows knowing Draco was lying

" because of all the reasons I told you before " Draco emphasised.

Harry looked at Draco for a couple of moments before he stepped back, his hand defensively raised in the air as he shrugged "Alright then, I'll sort those things out "

" yes, you do that and we're sorted " Draco agreed. Harry nodded in head in agreement and placed the book back in the shelf leaving Draco alone to walk away or just silently be there watching harry.

In his humongous ego, he had almost walked off but he wanted to say one last time " just for the record I didn't miss you"

" alright, I know that now " harry shrugged.

" good " draco bobbed his head in confusion of how easily he dropped off the topic and decided to walk when something didn't feel right and he Walked back to harry.

" I really didn't miss you " Draco furrowed his eyebrows at harry as he was scanning the shelf for another book.

" yeah, I know that " Harry nodded.

" yes, I didn't-"

" Draco if you keep telling me the same thing over and over again, I'm pretty sure I'll assume you want to kiss me " Harry smirked.

Draco's mouth dropped open in exasperation as he said " I do not " but the blush that rose up in his cheeks was very much evident.

" alright " harry smirked, nodding at him and this time turning to face Draco " kiss me then and prove me that you don't want to "

" what? That's just- absurd- I don't want to kiss you " Draco replied in mocked shock not being able to believe that Harry had said something like that.

"Seems otherwise " Harry shrugged.

" what- no- you know what, I will prove you then that I so did not very much wanted to kiss you " Draco replied with each step taking closer to him and stood just before him, grabbed his collar and kissed him over the lips.

" there, I proved you, I didn't want to kiss you" Draco breathlessly replied after the kiss.

" seems like you wanted to otherwise you would not have kissed me " Harry smirked

" You just-nmph-" but the words were forgotten as this time harry leaned in and kissed Draco like he had always imagined it to be like. It wasn't chaste or soft or hard or rough, it was perfect as it was, appropriate and comforting. It was what it had to be and what they'd always imagined it'd be like yet it left them utterly breathless as minute by minute it grew more rushed and harder with Harry's hand against Draco's back pulling him closer and Draco's still loosely rested on his collar.

In erratic breathing when they separated, Draco immediately pressed his head against harry's neck, blushing furiously and faint smile pressed upon his lips.

" Seemed otherwise didn't it " harry mumbled with a smile.

" yo- you're still obnoxious " Draco replied putting his head from Harry's neck and looking at him with a smile.

" you're still bossy " Harry countered.

Draco rolled his eye but for once it didn't matter. It Didn't matter what quip it was or how sarcastic it was, the only thing that mattered was he finally kissed Harry.

" my case ends in a couple days, you can stop missing me then and I have field work tomorrow " Harry teased, his hand still around Draco's waist.

Draco rolled his eyes " Try not to die "

Harry chuckled a little too loudly in the silent library that Draco had to put his hand over his lips to shut him up.

" and you wonder why I hate you " Draco whispered rolling his eyes playfully.

" you don't hate me, you just kissed me " Harry whispered back grinning.

" if you're gonna boast about it, then we definitely shouldn't do this " Draco raised his eyebrows at Harry.

" please, I just kissed Draco Lucius Malfoy, I am gonna wear a sign saying that "

This time Draco chuckled " you're an idiot "

" an idiot you Just kissed " Harry teased again.

Draco shook his head with a smile " an idiot I just kissed "

Harry stared at Draco a little too fondly for a few moments making Draco blush harder for being stared at " stop staring "

" Let's go on a date " Harry blurted.

Draco should not had been surprised by such a sudden ask but he was " Okay "

" you choose the place, I'll pick you up " Harry added.

" okay " Draco smiled at harry.

And harry smiled at Draco " okay "

" we're gonna date then, you and me "Draco smiled

"yeah, you and me " Harry replied

" it's gonna be a disaster " Draco chuckled softly.

" eh, we always were a disaster anyway. It was about time " Harry casually frowned. Draco looked at him a minute too long before he erupted in little laughter, harry soon joining.

Yes, they were thrown out of the library for the context, but they did end up kissing, so they had their happy end.

salt 

Harry covered himself under the shade of the umbrella he bought and the sunlight hovering over the rest of his body. It was finally nice being at the beach to relax and to just be around nature. This was a much needed break from the over tiring work he had at the office, seeing files after files of immense amount of cases he had lost count of and everyone still fanning over him as soon as he’d walk in. It was just him, the beach, the sun, the soft music, nice wind, and natural sound of the trees wailing and the seals making noises far off in distance. He had laid his head back and closed his eyes after reading the magazine and had gotten only 5 minutes of relaxation when he heard the water whip harshly with something. He groaned to himself and raised his head, pushing his shades at the bridge of the nose and watched as his menace of a boyfriend walked towards Harry, embarrassed. 

Harry raised his eyebrows just as he stood by his bench. 

“ In case you didn’t know the water was awfully salty and definitely not tasty” 

Harry shook his head and laid his head back against his bench again smiling to himself “Menace” 

“ In my defense the fish was very very beautiful” Draco rolled his eye and collapsed on top of Harry. 

Harry let out a small laugh wrapping his arms around Draco’s torso instantly “ of course it was ”

The Decoration Disaster

Prompt Day 1- Holiday Decorating 

Harry peeked at the list once again and sighed in satisfaction upon realizing there’s only one thing left to buy and so without delay he entered the last shop. 

“ Christmas shopping huh ?” The shopkeeper smiled at him when he was billing his item. 

Harry nodded smiling knowing the man saw his other bags “ You know how it can be” 

“ Tell me all about it kid, been doing it for 30 years ” He chuckled and handed him his items and Harry left the store after wishing him a good day and a good christmas. 

He walked back down the streets, nowhere else to go but home. Christmas was probably the one time of the year Harry seemed to enjoy the most now despite of how much he didn’t enjoy it when he was a kid. In his life he had no complaints anymore, infact he have never lived a more merry life, especially now that he was finally settled in a good stable relationship and was infact their first christmas since they moved in together. As they all say when you meet the one, or when you fall in love, everyday seems like another day worth waking upto, he definitely took it seriously. But honestly after everything that Harry had been through he belives he deserved it now more than ever and he was more than Happy to share this holiday time with the man he loves too much. Sounds cliche, I know.

Harry entered his loft aka apartment, and settled the bags down over the kitchen isle and just then the door opened and the love of his life walked in.

" got the tree ?" Harry asked pacing towards him.

" of course" Draco smiled and he pulled Harry closer to himself making Harry circle his arms around his neck, tipping over his toes a little and placing a soft kiss on his nose.

" I missed you today " Harry smiled bumping his nose side by side with Draco as if he was a baby.

" I was only gone for a few hours, so were you. Geez if you can't survive a few hours without me then you'll die the moment I leave you " Draco teased.

" Well you can't leave anymore, because- you're mine " Harry replies placing a kiss over his lips for a short second " and if you'll leave I'll probably die so you know I'd only have to survive a second without you, I can handle that "

" Are you sure ?" Draco teased again.

Harry smiled then kissed him again, properly this time " No " he mumbled and resumed kissing him again.

They Only broke out of their session of making out against the door when the bag of bells and licorice dropped from Draco's hands to the side creating the sonorous sound.

" wow- you really went on it " Draco whispered against his lips.

" well I was giving you an example of what you'd miss if you leave me- so now you can't leave me- ever " Harry replied titling his head and grinning then stepped away and collected the bag from the ground, Draco joining along.

They walked into the kitchen and dropped the bags Draco bought over the counter and started looking briefly through things to make sure nothing was forgotten.

Just as Draco noticed Harry was about to speak up, he spoke up himself " the tree will be delivered, don't worry about it"

Harry shut his lips then smiled " I knew I chose the right man " Draco chuckled over it.

They spent the rest of the hour unpacking the bags and segregating the thing's they had to decorate the house with and the one's to decorate the tree with. After having done the final segregation Harry left to decided to get his toolbox and get started with the decorations.

Apparently decoration wasn't as much of a piece of a cake they assumed it to be because Draco liked all the wreaths to go on one wall but Harry liked one on each wall and since Harry was up on the ladder he could barely keep in mind the aligning of the tinsels they were trying to put in a shape of Christmas tree of and despite the fact that to Draco it seemed fine when Harry got off the ladder, they weren't.

" you said you were looking " Harry sighed

" I was " Draco whined " but your body was blocking half of it- and you know I can't resist looking at your body- so technically it's your fault " he shrugged taking another bite from his chocolate.

" oh put down that chocolate- it's already your fifth one " Harry scrunched his face snatching the box of chocolates away from Draco's hands and tossing them over the kitchen isle.

" again your fault- you bought them " Draco shrugged taking another bite from his chocolate.

Harry could had so easily been mad at him for being distracted instead of helping him out but with a face like Draco and him eating chocolate, the combination of getting mad didn't go so well and instead he started laughing and wrapped his arms around Draco from behind, keeping his chin over Draco's shoulder and kissing the side of his neck. Draco too covered Harry's hands with his own, interlocking their finger's.

" what do you say we don't change this decoration and let it be imperfect?" Harry suggested.

Draco frowned, impressed " I'd say I like that very much- It'll be like our improvised shit Christmas decorations "

Harry laughed " it would be- besides I like it the imperfect way- what matters is that we did it together- well you more than me, you just stood here eating chocolate " he strolled

" hey" Draco sang " I did help you- I didn't try to tackle you down the stairs despite my very very high desires to have you in your grey sweats "

Harry shook his head blushing. Draco still had that affect on him, even after two years but then it wasn't something he ever really complained about, he rather enjoyed it, especially when Draco him blush.

" Can you do the fire place for me ?" Harry asked unwrapping his arms from around Draco's.

" me ? Seriously- I'm not good at it " Draco complained.

" perfect then- we're going the bad way so It works perfectly well " Harry shrugged and 20 minutes later when he came back to check the fire place decoration he knew he was right to think that Draco had a talent of making anything look beautiful.

" thought you'd do it the bad way " Harry teased taking one chocolate out of the box and eating it.

" I did it the bad way first but then if someone comes over and asks who did the bad decorations it'll be easier to blame you- so- you're going down Harry Potter " Draco ended the sentence with a heavy challenging voice which only made Harry laugh harder than he thought possible.

" Baby trust me- that voice sounded like a 5 year old tried to do the monster voice " Harry said between laughs.

Draco rolled his eyes " one day you're gonna regret making fun of that voice- be ready to be scared one of these nights "

" then I'll be sure to sleep with my safety pillow" he still didn't stop laughing and at some point even though Draco tried to be mad he couldn't be so he ended up laughing at himself. But that was them, in their imperfect love bubble and it wasn't so bad after all.

At the end of the day when they had finished decorating the House with lights, garlands and few more tensils they had managed to make their apartment look perfect in their own way which they stored away in a small Polaroid and set it over the fire place.

The apartment had seen many holidays but this, it was the best Holidays that ever happened because after all Christmas isn't about the perfect tree or the perfect decorations or the perfect parties, sometimes it's just about having a few people over and making the best of Memories to carry on in the future.

Day 2 - Man in the Sketch

REQUESTS OPEN

MASTERLIST

Today marks the first day of the HP de-stress December i’ve decided to do. I’ll try to be as regular as possible even if I have to push things aside. I know how things had been lately ( busy ) but because I'm back to feeling slightly motivated. So Here’s to a christmasy December and Great holiday season.

Man in the sketch

Day 2- Butterbeer for @hpdestress December fluff fest

Typical December.

The snowfall outside took on slight of a rage before anyone could have even thought of an aid making them drench in mist and snowfall covering their eyelashes but Harry had been cleverer than the rest and saw it coming. It was typical of December especially around the holiday time to take such a turn but It didn't stop him from spending his afternoon in the Mama bouchè cafe at diagon alley.

" Its snowing pretty strong outside" Merwin, the waiter who was cleaning the table next to Harry said.

" same thing, another year" Harry chuckled.

Merwin nodded knowing he was right " How's the Sketches coming along ?"

Harry titled his head towards him " Honestly I got fed up of doing at home so I'm going to draw here today- sort of typical Before Christmas December here I guess-"

" or you can always draw me " Merwin posed with his right leg behind the left leg and leaning over the table.

Harry softly laughed then shook his head " As good of a poser you are I still have some incomplete works to do"

" Then I'll go back to my boring job" Merwin distastefully nodded then bid his byes.

Harry had known Merwin for long enough now to know that he apparently didn't like his job that much but the money here helped him pay his rent and his college fees which worked hand in hand. And despite that Harry would suggest him to leave often, he would only end the statement with " to get something , you gotta lose something. In this case, I lose my beautiful charm ". Merwin was an absolutely amazing guy but so out of reach for Harry and not because he couldn't date him or had anything wrong but Merwin was a couple years younger than Harry and that made them see each other more as brother-friend's than someone you'd date.

Harry took out from his bags the folders and files and lastly his case of brushes, pens and pencil and began working on his incomplete works. As something once his healer adviced him, to distract himself with something new once, he took it seriously and eventually created more than just a simple hobby for art. Now he drew almost every hour of his day he wasn't working, even on the trains he used to travel. To his friends it seemed a bit frustrating because he spent more time with his Sketchbook than them but at the end of the day, Art made Harry happy no matter how or why, it just did and he was glad that he had at least one thing nobody could take from him.

Halfway through the drawings he was doing, he had craned his neck to straighten his posture up when he looked around the cafe and noticed the guy on the other side of the table, his back facing Harry but there was something about the elegant way he was sitting that he reminded Harry of someone very vividly. The straight posture, elbows over the table and one leg crossed over another reminded him of Someone so strongly yet he couldn't pin who. Before he even knew he was abandoning his works and started a new drawing, of the guy sitting across tables.

Harry's hand worked faster by each second and his finger's running on mile high. His eyes moved from the man to his sketch book too fast that it seemed like he was only catching glimpses until the moment the man's head turned a little and Harry was able to notice the sweet, perfect shape of his nose, the pointed nose and the shape of his lips, very blurred but a peek was enough for Harry that he might be the most handsome man he had ever laid his eyes upon. He stared at him for a little too long and then longer than that, finding himself lost until the man turned again and Harry went back to his Sketchbook and erased the side of the head and started drawing the shape of his nose and small portion of lips he caught his eyes on. He worked very carefully on the miniscule details when suddenly he realised he needed to look again to just notice something but when he raised his head, he was gone.

" This is from the guy you were drawing" Merwin said with a smile and kept the mug of Butterbeer in front of Harry.

" who ?"

" him "Merwin pointed Harry's drawing.

Harry looked at the empty chair again and then sighed, he'd probably never see him again.

" did he say anything else ?" Harry asked

Merwin shrugged " I don't think so, just told me to give you a Butterbeer"

" Do you at least know his name ?" Harry asked

Merwin shook his head, apologising right after.

Harry shook his head too, giving him a smile.

Over the next few days as Harry visited the cafe often, stopped by to ask of that guy, even sat for long hours in hopes to see him again but it didn't happen. All his attempts unfortunately were failing and he couldn't do anything about it until the day when Harry was alone in the cafe and Merwin had taken a loo break when the door chimed and Harry instantly looked up. The man's head was covered in a scarf and hat but he knew it was him, he knew he was the man from the Sketches.

Harry had stared at him as he came and sat down, his back facing him and taking off his hat and the scarf. Harry could swore it was him but he will couldn't see him.

Just one look, one look is all he was asking for.

But as this day Harry started working on the eyes he saw as the man had walked into the cafe he felt the chair on his side being pulled and someone settling down.

" Butterbeer ?" The man smiled.

Harry smiled back " I knew it was you"

" of course it was me" He laughed lightly

" it's always you " Harry mumbled smiling.

" it's always me " he repeated.

" so Butterbeer ?"

" Sure " Harry smiled.

All I Want For Christmas Is You

Day 3- Holiday music 

The place swamped more and more as the snowfall grew stronger minute by minute. It was almost as if a blizzard had come but it was just typical Britain snowfall. Harry served minute after minute, keeping a content smile over his face as he served to people after people even though his feets were killing him and his back was practically dying to be stretched out but with the snow outside and the Holiday season overhead he barely had anytime, not even to stretch and like a cherry on top the new waiter just dropped the muffin and the coffee of a customer. 

“ You look at the counter, i’ll clean the- your mess” Harry told the new waiter and picked up the mop and the dustpan. The waiter scurried away in a slight fear that he was going to lose his job and went off to the counter like Harry had said so.

Harry stretched his back as he cleaned the floor along with the spill and took it to the back and stood there for a few moments, letting his exhaustion wear down a little but not even a second later the same waiter came in and asked for Harry’s help. 

“ Its one heck of a day” Harry mumbled to himself as he followed the waiter to the counter. 

“ How can I serve you today sir ?” Harry asked kindly

“ I ordered a blueberry muffin, instead I got a vanilla cupcake and I definitely did not order a latte yet somehow I have this “ The customer slid Harry the order the waiter had messed up. 

Harry looked at the waiter who held an apologetic look. He shook his head. 

“ Here- take this- chocolate brownies are our specialty- on the house and i’ll be right with you with your order” Harry easily said.

The customer smiled hesitantly at Harry then went back to his seat.

" Olli- I thought you were getting better" Harry scolded him a Little.

Olli, the new waiter Apologised again " I'll take the correct order"

Harry sighed then served the correct order on the plate and made him deliver.

He was about to tend the next customer when his phone kept on the counter rang, "Ferret". He pushed the ignore button instantly and rendered the needs of the customer but five more times in a row made him impatient and he was forced to leave the counter and to go in the back and pick up the call.

" what ?" Harry snapped lightly.

" Wow- wonder if every boyfriend treats their boyfriends like this or is it just me- a special treatment" Draco muttered.

" Draco- dear I don't have the time- I'm running on a very tight schedule- can this wait ?" Harry asked impatiently.

" I- Nevermind " Draco replied disappointed.

Harry sighed knowing he had ruined whatever Draco was about to say and even his mood.

" I'm sorry but it's just, the cafe is filled with people and the snow isn't helping either- I'm gonna be stuck here for a long time I suppose- I wish I could come home early"

" But this was supposed to be our dinner night" Draco whined a little

" I know- and I know I promised but I'm stuck- I wish I could do something but- yeah one second I'll be there- yeah- I wish I could come early, I really do but I'm just stuck " Harry explained.

Draco sighed on the call " I understand- I wish you could make time- it feels like you have a much more stressful job than I have when I am the one who have to look after students making dangerously new potions everyday "

Harry smiled to himself " I love you"

" I love you too" then eventually unwillingly they cut the call and Harry got back to work.

Almost 45 minutes later of still ever-growing crowd and serving back and forth, billing and cleaning the mess, the door chimed again and Harry had almost lost it if it wasn't for the familiar man turning the sign board of the cafe to closed.

" we can't be closed yet" Olli Whispered to Harry.

Harry shook his head and the man turned around and walked right upto the counter.

" Since you couldn't make time for me- I came for you- this goes two ways " Draco smiled at Harry.

He shook his head at the absurdity but he couldn't deny that seeing Draco had lit up his day more than anything had today.

" listen up everyone- this- all of you- tonight is a special night with my beloved boyfriend but apparently he couldn't make time for me- but I could and here I am and I know this is a very crowded place and everything but God- this is getting dull- so-"

" Karaoke " Olli whispered yelled.

Draco turned his head to Olli and nodded, smiling " jukebox- I know how much you love your work Harry but I want to be with you even if it means being with you here all night just watching you- so here I am even if you want to throw me out of the cafe but-" he paused and put in a quarter in the jukebox machine he bought, the song beginning to sing and Draco pointed his finger at Harry then sang along " All I want for christmas is you "

The place dissolved in short laughs and a warmer surrounding as Draco continued singing while watching Harry who was just leaning on the counter watching him sing his heart out. It wasn't long before Harry shook his head and jumped over the counter to Draco and pulled him closer by the scarf around his neck.

" You're an idiot you know that?"

" an idiot in love perhaps ?" Draco suggested.

Harry shook his head smiling " An idiot I love" and kissed Draco with everything he had, everything he had to hold himself back from the entire day and the love that ran in his body for Draco, all poured out into that one moment. The thing was that sometimes they can't make time for one another, Sometimes the work becomes too much that they end up not even seeing each other but no matter what happened or no matter what may come, Harry and Draco were sure of one thing, that Love doesn't just happen and end up in happy ever after. There are moments that hurt, there are moments that leads to fights, there are so many more moments of disappointment but instead of finding a reason to not be with each other, they'd run back home knowing that if love was somewhere for them, it was in each other, even if it meant that they had to work hard and put through a lot and they were proud to do whatever they could do be with each other, even if that singing in the middle of a busy cafe along to the Christmas songs. At the end of the day when they'd curl into each other, it would all be worth it.

Day 5- Holiday shopping (late edition) - @hpdestress

“ How about this ?” Harry asked taking the ornament in his hand and showing it to Draco. 

He turned his attention to Harry then shook his head “ Too much for someone like Owen- go for something plain ” 

Harry nodded and kept the ornament back on the shelf moving forward to the next shelf, a basket of gifts in his hand. 

“ How about a brochè for Martha ?” Draco asked from behind him. 

Harry turned immediately at his voice taking the brochè in his hand then looking at all its side “ Its pretty- she’ll love it” he smiled

“ Do you think we’re doing too much for them ?” Draco asked talking about their coworkers. 

“ I think they deserve it, a little bit ” Harry replied 

“ Really ?” Draco quizzically asked clearly knowing the sarcasm in his own voice. 

Harry chuckled “ Well no, but they expect from us ” 

Draco shook his head agreeing “ I don’t understand this, just because we’re their bosses” 

“ Yes and they expect it from us- How about this for Mike ?” Harry asked showing him the black cup with a small santa drawn over it riding a sleigh. 

“ Seems right enough ” Draco agreed and he too strolled forward picking up another thing and showing it to Harry and adding Merlin’s name to it. 

They went through shelf after shelf discussing which one to gift to whom and making jokes every once in a while about the people they worked with. It was hard as their bosses to find something decent enough to gift someone they hardly even knew, they thought they did but apparently not so much. However they had managed to buy every employee who worked with them they wanted to gift at least one or the other thing, some they might gift as a contribution together and some as individual, if they meant something to them.

They were on the billing counter waiting for every item to be covered in the bill when Harry asked suddenly " I never asked, what are your Christmas plans ?"

" oh-" he smiled " you know me- not so much. After your family basically packs your stuff and send em away by parcel one by one, you know it definitely can't mean you're invited- I'll go solo this Christmas"

" Geez- that bad huh" Harry clicked his tongue

" oh no- have you spent a Christmas with my family- I'm lucky to be alive right now" Draco replied sarcastically.

Harry chuckled paying for the gifts and picking them up from the counter along with Draco " you know- we do a dinner before Christmas day and spend the rest of the day just watching Christmas movies and apparently going to the church then setting a barbeque outside- with the Weasley's, you can join if you want, they won't mind?" He offered.

" oh no- I wouldn't want to intrude- I'm happy with my own sappy version of Christmas movie and Chinese take over. It's better that way" Draco smiled, denying sweetly.

" are you sure ?"

" sure, don't worry Potter, I won't die if for one day you won't be there " Draco teased.

Harry chuckled shaking his head then dropping him at his place before going to his own.

Just in a few days there was increasing craze of Christmas. The office ran a little wild with party before Christmas and tiny bit of booze and too many speeches by former Auror's and old man's, praising Everyone; altogether it was nice but a little too much for Harry to be around for long enough so he took a detour and went back to his office. He had almost unlocked the door when it opened from the inside and he was instantly welcomed by Draco.

" too much? " He scrunched his face, opening the door wide enough for Harry to walk inside.

" if I hear one more story about Christmas and kids, I'll actually die" Harry whined.

Draco laughed closing the door behind them and pouring a glass a champagne for Harry and himself.

" I took my cue half an hour ago, this party, definitely not my scene " Draco admitted.

" ah- it's boring anyways. What are you doing here, except taking a break from the party ?" Harry asked leaning back over the front of his table with his arms crossed.

" promise you won't lecture me ?" Draco asked Bringing his glass to Harry.

" I won't " Harry crossed his heart.

" working on some details of the case-"

" seriously ?" Harry smiled, amused.

" well- call me a nerd or whatever but this is my party " Draco shrugged.

Harry laughed setting his drink down on the table then getting hold of Draco's arms on his sides, forcing him to look at Harry.

" you're an incredible auror and you don't give yourself enough credit alright. You're only given this life once, you're too young, too handsome to be locked away Behind this door. Go out there, have fun, make friends, go on dates- stop this alright. I know Robin fucked you up a little bit but he wasn't your last shot at love Draco- there are going to be plenty, give u-them a chance" Harry smiled softly at him, an encouraging one.

" it's not about Robin- I'm over him-"

" oh yeah- why do you still wear the ring ? Come on, move on Draco- it's been so long, you're worth it alright and Robin was an idiot " Harry stepped closer to him, pushing a strand of hair behind his ear, still lingering his hand around his ear " you deserve to be treated so much more better, you deserve to be taken out on fancy dates and movie nights in the Middle of the night and to be spoilt, to be taken on surprise good adventures and to be held in arms closely and to be kissed every hour of everyday. You deserve someone who appreciates you for who you are- for how good you are and tells you everyday how much he loves you, you deserve to be reminded that you're too good to be true- you deserve someone who won't leave you, Someone who would hold you hand and never leave it- you deserve to be loved " He knew he got carried away but it was worth looking at Draco who looked back at him in awe and complete shock. Draco didn't try to step back at all, even with Harry's lingering hand around his ear or move his hand on his other arm or try to create a distance, instead he was breathing heavily and his gaze shifting often from Harry's eyes to his lips but nothing happened when it should've. Harry stepped away.

_______________________________

When the Christmas day arrived Harry's offer for Draco to spend Christmas with him was still open and it was tempting enough especially after what happened between them after the Christmas party but he denied every single time the thought raced across in his head.

It wasn't until he was ready to spend his Christmas the same old sappy way, with a sappy Christmas movie and a Chinese takeover when his eyes fell on his ring in his finger and Harry's word ran like a wildfire In his head. Robin fucked him up very much, but Harry was right, he wasn't his last shot at love. The truth was what he felt with Harry the other day was far from what he ever even felt for Robin, maybe it was stronger or maybe it was different but the utter desperation to kiss Harry that day had been stronger than he liked to admit and he hated that Harry had such an effect on him but day and night, he was the only thing he thought about.

It took far too Long to decide but the ring thrown away back in the box and a nice jumper and jeans thrown over himself he disapparated to where the offer stood still.

He walked dead and fast, pacing back and forth, chewing his nail out of nervousness right outside the door wondering whether he should knock or not, but soon the door opened and just the man he needed walked right out.

" I was hoping you'd come " Harry smiled shutting the door behind him.

" I-i don't know-"

" I'm glad you're here " Harry cut him off with a smile. Draco genuinely smiled back.

" I'm running down to the market to get something for the dinner, you want to come ?" Harry offered.

Draco nodded, agreeing to go along with him and just as they went he added " I hope all you said in the office, you implied your own self"

Harry shook his head laughing softly " I'd be a fool to deny"

In "that" phase

Day 6- Holiday cards @hpdestress

Harry grumbled lightly as he rubbed his eyes then opening them to find an empty bed. He got up sleepily, yawning then taking his feet off the bed and finally walking out of the room. He padded across the hallway, hearing the faint singing in the shower meaning Draco was using the washroom and he decided to get the newspaper and prepare the breakfast while he waits. Like a usual morning in the mid December, he walked out of the door in a lose robe then picked up the newspaper from the front door and walked right into the kitchen, setting coffee in the making and bread in the toaster and finally opening the newspaper to read the headlines. Typical morning, he realized, a robbery at the fifth, a new opening for a job, a new cafe being opened down the leaky cauldron, another muggle news, typical news, he grumbled to himself. 

The kettle whined and he took it off the stove then suddenly remembered he didn’t check the post and went out in the cold and fetched the post’s. After bringing them in, Harry assumed it must be the same typical messages he received daily until he was holding his coffee mug to his lip ready to drink when he came across an envelope addressed to both Harry and Draco. 

“ Morning, Love” Draco greeted, entering the kitchen in a red robe Harry had bought for him a couple of months ago. He kissed him on the cheek quickly and took a cup of coffee himself and bread out of the toaster. 

But Harry didn’t greet him yet. 

“ Babe?” Draco announced but still had Harry’s minimal attention. He rolled his eyes then wrapped his arms around his beloved’s torso “ I said good morning “ He said kissing his neck. 

“ We got a holiday card “ Harry said 

“ Then why are you telling me like its a divorce paper “ Draco chuckled. 

Harry rolled his eyes then dropped it on the counter and turned to face Draco whose arms were still wrapped around his own. 

“ I’m just saying cause its new for us, It was from Blaise and Ron “ Harry told him 

“ Really ?” Draco asked in complete surprise, picking up the holiday card from behind Harry “ Didn’t they just started dating like a couple months ago, they’re already on the holiday card stage” 

“ Exactly what I thought. They’d only been dating for- well almost an year but still, that’s a huge step to take don’t you think. In our first year, we didn’t even properly tell people who we were dating" Harry's expression dangled somewhere between him being proud and kind of shook at the same time.

" well- I guess then when you know, you know. Maybe they're really serious about each other and really are the ones for each other you know " Draco shrugged.

Harry smiled at him then ran his finger's through Draco's hair " do you think we are the holiday card sort of couple ?"

Draco thought for a moment then shook his head " Not really, I don't think it's our thing you know"

Harry gazed at him for a moment, contemplating what he had just said and also taken a back for a moment but forbade it to reflect on his face and instantly agreed with Draco " for sure- we aren't that couple "

His boyfriend then smiled at him, kissed him chastily over his lips and left the kitchen taking the coffee mug with him while Harry remained there watching the moving photograph of Ron and Blaise on a Christmas holiday card.

______________________________

" it didn't seem weird to you ?" Harry asked taking the plate of croissant with him while Ron collected the cup of Espresso's to the table.

" you know what was weird, knowing I had an erection for Blaise-"

" oh for Christ's sake Ron" Harry gagged.

Ron let out a laugh sitting down on the chair " works everytime "

" you've got to stop bringing this up. I know you're bisexual and stuff but please for the love of all that is good stop talking about your erection " Harry complained.

Ron stooped laughing taking the croissant from Harry's plate " I'm sorry but it's just your reaction is worth it "

" everytime ?"

" yep everytime. Anyways you were asking ?" He asked stuffing the croissant in his mouth.

" yeah- I mean you and Blaise have only been dating for what like 10 month's-"

" 11-"

"- right 11 months and you already know you're at the holiday card phase ?"

" what do you mean?" Ron asked genuinely confused

" you know what I mean. Every relationship have like it's stages you know, like giving your door keys, getting a mixed casette or the honeymoon phase and that finally fancy dinner phase where you know it's headed somewhere. So like you guys are already in the holiday card phase, didn't it feel fast to you guys? Like you're sending it out to families and stuff, it's like making it very official " Harry explained.

Ron smiled weirdly at him like he didn't get his point then shifted forward " Harry- we're not in a romantic comedy, it's all real. I get it there are stages in a relationship but it doesn't mean you have to do it in certain amount of months. When me and Blaise started going out it was already weird and awkward but fantastic at the same time, it didn't feel like our relationship had to have stages. We really like each other, hell we love each other and whether we end up together forever or not doesn't matter because we're here right now and honestly nothing has felt more right than doing that with him. It's like the most perfect thing"

Harry gazed at him for a few moments, letting his word's sink in. It made sense. All of it. Relationships doesn't necessarily have to have stages or steps for how fast or how slow it's going, it just have to keep going, that's all that matters.

" so you think me and Draco should-"

" nope, too soon" Ron replies stuffing Harry's left-over croissant.

" but it's been more than 2 years, almost 3 in a few weeks, how is it soon ? It feels right with him too you know- it's not just your relationship that's bloody perfect " Harry mumbled the last part.

" not a competition mate" Ron incoherently replied but years after being with him, Harry knew every word.

" really, soon?"

" see, it's not just soon- it's about whether Draco is in that place too or not and I don't think he is " Ron explained.

No matter how much it hurt Harry to even think that Draco was not there, he tried not to let it effect him or even think of it but seeing couples after couples all day and receiving holiday cards from all around the office, world even, it was hard not thinking of Draco, his boyfriend of over 2 years wasn't in that place yet and it frustrated him because he had no right to be frustrated with Draco because he had his right to think that way. It should not have mattered so much to Harry but he had known Draco for all his life, been great friends/ flirtatious friends before they even started dating, how were they not in the holiday card phase? The more Harry thought of it, the more it made him angry and upset making him ramble on to random people about they were in the phase of moving in together literally an year after they started dating and sleeping together on first date but they were not yet to the holiday card-

"- it's just a sweet gesture, how could he not be there ?" Harry asked, stressed.

" I don't know sir, I'm just here to deliver the parcel and I know this isn't the right place for me anymore" the courier guy replied. Harry stared at him and groaned and asked him to leave straight away after that.

He spent the rest of his day disappointed, frustrated, agitated, upset and in desperation to know in his office until it was time for him to leave and he went home as soon as possible without knowing why.

Upon reaching home he found out that Draco was running a couple minutes late and would be back after a few minutes or more so he had the flat to himself and he decided to use that time to take a bath, think about Draco and the phase, then get out of the bath and think about it again. This went for a long time, even after Draco had come home and they were sitting for dinner and Draco was talking about something that happened at work today, that's when Harry realised he couldn't take it anymore. He had to break the ice.

He immediately stopped eating, pushed his plate away and turned to Draco " we're not in the holiday card phase ?"

" what ?" Draco asked confused out of his mind.

" we're not in the holiday card phase. Sure Ron and Blaise can be in the holiday card after only 10 months-"

" 11 "

"- you- 11 months of dating but we can't be. Why is it so hard? Why are we not in that phase when it was perfectly fine when we slept on the first date or it was perfectly fine for you to give me a promise necklace 6 month's into dating or it perfectly fine when talked about me to your mother really early on in the relationship or it was perfectly fine when we ran away together for a while when we had only been together for few months. We've done all sort of random bullshit at the most irrational times without caring whether we should've done it or not or not even thinking whether it's slow or fast then why think of it now? Why aren't we an holiday card couple when we're so fucking serious about our relationship that I'd much rather die than being alone or without you, and I know you love me as much as I do, then why aren't we sending out holiday cards to family or friends ?" Harry rambled on in one breath and Draco did all and stared.

He raised his eyebrows and softly pushed his plate away and stood up from the table, walking away.

" what ? So you're not going to reply to me now ?" Harry interjected but it seemed from his point of view that Draco was searching something in his work bag and when he finally did, he Returned back to the table with a small envelope in his hand.

" open it " Draco commanded.

Despite the irrationally that ran wild in Harry's mind, he took the envelope and opened it.

"- holiday card" he looked at the card with Harry and Draco's picture from their first Christmas together in awe " you got it made "

" yeah- now if you weren't going to throw a temper at me I'd had kept it a surprise but apparently you're not very good with them so be ready for an already planned proposal " Draco replied casually gulping his water.

Harry immediately looked up, morbid shock over his face "pr-proposal ?"

" what? There isn't going to be one? Don't tell me you're wasting my time-"

" No- it's just-"

" you never expected it ?" Draco smiled and Harry shook his head.

Draco got up from his own seat and sat down on Harry's lap, running his hand behind his ear " you really thought we weren't in that phase when I've always been ready to give my heart out to you. I love you Harry, more than anyone or anything I've ever loved in my life before, even my own self- you really think I'm going to let you- an absolute delicious man walk away from me, hell no"

They chuckled together. Harry took hold of Draco's waist and turned him so he was straddling him and kissed him over the lips " I'm sorry I doubted you"

" it's okay- it's only fair, I'm hard to read" Draco shrugged.

" or you're really good with surprises ?" Harry praised him.

" yeah that too " Draco agreed and laughed along with Harry.

Day 18- Hogsmeade @hpdestress

Harry buried them under the invisible cloak again, Huffing under his breath.

" when I said we should go on a date in Hogsmeade this is definitely not what I meant " Draco grumbled under his breath but close enough for Harry to listen.

" Oh would you like me to take the veil off and walk off like a bride " Harry sarcastically responded.

Draco almost wanted to laugh but he didn't "well these are the results of you face planting in your broom, not anywhere else but over it "

" How was I supposed to know that Someone would be out in the fucking cold at midnight in the quidditch field watching me. I thought it was only you and me " Harry rolled his eyes and took a a sharp turn avoiding everyone else.

" Well Darling of course you have creepy stalkers following you every hour of everyday. You're Harry Potter, the boy who apparently doesn't die " Draco controlled his laughter again but a look from Harry and he was biting his palm to not release any sound.

" You think you're so funny- Well guess what my dear love, you're not " Harry narrowed his eyes at Draco and walked ahead again.

After a while of Draco cracking jokes up, he fell silent and just followed Harry as they walked deeper into Hogsmeade and towards the cliff apparently only Harry knew how to get to.

" How far is it ?" Draco groaned

" well if you weren't walking like a baby and making jokes about me half the trip we would've already been there " Harry replied distantly

" What did I tell you about your sarcasm- sometimes it hurts " Draco pouted.

Harry almost took him seriously but looking at his fake pout he rolled his eyes again " Says the one who's existence runs on being mean "

Draco scoffed, mumbling something under his breath which Harry chose to ignore and finally he was able to lift off the invisibility cloak when they reached a safer radar out of people's sight.

" We there yet ?" Draco asked again.

Harry took 5 more steps and announced " we're here "

Draco followed behind him and finally reached a small tent Harry had assumably set up before they came here with fairy lights dangling inside and a box of Pizza which Draco have grown into loving and blankets to keep themselves warm.

Draco intertwined their fingers tighter and went into the small tent, sat down along with Harry facing Hogsmeade from atop.

" I never knew Hogsmeade looked this beautiful from upside. Christmas makes it look even more beautiful " Draco smiled.

Harry smiled back at him and cast a small heating spell over the pizza and agreed " I discovered this place back in 4 year when nobody wanted to believe that I didn't put my name in that stupid fire. It bought me peace "

" Yeah- I remember envying you until the damned red eyes snake lived under my roof and basically played oujia board with his actual snake "

Harry laughed out loud, shaking his head " Do you even know what an oujia board is ?"

" Who cares- it's not like he was doing a kitty party with the death eaters dressed up in pink dresses " Draco joked, smiling himself.

Harry chuckled " He could've matched his pink with Umbridge "

Draco chuckled then after while of simply smiling at Harry, he said " Thank you for this"

" Don't mention- Pizza ?"

They sat there eating Pizza in the cold with the heating spell bringing them warmth and small jokes that they cackled with each other and enjoyed watching the hustling of the students down there. It was weird in its own how they landed up together and a story for other day, but even if they were pretty much the worst boyfriends the history had ever known, they were still pretty perfect for eachother and that was the most they could ever ask for. So what if instead of sugar coating and sweet talking they made of fun of each other and embarrassed them, so what if they didn't have the perfect first date, or what if they still get weird around each other, the most that mattered was this moment, that thing's that made the moment possible and this was possibly the best they could ever have.

Draco finally rested his head against Harry's shoulder as the sun had started settling and the students had started departing back to Hogwarts " This is pretty perfect isn't it ?"

" pretty or perfect ?" Harry countered

" No Harry- pretty perfect- it's a phrase-"

" how can it-"

" Nevermind I tried-" Draco groaned.

Harry laughed softly and kissed the top of his head, wrapping his arms closer to Draco's body " This is pretty perfect"

Draco smiled and nuzzled his face into Harry's neck.

It was pretty perfect, being with the best version of perfect they could ask for and the Beautiful sunset, yeah it was pretty perfect.

Sweetest memories

Day 19 - Baking @hpdestress

It used to happen very less in the beautiful house of Black when the kitchen would flood and swamp with flour, only when the rebellion of their son, Sirius Black would turn to indescribable ways of trying to destroy the house but now, it happened so very often when the beautiful house of the Black was filled with people and the flour would be everywhere. Traditions turned to rituals, they maintained what they were taught from their respective families but turned what they didn't like into what they did. They would add a little too much flour if needed and maybe a little to essence for taste and then eat it with Pure regret because it was a cake they made with their own hands and as once taught by Draco's mother ' Never let your effort go in waste. There is always, always room for a change'. The complete disastrous cakes they would bake, they'd layer it up with whipped cream, maybe add maple syrup or pour hot chocolate over the destroyed cake and make it better to eat.

But this Christmas, they invited everyone of their friend to bake the best cake they could make and so there was mess in the Black house, flour in the hair, batter in the eye, finger in the bowl and specks broken but the cakes they baked, they were worth everything. They knew it would be too much to clean later on and perhaps even too many cakes to even eat but moments like these have to be made into memories they'd cherish when they grow old and it's a sick game of nature that they'd remember only half of it but building this moment with the laughs echoing all over in the house, and screams that hurt the ears, words that'd float, love that was poured, this time would never return and so this moment had to be made.

Moments like these don't just happen, they have to be made into memories.

And as Harry held Draco's hand over the table in a sweet gesture before he threw handful of flour over his face, another moment turned into a memory they would laugh at but these are the moments that count, the moments that make us remember, make us realise why love exist. If the world is spinning, the only way is to dance upon it because the world may stop spinning one day and so will the dance and all that would be left would the feelings of the arms and the legs that would flail tiresome.

Moments like these doesn't just happen, they are made to happen and even if they seem fake, not all of it can be fake. The part of stealing smiles and the lingering glances, the sweet mouthing and the licking finger, the whispering to other and yelling at another, the holding hands and dirtying their favorite apron, the licking of bowl and the mess on the counter, they are all accidental or unintentional but these are the moments they knew they'd carry to the end because who knows when would the next mess arrive.

Day 21- sleigh ride @hpdestress

" Can I take the blindfold off now ?" Harry asked stumbling over his own feet only to be caught in time by Draco.

" We're not there yet "Draco replied

" But I'm falling all over " Harry whined

" and I'm here to catch your fall " Draco replied back.

" Yeah not really. When I told you I've fallen in love with you, you told me I've fallen with you too. Can't say I can trust you with a fall" Harey shrugged casually.

Draco chuckled next to him " Well then if you're gonna, we're gonna fall together. That's how it works right. You take the first fall and I take it with you"

" I'm telling you Draco, sometimes these falls are scary. What if one day I'm falling off a cliff, you can't say I'm falling after you, right ?" Harry asked.

" Oh no of couse not Darling, I'd be the one pushing you off the cliff, don't worry " Draco smirked next to him even though he knew Harry couldn't see him.

" You know sometimes your words hurt " Harry pouted.

" That's why I say them. Now just trust me with this. I've held your hand " Draco said holding onto Harry's hands tighter.

Harry mumbled something but Draco chose to ignore, besides it was barely audible in the strong winter winds blowing right in his face.

" Are we there yet ?" Harry asked again.

Draco shook his head then realised Harry couldn't see him " A little bit more "

" How far is this place even ?" Harry complaint again.

" If you do a little less complaining, we might reach sooner " Draco rolled his eyes. Don't get him wrong, he loves his boyfriend beyond anything and he would anything for him but sometimes Harry just annoyed him, irritated him with useless questions that he doubted his entire existence then, like the time Harry kept on asking at 3 am why do we sleep at 3 and not in the morning and why do they have specific meals for breakfast, what if he wanted rice for breakfast and toast for dinner. It drove Draco insane, more than he likes to exaggerates.

" And I thought you loved me " Harry mumbled.

Draco rolled his eyes once again " Just because I tell you to stop complaining doesn't mean I love you any less "

" seems otherwise to me" Harry shrugged and this time he stumbled over something again that he might've fallen over the ground if it wasn't for Draco holding him tightly.

" Told you I'd save you" Draco told him afterwards.

" yeah after I was already sca-"

" we're here " Draco announced cutting Harry off mid sentence and took off his blindfold and putting it in his pocket.

" A sleigh ride " Harry exclaimed.

" I am an attentive boyfriend " Draco smirked.

" I told you this on like our 2nd date, how did you remember ?" Harry grinned at Draco.

" I remember everything babe, everything" Draco smiled fondly at Harry who looked at him in awe before he leaned forward and kissed Draco's nose softly.

" Now you're like Rudolph the Red nose reindeer " He sang.

Draco laughed behind him, following him into the sleigh and sitting down over the uncomfortable seat.

" I feel like Elsa " Harry grinned.

" Elsa who ?" He asked

" Elsa from Frozen. You know in the second movie when they are going to that forest, the enchanted forest. We watched that movie together Draco, like 2 weeks ago " Harry reminded him.

"Oh- the girl who have to wear gloves all the time or she'll turn everyone into ice " Draco replied

" stop Making her sound like a villain-"

" I'm not making her sound like a villain. She did freeze her sister in the first movie-"

" but she also bought her back-"

" but she also struck her when they were just kids-"

" By accident-"

" Not to interrupt your little argument over the girl who froze her sister but do you want a ride or not ?" The man in the front seat holding the leash of the horses in his hands asked.

Draco immediately nodded and they took off.

Harry remained shut after that for a long time but an excited smile pulled over his face as he kept staring at his surrounding and the feeling of being in a sleigh. Draco perhaps might never understand why it was so fascinating for Harry to be on a sleigh but if this is how little it takes for Draco to bring that smile over his face, he'd do them everyday until he dies. When he says he loved Harry with his entire soul and mind, he really does. He loves every little thing about him and sometimes he might drive him crazy or insane but he still loved Harry till the sun rises and the moon sets. What Harry bought in Draco was indescribable but knowing that Harry is the only man he want to ride every sleigh in the world with fills the empty little hole his heart have and that's because Harry is his cure, his medicine and his remedy to everything. One look from Harry and he'd forget a thousand reasons why he shouldn't exist but Harry chose to love a man as such and he would never ever be worthy enough of his love but he knows he'll spend the rest of his life trying to be worthy enough for him.

Harry besides him catches Draco smiling at him and he smiles back. He turns his head to the front and lean his head over his shoulder and takes Draco's hands in his own to intertwine their fingers together.

" It's better with you, a Hundred times better in your arms " Harry whispered, smiling.

Draco wishes he could've said something, anything but all that came out of his lips was " I love you " before he leaned down and kissed Harry over the lips. It's always better with him too, always and a thousand times better.

Family trip gone wrong

Day 22- sledging @hpdestress

Harry huffed in frustration as he tried to find the safe gears to put on Albus and Scorpius but apparently they were nowhere to be found and soon they would become impatient to the point that it's unbearable. Ever since Harry and Draco came on the trip with their kids, nothing had gone right, not even a single thing, it was like living the movie of the worst day ever on repeat. This trip was supposed to be a fun, bonding time for the family but apparently it was everything but that. To Begin with, on their way over their car broke down and the mechanics seemed to have been very far away and Albus and Scorpius decided that it would've just been marvelous to throw a fit, the next was the room they got, it was supposed to be 2 large rooms and instead of it being as large as it was in the pictures, it was only large enough to have bunk beds in it; next was the dinner night they planned on, it was supposed to be a fancy dinner at a fancy place but a blizzard had to come right then when they were walking to it and due to the damning Blizzard, their night got cancelled and the list goes on. Harry would rewind every single one of them but that wasn't an available option.

He eventually gave up finding the gears and practiced how to break his kids heart by telling them that they can't go sledging but when Harry reached where the kids were supposed to be, they weren't there.

" Draco, where are the kids ?" Harry sounded exhausted and yet stressed at the same time.

Draco's head immediately whipped around with a handful of things to eat " I swear they were right here, just now. I swear, I promise "

Harry sighed closing his eyes momentarily then began again " It's fine, we'll find them together. You take that way, I'll take this way " He said pointing towards different directions but as soon as they were going in different directions, they heard screaming which sounded awfully familiar until they both turned around and their kids jumped up in the air in the sledge and their heart's fell right out of their chest.

" Albus-Scorp" they simultaneously screamed and immediately ran after them with hooked ropes to get them to stop but sliding on ice wasn't a piece of cake. Draco hit his head on a massive ball of ice and some kid nearby thought it was funny to hit him right in the stomach. Harry gave him an apologetic look then continued running after them. Hurdles after hurdles like Albus throwing snowballs to hit Harry, the slippery ice that made him fall over, their kids basically jumping up in the air without any protection when a slight cliff came around, his throat growing dry from all the yelling, maintaining a safe look on Draco who had now joined him and last but not the least the trees that somehow had started appearing in the middle. Harry wanted to cry at this moment and just when he thought it couldn't get any worse, he fell over his bum and slid over the ice and due to the slope it became incredibly hard to get back up. His heart hammered like a wrecking ball inside his chest and now he was scared to death for two reasons, himself and the kids.

" Albus-Scorp- Please stop the sledge " Harry shouted.

" We can't " Albus yelled back laughing and that was all it took Harry to turn at an edge to he started slipping on ice even after. When he heard another scream he turned his face to his side and saw Draco sliding down over a piece of wood, recklessly.

" Harry, save me " Draco screamed and he slipped more ahead of Harry.

Harry groaned loudly and screamed back "I'm coming"

Seconds turned into minutes and the screaming grew louder while the people all around watched them finding it absolutely hilarious how the kids drove the sledge while their father ran after them like absolute maniacs. It was finally when the steep gradually lessened and it started rising upwards that the kids sledge slowed down, not the same with Harry and Draco and they were still screaming until they both collided into each other and then into the kids.

" Ouch Dad's " Scorpius groaned.

Harry breathed heavily, holding onto the kids " that was very very dangerous "

Draco remained in shock for a while, catching his breath and holding onto the family together until later his eyes noticed the high cliff and he started laughing looking at their kids. His Laugh eventually grew louder and contagious to the point that everyone was laughing so hard that they rolled back to the ground.

" I hate to say it but this was the most fun thing that happened over the entire trip " Harry told after the laughter controlled down.

Draco turned to Harry and nodded smiling.

" Then Can we do it again ?-"

" No " they simultaneously replied.

TW- mild NSFW

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

" Bastard " Harry blushed at Draco.

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

_________________________________

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

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

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

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

" Is something wrong?" Narcissa turned and asked

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

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

Draco rolled his eyes and shook his head.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"As if " Draco scoffed.

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

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

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

" What were you thinking ?" Draco asked.

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

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

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

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

" What are you doing ?" Harry whispered.

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

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

" Draco stop " Harry muttered to Draco.

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

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

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

"Oh really, let me see ? " Narcissa asked

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Harry nodded, groaning " We should go"

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

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

" Let's get this dinner done with "

Draco moaned nodding.

Day 26- Hot chocolate @hpdestress

" Done " Draco yells from the living room.

Harry yells back a second later " I'm done too" and he walks into the living room with 2 cups of hot chocolate filled with marshmallows and a box of cookies.

"I've cancelled all my meetings and I've set the blanket" Draco tells Harry jumping up and down as if he was getting ready for a marathon. Truth be told, he was getting ready of a Marathon, just not the running types.

" I've made 2 cups of hot chocolate, already set a box of tissues over there and bought cookies to dip into the hot chocolate later so I wouldn't have to get up" Harry tells Draco.

Draco nods and picks up the remote " Ready to cry ?" He challenges Harry.

Harry set the box of cookies over the table and sat down underneath the puddle of blankets joining Draco with cups of Hot chocolate in his hand.

" you're the one who should be scared " Harry teased

" Right, like I cry like baby " Draco scoffed.

" Last I remember-"

" Don't " Draco pointed his finger at Harry who funnily enough put it into his mouth.

" Harry- eww- you're so gross " Draco whined wiping his finger against the blanket while Harry laughed at him.

" Are you serious for watching this now ?" Draco asked next.

Harry got in position and nodded " Bring it on"

" whoever cries first, loses " Draco declared.

" We both know who's it gonna be " Harry boasted.

Draco rolled his eyes " we'll see Potter"

__________________________________

" Are they both really crying over 10 things I hate about you ?" Pansy asked Ron who was standing beside him watching Harry and Draco cry in each other's arms like babies.

" Apparently Heath ledger gets to them " Ron mumbled eating another one of the cashew nut.

" Do you think they knew we're here ?" She asked again.

" Nah " Ron shook his head " They won't know for another hour. At least not until after they're done crying over Heath ledger"

" So supposedly if we steal all their money-"

" Nope. Never" Ron frowns.

Pansy nodded impressed and picked on another cashew nut and eating it away.

" Draco" Harry shouts from the bedroom.

" Dray"

" Dracooo " Harry sings again.

Groaning, Draco peeks his head through the bedroom door " what do you need ?"

" What's for lunch ?" Harry asked, smiling innocently, bundled up in the blankets.

" if you want food, be a dear and get out of those blankets and get your food " Draco rolled his eyes and left the room.

Harry mumbled to himself, mostly bitching about Draco, pulled up his socks, wore his ear muffs, wrapping his blanket around himself, he got out of bed.

" My- Jesus- don't you think you're wearing a little less. Perhaps another blanket would've worked better " Draco teased.

" Joke all you want. Cold blooded people like you will never know what it's to feel warm" Harry sarcastically replied.

" I'm not cold blooded. You're just too sensitive " Draco narrowed his eyes at Harry.

" oh you're one to talk about sensitive. You turn all red the moment you step out of the house " Harry argued.

" That's how a normal human gets who isn't covered in 7 layers of clothes " Draco told him with an obvious face.

" 5 not 7 " Harry corrected.

Draco rolled his eyes " Why don't you just do what you came to "

" We had Sausage left overs from a day before yesterdays' dinner didn't we ?" Harry asked looking in the refrigerator.

" You ate them as midnight snack" Draco told Harry, now busying himself with cutting fruits for his own.

" what about my burger take out ?" Harry asked, still looking inside the fridge.

" You were being very generous to Ron when you were tipsy and let him eat it " Draco replied again without looking at Harry.

" What about the sandwich I made after dinner yesterday ?" Harry asked again.

" Ate it again after you came from a run and I vividly remember telling you that you shouldn't eat that sandwich just after you had came from a run and you told me bug off and let you bath in the divine food " Draco looked up in the air, momentarily stopping cutting his fruits.

Harry looked out of the refrigerator to Draco" it was divine"

Draco turned to Harry rolling his eyes " you're not going to find Aladdin's lamp in there "

" How great would it be though to actually have the genies lamp " Harry dreamt on.

" there's a reason why it's a fairy tale " Draco reminded him.

Harry mimicked him nastily " You're such a spoil sport "

" I'm not a spoil sport, I'm just practical " Draco replied getting back to cutting his fruits.

" what are you having for lunch ?" Harry asked him.

" fruit salad " He replied dismissively.

" Can we share ?-"

" No " Draco instantly denied.

" You know you love me " Harry grinned taking the slice of apple from Draco's plate.

Draco deadpanned looked at Harry " Sometimes I want to deliver you to Hell"

" I'm not going anywhere without you " Harry passed him a flying kiss taking another slice of fruit from his plate. He raised the volume of the television, leaning his shoulder on Draco's.

Draco shook his head " I can't wait to kick you out of my life "

" I love you "

" And I hate you " Draco mumbled then himself leaned closer to Harry.

He knew he still loved that stupid idiot so much.

Best Dads In The World 

Day 28- fuzzy socks  @hpdestress

“And so, he distributes all his wealth amongst the poor and the needy subjects. That’s how King Midas came to know of true happiness-” Draco shut off the book softly, smiling at their 3 year old daughter Lily. 

“Daddy- can we do magic like that ?” Lily asked 

Harry chuckled beside her “No dear, Magic like that doesn’t happen and even if it did, you’d never know true happiness would you?”

Lily hummed and shook her head “He was a mean king” 

“Really? I think he was just a man who just never knew the value of love and happiness” Draco smiled down at her. He carefully ran his fingers through her hair, combing it all together. 

“But didn’t his daddies read to him like you do?” Lily asked curiously. 

Harry almost burst into a laughter right there and then “I think not darling, if his parents did, he would’ve never been the same man, would he? And my sweet Lily, not everyone have daddies like you”

“Daddies are better. I was playing with Rain yesterday and her mother scolded her for breaking the plastic bucket. She did it by mistake you know” She told them. 

Draco leaned down to lay next to her and held her small hands in his hand “You know, sometimes parents have to scold their little darlings because if they don’t then they turn into a spoiled baby like you” he immediately tickled her side, forcing her to snort out laughing. 

Harry laughed looking at them, this was their typical daddy daughter moment and he never tried to come in between them because these moments were just their own, some memories that Harry might never be able to make Lily’s favourite, but only Draco could. 

“Daddy- please- stop” She cried. 

Draco retreated his hands and turned sideways so he was leaning over Lily with the support of his elbow. 

“Good night, my little munchkin” Draco knelt forward and kissed her forehead. 

“Good night, Daddy” she smiled at Draco. 

Harry got up from her side and he too leaned down and placed a soft kiss over her cheeks “Now you cover yourself with your small blanket and keep your favourite fuzzy socks on and sleep well” He smiled. 

“Good night Dad” she smiled back at him. 

Harry smiled at her himself and turned off her bedside lamp “Love you sweetpea” he whispered. 

Draco and Harry were leaving the room together when she turned to her side, turned on the lamp “I forgot to say, Love you Daddies and sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite” 

Draco chuckled next to Harry and gave her a flying kiss. Smiling they both left the room and remained in the hallway for a few moments smiling at each other. 

“How is she even real?” Draco asked, tearing up a little bit. 

Harry immediately softened up and wrapped his arms around Draco the same instant “Oh Dear- she is very much real Draco and she is our perfect little daughter” 

“How did she turn out to be so perfect when we were so damned?” Draco asked, speaking against his neck. 

“Just because we were doomed, doesn’t mean we’d ever let out daughter be doomed. I’d say we’re doing a pretty good job at parenting” Harry smiled, looking down at Draco even though he couldn’t see him. 

Draco chuckled into his neck “She’s like our walking talking best christmas present” 

“Hate to say it but I agree” Harry laughed softly and soon they went back into their room and slept until Lily climbed into their bed in the middle of the night and was embraced by both of them in sweetest of the hug. Yeah, she had the best Dads in the world.
