It was no secret that Harry Potter was in love with Draco Malfoy. Well, at least to everybody but Draco Malfoy.
When Pansy Parkinson pointed out the dozens of red roses left on his pillow every morning with a tag of paper proclaiming “Good Morning, Beautiful!” and dotted with little golden snitches, Draco simply responded that Potter was hoping Draco would prick himself on the thorns and bleed to death.
Blaise Zabini countered by pointing out the way Potter insisted on carrying Draco’s bag to and from all classes. No, Draco explained, Potter, in his conniving ways, was only waiting for the moment Draco let his guard down to run off with his belongings. And Draco didn’t want to lose his favorite quill. Sure, it was missing a few feathers, and didn’t hold ink as long as it used to, but he had earned his first “Exceeds Expectations” with it. It was special.
Even Crabbe and Goyle had tried to convince him using their own limited vocabulary. Hadn’t Potter been the one to catch Draco when he tripped in the hall last week? Draco had drawn himself to his full height and commented that Malfoys do not trip, and Draco may have missed a step after Potter cast that leg-locking jinx at him. But…Crabbe and Goyle scrunched their faces in confusion. Didn’t Weasley have Potter’s wand? Hadn’t Potter given it to him so that he could tie his trainers before Draco had…er, lost his footing?
Draco wouldn’t expect those two to know much, anyway.
It seemed Draco was in a constant state of denial. Potter smiled at him across the Great Hall because he had a bit of food on his chin.
Potter said his hair looked nice on the day Draco had woken up late and hadn’t had time to gel it down.
Potter asked Draco to visit Hogsmeade with him so that he could lure him to a dark corner and attack. Draco knew this for a fact.
Which made the fact that he answered yes all the more bewildering.
Pansy snickered when he asked her what to wear, and Blaise glared when Draco hogged the bathroom for two hours, then inquired every ten minutes of times whether he looked okay-Presentable! Malfoy had asked if he looked presentable. Crabbe and Goyle scratched their heads and asked why Draco cared so much about his appearance around someone he hated. Malfoys do not appear in public looking less than their best.
Especially- even when being seen with Harry Potter.
Draco left the gel out of his hair that day despite Potter’s sarcasm.
He arrived at The Three Broomsticks ten minutes early because a Malfoy was always punctual. He was not, in any way, shape, or form, eager. Not to mention that the reason his breath caught in his throat when Potter entered the shop wasn’t due to the wind tousled hair, or the pleasantly chilled cheeks, but the fact that Potter was one minute, and twenty three and a half seconds late.
Not that Draco was counting.
“Hello, Draco.” Potter grinned at him as if he were a nicely wrapped present on Christmas morning. “You look ravishing.” He pulled out a single rose (devoid of thorns) and handed it to Draco.
Did someone just cast a warming charm on the shop?
Draco responded with a mumbled “Thanks, you look nice, too,” before averting his eyes and picking at his napkin. He heard the sound of footsteps and Potter’s deep rumble ordering two Butterbeers and a few strawberry scones.
It was surprisingly easy to talk to Potter. They chatted about schoolwork and Professor Snape and Quidditch. There was even a delightful moment when Draco had a bit of scone on his chin that Potter reached over and lightly brushed it off with the pad of his finger. (His smile seemed to be deliberately non-mocking.)
They finished, and because there was an hour or so before they had to report back to Hogwarts (where had the time gone?), Draco suggested they walk around a bit. They wandered into Honeyduke’s and Harry brought Draco a large box of chocolates (un-poisoned), then into Zonko’s because Draco wanted to give Harry a snitch that zapped whoever caught it. Harry simply smiled.
The hour passed before Draco had realized, and the two boys begin to walk back towards the path leading to Hogwarts. Harry stopped, then, casting furtive glances around, pulled Draco into the nearest alleyway.
Here it comes. The letting my guard down and attacking me. He had better not take my chocolates. Draco squeezed his eyes shut and waited for the hex, gripping his chocolates to his chest.
“Draco?” The blond boy looked up into intense green eyes and blinked.
“You can’t have my chocolates!” He blurted before clamping his mouth together. He wasn’t blushing because Malfoys don’t blush.
Harry tilted his head to one side and gazed at Draco with a hint of amusement. “I wasn’t planning on it.”
A moment passed where Draco absolutely refused to meet Potter’s eye. Then, a soft presence below his chin gently persuaded him to lift his head and he was rocked by the intensity of Harry’s gaze.
“I would really like to kiss you, now.” A soft inflection made the words a question, and there was no denying Harry when he asked in that tender way because, Malfoy or not, Draco was only human.
Their lips met and Draco could not stop the sigh from escaping his lips. Harry tasted of strawberry scones and chocolate, a mixture that was deadly addictive, and when Draco felt a tongue begging entrance to his mouth, he didn’t hesitate to grant permission. The slick slide of battling lips drove Draco crazy with need, and he brought both hands up to place on Harry’s shoulders in anchorage.
After a dizzying minute (It could have been hours for all Draco knew), Harry pulled away, and Draco had to steel himself from following those aberrant lips; instead, he looked up and saw Harry gazing into Draco’s eyes with an expression of utmost adoration. His cheeks were flushed, but that was okay, because Draco expected he was blushing as well.
“Are you pouting?” The lower lip immediately was sucked back in. Malfoys do not…Harry leaned in and whispered, “I stopped because what I have planned next shouldn’t be done in the middle of an alley.”
It was then that Draco realized that maybe his friends weren’t as stupid as he had previously believed. Well, with the exception of Crabbe and Goyle.
It was no secret that Harry Potter was in love with Draco Malfoy. Especially to Draco Malfoy.
