Disclaimer: A bit of M/M action. Some teasing. A light bit of F/F. I would have added this in but I am not sure how. It wouldn't let me type it in. Nothing heavy with F/F however you don't need glasses for this one. *grins*
Draco’s eyes widened before they slid shut and he wrapped his arms around Harry’s waist kissing him deeply. This felt better than their first forced kiss and it was probably because they were both willing participants in this one. He moved them slightly, pressing Harry up against the wall as the kiss continued. Just before his tongue slipped into Harry’s mouth, he pulled back with his hands on Harry’s shoulders to keep them apart and panting.
“Harry…” Draco said as he looked at him. “You don’t want to do this. You are upset and you are confused. Don’t even try to lie to me and say you are fine. I can see it in your eyes. You just want to feel some sort of comfort in your current vulnerability.”
The Gryffindor looked at Draco and Draco’s appearance. The normally calm Slytherin was flushed and panting. His lips were slightly swollen and his hair was a bit messy as if he had a minor electric charge running through it. His tone… well Draco was trying to recover it, but Harry heard the slight breaks in the usually cool and collected demeanor of one of his newest friends. Thinking back on all of the conversations that they have had recently, he remembered something Draco said about life and relationships in general.
“Actually, I am not worried about that vulnerability. After all, it was you who stated several times that sometimes it is better to take a chance than to just float along in hopes of something good passing by at a rate you can grasp it.” Harry said looking into Draco’s eyes. “Unless you don’t believe half of the things you’ve said.”
“Or you don’t respect anything I’ve said.” Draco said stepping back from Harry. “After everything I’ve stated about relationships, you just kissed me not even a full hour after you broke up with Ginerva. The thing about lasting relationships is that both partners take in the other’s feelings. If I wouldn’t do this to you, why would you do it to me? I’ll see you later to work on our project and talk, but think about what just happened for me, please?”
With those words, Draco left the astronomy tower and disappeared to the dungeons to clear his head. Why did he kiss Harry back? He wouldn’t let this ruin their friendship, but he was admittedly a little more than confused. Well, he doubted it would come up for a while.
~In Gryffindor Tower~
Ron was lying on his bed in Gryffindor tower smiling about his date with Blaise. He was happy that he had the control to give Ginny a hug and tell her that he’d have a stern talking to with Harry. Ginny had told him not to, saying that Harry would never look at her in the same way. When he had asked why, his little sister replied only with Draco Malfoy. Ron thanked Blaise for the fact that he didn’t just start dancing in front of his sister. He had just gone up to his bed and flopped on to it smiling about that development and the end of his date.
Lunch was finished and that included the dessert that had been prepared for them both. They sat there sipping their drinks and engaging in small talk about future plans and other random things. There was laughter and then Ron decided to be a bit bold and show some of his more Gryffindor-ish traits. He got up and went over to Blaise sitting on his lap and kissed him.
Ron smiled even more as he remembered. Blaise had ended up widening the chair a bit so he could settle more on his lap. Ron was sure he lost his shirt at some point during that and was even more certain of quite a few well-placed hickeys all over his chest. If Blaise didn’t have some more proper pureblood ideals, Ron was pretty sure they would have ended up losing their claims to innocence this afternoon. He was rubbing the places he had love bites when Harry burst into the room.
His best friend hadn’t even seen him on the bed and Ron took this moment to watch him. Harry seemed agitated and almost sad. Ron frowned a moment as he sincerely hoped that Harry didn’t scare Draco away or something. He would have to ask Blaise later on how Draco’s mood was today. “Hey Harry…” Ron said sitting up. “Is there something wrong?”
Harry looked at Ron a moment before lying down on his own bed. “I’m an idiot. Also, I am not sure how to tell you this, but I broke up with Ginny. We just didn’t seem to fit together when I really thought about it. I’m sorry.”
Ron sighed. “It… It is alright I suppose.” he commented sounding like the sad friend and brother he should be instead of the bubbly, excited, scheming friend he was. “You shouldn’t feel too upset about it. I mean she didn’t hex you and so I suppose that is a good thing.”
“She asked me to put my memories in a box so she could view them at her leisure.” Harry said with a bit of bitterness creeping into his voice.
I love you so much right now, Gin., Ron thought as his mouth dropped open as was the expected response. “She asked you to WHAT?!” he exclaimed in shock. His sister really did a lot of his work for him in breaking them apart. Perhaps he should see if someone else was interested in her or get her an anonymous gift in thanks.
“Exactly. Still that isn’t even the most awkward thing that happened today. I hope I didn’t destroy my friendship because of it. I mean it was just… it seemed like the right moment and with everything that happened…” Harry trailed off trying not to concentrate so much on it. He truly needed to figure out what exactly happened and if he could talk to Ron about it. Draco was a Slytherin and, wait, actually Ron couldn’t say anything about his interest in a Slytherin since he had a crush on Blaise Zabini. This might actually help Ron to be a bit braver in trying to have a relationship with the other. “Ron… I am going to tell you something and I understand if you hate me for what I am about to say.”
Ron looked concerned. He most certainly would want to strangle Harry if he did something to go against all of his hard work to get the other with Draco. He didn’t fancy having to change plans because Harry wanted to be twice as unpredictable as he usually was. “What is it, Harry? You know you’re my best friend and it would take a lot for me to be upset.”
Harry gave him a bit of a smile. “Well you see, Draco was there when Ginny asked me. He helped to diffuse the situation, but I was still upset and so he took me to the Astronomy tower to talk about everything. We ended up joking around a little bit and then… then I kissed him.”
The redhead hoped his expression was one of shocked horror instead of delight and giddiness. “You kissed Draco Malfoy?! Not only that, but not even that long after you broke my sister’s heart?” he asked seemingly pissed but trying to calm down. “Alright, I suppose if you were going to go for a guy, then he isn’t bad to look at. Not my type of course.”
There was a moment of silence before Harry started laughing a bit. “Of course not. You like them tall, dark, and handsome, quite literally. Do you dream of Blaise whispering how much he wants you in Italian?”
Now, Ron had not actually thought of that until just this minute. He could just imagine Blaise having him pinned to a table and speaking Italian and dear sweet fucking Merlin… Ron coughed to clear his head and concentrate on the problem at hand. Damn Harry and damn that knowing smirk on his face. He would be the one wearing the smirk once Draco decided to take Harry during a Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Draco would be telling Harry to hold on to the broom unless he wanted to fall all while making the smirking git scream ‘Slytherin’s always win’ and Draco just to complete the fantasy would be all ‘Good little Gryffindor bitch’.
Ron might actually push to make that one happen if he had to accept constant teasing that led to highly erotic thoughts about him and Blaise. “You would just love to see that wouldn’t you, Harry?” he rolled his eyes losing control of his emotions just a moment.
Harry smirked in a way that would make Lucius Malfoy envious for years on end. “Oh yeah… I’d totally love to see Blaise spread you out on a table like his own personal feast and make you beg for a taste of Italian, if you catch my drift.”
Ron’s jaw dropped as he stared at Harry with a blush red enough to match his hair. Oh… he was so going to love it, Draco taking the bastard until he couldn’t walk, scream, or remember who the hell Voldemort was. He really needed to regain control of this situation and quickly. Otherwise, he’d end up spending the entire conversation in a state of arousal before running off and begging Blaise to say ‘Fuck pureblood customs’ and take him against every wall he could. Harry was not going to turn him into his vision of Harry!
“The kiss, Harry… remember we were talking about you kissing Draco Malfoy and why you think you are an idiot.” Ron said giving up on getting the images out of his head. Blaise was never going to let him live this down once he reported to him what happened from Harry’s end so they could plan the next phase. It was obvious the liking aspect had progressed further on Harry’s end and now they needed to get Draco to see the truth as they both needed it as well.
Harry sighed and closed his eyes. “I told him we should have our first fight and then kissed him. It was all good until he stopped and reminded me that I had just broken up with Ginny and how I just wanted support. I felt a bit guilty by just forcing the kiss on him and he…” Harry stopped talking and opened his eyes. “That sneaky bastard, he totally kissed me back! He made me feel like I just kissed him and did something he didn’t want, but I am pretty sure I did not back up against that wall on my own. He definitely wanted to kiss me back and was probably just mad that I beat him to it or something!”
Now this he could work with, Ron thought as he looked at Harry. “So… your back was up against the wall and you two were kissing, not even an hour after you broke up with Ginny.” Ron said slowly as if he was trying to make sure he understood what was going on. A sigh left Ron’s lips and he shrugged. “Well, what do you plan to do now?”
“Absolutely nothing. I am worried that I might scare him off and I am not even sure that Draco is into guys. I think it was just the moment and a momentary lapse in judgment.” Harry said sighing as he looked at his best friend. “I am not sure if I even like Draco in that manner. I may have just wanted to kiss him and nothing more and then what he said….” Harry frowned again biting his lip.
“Well Draco said that if he wouldn’t do that to me, then why would I do it to him. I suppose I didn’t pay much attention to it, and he asked me to think about it before we meet to work on our project later. Remus does want us to turn in our rough drafts in a couple days after all. I don’t know… I just feel like I may have messed up our friendship or something,” Harry finished and nervously picked at his bed coverings.
This would be a challenge, Ron thought. How could he fix something that might not even be broken? He could use his budding relationship with Blaise to assist even further, but it could inevitably cause a bit of backlash. He had plans on how to keep them together, but he needed to make this final push to get them more interested. Ron knew he didn’t want their relationship to be based on lust, but instead mutual respect and love for one another. He knew they could be great, but they needed to see it.
It was time to figure out a new strategy and tactic now that Harry was entertaining the thought of being with Draco Malfoy. There was also an underlying worry that he may not be able to get Harry to stay with Draco. After all, if he and Draco ever broke up then Harry might decide to run off and kiss someone else and decide to date them. He shouldn’t feel that his best friend would ever do something like that, but he was curious if it would happen again. He supposed he could speed up another part of his strategies and then move slower on the second phase of his brilliant plan. Blaise didn’t know about that part, but he would cross that bridge when they came to it.
“I still don’t understand your want for him, but why not just talk to him or…” Ron grinned. “Or you could keep your relationship strictly professional. A few small hints here and there and voila! Almost instant payback for the fact he made you feel guilty. I bet his Slytherin mind won’t even be able to comprehend the brilliance of this plan.”
Harry looked at Ron and raised an eyebrow. “Somehow, I don’t think that will work. Draco is actually quite intelligent. I think he’d figure out something like that really quickly.”
Oh yes. He’s so intelligent that he doesn’t realize I am pushing you two together nor that I am already dating Blaise. Ron thought barely managing not to roll his eyes. “He might. Or…or he wouldn’t be expecting that from you. After all, you said he wanted you to think about it and that could be your solution to everything! I don’t really know Malfoy or anything and don’t really want to, but…”
“But you will have to if you manage to snag Zabini.” Harry said looking at Ron pointedly. “After all, they are best friends or close acquaintances. If you want to get to Zabini then you should probably stop having that odd look on your face when you say Malfoy or Draco.”
Ron rolled his eyes then. “I am sure that my dislike of all things Malfoy is well known even if I seem to be focused on other matters these days. We are trying to figure out if you ruined your friendship remember? If he kissed you back then you probably didn’t. I still say my plan is pure genius and you should do it, but I suppose if Hermione….” Ron was happy to have said her name without twitching. “If she were here, then she’d probably say ‘You’re acting so foolishly Harry. If you are worried about your friendship, just go apologize to him and explain your actions’ or some such rot, but it is nowhere near as fun as my idea.”
Harry laughed. “Well I can agree with you there. I think I am going to go out flying and leave you to thoughts of Blaise lick-“
“Finish that sentence Harry and I might hex your balls off.” Ron said blushing as brightly as his hair. The last thing he needed to remember was how good earlier felt while Harry was still in the room. “I’ll probably find him anyway to work on the project and maybe I can summon up some courage to try and get to know him better. I’ll probably see you with Draco later at the usual place.”
Harry nodded and left. The moment Ron was sure Harry was gone, he threw up a silencing charm and screamed. Why did Harry make this so damn hard? For once, couldn’t his friend just sit back and let things happen. No. Of course not. He wouldn’t be the Harry that he cared for if he did, but some of Draco’s influence should have rubbed off on him. Now he had even worse problems to figure everything out. He needed Draco to think of Harry as not only attainable, but someone that needed to be molded to his way of life a bit more.
For a moment, Ron was relieved he wouldn’t have to fully convince Harry of his attraction to Draco because it eliminated part of the problem. Instead, he just needed to convince Draco of the opposite and convince Harry that he wasn’t going bonkers. It should be simple, but he has already had hang-ups in his plans. The only thing that worked was that Harry apparently loved kissing Draco and his sister seems to be positively insane.
There was also the Hermione issue. He didn’t believe for one moment that she had given up on the idea of dating Blaise. Ron could safely say that he didn’t think Blaise would cheat on him with a muggleborn witch, but she might try anything to sway the argument in her favor. His thoughts focused on a double date once he made sure that Harry and Draco got together and maybe he’d make out with Blaise in front of Hermione just to rub it in her face.
Ron groaned. He was getting off track again. What he needed to focus on was making Draco realize he wanted to show Harry off in some way? How though? His father was in Azkaban with no chance of getting out. It meant that Draco was now Lord Malfoy or some other such nonsense and based on Draco's relationship advice; he was going to be selective with partners. The only lead he had to go on was that Draco had kissed Harry twice and the second time did not involve his lovely little trinket.
There was also the issue of Draco not seeming to care much for a lot of the pureblood traditions he had been raised with. The old Draco may have loved having Harry wanting him, but the new one focused more on thoughts and feelings. Besides Defense Against the Dark Arts and Quidditch, Harry needed to show other talents that Draco might actually think interesting or be amazed with.
Draco obviously exceled in Potions and… that’s it! He needed to speak with Dumbledore, but it might be a fun challenge, post war. A cooking contest! Ron knew enough about Harry’s time with the Dursleys to know that Harry could cook. While Draco may now be privy to certain facts about Harry, he may be impressed to find that Harry could cook for them if they were ever stuck somewhere with no house elves or Merlin forbid that Hermione’s S.P.E.W fight actually ended with house elves wanting to be freed. Draco would know that he would have a fantastic lover who would be able to cook for them and their future family.
Ron was sure that Dumbledore would probably want to promote people learning about muggle ways in case they moved outside of the Wizarding World. It would just be about organizing the idea and while strategizing was his strength, organizing was not. Perhaps Blaise would have some ideas on how to enter this. They would state that people had to enter in pairs and with someone from another house to further promote house unity after the war.
Everything could be set up with magic and then they would all have to cook the muggle way. There could even be a prize of galleons or a trip to Hogsmeade one weekend for the first, second, and third place winners. Actually, if the prizes were enticing enough he could get many people to join including Harry. Harry would obviously ask the only other person from a different house that he was super comfortable with talking to and Draco would have another reason to select Harry as the person he wanted to be with.
It was a perfect way for Ron to put his plans back on track. With those thoughts and a smile on his face, he left to find Blaise and go over it with him.
~In Pansy’s Room~
“I just don’t get it. We’ve gone over everything and I even wore this outfit when he came back to the Slytherin Common Room and he didn’t even seem to notice. I wonder if he had gotten into a fight though since his robes were slightly ruffled.” Hermione said as she laid on the Slytherin girl’s bed. “Pansy, what if I am just not attractive?”
Pansy looked at her and then shook her head. “I doubt it is that. Perhaps he was just pre-occupied or we need to try another outfit.” she stated as she started looking through the clothing on the bed.
Hermione stretched causing the corset she was wearing to barely stay on her chest. “What if Blaise thinks I’m too innocent or something?” she said while shaking her head at the outfit that Pansy showed her.
This could be interesting, Pansy thought as she put the clothes on. “Maybe you just need a bit of practice then.”
A scandalized look crossed Hermione’s face. “I am not going to sleep around just to get Blaise!” she said confident that the silencing ward on Pansy’s room wouldn’t let anyone hear the conversation they were having.
The Slytherin girl rolled her eyes. “That isn’t what I meant Hermione. I meant like kissing and how you react to it.”
A frown appeared on Hermione’s face. “How am I supposed to practice something like that when I don’t know any guys that would be ok with being a practice dummy?”
“Who said it had to be a guy?” Pansy asked as she moved closer to the brown haired Gryffindor. She had one leg in place close to between Hermione’s legs. Hermione opened her mouth to say that she was trying to get a guy but felt Pansy’s fingers against her lips. “Most girls don’t go practicing on guys when they are trying to get one anyway.”
In one swift movement, Hermione was on her back with Pansy lying on top of her. One of Pansy’s legs was between her legs and Pansy’s hands held down her wrists. Hermione was shocked and gazing up into Pansy’s eyes as her chest rose and fell in the tight fitting garment.
“Ready to practice?” Pansy whispered with a soft smirk before leaning down to capture Hermione’s lips with her own.
