Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, nor any of the characters from the books or movies. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. |
Disclaimer: I totally don't own it. I also totally don't know why we have to do these things. We all know that JKR isn't going to sue us... she's far too nice and she enjoys reading these far too much... (you should hear what she says about fanfiction on her official website. lol)
A/N: You have no idea how sorry I am that this took so long! I almost lost my inspiration for this story... but it's back! My plot bunny just- went on vacation... right.
Chapter Nine
XXXhdXXX
Draco finally caught up with Harry outside of the Prefect's bath. He grabbed the boy's wrist to keep him from going any further, trying to catch his breath. When he looked up, he saw tears shimmering in Harry's beautiful emerald eyes.
"I'm sorry," he said, not even knowing for what he was apologizing.
Harry tried to tug his wrist out of Draco's grasp. "Let me go. I need a bath..."
Draco shook his head, pulling Harry into his room. "You can use mine. Don't worry. I won't bother you..."
Harry saw a look of hurt pass over Draco's face for a fleeting moment before the blonde dropped his wrist and turned away. He wanted to tell Draco that it wasn't like he thought. He wanted to put his arms around him and assure him that he could never bother him. He wanted to shower that perfect face with kisses and run his fingers through his gorgeous platinum hair. However, he only turned and walked into the Heads' bathroom, shutting the door lightly.
He sank into the water and sighed. There were so many things that he wanted to do with Draco... that he wanted to give him. No matter what he did, though, he couldn't seem to act on his emotions. 'Damn!' he thought, sinking lower into the water, 'Damn him for making me feel like this! And- damn Vernon for... ruining me for anybody else!' He sighed again and shook the thoughts from his head, washing quickly and performing a quick spell on his clothes to clean them.
When he stepped out of the bathroom, he scanned the room for Draco. Not seeing him, he walked over to the perfectly made bed, getting a strange feeling of satisfaction from jumping onto the clean sheets and tossing them about. He turned onto his stomach, burying his face in one of the pillows.
He inhaled deeply, wishing that the object smelled like Draco and not the impersonal scent of laundry soap. He felt the tears escape before he even realized that they were gathering. Eventually, he drifted into a light sleep, still thinking of blonde hair and cool, blue-grey eyes.
Draco came back nearly an hour later to find Harry still sleeping, curled around a pillow. He smiled fondly, moving to sit on the edge of the bed. It was then that he noticed the tear-streaks on his face and the way that he was clutching the pillow. He placed a hand on Harry’s shoulder, but the moment he touched him, Harry sprang from the bed, his eyes wide and fearful.
“Harry, calm down,” Draco said soothingly, standing up, “It’s just me…”
Recognition passed over his face and he relaxed visibly. “I- I thought you were…”
“He can’t get you here,” Draco said, stepping around the bed and pulling Harry into his arms, “And even if he woke up tomorrow and found some way to get here, I’d kill him before he could ever lay a hand on you.”
Harry smiled, relaxing even more in Draco’s strong, protective embrace. These were not arms that meant to harm him. This was not Vernon. It was Draco. Harry looked up at him, studying his angelic face. Draco wanted to protect him. He had spent so long protecting everybody else, he had forgotten what it was like to feel- safe. Actually, he had never really felt safe. Not living with Vernon. ‘And Draco is nothing like Vernon.’
“Draco?” he said quietly.
“Hmm?” Draco said.
“Do you- that is, would you…” he stumbled over what to say, blushing, “I mean, I wanted to ask- I…”
“Harry?” Draco’s brow furrowed in confusion. Why was Harry blushing? ‘Unless…’
He buried his face in Draco’s shoulder, breathing in his calming scent. “I want a relationship…” he said in a barely audible whisper.
“Really?” Draco asked, surprised.
Harry nodded. “With you.”
Draco smiled brilliantly, tightening his arms around the small boy. “I was wondering when you’d admit it.”
Harry blushed again. “Smug.”
“You bet,” Draco said, “Get used to it.”
“I guess I’ll have to,” he said, “I think I can handle your many faults.”
“I’ll have you know that I have no faults,” Draco said, “I am perfect in every possible way.”
Harry scoffed. “Whatever you say.”
“Exactly,” Draco said, “You see? You agree with me.”
Harry rolled his eyes.
“Um… Draco, have you seen Harry?” Hermione said coming into the room.
“As a matter of fact, I have,” Draco replied, grinning.
Hermione chuckled. “I see…”
“Were you looking for me for very long?” Harry asked.
“Not me- Ron,” Hermione said.
Harry sighed. “Of course… you’d think he was my father.”
“Rather protective, eh?” Draco asked.
“Only a lot,” Hermione said, then called over her shoulder, “Ron! I found him!”
Draco released Harry, unsure of whether he wanted Ron to know. Harry looked up at him dejectedly. “What’s wrong?”
“I- didn’t think you’d want him to know about us,” Draco said.
“Well, you were wrong,” Harry said, “I don’t care who knows. I’m happy. If my friends are really my friends, then they’ll be happy that I’m happy.”
Draco smirked, rewrapping his arms around him. Harry turned around and placed a quick kiss on Draco’s lips, just as Ron stepped into the room.
“What the bloody hell is that?” Ron exclaimed.

I’m sorry that it’s so short. I’ll try to make the next one longer. Until next time- which hopefully won’t be so long- TTFN.
