Harry looked into the blue gray eyes in front of him and gave the only answer his tongue would form.

"Yes," Draco visibly relaxed and leaned forward to rest his head on Harry's shoulder. Harry bit his lip when Draco nuzzled his neck and wrapped his arms even tighter around Harry's waist.

"I know I need to let go, and I will, in just a minute," The worlds were muffled and soaked in so much emotion that Harry realized, for the first time, that maybe Draco had been thinking about this for a while.

"Draco," when the name fell out of his mouth, he felt Draco smile against his neck, which in turn caused him to smile, "It's not that I mind so much, but we both know the kind of uproar it would cause if anyone saw us like this."

"No one will see us, or if they do they won't notice us, disillusionment charm. I think you're a little rusty, Harry. I was able to raise my wand and charm you without you even knowing," Draco pulled back out of Harry's arms and he was puzzled when they felt heavy without the other boy.

Draco was smiling at him smugly, but it was different without the outright hatred that he used to see on his face. Harry found he didn't quite mind it when it was done in jest. Harry laughed and delighted in the laugh that came from Draco.

"Maybe I am, but at least you didn't hex me," Then they were just standing there looking at each other and the air got very heavy. The urge for Harry to just fall into the person in front of him was so strong and he was baffled. How had they gone from absolute enemies to this… this whatever it was that had them making out in dark corners under disillusionment charms?

"I think I'm quite finished with that, or at least I hope I am. Could we maybe try studying together again? I could help you with your potions again and I could always use help in the practical application of DADA."

Draco was looking at him pleadingly and there was so much hope there, and something Harry couldn't identify. He wanted to though, he wanted to know exactly what Draco was trying to hide. He thought with a little more time the boy just might spill all. So yeah, that was the reason he was going to take the offer of "friendship" this time. It certainly had nothing to do with the fact that he wanted more conversation, more kisses, more time, more everything.

"Ok, we can give it a try, but I think it's best if we stick with being study partners for now. Because this," He waved his hand between them, "This weird, angry, can't decide if I want to hit or kiss you stuff is more than confusing."

"Well, I'm hoping to clear that up for you as quickly as possible. But for now, friends?" Draco held his hand out and Harry recalled his recent dreams. He didn't hesitate, he grabbed the other boy's hand, but didn't stop there. He pulled Draco in for a hug and shivered uncontrollably when he felt a gentle kiss on his cheek.

It took great effort to put himself on the line, once again, and ask for the hand of the beautiful Boy Who Lived. His heart was icy and achy and he wasn't sure he'd survive if Harry didn't respond, but he had to try. It was symbolic to him even if the other boy didn't understand the significance. He relaxed and tried to hide his jubilation when his hand was accepted. Then he was hauled into a hug.

He couldn't stop himself and knew he was likely to bewilder Harry further, but he gave into his desire, or at least the only one halfway appropriate at that time, and kissed Harry's cheek. When the boy didn't jerk away he was tempted to push farther. He wanted to push just as far and Harry would let him, but he knew that he couldn't give in to that urge. The last thing he wanted to do, now or ever, was scare Harry away.

He did let himself hold on longer that was strictly friendly, but that compulsion would not be denied. He figured it was ok when Harry sighed and melted just a little into him. It was be so easy to just let his instincts carry him, just give in and take what he wanted. But, there was a truth his body was trying hard to avoid. He didn't just want the other boy physically, he wanted him in every possible way. The only way to achieve that was going to take hard work. He'd have to resist his own natural reaction to being in Harry's presence and fight against Harry's inclination to take everything that came out of his recently stupid mouth as an insult.

When he realized the hand rubbing up and down Harry's back was lingering far too long at the bottom and trying to go lower, with great difficulty, he stepped back. His mouth tried to stretch into a grin when he saw the look of slight disappointment on his face. He controlled himself, though, and his lips only twitched. Maybe he really wouldn't have to wait so long.

"So, um, are we going to make this a weekly thing? Or how are we going to do it? Ron and Hermione will be suspicious, but I'll figure something out. I think once a week is all I'll be able to manage for now though," Harry actually looked sad about it, which of course only made Draco happier.

"I'd like to make it nightly, but I understand why that might be a problem for you. How about we meet next week, same time, same place and go from there?" He despaired at the idea that he'd only get to have Harry to himself for such a short time and only weekly, but he'd put his devious mind to use over the next week and come up with something more to his liking. Like maybe a one-way portkey to a remote island under a fidelius charm…

"Ok, and if we run into each other before then? How are we going to do this, Draco? You saw how I overreacted tonight, I'm not sure I can handle the insults daily and still feel like we're making progress, or that things are really changing between us."

"You just let me worry about that. I'll make sure we don't run into each other anymore than necessary, and when we do, I'll just ignore you. But, Weasley and Granger are another problem altogether. If they provoke, I'll be forced to react. There are reasons for that and I'll explain it to you just as soon as I know what's going on myself. But, I can't be seen backing down from any of you, ever."

"Alright, I'll do my best to keep them from being openly hostile. But why will you be forced? What's going on, Draco? Is it something I need to know? We can't start off like this, you know. Lies and half truths won't make for the best friendship."

"I know, and I'd ask you to trust me, but we're not there yet, so let me just promise that I will tell you everything I know after I visit the Manor. Father has requested my presence the weekend after next. Until then I won't be positive of anything. But, I'm not sure that I like certain things that I've heard recently, so I know whatever reason he has for wanting to see me can't be good."

He also knew that no one could hear that things were changing between himself and the Savior of the Wizarding World. He was frightened thinking about how his father might spin that to his own advantage. He knew things were soon going to be very different for all of them, he just didn't know exactly how it would come about. One thing he was absolutely sure of however, was that he would in the very near future have to choose his allegiances, and he hoped with all his heart that he'd have the option to stand by Harry's side.
