Chapter Nineteen
Careful What You Wish For
By Coco Bebo aka EternusCaries
Chapter Nineteen
Waking up the next morning Harry found it hard to believe that he and Draco had shared a kiss last night. Not just a kiss, but their first kiss in what Harry had fervently began hoping would be the first one of many. Dressing for classes and looking over at the still sleeping Draco he wondered why instead of just standing there wishing he could be kissing Draco he didn't just walk over there and do it.
Remembering what Draco said last night was the thing that pushed him to do it, he wanted to show Draco that he had just as much balls to push their relationship further as Draco did. He had a last moment of doubt standing over Draco before he leaned down and kissed the sleeping boy. He pulled back and couldn't help the smile that broke out over his features when he saw the half awake confused looking Slytherin.
“Morning sunshine.”
It took Draco a couple of minutes to get awake enough to realize that yes Harry just kissed him and yes now he was standing above him waiting for him to say something back, “there is a reason why I take my showers in the morning Potter.” He could see immediately that wasn't what Harry had wanted to hear but he just wasn't a morning person.
“Fine fine I'll let you take your shower and then we'll try again.”
Draco watched Harry walk over to his desk and sit down, pulling out the paper he was working on for the advanced transfiguration class he was in. Draco threw the covers off and stood up, stretching as he continued to watch Harry. He had been afraid at first that maybe his less than enthusiastic response would hurt the Gryffindor's feelings but he seemed to be fine. He went into the bathroom and began the process of waking up.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lucius Malfoy was not pleased with how things in his life were turning out. He had lost his family and a part of him told him that it was his own fault. He had become manic and obsessive with his duty to the Dark Lord, but the more logically part (at least what he thought was his most logically part) told him that it was the fact he had been living with a filthy traitorous wife that made him fall short in the eyes of the Dark Lord. His logically part also told him that of course his son turned out he way he did, his disgusting excuse for a mother had probably been filling his son's head with lies for years.
He threw his glass into his fireplace and didn't flinch when it shattered with a loud noise. Even though he had reasons for what his family did it did not help him in the circle of followers. He was being ridiculed and mocked, not to mention that the Dark Lord himself had asked him how his family could be the way they are without Lucius knowing until right now. He had been demoted in the ranks and was lucky if the Dark Lord called him to half of the meetings anymore.
Standing up he grabbed his cane and made his way to the fireplace, it was time for his work at the ministry. He looked up at the old portrait hanging above it before leaving and stared long and hard at his wife's smiling face. He would make sure she paid for the pain she had caused him. He threw the floo powder into the fireplace and left for work.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco felt exceptionally better as he finished with his hair, opening the door to the bathroom he found himself caught off guard for the second time that morning. Harry was there waiting for him and as soon as the door was opened fully he found his mouth suddenly full of Harry's tongue. Being awake and in a better mood however Draco grabbed Harry by his shirt and pulled him closer, returning the kiss with just as much passion.
When they finally pulled apart Harry smiled brightly and backed away some, “you really did just need to wake up.”
Draco rolled his eyes and pushed past him, breakfast was already beginning and he didn't want to walk in late with a blushing Harry, “of course, did you think I didn't like it? I was the one who initiated this entire thing.”
Harry shrugged and picked up his book bag, slinging it around his shoulder still smiling, “yea, so maybe I'm a little insecure. Last night felt more like a dream than anything when I woke up so I just wanted to make sure.”
Draco couldn't help the small smile that slipped onto his face as he grabbed his own book bag, “yea well now that you are sure let's go get some breakfast.”
“You know you could always sit with us right? I mean, I know that the Slytherin table has to be hostile...”
Draco thought about it for a moment, it was slightly tempting to eat breakfast with Harry but after a minute he shook his head, “if I am going to be an example for other Slytherin's I'm going to have to show them that it is possible to still be a Slytherin after denying the Dark Lord. Which means eating at the Slytherin table and going to Slytherin events.”
Harry fought back the urge to argue, knowing that Draco was right but not enjoying the idea of Draco being anywhere near Zabini, “alright, well you know where I am if you run into any trouble.”
“oh please Potter, I'm not going to say that I didn't appreciate your help but I can take care of myself. I was foolish for letting them catch me off guard but it isn't going to happen again.”
Harry sighed and opened their door for Draco, “yea well I'll be watching too.”
Draco walked past him and shrugged, “I'd be lying if I said I didn't want you to be.”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ron sat at the Gryffindor table with Hermione, after thinking it through the night before (and with a lot of harassing from Hermione) he realized that Draco was just doing what any person in his situation would have done. He still didn't like how close him and Harry had become and even though he would never admit it out loud he was jealous of their new friendship.
He saw them walk in together and share a strange (at least to Ron) look before they parted ways, Draco making his way with his head held high to the Slytherin table. He watched as Draco sat with the three girls Hermione had told him where following in Draco's footsteps and realized he was glad the Slytherin wasn't entirely alone in the snake pit.
Harry sat down across from them and smiled, “morning guys, sorry we didn't get to hang out much yesterday but I'm guessing that can change now?” He was looking at Ron and Ron felt himself blush a little as he nodded.
“Yea, sorry about that Harry. I guess sometimes I can be a dick.” He was pleased when he saw Harry's smile brighten and saw him relax.
“Yea well so can I so I think we're alright.”
They started to talk about quidditch like usual, eating in comfort as Hermione chimed in every so often about what they had scheduled for today. He noticed how Harry kept glancing over at the Slytherin table and realized that he would have his hands full with helping Harry keep an eye on their new ally.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco sighed as he listened to his new found friends, he didn't mind that they were all girls but he sort of wished they would talk about other things besides who they thought was cute.
“What's wrong Draco? You look bored.” Flora threw a roll at him and he grabbed it before it could hit him in the face.
“Well I can't really join in on your conversation, I don't think that Justin Finch-Fletchley is all that cute myself.”
Millicient rolled her eyes, “that's only because you only have eyes for Harry. Sure he's cute but he's too obvious to gossip about you know.”
Draco looked at her and refused to let his shock show on his face, “what do you mean I only have eyes for Harry? He's the only male friend I have anymore who else do you expect me to hang out with.”
“Oh please Draco, other people might be too blind to notice it but we aren't. You and Harry are always making eyes at each other.”
Draco opened his mouth to object but then closed it again, he didn't think that they had been that obvious with their new found infatuation. “Just be quiet and keep your theories to yourself alright?”
They laughed before going back to the reasons why Justin Finch-Fletchely was a good looker and Draco was left once again to listen to their banter.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Severus sat by Narcissa at the head table and watched as Draco ate his breakfast, only chiming in to his new friends every few minutes. He didn't necessarily think that Draco was depressed, more like he was bored by his lack of male friends. He looked over to the Gryffindor table and shook his head as Ron and Harry were deep into conversation, watching as Hermione rolled her eyes and said something every now and then. He wondered how the young girl could stand hanging around the two idiot Gryffindor's every day. She was very bright and shared almost nothing in common with the two boys.
“Do you think he will be alright today Severus?”
He looked over to Narcissa and nodded as he took a bite of eggs, “I think he'll be fine, him and Potter will probably spend every minute together again which means that any Slytherin that wants to get at Draco will have to go through Potter and probably Potter's friends.”
Narcissa looked relieved by the news and went back to eating, Severus wished he could stop worrying about everything so easily, but knew that would never happen. He glanced over to Albus and rolled his eyes when he saw the old man smiling brightly, no doubt the old coot knew something that he didn't and more than likely it wouldn't make Severus near as happy as it was making Albus.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Albus couldn't keep the smile off of his face as he watched the continuous glances that the two boys were giving each other. It reminded him of when he was in school, experiencing his first romance with one of his friends. Not that he was absolutely sure that the boys had romantic feelings for each other but he was getting there.
It was also good to see that young Ron had came to his senses. He knew that Harry and Ron had their arguments but Harry always seemed to be more complete with both of his friend's at his side. Draco would soon come to find that the friendship of the three girls in his company to be quite the same. Or at least that was Albus' bet. Draco wasn't used to continuous companionship with friends, but once these girls proved themselves to him they were be his best friends.
Going back to his breakfast Albus couldn't help but think of the unavoidable danger that was in the future for all of them, even Narcissa and Severus. However he knew that things always worked themselves out for the better and had full faith that Tom Riddle would not be able to bother them much longer.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Pansy leaned closer to Blaise as she watched Draco with his newly found friends, “I say we follow Draco tonight to see just how he gets in and out of that room of his, if we can get to Draco we can get to Harry.”
Blaise nodded as he shoved another piece of bacon in his mouth.
