Part II: The Get Together

Hours passed by as Draco slept. His dreams were filled with nothing but Harry. Draco suddenly hears hooting and thinks it might be in his dreams. Draco keeps hearing it and hearing it. He wakes up and looks around. Sure enough his owl is sitting on the desk hooting trying to wake him up. He has Severus’s letter in his beak. Draco gets up and goes to the owl, takes the letter and gives it a treat. He sits down and begins to read the letter.

Draco,
It’s nice to be hearing from you my godson. This is some problem you have here.
Lets see if I can help. Do you know exactly the way you feel about this man? That
counts for everything. Follow those feelings. You’ve probably never been with
another man and that’s ok. You two may not know how to approach each other.
Just do what your body tells you and you both should be fine. I must be going.
Follow those feelings and they will lead you to where you want to be. Let me know
how things go? Maybe in your next letter you can tell me who this young man is?
Write back soon?

Severus Snape

Draco doesn’t know what to do. He doesn’t know what his feelings for Harry are. I guess its time I figured them out, but how? What am I suppose to do? Walk up to him and say, ‘ Harry I was stupid earlier. Can I try again? I reacted so horribly. ‘ And hope he accepts. Draco thinks.
Draco rolls his eyes in disbelieve at the thought. He keeps trying to come up with ways to approach Harry and thinks every idea is as horrible as the last. “Alright I’ll walk up to him and say what I’m feeling.” Draco says to himself. Looking at his owl. It is late and Draco is getting hungry. So he goes downstairs to get himself something to eat.

* * *

Harry is sitting at a table by himself. He had come down thirty minutes earlier to get something to eat. Now that his food is sitting in front of him he isn’t as hungry as before. He is too busy thinking about Draco and his reaction to finding out Harry’s secret. He doesn’t know what he was going to.
He is so into thought he doesn’t even see Draco come downstairs. He doesn’t see him motion to Tom for food. He doesn’t even see Draco look around, spot Harry, and walk over to where he is sitting.
Harry does hear him say, ” Is this seat taken? “
“ Uh no go ahead. “ Harry looks up into Draco’s eyes and watches as he sits down in the chair across from where he is sitting. Neither one saying a thing at first. Tom eventually comes over with Draco’s food and puts it in front of him.
Harry breaks the silence, “ Here Malfoy. “ He pulls out money from his pocket and hands it to Draco. “ Here is the money I owe you for paying for my room last night. “
Draco looks at Harry and takes the money, “ Thanks. And you can call me Draco. “
“ Oh ok. Your welcome Draco. “ Harry says looking into Draco’s eyes as Draco looks into his eyes.
“ Look Harry I’m sorry for my outburst this morning. It was stupid of me. I shouldn’t be so surprised you like me. I guess its not that hard to believe. Can we try and maybe see where these feelings go. We do have a month and two weeks to figure it out. “ Draco says all at once, holding his breath, waiting for Harry to respond.
Harry doesn’t know what to say. He is astounded to not only hear Draco ask Harry to give them a chance, but to apologize for his earlier outburst. He has never heard Draco admit himself to be wrong. He indeed has done that.
“ Draco you do know you just apologized, right? “ asks Harry.
“ Hmm I guess I did. And look the world didn’t end. “ says Draco looking at Harry. They look at each other then Harry bursts into laughter. Draco looks at Harry as if he is crazy and then realizes why he is laughing and starts laughing himself.
People were beginning to stare at them and give them dirty looks. Both young men did not care. They were having fun talking and hanging out. The night went by like a flash of light. Before either of them knows it, it is midnight. They are both tired but don’t want it to end. They are having too much fun. Tom shows up, “ Sorry guys, but you need to go upstairs and go to bed, because we are closing up down here. “
Both men look at each other and say, “ ok. “ They head upstairs to their rooms. Once in front of Harry’s room they stop. They stand there in silence not knowing what to do. Each of them looks into the other’s eyes and Draco decides it is time to make a move. Draco reaches over and pulls Harry into his arms and puts his hand on the back of Harry’s neck and kisses him.
Harry is surprised at first but quickly begins kissing Draco back. Draco licks Harry’s bottom lip and Harry opens his mouth in astonishment. Draco takes it upon himself to deepen the kiss. Their tongues weave together in an unknown dance to them. It soon becomes familiar. They stop only when both can no longer breath.
“ Wow that was . . . “ Harry doesn’t finish the sentence. He is too out of breath. Draco has pushed Harry up against the wall and their foreheads are touching.
“ Yeah. “ is all Draco can say.
“ That was definitely something. I thought kissing a girl was wonderful. That was exhilarating. That is something we are going to have to keep repeating. “ Draco smiles into Harry’s eyes.
“ Draco? “
“ Yeah? “
“ Do you have to go back to your room? “
“ As much as I don’t want to, I better. We don’t need to be going so fast. We only just realized that we have feelings for each other this morning. Lets look at them more before we go to bed together. “
“ We don’t have to do anything. I want to share a bed for the night. I’ve always wanted to know what it would be like to wake up next to someone and that someone be you. I’ve always been alone. “
“ As tempting as that sounds I better go back to my room. “ Draco kisses Harry one last time and says good night, he goes to his own room.
Harry stands there wishing Draco had said yes. He understands and goes into his room to go to bed. Draco is all his dreams are about. He wakes from one dream sweating and has the biggest hard-on. He jacks off thinking of Draco. Only when he has his release is he able to sleep. He sleeps fitfully the rest of the night.

* * *

The days go by quite peacefully, both getting along and generally having fun in each other’s company. They only kissed or flirted when they knew they were alone. Mostly they acted as really good friends. Before long it is two weeks later and Harry’s birthday is a day away.
Draco knows this and wants to do something for Harry. He doesn’t know what. Then it hits him as he watches Harry walk downstairs for breakfast. Harry walks over and sits across from Draco giving him a heart felt smile. Draco returns the smile and they order their food.
While waiting, Draco begins thinking. What if I let him have my virginity? He’d love that as a present, but I always said I’d only let someone I love have something so precious to me. What exactly are my feelings for him? I know I like him. I defiantly care about him. Mum always said that to love someone you have to care about them, you’d do anything for them and you would be lost with out them. Is that how I feel about Harry? He cannot think about it anymore because Harry had interrupted his thoughts.
“ Draco is everything ok. You’ve been spaced out all morning. “ Harry looks worried.
“ I’m fine. Sorry my mind is wondering. “ Draco says, looking at Harry and giving him a smile. Harry still looks worried but says ok.
Draco doesn’t get to think about it much after that. After breakfast they decide to go walk around Diagon Ally. The men become frequent visitors to some of the shops. Since Draco loves to shop he is always buying something.
They finally stop at a small café for lunch. Both order and while waiting for there food start talking. “ Harry I have a question. Have you ever been in love? “ asks Draco.
“ Um no. I ‘ve never really been with anyone. “ Harry is a little confused. “ Why? “
“ Oh no reason I was just starting a conversation. Why haven’t you ever been with anybody? “ Draco tries to look as if this is a normal conversation for him and fails miserably.
“ Well, everybody I care about usually gets hurt or dies. I try and not get close to anyone. “ Harry can see that Draco is hiding something.
“ Oh ok. “ Draco looks away.
“ Draco, is there something you want to say? “ Harry has a begging look in his eyes.
“ Um, I do, but not here out in the open where everybody can hear. “ Draco starts eating.
Through out the rest of lunch neither one says a word. Once done they go back to the Leaky Cauldron and up to Harry’s room. Draco closes the door behind him and sits on the bed while Harry stands.
“ Ok what is it you want to tell me Draco? “ asks Harry.
Draco isn’t sure whether to tell Harry or not. He comes out and says it, “ Harry . . . . I . . . . I’m in love with you. “
Harry is silent for a long time and Draco begins to get worried. “ Harry please say something? You’re worrying me. “
Instead of saying something Harry pounces Draco. Draco lands with an umpf. Harry starts kissing Draco. Their tongues doing a dance both know by heart now. Harry’s hand is moving up into Draco’s shirt. His thumb is barely touching one of Draco’s nipples. Draco moans into Harry’s mouth. While Harry’s other hand is moving to undo Draco’s pants. Harry starts moving in a rhythm and all Draco can do is moan back his acceptance and join in. Once Draco hears and feels Harry unzip his pants he knows it needs to end and now.
“ Harry stop! “ Harry tries to keep going, then Draco says, “ Please Harry?” Harry stops what he is doing and looks into Draco’s eyes. He is asking Harry ‘please’ through his eyes. Harry sits up a little more.
“ What’s wrong? Do you not want this? “ asks Harry.
“ Of course I do Harry, but not now. “ says Draco.
“ Why? “
“ I want it to be special and tomorrows your birthday. Why not wait till tomorrow night? “
“ I know its special. Its special for both of us. Why tomorrow night? “
“ I want it to be your birthday present. “
“ Really? Now that’s Romantic. “ Harry kisses Draco on the lips and says, “ Ok I can wait till tomorrow. “
“ I guess you could call it that. Thanks Harry. “ Draco kisses Harry again and Harry gets off Draco. Once Harry is off of him Draco buttons his pants and stands up. They both still have a hard-on and are very uncomfortable. Finally Draco says, “ I’m going to go ahead and leave. I think a cold shower would be a good idea right now.”
“ Yeah, “ is all Harry can say. Draco gives Harry one last kiss and leaves the room. Once Draco has left, Harry heads for a cold shower as well.
After they had both had their showers they stayed in their separate rooms studying. Before either of them knows it, it is dinnertime. Neither wants to go downstairs and eat because they don’t want to see the other. It would have been too awkward. They stayed in their rooms and Tom brought them their food. They ate in piece wishing they had each other’s company. They were bored and lonely.
Harry starts thinking, Why are we doing this? Why are we being shy? You know what? I think I’m going to end our stupidness right now. There is no reason for us to be shy, ok there is, not this shy. Harry gets up. He leaves his room to end up in front of the door to Draco’s room. He hesitates for a brief moment then knocks.
At first there is no response. Harry knocks again. A couple of seconds later Draco opens the door in nothing, but boxers. It takes everything in Harry to keep from pouncing Draco again. “ What took you so long to answer the door? “ Harry asks. “Were you sleeping? “
“ No I was jacking off and thinking of you., “ says Draco. Harry’s mouth drops. “ Yes I was sleeping. “
“ Oh. “ says Harry closing his mouth. Draco rolls his eyes.
“ So what do you want, Harry? “ asks Draco.
“ Um well . . . . “
“ Come on, spit it out. I was having a good dream. “ What Harry doesn’t know is that the dream was about him. It happened to be a very naughty dream.
“ Well I thought it stupid for us to be avoiding each other and being shy.”
“ Oh, is that all? “
“ Can I come in Draco? “
“ Uh yeah sure why not. “
Draco steps aside and Harry walks past him. Draco closes the door and walks over by the bed and puts his pants on. “ Ok talk. “
“ Why are you being rude? You are the one who wants to wait till tomorrow. “ Harry is annoyed.
“ Yes I know. You woke me up. Yeah I’m going to be rude. “
“ Oh sorry. “
“ No problem. “ Draco is getting pissed.
Harry looks Draco up and down. He looks from head to toe then back up. Landing on Draco’s face. He can see Draco is a little annoyed. The next thing Draco knows, he is being kissed. Harry had, seeing Draco annoyed, wanted to make it better. It doesn’t entirely work.
Harry and Draco kiss for a couple minutes. Without warning Draco stops Harry and says, “ What are you doing? “
“ Your so damn hot. I couldn’t resist and I can see you’re a little annoyed. I didn’t want you to be. I thought kissing you would help. “ says Harry.
“ Oh! Maybe you should go back to your room Harry. “
“ Draco don’t make me leave? Why can’t we hold each other? Just for tonight. I don’t think I can be alone anymore. “ Harry has tears in his eyes.
Draco looks at Harry, sympathy evident in his eyes. “ Harry your not alone. You have your friends Ron and Hermione. You also have me. “ Draco goes to Harry and pulls him into his arm’s and holds him.
“ Something will happen to you. If it does and I lose you, I don’t know what I’d do. “ Harry is still crying.
“ Nothing is going to happen to me. Why, would it? I have you to protect me? “ Draco kisses Harry putting all the love into the kiss.
“ Draco? “
“ Harry come to bed? “ Harry takes off his shirt and joins Draco in his bed. They cuddle all night long. Sleeping in each other’s arms and are so very content.

* * *

The next morning Harry wakes up and is still in Draco’s arms. Harry is so comfortable he snuggles closer into Draco’s warm body. He does not want to wake up yet.
“ Harry? “
“ I don’t want to get up yet. I’m comfortable. “
“ I know, but we have to. Harry? “
“ Yeah? “
“ Happy Birthday Love. “
“ Thank you. “ Harry leans up on one arm giving Draco a very passionate kiss. Both smile at each other and Draco motions to the end of the bed. Harry looks and sees his presents from all his friends.
“ Is that all you ever get for your birthday? “
“ Yeah. Why is that a problem? “
“ No its not. I usually get tons and its weird to me.
“ Oh ok. “
Harry opens everyone’s presents. There were some from Hermione, Ron, Hagrid, and Remus. Some from most of the rest of the Weasley’s. Harry loved everything he received this year.
Harry was ecstatic about all of his gifts. He turned to look at Draco and Draco is smiling. “ I’m extremely hungry Dray. Can we get ready and go get breakfast, please? “ Begs Harry giving Draco a sad puppy dog look.
“ Hold on Harry. There are some more presents you need to open. “ Draco is smiling again.
“ I don’t see anymore. “ Harry looks around the room and is a little confused.
Draco digs in between the wall and bed. Seconds later pulls out a couple of packages, all from Draco to Harry.
“ Draco you didn’t need to get me anything. I thought tonight would be enough. Plus I never got you anything for your birthday. “
“ Its ok Harry I wanted to. Besides Hermione bought them for me so I could give them to you. I owe her though. “ Draco smiles.
“ I’m really glad you are getting along with Hermione. It means a lot to me. Now we need to get Ron to not be mad and pig headed. “ Harry was a little worried about Ron.
“ Well are you going to open them or not? “ asks Draco.
Harry smiles and tares into the first one. It is a new broom servicing kit. The second is another book on quidditch. The third is smaller then first two. Harry is a little anxious. He looks up at Draco and he urges Harry on. Harry goes back to unwrapping his last present.
Harry is surprised to say the least when the gift is fully unwrapped. He cannot contain himself and jumps on top of Draco kissing him senseless
“ Here let me put it on for you. “ Draco laughs at Harry’s reaction, as he helps Harry clasp the back of a beautiful gold (white) bracelet. It is a small plague that says ‘ DM+HP=LoveForever. ’ It is the most wonderful thing Harry has ever received from anyone. Other then the invisibility cloak of his father’s that Dumbledore had given him for Christmas his first year at Hogwarts.
“ Thank you Dray. I’ve never been given anything so wonderful. I love it. “ Harry feels pleased to know Draco.
Both young men get up, have their separate showers and then go to breakfast. Enjoying themselves. Harry cannot stop looking at the bracelet on his wrist and back at Draco. Draco would smile and laugh to himself at the act.
Of course Tom has to wish Harry a Happy Birthday along with everyone in the Leaky Cauldron. It is actually quite cute. Harry was getting annoyed by it. He was tired of being the famous ‘ Harry Potter the Boy Who Lived. ‘ Draco had to keep telling Harry to ignore them as they toured Diagon Ally for the hundredth time.
The day went by slowly and Harry was becoming inpatient. Draco on the other hand was anxious about that night. Only because he had very special plans for that night.
Draco had a late dinner planed out. Tom had it all set up. Draco was to keep Harry busy until ten. Then both him and Harry were to come downstairs for a very romantic dinner together alone. After dinner they were going to go upstairs and make love.
Draco wanted it to be truly special for the both of them. He wanted nothing to go wrong and smiled all day long. What was to happen after dinner had him extremely nervous.
Harry on the other hand was as nervous and was having trouble hiding it. Every time Draco would go to hold Harry’s hand he would jump. Or if Draco went to give him a kiss Harry would be sort of surprised then start kissing him back.
Other then that the day went wonderfully. Up until the Weasleys and Hermione arrived around noon. This was not good for Draco. He had a feeling the dinner wasn’t going to go as planned.
Both boys were at the Leaky Cauldron having lunch and talking. Simply enjoying each other’s company. When all of a sudden they all walked through the front door to the Leaky Cauldron.
Harry was happy at first but soon it died down. Once Ron seen Harry and Draco sitting together eating lunch and enjoying themselves, he went off. “ I don’t believe it. It is true. Malfoy you must have a curse on Harry. There is no way you two can be friends let alone a couple. I mean its Malfoy for crying out loud. “
Hermione spoke up before Ron could say more. “ Honestly Ron. Hello Harry, Draco. How are you two doing? “ She gave them both kisses on the cheek.
“ Hey Mione. We are doing fine. Thank you. I’m so glad to see you. “ Then both Ron’s parents came over and said hello.
“ Harry I don’t have a problem with you being gay mate. This is Draco bloody Malfoy. He has insulted all three of us through out all the years we’ve been at Hogwarts. He is a slytherin for crying out loud. “ Ron was confused and pissed.
“ Ron? Harry is our friend. We need to be supportive. Besides I think they are a cute couple. So does Professor Dumbledore. Sorry Harry but he meddled. “ says Hermione.
“ If I recall Hermione you meddled as well. “ says Draco.
“ Yes I did, but all I did is get you two actually talking. The rest was all Dumbledore. “ responds Hermione.
“ Yeah we know. “ Harry rolls his eyes.
“ So Harry what do you two have planned for the rest of the day? “ asks Hermione.
“ Well Hermione if we told you we would have to kill you. “ responds Draco with a serious look on his face making Harry blush.
“ Eww that is disgusting! I didn’t want to know that! “ Ron wants to throw up.
“ I wasn’t implying that we were going to have sex Weasley. Man I thought I had a dirty mind. “ Draco rolls his eyes.
“ Draco, stop. Ron is already having problems with us being together as it is. “ Harry’s getting a little annoyed.
“ What? I didn’t say anything improper. I stated the truth. “
“ Well they don’t need to know our business. It’s ours and ours alone, ok? “
“ Alright I’ll be quiet, but only because I have nothing else to say. “ Draco sticks his tongue out at Harry. Harry rolls his eyes.
“ Aww you two are so cute. “ Hermione coos.
“ Oh please Mione? It’s disgusting. “ Ron gags.
Both Harry and Draco roll their eyes at the two and start heading upstairs. Hermione and Ron stop arguing for a moment, realizing that they are no longer there, ask the boys where they are going. They turn around, look at her and say, “ Upstairs to our room, “ at the same time.
“ Oh, why? “ asks Hermione.
“ To be alone. “ Says Harry.
“ Um, eww. “ says Ron.
“ Not like that Ron. We are going to go talk. “ responds Harry.
“ Harry is that not a metaphor for having sex? “ asks Ron.
“ Not in this case, no Ron. “ responds Harry.
“ Oh ok. “ says Ron.
Then the boys turn around and head upstairs hand in hand. Hermione stares at the two in aww and Ron rolls his eyes.
