The game and love

22

Being on the field is an oppurtunity few men will have, but for those that have lived in these forty-eight minutes of time, they know the joy that victory can bring. The group surrounded Draco as he called them in and prepared his speech. "We know why we're here." He looked at the players. Harry had now appeared in the huddle. "We play for forty-eight minutes. Nothing we have outside of this feild matters until the final whistle. Not a thing. Look at the man next to you, he is your only concern." Draco eyed Harry and Ron. "On three, make plays. One....Two...Three." "MAKE PLAYS!"

Draco was in his game now. Slamming the helment on was like keys to the ignition. He was ready for this. Winnig this game would propel them into the semi-finals. This is where he lived, he really never recognized how he was zoned so that even having Harry on the field didn't demand a distraction. "Quick Z post, Y Flag." Draco broke the huddle and eyed the defense. He located a weakness instantly. "Malfoy back to throw, the line picks up the rush. Makes the throw to number 80 on the tunnel screen and Harry Potter takes the ball twelve yards up field."

"These two seem to have built a huge amount of chemisty in the short weeks we've seen them and this Potter kid is fast, so this panther team better double and triple cover him." Draco and Harry were on the same page, they seemed to know the other's thought and Harry was learning to read coverage. Ron of course was also catching balls. He had made an extra effort in practice since he felt a little bit slow.

Draco and company were domminant again. Harry caught seven passes for 156 yards and a touchdown. Ron caught nine passes for 78 yards and two touchdowns and Oliver Wood Ran for 167 yards and three touchdowns. Their opponents we shut out 56-0. Now, after the game, the challenge was the media. Draco still hadn't seen Harry's suprise yet and the media was swarming him. "They're all yours Drake." Ron replied sarcastically offer to grabbing his friend's helment. Draco shot him a scowl and then turned to the cameras and put on his best media coverage. He fumbled with his hair a bit and wiped sweat from his head with the top of his jersey.

"So Draco a great win, what did you see out there?" Draco looked at all the cameras, he didn't want to be a premadonna, but that was hard sometimes. He seemed to find the best answer he could and smiled. "Everything. Everyone did the right things and we got the job done." He looked at a small newspaperman who he knew as a friend of his mom. "Yes?" He called out to answer the man's question.

"You seem to have a chenisty with this number 80. What's his name....uh." He flipped through some papers. "Harry Potter...Can you explain why this has worked so well?" Draco prayed that he didn't blush. "I think it was just being on the same page, some games your really on. I think that's all there is." 'Whew, smooth move Draco.' He kicked himself. "Any thoughts on the semifinals?" "Not at the moment, we just won, let's get through that first.

Draco saw his salvation from this 3rd degree when Harry's suprise walked down near the exit. "Excuse me." He told the reporters and caught up with five people who seemed to be leaving together. "Hey guys!" He called. Two people turned around and Draco yelled again. "Harry will be out soon." He came into the locker room and quickly got undressed in a hurry and dressed in his street clothes. He looked over to Harry who was starting to dresss and said. "Hurry up! I got a suprise for you." Ignoring the grunts and groans of "I bet you do." from some of their teamates.

Harry obeyed but was slighty apprehensive. As they exited the tunnel from the lockerroom, Harry saw five people. Three he recognized, two he didn't. He waited for Draco's introduction. He shot smiles at His dad and sirius. "Still as flashy as ever, eh Harry?" Sirius smiled. Harry blushed a bit and His dad came up to give him a hug. "Thanks for letting me see that one more time." His dad just smiled warmly. Draco let a couple moments pass before introducing the two strangers.

"Harry, you've met my mom before." Harry nodded. "These are my froster brother and Sister, Tim and Lisa." Harry smilled. "Hi there." the little boy was behind his mom's leg, something Harry understood all too well. "Well." Draco interupted. "Did you like my suprise?" Draco's tone was a tad arrogant. "Harry smiled and gave him a hug. "Thanks." He whispered.

"EW!" Lisa exclaimed only to be hushed by her mother. "Lisa, Don't be rude." The little girl put on an innocent child face. "Ummmm, ok mommy." Harry snorted in Draco's shoulder causing Draco to laugh a bit. Then he eyed Lisa smirking. "Well, if someone is a little brat they won't get any ice cream." She stared wide eyed and then pouted as if someone had hurt her.

"Well, Harry and I should be home later mom. If that's ok with you Mister potter?" James waived him off. "I have things to sort out at home, you guys have fun. Ms. Malfoy would you let me know when the boys' arrive so I know they're fine?" Not a problem and please call me Narcissia." James nodded his head and Harry and Draco made their exit to the car and started the long drive to his mother's. "I didn't tell you, but my mom has this hot tub at the house, so we can relax."

Draco picked up on Harry's short smirk and blush. "Everything is sex with you huh?" Harry blushed redder. He gigled a bit. "Duh, I'm a teenage boy." Draco chuckled and slugged Harry playfully. "No, just a slut." Harry slugged back. "But I'm you're slut and you love me." Harry grinned teasingly. "Damn right." Draco gave a small shove. The rest of the ride was spent teasing and shoving and just playing around a bit.

When they arrived, Draco led Harry to the hot tub. They got undressed and Harry hadn't realized just how sore he felt. Both boys groans were loud and full of exertion. Harry got in, they were both naked. Harry made his way over to Draco and sat in his lap. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry's neck and placed a soft kiss on his neck. "This is nice." Harry replied, now fully relaxed. "Yeah." DRaco sighed softly.

Draco was playing with Harry's hair and whispering softly in his ear. Generally lost in thought. Both boys were shocked out of their wits when Draco's mom came in. "Oh, I'm sorry to frighten you boys." She answered shocked herself. "I'll let you're dad know you're here Harry." She was blushing. Harry nodded his response emberassed himself. She left promptly, but the relaxing mood was broken and so both boys agreed to go up to Draco's room.

They dried off and climed into a cool bed, still naked and pulled up the sheets over them, Draco pulled Harry into the spoon position and they both fell asleep. It had been just a long day and the other person being there was enough to make them forget any troubles. Even in their dreams they were together.
