It's Over

Christmas was quickly approaching and Harry and Draco\'s relationship remained undiscovered. Very few people were staying for the holidays. The few 7th years staying were Harry, Draco, Michael, Blaise, Pansy, and Seamus.

Seamus and Terry had been growing closer over the past few weeks. Dean had caught them once snogging in a corridor and very nearly killed Terry. Seamus had appealed to Ginny who had discussed the situation with Dean. He had then backed off considerably. It was now almost customary to see Terry and Seamus snogging on public.

It seemed as though Blaise and Michael had not talked since the incident in Hogsmeade. Blaise had told Draco, who had told Harry. Blaise, it seemed, was putting all his efforts into avoiding Michael at all costs. Neither had had any interaction since that day.

Ron and Hermione were both leaving for the holidays. Harry was secretly happy, this meant that he would have all the time in the world with Draco, with only Seamus to hide from. Everyone left the morning after classes ended. Harry woke up to an empty common room. Seamus came down moments later yawning with tossled hair. They went to breakfast where the hall was almost completely empty.

Michael was alone at the Ravenclaw table, so Harry invited him to eat with them. They passed by the Slytherin table. Harry leaned in to Seamus\'s side.

\"Do you mind if they come too?\" He asked in a low voice. Seamus looked around Harry to where Blaise, Draco, and Pansy were sitting. He cocked his head to the side and gave Harry a questioning look. He knew Harry was friendly with them now, but not that friendly.

\"Sure, I guess.\" Harry smiled at him.

\"Hey, Dra--Malfoy, you guys want to eat with us?\" Draco gave him a scathing look.

\"And soil my good reputation by dining with Gryffindors?\"

\"Yeah,\" said Harry. Draco shrugged.

\"Okay.\"

The three Slytherins got up and joined the rest. Up at the staff table, a twinkle could be percieved in the headmasters eye. Blaise eyed Michael with unease and took a seat furthest from him. They enjoyed a pleasane meal. Afterwards Harry and Draco slipped away to the grounds. They nestled themselves under a snow covered tree and watched the Giant Squid try to break the ice on the lake.

\"How much longer are we going to keep this a secret?\" Harry asked as he trailed his fingers through Draco\'s hair. Draco glanced up at him.

\"This was your idea, Potter. Don\'t tell me you want to back out now?\"

\"No, I\'m just getting tired of hiding it from Ron. I think he might be catching on. He\'ll only believe that I actually am going to the library so many times.\"

\"Well, if the Weasel might actually be getting smarter, than by all means, let\'s do tell.\" Harry gave Draco a mean look and smacked him upside the head. \"Hey!\" He exclaimed.

\"Don\'t call him that. He\'s really not that...daft...only sometimes,\" Draco gave him a look, \"Okay, all the time.\" Draco nodded. \"But he\'s a good friend.\"

\"Well, Harry, we don\'t all have \'good friends\'\" Said Draco sarcastically.

\"No, but you have me.\"

\"Don\'t make me gag, Potter.\" Harry smiled at him and shifted so that Draco was underneath him. \"Harry, this is awfully public.\" Harry smirked at him.

\"Exactly.\" He pressed his body into Draco\'s and Draco groaned. He pulled Harry towards him and their lips met. Draco manuevered and flipped them over. Tongues battled for dominance and Draco sucked on Harry\'s tongue. He nibbled Harry\'s lower lip and Harry moaned in pleasure.

\"God, Dracooo,\" he gasped as Draco moved to his neck. \"I want you now,\" he whispered. Draco stopped and moved up to eye level. There was a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

\"Not yet,\" he said and kissed Harry deeply. His hands traveled down Harry\'s body and slipped under his jeans. Harry\'s gasped and writhed under Draco\'s touch. Draco began stroking Harry and Harry bucked underneath him. Harry\'s breathing was shallow as he came. Draco removed his hand and cupped Harry\'s chin. Harry looked at him with his beautiful emerald green eyes.

\"When?\" He asked.

\"Later.\"

After that first day, all the 7th years ate their meals together. Blaise and Michael were still on the outs. One morning, a few days before Christmas, Blaise made a feeble excuse and left the breakfast table early. The rest of the students exchanged dubious looks. Harry turned to Michael.

\"Why don\'t you go talk to him?\" He asked. Michael sighed and looked after Blaise.

\"Look, Corner, Blaise is a Slytherin, he\'s not going to initiate a conversation about something he doesn\'t want to talk about. So, if you don\'t get off your fucking high horse and talk to him, I\'ll make you.\"

Michael gave Draco a startled look. He looked at the door through which Blaise had gone, then stood up and strode out after him.

\"Thank Merlin, I couldn\'t take anymore of those two avoiding each other,\" Harry said. Everyone else made sounds of assent.

***

Michael caught Blaise at the door to the dungeons.

\"Hey, Blaise!\" Blaise stopped but didn\'t turn around. Michael moved forward and come around to face Blaise. Blaise looked at him through sad and angry eyes.

\"What?\" He asked.

\"About what happened in Hogsmeade--\" He started, but Blaise interrupted him.

\"What about it! Nothing happened!\" He nearly yelled. Michael was taken aback but wouldn\'t allow Blaise to get out of it this time.

\"Yes, something happened, and it\'s okay! Blaise, there\'s nothing wrong with showing emotion.\" Blaise glared at him.

\"I\'m a Slytherin, Michael!\" Michael looked confused. Blaise let out an exasperated sigh. \"I\'m not supposed to!\"

Michael moved closer and put a hand on Blaise\'s arm. Blaise looked at his hand but didn\'t try to dislodge it. Michael leaned forward and brushed his lips against Blaise\'s. Blaise\'s eyes fluttered closed and he put his hands around Michaels waist and pulled him closer. The kiss deepened and Blaise pushed Michael against a wall.

At that moment, Harry and Seamus came out of the Great Hall and caught sight of them. They both grinned and went up the stairs to the common room.

\"So, do you miss Terry?\" Harry asked Seamus as they climbed a staircase. Seamus gave a whistful sigh.

\"Yeah, I kinda wish he was here. You know, Harry, you ought to find someone.\" Seamus looked at Harry. Harry merely smiled.

\"Maybe, eventually.\"

***

Christmas morning came and Harry and Seamus woke to a pile of presents. They spent an enjoyable morning unwrapping gifts and lounging in the common room. The Christmas feast was magnificant as usual. Blaise and Michael seemed to have made up fabulously and were inseparable. After the feast, Michael and Seamus went off to the library. Blaise tagged along and Pansy retreated to her common room to write a letter.

Harry and Draco were left to their own devices.

\"Want to come to the tower?\" Harry asked Draco once they were out of the Hall. A smirk crept over Draco\'s face.

\"You mean the all holy tower of the all powerful Gryffindors? Do you dub me worthy of thy glory?\" Harry laughed.

\"Yes, oh sarcastic one.\"

\"Well, then I suppose I could.\"

Draco followed Harrry up to Gryffindor Tower. Harry gave the password and the portrait swung open. Draco looked around as he entered.

\"I suppose you get used to the gold.\" Draco asked. Harry smiled and flopped down on the couch. Draco remained standing, so Harry grabbed his hand and pulled him down on top of him.

\"Mmm, you\'re so cute,\" said Harry. Draco looked appalled.

\"Malfoys are NOT cute, Potter.\" Harry grinned.

\"I thought you didn\'t want to be a Malfoy anymore.\" Harry said innocently. Draco slapped him on his arm.

\"Some things about being a Malfoy aren\'t so bad.\"

\"Yeah, like the Draco part,\" Harry pulled Draco down and ran his tongue around his mouth. He worked his lips apart and slipped his tongue in his mouth. Draco moaned in appreciation and slid his hands under Harry\'s shirt. Draco broke the kiss and leaned in close to Harry\'s ear.

\"Are you ready for your Christmas present?\" He whispered. Draco\'s breath on Harry\'s ear caused him to shiver.

\"Yes,\" he gasped. Draco smirked and drew Harry to his feet. Harry took his cue and led the way to the dorms.

Once there they collasped kissing onto Harry\'s bed. Within minutes their clothes were gone.

\"You\'re so beautiful,\" Murmered Draco, kissing Harry\'s stomach. Harry moaned in response. He ran his hands into Draco\'s hair. Draco gave Harry a passionate kiss and prepared Harry. In one fluid movement, Draco entered Harry. Harry bucked under him.

\"Fuck, Draco,\" Harry gasped.

Outside the 7th year dorm, Seamus stopped to listen. Who was Harry shagging so happily? Seamus pressed his ear to the door.

\"Fuck, Draco.\"

Seamus\' mouth dropped open in shock. Harry and Malfoy? No possible way. Seamus turned around and left out the portrait whole.

*

Draco collapsed on Harry, trying to stabilize his breathing.

\"That was amazing,\" Harry sighed. He pulled the covers over them and they snuggled together. Draco gave Harry a soft kiss and nuzzled his neck.

\"You\'re cute,\" breathed Draco.

The next morning at breakfast, all the 7th years sat together again, as had become the custom. Blaise and Michael were too wrapped up in themselves to notice the covert glances Seamus was giving Harry. Harry was giving Seamus confused looks everytime he did this.

Blaise and Michael excused themselves from the table early and left the Hall. Draco also left momentarily to talk to Snape. Once everyone was gone, Seamus leaned towards Harry, conspiriatorally.

\"What?\" Harry asked him, nonplussed. Seamus stared for a moment then his face twisted into a smirk. Harry looked more unnerved by this.

\"I know something.\" Seamus said.

\"Quit the secretive act, what do you know?\" Harry asked, wondering what on earth Seamus was doing, or could know.

\"I know what you were doing last night, Harry, you sly dog.\" Harry looked at him wonderingly for a second before it came back to him. His eyes widened in shock.

\"Shit!\" He cursed under his breath. Seamus gave him an understanding smile and patterd his hand.

\"I don\'t blame you, Harry, he is one hot Slytherin.\" Harry didn\'t look anymore comforted. Draco appeared at that moment and slid back into his seat beside Harry, completely unaware that anything odd was happening. Harry turned to gape at him.

\"What, Potter? Didn\'t take your meds this morning?\" Seamus smiled wider.

\"How do you know?\" Harry whispered hoarsley. Draco looked from one boy to the other, confused.

Seamus smirked again and leaned in closer.

\"Let\'s just say you might want to work on your silencing charms in the future, unless you\'d like Ron to die of shock.\" Understanding dawned on Draco\'s face and quickly turned to fury.

\"You didn\'t set the charm!?\" He growled. Harry turned to him annoyed.

\"You could have done it too!\"

\"Well, I was a little busy, in case you didn\'t notice.\"

\"Well, in case YOU didn\'t notice, I wasn\'t exactly focusing properly.\" Draco smirked, remembering the night before. Then he realized Seamus was still there, grinning at the pair of them argueing.

\"You don\'t tell anyone, Finnigan, or it\'s your balls.\"

\"Wouldn\'t dream of it, Malfoy. But tell me, how long has this been going on? I knew you two were friendly, but not THIS friendly.\" Seamus grinned wildly at them.

\"Since October,\" Harry mumbled. Draco slid his arm around Harry\'s waist. Harry looked at him. \"Maybe it\'s time we told people.\" Draco shrugged. \"You\'re okay with that?\" Harry asked. Draco gave him a withering look.

\"How many times do I have to remind you that it was your idea to keep it a secret, Potter?\" Harry shifted guiltily.

\"I know...I\'m just getting tired of it.\" Draco sighed and pushed away a lock of Harry\'s hair. He slid his hand around Harry\'s neck and pulled him in for a soft, sweet kiss. Seamus looked on \'Aaaww\' he thought. When they broke apart, Harry turned to Seamus.

\"Seamus, I\'m dating Draco Malfoy.\" Seamus started laughing and couldn\'t stop himself. Harry rolled his eyes and dragged Draco from the Hall.
