Disclaimer:
I do not own Harry Potter, nor any of the characters from the books or movies. I do not make any money from the writing of this story.
Chapter 8
Disclaimer: I am NOT J.K. Rowling, and therefore do NOT own Draco (Gorgeous) Malfoy, or Harry (Equally as Gorgeous) Potter. I DO, however, own this plot. Please do not sue, because all I can give you is a stick of sugarfree gum (which i want...MINE!). Enjoy!
Warning: This is Slash (meaning M/M relationships, for you newbies.) And the slash pairing WILL be Draco/Harry. Yes, this story does contain Het, (M/F relationships) such as Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, and a little Draco/Pansy, Harry/Pansy. Don't like? Don't read. Send me a flamer, if you want, but I warned you fair and square about the Slash. If you are one of those ppl that send me a flamer, i will put it on the site so everyone can see how lame you are that you didn't read the Warning.
Beta: I would like to thank my Beta, Draco's Desire (who has a story she would like you to read), for making sure all of my sentences flow, and that there will be no grammar mistakes...but if there is, let me know and I will be sure to slap her. Thx!
No questions from Reviewers! DEPRESSING!!!
I would like to Bitch-Slap all readers that haven't reviewed my story. Thank You.
This is probably the last chapter for a while...maybe an update once a week, now. Please leave your email with me if you wanted to be added to my update list.

Chapter 8: More Shopping (::rolls eyes::)
“Oh, Harry!” Ginny sighed in exasperation, dragging Harry out of the Quidditch shop. “You aren’t going to buy anything anyway, and I’m hungry.” Ginny pouted.
Harry snapped back into reality. “Oh, umm…we could have something to eat at The Leaky Cauldron.” Harry suggested as his stomach rumbled.
Ginny sighed in relief. “Are you out of your Quidditch stupor yet?” she asked in mock exasperation. Harry laughed and nodded. Ginny rolled her eyes. “Only because you’re hungry.” she mumbled as they started their walk to The Leaky Cauldron.
Draco looked at the two teens, lost in the dream of being Harry’s boyfriend. He envied what Ginny and Harry had; Pansy never did any of that small stuff with Draco. It was all sex with her. Which wasn’t bad, for Draco, but sometimes he missed the small things that could happen with a nice relationship.
“…what about you, Draco?” Harry asked as Draco snapped back to reality.
Draco stared blankly. “Huh?” he asked dumbly.
Harry looked worriedly at him, a sight Draco never thought he’d see. Harry truly looked concerned. “I was wondering what you were going to order for Brunch, but maybe we should head back to Hogwarts. You’re acting odd.” Harry said, concern and worry lacing his voice.
Draco smiled softly. “No, it’s alright. I’ve just been thinking a lot today is all.” he assured. “And I’ve never eaten at The Leaky Cauldron, so I don’t know what to eat.” he replied to the question.
Harry rolled his eyes. “Oh, not good enough for the Malfoys?” he asked mockingly, but Draco was back in dream land, and only shrugged.
Before Draco knew it, they were sitting at the bar in The Leaky Cauldron. The bar tender, Tom, was drying out a glass and Harry and Ginny were scanning the menus. Draco grabbed the menu in front of him and began to read. They had a lot of really good choices.
Tom came over to where they were seated. “Ah, Mr. Potter. Good to see you again, son. Ms. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy, too. Staying for lunch?” he asked.
Harry looked up from his menu and smiled “Yeah. We’re in Diagon Alley to buy our outfits for the Welcoming Ball, and thought it nice to have a meal away from Hogwarts.” Harry replied.
Tom smiled fondly at them. “Alright, so what do you three want to drink?” he asked, taking out his note pad and a Quick Quotes Quill.
Draco and Ginny replied “Pumpkin Juice.”, while Harry just raised his eyebrows at Tom.
Tom rolled his eyes and leant down to talk with Harry privately. “Do you think you should be drinking, Harry? You’re at school now.”
Harry rolled his eyes this time. “School hasn’t started, Tom.” he whispered back. Tom smiled and shrugged, then went to get their drinks.
About two minutes later, he brought back two clear glasses of an orange liquid, the Pumpkin Juice, and a black goblet. He put the black goblet in front of Harry and the clear ones in position of Draco and Ginny.
“Alright, what’s for lunch?” Tom asked as he looked at the three.
“I’ll have the Chefs Salad.” Ginny replied, shutting the menu and handing it to Tom.
“The usual for me, Tom.” Harry replied, also handing the bar tender the menu. Tom smiled and looked at Draco.
Draco had his brows furrowed in thought. “I’ll try the Perch Sandwich.” he answered, closing the menu.
Tom nodded. “It’ll be out shortly, guys.” he said, left to go back to the kitchens.
Draco finally took notice of Harry’s glass as Harry took a gulp of his drink. “What are you drinking, Harry?”
Harry smirked and put the goblet under Draco’s nose. Draco’s eyes widened in shock when he smelled the liquid. “Fire Whiskey?!?” he asked, having enough sense to whisper. Harry shrugged. “Give me a drink!” Draco demanded.
Harry handed him the cup and Draco took a greedy gulp. Harry looked cautiously over at Ginny, who was luckily watching the muggle television they had installed. The television program was ‘The Price is Right’.
“I have absolutely no idea what they are doing.” Ginny admitted, watching as some lady spun ‘The Big Wheel’. Harry just rolled his eyes and turned back to Draco, who was still drinking from Harry’s cup.
“Jeez, Draco. Leave me some!” he whispered pleadingly. Draco smirked and gave Harry the empty goblet back. “Well, thanks.” he muttered.
Tom then came back with their food. “Here we go; Chefs Salad for Ms. Weasley, Perch Sandwich for Mr. Malfoy, and Chicken Fingers for Mr. Potter. Need a refill, Harry?” he asked, noting the goblet empty.
Harry smiled and pointed his eyes at Draco. Tom frowned. “Yes, thanks.” Harry muttered as he began to dip his chicken strip in barbeque sauce. They ate quickly, but subtly; Harry sometimes feeding Ginny some of his food, then kissing her for the taste of it mixed with her.
When they did this, Draco could have screamed bloody murder and ‘Avada Kedavera’d’ someone. He hated being jealous; partly because he was used to getting whatever he wanted, so he never had to feel jealousy. Now that he was, he was so grateful towards his father for not making him feel like that a lot.
Harry turned to Draco. “How’s your sandwich?” he asked, then ate a french-fry. Draco, having a mouthful, only smiled and nodded approvingly. Harry beamed. “Guess it’s good enough for the Malfoy’s, huh?” Draco looked at him, then playfully slapped his arm. Harry chuckled.
***************************
“No, Harry. You come with me! I want to help you pick out your outfit.” Ginny answered for the millionth time, after Harry asked if he could go somewhere with Draco while she went ‘girly shopping’. “Draco is a big boy, Harry. He can go out alone for an hour or so.” she said, then smiled suggestively at Draco.
Draco smiled, then flushed. “Alright, fine.” Harry pouted. “You‘re lucky, Draco. I’m so unloved, I have to go girly shopping.” he decided, then crossed his arms and turned around in mock depression. Ginny only smiled and kissed him sweetly on the lips before dragging him into Madam Malkins.
Draco waited until they were out of view before heading in the general direction of Knockturn Alley.
‘What would Harry want, anyway?’ he thought to himself for what seemed to be the millionth time that day. ‘Grr, I don’t know! I don’t even know him! Ok, Draco…lets think. He’s not used to having nice things. Well, I should get him something nice then, right? Okay…hmmm.’
Draco only vaguely realized he was right outside Knockturn Alley.
