He didn't have time

Chapter 9 “Have we met before?”

Shaking off all the lingering thoughts of Potter Draco got out of the car. No matter what he did Potter was always on his mind. As the Blond Slytherin tried to clear his mind he didn’t notice that Blaise was scanning the crowd for someone.

‘Damn Muggles’ Blaise thought as he continued scanning the crowd.

When he and Weasley had set up this up they had no idea that the muggles assigned seats to ticket holders. In Quidditch you got to choose your seating. First ones there got the better seat and you were allowed to go where you liked expected for box seating usually reserved for Ministry officials.

‘Now how are we going to get them together if they can’t sit near one another?’

“Blaise I’ll be back I got to use the loo.”

“Sure I’ll wait here and try and locate our seats.” Once Draco was out of sight The Slytherin pulled out his Magic powered cell-phone and was frantically dialing Weasley.
“Weasley we have a problem!”

“Don’t I know it our tickets are on the other side of the stadium! Neville came up with a back up plan. I’m letting the air out of Harry’s tire he’ll have to change it without magic because of all the muggles around here. It’ll be your job to get Malfoy to Harry and leave him there. The rest will be up to them.”

“That’s a very Slytherin Plan. I didn’t think Longbottom had it in him. If you’re at the car then where is Harry?”

“Nev is with him in the gift shop. Harry’s buying souvenirs for the kids.”

“Even when they aren’t here he stills spoils those kids rotten.” Blaise laughed.

“What can I say? The boys are his life.” Ron sighed a little.

“When you finally drag him away from the shop the game will be over.” the Slytherin snickered. Harry tended to go over board when he was buying for Sev and Siri.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha! I think you might be right. Anyways Harry’s car is in lot C.”

“That’s an easy find. Harry is the only one I know with a green jeep the shade of a ruin potion. Bullocks! Draco is coming. See you after the game.” Blaise quickly flipped the phone off as Draco drew near.

“Who were you talking to?”

“Just Weasley. He just wanted to make sure we were having a good time.” The Italian smiled. Rule 1 of lying hide the lie within the truth and you can fool anyone even a fellow Slytherin. “I told him that it hadn’t started yet so he said he’ll call back later.”

“It’s 11:30 the thing doesn’t start till noon. I don’t know who is denser him or Longbottom?” Draco sighed affectionately. He never thought that he would actually had Gryffindors for friends when he started Hogwarts all those years ago. Now he wouldn’t trade his best and loyal friends for anything in the world.

“Come on Dray let’s get to our seats.” The Blonde followed his best friend through the crowd unaware of that the Man of his dreams was so close or the plotting going on around him.

“That was a Brilliant game! It’s a shame the England lost but Germany was bloody ruthless.”

“We’re glad you had a great time Harry. See you need to get out more and have some fun.” Ron smiled as the walked towards the parking lot.

“I have fun.” The Hufflepuff bristled.

“Don’t get defensive Harry. Ron didn’t mean anything bad by it. He’s just saying you look more relaxed then you have been in a long time. We know Sev and Siri are your life but even they want you to get out on your out more. Merlin, Harry they had to push you out the door at Molly’s to make sure you would leave them and go out with us.” Neville exclaimed.

“Oh.” Harry had the decency to blush. “I hadn’t realized I had gotten so bad. It’s just after Oliver I didn’t want another relationship. I made my life about raising the boys and being a healer; that didn’t have time for anything else. But I like my life I’m happy.”

“Harry… We’re not telling you to go out and grab the first guy you see.” Ron sighed while thinking ‘I really want to kill Wood for doing this to you.’ “We are trying to say is that its okay to go out and have fun even if it’s just to see a show at the cinema.” The Gryffindor was getting really pissed off but not at the Hufflepuff but at the bastard who broke his heart. After Oliver left Harry became so insecure and afraid of others that he refused to leave the castle without his children to shield him from any guy who might want to date to him.

“I guess you’re right.”

“Look Harry, don’t worry about it just get out there and have fun. Thanks for the ride here but Ron and I go to a ministry dinner Party that Hermione and Luna put together. So were going to head over to a near by apparition point.” Neville smiled softly.

“Yeah mate the wives have roped us into boring Ministry function. It’s the Price we have to pay for having a bit of fun.” Ron groaned before flashing a mischievous smile. “Good thing I have the twins skive snack box.”

“Ron! Mione will kill you if you do that! Anyways we’ll see you soon Harry.”

“Yeah I’ll floo you later.” Ron shouted as Neville pulled him toward the exit.

“Alright you guys I’ll see you for brunch tomorrow at the Burrow!” smiled Harry before heading to his jeep. He didn’t notice that the two Gryffindors had ducked be hind a SUV and were watching his every move. Once he was out of their sight Ron whipped out his phone and text Blaise that Harry was in place.

“Well that was entertaining. Don’t you think Dray?” Blaise was grinning as he if he found a bag of galleons on the ground. They were making their way to the Parking lot when he got the text now all he had to do was maneuver his best friend in the right direction.

“Surprisingly yes it was. I guess muggle sports aren’t so bad.” Draco replied unaware that he was being led away from Blaise’s car. “I wouldn’t mind attending another game.”

“I’ll have to tell Weasley hell has frozen over and that you have gone muggle! He’ll flip!”

“Shut up Blaise. You will do no such thing unless you want your precious car to have a nice big scratch across the hood.”

“NO! Not my baby!” Panicked the Slytherin whiled Draco looked around the lot.

“Blaise where is your car?”

“What do you mean? It should be here. The parking ticket says parking lot D”

“You IDIOT! This is LOT C!”

“Dray calm down and wait here I’ll go get the car. Just don’t make a scene I’m sure the car is not far from here.”

“You had better hurry its hot and I think I’m getting sunburned.”

“Sure Dray whatever you say. Don’t wander off; I don’t want to have to call the muggle authorities because you’ve gotten lost.” The Italian mad a hasty retreat as he saw the blond gave him a glare that said ‘If you don’t move your arse you are getting your Bullocks hexed off.’

Draco continued to glare at the back of the running wizard. He wondered and not for the first time how he was best friends with the absentminded Don Juan of a wizard. He was thrown out of his musings when he magic was shock by another magic signature.

“OW!” It seem that the magic was leaking form this distress person. The Slytherin walked closer to the hideously green jeep to the source of magic and voice. “Stupid tire! Ouch!” Draco looked down to see a man with messy Black hair continue to swear as he tried in vain to remove the lug nuts from the tire. It seemed the more frustrated the wizard got the more magic pour out of him. The Wizard was powerful that was for sure, but if he continued to leak magic it was going to set off the all car alarms in a five kilometer radius. There was also something familiar about this magic and this wizard but he didn’t know what it was all he knew was he had to calm the bloke down.

“Excuse me, but you might want to calm down before you Magic sets off all the car alarms. Then we can avoid calling the oblivators.” The Wizard seemed to still at his words before slowly raising his head to look up. Draco’s grey eyes met with eyes so green that they looked like flawless emeralds. ‘I thought only Severus and Sirius had eyes like that.’

Harry was frozen in panic. ‘What is Draco doing here at a muggle game? Why the Hell hadn’t sense him earlier?’ as these thoughts were racing through the healers mind he didn’t notice that the Slytherin had been talking to him.

“Hey are you alright? You look a bit pale.”

“I’m fine.” Harry managed to whisper as a blush bloomed on his face. “My tire is flat. I’m having trouble changing it. I’m just getting frustrated; I think the bolts are rusted on.”

“Yes I could feel the magic rolling ff you in waves. You seem to forget you’re a wizard. You can use magic to fix the tire, you know.” Draco smiled.

“I can’t there are too many muggles.” Harry blushed even brighter. The Slytherin’s smile was to die for.

“Sure you can here let me help you.” Draco knelt down by the blushing raven and took his wand from his jacket pocket pointed low at the tire giving it a quick scan. “Well there are no holes; it just seems to be out of air. I’ll just fill it up again.” Tapping his wand on the air valve the tire began to fill with air. “There all fix and no muggles saw any magic.”

“Uh… Thank you.” The Hufflepuff stammered as Draco helped him stand. “It would have taken me hours to change the tire and then drive home again.” Harry smiled he wondered if the blush was now forever stain on his cheeks. He couldn’t believe that Draco Malfoy was here with him. ‘Was he supposed to be in china?’ just then Draco’s phone rang.

“Hello?” The Slytherin’s smile vanished. “Blaise you Fucking Wanker! You’re ditching me for a muggle! I don’t care what she looks like! How am I supposed to get home? No I don’t know where the apparation point is. Bastard you better not hang up on me!” Suddenly there was just a dial tone. “That Arsehole hung up on me.”

“I can give you a ride, if you need one.” Harry whispered as he had his eyes glued to the ground. Draco’s anger melted away and he smiled softly. He had been so mad at Blaise he totally forgot the handsome guy he had just helped was still there maybe this was a blessing in disguise as a disaster. ‘Maybe I won’t kill Blaise when I see him.’

“Thank you. I would love a ride. It seems my best friend has found a better date in a short skirt.”

‘That sounds like Blaise but what was he doing here with Draco? He couldn’t have known I was he with Ron and Neville could he?’ Harry wondered as he unlocked the door for Draco to get in.

“So you have kids? You seem really young to be a father.”

“How did you know?” Harry had to swallow the panic in his voice.

“I noticed the car seats in the back seats.”

“Oh. Yes I have two boys, twins actually.” Draco notice how the Man’s expression softened when he mentioned his sons. He thought the Green eyed man looked beautiful. Unfortunately the moment was broken by the growling of their stomachs causing both wizards to blush in embarrassment.

“It seems neither of us ate during the game. Why don’t we get a bite to eat? It will be my treat as a thank you for the ride.”

“Alright.” Harry wanted to say no but the mercury eyes and killer smile he couldn’t. He would agree to anything if Draco would smile for him.

Half an hour later found the two wizards at a muggle roadside pub. It was small yet had a homey feel to it and it distracted Harry from the thought that he was practically on a date with his life long crush.

“I’m sorry I hadn’t properly introduced myself. I’m Draco Malfoy.”

“The Slytherin Prince.” The dark haired man looked up from is menu and smiled. “If I had known I would be dinning with royalty than I would have dress better then My Saturday jeans.”

“How did you know that? I haven’t been called that since Hogwarts.”

“I attended Hogwarts the same year as you but we’ve never met personally before. Hearing you name brought back all the old gossip I use to hear about you.” Harry chewed on his lower lip when he was nervous and right now he was so nervous he wouldn’t be surprised if he chewed his lip off completely.

“Are you sure we haven’t met before? You seem familiar and I don’t really know why.” Draco said softly as he stared curiously at the nervous wizard.

“I’m sure we’ve never met, you were in Slytherin and I was in Hufflepuff. Even then I also didn’t get out much outside of class. I guess I was what you might call a wallflower.”

“Hufflepuff? You don’t look like a Puff to me. A Ravenclaw I can see maybe Gryffindor but I don’t see you as a Hufflepuff.”

“Neither did my godfathers. They thought I was going to be a Gryffindor or Slytherin.”

“Slytherin? Now that’s interesting.” Draco leered. He was fascinated by the Hufflepuff sitting across from him.

“There’s nothing interesting about me. What about you? You’re quite the world traveler I hear.”

“How did you know I have been traveling?” Now Draco was suspicious. Who was this man and why did he know so much about him?

“I work at Hogwarts now.” Harry’s voice trembled as he knew he couldn’t hide who he was any more. He also didn’t want to make the Malfoy heir angry as he had a terrible temper. “I should have realized who you were sooner. You look a lot like your father, Professor Malfoy. He is always talking about you or where you’ve been or what you’ve doing so far away. He’s extremely proud of you.”

“Really? Well I’m very proud of him too. I know he’s always loved Charms. So, what do you teach? I don’t remember writing about any new teachers at Hogwarts.” Draco was now have amused by the nervous Hufflepuff and he was half angry at his father for gossiping about him to handsome young wizards. ‘Merlin Father’s gossiping worst then a Housewife with a Witch Weekly in her hand and the floo line going.’

“I’m not really a teacher, I’m a healer. I do teach basic some healing and medi-wizarding first-aid to a few who want to be healers.”

“Healer?” Now it was the Slytherins turn to get nervous and turn pale.

“Yes. My Name is Harry Potter.”
