" I've got one " harry raised his forefinger to grab the attention of the fellow mates on the table

" so a few years ago, I had just started my auror training, probably like 2 months in, I got a call from my boss saying harry I need you in my office right now, I've got a job for you. And that 18 year old me so excited to get a job much before than any of my pals, I ran to the office as soon as possible and when I reached my boss guess what he said, harry I need you to go and fetch me these specific files from so and so person. I was shook for a moment that he called me all the way just to fetch some files from other country which possibly anyone could've done for him but I agreed to go nonetheless. The intercountry apparation was banned for a time there so I flew there. I was transported to a small town on South italy, I thought typical place, typical people but when I reached there, the place was goddamn symmetrical, yes not tall and High or pretty place, symmetrical. Everything so conical and guess what I found out, in a population of 11,000 only a 100 wizards and witches " harry paused to take a sip from his champagne glass, a couple of other people joining along over the table to listen to his intriguing story.

" and then blah blah, got boring fetching those files and such so I hit a bar. A muggle bar as I believe. There I was drinking my beer like quite a gentlemen and then there comes a girl, sat down beside me without asking and take my beer and I look at her like excuse me, miss but I think you've taken my drink, but she just shrugs and drink further so I ordered another for me. And then she goes, you see that couple over sitting by the door, I can bet that they are happily married and will definitely divorce the next year. I ask her how do you know and she goes I just know and then the next thing I know a bartender goes to them and says honeymoon special. I was shook but said it's just a simple coincidence but then she tells about 5 more people and only one of them she got wrong. I kept on saying maybe it's a coincidence, or Maybe she knew but then she proved me she didn't. And then we got to talking like I had never talked to anyone. You know the kind of energy where you just hit it off with someone, she was that person, Only she was the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes upon, like a Sin city just walking like every normal person but she had no idea how beautiful she was, like a beautiful summer day " and harry stopped eager to see some reaction

" then what ?"

" then we talked. I thought she was all just Beauty but I had never met anyone like her. She talked of things only one could've thought of. So we were talking on the matter of love and she goes it's all complicated and then I ask her to elaborate. So she does, she says the complication in love lies only in its complexity, and then she goes like we often mistake love to be like a summer breeze that is there one day that takes you away and you enjoy it while it lasts but love, actually is like a dagger, it can pierce right through you, leave you bleeding if you get too close but if the dagger points them, you let yourself them fall over it, you stab them just like you do when it points you. So I ask her what does she think of soulmates or the marriage that lasts forever and she smiles at me and went soulmate is a consolation for a weak hearted that there exists love for you which would be devoid of your insecurities. And I frown, I said that what if it's a perfect relationship, and then she says, there can never be a perfect relationship because if it exists, then the love isn't real and I get confused " harry notices the table filling in more, the bartender giving him a small smile, happy for his victory.

" and she says, my love, love is not a summer breeze, love is like a pandora box fill with paradoxical substances. It's a cold breeze that leads you to the Amazon forest, wide and unforeseen opportunities and problems available, but as you go deeper in the forest you realise for every problem there exist a solution. It's like falling on the dagger and bleeding but you should be intoxicated with the love of the dagger, so you will never die. I was amazed, she said so much reality in those few words. Then I ask her so what about people who say love is magical ? And she goes, doesn't magic exist, but if I were I to say, they find themselves ethereal when they fell over that dagger, the dagger in there you see is poisoned just like every other, yet a few realises and few doesn't and the one who doesn't says love is magical. Then out of curiosity I ask her when the clock hit exactly 12, do you believe in love ? She smiles at me very elegantly, the one she hadn't pull off the entire night, and she says I my friend, am the said dagger "

" seems as if we're there aren't we ?" Someone Whispered across the table.

Harry looked at them, gave them a small smile impressively and begin again " I ask her one last question, do you believe in soulmate ? And she shook her head and got off the stool and kisses her beau. I was rendered speechless, and then she says so long my friend and starts exiting the bar, I felt to myself that if I didn't follow her, I'd be damned, so I followed, Just a few steps away and then call out to her, she turns around and I ask her name and she replies with, my name is what there is in one, but only who fail to love doesn't have and then she says, this is Alex by the way, my soulmate. I turn to my side thinking of what possibly her name could've been and then when I raise my head, she has gone. Not like walked away gone, she had disappeared, with her beau and I stood there yet amazed. And then the next day I go to the bar again and ask about the girl to that bartender I was talking to and he goes, sir I do not know who was with you, all know is you came alone and went home alone. I didn't linger on much, and I called this the cruise to alberobello " and harry stops suddenly finishing off the rest of his champagne. He raises his eyes to meet the boy behind the bar, smiling wickedly at him.

" wha- what happened then ? Did you ever get to know her name ? Was any of it even real?" Someone asks in morbid curiosity.

"I always assumed her name to be Alma, meaning soul, with no other meaning and to this day the cruise to alberobello remains one of my most mysterious epiphanies " Harry chuckled. Groaning everyone dropped the story, intrigued by the story themselves.

It was half past 12 when the bar started emptying out, reaching its closing time and harry made himself comfortable over the bar stool.

" quite a story tonight " the boy with freckled eyes says wiping off the glasses with a dry cloth.

" I did. Travellers always seeks stories as such. Something they've never heard before, and leave them wondering " Harry chuckled finishing off his drink and pushing off the cup towards the boy..

" i must admit, I myself am very intrigued by the story" the boy smiles at harry. Harry looks at him warily smiling, he felt proud.

" I get off in 10 minutes, walk with me ?" He asked as he started taking of his apron

" I wouldn't do anything otherwise " Harry replied and exited the front door, the open sign changing to closed by a wand less magic and harry follows to the back door, waiting for Draco like he always does.

Exactly 10 minutes later, draco exits wearing a light Denim jacket over his black shirt and pants.

" shall we ?" He asked as he pushed his hands down his pocket.

They walk home talking about Harry's story, how it seemed almost unreal, however, they both Would've been doomed fools to not admit that the night had an enigmatic aura to it.

Just as they reached Draco's door, he pushes his hands in his pockets tip toeing waiting for Draco to safely reach inside.

" well that's me then " Draco said as he turned around after opening the door.

" I'll see you later then " Harry awkwardly replied.

" okay " Draco smiled

" okay "

" okay "

Harry smiled and started tumbling back his home until he turned just in time to tell Draco one last thing.

" hey, Draco "

" yeah ?"

" you know my cruise to alberobello ?"

" yeah ? What about it ? "

Harry smiled biting his lip

" you are my cruise to alberobello "

And with that Harry vanished in thin air, letting the curiosity killing Draco's cat. Everything Harry had said, Draco used to put it down on little notes and keep it away in a box , a small gesture Remind Draco of Harry if he were to ever be gone but this left him shook. The truth about his cruise to alberobello, was that if the epiphany was even real or not, Harry didn't answer that. The mystery of the story lied within the fact how anyone could've ever remembered something from ages ago, it seemed unreal but harry was a man of many words, anything but a man who would forget. And this Draco knew because of his simple rememberance of bringing him a dairy free product when draco had told him very discreetly that he was lactose intolerant.

Draco tired to sleep it away but the restlessness buried in every nerve of him that forced him to stay awake until he couldn't bear anymore and disapparted to Harry's place.

" Draco, what are you doing here ? It's almost 2 " Harry frowned as he allowed Draco to walk into his own little Land of wonder he called home.

" you asked me on the way back if I believed your story to be real ? Here's what I think, the cruise to alberobello is infact an envisage of an interaction you assumed you had with the girl named Alma who sat next to you on the bar stool with her beau Alex, who you irrevocably found to be like dagger who would pierce you open if you fell for her but you couldn't bring yourself to even try to talk to her, so you imagined all of it. But when you met me, that girl named Alma became me, and I became your cruise you'd want to go on with but are too Afraid of admitting. Correct me if I'm wrong " Draco explained in a breath still standing in the hallway.

Harry frowns before he crossed his arms and smiled " I'm impressed "

" tell me if I'm wrong ?"

" what if you are ?"

" then you would lie because you only said what you said because you knew I'd be the only one who would understand the story "

Harry remained in shock, frowning" I'm thoroughly shook how beautifully right you are "

Draco huffs out air in relief " well harry James potter, then I am asking you to be my cruise to alberobello ? Will you be ?"

" Tomorrow night, 8 pm, Alberta palace ?"

" I'll be there " Draco replied.

" good night then Draco " Harry chuckled.

" Good night" Draco replied and was only About to disapparate when Harry interjected

" one last thing" and with that Harry kissed Draco's lip. There must've been something weird in the air because they both broke out laughing while kissing each other.

" took you this long ?" Draco smiled, his lips still pressed against Harry's and his arms wrapped around his torso.

" I was waiting for you to be impressed with at least one of my stories. I'm not just Beauty you know " Harry mumbled

" well you finally succeeded " and with that Harry softly traced Draco's lips with his own. It must've been so ethereal to be in the moment that draco couldn't stop smiling, and harry was drunk on Draco, and in Prosperity couldn't stop tasting Draco's smile, it could've been kissing but it felt otherwise, Harry was happy anyway.

And next night onwards,he didn't need more stories to attract the boy behind the bar.

This might be considered as a very late submission for @drarrymicrofic " cruise "

Day 32- reasons to not love Draco malfoy by Harry potter PT.1+PT.2 | Day 34- bath with me

Pretend

for @drarrymicrofic | angst

If it were the old wives tales or the scientific world, people had always known to heal the wounds that bled you through your skin. When you get a cut, you put a Bandage on and the bleeding would stop, but not once had anyone told, how to make your heart stop bleeding when love crushes your soul.

" all this time-?" Harry didn't know how to complete his sentence. The tears that he thought were threating to spill had already became a tiny waterfall over his cheeks.

" I thought- I didn't mean to harry, I never wanted you to fall in love with me " Draco gave him a sympathetic

" then why did you make me?" Harry slammed his fists over the table, his hands becoming moist with his own saddened tears.

Draco looked down, he couldn't answer even if he wanted to, he too knew he played Harry, like all the rest.

Harry waited like a patient man for his response until his heart bled a little to much, numbing his sobs he asked one last time.

" was any of it ever real ?"

Draco looked at him, as if asking him to not make him do this but long gone was the love in Harry's eyes for the man who played him

" I- I'm sorry harry-"

" was any of it ever real or not ?"

" i- no "

" so you pretended ?"

" I pretended "

And Harry walked off the table, his heart dying loudly in his chest, screaming , but some wounds are never supposed to Heal and they always leave a scar ; harry was sure that his heart was tainted with the scar from the boy he fell in love when he was 18.

Bath with me

Prompt- Washing the others body | fluff | implied smut | Draco had a terrible day and harry makes up for it |

" oh Honey, good you're home. We are kind of short on groceries so we need to shop- why do you like you can kill me right now ?" Harry raised his head to look at Draco entering carrying his side bag and look exhausted.

" I - can - kill - Someone right now" Draco frustratingly grabbed onto the air, growling

" okay- well I have a knife, I don't think it will work but I'm sure we can work with that. You kill, I will dispose the body- not Funny. Alright. I'm almost done, sit down, and we'll talk alright "

Groaning Draco sat down in the kitchen stool, slamming his head softly over the table. Glimpsing at draco, Harry sighed pouring the pasta immediately into the pan and covering the lid.

" I'm done " Harry announced taking off his apron and keeping it over the counter

" when were you going to tell me that I have been temporarily suspended from apparating ?" Draco looked up at harry, his chin against the table.

" what- I thought you knew. The letter came in like a day ago, it was right over your coffee table. It said it's just a temporary thing with random people because of certain case they're working on " Harry explained

" well- as my husband- you are supposed to inform me such thing " Draco rolled his eyes

" well I thought you must've read it- you know what nevermind, just tell me what's got your knickers in twist?" Harry sat down in front of him and passed him a bottle of water. Draco huffed out air, raising his head and finally started with his rant.

" so it's a normal day, I get free from work, I decided to apparate and Just as I apparate, I'm pulled into the ministry and they start explaining me everything and obviously because you didn't tell me about the disapparation temporal ban, I fought with them until they showed me the damn letter and I ultimately lost the argument and you know how much I hate losing but then I thought let's be like my gentlemen husband so I walk off the ministry, then I finally thought let's take a damn car from the ministry but then I get to know that my damn gentlemen of a husband has denied using his ministry car privileges to donate the money to the orphan- when the hell were you going to tell me ?"

" well I thought- I think I told you-"

" doesn't matter. So I thought let's travel the damn muggle way, so I take the bus-"

" oh jeez-"

" yes jeez, well I've never travelled like that before, I didn't assume it to be that bad but boy oh boy, I had to sit beside a fucking stinky man who I am assuming was smoking drugs right beside. And it's not even the worst part, I can't get out of the seat because a huge man blocks my entrance and that man didn't feel a damn thing even when I punched him to move away. So I was stuck and you wanna know the worst part, one fucking hour, I was stuck for one fucking hour until I get off the damn station five miles away from here and it's not even that, I'm walking home thinking about how it's probably the shittiest day I've had until a car with some fucking teenagers threw some damn fucking milkshake all over me- this was the worst possible fucking day ever " Draco almost sobbed in frustration.

" oh dear " harry immediately gets up and hugs Draco, kissing the top of his head " I had no idea. Why didn't you just flooed ?"

" I- that didn't fucking came in my mind- Harry " Draco whined

" shush- it's alright.. you forgot honey, you were already dealing with a hard day. Merlin,you know what, let's not sulk. I'll go and draw a bath for you, how does that sound ? " Harry asks raising Draco's face by his chin.

Draco almost weeps but nods not leaving Harry yet.

" honey- you gotta let go of me if you want me to draw that bath. I also need to stir the pasta " Harry interjected after several minutes of Draco not leaving him. He groaned and finally let go off harry.

" just go get ready for a Bath alright " Harry said as he immediately turned off the stove. Nodding Draco walks into the bedroom and harry practically ran to the bathroom to prepare his bath.

When almost done with drawing a bath, Harry walks out, and waiting outside the door for Draco to come who did, finally after undressing with just a bathrobe on.

Draco had just entered the bathroom when he calls out to harry

" aren't you going to join ?"

" no- you know I just had one "

" fine- I come home from a stressful day hoping my husband would have a nice bath-"

" Merlin, get in, I'm joining " and with a grin Draco went inside. Harry shook his head smiling to himself about his melodramatic husband, but then he knew he loved him even after everything..

And so harry finally did join Draco into the bathtub, with Draco's back pressed against his chest, enjoying the warm bath. Harry took the shampoo in his hand, and softly rubbing Draco's scalp, who moaned in pleasure.

" love, I really am sorry for how terrible your day was " Harry kissed his neck from behind, his hands roaming Draco's, Washing him.

" it's not your fault " Draco responded turning slightly to only face Harry.

" but I should've told you about the letter and the ministry car thing-"

" it's alright Harry, I didn't check my coffee table, my fault and I know exactly why you don't use the ministry affiliated car- I'm your husband Harry, of course I understand everything you do, even if you don't tell me any of it "

Harry looked at Draco with a new found appreciation for his adorable husband who was probably the most understanding man to walk upon earth.

" how did I land up with you ?" Harry smiled, wrapping his hands loosely around Draco's, pressing soft kisses all over his neck.

" the real question is how did I land up with such an amazing husband ?" Draco gave Harry a genuine smile turning around so he straddled him " I feel like I don't appreciate you enough. I mean in front of you I look like a complete prat..all I do is create drama while you look after the house, take care of the bills and most importantly, take care of me everyday"

" Draco- you take care of me and you do things- like every Sunday you bring me a new breakfast in bed, you do my clothes shopping and always get the right size, you praise me every night and never force me to do anything. And I know you are disappointed with my job, you never tell me on it, I know you want me to take a safer job, I know you do but you let me make my own decisions. And you've taken care of me so much when I had terrible days. You're too good for me Draco, but I think we both think we are too good for each other and that's what makes us so perfect for each other " Harry smiled lightly brushing Draco's cheek with his thumb

" how do you know exactly what to say at the right moment " Draco smiled at harry before leaning down to kiss him over the lips..

" you taste like wine " Draco teased

" well I did try which wine should we have for dinner, since you know you had shit day " Harry mumbled against Draco's lip, his eyes stills closed.

" god- you are just perfect " Draco mumbled before deepening the kiss, his body pressed against that of Harry's, his hands lost in the brunettes hair.

" you are perfect Draco- fuck I love you" Harry breathed, his hands roaming over the back of Draco pulling him closer, Deepening the kiss.

And they made out until the water ran cold and harry picked Draco bridal style and walked them to the room, helping him get dressed and finally having dinner with the finest me in the entire Britain he could find to settle down with.

Day 33- cruise to alberobello | Day 35- every inch of you

35. Every inch of you

Prompt used- kissing their bruises and scars| implied smut | angst | dedicated to @irrelevantdrarry and @riana-drarry and @weirdvibeskid for bringing a smile upon my face.

" one night, Draco that's all I asked! Molly worked soo hard on the dinner, the entire Weasley family was nothing but nice to you even though they've practically hated you and you didn't even have a little courtesy to say thank you for the dinner. You know what Molly said it to me, I'm sorry harry if you both felt like we intruded into your little world because Draco didn't seem to enjoy it, what was all that about ? I thought you wanted to know the people who practically raised me " Harry snapped as soon as they entered the flat

" who said otherwise that I wasn't nice to them ?" Draco rolled his eyes storming into the bedroom

" oh I don't know, maybe the fact that you didn't laugh at even a single joke Arthur said, or the fact that you didn't appreciate Molly's cooking or the fact that you didn't even offer any of them even a single smile !" Harry exclaimed following him into the bedroom

" I was nice-"

" oh yeah, I'm sure not offering a smile is not being nice. They're my family Draco, the least you could do is say thank you-"

" and I did say thank you when you weren't around "

" you did? Then how come Molly asked me if you didn't enjoy the dinner or something ?" Harry threw his hands in the air aggressively

" I don't know, maybe one thank you wasn't enough-"

" what ? You're actually blaming-"

" I didn't mean it " Draco sighed collapsing over the bed

" you better not because you can insult me for once but not them. They're my everything, they mean much more to me than anything else. I'm not mad at you Draco, I'm just upset that you didn't made them feel welcome "

" well what do you want me to do? Hang a bloody welcome sign over my neck ?" This time Draco threw his hand in the air aggressively

" I- you know what- I can't have this conversation-"

" you're not walking out " Draco interjected locking the door with a spell

" oh so now I can't walk out because my beloved boyfriend doesn't want to tell me what was the actual reason he was being an arse ?" Harry crossed his arms in front of his torso, watching Draco tentatively.

" I was never an arse harry- "

" you were and don't even try to deny that. What happened to you when you reached there? You were so excited to meet everyone, nervous even but as soon as you step in and they welcome you, it seemed as if you didn't want to be there ?" Harry asked timidly.

" Because I didn't belong there harry, I never will. I was excited to meet everyone but the moment I step in I realised that those can never actually love me-"

" but they do!! " Harey exclaimed enclosing the distance between them

" no harry. Nobody does, I'm a death Eater remember. They might forgive me but they will never forget that I am and will Always be tainted by this unfortunate scar that defines my entire life " draco snapped standing up, facing harry.

Harry's face immediately etched into confusion " no they don't draco. I've grown up with them, I know they would never feel that way about you "

" what If they do? You don't know that harry"

" yes, yes I do and they do not think of you that way. If I can move on and love you, then so can everyone"

" but that's the problem harry, I don't deserve you. You love me and that is the biggest problem of them all, you're in love with death Eater, how can you possibly love me ?" Draco's voice broke

Harry stood there in silence, contemplating how the visit to his so called family have erupted a volcano of thoughts of how draco didn't deserve him. It has been 2 months since they got together and somewhere harry Always knew that draco felt that way about himself, that he was too good for him but it was far from truth. He didn't care if he was too good for himself or if he himself was too good for draco, he cared more about how draco understood him more on the nights when harry had no one, he cared more about completing his bucket list with the only person who had managed to bring up a smile upon his face when no one else could, he cared more about how draco loved him like he was the only person in the world and that was more than enough for harry.

Harry extinguished the distance between him and draco and slowly by looking in draco's eyes, uncuffed his sleeves.

" what- what are you doing harry ?" Draco nervously asked

" doing exactly what I should do " harry didn't put a single moment in vain in bringing draco's left arm to his lips and kissing his dark mark

" harry -" draco's eyes reflected the light glare coming from the window, a glint of surprise and sadness in them

" I love you nonetheless of who you were, who are you and who you're going to be. I've made my decision and I don't give a tiny rats ass about how you don't deserve me. I think I can make my decision of who deserve me or not and I've made my decision, to stay, forever " harry poured into the grey orb of draco's eyes, looking for any sign of argument he might bring upon and when he didn't, he pressed his lips against that of draco's..

" why do you love me so much ?" Draco breathed In between the kiss

" because if I could take one person to that cupboard under the stairs where I lived, I'd take you out of everyone to vanish all of those bad memories and create new ones " harry replied mumbling against his lips. Draco stopped for a moment, a tear dropping from his eyes onto his cheeks, his forehead pressed against harry's.

" I love you " was the only thing Draco could muster up to say.

" I know " and harry kissed Draco more firmly now. From the sweet kisses they had shared in the past, their kiss had taken a road which became more messy, more tongue and more lust. Without thinking twice, draco bought Harry's hand to the Button's of his shirt. Getting the hint harry unbuttons draco's shirt and let his gracefully fall behind.

" are you sure ?" Harry breathed

" I am. Are you ?"

" yes, I am " and Harry's hand roamed the bear soft chest of Draco's, tracing the lines of scars and bruises from the war but more beautifully as if he was touching a mural art over a canvas. Draco himself didn't waste time in unbuckling Harry's belt and letting it drop to the ground.

" this changes everything " harry mumbled again

" and I want It to " and with that harry didn't ask further and simply, more rapidly unbuckled draco's pants and pushing it down his legs. Realising they had been standing for Long, harry softly pushed draco onto the bed behind, letting him have a heavenly fall before him. And as beautiful as it was to see Draco sprawled on the bed with just his boxers, Draco didn't have that. He pulled harry the waist of his pants, letting him collapse over him.

" you've got absolutely no idea, how bloody perfect you are" harry mumbled as draco pushes Harry's pants down his legs.

" I love you " draco moans as harry harshly pressed his lips against draco's neck, kissing softly all over to find his sweet spot.

" I love you " harry hummed as he licked a stripe over his neck. In a sweet saviouring moment, he was desperate to hear the sound of draco moaning again so he started sucking softly over his neck to find that one sweet spot and just when Draco erupted a moan more loudly than before, harry attacked that spot more, only to hear him moaning over and over again. The moans leaving draco's soft lips were sending sparks all over his body, flaming a sudden urge in him to pin draco to bed and want to do absolute sinful things to his body until he's withering.

" fuck " draco moaned, his eyes rolling in the back of his head, shooting flames inside Harry's right to his bottom. Sucking more painfully erotically, draco put his hand into Harry's hair as an unknown reflex and grasped them to find an unknown leverage but it resulted in Harry violently moaning against draco's neck.

" fuck- harry- just- need you " draco moaned as he bought Harry's face to his lips for a sloppy, haste and Messy kiss. He swiftly but hastily unbuttoned Harry's shirt and threw it somewhere in the room, leaving them both in boxers and briefs.

" I love you " harry mumbled as he started pressing soft kisses down his neck until in a glimpse he noticed a mark on draco's chin.

" Where did you get it from ?" Harry asked as he supported himself by his elbow to watch draco from a distance.

" Accidental magic. I think i was 10, i accidentally picked up a shirt from the ground but somehow it tangled on my leg and i fell over the side of the bed " draco told, harry looked at the mark before he bowed down a little and kissed the scar.

" what was that for ?" Draco asked smiling

" To remind you I love you nonetheless your scars or bruises " and with that harry kissed draco's finger, knowing he had accidentally got a paper cut a few days ago, then placed a soft kiss over the top of his head from a bruise he got yesterday when he hit the door too hard..

" This is to remind me of how much I hate myself for doing this to you "

" I forgave you a long time ago " draco reassured

" I know" and harry softly kissed against draco's sectum semptra scars, his eyes moistening up at the memory.

" Hey, look at me. It happened a long time ago. It's fine " draco cupped Harry's face, making him look into his eyes. And Harry nodded.

Draco kissed softly over Harry's nose " this is for kicking you in the face in 6th year, I didn't like doing it but shit was it good "

Harry chuckled, leaning down to kiss his lips..

" I want to kiss you " draco mumbled

" You are "

" No I want to kiss every inch of you. I want to kiss every part of your body because it has been through so much. I want to kiss all of it away to put new memories " draco softly. Harry looked at him in awe, not believing he has actually said something like that. Struck in unknown saddening surprise Harry leaned into draco neck and let his feelings create little sobs.

" It's alright harry, it's alright " draco mumbled as he softly brushed Harry's hair.

" I want to kiss you too, every inch of you "

" Then lets do it " draco smiled and incadascently they briskly fell into the intimacy of taking away a part of one another tainted with painful memories, replacing them with love and creating hocruxes in every inch so a part of their souls lived forever in another.

" well that's not my problem harry, is it ? If you can't fucking do one thing on your own that's your damn fault " draco yelled from across the kitchen at harry who was standing in the middle of the living room looking agitated

" I do things on my own. It's that you are the one who keeps thing's in the house, not me and if you're not responsible enough for it just say it " harry yelled back.

Furiously draco stomped out of the kitchen " responsible? So this is your house when it's about the house lease and paper's and suddenly when it comes to keeping thing's, it's mine. When was the last time you were responsible enough to keep things in the right place on your own? If for once you could fold your own clothes or do your own laundry or maybe just not fucking throw things anywhere you want to, so I'd pick up then maybe, Maybe for once you wouldn't have to ask me where your shit is !! It's not just my own responsibilities " draco yelled at harry face talking off the apron off his waist

" you know what you are right, I'll do my damn shit on my own Because you're fucking irresponsible with whatever you do. After all why would you understand the load of work I have to do each day, going after the bad guys.. if even for one day you'd go things I do then you'd understand where I'm coming from But if this is the way it's going to be, you do your own shit and I'll do mine "harry sneered back

" work ? You're saying as if I don't do work? I teach at least 6 classes in a day, check almost 200 copies, sit with a bunch of teachers who are much more older than me, clean the mess of the potions students make, don't you dare compare our work! Just because your work requires more strength or power or maybe responsibility, doesn't mean I don't do shit "

" draco, you're a damn teacher. I am a goddamn auror. I put my life on line everyday so I can make money for us-"

" and you're not the only man making money in this house. I earn only 200 galleons less than you do and that's not even a huge deal so stop making it seem as if you're the man of the House or that you are doing a great deal for me because let me be honest, the only thing you do for me is creating problems and fighting, that's it " draco yelled and stormed out of the house before harry could've yelled back further.

Harry groaned loudly shutting off the house and storming away himself to get away from the horrors the place held. Both of them Only returned much later after midnight at the same time and went to bed immediately without saying even a single word. And the next morning, draco left the house much more earlier than he was supposed to, leaving a note that he'd be at Hogwarts for at least a week as per the requirements by the school board to finish off with the heavy work left pending. At first harry was Happy seeing the note, thinking to himself that the house would be Empty after so Long.

But he was wrong.

At night when he came back to a messed up home, no cooked meal, he felt slightly furious and almost called out to draco but realised quickly that he wasn't home. Not dropping much thought over it, cleaned up the place, freshened up and decided to order food instead of cooking. But 4 days in, harry found himself much more tired and in desperation to just see Draco. The thing was harry knew why draco was staying an entire week at school, he knew his husband very well, he would never leave any pending work but just the realisation that draco needed a break from harry and the house, he found it saddening on a lonely night.

" so what'd he say last before he left ?" Ron asked as they chatting up about their Harry's current problems with marriage over brunch away from work for sometime

" something about him earning not significantly less than me and how I'm irresponsible and creating problems. I'm just tired Ron, lately all we do is fight. You wouldn't believe, just last week we were fighting about changing a wallpaper and you'd expect that it got resolved but it didn't. We didn't talk and that was it. It just- I don't know- like the whole marriage thing really work out for us " harry replied sadly

Ron looked at harry understandingly.." I understand you harry but I don't think he's entirely wrong-"

" so you also think I'm irresponsible-"

" Merlin, don't get your knickers in twist. All I'm saying maybe he isn't wrong. You've fought with me quite often too lately but we're friends harry, but it's different with him, he's your husband. He needs you and you can't possibly deny that you've been nice to people lately. When was the last time you bought Hermione flowers or told her she looked not a today older than she is or the last time you called Ginny about her games or take neville, when did you even call him last to see how he's doing ? The thing is Harry you've been so work involved that you've barely acknowledged the people around you. Remember 2 months after you got married and you told me marrying draco was the best thing you did, what happened to that ?"

Harry's face drew upset, knowing that Ron was in fact right. He'd been so into himself that he had barely made time for the rest of them " I don't know Ron. I just feel like maybe it's all getting out of hands. Like my plates full maybe-"

" like you need a break?"

Harry nodded.

" look Hermione and me have known you the longest and she haven't seen you in so long but she knows somethings up. We know you harry, we understand how you get when you're stressed or angry even but this, this isn't who you are. After everything you've been through and go through each day we understand you but to me you'll always be the harry potter who broke his glasses like a million times in school yet refused to buy new one's because you liked them or the harry potter who hung me by my feet or the harry potter who'd die than leave his friends " ron gave harry the most perfect smile for the situation.

Harry sighed " what am I doing wrong Ron ?"

" you've forgotten who you are and a little maybe the people around you or you're probably letting something eat you alive.. whatever it is harry, do something about it or it'll be too late to fix things" and by that harry knew he meant draco.

Harry nodded at Ron, thinking about what he'd do next to remind his husband, that he is still his lover.

When it came to Saturday night, almost a night before draco would come back, harry firmly sat back on the couch looking at the empty spot besides him with his favourite television show running in the back, yet all he could think was about the memories with draco, the times he made him laugh and now harry didn't even remember in the last one year they've been married the last time harry made his husband laugh. Harry switched off the tv, sighing, getting up from the couch and going into the storage room. He cleared the dust, blowing some away, then turning on a little lamp around the corner. Following his instincts, harry went deeper into the pit of storage and found his things back from the school days. Falling into nostalgia, harry took his school thing's, a few things after that and album's he had gotten made and went back to living room and set everything on the ground.

Memories probably never leave you yet sometimes you need to be reminded of who you are to become who you want to be and that's exactly what harry was doing, figuring out when he became the person he is Today. He went through things after things he had from school, his defense against dark arts books, the model of something science related he made for muggle studies and the albums. Pictures after pictures with people he loved, he found himself drowning into it. It had been so long since the last time he contacted any of them and it saddened him. This isn't who he is, yet somehow this is exactly who he is. As sadness started to fill into his lungs, he finally opened the last box he had retrieve and opened it to find things related to draco. They started going out late in 8 th year and going through a lot of post-war things, Harry had maintained a diary in a muggle way to vent out but most of the end of the diary was filled with how draco looked so good under the moon or how draco was mindlessly biting the top of pencils or biting his lip during class or how his dates went.

Without glancing up harry said " don't leave me "

" how did you know I came ? " Draco asked as he stepped into the living room and sat down next to harry

" you're my soulmate draco, I can sense whenever you're around me "

" you can ?" Draco frowned, not believing harry could still do it.

" just because I've became this huge asshole doesn't mean I've stopped loving you draco "

" it doesn't hurt to remind every once in a while "

Harry looked up finally to see an upset draco sitting next to him with a sad smile " I do tell you I love you "

" when was the last time you said that to me?" Draco asked smiling lightly

Harry frowned lightly, confused but immediately realised he hadn't spoken the words out in almost 5 months " fuck- I'm sorry- shit"

" yeah " draco signed looking down at the things harry was going through " what's all this ?"

" this- school stuff. And this is a box specifically about you " harry pushed the box a little box towards draco

" I own an entire separate box ?" Draco chuckled

" you own an entire different separate place in my life too and I think me becoming an asshole forgot that " harry replied sadly. Draco looked at harry sympathetically before pulling him forward towards him and wrapping his arms around Harry's torso..

" that's all I wanted to hear " draco's voice broke. Harry leaned in further, his head pressed against draco's chest, small tears escaping his eyes and wetting draco's shirt.

" I'm sorry. I never meant to be this problematic and with the whole fighting things. I'm so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you but I just, I'm such an asshole" harry rambled

" you're not an asshole harry. Hey look at me- you are a brilliant man who sometimes needs a break. I haven't been less of an ass to you myself but everyone have a rough patch in marriage and we will get past this too. We're special harry, remember. We're Always special " draco smiled holding Harry's face in his hands

" I don't want to be this person. I just want to be yours and I don't want to fight you, I don't want to yell at you or you to yell at me and i don't want you ever leaving me alone.. I can't- I don't want to be without you draco, I don't know how to be. I've been so selfish that forgot to tell you how much I love you for 5 months, I don't ever want that again. I want to tell you everyday how much I love you. I don't want all these fights, I hate it without you. It doesn't feel like home without you draco, you're my home and with you gone, nothing makes sense, not even me " harry sobbed.

Draco eyes welled up with tears " I don't want all this too harry. I want to be entirely yours and yours forever. I Always Want you to be my home. Fuck I love you- I've missed you so much "

" I missed you too. I love you draco, I love you so so so much, I love you "

" I know you do " draco smiled. He softly kissed the top of Harry's head, then his cheeks, his eyes, his forehead and finally his lips.

" don't ever leave me, ever "

" never " Draco sobbed, their foreheads touching each other, taking in deep breaths with tears running down their faces like a small river.

It was sometime later when they started going through Harry's thing's together with harry cuddled into draco.

" what's this ?" Draco asked as he picked out a small dry petal

" oh, this was from the restaurant I proposed in "

" and this ?"

" this is- I think the handkerchief you left the night we first kissed "

" oh, nice, what this ?"

" I think that's the note I wrote to you to ask you out for first date but never sent it "

" real smooth harry " draco chuckled. Harry rolled his eyes, playfully hitting draco over his chest before picking up and showing him thing's again.

" you still have that paper boat from our first date ?" Draco asked softly gazing at harry

" well- I still think it's the most perfect boat ever made " harry smiled at draco before pressing a small kiss over his lip.

It was harry who Always imagined that, that perfect little boat was the reasons for everything they have right now, but draco never needed to know that, after all he was his special man and he made him the happiest man in the whole world even if sometimes the boat drowned a bit..

" when was your first time ?" Seamus smugly asked Draco as he drank his butter beer from across the room sprawled over the bean bag

" I will prefer not to answer the question. It is highly confidential and that information shall only be revealed to Someone I'm with. So dear Seamus you can enjoy asking this question to other, while I would refuse to answer " Draco sophisticatedly replied, tilting his head to put on more emphasis upon his words.

" Merlin, you could've just said I'm not answering that. No need to go all Shakespearian " Ron rolled his eyes at Draco.

Harry chuckled as he joined Draco over the couch, putting his legs over Draco's laps, not that either of them ever minded that physical touch " that's Draco for you. He'll never give a direct answer. I can bet, if he were in an English Muggle class, he'd top "

" I topped nonetheless " Draco rolled his eyes, his hands automatically falling into a pattern of softly stroke the bottom of Harry's leg, a habit he's grown attached to.

" really? From what I remember I got 7 owls while you got only 6. It's just as if I was infact better than you " Harry smirked

" whatever Harry. I was the headboy " Draco rolled his eyes at harry, yet again but then again he liked these small bickerings with him. Blaise eyed them from the corner of the room, enjoying it himself, not Daring to say anything.

" and I was given the opportunity, I just denied "

" as if "

" whatever helps you sleep at night darling" Harry teased as he pinched Draco's cheeks softly

" don't " Draco growled as he swatted Harry's hand away

" one angry kitten aren't you " Harry chuckled, picking up his can of butter beer and drinking it.

" don't call me that " Draco sneered, not in a furious way, just slightly threatening way.

" anywaysss " Seamus echoed, breaking off their not so private conversation " when was your first time harry ?"

" Ron, you might wanna cover your ears for this one " Harry chuckled. Ron gave him a look but refused to do so " it was after war, when I got back with Ginny, in the time we were going out for a short time "

" what about in 6th year ?" Dean asked snuggling closer to Seamus on the bean bag

" we couldn't really ever get to it. I mean for one neither of us were ready, and we were just kids. Although when we did it after we got back together, we realised almost instantly it wasn't something we enjoyed, not that part, just with opposite sex kind of thing. Well mostly her, no offense. Or it could've been we weren't just attracted to each other that way " Harry explained

" really ? I always thought you guys would work out you know " Dean said. Harry looked at Dean amused but didn't say anything.

" I never thought you guys would end up together really. Never seemed as if so " Seamus added

" interest me in why ?" Harry asked

" it just, I always knew you were sort of bi even before you started going with Ginny. It was Evident really sometimes. And with Ginny herself, she didn't seem like a person to be with a guy. I mean coming from I figured my sexuality really early on, I just sometimes knew it.. besides after the first time you guys broke up, it seemed almost impossible for it work later on " Seamus explained. Everyone including Draco thought about what he had said and nobody could even deny that it was a lie.

" what's your dating track anyway right now Harry ?" Blaise asked standing over the chair behind Ron.

" oh it's not that bad. I do go out on a few dates. I went on a date last week infact and believe me that guy was really good, dashing, almost ced- well Cedric diggory Kinda hot but right in the middle of the date, I feel something going up my leg. I almost choked on my Tuna fish and he goes, do you like it ? I was more shocked than anything else. It was weird if anything "

" so what next ?"

" I didn't call him back. I think somewhere along the date, he might've said he had feet fetish.. he would much rather make love to my feets than me and it was just plainly weird "

" people have all different sorts of fetishes " Ron frowned

" yeah, I respect them but feet fetishes just creeps me out " Harry almost shivered at the thought of it.

And everyone soon fell into talking about weirdest kinks and fetishes, something they all were rather amused to be in conversation about, except, Harry.

Draco stopped stroking Harry's leg for a moment to softly clutch on them to seek his attention.

" it's alright Harry.. you can't change anything.. besides I think he lived a good life" Draco softly said.

" I still can't forget though. It's almost as if I can still see it happening in front of my eyes " Harry Whispered back.

" I know. He was a brave guy though. You can't do anything anymore. I'm sure- he'd want you to get over it too " Draco whispered. Harry bit his lip softly before nodding. To provide comfort, Draco again started stroking Harry's legs.

" feels nice" Harry smiled at Draco, who simply smiled back.

" talking off that, what say about going on a date with someone ?" Harry asked Draco but had inevitably grabbed attention from a few others in the room.

Draco raised his eyebrows in strange surprise " really ?"

" I met some guy at the animal shop across the street. He seemed like someone you could date " Harry replied

" why me, why not you ?" Draco defensively asked

" well, he's not my type but he's yours and he did seem to notice you with me a couple of days ago, so I thought maybe you could talk to him and see if you'd like to go out with him " Harry suggested.

Draco frowned at harry before clearing his throat " I'll pay that animal shop a visit then "

" great " Harry grinned

" I'm gonna use the loo " Draco sighed and got up abruptly

" unbelievable " Blaise announced. Harry looked around the room to receive strange looks " what are you all staring at me for ?" Harry asked confused

But nobody responded except that most of them groaned, leaving Harry more confused. Draco returned a few minutes, chatted a bit and then left claiming he had to feed his cat.

As a few weeks goes on by, Harry discovered that draco did started going with the guy he had told him about and was infact in a happy place to be with him. And it was all fun and games until Harry was offended that Draco no longer gave him that much time anymore or the fact that he kept cancelling on him over and over or that he longer was interested in watching movies with harry but sure had fun plans with his so called boyfriend or the guy he's dating, he cared no less. By which he meant, he did cared. To say his friends were tired of Harry ranting on about Draco cancelling on him that one time Ron even put up muffalito charm on him. It was splendid how things were going, in a sarcastic way of course until Draco decided it was time for him to make everyone meet his boyfriend, and harry wanted to burn himself on flames.

" I frankly don't understand why the expensive dinner, I mean, couldn't he had just invited us to his place or his so called boyfriend's place " Harry vented air quoting boyfriend

" Harry you were the one who set him up in the first place, stop being mad at him and jealous not to mention " Hermione rolled her eyes eating the chips off the packet

" jealous, I'm not jealous " Harry defensively said

" sure " Ron rolled his eyes.

" look Harry, you're clearly jealous that he isn't spending as much as time with you and its bothering you, so just talk to him about it " Hermione suggested shrugging her shoulder

" look, I don't know what's cooking in both of your brains but I'm-not-jealous " harry slammed the cloth over the counter and went inside his bedroom

" I miss the time when he wasn't such a dramatic ass " Ron taunted

" I can hear you " Harry yelled from inside the room, hearing faint whispers from Ron and Hermione in the living room..

And the truth infact was that Harry was jealous, which he Only discovered over the dinner when Draco was practically almost all over him that harry wanted to tell him to just sit in his lap, didn't of course. And to make it worse, he was jealous of how good they actually looked, which resulted in harry losing his appetite and almost groaning every five minutes. Hermione had to kick him under the table to behave a couple of times.

Spending the night in his thoughts, Harry came across things he wished he had known earlier or things he never felt but whatever it was, he felt frustrated in himself to set Draco up and he had no idea what to do next, so he decided to take advice from the only man he knew the best was at.

" Harry ? What a pleasant surprise. Ron's not at home though " Blaise said as he opened the door for him

" I actually came here to talk to you " Harry sighed as he went in. Blaise frowned in surprise before walking behind Harry himself

" well what can I interest you in, a joke, a mimickery,-"

" an advice actually " Harry groaned as he slumped down on the couch.

" oh- Ron's better at that-"

" he isn't, he told me to talk to you " Harry replied. Blaise walked into the kitchen, opening the window to the living room to converse through the kitchen.

" did he ? What can I help you with then ?" Blaise asked as he poured water for Harry and walking in to give it to him.

" I think, that I might have feelings for Draco" Harry replied

" you are officially the last person to know that " Blaise chuckled as he walked back into the kitchen and fetched something to eat.

" what ? You guys knew that ?" Harry sat uptight

" of course " Blaise scrunched his eyebrows as an obvious face

" why didn't you guys tell me ?" Harry asked agitated with his friends

" because these are the things we're not supposed to tell you, you're the one supposed to tell us, you dimwit " Blaise rolled his eyes, throwing his hands in the air.

" well you could've at least warned me " Harry groaned

" how could you not have known !! When did you even figure It out anyways?" Blaise asked as he shut the cabinet for the last time, bringing a packet of cookies and chips with him and slumping down in front of Harry.

" I think I've known for a bit since he started going out, but last night i was pretty confirmed that I was jealous " Harry Told him

" well I'd like to say you are that ruined your chances but guessing you came for advice, you came here to know how to fix it and I'll tell you, I do not have even the slightest idea how to fix your shit soup "

" what ?" Harry emphasised

" Harry, you yourself set him up with someone almost exactly like you. If Draco even Liked you at some point, now he knows that you don't like him and he's probably moved on and supposedly happy in his newfound relationship "

" Blaise, If I wanted to listen to how I fucked it up I wouldn't had come to you. I need to know how can I fix this " harry sarcastically responded raising his eyebrows

" look the easiest way is to simply confess or move on. I can't help you harry even if I wanted to. Draco seems happy " Blaise told him emphatically.

Harry was disappointed but knew Blaise was right, there was possibly nothing he could've done to make it right, at least not something that would sabotage their relationship.

It took harry a couple more days to become normal with the fact that draco was dating and finally paving his way to move on, which was definitely hard. And harry could've assumed he was doing good until Draco invited him for a picnic, claiming they haven't gotten out individually in a while. Normally harry would've been very ecstatic about it but considering the phase he was going through it was hard but didn't deny his sweet offer.

" took you a bit long- and your boyfriend's here too " harry pressed his lips in a thin line when he saw them coming together.

"it was just us but his plans got cancelled last moment so he tagged alone.. i hope you don't mind " Draco plead guilty

Harry sighed before giving him a firm smile and nodding " it's going to be one hell of a day "

Halfway through the picnic, harry Would've assumed he would be the thrid wheel but it was infact quite opposite, his boyfriend, jake was infact the third wheel who basically had no idea about draco's life which surprised harry a little more than it should have.

" you- jake, you alright ?" Harry asked looking over draco's shoulder at his boyfriend who looked puzzled

" what? I'm fine, just thinking " he gave them a firm smile.. draco leaned a bit into jake as if to give him the feeling he was still here but jake rejected it, much to draco's surprise.

" what you thinking about ?" Harry asked furrowing his eyebrows.

" what exactly I'm doing here?-"

" shit- I'm sorry for making you feel as if I'm intruding-"

" no, it's not that. It's just so clear that you both are so meant to be together, yet here I am on a picnic with two people who are supposed to be together but are not because of me-"

" that's not true " draco interjected

" is it not ? " Jake asked more firmly than before, not forgetting to give a smile so as to not sound harsh.

Draco opened his mouth to say something but closed it again.

" even if it is true for me, I don't think Draco feels that way . Besides you guys are dating, I don't want to be the reason for your break up" harry replied sympathetically

" you're not harry. I just- I can see it, maybe you two are blind but I'm not.. Enjoy yourselves " jake said as he abruptly stood up

" jake don't be like that " draco too stood up

Jake sighed taking draco's hands in his own " I'll stay if you admit you don't have any feelings for him, if you've never wanted to be with him, if you've felt anything closer to what you feel for him about Me. Admit it freely and I'll stay"

But draco couldn't say anything..

" thought so. I'd be fine by the way. I don't think I've seen two people belonging to each more than you two " and jake departed.

Draco stood there a few minutes watching him walk away, his shoulder slouched as if not believing that he'd just been dumped.

" draco-"

" you're a jerk " draco turned around

" what ?" Harry asked confused

" you're an insolent jerk " draco picked up from dry leaves from the ground and hitting harry with that.

" what the fuck did I do ?" Harry shielded himself as draco threw more and more leaves and grasses

" you fucking moron, you were Flirting with me " draco huffed stopping for a moment

" I wasn't flirting " harry whined. Draco gave him a look before picking up more leaves and throwing it at him

" okay, okay. I was but hey it's your fault to go along with it " harry stumbled back over the ground

" well it's not my fault if you're bloody good at it "

" is it my fault that you enjoyed and I'm not the only victim here, you were flirting too " harry looked up at Draco from the ground

" I wasn't flirting " draco narrowed his eyes. Harry hooked his leg around that of draco, making him trip over and fall over harry, who he instantly rolled over, pinning draco to ground.

" were you not ?" Harry breathed

" it doesn't matter-"

" you were flirting back" harry commanded

" okay, fine I was but you had no right- hmph" draco moaned softly as harry kissed him over the lips, kissing until the need for oxygen finally had made sense again.

" now tell me, how long have you wanted this?" Harry huffed.

Draco rolled his eyes, still pink from all the kissing " I haven't wanted this "

" okay " harry frowned as he leaned down, his lips lightly brushing over that of draco's " you sure ?" Harry asked not moving an inch closer or further

Draco's breath choked down, desperately wanting to lean forward to kiss him again but didn't to avoid giving harry the satisfaction of having the upper hand.

" you don't want me to kiss you again then? That's right yeah " harry whispered as he bit Draco's lower lip, earning a soft moan and his body involuntarily pressed against harry's

" seems otherwise " harry whispered.

" merlin " draco moaned. Smirking harry pulled away looking at Draco from a distance.

Sucking his cheeks, draco immediately pulled harry to him and kissed him again, this time in more desperation and rush.

" guess who's got the upper hand now " draco moaned as he freed his hands and put them in his hair.

" you" harry chuckled, Thoroughly enjoying kissing draco himself.

" jerk " draco chuckled

" you're the jerk " harry chuckled

" and you broke his heart " harry whispered against his lips smiling

" eh, he always knew it anyways " draco shrugged

" you really are a jerk then " harry smiled as he pulled away a bit, admiring draco.

" and you're the jerk who just broke my relationship and has basically manipulated me into kissing you " draco raised an eyebrow amusingly

" I don't regret it " harry regret

" me either " draco smiled and leaned in again.

The sun seeped through the small creek between the open french window as draco heard the faint footsteps coming through.

" dad, have you got a minute ?" His son asked. Draco pushed off the prophet in his lap, formed a smile and pointed at the arm rest chair in front of him

" what brings you here ?"

" I have all the time for you scorp " he smiled as Scorpius settled in. Scorpius formed a smile just like his own before continuing to talk.

" I got- letter- well a note more like " Scorpius frowned as he bought his small hands for draco to see it. Draco cautiously took the note and read.

" who gave it to you ?" Draco asked grinning

" Albus potter "

Draco swallowed sucking in a air before bringing upon his face another smile

" what's stopping you then ?"

" I don't know. He's Just- he's not like us you know. I mean he's good, he's great even but he's well, he's a mess you know what I mean"

Draco chuckled knowing exactly what he had meant, been through the same.

" Invite him over on weekend scorp. He's no different than you are, give him a chance and I'm sure he can touch different sides of you "

A small smile started forming over Scorpius's face as he understood that draco very much accepted whatever it was.

" thank you dad " Scorpius jumped up from the chair and hugged draco.

" anything darling " draco replied as he soothed his son's hair.

" don't make the same mistakes as I did " draco whispered letting go of Scorpius

" what do you mean ?" Scorpius frowned watching draco's face carefully.

" just- I made the mistake of judging someone by their appearance and regretted it for the rest of my life" draco pondered over in his thoughts as he still faintly remebered the first encounters.

" there's more isn't it ?" Scorpius asked after a moment

" no-"

" I can tell " Scorpius raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms over his small torso just like his own father. Draco broke in an amused smile as he realised his son learnt it all from him.

" you've grown up, haven't you " draco smiled " sit, I'll tell you a story then, you sneaky mister " draco tickled him softly making Scorpius chortling falling over in the chair in front of him.

" what's it about ?" Scorpius breathed heavily

" My first love " draco replied. Scorpius pushed himself upright, his palm beneath his chin as he bought all his attention into one single moment of tale and draco gave him the pleasure of hearing the story about the boy he fell in love when he was just 15, despite being on different sides.

" didn't he ever return ?" Scorpius asked as draco finished telling him about his last interaction by the lake.

" he did, after the war was over "

" then what happened ? Didn't you guys oblige to your promise ?" Scropius asked sitting almost on the edge of the chair

" we- we fell apart. He had moved on, I had to move on too " draco smiled sadly remembering watching first love walking out of the school not even glancing a look behind for him.

" that is sad " Scorpius's face turned into a small sad frown as he fell backwards

" indeed "

" didn't you fight for him or didn't he ?"

" it was a loosing battle scorp " draco sighed, answering what he answered to himself every night whenever he thought why didn't they fight.

" what if you could've won, at least once ?"

" we won only once when the world didn't know. We could've never won-"

" but what if you had ?" Scorpius impatiently jumped

" we would've-"

" but you never fought. How do you know !! What if after everything he's still waiting for you ? What if - what if he wants to be with you again? What if he was ready for a fight ?" Scropius asked

" he moved on Scorpius even if it hurts you and me both. He did " draco furrowed his eyebrows titling his head, watching how the story's ending upset him so much.

Scorpius got up from the chair, saddened by the story, as if a void was filling in his heart and slowly started walking away.

" Scorp " draco whispered, heaviness drowning his ever so light voice

Only for a moment Scorpius turned around and whispered " what if he didn't move on dad? What if you only thought he did ?"

Draco was bewildered with the tone of hurt and a sense of maturity overlaying his words. He looked at his growing boy fondly as wind blew his hair over his face " then if day comes when we'd meet again, I'll go back to him "

" I think mom would want that " Scorpius said and exited the room.

Draco sat there frowning to himself as the harmonious jazz music slowed down coming to an end. He looked at the picture over the coffee stand of his small family before Astoria died, his eyes glistening with the horrors of losing her

" if you ever get a chance, go back to him for me " Astoria whispered one late night a week ago before she died of leukemia

" what ?" Draco scrunched his face as he put their young son to sleep

" go back to him if he ever comes back draco. You asked my dying wish, That's my dying wish " Astoria instantaneously coughed. Draco immediately fetched water, helping her drink it.

" why would you want that ?" Draco whispered with the heaviness of tears Dared to spill.

" I took away you from him draco, I never wanted that. And I'm so sorry-"

" it's not your fault " draco eyes glistened as he held her hands, rubbing small circles

" isn't it ? " She asked smiling, her smile fragile as a glass yet so beautiful that it could light up a thousand worlds.

" it's not" draco replied saddened by his truth

" a part of your heart will always belong to him draco "

" I don't love him anymore. I did once, not anymore "

" then why do you keep his picture and look at this picture every night before you sleep ?" Astoria asked as she unclasped her hand to show a small picture of him and his first love.

" where did you find- it doesn't matter Astoria. I love you" draco kissed her hands softly, taking away the picture and putting it away.

" I know you do draco, you always have. You have spent your entire life after him trying to provide me love the same way you gave to him , but even if truth hurts, you knew you could never love me wholly. You loved him draco and you'll spend the rest of your life loving him-"

" that's not true astoria. I have always loved you and I always will -" but astoria pressed her hand against draco's lips as a single tear fell from her eye, giving him a small saddened smile

" lie to me if you will, lie to your heart, never do, for it only beats once and will only beat for one " Astoria recited " I have loved you, when the sun has risen and when the moon has drowned, I have loved you when the grass has turned green and I have also loved you when the grass has fade to yellow, I have loved you- what was it after this ?" Astoria asked pulling her hand away from that of draco's lips.

" I have loved you in every poetry and will always do, for in every poetry, I hear your voice. I have loved you and I have to deal with it because in the end even the stars choose destruction over life and you, darling are the brightest star " draco went on, heavy tears escaping his eyes. Astoria softly placed her hand over his cheeks and gently wiped them away..

" you wrote it for him " Astoria said, it wasn't a question but a statement. Draco kissed her knuckles, little sobs escaping his lips. Astoria pressed her lips in a thin line to avoid her sobs but a broken heart Could've Only beared so much. She put her head on top of his, letting her tears wet his hair.

" give him a second chance draco. He deserves it " she whispered as she kissed the top of his head.

" I love you " draco whispered, gazing far into the distance with sorrows and regrets of his life pulling him under.

Draco wiped away his tears, kissing the picture he had picked up then opening the back of the frame to see the small photo Astoria had grasped in her death bed that night. He longingly stared at it before locking away the frame and keeping it over the coffee table again.

He loved him, he Always have, whether he admitted or not.

_______________________________

A few days later when Scorpius had finally informed about Albus coming home, draco's heart beat have been on the run the entire time, Only realising then that he'd see harry after years, years in seperation.

Scorpius had been jumping up and down all day, excited about Albus coming over, the first friend he made in so long after his parents. He was so excited that he cleaned his collection of small broomstick over 3 times before he finally heard the floo going off and footsteps coming in.

Scorpius excitedly jumped off the chair, immediately walking to the door, draco walking behind him. The first thing he saw was the exact copy of harry standing in the middle of the living room. And then he finally heard

" malfoy " his voice sounded firm. Draco finally looked up at him, his breath halting just for a moment

" potter " he nodded just as sternly as the whirlwind of moment's from past danced in reels in front of him that he didn't even he heard theirs sons running away upto Scorpius's room.

" so.. " harry awkwardly said as he rubbed the back of his neck, a habit draco thought he still haven't dropped from whenever he was nervous. Draco almost wanted to smile and point it out to him but he's no longer the same person, nor is harry. He's no longer the boy he loved, nor draco was.

" tea ?" Draco finally asked

Harry contemplated for a moment before giving him a small " sure "

Draco nodded firmly walking into the kitchen, looking over his shoulder to make sure harry was following him..

" this place isn't like I remember " harry said after a few moments.

Nor is he.

" I got it renovated after father died " draco replied as he poured some water in kettle to boil.

" right"

" I heard about it, I wanted to reach out but then - well I couldn't. You probably had a lot of other messages I'm sure " harry awkwardly said.

Why didn't you ? I waited .

" I did. A loads from ex death eaters too " draco replied as he took off the kettle and poured into two small cups with tea bags already dipped in.

" milk?" Draco asked turning around to see harry awkwardly standing in the middle of the dining room.

" oh- sure yeah " harry replied

" please sit, ha- Mr. Potter-"

" harry " harry corrected

" I think we deserve to call each other by names whatsoever " harry added pushing his hands down into his pocket.

Draco firmly nodded, pouring milk in Harry's cup and unusually not in his. Draco put the cups over the small table, offering biscuits.

" sugar ?" Draco asked

" no- thanks " harry pressed his lips in a thin line, taking the cup in his hand, frowning when he looked at the other cup.

" no milk for you ?" Harry asked.

Draco shook his head, almost flinching by the bitter taste

" but you- nevermind "

" I stopped taking milk a couple of days ago " draco lied

" why ?" Harry asked curiously

" scorp is lactose intolerant, we found out recently. It's an approach to make him feel better too " draco lied smoothly again.

Harry frowned but didn't ask further.

" I'm sorry about your father though. I really wanted to reach out " harry said seriously.

" and I'm sorry about your separation. Scorpius told me just yesterday. I hadn't known it otherwise " draco replied drinking his tea

" I'm sorry about Astoria " harry sympathetically said, cautious even to make sure he didn't overstep his boundaries.

" it's alright " draco replied as he gulped his tea entirely and put away his cup in the sink..

" so I heard you're applying for Hogwarts finally ?"

" Neville told me " harry added.

" yeah- it's a good place to work in. It was finally time I paid back my respect to Hogwarts when I should've years ago " draco replied, walking back over to the table.

" good for you " harry awkwardly replied again and soon they fell into silence.

" you're still in DMLE then ?" Draco asked after a couple of moment's

" no actually, I quit long time ago. I coached for Ginny's team for a time but then I finally opened a restaurant bar " harry replied, his lips pressed tightly together putting the empty cup down on the saucer.

" oh- that's quite good " Draco replied with much appreciation.

" how did you know about DMLE ?" Harry asked

" oh- prophet " draco replied.

" right "

" tour of the house ?" Draco asked suddenly

" sure" harry replied and they got up to take the tour of the house.

When they finally reached Scorpius's room, they heard faint whispers coming from the room. Amused harry pushed open the door.

" dadd, privacy " Albus whined.

Draco and harry chortled shutting off the door behind them " what do you think they're doing ?" Harry asked

Draco smirked " wanna find out ?"

Harry's eyes widened in surprise as draco casted a spell over the front of the door that caused a blur image over the door.

" draco, privacy " harry chuckled taking draco's wand away before they could've properly looked through

" I'm kidding, you Couldn't had even possibly seen through the door properly even if you wanted to " draco gave harry a smile

" I think our now so grown up kids wouldn't enjoy us invading their privacy " harry chuckled again

" talk about grown up, sometimes scorp is really like I'm watching myself in the mirror " draco chuckled as the started walking down the steps towards the garden

" he really is your copy "

" isn't he !" Draco smiled at harry once again, freely for the first time that even if harry tried to not be mesmerized by his smile, he was still lost for a few moments.

Caught in the moment, harry cleared his Throat, breaking them both out of their moment of fondly looking at each other.

" anyways. Albus is exactly like you " draco said as they reached the final step

" oh yes, I mean I wouldn't say exactly. He looks a lot like me-"

" specially your eyes "

Harry turned his head to draco, shocked for a mere second before continuing " especially my eyes, yes but he's a lot like Ginny. After he lives with her "

" I thought you Would've gotten a shared custody?" Draco asked

" oh we do, she gets them for the week, I mostly get them for the weekend " harry explained

" and its easy ?"

" dad- oh "

" what happened Albus ?" Harry turned around immediately to the voice of his son

" I was- well I was going to say we should probably go, mom would pick me up in another hour and we still have homework to do, well mostly you "

" Albus, I do not do your homework " but it was too late, draco was already stifling a laugh

" oh as if you don't help your son" harry rolled his eyes

" oh I sure do " draco sarcastically replied before chortling away.

" whatever draco. I'm just being a good dad " harry rolled his eyes

" so?" Albus cut them off

" yeah- I mean we do have your homework to do " harry replied

" can we come over next week mr. Malfoy ?" Albus asked

" Albus " harry exclaimed

" oh no it's fine. It's an empty house. Scorpius sure would like that very much, wouldn't you the boy behind the pillar " draco called out

Scorpius came out from behind the pillar blushing in embarrassment of being caught.

" it'd be a pleasure to have you over Albus " draco leaned down to Albus's height, ruffling his hair.

" wow he doesn't let me do that" harry rolled his eyes

" well you do ruffle hair quite agressively harry " draco smiled

" whatever draco " harry smiled back.

They were cut off by theirs son's fake coughing, who had a smug look upon their faces.

" right, we should go " harry said

" next week ?" Draco asked immediately

Harry raised an eyebrow before giving him a nod " I'll see you next week, draco "

As weeks went on and on, Albus and Scorpius brought up more and more plans and reasons to see each other over the weekends, making harry and draco inevitably face each other, whether they liked it or not.

It was only one Time when things took an unexpected turn when harry had ran late from work and entered his house to find draco with their sons, sleeping over each other. Harry smiled at the sleeping figures before quietly entering the kitchen and fetching himself some water. Accidentally of course, harry shut the cabinet door too harshly, waking draco up from his sleep.

" Merlin, I didn't wanna wake you " harry said

" it's quite alright " draco softly groaned as he gently got up without disturbing the boys and sat by the kitchen table.

" I'll get you tea " harry said as he poured some water into the kettle and readied the cups.

Draco frowned looking behind harry, over something. Harry looked behind him over the magents over the refrigerator. Draco got up to get a clear look and when he finally reached he took out the small rough sketch..

" you still have it ?" Draco asked

31. Would you come back to me?

Prompt used- doing a pinky promise. This post have been inspired by one of @drarry-is-my-therapy recent reblog and one of @fqirycircle drawing, which is absolutely amazing. TW- ANGST | HURT/COMFORT | Harry's heart had always belonged to the boy by the lake.

" dad" Albus said as he watched his father cleaning off the used utensils

" yea " harry replied looking over his shoulder to his son sitting behind the kitchen table.

" I- I was talking with mom the other day and she told me something " Albus nervously said

" oh yeah, what'd she tell ?" Harry chuckled

" why you guy's really separated " Albus replied. Harry stopped dead for a moment looking blankly at the utensils until he resumed washing, not replying anything yet.

Once done, harry wiped off his hands over his apron, handing Albus the cold coffee he had just brewed, taking one for himself, he sat down in front of Albus with a curious smile.

" so what'd she tell you ?"

" well- she doesn't want me talking to you about these things but I- think I'm big enough to know these things now, don't you think ?" He nervously asked once again.

" well- albus I think you are " harry gave albus a friendly frown and with that Albus immediately loosened up, giving harry a genuine smile.

" so what did she tell you ?" He asked once again pointing Albus to drink his cold coffee.

" well- she told me- that you guys didn't love each other " Albus said

" I do love your mom Albus-"

" just not the same way, right ?" Albus asked. Biting the inside of his cheek harry deliberated whether he should actually let Albus know or not, until he did, knowing if he were where Albus was, he'd want to know too.

Harry nodded hesitantly.

" but you guys seemed to love each other so much? Like all the things you did, I mean i don't get it how could you just fall out of love you know ?" Albus asked a little irritated by the fact that his parents had actually fallen out of love. Harry is suddenly strongly reminded of a very Vivid situation, the situation he'd been so familiar with.

" Albus- I think what you're trying to say is that we Always cared for each other. We often confuse love with care. At much later part of our marriage, before separation we had almost forgotten what was it like to love each other and simply cared for one another" harry explained.

Albus clenched looking at his father, " so you're saying one day we eventually fall out of love ?"

" what- no- Albus, no that's not what happened- hell " harry immediately responded.

" then what happened ?" Albus aggressively asked

" it's- it's just more complicated than it seems Albus but I want you to know that love is real, alright. Just because your parents didn't work out doesn't mean love cannot exists, look at your uncle Ron and aunt Hermione, I've rarely ever seen love like that and hell I can't even tell you how much time they had spent crushing desperately over each other for years. We're sorry- really for setting such a bad example but we're not perfect, nobody is. It's simply is we couldn't make it work and we regret it " harry sighed pushing his hair back from falling over his face.

Albus shoulder slumped down a bits, staring at the water ring on his coaster absent mindedly.

" just say it albus. Don't keep it in " harry encouraged knowing his son was deliberating about saying something.

Albus looked up at harry strangely, a look he had never looked at him with ever before, " she said- that you- you've never truly loved her. She said even though you loved her but a part of your heart Always belonged to someone else "

And everything stopped. Harry's breath caught in his throat, his hand stilled in the air, even his hair on his forehead became still. He was shook Ginny had told him something like that. It wasn't as if harry wasn't ever prepared for such conversations but the way it had twisted into something, it was unpredictable and he found it hard to focus on one thing.

" is it true dad ? That you loved someone else too ?" Albus contemplated nervously.

Harry looked up at albus, not realising when had he ever leant down and cleared his throat to gain his voice back.

" I never cheated alb-"

" I know. She knows that but she says she knew that you Always have loved Someone else too " Albus bit his lip nervously hoping he hadn't offended harry by saying something so personal.

" i- I never thought she'd actually tell you this" harry eyes widened in surprise as he cleared his throat once again.

" w- I shouldn't have bought this up- this is just-"

" hey hey, it's fine- you said you're big enough to know these things now- well then " harry interjected nervously " she's right. I- my heart as she put it, one part of it has always belonged to someone else " harry sighed closing his eyes, glimpsing back in his memories of that one Particular person.

" oh- who ?" He asked curiously

Harry raised his eyebrows, chuckling nervously, not believing it even for a second that he is infact about have this conversation.

" someone" he finally replied.

And with that harry is brought back into his memories from years ago, that one person's laughter resonating in his head, that one smile which was only reserved for him, that voice which echoed in his head every night, as if it was calling harry to it but just as he reached the bottom, there would be another bottom and he would be stuck. Everyday. And as harry started to finally tell Albus about his first love, he flows into his memory of the last day of 5th year after harry had recently lost Sirius and was extremely vulnerable, around the black lake away from everyone, in just his own little bubble with him.

The lake reflected with the red and yellow light of the dropping sun from across the mountain and a faint breeze drying Harry's face covered with tears. He has someone's arms around his shoulder, cooing him, reminding him one day everything would finally be fine but he didn't had it in him to even understand what he was saying. He was crying, heavily breathing because of the heart clenching pain, the void in his heart which had finally filled had now grown bigger, how was anything ever supposed to be fine..

" we need to end this " harry abruptly said

" what ?" He asked confused by Harry's sudden outrage with something complete nuisance.

" we can't- I can't keep doing this " harry replied numbly

" wha- why not ?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows, feeling slightly hurt by such abysmal suggestion.

" don't you see, I lose everyone one day and I- I can't- I don't want to deliberately lose you " harry replied looking at him.

He frowned " you're not losing me harry-"

" then will I not ?" They had never talked about future, only because it remained so uncertain that they hated the idea of future

" no- you will not " he replied

" and you are absolutely 100 percent sure ? Isn't there a possibility someone would find out about us and it'll spread like a wildfire and everyone would desperately try to separate us !" Harry exclaimed

" okay harry- first calm down. Nobody have found out about us in the last one year, it seems highly unlikely someone would-"

" voldemort knows " and suddenly both of their breaths came to a halt. One word and everything they owned collapsed onto the ground as if it was the fragile chandelier hanging on the top of a broken roof.

" how-"

" he can see in my head. We can't keep doing this-"

" then we fight-"

" I'll fight- can you ?"

And there was silence. He wanted to respond that he would but he didn't trust the world, even if he trusted himself. He hated the world. He was weak, fragile and in a fight against the world, he knew he'd always lose, over and over.

" we are on opposite sides of war. Voldemort's came out. He'll be rebuilding his army. Everything is going to change. Even us" harry tried to explain without wanting to break down. This was the first time harry after sirius had sensibly talked but it was self preservation speaking for him, he couldn't afford to lose someone he really loves, once again. For once he wanted to protect his heart, he couldn't roll it over his sleeves when his sleeves were covered with thorns. It would be a death call and he couldn't give in, just yet.

" you and I- people like us don't belong together. The world will never understand us and this is the first fight we'd lose. I want this but it's going to be difficult. We can't be together as Long as we are on opposite sides-"

"Then I'll be on your side- "

" you are " harry responded giving a weak smile

" but I belong on the other side" he replied looking far ahead over the lake as if the realisation had finally dawned upon him. Something he had always known but had now slapped him right in the face.

"yes " harry replied looking at him, Saving in his memories the last time what he really looked like, his smile, his long lashes, his crooked nose, his pale skin, his tinted cheeks, his soft ears, his soft hair, his storm filled eyes, his pink plumped lips he had kissed so often. Saving it away for one day what it would look like in a pensieve.

" we knew what we were getting into but we took the risk nevertheless. It was a deranged path and we knew it from the beginning " harry softly said clutching other man's fingers with his own.

He didn't reply, he just longingly stared at the waters, as if he was remembering them not harry.

" so we give up ?" He finally asked turning to harry with unseen part of his face wet with tears. Harry reached forward wiping away his tear but they didn't stop, they only flooded more with Harry's touch.

" no, we- we promise to come back once again after all this is over" harry smiled softly.

" and you believe there will be coming back after all ? What if one of us- dies " he hesitated In fear of only imagining it.

Harry started at him knowing it was one of the possibilities but wasn't ready for such thing. It was a huge possibility that one day harry might lose " I have hope for us " harry suddenly spoke out loud. The thoughts In his mind had unknowningly reached his lips and there wasn't a going back from that.

The other man stared at harry long enough, he too concealing this part of him for that one day they'd meet again.

" promise me then if we make it through, we'll come back to each other " he asked, his voice sounding not more than a quivering sound.

" I promise that If I make it through one day, we'll meet again and come back to each other" harry replied

" pinky promise ?" He smiled.

Harry chuckled, then nodded

" do you promise ?"

" I promise "

" what happened then ? How'd you wind up with mom ?" Albus asked curiously, a faint yellow light from the evening bouncing over his brunette head.

" did he- die ?" Albus asked almost heart broken

" what- no " harry chuckled

" then what happened ?" Albus asked again

" he- broke the promise. We belonged to someone else much before we could've even belonged to each other. When I met him after the war and his probation, he had changed completely " harry replied reminiscing about the specific day

" then didn't you ever ask him again ?" Albus asked almost jumping off his chair.

Harry gave a small smile " I couldn't "

" but why- what if he had still loved you ?" Albus asked

" as I said he was completely changed. He wasn't the man I fell in love with. He never asked either. It died out over time. Besides I'm pretty sure he had already forgotten about it. Also I think he was engaged by the time we met again, it didn't make sense" harry replied

" then didn't you ever like try to stop his wedding like In those romantic comedies mum watches ?" Albus asked excitedly

Harry laughed picking up their glasses and going over to the sink " she's always loved them. You've got to stop watching them if that's what you're cooking in your head Albus. Real love Is different than what they show, it's not just one fight and making it up. Its so much efforts, fights, pain, drama and so many other things"

" but If it's the right person, it'd never feel like that would it ? If you really love someone then those fights wouldn't be so bad or there wouldn't be pain or drama. It'd be a happy relationship, wouldn't it ?" And in that small sentence albus has unknowningly managed to define true love.

Harry looked at his now grown up son, crossing his arms smiling impressively. And nodded.

Albus sighed in relief, slumping down in his chair. Harry quizzically analysed Albus until his expressions changed to sometimes brief.

" who is it?" Harry asked knowingly

" what?" Albus blushed

" who's this person you're suddenly relating everything to ?" Harry teased poking Albus Playfully.

" there is no one dad" Albus blushed embarassed, jumping off the chair, taking a few steps back.

" come on- I told you my story. I atleast deserve to know who it is " harry smirked crossing his arms in front of him

Albus sighed rolling his eyes" he's from school"

" ooh, someone from school. Like father like son" harry teased

" dadd " Albus whined blushing

" okay- fine, fine. Who is it then ?" Harry asked giving up with the teasing.

" it doesn't matter, he doesn't like me " Albus sighed crossing his arms in front of him in disappointment.

Harry carefully analysed Albus's face again, remembering exactly the same way he felt "it's the Malfoy kid, isn't it ?"

Albus's eyes suddenly shot up in surprise.

" how did you-"

" you're my son. Of course I'd know" harry sighed uncrossing his arms and stepping forward and placing them in the kitchen table, leaning forward.

" don't make the same mistakes I did. Ask him out. Write to him maybe. I'm sure he'd agree " harry suggested.

" mistake ? What mistake did you make ?" Albus asked curiously.

Harry gave him a firm smile before he putting his hands away from the table to his sides " it's a story for some other day, your mom is gonna be here to pick you up in an hour. Do your stuff and we'll talk about it next week? What say ?"

Albus frowned before letting go and nodding.

" one last question dad "

" shoot" harry said as he started washing those used cups again

" did you ever love mom as much as you loved that someone ?"

Harry smiled this time not stopping " I- love like that happened only once. I loved your mom a different way. I loved him a different way "

" but who'd you love more then?"

Harry turned around to see Albus standing there leaning over the kitchen table curiously " I will not answer that. Now enough with my love life. Go do your homework " harry said a little sternly in his father like adamant voice.

Sighing Albus gave up.

" okay, just one question, I promise " Albus plead again. Harry sighed before nodding.

" if now he came back in your life and asks you for a second chance, would you go back to him ?"

Harry smiled Shaking his head" yes- yes I would "

The next week when Albus came back for the stay, he seemed far excited than anything else. As soon as Ginny had left, Albus squealed.

" whoa there squirrel, what's got your knickers in a twist ?" Harry chuckled

" I've got an invitation. Can we please go to scropius's place. He offered for a while. I'll promise we can come back and do homework, he really wants me to see his collections. Can we please dad, please ?" Albus gave harry his puppy eyes in desperation..

Harry sighed before nodding.

" for an hour.. "

And with that after an hour, they flooed to scropius's place. The Malfoy manor.

They were recieved with a rather very pleasant place. It was no longer a dark, submerged place, it had been refurbished with mostly white and brown. It seemed like an entirely new place. Not one part of Malfoy manor looked like what it did ages ago ,and yet harry liked it better. It was welcoming. And just then he walked in, with scropius.

" potter "

" Malfoy" harry sternly nodded at Draco, losing himself again in that brief reminiscents of the past. He hadn't changed even a little bit as he remembered him from the day by the lake, yet everything had changed. Everything.

" we're gonna go " Albus didn't even wait and ran off with scropius, leaving harry and draco alone, both staring at each other thinking how the other had forgotten of the promise..

Requests open

( I've really been writing shit lately. Anyways hope you liked this one, I'd been very excited for this one but It haven't turned out as good as I wanted to, so .. )

Day 30- scared, potter | Day 32- caressing the others back

39. Cuddle me in

Prompt used- Leaning on the others side| fluff | tired and stuck because of a mission, harry and draco comes across their past revelations |

" so I contacted the team and they won't be able to find us a back up team until morning. They said everything is mess there, apparently robard is high on some shit so. Anywho, we'll have to find ourselves a place to stay for the night " draco told harry as he chucked his wallet into his back pocket and wand over his belt loop.

Harry swished his wand, drying both of them up before tucking away his wand too " and how are we supposed to find a place in his barren place ?" He aggrieved

" well not my first choice either harry, we've got to walk until we find something " draco commanded as he started to walk forward slowly.

" why can't we just apparate?" Harry groaned following him

" because for one you dumb idiot, you've already been hurt, which by the way are you sure isn't hurting enough and secondly, where would we disapparate to ? We can't get out of here until we're sure it's safe to leave. Obviously robard wouldn't appreciate of us just escaping " draco rolled his eyes

" one, I'm fine. You've already done the honours of bandaging it with a cloth and secondly didn't you say he's high on some shit, he wouldn't know if we disapparated to some place better" harry groaned.

Impatiently draco turned around, halting his steps, exhaling exhaustingly " look I'm just as tired as you are. I too want to just go home and take some damn fucking rest but we can't apparate mainly because they keep a trace on us. They'd know we escaped this place. So please just do me a favour and silently walk with me without throwing another fit "

" whatever " harry rolled his eyes and walked past draco.

Draco cursed harry under his breath, being absolutely done with his bratty behaviour but nonetheless followed him.

They must've walked for almost 25 minutes when they finally found a bus stop.

" we can take a bus to the next more settled place ? What say ? According to the map here, the nearest would be river town" harry read from the map.

" sounds fine to me. When does the bus arrives?" Draco asked as he sat down on the lonely bench on a boring dark night.

" it's 9:15 right now according to my watch, so the bus would come around by 9:45 " harry sighed as he collapsed down next to draco.

" that bloody long " draco huffed.

" well we did miss a bus from 10 minutes ago so "

" if we could've just reached here on damn time " draco groaned, his head thudding back over the back of the bus stop wall.

" doesn't do good to dwell upon what's gone" harry said as he too pushed his head against the wall on his back

Draco hummed staring up at the ceiling, enjoying the momentary silence.

" can I ask you something ?" Harry asked after a few minutes of silence to cut the boredom. Draco had almost shut off his eyes when he lowly sighed, humming for him to go on.

"why did you had to be such a prat back in school ? Like there's nothing wrong with you anymore, you're nice, people like you, but you just bullied the hell out of people earlier! Did you enjoy doing that ?" Harry asked curiously gazing at Draco on his side.

Hearing the question, draco uplifted his head turning to harry" by people you meant you ?"

" me, my friends. Gryffindor's " harry frowned in approval.

" well I didn't bully gryffindor's as much as I bullied you and your friends. I never did it a lot quite frankly but I understand where it's coming from. However I do wish I had a better answer than I was just a stupid kid " draco shrugged

" stupid kid till you were 15 ? Really ? Doesn't seem so! I mean as far as I remember you were really sharp, you still are but still"

" yeah, I was just a stupid kid that's all. Although I did hated your guts, the praise you got for being the chosen one, how everyone just sort of moved away for you to walk upon kind of thing. Which of course was the time I never thought rationally about how it also created some really unrealistic expectations for you. Always thought you had it easy until I heard about you being on the run during the war " draco explained gazing forward with a small wrinkled smile over his face.

" oh yeah, what changed you mind when I was on the run?" Harry grinned curiously.

" I just sort of- I don't know understood a little. A large part of me wanted to just run away which by the way was what I thought back then, I had no idea you were on a mission. Well when were you not quite frankly. Anyways, when the news of you being the undesirable no. 1 Started printing out and how I sat through all the dinners of listening people framing your death, It just occurred to me then that even if I felt you had it all, there were people so aggravated to take all of it away from you. Think I was always a bit jealous until now I'm just jealous of how great friends you have " draco ended with a small smile turning his head towards him only for a moment before pressing his head back against the wall.

" see I always knew you weren't that bad " harry jokingly poked draco sides.

" it tickles, don't " draco chuckled

" if you would've been this nice during the first year, I would've shook your hands " harry said as he leaned a little over draco's side in a friendly manner.

Draco smiled at harry. It was in moments like these that draco remebered that harry isn't the person he always thought he was, it was then when he realised that harry was infact just like him, just a bit different and that maybe, he could allow himself to like him, if a little bit.

" mine is understandable, why were you a jerk ?" Draco asked

" because you were a jerk. You just always had to prove you were better and it just always made me want to put you out. Stupid rivalry " harry smiled, resting his eyes out of exhaustion.

Restless draco too shut his eyes for a few moments when without thinking and without looking he asks " do you think, If things had been right, if we weren't such assholes, you'd want to be friends with me ?"

Harry remained silent for seconds, that draco had almost assumed he had fallen asleep until harry continued " it's hard to imagine that way. You being you, me being me. We would've been terrible friend's but even if we wanted to, I think we would've hit a rough patch where we would've had to go separate ways and I don't think either of us would be able to handle that "

" and why is that ?"

" because what we would've been would not had been ordinary " harry yawned as he allowed himself to lean over draco comfortably, taking draco by surprise but didn't try to push harry away whatsoever.

" we're extraordinary then ?" Draco asked smirking, tilting his head a Little towards harry.

" not we, you " harry yawned again before draco heard his breath fading to sleep. And he didn't try to wake him up again, out of sheer embarassment of blushing at Harry's compliment or out of shock, draco didn't know, he didn't even wanted to.

When the bus finally arrived, Draco only woke harry for a couple of minutes until the got on the bus and occupied the last seats and then allowed harry to sleep again. Frowning to himself, draco realised he didn't feel the weight over his shoulder. He turned his head to see Harry's head over the sleeping person besides them. Unsatisfied, quietly and gently draco made harry lean over him. If draco had only known, harry had smiled in victory at the small gesture.

It took them almost another half and hour to finally reach a motel to stay in, much to their disadvantage Only a single bed.

" come on we're adults, we can share, can't we ?" Harry asked still a bit sleepy from before.

" I mean- i-if that's what you want. I could sleep on the- well- chair " draco stuttered, blushing. Thank goodness for the dark red room.

" nonsense. Just take a side and we'll just collapse" harry sighed.

After much contemplation, they finally decided to share the bed, draco taking the left side while harry got stuck with the right. Tired from the mission and travel, draco had almost falled asleep when he heard hustling on other side of the bed.

" whats up you kicky ?" Draco hummed

"I- nothing" harry sighed but didn't stop hustling.

" what is it ? " Draco asked again, turning towards harry now.

Harry looked at him, pondering over and over whether he should tell or not, until he decided, not much worse could happen so " I need an extra pillow "

" are you sure ? Your neck would probably hurt-"

" it's not for that" harry sighed " you see, I always hug a pillow to sleep, it's embarrassing I know, but I just can't sleep without it " he added.

Draco from 10 Years would've chortled to death but now, he fondly smiled at harry before he sat upright and called the reception for an extra pillow.

" thank you "

" what happened ?"

" yeah- they don't have it. Something about laundry " draco replied, putting off the phone away.

" nevermind then " harry sighed as he turned his back to draco and tried to sleep again.

Draco felt almost thumped by the way harry felt, until he couldn't believe he suggested something so outrageous " we could cuddle for a while. I mean I am a cuddly sleeper so won't be a problem to me. Unless it's awkward for you "

Harry turned around grinning before nodding, kiddishly. Moments later, harry and draco had finally tucked under the sheets, close enough when harry put his arm around the front of draco's and asked " would you do something for me ?"

Draco hummed.

" remind me to seize my moment tomorrow morning before it's too late " harry replied

Draco smiled knowingly " I will "

And then just before sleeping harry whispered " you're shit at lying by the way "

Draco smiled in his half Awaken state, knowing he got caught but for once, it didn't matter. For once, lying was worth it..

This one is new!! Btw sorry for delaying it. Here ya go, hope you like it. @flakeyakey

Single healers

" come on, get him in here" although it was deafening. He was probably losing his senses, his eyes opening and closing, blurring his vision. He couldn't really see the speaker but unconsciously sensed the urgency in their voice.

" and you're sure he wasn't bitten ?" The same voice asked again. Harry tried very hard to open his eyes and see who it was, but exhaustion was pulling him under and he was ready to sleep. Long sleep.

His breath was cutting short, his vision blackening, he was relaxed finally until someone started to lightly pat his cheeks.

" keep breathing, potter... Don't you dare give up right now " and that was the last thing he heard, only getting a slight peek of someone oddly familiar and with a nod, harry closed his eyes.

It was really exhausting to be where harry was right now but all he did really felt was the uncomfortable pillow, hurting his neck. In attempts to fix his pillow, he tried to move his arm until he realised they weren't exactly in a spectacular shape and he grimaced with pain.

" welcome back sweetie" he heard a sweet voice. Okay, there isn't any woman at Harry's home, so he opened his eyes.

" ouch " harry immediately shielded his eyes because of the intense light

" shut that light Karen, it's hurting his visuals" Someone said as they must've shut the door behind him.

Once the light was turned off, harry relaxed and opened his eyes again.

" wow, this is definitely not home " harry groaned

" well not if your home is a hospital potter" the guy in the white coat said. Harry couldn't see whoever it was, mostly because his back was turned to harry but also because he was very much leaned over onto the table that you couldn't see anything but his white coat, his black pants and nice black shoes, shining, and if harry wasn't wrong they were vintage, oh!!

" so how do you feel ?" The guy finally turned around

" I knew it, only you say my name that way " harry fisted his palm in a small victory.

"yeah, yeah very great achievement potter, now how do you feel ?" He asked

" well, for one, I can't feel my ass because of this bed, second, my arm is really sore, third my pillow isn't put right so it definitely is craning my neck too much that it hurts. And lastly my question how did I wound up here ?" Harry goes

" Karen please do the honours of adjusting thy majesty's pillow or he'd cry over it" the other man said as he poured some liquid carefull in a vial.

" now, to answer your question, I am not even slightly interested in how you wound up here, all I know is that you are here and I have to take care of you. Next, the beds are a bit uncomfortable, you'll get used to it in a bit and if not, I'll cast a cushioning spell and lastly, can you tell me exactly where your arm feels most sore ? And do the honours of actually telling me how you feel ?" He said as he walked towards harry, analysing the morning reports he received.

" still keeping the I am a prat attitude Malfoy, suits you " harry rolled his eyes, pointing above his elbow on the dorsal side.

" well the sodding insolent prat attitude suits you too potter " draco rolled his eyes as he lightly dabbed Harry's arm recieving a flinch.

" there's no such external injury here so I think that's a bruise. Think massage would do it " draco frowned to himself

" I feel a little dizzy by the way. Also there's a portion on my neck that is itching quite badly, can I scratch ?" Harry asked innocently.

Draco furrowed his eyebrows before helping harry sit upright and taking a look at the point of his itch.

" those are deep scratches. So no you can't scratch Over. Karen I thought all wounds were cleaned up "

" I did. It must've been because it's on his back I might've missed it. I'm sorry " she hurriedly Apologized

" that wouldn't really qualify you as a healer would It, now, next time don't make the same mistakes. Ms. Adelman across the room needs you by the way " draco said as he dipped some cotton in antiseptic potion and cleansed Harry's wound.

" it's burns ? " Draco asked

" a little " harry grimaced.

" I think you got that from the werewolf " draco whispered as he carefully studied for any bites.

" when will I be free ?" Harry asked impatiently.

" well at this pace not for another two weeks" draco replied as he pushed down his reading glasses and kept the files over the side table.

" no way. I'm not staying for 2 weeks. That's 14 days off work, I can't do that. I'm in the Middle of an important case and-"

" okay save it potter. You have to stay for 2 weeks and it ends there. Your friend Weasley will come by and explain you everything but under my watch, even if you're free you're not allowed to work"

" and who gives you the right?" Harry rolled his eyes frustratingly

" me. As your healer, it is my responsibility to make sure that you only resume when you're wounds are all healed up " draco huffed, annoyed by Harry's childish behaviour to just break free.

" and you think I'd listen to you ?" Harry narrowed his eyes in a glare at Draco.

Draco clenched his jaw before closing his eyes and continuing speaking " you are not going anywhere and that is it, you get me! And if you do try to get away, I will tie you up with shackles without a wand. Now if you're a chain eater or something like that then you'd be successful to break free otherwise not "

" whatever " harry rolled his eyes, again. If draco had one pet peeve, it was people rolling their eyes necessarily on his face and potter seemed to have a death wish.

" look " draco pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed " you don't understand the severity of your injuries. I understand your passion for work and all but not at the risk of health. If you must know you were attacked by a werewolf, the problem however is that we're not sure if you were bitten or not.. it might've been someone who bit you before full moon, basically not a werewolf then but there is a possibility that you're not bitten, the more likely one -"

" but if there's a bite, you should be able to see right ?"

" yes and no. The evolution of werewolves is allowing them to leave very little traces of bites these days which of course does not benefit them nor potentially harm the one bitten. The real reason why we can't figure whether you're bitten or not is because your back Is covered in scratches and if you can't feel them it's because of the numbing potion. And we're done talking. Drink this up quietly"

Harry looked at Draco strangely for a moment before taking the vial from his hand and bottomed up " can I work from here ?"

" no " and draco walked out.

And then it became a thing, harry constantly asking if he could work and draco constantly denying and threatening him that this time he'd definitely put him in shackles. And by the by, interactions between them did get pretty interesting every once in a while when Draco used to check him up late at night before leaving from work.

And one of these days harry shoot his shot "you pretty much always leave late, come early and stay here all day, so I should by now just assume that you're single "

" not that it's any of your business potter " draco absent-mindedly replied as he changed the bandages on Harry's back.

" ha- you didn't deny it. So you are single " harry exclaimed

" sit still "

" sorry "

" why do you care if I date or not ? My personal life Potter " draco said as he changed the bandages on the bottom right of Harry's back, amused for a moment of what he saw something going under his pants. It seemed like a mark, he didn't question it.

"I don't. Just curious " harry shrugged.

" well dearest curious George, I must assume that you're single too since nobody special visited you " draco said as he got up and lightly massaged Harry's sore arm from before. Harry relaxed in his touch before he continued the conversation

" I don't do Dating. Even if I do date someone, it's never about us or the dating in itself, it's just mostly to get into witch weekly or daily prophet under the chosen one's new beau sort of thing "

Draco almost pitied harry for never having found something but decided not to, since he obviously didn't need the pity.

"that sucks " draco hummed " does it hurt still ?" He pressed a little more firmly over the spot

" not much anymore " harry replied " what's your not dating excuse ?"

Draco etched a small smile especially for harry before he told him the truth " it's a bitter world for me out there. I think it's the same as you, you know just the opposite end. It's almost as if i- I'm still a death Eater and people still hate me for that "

Harry pressed his lips in a thin line, never having thought of it. He always thought it must've been easy for Draco to find Someone, with being attractive and working somewhere you're basically helping people all day but it came as a mild shock as it was opposite.

" whoever ends up with would be one lucky person though " harry complimented just in time draco stopped massaging and picked up the vials to give to harry.

" really ? What makes you say that ?" Draco smiled

" because I know you'd do anything to keep that person in your life no matter the cost. And I've seen the good in you, you're not all bad " and with that harry gulped the vial, missing out draco's blushing.

" I think whoever ends up with you would be a lucky one too then " draco said as he finished up aligning the empty vial bottles on a tray to take them away.

" and why's that ?" Harry smiled

" because- it's just you. You're different and you're nice.. think you'd always keep them happy and safe if it were your life on stake. That's just you " draco complimented smiling at harry.

Not as capable as draco, harry turned pink from the compliment " that's nice of you "

Draco should not have been mesmerized but unfortunately he was and it should've been a mistake, but he liked it. And he knew harry enjoyed gazing at him too but the moment Only lasted so long and draco broke free before he could've lost control.

" I should go. Goodnight. Take care " and he left the room.

The next morning draco returned to his room, the first thing he saw was an empty bed until he harry walked in, shirtless.

" y- you can walk " draco said

" yeah. I can " harry smiled.

Gaining his composure back, Draco resumed " and you cleaned up nice, with all the Shaving "

" I figured I'll be leaving in 3 days so better get used to it again " harry replied

Draco stared at harry dumb folded " oh, right, yeah, 3 days "

" so " draco pouted " does it hurt anywhere? Need of change in bandages ? Or anything else?"

" no, I think I'm fine " harry placed his hand over his hips, frowning.

" well, alright then. I'll be going. I'll be checking in on you at the end of the day like a normal healer. Goodbye potter " and he practically ran before his heart might've fell out of his chest, metaphorically ofcourse.

The rest of the day draco got so busy that when the night came, he couldn't visit harry again even if he desperately wanted to but he was so exhausted that he could Barely walk and so by the recommendation of the work counsellor, he got sent off.

The first he did next day was visit harry, who to his surprise was sleeping. So like a normal healer, he checked his bottled of vial, his normal medicines and the bruises and left. When the night came, harry was swamped with his friends that draco couldn't had stayed for more than professional purpose. The next day again when he visited harry, he was tiredly sleeping. Defeated, draco worked all day until again at the end of the night he visited harry to see him sitting with all the files.

" working?" Draco asked as he place his files over the side table and started checking Harry's injuries, which were now almost healed.

" yeah. Filling in for what I missed while being here " harry sighed.

Draco scrunched his eyebrows looking at Harry he retrieved his hands and asked him " do you really enjoy your work though? Like putting your life on line and working immensely over something so exhausting ?"

" do you enjoy your work ?" Harry huffed

" I do. I very much do. It's tiring sometimes yes but I like what I do. It makes me feel nice About myself. Is it the same for you ?"

Harry huffed pushing away the files before Pouring our reality " to tell you the truth, I don't enjoy work. It was all fun in the beginning, the chase and run but now it just seems as if that's all I've been doing my whole life. Running after the bad guys but then that's exactly what everyone expects of me and I can't let them down. So I do exactly what I've been doing, the right thing "

Draco amusingly watched him, as if it was fun story, only it wasn't " my mom always used to say, much before anyone else's you're your own. There's no point in living your life the way people expects. I think they must've have had enough of that already. There's nothing new in the potter magazine you know, the chosen one after the bad guy. Life's too short for the same title harry "

" hey, you called me harry " harry pointed out grinning

" don't I deserve to at least call you by your name after taking care of your lame ass for 2 weeks " draco chuckled.

Harry chuckled " you deserve it, draco "

And draco smiled.

The next morning when harry was finally ready to depart with no ill effects or presence of lycanthropy, he waited until he see'd off draco..

" and I thought I'd almost miss your departure " draco heaved, breathing in harshly..

" nah, I wouldn't had let that happen " harry chuckled..

When Draco finally had his air back he leaned upright looking at harry " it was nice having you here "

" it was nice being here " harry smiled

" so, I guess, I'll see you around then ?" Draco asked awkwardly.

" right, yeah, of course " harry rambled.

" cool then " draco pressed his lips in a thin line, pushing his hands in his coat pocket.

" alright then. Bye " harry hesitated

" oh. Yeah..bye. see you again probably " draco replied

" yeah, might. Bye then "

" bye " and then finally harry stepped back one by one until he reached the door handle and turned around to walk out.

" fuck it " harry whispered under his breath and walked back to draco

" something wrong ?" Draco asked

" you. I don't care how stupid I might sound, but I like you, like I really really like you and I haven't felt his way for someone in a long time and I don't want to blow this away. So draco malfoy would you maybe want to go out with me someday even if I'm a complete insolent prat-"

" okay, yeah "draco grinned

" and I've got attitude problem and you possibly don't feel the same- wait- you said yes?" Harry rambled

" yep. I said yes " draco chuckled.

" oh. Then I'll definitely see you. Outside leaky cauldron, at 7 "

" you definitely will " draco smiled

" okay then" harry grinned as he started walking back again.

" okay "

" okay " harry bit his lip.

" I like you too by the way " draco chuckled

" I really have to go.. but it's good to know " harry chuckled..

" okay " and then harry finally left, after dancing in victory of course.

Would you come back to me ? Part 3

Thanks for all the support on this one, you people are incredible. I've tried my best to make it as perfect as possible. This is the last part and my heart buries with it. | ANGST | FLUFF | CONFESSIONS |

" But when the tides reaches a high, they are meant to go down and crash onto the surface and when the time came, they crashed. They crashed like the biggest tides in the world to cast a holocaust over anyone who found a way "

" you still have it ?" Draco asked, his fingers wavering over the rough sketch he made years ago of harry himself.

" yeah, its just nice " harry replied turning to work again

draco scrunched his eyebrows, never having thought harry would have kept something like that from years ago, assuming he had really just forgotten about them but then again, it might've been because he simply just liked it and wanted to keep it.

" i still do drawings by the way, i've done plenty of scorpius " draco cleared his throat as he sat back down again

" i'm sure they must be great then " harry offered a small smile before fetching the tea for both of them and passing one cup over to draco.

" oh yeah " Draco bobbed his head as he picked up the tea from the saucer and slowly started drinking it.

" that's a nice picture of you and Ginny " Draco pointed to the small frame kept over the fireplace.

" oh, yeah, it's back from when we weren't dating " Harry replied as he too awkwardly drank his own tea, his mind going places.

" you guys looked good together. Even on the wedding "

" but you never came to the wedding " Harry furrowed his eyebrows.

" yeah- I- uh- I didn't. I saw the pictures though " Draco stuttered..

" why did you guys broke up, separated that is anyways ?" Draco asked curiously as he leaned over onto the table.

" well " Harry sighed as he held the cup still in his hand, enjoying the warmth it provided " when we first got together, we thought we know what we were doing. It was all good and games and fun but then we both got burdened into responsibilities. I liked working for DMLE but I had to quit because of the coming baby, Ginny's safety and everything. Then there was one thing after another. If you ask both of us right now, we'd probably you know just say that we don't think we thought all this through, but then there were so many- what do you call that word ?" Harry scrunched his face, his finger in the air as he thought for the Apt word.

" expectations ?" Draco asked

" yes. Exactly " Harry said a little too loudly.

" I know what you mean " draco said as he looked down into his empty cup..

Harry sighed, watching Draco. Expectations was one thing that had possibly ruined everything good ironically in both their lives and neither was aware of how. In the time harry started spending with Draco again, he can feel himself smiling late at night before sleeping, his heart hammering against his chest like right now and the eagerness to see him again, it was all the same like before. The rush, the energy, the spark, but only this time they weren't hormonal teenagers and harry was almost sure he didn't wanted to go down that road again.

" well, It's getting pretty dark. I should go, I mean we should go " Draco abruptly stood up, almost falling behind.

" bu- but scorpius is still sleeping ?" Harry frowned.

" he's not a heavy sleeper. Besides I don't have to wake him up to go all the way back. It's like a minute travel so.."

" well- If that's what it is. I'll see you again, whenever these kids want to meet up then" Harry clapped his hands together, quietly before placing them over his hips.

" absolutely " Draco awkwardly replied and walked into the living room.

" right, see you then" Draco finally said after he had picked up scorpius.

" okay. See you soon " Harry replied and Draco flooed back to his place..

Harry finally released the breath he hadn't know was consuming his down, in relief, or so he assumed.

___________________________

" please, I beg you. Can't you do that for a friend " albus practically begged

" I'm telling you albus, I don't know who it was " Ron pestered as he walked with him to Harry's restaurant bar.

" please uncle Ron. I have some really nice chocolates from Chicago, I'll give you it " albus bribed

" o- what? You're not actually bribing me and if you are, you're forgetting, your mom bought those chocolates and she's my sister. So I already have them- Aha " Ron exclaimed

" uncle Ron please. It's really important. Don't you want to see dad happy ?" Albus tried the emotional manipulation.

Ron sighed, stopping in between and leaning down to be on eye level with him " there's one thing you should know albus, I love how you're determined to know who was his first love but it's not my place to tell. Harry and I have been through so much and I've sworn to his secrecy and I'll never give it up, even if someone have to kill me for it. But you should know, there's nothing you can do to bring him back. Harry moved on ages ago and some stories are better buried, alright. I can't see him that crushed again. Do you understand me ?"

Albus sighed, nodding.

" was he really that hurt ?"

" the worst I had ever seen him. He wasn't himself for days. He didn't write back properly over summer, he didn't talk about it. He never did after that. But Remember this, first love stings bad and it was soul crushing for him. And I'm sure you don't ever want to see him like that "

" I just don't get it, why didn't he go back to him after the war and Everything ?" Albus asked as the continued walking

" he did, I think. He never told me what happened that day but I just knew it was over " Ron shook his head. Albus looked up at Ron, sort of respectfully like he had never seen before, mainly because of how great of a friend he was but sort of disappointed that he'd never find out who he loved.

" thanks for dropping him by. It's just been such a busy day and everything" Harry huffed as he wiped off his hands with a tissue and disposing it off, when they entered.

" it's no problem... Although he did seem pretty interested in your ex love life " Ron smirked

" what, I swore to his secrecy. Not yours "

" whatever. You're not such a great uncle " albus rolled his eyes at him and walked through the back doors.

" he does seem pretty interested, doesn't he ?" Harry asked as he leaned over on the counter

" he does. Although I think it's about time he must've been and what do you know, he's not even wrong "

" what do you mean ?" Harry asked completely losing track as of how albus was infact right.

" I mean- look I just look out for you and he's not wrong to want to see you happy again. And I'm sure his ways are a bit out of the box but maybe you should get back into the dating thing you know. And I do know who you're hanging out with recently. I- just think, maybe a second time won't be so bad " Ron shrugged suggestively

Harry blinked, probably out of slight frustration " I appreciate this Ron but I'm fine by myself and I am not going to date him again. Those feelings are in the past, I don't feel for him the same way whatsoever and if that even be, he's in a very different place and I am pretty sure he isn't looking for anything that sort, so you and everyone else can Shut up about going back to him. It's over, he's moved on and so have I "

Ron disappointedly nodded " well I tried. I'm gonna go then?"

" I don't mean to be mad but lately albus is just pestering me so much. Ginny hasn't been such a sweetie about it either and I'm just tired of hearing it you know and you understand me right, I just need some space from all this " Harry sighed

" mate, you don't have to explain to me. Of course I understand you " Ron patted Harry's shoulder before giving it a light squeeze and letting it go when it came for him to leave.

" I'll see you then " harry said one last time

" yeah " and Ron was almost out of the door when he turned around like everyone else lately.

" Harry?"

" yeah ?" Harry raised his eyebrows

" are you sure you've moved on ? Because it doesn't seem like it "

Harry opened his mouth to say something but couldn't. The truth was, did he really knew the answer to it, he didn't know. It was easier not to be sure sometimes but it did gave him sleepless nights.

" maybe second time won't be so bad. Just something to think about " and with that he exited. Harry sighed, pushing his hair back out of his face.

Maybe second won't be so bad after all, but did he really wanted to have a second time, he didn't know.

______________________________

2 months later of meeting every weekend without denial, Harry was set to light himself on fire. Metaphorically. It was hard to resist Draco after one point. How could have Harry possibly thought that he won't feel this way again, when this was Draco he was talking about. How could had Harry possibly overseen that Draco was the most handsome, the most intellectual, the most kind, the most interesting, the most understanding, the most likable, the most pleasant, the most elegant, the most perfect in every solicited book to ever exist.

Not Only did it make him awkward but left him excited for every meet. Layer by layer, Draco was shedding off his walls, just like all those years ago and it was becoming incredibly hard to not ruin everything by saying the wrong thing. The problem was, Harry remained in denial of the fact. Either he was trying to cage his heart from all wars or he was trying to refuse himself of being capable of establishing those feelings again.

And the invite didn't help either.

" so pansy is keeping a divorce party then ?"

" yep and I have an extra invite, so maybe if you wanted, you can come along ?" Draco shrugged

And there goes his heart.

" uh sure "

And so 2 weeks later Harry found himself dressed up for pansy's divorce party. And when he reached, of course he should've known, he was going to get crushed. Not Only Harry was left alone to drink alone at the bar but also watched Draco get hit on by a girl somewhere far across him, forcing him to drown into his memories.

" you said you wanted to meet me ?" Harry asked as he went by and sat down next to Draco on the astronomy tower.

" wanted to see you off last time before we went other ways " Draco offered him a small smile

Harry understandably nodded looking forward at the view of the mountain's covered in lush green forest and darkness of 1 am.

They remained silent, letting themselves get soaked in the last moments spent on the top as the stars met the moon and howling of the wind added to their chronicle of moments. It was strange how relaxing it was to be there in each other's presence. He wanted to hold Draco's hands, spread warmth to him but then he knew, they were the past. How it was officially ruined what they had..

" what are you going to do after school ?" Draco asked finally

" i have absolutely no idea " Harry shrugged

" you ?"

" no idea " Draco replied.

Harry looked at Draco. Looking would be an understatement, he was memorising him, again. Moments like these didn't happen often anymore and while it lasted Harry wanted to memorise everything he possibly could. Everything without a reason, until he had one.

" I'm getting engaged " Draco announced

And there it was, the crash. The harmony of music that played in Harry's life took the unexpected sad turn with heavy intense climax. The violins grew much more intense, the piano grew soft, the cello became sweet. And everything, crushed his insides. It was the incapability of his humane body to produce any reaction. But the adrenaline jumped up, his breath became stuck as his heart beat louder against his chest, how his fingers twitched and lastly how he fought tears.

" who is it ?"

" Astoria " he replied.

Harry nodded " I'm happy for you then "

" are you really ?" Draco asked finally looking at his previous love.

" I am " Harry didn't dare to look at him. He couldn't. They didn't talk anymore. They sat for another hour in silence watching the moon shift it's position, the wind blowing the leaves away, the star twinkling brighter and Harry's heart falling in a deep pit.

When it was finally time to leave, Draco got up " you're not going to come ?"

" I'll stay here for a while, you go ahead "

And only with a nod when Draco left, Harry buried his face in his hand and let himself cry in the agony of losing the only person who bought out the best in him. He sat there crying, weeping in his hand, no one to cry with, no one to tell to, no one who'd understand. In the whole wide world, Harry felt alone but then again that's what he was, his whole life. Alone.

Broken once, Harry didn't wait for his heart to be crushed twice. He let himself drown into the understanding that he was all alone and let himself get carried away in the night until he had no more of him left to give and decided to leave.

He had only made it past the door when he heard Footsteps running behind him.

" Harry ?"

" what ?" Harry asked as he turned around

" you're leaving ?" He asked

" seems like it " Harry frowned

" without telling me ?" Draco asked

Harry could've simply lied but there he stood, having absolutely no idea how Harry had felt his whole life. How he wasted away wondering what Would've happened if he had ran back to Draco the moment he left him, how that night on the tower if Harry had told him how he felt. If.

" yes "

" why ?"

" because it hurts less"

Draco frowned.

" it hurts less when you don't know. When something's are better left unsaid "

And Draco finally realised.

" you said you were happy for me ?"

" was I ? Were you when I married Ginny ? I know you came to the wedding, I saw you, you know why, because in a crowd of thousands I still find you but you never came in. You saw me on the altar and left and never came back "

" what was I supposed to do? Come in and congratulate you ?"

" I did Draco. I came and congratulated you. I sat through your entire wedding, hurting myself seeing you getting married "

" and you didn't try to stop it "

" because you wanted it "

" why didn't you fight for me then ? Why didn't you come back ?" Draco asked, his voice crackling

" why didn't you ?" Harry repeated.

But Draco didn't answer, and Harry walked away. His heart heavy, again, by the same person. It was ironic how you can be so Madly in love with someone but more than often they are exactly the same person who hurts you, because that's love. Love is a wonder. Love is a cure. Love is symphony to music but love is pain. It always has been and will always be.

Harry drowned himself in his miseries that night, spending countless moments reading notes he got from Draco ages ago, drinking away his pain in wine, smiling at the presents Draco has given him. There was only a question of why. Why couldn't Harry move on ? It was so many years ago, he had been in love after that, he had dated people after that, he had been married after that but why was it he still loved the only man who caused him the most pain?

Meanwhile Draco cried himself to sleep, crying for how the day he told Harry he's getting engaged, he had cried before Harry had came and how he had cried right outside the astronomy tower in the pain of losing him. Crying because he knew he gave up too soon. Crying because how much he still loved Harry. Why couldn't he move on ? He'd have had a life after him yet all his life has been meaningless without him. If they say love only happens once, then for him it happened and it have lasted ages. He was desperate to move on but every night he thought to himself why couldn't he ? Had been years he saw him last but still love him. Why ?

But when the tides reaches a high, they are meant to go down and crash onto the surface and when the time came, they crashed. They crashed like the biggest tides in the world to cast a holocaust over anyone who found way.

Draco showed up at Harry's Footsteps with a beer in his hand, his clothes wet from the rain, his body shivering, and his eyes all red.

" what are you doing here Draco ? It's bloody cold outside, get in " Harry urgently said.

" no " Draco commanded

" what ? Let me get an umbrella then , you're soaked-"

" why didn't you fight for me ? Why didn't you keep the promise ? Why didn't you try to stop my wedding ? Why didn't you contacted me all these years ? Why didn't you ever write to me ? Why didn't you come back for me Harry, you promised you would " Draco sobbed

" Draco, this isn't the time. Just come inside and we'll talk this over later-"

" no, I need the Answers. Why didn't you come back for me like you said you would ?"

" Draco, you're soaking wet-"

" answer me harry !! Why didn't you ?" Draco yelled

" why Harry, why ? It have haunted me all these years and I want answers today because If I don't get them now, I never will " he cried, pushing his hair out of his face.

Harry stepped out of the door, decreasing the distance between both of them.

" why didn't you ? Why didn't you keep the promise ?" Harry asked

" Because you moved on, you moron " Draco agitatedly said, taking a few steps backwards

" I didn't. I never did " Harry outrageously replied

" oh really ? Because from what I remember you dated Ginny in 6th year "

" because I was hung up on you. And she knew it. It was spontaneous. I wanted to come back for you but you had done exactly everything that would've ripped you apart from me. I came back for you that night on the tower but you had moved on, you were getting engaged "

" and you never asked if I wanted it ? You selfish prat. I never wanted to get married. I never wanted to have that life but you just never came back for Me, fought for me. You never did. You went on, you moved on. You lived happily when I got stuck with a forced marriage "

" happy ? I have spent my life loving you Draco. Merlin knows why but I have wasted away in loving you knowing you'd never come back-"

" you never came back for me either"

" I did. Don't you dare blame it on me !! I came back for you when the war was over like I promised but it was you who kept pushing me away, getting on with Astoria. You promised me too that after everything was over, you'd come back to me but you didn't and I waited and guess what you never did. I had to force myself to move on. Be what people expected me to be and even if I did fight or would've wanted to fight, you'd had never done that "

" then why didn't you ask me ? Why didn't you-"

" because I couldn't. You looked happy " Harry yelled.

"I wasn't. I never was. How could you even think that ? Actually How the fuck would you even know that !! I was forced into a marriage with Someone who had a dying wish. You said I didn't fight, here I did fight, but I lost over and over again because you weren't by my side. Why would you know what it was like to be a death eater and being gay, my family hated me, the world hated me, Merlins sake I got death threat's !! I was on the losing side harry, always. I never thought you'd make it through the war, I was forced to move on because nobody would've accepted me. When I went to jail, I didn't thought I'd ever come back. I wanted to fight but you were the one who gave up. If you had struck with me for a little while I would've fought my entire life for you but you didn't stay. You have no idea what it felt like seeing you and Ginny in 6th year, it seemed you moved on and I had no one, not even a single fucking one. When I needed you the most, you were not there because you're a self righteous selfish prat. So there you go. I was not happy because Harry James potter you have ruined my life " draco smashed the beer bottle on the ground.

" then who's it to blame ? You gave up too Draco. You gave up very soon-"

" because you made me harry. You made me give up on you, on us "

" and I waited for you.. I waited years after the war for you to realise one day that I'm still in fucking love with you. If that day you hadn't said you were getting engaged Draco,I would've begged you on my knees to take me back.. do you even know how long I cried about it. Forced into a marriage right ? I was forced to watch Someone I loved whole heartedly marrying Someone else and I stayed, you didn't even stayed until the end of my wedding -"

" because I regretted it. There, that's what you want to hear right. I regret it Harry . I regret every decision I made. I regret I didn't fight for you, I regret that I never came back to you, I regret I broke the promise but you're no Saint Harry, if you hadn't moved on or made it seem like you did , I wouldn't had done anything like that. I regret giving us up. There, I've regretted my whole and I regret this very moment but I can't not sleep another night because I can't stop thinking about how the fuck you've hurt me so badly yet here I stand,still in love with you as much as I was the day you left me. You looked after yourself and other's, but you left me, you left me first Harry "

" you've ruined my life and yet I can't hate you " Draco cried in self destruction. Secrets he had held onto for so long, evaporated in the water's pouring down. His tears were running faster than the rain coming down on both of them. What love really is, it's pain.

Harry remained awestruck trying to figure out how to respond, to consume the secrets he had spilled, to reciprocate whatever he had said, understand that he too was to blame but it was too late and Draco was walking away. Too late. Too late.

And harry ran after him. He have wasted away himself in hopes that one day when the time will be right, he'd go back to him like he has promised on the day by the lake and if today was going to be that day, he wasn't putting it in vain " Draco wait "

" what ?" Draco asked exhaustingly wiping off his face.

" you're annoying and you're brilliant. You promised me you'd come back and you didn't, instead you got hitched and I did the same And we're terrible but I've lost you once and I can't do this again. You've ruined my life in worst ways possible but If that what it is, I want to ruin it. You're right, I'm a self Righteous selfish prat and I should've stayed by you, I should've never made it seem as if I had moved on but I too was hurting Draco because somewhere deep down I might've known you'd never come back but right now all I know is that one time my boyfriend told me to seize the day if I had to chance, and when I asked him when would I know to seize it, he told me I'll just know it and Draco today I know it. I'm sorry I didn't stop your wedding like that stupid romantic movies or I didn't tell you how much I loved you or how much I wanted you back when I should've and I've made those mistakes but not today. I've come soo far but I still seek you,I always will Draco. You are my sadness and you are my happiness, because-you and I, it's everything for me and I can't stand that I let you walk away, once again. I can't. I- just can't"

" you're a moron, you know that " Draco asked as he walked nearer Harry

" and you are too "

" and we're terrible at keeping promises "

" we are "

" but I've loved you. I still do "

" I do too "

And there no more left to say but do.. Draco kissed harry, again, years later and it still felt the same. It still gave him the sparks, it still made him feel like he was the brightest star, it still made him feel those butterflies in Stomach, it still made him feel like he'd live forever, it still made him feel like he didn't need the oxygen to breathe but needed Only him, it still made him feel like he was floating, it still made him feel. Everything was the same, yet everything was different. Harry was kissing him with Newfound regret and passion of being apart all these years, with the excitement of being able to do it again but the Romance had never left. It still left their hearts pounding, it still made them stand on their tiptoes to kiss, it still made them feel loved. And they did pour the love mixed with rain, finding in their perfect moment that they had been each other's ever since no matter what changed. No matter how many wars happened, or how many tragedies happened, They will possibly forever be each others and they were fine with it, after all if destiny was a thing, they were always destined to be together.

The next morning, Harry only woke up with a bed side note.

" would you come back to me ? Again ?"

" Draco, it's supposed to be will " Harry smiled as he looked at the man of his dreams standing on the doorway, with a cup of coffee in his hand

" it's would because that's my past asking you to come back. That notes from 8th year me "

" then the 8th year me would want to come back to you " Harry chuckled as he stood up and hugged his new beau.

" I've missed you " Draco kissed the top of his head, his one arm dangling Around Harry's waist.

" I still think it should be will "

" moron "

Lemme go cry in peace now. The best I could do. I have to say, this has been my favourite work of all time and I couldn't leave it with a sad note, it didn't make sense. There's probably loopholes btw. Happy reading.. and thank you for supporting through it all.

Cross my heart

For @drarrymicrofic prompt : curiosity | manipulation| why do you only love me when I'm someone else's ? |

" you're back, again ?" Draco Whispers as he wandered in the library, Harry following him.

" and you know why" harry replies, placing the books in shelf just like him.

" Harry, I'm happy now. James makes me happy. There's nothing wrong with him, not this time alright. He's not like others " Draco sighs tilting his head at harry.

" he's not me "

Draco closes his eyes, there was his revelation once again " why do you only love me when someone loves me too ? " he asked in dead curiosity

" you don't miss something unless you don't have it Draco "

" I'm not falling for it again. You do this everytime and I will not fall for this again. You come here each time I get with someone new, tell me you love, sabotage my nice relationship and then you end up with another one of yours flings. I'm not falling for it. Not this time "

" I haven't seen anyone in weeks and you know it " Harry shrugged

" Harry, no " Draco refuses in hesitation. He never feared anything more than death but when it's Harry, he feared love. He fears that he'll fall and harry would fall out. It happens each time. Draco ruins his so called relationships to give harry another chance but only end up with a broken heart of a man who loved him, then didn't.

" I'm going to go " Draco sighed and walked away to the reception of the library, issuing another book.

" you're Draco ?" The lady asked

" I am, why ?" He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion

" someone left it for you. He told me to give it to you " she said as she handed him the book.

He unwraps the book and immediately broke into a smile " the rainbow fish "

" I remember you told me 5 years ago on your mother's funeral how she used to read it to you every night before Hogwarts and you loved it equally each day "

Draco rolled his eyes turning around to see Harry leaning over one of the bookshelf with a clever smile on his face " does James know that ?"

" promise me this time it's just you and me, that's it ? That this time you won't fall out, that this time if I give you a chance, you'll commit to it ? "

" cross my heart " Harry grinned.

" I'll break off with James. Meet me at my place at 8. Don't be late. If You're late, I'll never talk to you again. I challenge you to prove me wrong "

" challenge accepted "

And Draco walked off smirking to himself, knowing he had finally won.

Love in daydream

For @drarrymicrofic prompt: thought

" do you think if you were a Slytherin you'd win the war ?"

" is that supposed to mean that Slytherin loses ?"

" mostly, yes. It's like the evil house sort of thing isn't it. I mean at Least that's what people say "

He gazed into the horizon of the drowning sun embroidering the redness like silk over the still water " it's evil that always loses Draco. And Slytherin is not about losing "

Draco shook his head smiling " you're quite smart, you know that ?"

" yeah I do " Harry chuckled jokingly, longingly staring at Draco. It was in those moments when he'd stare at draco he'd stare back that the time would relinquish. Those were the times when he'd remind himself that there was no finer art in the world than the malfoy boy himself, that there was no one he'd hold hands with but him, that there was no one he'd share a drowning sun to meet the night but him.

" don't look at me like that" draco whispered biting his lip

" like what ?"

" like you could love me "

In all unconsciousness, in his day dreams, in his thoughts, Draco was his and harry was his. But then again that's what it was, love in unconsciousness, love only in the heart not on the lips.

42. Little things

Prompt used- giving piggy back ride | FLUFF | DOMESTIC | Draco finally asks Harry to move in with him |

" I don't know why do I have to do this " Harry groaned as he kneeled down to let Draco up on his back

" because you lost a bet. You said I couldn't eat 30 pancakes within an hour and I proved you wrong. Now the consequences may or May not have been different but since you lost a bet and you'd do anything I tell you for a week, give me a piggy back ride now "

" I hate you " Harry rolled his eyes, getting hold of Draco as he leaned up on his back

" aw, I love you too honey. Besides today's the last day, so you're going to be off the hook " Draco gave him a witty smile before hooking his arms around Harry's neck and resting his head into his neck, kissing the spot softly.

" well I absolutely had no idea that you had a stomach as that of hagrid " Harry said out of breath as he started climbing up the stairs, as a part of the lost bet

" shut up " he playfully swatted Harry's hand before clinging more closely to harry.

" you have the bags right ?" Harry asked.

" is it bad I levicorpused it ?" Draco asked innocently

" I live in a Muggle building Draco, will you at least try to be subtle about it "

" I am subtle. It's not my problem that you love living in a place where you have to fix your cupboards once every week "

" so it's screw's are a little weak. I got them changed last week " Harry Replied as he Bounced Draco up a little

" well anyways, they still keep falling off. I don't like making breakfast for you when it keeps falling on me almost half the time " Draco sighed into his neck

" Draco, honey, I love you but you have never cooked breakfast for me "

" hey, my lunch is my breakfast "

" and I can surely see that "

" you promised you'd love my body no matter what " Draco rolled his eyes

" I promised to love you, not your unhealthy eating habits " Harry groaned as he started fetching for his keys in his pockets.

" hello Mrs. Adelman " Harry suddenly said as he greeted his neighbour.

" hello, dear. You too Draco. Still keeping him on the bet ?" She asked humourously as he locked her door

" a man's got to do what he got to do " draco shrugged.

With a soft laugh, Mrs. Adelman left them alone

" can't believe she likes you more " Harry said as he kicked open the door.

" well If you'd talk baking with her, I'm sure she'd love you too " Draco replied as he jumped off his back and placed the bags on the kitchen table.

" but I suck at it "

" because you never tried it you idiot "

" you're forgetting, I did try, remember that day before Ron's birthday, I tried to bake a cake for him and it resulted in a disaster " Harry's Voice echoed as he looked into the fridge, fetching some cold water bottles.

" and I wonder who do you love more" Draco humoured as he caught the bottle Harry threw at him

" that's not even a question" Harry said as he walked by Draco into the living room.

" hey, you're staying at my place tonight, isn't it?" Draco asked

Harry threw his head back a little in forgotten promise " I'm so sorry, I can't. I have a bunch of office stuff lined up to complete. I still have that unpacking to do from our trip, Then there's laundry and I stayed at your place for three days just a day before yesterday and the cleaning charm Only works so good "

" but you said you would " Draco raised his shoulder for emphasis

" I know I did love, but I have to complete my work. Here's a thing, why don't you stay over ?"

" you think you're the only one with work huh? I have to read like 20 articles to finish up my study on the potion and write a letter to the ministry and - there's just work "Draco replied as he pushed back a small part of his hair behind his ear

" well then, I guess it's clear. We'll stay at our own places today " Harry waved his hand in a small motion with a shrug

" but I like it when you're over at my place " Draco whined

" I know, I do too babe but you understand the work right " Harry gave him a small smile before he pressed a chaste kiss over his forehead.

Draco hummed in approval, wrapping his arms Around Harry for a moment before letting go.

" I'll see you tomorrow then ?" Harry asked

" mhm, yeah " Draco forced a little smile, kissing harry then letting go of his boyfriend.

Draco was about to walk out of his flat when a strange idea struck his head " unless .."

" unless you help me with my things ?"

" what- no!! I love you but you do your shit in your own "

" you're no fun " Harry rolled his eyes

" i am fun and you know it " Draco glared at him.

" anyways that's besides the point. What if you work at my place ?" Draco suggested

" but then I'd have to do back and forth if I needed something " Harry frowned

" yes,but what if you had all your things there ? And you could even unpack there ?" Draco suggested raising his eyebrows expectedly.

" but then I'd have to back and fourth every morning and then all my things would be there and it would only increase my work " Harry scrunched his face in visible confusion

Draco widened his eyes at the dumbness of the man he chose to love " yes but if all your things would be there ,you wouldn't had to back and forth ?"

" but then-"

" oh for fucks sake, Harry I'm asking you to move on with me you daft idiot "

" but why-"

" you know what, nevermind I asked-"

" I'm only playing with you " Harry laughed pulling Draco closer to him and cupping his face to kiss him " of course I'd move in with you. About time you asked me to "

" well I don't understand why do I have to be the one to take the bigger steps ?" Draco rolled his eyes, his face still squished betweens Harry's hands.

" because my beloved, I take the smaller steps. Like doing your shopping, your Grocery shopping, your clothing shopping with you, reminding you of your letters, reminding you to wish people and you like being the bigger responsible one in this relationship " Harry grinned, admiring his Beautiful of a boyfriend

" well that is true " Draco nodded approvingly " so you will ?"

" of course Draco. I'd love to move in with you and wreck your place and now you can't unmove me " Harry pointed a finger at him in a playful threat

" should've thought of that before " Draco whispered under his breath before smiling at his boyfriend knowing despite everything he loved Harry wholeheartedly till the end of the world.

" now off you go, I'll meet you tomorrow. I've got shit to do " Harry pushed Draco a Little more towards the door.

" wow, I am so excited to move in with you" Draco sarcastically said as he leaned down to kiss Harry over his cheeks.

" I am too, now go and create space for me to move in "

" I can't wait " Draco smiled and then Harry finally pushed him out of the door

" I love you " Harry said

" love you too " and finally Harry shut the door, smiling to himself, excited for the new step in his relationship.

This is a very plain fluff but I hope you liked it

TW ⚠️- BLOOD MENTION, SUICIDE ATTEMPT

" you are too young to take the case Harry " Kingsley sighed

" Mr. Shackebolt I'd rather be thrown out of the trial for being too young than not to try to save a kid that I know is absolutely innocent "

" you don't know that Harry-"

" but I do. I know he is innocent and I believe him" Harry snapped.

" Harry, ministry doesn't work on belief system. Even if I try to persuade the ministry, he will still be a death eater-"

" one that he was forced to become. Mr. Shackebolt, I beg you. Please "

Shackebolt shut off his eyes for a moment, sighing before he let out the words of wisdom " I will try "

" that's all I need " and Harry walked out of his office, hardly making through the stampede of people.

It took him almost a week to finally get Draco's under him, with limitations that he would be under supervision.

" any of evidence's found ?" Harry asked as he sat down in the swamp of files and books relating to the case, for defense.

" we went through his things and this was all that we could find. Nothing relevant. Just a couple of notes, hate letters and school thing's" the auror distastefully said

" leave me all of it and kindly leave the room " Harry Replied with much resilience not to snap at him.

The auror walked out of the room rather disappointed or with expression full of hatred. It wasn't such a surprise to him anymore. Ever since the news flooded out he wanted to speak against the defense for the malfoy family, he's gotten support and hatred both but mostly severely judged. And harry tried his best to not let it effect him.

He went through most of the hate letters he received from a ton of people he actually knew back from school, a lot of people who helped him during the war. To say he wasn't surprised by the immaturity of people to hate on death eaters without giving them a chance to defend themselves. Some of the letters were so harsh that Harry had to practically incendio them but it wasn't of any use knowing letters to Draco were already read. Spending almost 3 hours in the room, he got fed up of Reading letter and Decided to go out. He was about to even walk out of the ministry when he passed by the juvenile prisoners and decided to pay Draco a visit to have a one to one conversation with him to know if he could be of any use.

" visitor to Draco malfoy" Harry told the man behind the desk who almost became Shocked to death quite literally at seeing Harry. Again, not such a surprising thing anymore.

" Draco malfoy, sir "

" right, right, of course. You have the permission ?" He asked

" I - I don't but I know Kingsley shacklebolt, I can get him to get me in " Harry almost threateningly said

" th- that won't be required. Cell no. 21" the man almost mewled and gave Harry the key to the cell.

Rolling his eyes, Harry walked off to Draco's cell not knowing exactly why he was paying him a visit or what exactly was he going to say when he meets Draco.

But it wasn't required because when he reached the cell, it was completely dark with Only someone lying in the corner. Assuming he must be sleeping, Harry almost walked until he didn't feel Right and walked into the cell, finding him too limp to move. Harry kneeled down to Draco's eye level but they were shut closed.

" Malfoy, hey, can you hear me ?" Harry slapped Draco's cheeks lightly to bring him into consciousness.

" hey, Draco. What's wron- holy fuck " Harry immediately gasped as his eyes fell upon the blood oozing out from his wrist.

Panting heavily in panic, Harry pushed away his sleeves to reveal multiple cuts down his wrist, losing blood more than usual.

" help, I need someone in here. A medic " Harry yelled loudly for someone to at least hear his faint voice if possible.

" Draco I need you to look at me, come on. Wake up " Harry heavily rasped as his voice started to break down in the fear of holding someone innocent who might be dead.

He placed his fingers on Draco's neck meeting with only faint heartbeat.

" please, Just. Don't give up. I'm gonna get you out of here " Harry whimpered. He tore a part of his shirt and tied around his wrist and without procrastinating picked Draco up in his arms.

With much difficulty and almost out of breath, Harry finally reached the key holder.

" I need you to call st. Mungo's right now" he shouted at the man before running forward out of the cells.

He was almost out when he caught attention of just the person he needed.

" what's wrong with him?" Mr. Shackebolt asked in deadening shock

" attempt to suicide possibly. He's still alive. We need to get him to the hospital right now" he hadn't even realised how hurriedly and loudly he was talking until he realised he had even gather unwanted attention.

" we must not apparate harry. There's a medic car right out. We'll take that "

And harry nodded following him to the car.

__________________________

Draco opened his eyes to the room he immediately hated to be in.

" please let it be hell " Draco whispered under his breath

" you'd wish that wouldn't you ?" Someone asked. Draco roamed his eyes around the room to find a dark figured revealing itself.

" kind of was hoping that " Draco replied as he tried to get up but was met with help immediately, realising the dark figure was none other than harry.

" what are you doing here ?" Draco asked, wincing when Harry's hands accidentally touched his Wrist.

" oh- well- I think you should be asking what are you doing here " Harry gave him a small smile. He went across the room, Poured a glass of water and gave it to Draco, who took it without reluctance.

" well yes and that too " Draco nodded

" well let's start at the beginning, I had somehow an instinct that you had attempted suicide and ran up for it and then I bought you here " Harry grinned in a fake way.

" okay, now what's the actual reason ?"

Harry sighed, sitting down on the chair next to his bed " first I need you to answer if you're okay ?"

Draco frowned before whispering a small yes.

" I don't get it, how am I still here Harry ?"

Harry sucked in his cheeks thinking through to tell Someone how they're here who had wished upon to be dead until he decided, he deserved to know.

" I have news for you. Want to hear the good news or the bad news ?"

" what ? You know What whatever is fine. Just tell me the good news "Draco shook his head impatiently.

" well, your mom is on house arrest for 2 years with validation to leave the house only with aurors on duty and next, you've won the trial. But you are on probation for 6 months " harry replied, leaning back into his chair.

" I've won- how is that possible? I wasn't even there ?" Draco let his confusion entirely pour out without thinking through the fact that he was still talking to his arch nemesis.

" according to decree no. 40 of the laws and regulations of ministry of magic, a juvenile in life threatened situation, may or may not be present in the court to defend themselves if they have a defendants on their side to provide with relevant evidence "

" and who must be my defendant- it was you, wasn't it ?"

Harry sighed " I was. Not because I pitied you or anything. I was on your defense before you even tried to commit anything. I was only going to come and talk to you about the case when I found you, well covered In blood and unconscious "

" you didn't had to save me. I did it for a reason-"

" a reason that was absurd enough " harry fought back.

" you don't make my decisions for me potter. I make my own decisions and it was mine to do this to myself "

" so what, you just wanted me to leave you there to die, are you nuts ?" Harry frustratingly voiced.

" of course-"

" then I'm sorry to inform you, that's not me malfoy-"

" obviously because your saviour complex would never be able to do that. Leave someone to die. Haven't you got enough fame to be the saviour that you had save my life, again ?" Draco yelled despite being in a weak composure.

" it's not my saviour complex. It's humanity. I'd save any life that I can. Like I did on the night of the war just like you saved mine in the manor " Harry exhaled heavily not realising he had stood up.

" the entire wizarding world was on your shoulder. Your life mattered-"

" yours did too. You think your life doesn't matter, that nobody cares about it but I saw your mother cry when she saw your body in the hospital. I for the first time saw your father feel something, I saw your idiot of a friend pansy cry over. I saw my friends giving you condolences. I don't give a shit about how your life mattered or not , to me, it did and that's the end of it "

Agitated, Harry passed his hands through his hair, breathing heavily.

" it doesn't change anything, it still didn't matter. I decided to do this to myself and - is that bandage on your hand ?" Draco looked more closely at Harry's hands.

" what- yeah. That's well, you lost too much blood by the time we bought you here that they had to do blood transfusion. Muggle way. It was sort of my idea but your blood either matched with your father who by ministry's order couldn't get a free release. So it was me or him. They went for me "

" so- y- you donated your blood t- to me ?" Draco was flushed by either embarrassment or fondness.

" sort of yeah. I mean I had to " Harry sighed as he collapsed back into the chair.

" oh " Draco frowned as he looked down in his lap wondering what he should've said next.

" I did see your letter too " Harry said after momentary silence.

" why would you do it ? Haven't you saved my life enough times do it once again?" Draco was more touched than he allowed himself to be but the fact that the person he gave a reason to hate him his entire life, saved his life multiple times without hesitation, it rendered him completely foresaken.

" ma- draco, it isn't about how many times I save your life, it's that I know your worth saving.. it's hard to believe even for me but you're not the bad guy. You never were and that's the bottom line. You can call it my saviour complex but I've seen people die and- i- just could not see more people dying if I could save them. Don't you see it already, you're not meant to die, not right now atleast. That night you could've died in the fire but you didn't because you could've been saved and I did that. You tried to voluntarily die again, but then again, you were meant to be saved and there I was. And blood transfusion, again you were meant to be saves again-"

" by you-"

" it's not about me. It's that you always had someone around to make you live through, on every verge of death. Like me, I never die " harry chuckled lightly to cut the thick tension in the room and he knew he didn't fail when he saw a faint smile on draco's face.

" I know why you wanted to. I saw all the hateful letters and after everything I understand why you would want to stop living but the truth is, if there's someone who deserves to die more than you, should be me but yet here I am. Living another day "

When he met with no response, he dragged his chair closer to draco's bed and resumed speaking.

" there's been plenty of times I've wanted everything to just stop. Infinite times. I can list reason why I should give up, even when i wanted to I didn't.. I've literally got no family left of me draco but my friends. My heart ache to meet the people who could've raised me. Sirius was the only person close to a family I've ever gotten but then I lost him and I cannot tell you how much I had cried over losing him, I wanted that pain to just stop with voldemort practically living in my head, I didn't wanted to be the person I am as of today, I really wished for something different but I couldn't have it. I remember yelling at professor Dumbledore , throwing thing's at him even after losing him but I had no choice. I've wanted to give up so so many times, but I knew I couldn't, I shouldn't because there's people out there who still care. There's probably people in future that would care about you, and if not people your friend's, me" harry almost blushed at last

" you ? You care about me ?" Draco frowned

" I- it's- well- I wouldn't call it not Caring though but that's not the point. I've pretty much hated you all my life Malfoy, but even then you do not deserve to die. You've done awful things but none even close to killing Someone and you wanna know why, because you couldn't do it. I was there when you were supposed to kill Dumbledore, but I saw you lowering your wand. You didn't wanted to kill him and that's because you're not the bad guy, you're just someone with no choice, like me" harry pressed his lips in a thin line looking at the way draco was staring at him with a strange appreciation.

Draco remained silent. He knew that whatever harry said wasn't entirely going to stop him from feeling bad about himself but coming from harry, it meant to him a lot more than he could've ever expressed.

" why? I thought you always hated me, then the trial, my life ? I came to kill you the night of the war, how could you possibly want to defend me ?"

" did you really wanted to kill me ? If you wanted to, you Could've, instead of standing there talking to me. And about hate, trust me I had better people to hate than just you. And above everything, I knew you were innocent. I always knew it " harry replied shrugging.

Draco huffed out a breath of air still pondering over whether he should thank harry or throw him out of the window for saving his life.

" I can't believe you think I'm worth saving " draco whispered looking at his twitching fingers on his lap.

" I can't believe I was worth saving for you, twice " Harry gave him a small smile.

And draco couldn't say anything else. His anger dissolved somewhere in harry admitting that draco was worth saving and smiling at him and he couldn't find it in himself to be angry again. How can you mad at someone who gave an entire speech of to why you deserved to be saved.

" you said there's bad news . What is it ?" Draco finally asked at last

" oh- right- the bad news you're going to be under my observation because I was among the only defence on your case who cared enough to volunteer to look after. So voila you'll be staying with me in grimauld place, which by the way I think technically is still half yours "

" live with you ? Why ?"

" as I said, observation. Probation. And you are in no state to look after your own self "

" you aren't so yourself " draco scanned harry, not taking more than a moment to realise harry was himself not in the finest shape.

" well if that is- you look after me and I'll look after you. Let's make that a deal?" Harry actually, genuinely smiled.

Draco gave a low painful laugh nodding his head.

" I should go by the way. My visiting hours, starts again at night. So I'll meet you then. It's good to see you, alive again " harry stood up, pressing his hands against one another in a single clap.

" yea- I'll see you then " draco pressed his lips in a firm line, nodding at harry.

" alright " and harry walked towards the door.

" po- harry ?"

" yeah ?" Harry turned around only for a moment

" thank you and also sorry for everything I've put you through "

Harry smiled at draco " I've already forgiven you. Forgive your own self draco. It all starts there "

And with harry left, leaving draco to smile after exactly one minute of comprehending everything. Someone to look after him after everything didn't sound as bad anymore.

( the difference in my writing since I first wrote it and now, amazes me. Thank you for making me do this )

Requests accepted.

Draco Malfoys letter before he died

" Today I want to tell you a story of a fucked up family where a boy grew up with a father and mother who only quarrelled in the house and that man of the house didn't treat his women right like she was some pedestal he could stand on . A family where the dinners were silent and if talked , only talked about planning murders . A house which should've been a light Lavender was a House filled with black and less lights , just like their lives . A family where it was taught that love makes you weak and is for losers . A family where it was taught that bribing was your way towards everything . A family where the kid was afraid of his father . A family where the kid had been hit because he tried to befriend with some outsider . A family where the murder stories never ended . A family who worshipped the dark lord like he was a saint and gave him a shelter to Live . Would you even call it a house where it never felt like home but a prison !? A prison with relentless screaming , Snickers of death eaters , with blood almost always on the floor! Would you call it a home ?! Would you !

Did anyone even wonder what happened to that boy who lived in the house ! No Because why would they , after all he was the son of a death Eater ! But no-one wanted to hear his story , who he wanted to be , what he wanted and why he wanted . Nobody cared about how he felt scared everyday , nobody cared about how he lived in that house tucked away in the corner of his room , away from the world because it was his escape. Nobody cared to teach him how to treat other people but everyone judged him when he treated then wrong . Nobody cared who he was outside school because all they cared about was to hate him because he made them hate him . This boy grew up thinking love cannot run in his veins and there would be no one to tell him how to smile and how to treat people . This boy grew up thinking just like his father even if he never wanted to but this boy grew up being judged by the entire world. Oh what a crime it was to be a death eaters child but did anyone ask him that when the time came , did he wanted to he death Eater !? Did he feel proud when he got that ugly scar on his hand ? Why , no body asked him because it was his fate ?! Fate was it !

This is me , the boy who never knew love ! The boy with a fucked up family ! No body would believe if I had said I was forced to be death Eater , why would they ? After all it was my fate wasn't it ! Everyone thought I was proud to be one of them , did anyone ask me though ? No , why ? Because you were Afraid that my answer would be different and you'd not be able to see me as a slightly better person ?

People said I had a choice ! Do you really think so ? Sat amongst death eaters , a man who without a spell could kill my family , me and anyone I could call dear to me ! Do you think I had a choice when that lingering snake was over the dinner table who I've seen murder people everyday !? Do you think I had a choice when the dark lord was breathing on my neck asking me if my answer was a no ? Do you think I had a choice when my father was looking at me a threatening eyes ? Do you think I had a choice !? You think ? You call me a coward , maybe I am but tell me would you not have done the same if your family was at stake ? Wouldn't you do everything to protect them , to protect yourself ?

But everyone judged the born of the death Eater , not the saviour of the wizarding world ! Nobody judged him when he got played by dark lord to go to ministry of magic ! Nobody judged him when he gave up the prophecy because his friends lives were at stake ! Nobody judged Ron , Hermione or harry when they destroyed the gringotts because they had to get the horcruxes ! Nobody judged Ginny when she was possessed because she was small ?

Any of me comparing wouldn't count as anything , why , because they became legend and I became a taint on human being ! Because they saved lives and I didn't . Because they were on the right side and I wasn't . Because I wasn't as courageous enough as them? Because their stories for told and mine didn't !

But today the story ends here , tonight. I Draco malfoy confess to my sins because I don't know how much more hate can I take , I don't know how much judging I can take , I don't know how much more threating glances I can take . So tonight I do a favour of dying . For once I want to save myself from hatred but give myself to death

Crime committed :

son of a death Eater , suicide at 17

Yours truly

Draco Malfoy "

How to get away with murder?

Prompt used- Sitting on others lap | harry and draco get's assigned for a murder mystery as pretend boyfriends | TW- torture | ENEMIES TO LOVER |

" no Simon, get the hell out of here " robard yelled walking into the room

"now, my favourite aurors " robard grinned as he settled down in his office chair in front of his two employees.

" greetings robard " harry nodded

" morning " the other one greeted

" right, greetings can go on for hours. Now the actual reason I sufficed you here. This particular case has been up by from other aurors as their inability to actually being able to sort it and who better than you two. Cutting to the chase, you know I don't like to waste time. You two are going to work on this case together-"

" with draco, no way-"

" with harry, no way-"

They both glared at each other, narrowing their eyes.

" now now, don't kill each other right here. I know how much you two hate each other but this case is important for DMLE. The truth is you both have strengths which if put together can be put to greater use. Draco is great at analysing situations, detecting potions and previously casted magic and you harry, dear you're fast, you're smooth talker, your wand less magic, and your instincts. All of your traits can so easily solve this case and I want your heads in for that" robard looked at both of them expectedly.

" come on, give me an answer. It's your last case harry, it's all chase and fun " robard insisted

" you're leaving DMLE ?" Draco turned to harry. Harry nodded without Daring to look at him.

" finally understood you don't stand a chance here-"

" as you please Malfoy. I've caught more people than you ever have " harry rolled his eyes

" see this is why I chose you. Your determination-"

" will you stop with the ass licking robard. I'll do it but I must insist at places I'd like to work alone " harry sighed

" same for me. I like to have my space " draco replied.

" well it's settled then. You're in the case for Gary oakman " robard clapped his hands lightly, passing them the files he had fetched before hand. Picking up the files harry and draco almost left the room when robard stopped them.

" oh and you're going to be pretend boyfriends. Do your best, good luck " robard grinned and shut the door on their faces.

" what-"

" what -"

They both looked at each other with morbid shock.

__________________________

Harry pinched his nose tiredly as they went through the case together " I hate this case "

" tell me about it , this man didn't even have had that much money, no heir to pass onto, no wife or anything yet he's murdered " draco sighed as he leaned back into his chair.

" the bigger part is, no culprits, no victims "

" we do have a witness though, the house maid. Rosy I suppose " draco skimmed over her details.

Harry looked at the watch knowing he had stayed in his office for far longer than he normally did " anyways, I'm going to head home. We have to be there tomorrow so the packing. I suggest you do that too "

Draco looks at harry, then at the clock in the wall " in a few " and harry nodded before walking out.

The next morning they met in front of the ministry

" I want you two at the best behavior and I mean it " robard insisted

" I'll try my best to be on the best behavior with my fake boyfriend james " harry rolled his eyes as he checked his coat pockets for everything.

" can I still do the case individually?" Draco rolled his eyes

" draco, trust me, I have thought this through and you would do best at the disposal of your resources " robard sighed as he shook hands with both of them " off you go now. Don't forget to revise your history "

And with that harry and draco sat inside the car.

" I'm so excited " draco sarcastically scowled

" it would be a pleasure to work with you " harry narrowed his eyes at Draco equally sarcastically.

As obvious, they didn't talk through the journey, knowing that if conversed they would want to rip each other heads off. So they Only talked hurriedly when they reached the manor.

" you're james , I'm Derek. We've been together for 2 years, right ?" Harry reassured

" much to my displeasure " draco rolled his eyes as he took down his bags from the car

" best behavior my ass " harry sneered under his breath as he took out his own bags and waited for draco to join him towards the door.

" huh, I'm sure you could never afford such manor " draco said as he dragged his bags towards harry.

" funnily enough draco, I am the owner of a manor since I was 17. Jokes on you " harry grinned sarcastically as he walked forwards towards the gate.

" oh and by the way, I'm far more rich than you are considering I donate a lot of money to orphanages and such. Good deeds. But what would you know about it " harry smiled sharply. It fueled draco how Harry was insulting him with a smile, but man he wasn't lying.

" shall we put this banters aside and finally get to business ?" Harry asked at last. Draco nodded and suddenly the Manor's door opened and they met, Rosy, the housemaid.

" oh my darlings, you are finally here. We've been waiting for you for an hour. Heavy traffic huh ?" She smiled

" it was a little bit of traffic. You see my beautiful boyfriend, he got up a bit late. Sorry about the inconvenience " harry replied as he pulled draco towards him and intertwined their fingers.

" I'm really sorry, that's just me " draco smiled at the lady.

" no matter, no matter. You can leave the bags, the bell boys will take these. Shall we walk inside then ?" She asked with a warm smile

" of course. Shall we james ?" Harry asked draco as he swiftly pulled him more closer to vanish any suspicions.

" of course Darling " draco swore he threw up a little In his mouth.

And they walked towards the main door with harry appreciating the gardens and the vines and talking about the architecture of the windows and doors from the 1960s.

" we'll let you freshen up then. This would be your room. And since you're a couple we thought you wouldn't need two separate rooms, right ?" Rosy asked expectedly

" oh- no no of course not. We share the same room and trust me Ms. Rosy If you had given us separate rooms, I would've been in his room all the time " harry chuckled.

" well then it's no inconvenience. Your bags are already up here. The lunch is at 2, and then we'll give you the house tour. Oh and yes, that area is out of bounds " Rosy cheekily smiled and walked away.

Harry kept smiling until they had reached the room and closed the door behind him and draco immediately jerked his hands off harry..

" wow, I love my boyfriend " Harry sarcastically said.

" what was the hand holding for ?" Draco sneered

" uh- draco, couple's normally do that and if you want to be done with the case as soon as possible, you too have to do couple things even if you hate it. It's important that we raise no suspicions at all. One suspicion and we're dead, alright " harry explained as he took off his shoes and lined it up up on the rack.

Draco hated to admit but harry was right " I think it'd be better if we didn't use our actual names too then and- muffalito- use protection charms all the time "

Harry raised an eyebrow at Draco impressively " guess robard wasn't all wrong about you then "

Draco rolled his eyes at harry and disposed off his extra clothes onto the chair.

" I'll take the shower first " draco announced and went into the bathroom.

Harry didn't had time to react but couldn't even if he wanted to, knowing draco was still a huge pain in the ass.

_________________________

" how are you going to transfigure ?" Draco asked harry as he got ready for the actual investigation

" polyjuice potion " harry replied not even looking at Draco sitting over the study going through the reports.

" you do know it's effect only lasts 3 hours ?" Draco asked

" believe me d- james- I have taken polyjuice potion much more than it would be recommended to for a child" harry huffs as he put his auror coat in the suitcase and transfiguring it into a smaller bag.

" right, of course, the saviour had to do a lot to save us from the chambers of secret's " draco rolled his eyes and turned back to his reports.

" here take this coin. If you need me, just write on it.. not that we'd be far away anyways" harry said as he tossed the coin at Draco.

" how does it work ?" He asked

" just- I have another set of it. If you write something on it, I'll know it too. I used this back in DA meetings at school " harry double checked his pockets walking around in the room looking for his wand.

" clever " draco impressively frowned " here, your wand "

" thanks. And remember, don't raise suspicions" harry told Draco.

Rolling his eyes draco agreed and harry finally left the manor after greeting Rosy, getting ready to get back here again after transformation.

Harry returned half an hour later with his small team Including Ron and getting on with the investigation.

" Rosy, what's this all about ?" He heard someone ask as harry was standing just before the crime scene caution sign talking about the evidences found.

" oh, it's nothing. It was master's old bedroom. Mr. Gary. He passed away a couple weeks ago. These people think it's a murder and just barge in to investigate " Rosy sighed

" well that's too bad. My condolences Rosy. We hadn't known about it " draco sympathetically patted her back softly. Smiling to himself, harry got on with the investigation once again.

At night when harry had finally come back with reports and evidence he was met with a just out of shower draco.

" the water's still warm if you want to" draco told him as he softly patted towel over his head.

Harry nodded, dumping his reports and jackets over the chair and getting in the bathroom, smelling like Lavender and cinnamon.

It only took him 15 minutes in shower when he got out forgetting he didn't had his clothes.

" hey ma- james, can you pass me my clothes on the chair ?" Harry poked his head out of the bathroom.

He could've sworn he heard draco swear under his breath insulting harry.

" I can't find it, just come and take it yourself" draco called out.

Shrugging harry wrapped the towel around his lower body and got out of the bathroom, into the room to find his clothes.

" I left them h-"

" oh- I'm so sorry" Rosy had suddenly entered the room, turning her head in shame

" it's alright rosy. We- we just you know got out of the shower " harry gave her a little firm smile as he covered up his body with another towel.

" I- I'm really sorry. I will leave you two to it. Just bought some tea" she said without looking at them

" it's alright, leave them there, we'll call you if we need something " draco gave her a smile as he stepped closer to harry, putting his hand over Harry's shoulder in a physical gesture.

She nodded and embarrassingly left the room.

" just put on a damn shirt now, will you " draco rolled his eyes as he immediately created space between them.

" oh- I did not know that. I was planning on staying naked for the rest of the evening " harry rolled his eyes as he tried searching for his shirt until he saw draco.

" you're wearing my shirt "

" wha- oh. I didn't realise " draco looked down at his own blue shirt " no wonder it smells like shit"

Harry rolled his eyes " keep wearing it, I'll get myself another one " and he picked out another maroon shirt from the bag and wore it right there in the room.

" ahem- anyways, you got anything over the case ?" Draco asked turning around, giving harry his privacy.

" not a great deal. We would still have to go through every inch of that room and let me tell you, that rooms huge " harry huffed as he finally put on his pants and retrieved the files.

" here, these are the pictures I took today" harry displayed it over the table draco was sat on, ruffling his hair to dry them.

" wow- that's one- ha- stop dripping water over me "

" oh right- sorry" and Harry picked the towel again, drying his hair.

By the night, they decided to finally make an appearance downstairs for dinner.

" oh, I thought you'd had liked it in your room " rosy smiled

"we just thought it'd be nice to have dinner downstairs" harry smiled as he walked along with draco

" right, on the table then " she said and they made themselves comfortable over the dinner table.

" it's better than your manor " harry whispered to draco once they had settled in their Chairs. Draco narrowed his eyes at harry, giving him a scowl.

" here you go dears " rosy said as she placed plates one after the another.

" enjoy-"

" why don't you stay too. We'd like to get to know you, don't you think Derek ?" Draco asked smiling gently

" I think that would be brilliant " harry raised an eyebrow at Draco, impressed by his subtle approach.

With much hesitation rosy joined them, but not eating, just sitting further on a chair despite the insisted offer to join the table.

" pardon me mister's, I haven't been able to ask how you two met?" Rosy asked in Between

" oh- how we met- it's an interesting story actually-" draco stuttered

" we hated each other in school. But then we realised we only hated each other because we thought they had life easier. Infact we always liked each other and were too afraid to say it. So we put it into hate, until one day, I saw him alone in the school bathroom, crying and I consoled him, then I suppose we became friends and started dating after school " harry covered up for draco. Draco nodded along, amused but agreed to the story.

" that is so intriguing. I wish I could have a love like yours " Rosy grinned hopefully at them

" you know what, I think you'd get the love you deserve. And who knows might be very soon you meet the love of your life, like I have" draco smiled at rosy, drinking away his wine.

" I love you too james. I'm so glad I've met you " harry squeezed draco's hand across the table, making sure he raised no suspicions..

When they were finally done, harry insisted on helping through the kitchen, draco tagging along too when rosy spoke up

" you two make a very nice couple. I bet you don't fight a lot "

" we don-"

" oh we do, we do a lot. Who doesn't fight after all but we make up. We'd rather be with each other than anyone else. Right james ?" Harry smiled at draco, his cheeks hurting with smiling so much

" of course " draco smiled back at him as he intertwined their fingers and softly kissed Harry's knuckles. It was unfortunate that harry Blushed when he shouldn't had but with that craving physical touch, he couldn't resist.

" awh, look at you two "rosy happily sighed as he placed her hand over her chest as if touched by their relationship " oh look a mistletoe " she pointed

" a what ?" Draco's eyes suddenly widened, so did Harry's.

" there's a mistletoe " rosy pointed above their head

Harry forcefully chuckled "you don't believe in that thing, do you now rosy?"

" what's it with belief or not. It's a mistletoe. Always kiss under the mistletoe.. I mean it wouldn't matter much but make this lady happy " rosy happily said

Draco's opened his mouth to say something but unable to form any words he shut it close

" i- if that's what you want.. we're not such an open couple if you must know. Not into the public affection but for you rosy " harry gulped smiling pulling draco closer

" no suspicions " harry whispered very quietly to draco before pressing his lips against draco, tenderly kissing his soft lips, just for a few Seconds before breaking it off.

" is that how you'd normally kiss ?" Rosy asked

" what- no of course not rosy. We- we just you know save them for the bedroom, if you know what I mean " draco chuckled blushing.

Rosy's expression immediately changed " oh right, of course I understand "

" we should head to the room actually. It's getting late. We wouldn't want you staying up so late " harry said as he held draco's hands and started dragging him along with him.

Nodding, they finally left the kitchen and without so much of a suspicion made it to the room.

" you're sleeping on the couch for kissing me tonight " draco rolled his eyes as he dumped himself onto the bed.

" whatever " harry rolled his eyes and picked up his essentials and dumped onto the couch.

__________________________

" is everything fine with you two, Derek ?" Rosy asked as harry fetched the breakfast from her

" why do you ask ?" Harry frowned

" oh nothing- you just- I saw the couch with the blankets and everything and thought I- never mind, your personal life. I shouldn't intrude-"

" not at all rosy. Not at all. We just had a small Argument last night over something and, well it turned a bit ugly so I slept on the couch but I assure you, everything is fine " harry assured her taking two cups of coffee with him and heading back to the room.

" we've got a situation-" harry cut off when he saw draco wearing nothing but pants, getting ready for work.

Gulping harry broke out of it and casted a muffalito and gave draco the cup of coffee

" what happened ?" Draco asked as he pulled over a shirt.

" I think, it's a presumption, rosy knew I slept on the couch last night. She asked me about it and I don't want to raise any suspicions so let's not do the couch thing-"

" I've had enough with your no suspicions potter. We are not raising any suspicions. The only suspicion would be if it seemed as if our relationship was too perfect alright. Have some boundaries. I let it slide last night but you're never fucking kissing me again. That's the end of it. I don't give a shit if there was a mistletoe or anything, you better not do that again" draco snapped

" I can't believe you. You'd actually believe I'd enjoy kissing you, for fun or something. Please. Don't flatter yourself. I don't care if the case matters to you enough or not but this case is my last and I want to make the best of it. I don't want anything going wrong, even the slightest bit of suspicion that we're not a couple, anyone would figure out and we'd be dead before you know it. So suck it up because If you're working with me, you have to work with me " Harry snapped, pulling off his coat , taking his bag and slamming out of the manor.

Draco shut his eyes for a moment, sighing.

" everything alright dear ?" Suddenly someone asked.

Auror instincts immediately made him get up and reach for his wand when he realised it was Only rosy

" I thought i heard yelling " she said

" right- " Draco frowned, until he remembered clearly every single word from harry just before " we had a small Argument. We'd be fine.. if you don't mind, I'd like to be alone "

Rosy hurriedly nodded and left the room. It was not much later, draco too left the manor to come back again with harry for investigation.

" I think I know where to start. Talk with me tonight, yeah ?" Draco had told harry between work. Harry frowned but immediately nodded, waiting for the evening to arrive.

_________________________

2 weeks of pretending they didn't hate each other when they were in the same room, pretending they didn't almost disgusted themselves when they had to hold hands, pretending that they infact had the most perfect relationship. It was all too much. Some day's were fine, when it didn't feel like pretending but most of the time, it was pretending and they both couldn't wait for it to get over.

It was until the third and the final week, when Draco was fetching tea for harry and him when he noticed something.

" you look rather lovely today, rosy " draco complimented rosy with a smile.

Blushing furiously, she pushed a strand of her hair behind her hair, her sleeves sliding down a bit " thank you dear "

Draco finally gave her a genuine smile and walked off to the room and immediately casted a protection and silencing charms.

" I definitely have the lead "

" who ?" Harry asked as he buttoned up his shirt, draco ofcourse didn't pretend to notice it was the second time he had seen harry practically shirtless.

" not here " draco answered.

_______________________________

" are you absolutely, definitely, 100 percent sure ?" Harry asked when they had reached the door and put on the charms again.

" what's the first rule about investigating crime scene ?" Draco asked as he leaned over the table Harry was sitting opposite to.

" look for evidence " harry shrugged as if it was too obvious

" bingo. Exactly. A much skilled killer would make sure they never leave an evidence, it is infact the first priority but if someone did it for the first time, they tend to leave the evidence, mostly accidentally " draco's adrenaline pumped up as he cut to the chase.

" and you're saying you've found the evidence ?" Harry asked as he crossed his arm leaning backward into the chair.

" yes. Look what I found this morning. I was going through the evidence picture's yesterday, and look at this set of the picture. You see the dresser table, notice something familiar " draco pointed down at the picture, excitedly

" holy- shit that means-"

" yes- i noticed it this morning " draco widened his eyes In obvious surprise.

" holy shit- we've got it- we- dr- james- we got it. We got the killer " harry jumped from his chair and instinctively hugged draco, who too hugged back until they realised what they were doing and awkwardly separated away.

" we'll start at the beginning then. We can't arrest until we have the final words from the culprit themselves about it. Who, Where, When, Why, and How. We know who, we know where, we definitely know when, we need to know most importantly why and definitely how " harry said as he rubbed his Hands together grinning.

" this case finally got interesting " draco smirked at harry as he finally sat down on the chair.

" it definitely did " harry smirked back and sat down against draco.

" I can't imagine how I missed the detail " harry frowned

" it's alright. Can happen to anyone. I hadn't noticed it too until this morning " draco said nicely as he skimmed over the pages without looking up at harry..

Harry smiled warily " that's probably the nicest thing you've ever said to me "

Draco looked up, frowning " that's not true "

" it is " harry insisted

" what about- oh "

" exactly " harry bit his lip.

" I did say thank you for helping me with the trial though "

" you did..well this and that. Only two nicest thing you've ever said to me.. I appreciate it. You're good by the way. You make a nice auror " harry genuinely smiled at draco.

Draco frowned until it turned into a smile " why, thank you "

____________________________

" we have to find the key. There's no evident reason why they would commit such a crime" harry said as he flipped pages after pages in the files, frustratingly.

" don't worry-" he cut himself off and turned to harry.

" look at me ", frowning harry turned around to face draco, meeting with a thrust against the table, draco getting closer to him

" what- nmph-" Harry's hand collided with the table as his body pressed against it when Draco pushed him and kissed him over the lips. It was unexpected of how draco was kissing harry but it in the flow of the moment, harry kissed back. He enjoyed the sensation that sparked down his spine as draco's thigh adjusted between those of his own, his hands tugging Harry's shirt enclosing any distance left between them and the way draco was roughly making out with harry. It wasn't just a simple pleasurable kiss, it was a full fledged make out with draco's tongue grazing those of harry fighting for Dominance, his teeth biting off Harry's lower lip, emerging a moan from the back of Harry's throat. He let one of of his hand to rest against draco's back pulling him further in as harry deepened the kiss as if it would've been a Cardinal sin to not have the lustful, passionate, urgent make out. It was surprising of how draco had reciprocated the same but he had allowed himself to forget why he was kissing harry in the first place. He let himself drown in the moment, moaning softly as he felt Harry's tongue grazing his lip. They were kissing as if their lives depended on it, maybe it did but they had flown away in the moment that Only when they ran out of breath they separated and draco was faceplanted with reality again. He reached forward, his lips against harry's ear who without flinching let it happen.

" she's watching "

And harry immediately understood.

It was after work when they were walking back to the manor when they were discussing about the case.

" how did you figure she's watching ?"

" well I had my suspicions from the first week here when strangely the mistletoe thing happened and the next morning we had that argument. She had came in asked if everything was alright, since she thought she heard some yelling but if you vaguely recall you had planted the silencing charm, it would've been impossible for her to figure out but she had figured out, so I put an alert on one of the objects in the room if ever caught sight of that eye and this morning, it finally signalled " draco explained as he reached the gates of the manor and pushed open and walked inside

" she's one clever-rosy " harry stepped back

" welcome back, derek and James. Shall I get the coffee's before you go to your room ?"

" ah- of course " harry said as he suspiciously dumped his small transfigured case on the table while draco sat down on the chair.

" here you go " rosy grinned as she passed them the cup of coffee.

" I'd really like a biscuit rosy, if you don't mind" harry narrowed his eyes slightly at rosy. She nodded and walked away into the kitchen.

Harry immediately looked at Draco, who was holding the same expression that of his

" it's poisoned " draco whispered

" she knows " harry mouthed.

" here you go love" rosy said as he gave him the biscuit.

" actually you know rosy, I think I'd let this slide. I don't really feel like drinking coffee right now-"

" but I insist-"

" oh do you-" draco narrowed his eyes standing up

" of course, I do-"

" like you insisted Gary-" harry accused

" avada-"

" expelli-"

" stupefy "

Harry was thrown backwards harshly toward the back wall

" harry-"

" look behind " but it was too late, draco too was thrown back.

Harry groaned in pain as his fingers magically unnoticed moved the back furniture.

" I knew it exactly when you figured. When you refused to kiss that very night but you're much more clever than the old idiots who worked on the case " rosy tilted her face in a deadpanned expression.

" I'm definitely sure we're better " harry groaned still pulling off a smug look

" narcissist " rosy rolled her eyes.

She clicked her tongue in fake sympathy leaning down a little bit " he deserved to die, just so if you're wondering. He stole away this house from me. This house was supposed to be mine as his righteous daughter, too bad I wasn't a boy. Always underestimated me, called me squib, told me i didn't belong to this world, that I would never be half as good as any boy he could have, he sold this damn house. To whom, the stupid boy across the street. So I killed him before he could even write the will. Too bad for father" she clicked her tongue again.

Harry looked down at his lap, smirking when he finally looked up " you really are a bit more stupid than I thought"

" what did you just say !!" She yelled

" you're not that smart rosy " harry groaned, not moving even an inch

" you dare talk to me like that " rosy was pissed off. She should've hurt harry but she went in for draco, kicking him in the shin. But harry knew better to not so even flinch on the site of crime .

" tough boy " she frowned impressively as she grabbed Harry's face and squeezed it hard, slapping him away..

" I mean it rosy. You're not so smart. Wanna know why ?" Harry looked up with blood smearing his lips.

" enlighten me then potter boy " she raised an eyebrow, stepping back a little, just like harry wanted

" because you're not a killer because if you were, the first time you threw a spell at me, you didn't tie me down- bombarda " and the cabinet behind her broke in half, dragging rosy down with it.

She fell down painfully under the weight of the broken cabinet, groaning in pain.

" petrificus totalus " harry casted on her and she remained unmoved, her expression radiating anger.

" you really had to wait this long " draco groaned as harry lend him a hand to get up.

" it was the best of the show. Always keep them for the last draco " harry chuckled dusting off his clothes

" now for you my lovely rosy. Karma is gonna pay you. You know, voldemort's mother was just like you. Too bad she died. You're under arrest for the murder of Gary oakman, rosy Sheldon oakman " harry smiled at her and lifted her up and tying her to the chair.

" how did you know her entire name ?" Draco asked as he casted a message to the ministry for the team to arrive.

" you think you're the only one who figured out too soon. She have the exact same eyes as her father when she didn't wear contacts, it was that morning when she found out about our little fight" harry sighed.

" why didn't you tell me ?" Draco asked as he started putting on his auror uniform.

" I wasn't sure at least not until I found the details about her then same day when you told me about that broken earring from the picture and the morning you saw it"

Draco raised his eyebrows, surprised by Harry's neat skills " and the last move ?"

" never let your enemy know your last move " harry smirked

" you let me see " draco shrugged

" who said you're my enemy " harry smiled.

___________________________

" guess that pretend boyfriends worked out for you huh?" Ron teased chuckling

" I guess so " harry chuckled.

" your coffee " draco said as he bought the coffee and gave it to harry, placing a chaste kiss over Harry's cheek.

" When did this happen?"

" harry, dear boy. I- I can't begin to thank you enough for your services to the DMLE over the years " robard had said at celebration party

" oh it's nothing. It had been great working for the DMLE " harry replied as he took a glass of champagne from one of the waiters.

" it has been great whatsoever. You know I have to say I'm surprised how you returned back in one piece " robard joked

" why is that ?" Harry asked equally amused

" you were working with draco after all. Must've been quite few good fights and the hardest part of the case" robard frowned

" you'd be surprised " harry replied. Robard patted his back and finally engaged with other people to converse with.

Harry had been subtly enjoying his drink when robard decided to make a toast.

" hello, my dear fellows. You all must be tired so I'm going to cut this short" people chuckled forcing their attention on him " this is no ordinary party fella's. This is one farewell to one of our dearest workers, harry potter. I remember when he first joined the DMLE, not more than a little boy of 18 wanting to fight against the bad, he had that urge to prove himself, to push himself forward, to be the best.. and I've never regretted setting him up on any case. I've put you through so many life threatening cases and I do not regret to let you go harry, it was about time you took a break and finally looked after yourself.. we are losing a great auror, but this isn't a goodbye, harry, now is it. You'll be missed. To harry " robard raised his glass, people around the room clapping and raising the glass for harry too.

" so it's true, you're finally bidding goodbye to your savior complex "

Harry turned to his side smiling on recognising exactly who would use the word savior complex.

" sort of" harry chuckled.

Draco turned to face harry, a strange fondness etched upon his face with a light smile of solidarity.

" well- it's not going to be fun anymore" Draco whined playfully

" and why's that ?" Harry asked, light bouncing off his head.

" with you not here anymore, who would I have a competition with "

Harry shook his head laughing softly " strange way of saying you'd miss me "

Draco dramatically placed his hand over his chest " my, my. Me and missing you, in your dreams "

Harry laughed a little louder looking down at his champagne glass " it was nice working with you draco. You do make a great auror and with me out of the way, you can finally get the auror of the year badge "

" damn it, finally " draco pumped his Fist in fake victory until his smile turned into little laughter.

" you'll really be missed harry" draco finally said..

" I know. You will miss me the most " harry teased as he nudged his sides.

Blushing Draco rolled his eyes, nudging harry back " as if. I'm pretty sure you'd miss me more"

"I might, who knows " harry winked at Draco before he Walked away to talk with other people leaving draco entirely speechless, his thoughts running wild.

Exactly one hour later, they were found kissing behind the building. Better word, making out that is, ready to pounce on another.

" well it's a long story Ron, shall I begin from the time I was obsessed with stalking him or from the time I forgave him" harry asked knowingly fully well he was kidding

" or it might be first year, don't you think. I mean I was sort of into you to become friend's " draco suggested equally playfully as he sat down next to harry.

" oh god no, I've lived years of it, I can't- you guy's are such a cringe couple " Ron comically mimicked throwing up at harry holding draco's hands

" oh this cringes you out. Honey why don't you stand up -" draco obliged, before being pulled down into Harry's lap.

" how about you grind on-"

"no, no, merlin no. Hermione save me " Ron groaned as he got up and went to his girlfriend.

Draco broke into a fit of laughter in Harry's lap who too was chortling, instinctively hiding his face in draco's neck while one of his hand wrapped around Draco's torso.

" he's never going to forget this " harry laughed

" never " draco laughed looking down at harry until the laughter turned into a little smile.

" I think I might be falling for you " draco said as he pressed their heads together, sighing to himself, his hand cupping Harry's face.

" don't worry. I'm taking the fall with you " harry sighed and he softly kissed draco.

Well rosy didn't get away from murder after all but she indirectly put them together so every year, harry would send her a comical card on Christmas, all saying the same

" you didn't get away from murder. But you did get me and my boyfriend to make out, one plan of yours that didn't fail . Oh and my boyfriend says hi. With love, derek aka H"

Obviously rosy tore those cards down into shreds.

I did have fun writing this, however painful to see it being a flop. Happy reading.

44. How to get away with murder?

Prompt used- Sitting on others lap | harry and draco get's assigned for a murder mystery as pretend boyfriends | TW- torture | ENEMIES TO LOVER |

" no Simon, get the hell out of here " robard yelled walking into the room

"now, my favourite aurors " robard grinned as he settled down in his office chair in front of his two employees.

" greetings robard " harry nodded

" morning " the other one greeted

" right, greetings can go on for hours. Now the actual reason I sufficed you here. This particular case has been up by from other aurors as their inability to actually being able to sort it and who better than you two. Cutting to the chase, you know I don't like to waste time. You two are going to work on this case together-"

" with draco, no way-"

" with harry, no way-"

They both glared at each other, narrowing their eyes.

" now now, don't kill each other right here. I know how much you two hate each other but this case is important for DMLE. The truth is you both have strengths which if put together can be put to greater use. Draco is great at analysing situations, detecting potions and previously casted magic and you harry, dear you're fast, you're smooth talker, your wand less magic, and your instincts. All of your traits can so easily solve this case and I want your heads in for that" robard looked at both of them expectedly.

" come on, give me an answer. It's your last case harry, it's all chase and fun " robard insisted

" you're leaving DMLE ?" Draco turned to harry. Harry nodded without Daring to look at him.

" finally understood you don't stand a chance here-"

" as you please Malfoy. I've caught more people than you ever have " harry rolled his eyes

" see this is why I chose you. Your determination-"

" will you stop with the ass licking robard. I'll do it but I must insist at places I'd like to work alone " harry sighed

" same for me. I like to have my space " draco replied.

" well it's settled then. You're in the case for Gary oakman " robard clapped his hands lightly, passing them the files he had fetched before hand. Picking up the files harry and draco almost left the room when robard stopped them.

" oh and you're going to be pretend boyfriends. Do your best, good luck " robard grinned and shut the door on their faces.

" what-"

" what -"

They both looked at each other with morbid shock.

__________________________

Harry pinched his nose tiredly as they went through the case together " I hate this case "

" tell me about it , this man didn't even have had that much money, no heir to pass onto, no wife or anything yet he's murdered " draco sighed as he leaned back into his chair.

" the bigger part is, no culprits, no victims "

" we do have a witness though, the house maid. Rosy I suppose " draco skimmed over her details.

Harry looked at the watch knowing he had stayed in his office for far longer than he normally did " anyways, I'm going to head home. We have to be there tomorrow so the packing. I suggest you do that too "

Draco looks at harry, then at the clock in the wall " in a few " and harry nodded before walking out.

The next morning they met in front of the ministry

" I want you two at the best behavior and I mean it " robard insisted

" I'll try my best to be on the best behavior with my fake boyfriend james " harry rolled his eyes as he checked his coat pockets for everything.

" can I still do the case individually?" Draco rolled his eyes

" draco, trust me, I have thought this through and you would do best at the disposal of your resources " robard sighed as he shook hands with both of them " off you go now. Don't forget to revise your history "

And with that harry and draco sat inside the car.

" I'm so excited " draco sarcastically scowled

" it would be a pleasure to work with you " harry narrowed his eyes at Draco equally sarcastically.

As obvious, they didn't talk through the journey, knowing that if conversed they would want to rip each other heads off. So they Only talked hurriedly when they reached the manor.

" you're james , I'm Derek. We've been together for 2 years, right ?" Harry reassured

" much to my displeasure " draco rolled his eyes as he took down his bags from the car

" best behavior my ass " harry sneered under his breath as he took out his own bags and waited for draco to join him towards the door.

" huh, I'm sure you could never afford such manor " draco said as he dragged his bags towards harry.

" funnily enough draco, I am the owner of a manor since I was 17. Jokes on you " harry grinned sarcastically as he walked forwards towards the gate.

" oh and by the way, I'm far more rich than you are considering I donate a lot of money to orphanages and such. Good deeds. But what would you know about it " harry smiled sharply. It fueled draco how Harry was insulting him with a smile, but man he wasn't lying.

" shall we put this banters aside and finally get to business ?" Harry asked at last. Draco nodded and suddenly the Manor's door opened and they met, Rosy, the housemaid.

" oh my darlings, you are finally here. We've been waiting for you for an hour. Heavy traffic huh ?" She smiled

" it was a little bit of traffic. You see my beautiful boyfriend, he got up a bit late. Sorry about the inconvenience " harry replied as he pulled draco towards him and intertwined their fingers.

" I'm really sorry, that's just me " draco smiled at the lady.

" no matter, no matter. You can leave the bags, the bell boys will take these. Shall we walk inside then ?" She asked with a warm smile

" of course. Shall we james ?" Harry asked draco as he swiftly pulled him more closer to vanish any suspicions.

" of course Darling " draco swore he threw up a little In his mouth.

And they walked towards the main door with harry appreciating the gardens and the vines and talking about the architecture of the windows and doors from the 1960s.

" we'll let you freshen up then. This would be your room. And since you're a couple we thought you wouldn't need two separate rooms, right ?" Rosy asked expectedly

" oh- no no of course not. We share the same room and trust me Ms. Rosy If you had given us separate rooms, I would've been in his room all the time " harry chuckled.

" well then it's no inconvenience. Your bags are already up here. The lunch is at 2, and then we'll give you the house tour. Oh and yes, that area is out of bounds " Rosy cheekily smiled and walked away.

Harry kept smiling until they had reached the room and closed the door behind him and draco immediately jerked his hands off harry..

" wow, I love my boyfriend " Harry sarcastically said.

" what was the hand holding for ?" Draco sneered

" uh- draco, couple's normally do that and if you want to be done with the case as soon as possible, you too have to do couple things even if you hate it. It's important that we raise no suspicions at all. One suspicion and we're dead, alright " harry explained as he took off his shoes and lined it up up on the rack.

Draco hated to admit but harry was right " I think it'd be better if we didn't use our actual names too then and- muffalito- use protection charms all the time "

Harry raised an eyebrow at Draco impressively " guess robard wasn't all wrong about you then "

Draco rolled his eyes at harry and disposed off his extra clothes onto the chair.

" I'll take the shower first " draco announced and went into the bathroom.

Harry didn't had time to react but couldn't even if he wanted to, knowing draco was still a huge pain in the ass.

_________________________

" how are you going to transfigure ?" Draco asked harry as he got ready for the actual investigation

" polyjuice potion " harry replied not even looking at Draco sitting over the study going through the reports.

" you do know it's effect only lasts 3 hours ?" Draco asked

" believe me d- james- I have taken polyjuice potion much more than it would be recommended to for a child" harry huffs as he put his auror coat in the suitcase and transfiguring it into a smaller bag.

" right, of course, the saviour had to do a lot to save us from the chambers of secret's " draco rolled his eyes and turned back to his reports.

" here take this coin. If you need me, just write on it.. not that we'd be far away anyways" harry said as he tossed the coin at Draco.

" how does it work ?" He asked

" just- I have another set of it. If you write something on it, I'll know it too. I used this back in DA meetings at school " harry double checked his pockets walking around in the room looking for his wand.

" clever " draco impressively frowned " here, your wand "

" thanks. And remeber, don't raise suspicions" harry told Draco.

Rolling his eyes draco agreed and harry finally left the manor after greeting Rosy, getting ready to get back here again after transformation.

Harry returned half an hour later with his small team Including Ron and getting on with the investigation.

" Rosy, what's this all about ?" He heard someone ask as harry was standing just before the crime scene caution sign talking about the evidences found.

" oh, it's nothing. It was master's old bedroom. Mr. Gary. He passed away a couple weeks ago. These people think it's a murder and just barge in to investigate " Rosy sighed

" well that's too bad. My condolences Rosy. We hadn't known about it " draco sympathetically patted her back softly. Smiling to himself, harry got on with the investigation once again.

At night when harry had finally come back with reports and evidence he was met with a just out of shower draco.

" the water's still warm if you want to" draco told him as he softly patted towel over his head.

Harry nodded, dumping his reports and jackets over the chair and getting in the bathroom, smelling like Lavender and cinnamon.

It only took him 15 minutes in shower when he got out forgetting he didn't had his clothes.

" hey ma- james, can you pass me my clothes on the chair ?" Harry poked his head out of the bathroom.

He could've sworn he heard draco swear under his breath insulting harry.

" I can't find it, just come and take it yourself" draco called out.

Shrugging harry wrapped the towel around his lower body and got out of the bathroom, into the room to find his clothes.

" I left them h-"

" oh- I'm so sorry" Rosy had suddenly entered the room, turning her head in shame

" it's alright rosy. We- we just you know got out of the shower " harry gave her a little firm smile as he covered up his body with another towel.

" I- I'm really sorry. I will leave you two to it. Just bought some tea" she said without looking at them

" it's alright, leave them there, we'll call you if we need something " draco gave her a smile as he stepped closer to harry, putting his hand over Harry's shoulder in a physical gesture.

She nodded and embarrassingly left the room.

" just put on a damn shirt now, will you " draco rolled his eyes as he immediately created space between them.

" oh- I did not know that. I was planning on staying naked for the rest of the evening " harry rolled his eyes as he tried searching for his shirt until he saw draco.

" you're wearing my shirt "

" wha- oh. I didn't realise " draco looked down at his own blue shirt " no wonder it smells like shit"

Harry rolled his eyes " keep wearing it, I'll get myself another one " and he picked out another maroon shirt from the bag and wore it right there in the room.

" ahem- anyways, you got anything over the case ?" Draco asked turning around, giving harry his privacy.

" not a great deal. We would still have to go through every inch of that room and let me tell you, that rooms huge " harry huffed as he finally put on his pants and retrieved the files.

" here, these are the pictures I took today" harry displayed it over the table draco was sat on, ruffling his hair to dry them.

" wow- that's one- ha- stop dripping water over me "

" oh right- sorry" and Harry picked the towel again, drying his hair.

By the night, they decided to finally make an appearance downstairs for dinner.

" oh, I thought you'd had liked it in your room " rosy smiled

"we just thought it'd be nice to have dinner downstairs" harry smiled as he walked along with draco

" right, on the table then " she said and they made themselves comfortable over the dinner table.

" it's better than your manor " harry whispered to draco once they had settled in their Chairs. Draco narrowed his eyes at harry, giving him a scowl.

" here you go dears " rosy said as she placed plates one after the another.

" enjoy-"

" why don't you stay too. We'd like to get to know you, don't you think Derek ?" Draco asked smiling gently

" I think that would be brilliant " harry raised an eyebrow at Draco, impressed by his subtle approach.

With much hesitation rosy joined them, but not eating, just sitting further on a chair despite the insisted offer to join the table.

" pardon me mister's, I haven't been able to ask how you two met?" Rosy asked in Between

" oh- how we met- it's an interesting story actually-" draco stuttered

" we hated each other in school. But then we realised we only hated each other because we thought they had life easier. Infact we always liked each other and were too afraid to say it. So we put it into hate, until one day, I saw him alone in the school bathroom, crying and I consoled him, then I suppose we became friends and started dating after school " harry covered up for draco. Draco nodded along, amused but agreed to the story.

" that is so intriguing. I wish I could have a love like yours " Rosy grinned hopefully at them

" you know what, I think you'd get the love you deserve. And who knows might be very soon you meet the love of your life, like I have" draco smiled at rosy, drinking away his wine.

" I love you too james. I'm so glad I've met you " harry squeezed draco's hand across the table, making sure he raised no suspicions..

When they were finally done, harry insisted on helping through the kitchen, draco tagging along too when rosy spoke up

" you two make a very nice couple. I bet you don't fight a lot "

" we don-"

" oh we do, we do a lot. Who doesn't fight after all but we make up. We'd rather be with each other than anyone else. Right james ?" Harry smiled at draco, his cheeks hurting with smiling so much

" of course " draco smiled back at him as he intertwined their fingers and softly kissed Harry's knuckles. It was unfortunate that harry Blushed when he shouldn't had but with that craving physical touch, he couldn't resist.

" awh, look at you two "rosy happily sighed as he placed her hand over her chest as if touched by their relationship " oh look a mistletoe " she pointed

" a what ?" Draco's eyes suddenly widened, so did Harry's.

" there's a mistletoe " rosy pointed above their head

Harry forcefully chuckled "you don't believe in that thing, do you now rosy?"

" what's it with belief or not. It's a mistletoe. Always kiss under the mistletoe.. I mean it wouldn't matter much but make this lady happy " rosy happily said

Draco's opened his mouth to say something but unable to form any words he shut it close

" i- if that's what you want.. we're not such an open couple if you must know. Not into the public affection but for you rosy " harry gulped smiling pulling draco closer

" no suspicions " harry whispered very quietly to draco before pressing his lips against draco, tenderly kissing his soft lips, just for a few Seconds before breaking it off.

" is that how you'd normally kiss ?" Rosy asked

" what- no of course not rosy. We- we just you know save them for the bedroom, if you know what I mean " draco chuckled blushing.

Rosy's expression immediately changed " oh right, of course I understand "

" we should head to the room actually. It's getting late. We wouldn't want you staying up so late " harry said as he held draco's hands and started dragging him along with him.

Nodding, they finally left the kitchen and without so much of a suspicion made it to the room.

" you're sleeping on the couch for kissing me tonight " draco rolled his eyes as he dumped himself onto the bed.

" whatever " harry rolled his eyes and picked up his essentials and dumped onto the couch.

__________________________

" is everything fine with you two, Derek ?" Rosy asked as harry fetched the breakfast from her

" why do you ask ?" Harry frowned

" oh nothing- you just- I saw the couch with the blankets and everything and thought I- never mind, your personal life. I shouldn't intrude-"

" not at all rosy. Not at all. We just had a small Argument last night over something and, well it turned a bit ugly so I slept on the couch but I assure you, everything is fine " harry assured her taking two cups of coffee with him and heading back to the room.

" we've got a situation-" harry cut off when he saw draco wearing nothing but pants, getting ready for work.

Gulping harry broke out of it and casted a muffalito and gave draco the cup of coffee

" what happened ?" Draco asked as he pulled over a shirt.

" I think, it's a presumption, rosy knew I slept on the couch last night. She asked me about it and I don't want to raise any suspicions so let's not do the couch thing-"

" I've had enough with your no suspicions potter. We are not raising any suspicions. The only suspicion would be if it seemed as if our relationship was too perfect alright. Have some boundaries. I let it slide last night but you're never fucking kissing me again. That's the end of the end of it. I don't give a shit if there was a mistletoe or anything, you better not do that again" draco snapped

" I can't believe you. You'd actually believe I'd enjoy kissing you, for fun or something. Please. Don't flatter yourself. I don't care if the case matters to you enough or not but this case is my last and I want to make the best of it. I don't want anything going wrong, even the slightest bit of suspicion that we're not a couple, anyone would figure out and we'd be dead before you know it. So suck it up because If you're working with me, you have to work with me " Harry snapped, pulling off his coat , taking his bag and slamming out of the manor.

Draco shut his eyes for a moment, sighing.

" everything alright dear ?" Suddenly someone asked.

Auror instincts immediately made him get up and reach for his wand when he realised it was Only rosy

" I thought i heard yelling " she said

" right- " Draco frowned, until he remembered clearly every single word from harry just before " we had a small Argument. We'd be fine.. if you don't mind, I'd like to be alone "

Rosy hurriedly nodded and left the room. It was not much later, draco too left the manor to come back again with harry for investigation.

" I think I know where to start. Talk with me tonight, yeah ?" Draco had told harry between work. Harry frowned but immediately nodded, waiting for the evening to arrive.

___________________________

To be continued. Requests accepted ( even for part 2, despite that it'll be out anyways )

I had immense fun writing this. Also Tumblr cut me on word limit,soo.. you'll have to wait for the next part. Happy reading.

Serious notice- I have missed a prompt in between, which will be labelled 43 and willl to be out as soon as possible.

Day 42- little things | Day 45- feeling their temperature

43. Love me like never before

As a request to redo this by @thebusyfangirl , I combined this with my missed prompt no. 43- braiding others hair. I wrote this while playing my Ukulele and I cried at the tune. Hope you like this.

Harry finally catch sight of the only one he look for and give it another try | fluff | mostly ANGST | domestic | hurt comfort |

Harry bobbed his head listening to the music, moving his body in slow rhythms unnoticed by anyone dancing to the songs playing at Blaise's wedding.

It happened an year ago when Blaise had accidentally met harry at the mall and thereafter have remained in touch and infact became pretty good friends. The time they met, Blaise was going through one harsh phase in his life and Blaise likes to claim that harry helped him a lot, not that harry ever understood that.

It was enjoyable to see everyone laughing away as a few started departing and only very close people remained. There was slow dancing and harry remained sat there, drowning on his glass of Scotch, staring away at dancing muses of anatomically humane bodies.

" to what do owe the pleasure of you finally reaching out after 30 minutes long time of longingly staring " harry turned to the man who he was very much aware of having stare at him most of the time.

" believe me mister it takes a lot of time to gather courage but now I did, and reached out " harry shook his head as if it was funny.

" well if you've come here to stare, so let me be bethroned to my seat and you can stare at me then " he raised an eyebrow

" no, I- as much as pleasurable it would be-"

" I'm really sorry I have to go. I'm harry by the way, nice meeting you" and harry fled off without even listening the others man's name because he had finally caught the sight of who he always looked for.

" draco "

" hey " harry greeted

" harry, I- it's a surprise to see you here-" he said

" is it? You weren't at the wedding?" Harry furrowed his eyebrows

" I- I wanted to, really. Just got stuck. I haven't seen you the entire time though. I'd been here for a long time " he answered

" really ? You might've missed " harry frowned

Silence.

" I didn't know you were close to Blaise ?" Draco asked

" oh- yeah. We met Last year, I helped him through his previous divorce " harry replied

" I didn't know you were a lawyer " he said with an amused look

" oh- no, no of course not. I consulted him to a lawyer " harry replied clicking his tongue.

The other man nodded, understandably. He gulped his Scotch, wincing as it burnt his Throat, but then again he had Always been into drinking scotch even if burnt, he liked it's sensation, and harry knew this as if it was ancient scroll he revised every night.

" so where do you work now ?" Harry asked

He clicked his tongue, gulping down his drink before replying " I'm in between. I have given up my practice-"

You were a healer at st.mungo's right ?" Harry interjected

" yeah, right. Someone accused me, I lost the case. Politician's pressure you know, bet one like my father. Anyways, no regrets. I was kind of getting sick of watching all the patients everyday with blood and bruises. I've applied to ivermory for potions post, haven't heard from them" he replied

" why not Hogwarts?" Harry asked

" i- I haven't thought of it. But a few painful memories you know-"

" I understand. If you want help-"

" no, thank you" he replied defensively " I Just. I want to make it on my own if you don't mind it. As much as it would be a great help, I think I want to make a place for myself somewhere with however I am- with the mark if you know what I mean " he added

Harry nodded again, understandably " I still think you're more than just your mark. It doesn't define your life"

" but it does " he sighed.

And silence fell over again. Harry looked warily over the music station

" the music playlist is rather nice" he complimented pointing towards the music station subtly.

" allow me to take the credits for it" harry smiled wittily

" oh really? You made the playlist then ?" He asked impressed

" I did. Played a few of them myself that is " harry proudly said

" my, my. When did you started playing again ?" He asked Thoroughly interested.

" it was uh- well I think - wait- how'd you know I stopped playing ?"

" oh- you don't play at the Joe's anymore, so I just figured- no offense- I just thought you had stopped playing " he defended himself

" it's- alright. I did stopped playing there. I picked up an year or two ago.. I'm learning cello now " harry frowned

" that's interesting" draco replied " why is the man by the bar looking at me like he can kill me right now?"

" oh- that- random guy. He approached me " harry shrugged

" still don't like random strangers coming upto you then ?" Draco smiled lightly at slight recollections from the past

" it's creepy sometimes. That man had been staring at me for like 30 Minutes' and when he did finally approach I gave him sarcastic replies, he didn't get it " harry rolled his eyes

" well not everyone can sense your sarcasm potter " draco chuckled

" and I'm glad to have people who do " harry added.

Draco and harry nodded at each other, Falling at loss of words, cautiously choosing their next words.

" yo-"

" yo- "

They chuckled at the moment, draco egging harry to go on first.

" you here with someone then?" Harry finally asked the question he'd be dying to ask.

" no, solo " draco raised his glass as if it was funny " you ?"

" oh no, got no one " harry pressed his lips in a thin line, his hands sliding down his pocket.

Draco nodded understandably.

" dance ?" Harry suddenly asked, nervously.

" wh-"

" there's music, there's a place.. what say a dance ?" Harry offered his hand

Even in a no, draco was reaching for Harry's hand's involuntarily, not touching yet.

" i- I haven't danced in ages" draco plead

" what is dance anyways draco- just Moving feets-"

" just moving feets-"

They simultaneously responded. Draco froze suddenly. He thought harry would forget, he thought he'd forget but he hadn't.

" so?" Harry raised his eyes expectedly.

Draco thought for a moment before giving in and holding Harry's hand.

" the first step wasn't so hard, now was it ?" Harry chuckled as he dragged him to the stage and attaining one corner to dance in.

" it's a couple's song ?"

" we could do hip hop dance if you'd like but that would definitely draw attention and I'm pretty sure neither of us are looking for that " harry shrugged his shoulders in a suggestion.

Draco's expression changed from worried to something that said seriously, you're ridiculous.

Smiling harry got hold of one of draco's hand and fitted other one over his waist, maintaining a valid distance. Draco however stepped a little closer.

In the little dance motions harry allowed himself to stare at draco and to harry He still seemed as if the Angels had carved him themselves, he still looked as mighty as ever, as elegant as ever, harry bet his eyes crinkled when he laughed loudly even judging by the small faint wrinkles at the side of his eyes, His cheek bones highlighted as though they had purposely been made that way only they weren't. His lips looked plump, like they'd just been kissing a plum, his hair maybe a bit longer than harry remebered but it suited him. He was still him, yet everything seemed so different.

As if Draco understood what harry was doing, he looked away, the pit In his stomachs growing larger.

" don't do it "

" do what ?" Harry asked spinning draco, then pulling him in again, forcing draco to look at harry.

" you're doing this on purpose " draco couldn't resist those eyes, he never could and he was a failed man to resist them.

" I'm doing what ?" Harry asked as if innocent.

Draco closed his eyes, only to open them again as the song softly tuned into another. Shaking his head, draco looked away.

" I'm doing what draco ?" Harry tilted his head at draco.

Draco allowed himself to gaze at him again, his eyes immediately locking with those green eyes, they were still irresistible.

" we- I can't do this again " draco sighed heavily. Harry pulled draco a little further In, then spinning him around again. This time though draco tripped a little and harry saved him again. Like he always had.

" why ?" Harry asked as they remained still.

" because we can't " draco answered and resumed dancing after taking position.

" we were kids back then. We didn't know what we wanted, what we said, what we even did, we were foolish draco" harry countered.

" and it didn't work then and so it wouldn't now " Draco firmly stood his ground.

Harry's eyes glimmered as the last of hopes died by seconds " you would never even want to try then?"

" we've tried and we failed-"

" we were stupid draco. I was stupid to let you go, you were stupid enough to let me go too. You can't look me In the eye and tell me for once, you never thought of trying again " harry's voice trembled lightly even after his desperate attempts to sound stern.

" I- it doesn't matter.. Its in the past and I suggest you think of it as a past too " draco swallowed.

Harry shook his head, looking away at the lights at far distance " I can't pretend to forget it even if you can. I was stupid to never call you back, I was and I'm paying my debts"

" yeah you are, how exactly ? " Draco furiously counter backed, his eyes shining in anticipation.

" by you burning my letters. Seeing you all night, seeing you date someone else after me, with you stopping to come at Joe's, by staying late every night, regretting " harry replied equally furiously.

" it doesn't fix everything-"

" and it didn't fix when you kissed theo right in front of me even though you knew I was ready to come out. You can never pin all of this on me. It was as equally your fault as mine " harry firmly said as he harshly spinned draco, and bringing him close enough that he could kiss him, but didn't.

" it doesn't matter anymore- it's the past and I've grown out of it. I've forgiven you long time ago, like any mature Person and I've moved on with life " draco replied looking down at Harry's lip, not moving an inch further.

" you've moved on from me then ?" Harry asked stepping back to get a better look at draco, resuming soft motions.

" I have " Draco replied looking anywhere but harry

It was as if Harry's heart was shattering little by little, like a glass doll was slowly falling and it was just about to hit the surface. He spoke no more but only danced as he regretted his lost chances.

" this song " draco sighed, instantly recognising it.

" this song will end right in 1 minute and you know it too. When it ends I will walk away draco, and you don't stop me, I'll never come back and beg for your forgiveness. I'll know that this song is no longer your favorite, that you don't miss me, thay you don't wish to be with me, that you have after all given up. I'll know you've moved on like you claim you have, I'll know you don't love me anymore, like you say you don't and I'll go " harry whispered and gave draco a last spin, his movements softening than before. That glass doll was locked in a rest state, paused from Falling and all it would take to shatter would be harry walking away and draco letting him. The tunes smoothered down just like Harry's hush movements. And the song finally stopped with the soft roughened end of the vinyl stopping playing on the record player. Harry for one last time looked draco, who didn't look at harry. He couldn't.

" goodbye draco " harry whispered as the glimmer of his tear fell down his cheek and he turned around to walk away, the glass doll finally-

" I don't- stop- wait " draco impatiently Turned harry around. His eyes swimming with the horrors of a broken heart, his lips trembling in fear of losing, again.

" why? After all this time why do you want to try again ?" Draco asked,his voice quivering softly

" because- I don't want to feel this pain anymore like you do " harry sighed as he stepped closer to draco, a sense of cherish running down his body knowing draco had stopped him.

" we never worked out. We fought a lot harry. We hurt each other. We kept ourselves a secret. We called each other things. Give me one reason why we should do it against ? Give me one reason worth it to come back for you ?"

" Because I'm not who I used to be, you're not who you used to be. Because I'd much rather never kiss anybody than not being kissed by you. Because I'd rather sleep with no moon or the stars than living a life knowing you're not by my side. Because I was stupid to let you go. Because I regret losing the only good thing in my life. Because despite everything we were good together. Because in every poem, it's your voice I hear. Because in every eyes, I look for you. Because In every echo I hear your voice. Because there's no home without you. Because I want to suffer but I want to suffer with you. Because if there was one person I would fly to the moon and to the entire galaxy, its you. Because I've lost you once and I can't do it again. Because I want to play my every song to no one but you. Because I knew you'd come today and this would be my last chance. Because the way we met again was special and anyone who reaches to me in a bar, it's unworthy. Because I'll miss you forever with every core, nerve of my body if I don't have you. Because I love you, Always have and Always will. Because anatomically, mentally, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually I'm all yours and I want to be no one else's "

" and I'd let you braid my hair like you always wanted, everyday " Harry shrugged as though it was nothing but he was in tears.

Draco's face quipped with a little side smile as tears emerged in his eyes, those were happy tears and he was glad.

" you had me at braiding your hair " draco chuckled.

Harry chuckled too, crying but chuckling.

" wow, even my vows were not that good " they heard Blaise retort in between their moment.

Harry shut off his eyes " you're unbelievable Blaise "

" if you don't kiss him, I will draco" Blaise's new wife added

" you ruined the moment guys " harry quipped, wiping off his tears.

Draco chuckled Shaking his head, pulling harry closer by his collar " you're a fucking menace" and kissed harry over the lips.

The fireworks suddenly went off but they cared no less for the world right now. They were entailed in their moment of reunion, of casting themselves back together, of finally returning to each other, finally returning home. Their love was no love written in the stars or to be found in any divinations or prophecies, their love was a tragic love story, that they had written filled with pain, suffering, betrayal, heart break and happy ending. No two people had ever been more perfect for each other than them, at least that's what people said afterwards.

_______________________________

Harry was sat on the ground, Involved with depths into a Disney movie and draco sat behind him over the couch.

" hair tie harry " draco ordered. Without breaking eye contact, harry gave draco the hair tie and he plunged his hair into 2 thin french side braids he had Always liked so much.

" let me see " draco said. Harry only turned for a glimpse before turning around to see the movie again.

" harry " draco sternly commanded. Harry paused the movie and then turned around to give draco the final view.

" mia bella Amare ( my beautiful love ) " Draco cheekily smiled as he leaned down and kissed harry the nose. He moved back a little to see harry furiously blushing. Grinning draco pushed a strand of Harry's fallen out hair behind his ear.

" I love you " harry whispered as he craned upward to kiss his boyfriend.

" I know " draco murmured as he kissed harry over the lips.

" now do mine " draco said in the kiss and immediately jumped down to the ground, harry shifting to the couch.

And that was their typical Sunday.

Or had it always been fate? A destiny ?

I'm sorry for my inability to recently provide individual/ uncombined requests. I've been a bit swamped with requests.

Requests open

Day 42- little things | Day 44-how to get away with murder |

Hey @sorry-i-ship-drarry

I love all your drabbles / shortfics. They give one of my serotonin shots of my day😭❤️😍

Can you please do prompt no.12 - pushing a strand of hair behind the ear?

You can clearly see I'm a simp for these gestures. And can't wait to read it from your writing. 😍❤️

Lots of love,

And do not forget to take care of yourself amidst all these writing😊😊

Hey @thebusyfangirl I'm incredibly Thankful to you. I notice you reblogging my writings and my posts a lot and I very much appreciate it . Now as for the Prompt request , I have already done it before- draco's clever boyfriend .

Here's the masterlist to all the prompts I've already written.

However I would take a request of redoing the same prompt in a different way, if you want to. I'd very much enjoy redoing it.

Take care.

I like your writing so much !!

Can you please write something where Harry is sick and Draco takes care of him?

45. There's no me without you

Prompt- feeling their temperature | Thank you so much for requesting this, I tried to give my very best, however I'm pretty sure the ending didn't turn up that great.

| Harry is diagnosed with a terminal disease | ANGST | HURT COMFORT |

" you called for us ?" Draco asked as he sat down with harry in the chairs in front of the desk.

" how is my favourite couple doing ?" The healer asked with a gracious smile

" mind me, but it's sound's a bit- well- like there's some bad news " harry pointedly almost slightly worried.

The healer's head bowed, in disgrace of not being able to conceal " before I tell you this, please don't be mad. You know I'd do anything to help you as much as I can "

" you're scaring us Ms. Carnballer " draco's fingers automatically held Harry's hand in a tight grip unknowingly

She sighed, pushing the files towards the couple " after the accident of last week, you had required a full body scan and the results came in today "

" wh- what's does it say then ?" Draco's voice quivered, not even being able to read the words on the parchment

" it's my regret to inform you, harry suffers from a terminal disease, plaganeisis. It's somewhat very familiar to muggle..."

But harry was already falling. All the voices were fading and all his vision fading. He knew something was ought to go wrong sometime, but this soon, he didn't expect. His mind rapidly rushed to all the promises he would break, all the promises of spending his forever with draco, only his forever was now limited.

" Mr. Potter, are you listening ?"

" harry, honey " draco violently shook Harry's body on the chair which has gone into unconscious paralysis.

"huh?" Harry voiced

" I said, you're not so severe. But the disease is ought to spread. I- maybe you should take some time and relax yourself. Why don't I just talk to Mr. Malfoy right now ?" She asked sympathetically. Normally harry would've denied and requested to stay but his mind was spiralling into fading into consciousness to unconsciousness, so harry nodded and slowly left the room and waited outside with his thoughts.

Harry didn't talk to anyone properly for an entire week after that, even to his friends who stopped by his place to console him. It was as if the death seemed nearer than it already was. All he thought for days was about his numbered days and leaving draco so broken beyond his comprehension. If harry cared only Little about himself, he would sneak a peek at draco and stare at him looking out of the window, sadly until he'd turn to harry with a smile. It broke his heart to even think about draco after him. They'd only been together for 3 years, in which they had hurriedly married last year, but they had never regretted that decision until very this moment, harry wondered how would it be to let him go.

" I think you should break up with me and find yourself Someone who isn't dying " harry had said one day on the dinner table

Draco only looked at harry strangely, not responding or eating. Harry only remembered hearing draco's cries late in the night when he assumed harry was asleep. He wanted to make his pain stop, but how could he.

This was until harry met with the healer once again.

" harry, I need you to understand that your death would only be nearer if you're thinking it's near. Keeping yourself motivated right now would seem very hard right now but you have to understand that you're hurting other people around you with forcing them to leave you because you think it'd hurt less. I've told you this before and I'll tell you this again, you can prolong your life for as long as your body wants. If you're forcing yourself to surrender yourself to death, you'd be dead very soon but if you don't, you'd Maybe live another 10 years "

" it will hurt, I know. Leaving everything broken. But make the most of it right now,as much as you can. Draco needs you right now and so do you and you have to remember that " Ms. Carnballer softly smiled at harry from the opposite side. It was then when harry realised, he's not dead, not yet. He's still alive. He still is.

And that very night, harry entered the house with a cake, called over his close friends and spent his time, relished it, till he could. It was an improvement and his friends were very happy to see that but that didn't stop them from giving him a sympathies, pity hugs, hugs for longer than usual. For once harry didn't mind, even if it was somewhere Breaking him inside.

" what was all this ?" Draco furiously asked after everyone had left

" what ?"harry asked confused.

" what was the point of all this ? A reminder that you're dying soon ? " Draco's eyes glimmered with sad tears or anger, that was yet to be figured.

" draco-"

" no- you can't Just barge into the house with a damn cake and call over your friends and spend the night as if nothing has happened. Or tell me I should find someone new. do you even realise how horrid I felt when you told me to leave you and find someone who would never be anywhere equal to you and-" but then he broke down onto the chair behind him, heaving violently as he covered his mouth to not release the screams, the sound of pain.

Harry's heart broke to see Draco like that. In the process of turning on the switch, he forgot that if there was anyone in the world who would be most effected by Harry's death, it would be him. And harry had never understand, nor probably will understand how draco must be feeling.

Harry kneeled down in front of draco, his eyes swimming with tears leaking with water to pour. He took the hand that covered draco's lips and kissed them softly, leaving a droplet of tear over his fist.

" everything is not fine draco, it would probably not even be and we can't change that but now more than ever I need you and you need me. You more than me, this will probably be the last moments I spend with you and I don't want to spend that time fighting with you. I want us to fight together. You're right, I didn't realise how I was imposing on you to find Someone new without even thinking because I assumed it would be easier for both of us and now I clearly know it's not. I can't change what's about to happen love, but we can spend each and every moment making memories that will never leave you. I don't want to see you in pain, ever.. I love today and I will love you tomorrow and I will love you from my grave but we both need to understand that. Will you spend my numbered days with me ?" Harry's voice was soft as honey,as if he wanted to conceal both of them from the already bitterness of the situation but again that Infact what they should be doing.

Draco nodded sobbing, kissing harry for the first time in a while because harry allowed to.

" let's make it count, yeah ?" Draco sighed, theirs forehead against another

" yes " harry replied with closed eyes. Maybe it made it all better.

The next few months, harry's condition only became worse. He started losing weight like heavy bricks, his face sucking in, his fingers shaking even to pick up a cup, his eyes becoming home to sunken eyes with dark circles. Harry had lost that innocence on his face and metaphorically his eyes were losing their lively look and if even so they pretended everything was fine, they both sobbed when the other one wasn't around, draco crying more mostly because he felt helpless.

" you have to help me Ms. Carnballer, I can't- I don't want to lose him. I'd much rather die than lose harry. He's the only thing in my life that makes sense. Please- please I beg you " draco sobbed harshly, pleading, begging.

" it's my immense regret-"

" I don't need sympathies. I need to help harry. I don't want him to die. There must be something, anything we can do to save him. please, I'm literally begging " draco cried.

Ms. Carnballer leaned into her chair, sighing. It was painful to see draco like this, even for her even though she saw people like that everyday but none so desperate like him. Draco looked like he hadn't slept for days, he hadn't, he hadn't eaten properly. In taking care of harry, he had forgotten to take care of his own self. That wasn't his priority.

" I will tell you truth draco, the researches are in progress. There's no cure as for now but if I must say, there must be cure. Nature would never create that It can't find a cure to. I can't promise how Long it will take to find a cure, I hope soon but all I can give you right now is hope. I can prescribe stronger medicines but that's the most I can help "

And with that Draco's helplessly and angrily went home, finding harry out of the bed.

" harry, you're not supposed to get up" draco signed as he put his bags on table, roaming around to find harry. And he did find harry sitting by the window.

" how are you feeling ?" Draco asked as he went closer to harry

" do you want me to tell you the truth or the same lie I tell you each day " harry had been crying and draco knew this by his rough voice.

Draco sighed " let's get you back into the bed. I'll make the dinner-"

" no. Draco. I'm tired. I'm tired of seeing you tiredly coming home each day, making dinner for me, telling me everything will be fine one day when you and I both know it won't be. Stop wasting your time on me. I'm meant to die and I will die " harry told Draco nonchalantly

" wh- I thought we had this conversation and we were done with this Absurdity " draco furiously threw his hands in the air.

Harry turned to Draco, stepping down from the window, standing still.

" you are wasting your life draco. I can't see that. In taking care of me look what have you done to your own self. When was even the last time you shaved or ate a proper dinner or went out with friends or just watched a movie and fell asleep on the couch without a care in the world. You think I don't watch you. I watch you like a hawk draco and I can't let you do this to yourself. This is brutal, harsh, painful to even watch " harry threw

" painful?" Draco scoffed " what do you know about pain harry. You tell me you don't want to hurt me, that you can't see me in pain but everyday you reach new heights of hurting me. It's hurts me everyday to watch you lose yourself little by little. It's brutal and harsh that after everything you will leave me alone to spend the rest of my life alone. I miss being myself but now all I think of is how can i take your pain away. It physically hurts me that I can't do anything to save you. It's cruel and brutal of the world to take you away from me when you're the Only thing that makes me want to live another day and when you're gone, how would I even possibly survive. I cry nights away because I can't stop your pain. After everything you've been through in your life, this isn't what you deserve and it's hurts me to every single core of my soul, my body and my heart. I'd much rather prefer death right now " draco yelled crying.

" If I am such a burden draco, please for the love of Merlin leav-" but harry had started coughing harshly. His body doubled over and in instincts, draco helped him to the couch and fetched water, calming his throat immediately.

Draco started crying rapidly, it was as if large crystal balls were dripping down his eyes and they didn't cease at all " I don't want to fight you. I don't- but I'm so hurt. I'm in pian harry, Maybe less than you but it's just- I can't lose you" draco took Harry's hands in how own, drawing circles over his hand.

" I know draco, I know. I wanted to-"

" no harry. It should be me consoling you yet everytime its you consoling me. There is so much wrong with this, but I don't want to console you because I can't stand losing you. I won't survive a day without you harry. I can't. I don't want to " draco sobbed. Harry gave Draco a sad smile, engulfing draco into a hug and kissing the top of his head.

" well I am Always the better one so " and draco finally chuckled, for the first time in months.

It occurred him that night when harry had fallen asleep, after checking his temperature for any signs that if nobody is going to help save harry, draco will do it himself.

And that very night he apparated to Hermione's place.

" I need help "

" about time " Hermione smirked as she led him into her study and they discussed all night about Harry's condition, anatomically the part of his body affected the worst and how can the spread possibly be stopped. Until Draco disapparated for the first time relieved before harry woke up.

It was another 1 month of brainstorming when one night, Hermione found it.

" it's the bone marrow "

" what ?" Draco confusedly asked

" the spread is only through his blood, right ? And bone marrow is the major manufacturer of helper stem cells in the body that would bring up his immunity. It's not the problem with the cells draco, its the bone marrow. Because harry is sickening, the strength of the production of-"

" the helper cells is reducing and if we just know how to fix that then the leukocytes and his platelets count would increase, thereby his body can fight itself "

" yes "

They both remained silent for a long time, until Hermione finally called Madame pomfrey from ages ago knowing she was the Only one who still performed old school magic for treatment of some very vital disease.

" Hermione, remember in second year when harry broke his arm ?" Draco asked suddenly

" what ? Of course "

" remember gilderoy instead of fixing Harry's arm, basically vanished his bone ?"

" of course. If we could reintroduce finer bone marrow-"

" without the aftermath of graft, harry would become healthy because his body will not reject it "

" call ms. Carnballer immediately "

And Ms. Carnballer agreed .

" of course, it was the muggle theory we failed to apply " ms. Carnballer said In a bit suspicious voice

" but ?" Both of them asked

" it seems too easy. I mean no wonder it might be the solution to it but if just seems so simple. If it were that simple, why couldn't wizards had thought of it before? It just seems as if this will have some drawback "

And then it hit them, it was a little too easy. After discussing, draco headed home with Ms. Carnballer telling him to wait for until she was sure of it.

Only time ran out. Draco was half an hour late than usual today and harry hadn't even woken up, even though he would've normally woken up..

Draco kneeled down next to harry, trying to wake him but harry gave no response. He was still breathing but his heartbeat was falling down little by little. In between panic attack, draco immediately dialled up Ron and Hermione.

" we need to immediately go to st. Mungo's"

And they didn't need more notice. They immediate disapparated to their place with Ron warming up the car and Hermione helping carry harry to the car.

" it will be fine. Everything will be fine " Hermione reassured him but draco had lost every shred of his sanity and was dripping all wet with tears.

" I can't lose him Hermione " draco cried as he held harry closely to himself with Ron almost flying the car

" you won't draco. He's a fighter " Ron assured.

Nodding, draco held harry more firmly to himself, whispering " I love you " and " please don't leave me " In Harry's ear. Ron and Hermione only shared looks.

______________________________

" would you at least try ? " Draco begged Ms. Carnballer

" I-"

" please. It have. 88% chances of Saving harry. Please Ms. Carnballer " Hermione countered.

Ms. Carnballer sighed " the hospital won't be responsible for anything that could go wrong, you must know that "

Draco froze. Anything that could go wrong. Those word's screamed in his head but then there was the faint memory running alongside in his head " it's us against the world. We will try till the end "

" do it " draco confirmed. Hermione looked at him for any hesitation. Met with none, she agreed.

He will not lose harry. He will not.. he can't ?

2 hours in the ward, Ms.carnballer finally came out..

" so ?" Draco asked worried out of his mind

" I- regret- harry is suffering from amnesia as of now " she told sighing heavily

" what do you mean amnesia ? It can't be possible" draco wanted to pound on her but ron held him back.

" it's anterograde. He knows everyone, mostly , but some memories might be lost " she weakly replied

Draco almost fell into Ron's grasp, his tears forming instantly

" can I meet him?"

" you can but don't try to pressurise him or anything. I request you "

Draco heavily nodded, biting off his lip in order to release the horrendous scream boiling inside him.

They all followed into the ward was in. Harry was staring out of the window when Draco approached him a little closer.

" harry ?" Draco asked softly, controlling his tears.

" malfoy ?" Harry turned his head with a frown to draco. It was all it took for draco to understand, he didn't remember them..but he wanted to try.

" you don't remember us?" He asked

" what do you mean ?" Harry asked.

Draco immediately turned around to ron and Hermione, who consoled him.

" he doesn't remember us" draco weeped.

" oh goodness I didn't expect you'd cry like a baby " harry chuckled

Frowning In tears draco turned around " what ?" He sniffed

" I could forget you, like you'd let me " harry raises an eyebrow at Draco comically

" what do you mean? She just told me you got amnesia- I don't believe you "

" alright. I got married to you last year on 31st October, at Malfoy manor. Ring a bell " harry quipped

" but she just- you told her to lie? Didn't you ?" Draco narrowed his eyes at harry

" of course. It was fun " harry laughed softly

" you fucking arsehole. You almost gave me heart attack " draco sneered

" but it didn't happen, so we're all good " harry shrugged

" tell me I can break his face " draco looked at Ron

" I'd agree with you unless he looked like this and unless I knew about this " Ron shrugged

" Ron!!! I wanted to say that " Hermione hit him on the shoulder

" you were in on this ?" Draco looked back and forth between both.

" you'd think otherwise. Of course we were in on it. Harry I'd give you a 2.5 for acting. That was shit " Ron raised an eyebrow at harry

" you tell me that when your wife cries like a damn baby " harry rolled his eyes

" I don't understand?" Draco's face filled with confusion after confusion.

Ron and Hermione shared a look before Hermione spoke up " let harry explain, we'll wait outside until your little war would be over "

And they walked out.

" come and sit " harry patted next to him, making some space for him.

In all anger draco narrowed his eyes at harry but at the same time he couldn't be more glad to be with this harry again "you better have a nice explanation " and sat down next to harry on the bed.

" so this happened last week. I woke up in the middle of night and I wanted to look for you but I couldn't find you, I assumed you must've gotten busy with something but when the next night same thing happened, I talked with Ron and Hermione about that. I was really worried for you and I just wanted to know if you were okay. I initially went to them to talk to them about taking care of you, looking after you mostly when I'm gone and told them the whole disappearance thing. It was then Hermione told me that you were trying to look for a cure. I can't tell you how proud I was and am of you. I really am. But you were doing it secretly and I wanted to maintain that until last night, Hermione, rang me and told me that you've got it. And you fell asleep outside for a while, great thing to do while you're husband is in a ward fighting death. They came in and asked for my approval on whatever it was that you guys came up with, of course it would have some drawbacks as Ms. Carnballer said but I wanted to go through with it just as much as you-"

" you did ?"

Harry frowned, taking draco's hands in his own " draco, it's not my choice to die. But if i were given one, I'd never want to die and leave you. There no you without me, nor me without you. Of course the amnesia idea was Mine to scare you. Hermione called it dumb "

" it was dumb " Draco chuckled softly

" look at me draco " and he did

" I've never regretted anything in my life than these last few months because of the pain you've suffered because of me. Even if I were to die Draco, I- I don't know what Would've happened. I'm really sorry for everything-"

" hey, you don't have to apologise. Remember I promised to take you in sicknesses and in health. It doesn't matter harry whatever happens, I'd always take care of you. I just can't lose you. These last few months had been terrible and I never want to go through something like that ever again " draco smiled shyly as he kissed Harry's hands in his own.

" and he won't" a voice interjected behind them..

" ms. Carnballer ?" Draco turned slightly to get a good look of her

" you've fought valiantly harry. The cure that your husband and miss Granger came up with had Little to no side effects, which probably won't show up until very late in life "

" what sort of side effects ?" Draco asked

" you don't have to worry about the disease falling back in again. Side effects however may include slight pain for over a couple of months in the bones and probably anemia, tiredness. You'll have a bit of fitness problem at some point in your life harry. You will have to look out for any illness for the next two years very carefully though. And that's about it "

Harry and Draco looked at each other in relief..

" we did it then ?" Draco smiled

" you did it " harry diligently said

" you've officially fought death, hm, let me see my record, 6 times. That should go in the Guinness world book record " Ron joked as they walked in after that

And the room again filled with laughter.

In the end some fights are worth fighting for.

It is my immense regret for being so incredibly late at delivering the request this late for the inability to probably provide what you expected. Also regretful for not being able to do a stand alone prompt. (Also plaganeisis is no disease). Happy reading. I tried my best.

46.Old habits

Prompt used- linking arm with other | Implied smut | under editing | ENEMIES TO LOVER |

It was an unbelievable truth or so harry liked to believe as Ron said it every once in a while

" old habits die hard "

It was a Muggle saying that something's possibly never changes or if so changes, the progress of change is excruciatingly slow. For harry that old habit seemed to be Draco. 

He sometimes liked to blame it over other people, mostly draco like blaming him for being so goddamn confident, so brilliantly flawless, eternally glorious, mind exhaustingly smart, his gorgeous stupid grin and those steely grey eyes that literally mocked him everytime, his oh so perfectly heart throbing smile, his beautiful hair, his sharp jawline, his heart shaped rosy lips, his elegant walk like he always owned the goddamn room he entered, the heart wrenching smirk he always had on and the hand like crafted him and little of himself to be thinking of draco, that happened less often.

But above all, Draco was a competitive ass and that screwed up with Harry more than he'd like to admit.

Harry had almost everything he ever wanted, perfect friends, A family who treated him like his own, admirers who for obvious reasons fainted whenever he smiled at them, a secure job at the DMLE, a good manor under him, people who he have dated before and left for unknown reasons, had people who loved him, and he was rich. There was possibly nothing he could’ve ever wanted, except that Draco Malfoy shook him to the very last of his core. He loathed how bloody perfect Draco was with all his stupid fluent conversations that haunted Harry in the night in ways he'd never admit. He had noticed draco making conversations with people at almost every event and people just happen to be fanning over him. But there was nothing more harry despised about Draco was the fact that he was overly competitive, he was even better at comebacks than harry himself and he disliked it strongly.

If Harry could only just know his secret because there was no bloody way Draco was naturally perfect. Something went abundantly wrong or right in the time Draco went into isolation in travelling mostly, somehow when he came back, he was a changed man and suddenly everyone liked him, even if sometimes people bitched behind his back. When he returned he was still someone who wore a suit without a reason but now when he wore, the world became his kingdom and he owned every inch of it.

Obviously Harry was no less, he too has grown strongly opinionated, matured vastly, outgrown his body and was definitely more fitter. He was no man for attention but if there was one person who gave no attention to him, was Draco and it disturbed every inch of the blood that flowed in him.

It was a one on one competition and Harry wasn't giving in until he knew Draco's secret or at least had his attention.

And the answer just happen to arrive at his doorsteps one Sunday morning from work.

" Ministry masquerade " Harry raised an eyebrow as he went through the details of the masquerade/ masked ball held by the ministry for the donation to mental awareness center recently developed.

Harry's face pulled into a satisfied smirk when he realised that every member was supposed to have an anonymous partner, chosen by the ministry themselves and to choose partner had to pick up the card of a single number and the numbered member would be theirs for the dance.

It was no surprise that in clever ways, Harry found out that Draco malfoy was infact one of the ministry chosen numbered member. It seemed sort of like an auction of People, like to be sold but then again, the numbered member was in full right to deny the chosen person. And so harry made up his mind to become partner only with the one with the fanciest mask with steely grey eyes and the lips he knew so well.

When the night of the masquerade came, Harry dressed up in his finest maroon suit and for the night only wore contacts. He couldn't walk in without knowing he'd got his eyes hooked. Upon arrival at the masquerade, Harry and Ron split up and downed to choose partner for the dance.

" I'm sorry sir but you cannot chose a male partner" the guy alloting the numbered card said

" I'm sorry but are you implying homophobia in an event I'm contributing because your society established hetero self can't bear the homosexuals who wish to dance " harry raised his eyebrows in a way of exerting power.

" o- of - c-course not, sir. You may take anyone you want- i- apologize " the guy stuttered and with shaking hands offered a card.

" little help, I want to know which of the men here have worn the finest mask, probably dressed in a relatively expensive, fine suit, probably olive green ?" Harry asked

" t- that's a confidential info- no matter. I can look up the name if you'd like that?" The guy retreated

" malfoy " harry whispered.

The guy looked up into the register and gave Harry the number 12.

" you're a lovely guy " harry grinned and left in search of 12. Hopefully it would be malfoy as he said.

And there he was, standing amongst the corner of the room with the numbered people waiting to be asked for a dance. Let's say harry wasn't so subtle in approaching him because he definitely caught his eye and as if he already knew, he stood up straight, fixed up his suit, with his perfect smirk lined up naturally.

" may I ?" Harry asked as he offered his arm

" as it may " he replied and linked his arms with those of Harry.

" do you even realize how long I had to wait and how many rejections I had to do in order for you to finally approach " Draco smirked as they stepped onto the dance floor and took in the position for the mandatory tango mixed couple dance.

" why didn't you just ask me for dance then?" Harry asked as they positioned their palms facing each other before in a swift movement, they swung their arms over each others waist and back.

" what's the fun in that then, potter " Draco smirked as he threw his head back and again pressed his face close to that of Harry's.

" besides think it should've been you asking me dance, you knew I was going to be one of the numbered people. There's no reason to pretend that you didn't absolutely wanted to so desperately go with me tonight" Draco raised his eyebrows, his eyes still mocking harry as he quickly spun around, pulling him in quickly inside.

" desperate is a strong word for Someone who rejected plenty before me. I'd say the tables are turned" harry mocked. It obviously didn't end well Because Draco immediately took the lead and spun harry around fast.

" I just wanted to see how you'd do, much to my disappointment, you're doing fine " Draco mocked, swaying his hips with His hands over Harry's side, sensually approaching his back.

" you underestimate Me Malfoy " harry breathed

" of course I do " Draco countered chuckling. The people around them had however noticed the little dance battle between them for taking the lead. It was sort of toxic to be so addictive to watch them dance, but there was no doubt that they both has came for other reasons than to compete each other.

"so you are petty "harry replied with a smug, tapping his foot in the floor, Draco doing the same. They revolved around a little, Harry's back pressed against the front of Draco.

" says who can't stand me being better than you " Draco Whispered in Harry's ear before slowly turning him around so harry was facing him and they revolved again.

" you're nowhere close to as good as I am, you're petty because you can't bear the idea of me being better than you " harry smirked

" I don't need to be in your level potter. You're so far underneath my level " Draco winked as spun around exchanging partners with next couple.

Harry sneered then pulled back malfoy under his lead again " you're right you know, you're not on my level because you don't even lie anywhere close to my category "

" Honey, I'm the elite category " he tilted his head as they slowed down their fast pace.

" elite and you ? That's a Funny combination " harry snickered

" admit it Harry, you only hate me because you know I don't look at you the way you want me to. You know I'm right " Harry could've sworn he froze, but he didn't. He danced wordlessly until Draco shook his head with a little smirk.

" I'd say you're funny right now "

Harry raised his eyebrows in a mockery " so if you know that, that means you pay me attention. Not so subtle yourself malfoy "

It was Draco's tun to be silent.

" I don't want your attention " harry said as he slowly moved to the music

" you're right " Draco smugly said, gaining back his confidence " you need my attention"

" as if " harry scoffed as the beats picked up and they started moving relatively faster.

" if it's not, then why are you dancing with me out of everyone else? I'm sure that's not just out of your dislikes for me " Draco impressively pointed

" I want to know your secret. What happened to the scared you of 8th year? I see you, I know you. You can't be confident all the time ? What is it , your secret ?" Harry cut to the Chase without lingering much over it.

For the first time, Draco was actually surprised " you think I'm not always confident, that I'm not who i am ?"

" I don't " Harry sternly answered.

Unfortunately, the music was fading.

" well harry...my secret lies with me " and with a wink Draco left.

But he wanted to be followed, harry knew better because otherwise he'd never look over his shoulder. Like a puppy harry too followed until he discovered they were approaching Draco's office and when Draco entered his office, he left the door open for Harry to walk in.

" followed like a puppy " he heard a hiss before the door shut and harry was immediately pressed against the door.

" bought here to seduce me, is that it ?" Harry breathed as Draco stood incredibly close.

" is it working ?" Draco whispered in Harry's ear.

Fuck, it was.

" you'd think " but harry scoffed.

" guess we'll have to try harder " harry couldn't assume the look Draco's face held because of the dark but he sure felt,one of Draco's leg between Harry's. His breath fanning over Harry's neck as Draco's hand found the front of Harry's coat and unbuttoned it.

" already on undressing me ?" Harry raised an eyebrow despite feeling entirely hopeless and desperate.

" I undress you everyday potter, just like you do me, don't you ?" Draco clicked as his lips almost touched Harry's jaw

" may I ?"

Harry was confused for a moment before he realised in the cold exterior, Draco was asking for consent. Harry nodded.

" now, don't you Harry ?" Draco kissed Harry's jaw seductively

" I don't " Harry's Voice quivered lightly from the sensual touches.

" you don't ?" Draco mocked as he pushed open the top button of Harry's shirt, his lips moving along his jaw.

" I don't " harry tried more sternly this time..

Draco hummed " you wanted to know my secret, right ? Well that won't happen until you tell me truth " Draco clicked softly biting Harry's earlobe.

Harry bit his lip fighting a moan " I'm not that desperate "

" seems otherwise " Draco hummed as he moved along Harry's neck. Instinctively Harry's hand pressed against Draco's back pulling him closer.

" not desperate, my ass " Draco scoffed as he slowly but softly gave Harry the little mark under the collar of his shirt.

Harry groaned in pleasure, he hated to admit he was enjoying it but then again, perhaps this was all he ever wanted. One night with Draco malfoy.

" I'm a man of sober words potter, words in my head, over my lips. I won't lie unless necessary and right now, i will not lie when I say I have fantasied about this for very long " Draco whispered as his fingers slowly traced Harry's other side of the jaw , looking into Harry's eyes.

" why didn't you take opportunities before ?" Harry breathed biting his lip.

" I let my man reach the brim but you Harry, you're something. You didn't cave. Shame you are tonight " and with that Draco was the one pressed against the door.

" take criticism well, now don't you ?" Draco chuckled.

Harry pinned Draco's wrist softly on the door, Whispering in Draco ears

"oh I take criticism but dominance? There's only one Dominant here and that would be me, brace yourself, you are going to live your fantasies tonight Draco "

With a moan, they shifted to the table, tumbling everything down as the night dissolved into heavy makeouts, short breath's, clothes on the floor and moans that definitely left the room and several secrets revealed in desperate groans.

I tried my best at delivering the idea, however feel highly mistaken rn. Under editing.
