Once a Cheater always a Cheater p.t 2

It's been a week since Harry broke up with Draco and he doesn't regret it one bit, it still does hurt though but he managed. Draco, on the other hand, was regretting his life choices, he should've not done what he already did. He'd done this twice now and he expected Harry to forgive him but oh boy that's not how it went.

He has been trying to think of a way to apologise to Harry sincerely, but nothing seems to come in mind. Don't get me wrong but he still likes Harry madly but after what he did, he doesn't know if Harry still feels the same way. Whenever they walk past each other Harry suddenly shifts further away from him and whenever they would lock eyes, he would immediately look away in a matter of time. Draco seems to notice in the depths of those bright green eyes there was some sort of sadness and regret lingering.

Draco felt guilt wash over him as he kept noticing those little things, He wanted to apologise to Harry but he doesn't know how and when.

Harry, however, has been having mixed feelings lately, he doesn't quite seem to comprehend what he's feeling about Draco. He did break up with him which felt right but at the same time, it doesn't. The blond git really did deserve it though but was it right? Should've he done another way to break them up? It was all too much inside his head and to the point, he was kind of regretting it.

Ron and Hermione have been a great help to him, moving on from Draco. He still did love him but he knew it was time to let go of those feelings and just focus on the journey ahead of him.

It was a fine afternoon, classes were done for the day and the golden trio was walking down a hall to head to Gryffindor tower.

"Uh, Hey guys?" Harry spoke, getting Hermione and Ron's attention.

"Yes?"

"I forgot something back at the library, I'll just go get it." Harry lied, the two nodded and he began making his way to wherever he's going. The truth is, he just wanted to be alone for a bit but he doesn't know the right words to tell his friends, the thought of upsetting them made him feel bad as the two kind of wanted to always be by his side after what had happened between him and Draco.

He decided to just go to the ROR and gather his thoughts there, he wanted to have some alone time once in a while.

Whilst making his way there the inevitable happened, somehow he was dragged into a corner by the none other Draco Malfoy. Now students couldn't see them in that hidden corner.

He quickly pulled his wrist away from Draco's grip and Draco began clearing his throat, Harry staring at him, confused as ever.

"I-i wanted to tell you that─" He was quickly shushed by Harry.

"If you're gonna apologise, then just don't do it with words," Harry spoke, firmly and a light blush creeping it's way to his cheeks.

Draco eyed him suspiciously before getting on to what he had just said and a smirk curled into his lips.

"Is that so?" He said teasingly which made Harry flush.

"No! It's not like that!" Harry said a bit angrily and Draco got flustered by embarrassment.

"Oh... sorry." Draco apologised nervously as he scratched his nape, the thought of awkwardness filling the air.

After a long period of awkward silence, Harry spoke up.

"I don't wanna hear your apology yet. It doesn't seem your sincere about it." Harry said sternly and Draco gulped, was the blond really that stone-hearted?

"I wanna hear it if you really mean it." And with that, he strutted away, leaving Draco alone in his thoughts. He didn't think about it furthermore from the past couple of days and decided to just apologise to Harry if he had the chance and to make the pang in his heart disappear but that was not the case, Harry wanted a deeply sincere apology.

He went back to the dungeons, his mind not cooperating with his movements as he thought about a better and a sincere apology to Harry, that way maybe Harry would forgive him although he doesn't know if he still wants to be with him but it's better than not saying what his heart truly wants to tell.

Two months have passed and Draco and Harry seem to get quite along with each other, No, Draco has not yet apologised but Harry felt that the apology was already the times they spent together during these past couple of weeks with his friends and him. Now he doesn't need to hear anything from Draco as his actions were great enough, though unruly feelings were still creeping upon them whenever they felt self-conscious with each other.

Draco often finds himself staring at Harry, lovingly but quickly putting it aside, knowing that Harry probably doesn't even feel the same way anymore.

Harry sometimes caught him staring at him in the corner of his eye and couldn't help but feel self-conscious, those grey eyes were piercing through his body and he shivered at the thought.

Now they were hanging out at a nearby lake, not far from Hagrid's hut, along with their friends. They got along with each other pretty well these past couple of weeks, It's not like they're gonna spend their whole lives thrashing at each other.

Harry was caught off guard by Draco dragging him into the forest, as their friends were busy doing their own businesses and didn't notice they were gone.

Once they were out of their sights, Draco gently pushed Harry into the closest tree trunk to them.
He leaned closer, staring intently in those bright green eyes as Harry felt vulnerable by those piercing grey ones.

He knew what Draco was gonna do in a matter of time so he gave in. And before capturing his lips, Draco muttered a quick "sorry" and smashed his lips onto his.

It was sweet and passionate, nothing about it was sexual. Draco held Harry closer to him as Harry tangled his hands onto those blond locks, messing it a bit.

It soon came into an end, the two gasping for air before looking at each other's eyes lovingly.

"I'm sorry." Draco apologised sweetly and Harry just smiled softly at him.

"I know."
