It was hard enough trying to get away during the Christmas holidays. There weren't even that many people around. So why was it so hard? Well for one, Hermione basically wouldn't leave me alone for too long. Her and Ron stayed with me even though I told them that they didn't have to. Another reason is simply because I am the Harry Potter. Still, after 5 years, I get swarmed by people.

Don't worry I'll get back to the reason I've been trying to get away. First I think a bit of an explanation is needed. I started this year off certain something bad would happen. With the way Malfoy had been acting I was sure he was up to something. So I did the first thing that came to mind. I confronted him.

I had followed him into the girls abandoned bathroom and, to my surprise, he was crying. It made me more curious and I found myself walking towards him. My stupid foot just had to go and step in a puddle of water. Malfoy got defensive and looked like he was going to hex me.

*~*

"What are you doing here Potter?"

"I followed you." I shrugged not exactly sure about lying.

Malfoy's hand was shaking. "Why? So you can gloat?"

I stepped forward and Malfoy froze like a statue. I figured my best option was to be honest. I've honestly grown out of the bickering and fights. I haven't told anyone yet, but I actually fancy the usually stuck up blonde standing in front of me. It makes my heart ache to see him so distort.

"Actually. I followed you because I thought you were going to do something. I have nothing to gloat about." I tried to give him a friendly smile.

"Please. Perfect Potter has nothing to gloat about. As if." Malfoy snorted.

"Perfect?" I couldn't help the smile.

My mind somehow got stuck on that word alone. Malfoy didn't seem to pleased about that. He frowned and it looked like he was about to throw a hex at me. Every instinct told me to attack first, but what good would that do?

"W... Why aren't you going to defend yourself?" I heard Malfoy's voice break.

I shrugged. "I don't think you really want to hurt me. M... Draco I just... Well maybe if you want to talk..."

"Who are you and what have you done with Potter?"

"Draco it's me. I'm just tired of always fighting with you." I admitted.

Draco lowered his wand and nodded. "Same. How do I know you're telling the truth?"

I shrugged. "Well I'm not going for my wand. And I'm not trying to start a fight. I'm telling you the truth and... Well I stopped calling you Malfoy."

"Are you blushing Potter?" Draco stepped closer to me.

I hadn't realised how hot my cheeks had gotten until he mentioned it. Suddenly I was the one feeling like running away. Draco step closer still. I instinctively found myself stepping back. Every time he stepped closer I stepped back. It felt like hours had gone past and I swear we had walked right into the Great Hall. There was suddenly a wall behind me and I couldn't go anywhere.

"Potter! Are you okay?" Draco was smirking.

"F... Fine. I'm fine." I managed.

"Well then answer my question."

I blinked a few times. He asked me a question? I didn't even hear it. Shit now I was in trouble. My mind was racing and I didn't know what to say.

"Harry James Potter. At a loss for words?" Draco tisked. "I asked if... Well if you... Do you like anyone?"

Draco's sudden lack of confidence had me stunned. He was really close to me. His smirk was gone and he was staring at the ground. I didn't know if I should lie or not.

"Yeah. I like someone." I said. "I don't think he likes me back though."

*~*

It was from there that Draco and I started hanging out. In secret of course. It started as just being friends. We stopped fighting a lot. Sent encripted notes to each other. Hermione had started getting suspicious nearing the Christmas holidays. I think that's why she wanted to stay. Whatever her reasons were really I wasn't too bothered. Things were actually going great.

And then...

Draco cornered me... And kissed me.

"Took you long enough."

"Huh? Oh hi." I smiled.

"Daydreaming again?"

I shrugged. "I was just thinking about how this all happened. Don't judge me Draco."

Draco gasped. "I would never love. Just don't like waiting around."

"Sorry. So have you been practicing?"

"You tell me, love." Draco smirked.

"Not bad. You catch on fast." I smiled.

"Since I catch on fast, can we not practice any more for the rest of the holidays? I would like to actually just spend time with my boyfriend."

I couldn't help but blush. "Ammm sure Dray."

Saying no to Draco had become really hard for me. He was just so... You know. Draco stood up and walked over to me. I still hated the fact he was taller than me. Although it wasn't by much.

"Can my boyfriend stop daydreaming and give me some attention?"

"You have my undivided attention Dray. Now can you kiss me already or do I need to leave?"

Draco laughed and I swear I've never heard anything more beautiful. He kissed me and I felt like I was floating. My arms wrapped around his neck pulling him closer and deepening the kiss.

Tomorrow was Christmas and all I wanted was to spend the day with Draco. I couldn't do that though because then Hermione would start snooping around. I don't think I'm ready for them to know yet. What Draco and I have is great, but I don't know how anyone would react.

"Harry?"

"Yes Dray?"

"Are you... I mean are we..." Draco looked down at our hands. "Do you love me?"

The question shocked me. It also made me realise that I have never said that out loud. I know that Draco means a lot to me. I know I couldn't imagine anything being different.

"I only ask because. Well I love you Harry." Draco shifted and looked at me.

A small smile found it's way to my lips. "I love you too Draco. I wouldn't change this for anything in the world."

Draco smiled. I saw the worry leave his face and I felt a lot more relaxed. I hadn't realised that I had gotten tense. Being with Draco was making me a lot more aware of myself. Not that I had an issue with that.

"You're not mad with me are you?" I sighed.

"Harry, love, I understand. I'm not ready for people to know either."

I smiled a bit. "I love you, and I'm sorry I can't spend Christmas with you."
