A newfound friendship (A Drarry Story) (8th year Drarry)

Chapter 25 - The Unicorns

Draco's POV:
"Hello dear, I'm sorry to intrude," my mother says smirking. I groan putting my head in my hands, she isn't bloody sorry.
I glance over at Harry smiling at his bright red complexion.
"It's fine mother, is everything okay?"
"Hmm it's better now," she says smiling widely, "I was just calling because I had a visit from Severus this evening, he was in his portrait in drawing room one. He came to tell me that Harry put a fork in someone's eye."
"I didn't Narcissa, I promise. I only threatened to put a fork in someone's eye." I snigger at his words and he shoots me a frustrated look.
"Oh I see, well maybe Severus exaggerated the story, he said a lot of interesting things." Her eyes gleam knowingly and I groan putting my hand on Harry's thigh when I see his worried expression.
"Hmm I'm sure he did, I can't believe what a gossip he is, no wonder you get on so well."
"Now now, there's no need for that Draco, I just wanted to get the story straight," she teases still smirking wickedly.
"So what happened?"
"Some guys were saying some horrible things about Draco knowing he could hear them. I did try not to react for a very long time but I couldn't help it, I promise it was well deserved Narcissa," his tone is polite and he still looks slightly embarrassed.
"Yeah he pinned him to the table holding the fork to him, funny as he has a wand you'd think that would have been the natural reaction. He made him repeat his insults for everyone to hear and then he smashed his head on the table and made them all apologise to me. Ooo and then he cleared up all the mess with wandless, wordless magic and sat down to eat dessert like nothing happened." Harry widens his eyes at me and I grin rather happy with myself.
"Oh my boys! What were they saying to you Dragon?"
"No Narcissa, I'm sorry but it really isn't something a mother should hear about their child. But I promise you they deserved worse."
Mother looks at him curiosity before nodding, "thank you for always defending my Draco, I really appreciate it.
"No problem, It's an honour," I smile warmly at Harry leaning onto his arm.
"Ah well I will tell Severus that I've spoken to you both. I'm sure you were very busy. I will leave you too it." She winks at me and I sigh frustratedly.
"Harry dear, your mothers name was Lily wasn't it?" Harry nods at her. "And my name is Narcissa, from narcissus. How do you feel about those two flowers together?"
"Mother go away now, I do not want to have to swear at you," I snap glaring at her grin.
"Oh I'm sorry dear. Harry I'm sure you are desperate to mount my child again. Goodbye boys, think about what I said about the flowers." She winks at me again her face disappearing from the fire.
"Well that was mortifying," Harry groans putting his head in his hands.
"That's it I am locking her out of the floo network, she can't keep barging in like that."
"Aww you can't do that Dray, it's your mother. She's only trying to look out for you."
"She saw us kissing Harry, not just a kiss, a proper snog."
"I'm sorry Dray, but she was probably going to find out eventually. I mean if Snape had spoken to her already then she knew."
"Hmm I suppose, it's still horrible that she saw, she wasn't even horrified. She was excited." I lean into Harry's chest and he moves back in the sofa pulling my back to his chest and wrapping his arms around me.
"I like her idea about the flowers. I think it's a nice idea, flowers for our mothers," he says kissing the back of my head.
"Ugh not you too."
"I know I want to be with you for a very long time Draco but I do agree with you. Your mother moves ridiculously fast. I just think it is a nice flower idea."
I chuckle leaning back to look up at him.
"Well I think you are very sweet. But if there ever is a wedding one day. And I'm talking super far in the future, you are not letting my mother have her way. She is a control freak, I remember her spending a quarter of a million gallons on an 8th birthday party."
He laughs squeezing me gently, "so is that where you get both your flare for the dramatic and need to control. Oh and your frugality."
"Oi, very rude," I slap his thigh hard. We sit in comfortable silence Harry still holding me close.
I close my eyes resting my head on his chest, inhaling his scent deeply, it's nice to feel this happy and this comfortable.
"We should get to bed soon Dray, we have Care of magical creatures first thing tomorrow." I hum in response not opening my eyes and not wanting to move from my comfortable position.
"Tired angel?" I hum again nodding slightly.
"Come on then love, let's get you to bed." He slips out from underneath me picking me up bridal style with ease. He carries me to the bathroom sitting me next to the sink.
"Toothbrush." He hands me my toothbrush with toothpaste on it and I start to brush my teeth watching him him do the same. Once we have finished brushing our teeth, he puts our toothbrushes away and holds a warm flannel up to my face gently wiping.
"Do you want to shower love? Or just get straight to bed."
"Hmm I'll get a quick shower just to be more comfortable."
He kisses my forehead and heads out the bathroom.
I turn on the shower, quickly stepping inside. I exfoliate my body and quickly run water through my hair removing any product. I step out of the shower wrapping my towel around my waist. I cast a quick drying charm on my hair and pull on a long silk button up top and some boxers heading out of the bathroom to let Harry in.
I slip into bed noticing that he isn't in the bedroom so must be in the living area. The wardrobe is open and the clothes from yesterday are fitted in nicely.
Harry comes through the door grinning at me holding up a bag. "Last bag, shoes. I hope you don't mind but I put my stuff away with yours. I will move it to my dorm soon."
"Of course I don't mind. And don't rush to move it I'm sure you will be here often." He grins setting the shoes down and closing the wardrobe.
"Maybe you could pick what I wear tomorrow? I mean if you'd like?" He says teasingly knowing that I'd love to.
"I'll be quick. I know you are tired." He heads to the bathroom. I hear the lock click and the shower start. I grab my wand from the bedside table dimming all of the lights and laying back in bed properly.
This is not how I expected my life to be going. I can't believe I am getting into bed with Harry bloody Potter. I can't believe how fiercely he cares about me. I thought this year was going to be awful. The summer was so why would it be any different at school. But then Harry opened his heart to me. He forgave me. He treated me like a human being. I've always known that he was too good for his own good and now that I know him I can see how right I was. He is so kind, so affectionate. I didn't expect him to be quite so sassy or aggressive but I love that about him. He's fiery, passionate. He stands up for what he believes in and he refuses to be told what to do. I feel like I see that trait in myself now. Perhaps it comes from doing what you are told and what everyone else wants for so long. Perhaps we have both said enough. I know I don't ever want to be forced into something again and together Harry and I will look out for each other and make sure that's never the case again. I sigh happily getting comfortable in my bed and closing my eyes and dosing slightly.
I feel the bed dip next to me and I move close to Harry. I feel him do the same and we wrap our arms around each other. Harry must have turned the lights of completely as the room is now dark.
"Goodnight Dray," he mumbles.
I kiss his chest as it's the easiest point to reach.
"Goodnight Harry."
