Chapter 7: Future Dreams, Finding a Home of Our Own, Hermione's Questions

Draco crawled over on the sofa making Harry lie flat down on the black leather. Draco lay his body flush with Harry's after Ron and Hermione had left after dinner.

"This is my favorite place to be," Draco said of lying on his lover.

"Are you comfortable then?" Harry asked as he lay back and put his arms around the one atop him. Harry noticed Draco's bit of somberness so he moved Draco over a bit so that Draco's head lay on Harry's chest and Harry's arms were around Draco holding him in comfort. Harry rubbed his cheek onto the top of Draco's head feeling the softness of his hair for over an hour.

"I love you so much," Draco whispered with his eyes closed. "Harry, you don't know how much I love you."

"If it's anywhere close to the amount that I love you, then it's a whole hell of a lot," Harry said.

"You're everything to me," Draco said with a tiny sob that Harry heard and he pulled Draco closer and let him weep silently.

"I will always be here for you Draco," Harry said in trying to lighten Draco's tears. "We will have the rest of our lives to be together." Harry said as he stared wistfully into nothingness above. "We'll go to New Zealand and see the coasts....and the lovely colorful flowers there...and we'll swim in the deep blue waters near the reef...and we'll walk on the sand at sunset hand in hand...and we'll make love on a secluded beach..." Harry stopped to imagine such wondrous things to be shared with the one he loved more than any other. "Maybe we'll visit Paris at Christmastime and you can show me the lights of the city of romance." Harry paused to think of such a lovely sight. "And we may even go on a cruise to the Caribbean and bask in the warm sun as we watch the dolphins...we'll have a bungalow secluded away somewhere private where no one will come and we can just be together....doesn't that sound wonderful?" Harry asked softly.

"Yes," Draco whispered with a sniffle. "Tell me more of what we could do."

"And we can do things together. Maybe we could...go parasailing or learn to surf on the ocean waves. We could buy a boat...a larger boat...a yacht even so that we could sail to wherever we wanted....it would be just you and me together out on the open waters...." Harry stopped to think of a yacht and other things. "We could lie on the deck and make love under the warm sun out in the middle of the ocean....that will be so nice...and then afterward we could dive into the water and cool off....and after we were finished with our sailing we could....we could go to South America if you want. We could see the rain forests and....and we could live in a little hut for a while amidst the trees...secluded from everything....and then we could go to large cities on New Year's Day like New York, Rome or Tokyo....and we'll celebrate at large parties with champagne and dressed in fine attire that you'll pick for us....and we'll dance amid the streamers and music....but after all the parties, when the dancing has ended and merriment has softened....I'll take you in my arms each night and hold you and tell you how much I am in love with you...and I'll do that every night."

"That's sounds so perfect," Draco whispered with a grin through his tears.

"It will be perfect," Harry smiled. "I want us to have everything together...and there's so much we can do. I'll quit my job and....we can travel and....just have the whole world at our fingertips. Whatever we want we'll have. And...I'll still cook for you if you want me to," Harry gave a soft chuckle. "At breakfast we'll share the newspaper as we always do...and we'll rent porn at least once a week....well, until we've seen it all," Harry chuckled again. "And we'll see famous places like museums and....and art galleries...we'll visit the great wall of China and the pyramids...we'll see Australia and the kangaroos....we'll attend the opera in Sydney and listen to fine music by great composers...and then, still, every evening when the world sleeps I'll have you with me...holding you...loving you every moment...and we'll continue to find things to do as we grow older together and...and we find some home for us to share...and we'll invite over Ron and Hermione's children and spoil them," Harry chuckled softly. "There will probably be lots of them since Weasley's tend to have many children. But we'll invite them over in the summertime....and I'll make homemade ice cream for all of us...and we can sit outside under the shade of some large tree and....and remember how we used to fight at Hogwarts so many years ago...and we'll laugh and...and be so happy that our lives finally found each other....and we'll be content together forever in our happiness...and each and every night I'll still take you in my arms like this....and I'll...I'll tell you how much I love you and how perfectly happy I am with you every moment of my life."
