Forever Halloween ✔️

Chapter 6

Harry pulled back suddenly, a goofy smile on his face.

"What?", Draco asked, suddenly feeling self-conscious.

He didn't have much experience, and Harry really seemed to know what he was doing.

"Ron and Mione are coming, I hear them. I don't wanna get caught, I'll never hear the end of it."

"So it's not me?", Draco asked, just to be sure.

"Oh definitely not, and if you keep looking at me like that we may just skip the movie all together."

"Going straight to dessert I see, I can be persuaded to agree."

"Harry, are you still here?", Hermione called.

"Yeah Mione, at the computer!"

"Good, I was worried you'd left us for- Oh, hello. I'm Hermione."

"Draco."

"Ron. You looking for a job mate? That was mental I'll tell ya!"

"I told him if he was interested he could be my partner", Harry chimed in.

Ron let out a low whistle.

"That's a bloody compliment Draco. Harry and I have been best mates since we were what, 9? God that's a decade of friendship. Anyway, he would never let me be his partner. I've tried."

"I gave you a trial run and all you were doing was trying to seduce Hermione", Harry replied with a snort.

"That was years ago!"

"Anyway, Draco and I are going on a date. I'll help you remove your prosthetics, but I'll have to rain check dinner. Sorry."

They all knew Harry wasn't sorry at all.

"Can you get started and keep Draco company while I change?"

"Yes, of course", Hermione agreed.

Harry grabbed his clothes, and left to go and change, the smile never leaving his face.

"What did you do to him?", Ron asked in amazement.

"Pardon?", Draco asked, head tilted in confusion.

"Ignore Ronald, he's not the best at phrasing things. What he means is that Harry hasn't been this happy in awhile. It's nice to see."

"I don't think I've been this happy either", Draco replied with a fond smile, looking back at where Harry had gone.

"Where are you two going on your date?", Hermione asked.

"Dinner and a movie I believe? We were discussing it before he showed me the security footage."

"Oh you got them good mate! Serves them right for being such di-"

At Hermione's not so subtle clearing of her throat, Ron changed the ending of his sentence.

"Divas. I was going to say divas Mione. I would never use such language in front of my wonderful girlfriend."

"Do you do things like this often?"

"Never to such an extent. Harry was smitten with you immediately. We have different code words that mean different things. Bubbles is like, the highest tier. We've never had a code bubbles before.

I wish we would it was bloody mental! Do you have the footage up still? I want to see it again."

Draco pulled it back up, and the three of them watched.

"That blood trick was absolutely unreal! God Harry is a genius."

"You'll have to put up with their bromance. You'd think Harry would be feeling like the third wheel, but it's always me. It would be nice to have a fourth person in the group. It's been awhile."
