Midnight

7.) The Christmas Party

Harry yawned as he work up, feeling Draco's hand run up his bare torso. Draco's hand was slightly cold, and Harry was very much still half asleep. He wasn't ready to get up eat, but felt the kiss on his chin. "Harry." Draco's voice was quiet, but Needy. Harry slowly opened his eye, his left eye. Draco was blushing and Harry knew what was on his mind. He didn't need to read his thoughts. Harry wasn't hungry at all. Narcissa had got restocked up on the blood from the hospital and Harry had a restless night. They had sat down at the table about midnight. Harry had a warm cup of blood and Narcissa had her tea. He listen as she rambled about some other grandmother that was giving her a headache. Like parents who disliked their children's best friend. Narcissa disliked the girl that had been hanging around Little Narcissa. She couldn't explain why, she just didn't trust that girl. So, she didn't trust her grandmother. Harry chuckled, enjoying the time he spent with her. Narcissa was a mother to him, he never would admit that, but he felt very nice to have her close by.
He looked at Draco, gripping his hand lightly. "Would it...upset you if I needed to stop?" Draco's eyes lit up.  "No. Just means I've almost won." Harry chuckled, giving him a big kiss. "I don't see the harm in trying." Harry said, hoping he wouldn't disappointed Draco. 
"Would...this make it easier?" Draco slowly climbed up Harry easing down on his waist. Harry smiled lightly, locking his hands on Draco's bare hips. "Now when did you slip out of bed and remove your clothes?" Draco blushed. "I needed a shower and yes, I have been waiting for sometime. I thought...it might help if I saved some time." Harry lend up, giving Draco a light kiss. "It isn't that I don't want to...I do..." Draco just shock his head. "It has to do with whatever you and mama are hiding form me. She...promises it's important...and says maybe I should start trying to figure it out for myself...like she did...but...I'm worried if I do, I'd lose you." Harry shook his head. "Only if...the truth was to much for you to handle." Draco heard the pain in Harry's voice. "Can't...you just tell me?" Harry shook his head. "Like your mama. It's something you have to learn on your own. I...do want you to know, it...would make you understand things better about me." Harry said, and Draco lend down giving Harry a kiss. "Can...she tell me?" Harry was uncertain. "I...think she can show you hints...but I am unsure the law when it comes to that." Draco frown lightly. "Is it really that difficult?" Harry nodded and Draco give him a light kiss. "If I find out, would it be easier for you to be with me? In the way, sexually." Harry lend back against the headboard. "No, but you'd understand the difficulty I have. Well...maybe it might help. I'm unsure." Draco frown lightly, but seen the pain hidden behind Harrys eyes. He gave Harry a light kiss. "Do you love me?" Harry's eyes got very wide. "Yes, I love you, Draco." Harry Eyes spoke only the truth and it did make Draco smile. "Okay. I'll figure it out. I have to." Harry nodded, giving Draco a light kiss.

Draco walked into the kitchen and of course picked up one of the cookies, getting his hand playfully slapped but Looked to see little Narcissa sitting on the counter, her mouth full of cookie. "Between the two of you, there won't be any cookies left." Narcissa voice was warm and she chuckled. Draco bit into the cookie. "What's Harry hiding?" Narcissa turned to face him. "I thought we talked about this Draco." She frown, but slightly before seeing Harry enter the kitchen with his arms crossed and looked very conflicted. "I'm...not sure the law in that regard. It's...getting in the way because he doesn't understand the difficulties I'm facing getting...Intimate." Narcissa looked at Harry who seemed almost upset, and looked at her son. "There are ways without the word coming out. Watch the cookies in the over for me?" Harry nodded, walking over to the stove. "Follow me, Draco." Draco nodded and followed Narcissa.

"Does he not love me?" Narcissa quickly turn around, facing her son. "Harry loves you very much, Draco. Don't question that." Draco looked down between his feet, upset. "Does he not trust me enough to tell me whatever it is?" She put a hand on his chin, and pulled his head up to meet her gaze. "It isn't something he can say. There are laws in his world that prevents him form being able to say the line." Draco was so confused,  and nearly heartbroken. He went to turn away. "I...don't think I want to know." He felt a hand on his shoulder, she had to risk it...and hoped Harry would forgive her. "His a vampire, Draco." Draco flashed her a pissed off look. "That sounds like something father would say. I think you've lost your mind." Draco brushed her off him, and stormed away form her. She let out a frown, before making her way back towards the kitchen. Her face said it all, and Harry just eased down at the table. "Forgive me if it causes trouble..." Harry just tapped his finger on the table. "He thinks your toying with him." Harry's voice was heartbroken, and she looked over at him, raising an eye. "Lurking around again?" Harry just nodded. "Let's...just get ready for your party...I think after the holiday I'm going back to my apartment." Narcissa wanted to say something, but what could she say?
