Breath-Drarry COMPLETE

Chapter 27

—Harry POV—

I woke up feeling warm and content, comfortable in every sense of the word, and with the feeling of soft kisses being placed along my face. My eyes blinked open, and I instinctively reached out to have Draco closer because why can't I feel him? Adjusting my vision answered that question. He wasn't even in bed. Only reaching above it, trying to wake me up. I realized then that he was extremely warm, and looking up at him, his hair was damp.

"Good morning. It's time to get up."

I closed my eyes, pushing forward a groan and continuing to hug my pillow.

"I mean it, Harry. The meeting starts in two hours."

"That sounds like enough time for me."

"Not if you're going to shower and eat. Come on, up."

I let out another groan, shifting my position to stay comfortable. "I'm not a bloody broom."

I heard Draco sigh, then he began to shake me roughly by the shoulders.

"If you don't get up now you won't be ready for the meeting, Harry. Let's go."

The covers were suddenly yanked away, making me shiver and curl up. Having all remnants of comfort removed, I had no choice but to do as he said. It was then that I realized he hadn't even gotten dressed yet, wearing a towel around his waist.

"I left the water running for you because I thought you would be awake," he said passively. I got up and hugged him in proper greeting.

"Thank you, I'll go shower now."

"I'm getting dressed. I'll start breakfast when I'm done."

It occurred to me as I cleaned myself under the hot water that I had never taken a morning shower until today, and it was oddly refreshing, being clean at the start of the day. I briefly wondered if Draco would get up earlier than necessary back at school just so he could do things like this.

Breakfast went calmly, filled with simple conversation and soft atmosphere. Forty-five minutes later, people began to arrive at the house for the meeting. The first to arrive was, surprisingly, a woman I'd never known before. Well, Draco greeted her as Daphne, and that was when I realized this must've been his sister-in-law who I'd never met, Daphne Greengrass.

"I do hope I'm not too early?"

"Nonsense, we were just preparing for the company."

Daphne stepped forward, giving Draco a hug, then coming up to me.

"I don't believe we've met, shockingly. I'm Daphne Greengrass. You may remember me from school though it's not likely. We never spoke."

"Er, yes. Hi Daphne, I'm Harry."

"Well that's obvious, isn't it?" She replied with a small smirk.

There was an awkward stretch of silence in which Draco and Daphne simply watched each other. Draco eventually cleared his throat, straightening his posture.

"So, how have you been? We haven't really spoken since-"

"Yes. We haven't."

There was a pause. Draco cleared his throat. "How is the family?"

Daphne nodded. "They're good."

"Send them my regards." 

"Of course."

Before the atmosphere could grow more awkward, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna burst through the floo.

"Good morning Harry, Draco, Daphne."
