7 Minutes of Sadness

25- Asking Him

(Every ... by itself is supposed to represent it's been a few minutes.)

--Room of Requirement--

*Draco's Pov*

The game was just about to end. Its almost time to ask him.
I really hope he says yes.

I stood up, gathering my things. Harry started to walk away, so I grabbed his hand.

Draco: Harry, I need to talk to you about something.

Harry: Oh, what is it?

Draco: Not here. Follow me.

Harry: Okay?

I led him to another room.

Draco: Wait here.

*Harry's Pov*

What does he need to talk to me about? Is it why he was talking to Dumbledore? I really should ask him about that.

Draco: Okay, come in!

I walk in and it's... Beautiful. There are rose petals on the ground with some candles, and even some floating around the dimly lit room. I look up at Draco..
He's holding a bouquet of roses...

Harry: ...Draco...?

Draco: Harry. Over the past few weeks we have gotten really close, closer than I ever thought we would be.  ..I have realized what an amazing and thoughtful person you are.. And that I have some romantic feelings for you... You're just so- Perfect, you know? From how your emerald eyes sparkle in the sun, to how brave and adventurous you are, I just... I love it.
So, Harry Potter, will you be my boyfriend?

I..

Harry: B-Boyfriend..? Me?

Draco: Yes..?

Harry: I-..

Draco: I-Its fine if you dont want to-

Harry: No, no! I just- I'm really surprised! I- Yes! Of course I'll be your boyfriend!

Draco: Really?

Harry: Yes really!

We hugged tight. It was like we never wanted to let go. He was warm..

*Draco's Pov*

We hugged as tight as we could. He smelled like treacle tarts- Of course. I didn't want to let go of him. This is the best day of my life.

Harry: ..Draco..

Draco: Hm?

Harry: Can I kiss you?

I pulled away from the hug and cupped his face with one hand, my other on his waist. I pulled him close,

Draco: Of course you can, love.

I pulled him closer. It was a slow and loving kiss. Us moving in sync, desperately pulling each other closer. When we pulled away we were out of breath, resting against each others foreheads.

Harry: That was... amazing..

Draco: Magical...

Harry: Yeah.

...

Harry: Can I sleep in your room tonight?

Draco: Oh wow Harry. Didn't think you would want to move that fast~ 

Harry: Not like that!

I chuckled.

Draco: Yes, you can. But.. I was wondering if tomorrow we could have lunch by the lake?

Harry: A date?

Draco: Obviously.

Harry: *laughs* Yeah.

Draco: Well, come on. I'm tired.

Harry: Me too.

We started walking to my dorm.

...

Draco: Oh! These are for you.

I handed him the roses.

Harry: Aw... They're beautiful.

Draco: I picked them all myself.

Harry: Really? You didn't have to, they sell pre-made bouquets.

Draco: I wanted to make it special.

Harry: It is.. They smell absolutely amazing.

Draco: I dipped them in a little amnorenta.

Harry: Oh~ That's so sweet Draco..

...

I held his hand.

Harry: I... Do you know how long I have wanted this?

Draco: No?

Harry: I've liked you for years Draco.

Draco: Really?

Harry: Yup. What about you?

Draco: I don't know. I mean, I only realized recently.

Harry: Oh- Yeah you said that in your confession- Sorry.

Draco: Its fine love.

Harry: ...I love that...

Draco: What?

Harry: You calling me 'love'.

Draco: I like it too.

...

Harry: Greengrass and Bulstrode told me you were in Dumbledore's office, said it was something serious. What was it?

Draco: Oh... That.. I- Well it's...

I stopped walking.

Draco: Its something kind of..

Harry: You can trust me, Draco.

Draco: I... It was about me and my mum.

Harry: What happened?

Draco: I wanted to make sure that if.. If I switched sides we would be safe.

Harry: R-Really?

Draco: Mhm.. He said he would protect us... Which is why I felt safe asking you out.

Harry: Aw.. Draco... I'm glad you could ask me out. ...And that you and your mum will be safe..!

Draco: *Giggle* Yeah.

We started walking again.

...

We arrived at Slytherin and walked to the dorm.

Harry: Ah- Being here brings back memories of-

Draco: Us sleeping together? Yeah, get that everyday.

Harry: Don't say it like that- It sounds like we shagged.

Draco: According to Pansy, we did.

Harry: Well she's and idiot.

Draco: Idiot doesn't begin to describe it.

Harry: Pft-

Draco: Come on, I'm tired.

I layed down on the bed. He flopped down, cuddling up to me. His face in my chest, legs intertwined. I loved this.
I loved him.

Draco: I.. I love you Harry.

He pulled back and stared at me, he looked surprised.. Did I say something wrong? Was he not ready for that? Was-

Harry: I love you too, Draco.

He had a stupid smile on his face that I... Loved so much. He kissed my cheek,

Now I had a stupid smile on my face. He cuddled back close to me. We layed there in comfortable silence. Everything felt... Marvelous, magical, amazing.. Synonyms. It was indescribable.
