Love For Blood

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Harry laid across from Draco. His hand was intertwined with the Slytherin's while Draco used his free hand to play with Harry's hair absent-mindedly.

They had cleaned up the mess of bodily fluids with towels and rags. It was a temporary fix, but neither of them could find the motivation to move to the washroom.

"So, did that calm you down?" Draco chuckled, to which Harry rolled his eyes playfully.

"Yes, you wanker," Harry tried to act offended but couldn't. Not when he felt as though he was practically floating. His wolf was temporarily satisfied with Draco's performance.

"However, I really am sorry for being so rough. I hurt you," Draco trailed off as his fingers brushed the prominent mark on Harry's neck. Harry shivered at the contact but didn't break eye contact with him.

"No, I-I, uhm, I actually l...liked it?" Harry bit his lip as he reminisced about the feeling of being completely owned by Draco.

A blush bloomed across Draco's face as Harry confessed.

"Plus, I asked you to do all that, so don't feel bad. It was good," Harry's face also began to burn as thoughtless words fell from his lips. Draco choked on air slightly before calming back down.

"Hmm, anyway, anything else you want to talk about?" Draco bit the side of his mouth. He didn't want to get excited again. Both he and Harry needed a rest.

"Huh...Oh!" Harry's eyes widened in remembrance, "Y'know, I have always wanted to know how you found out where I stay during full moons!"

"Oh, well, hah," Draco scratched the back of his head nervously. Now that he thought back, it was a pretty embarrassing moment for him.

"Oh, this must be good then," Harry smirked playfully, his bare leg rubbing affectionately against Draco's.

"I had run into Hermione in the halls. I was pretty nervous about the full moon and I had been worried about you," Draco smiled softly at Harry, "So, I decided to ask Hermione about it. I made sure to check the waters first in case she in fact didn't know your secret. She made it very clear she did, however."

"And what, she just gave you my location despite how dangerous it was?" Harry seemed completely flabbergasted by the very thought.

"Well, I'm sure she would've been more reserved about it had her inhibitions been intact," Draco strained to keep a straight face as Harry's eyes widened.

"Draco, you didn't-"

"I didn't mean to! I was emotional and overwhelmed and it just happened on accident!" Draco stated defensively but he couldn't hide the smile that overwhelmed his face.

"You seduced Hermione for information, you dirty dog," Harry shoved Draco's shoulder with a laugh.

"Now, seduce is a strong word," Draco tried to defend desperately, a laugh slipping between his lips now and again, "I just accidentally made her feel more comfortable and safe around me."

"Pfft- Okay, Draco, sure," Harry rolled his eyes and leaned forward. He caught Draco in a soft, short kiss.

"I love you," Harry whispered happily. Draco smiled before tucking a long strand of raven hair behind Harry's ear.

"I love you too."

They shared another brief kiss before they pulled away.

"Also, Harry, I've had something I've been meaning to ask you," Draco's eyes gained a more sorrowful look before he continued, "You don't have to answer if you don't want to."
