Drarry; A Comfort Story

Chapter 20

I can't believe I'm still writing this.

Draco POV

I did not want to wake up today. Today is just going to be miserable. I can't kiss Harry all day. Damn you, Pansy. At least I can talk to and interact with him. What if I just didn't do the dare? Then Pansy would mock me calling me obsessed and weak. Which, I am, but, I can't show it.

I feel it would be best to avoid Harry to keep myself from snogging the hell out of him. But I can't do that. I would never. I love him too much to put him through something like that. I don't want him to think I hate him because I'm ignoring him. Because I don't. I could still hug him, and make other social interaction with him.

I walk out of my common room to breakfast. I'm now in the Great Hall, with Harry smiling brightly. I go over to the Gryffindor table and sit next to him.

"Draco, are you alright?" Harry looks deeply concerned.

"I'm fine. I just hate Pansy at the moment."

"Why? What did she do?"

"Don't you remember the dare she gave me last night? I can't kiss you for all of today."

"Right. She never said I couldn't kiss you though, right?"

Harry gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

"No, no she didn't." I smiled.

"At least she didn't ask you to completely ignore me. I don't think I could stand it."

"I don't think I'd even survive an hour. I love you too much."

We continued to eat our breakfast in silence. It's Saturday today, and normally, Harry and I spend the whole day together. I'm going to let that happen, but it's going to be a lot more tempting to kiss him the more I spend time with him.

"What are we going to do today?" Harry asked me.

"Whatever it is that you want, love." I smiled.

"Can we go to Hogsmede?"

"If that's what you want. I'll let you guide me today."

"Okay. Finish your breakfast, then we can go."

I quickly finished my breakfast. Going to Hogsmede was a typical Harry thing to want, but today, I felt more excited. Despite not being able to snog his face off.

Once he realized I was done, Harry grabbed my hand and dragged me out to get permission. Once we did, Harry immediately brought me to Honeydukes.

"Draco! Cmon! Let's see what apple flavored candies they have!" Harry squealed excitedly

"I thought you didn't like apple that much." I frowned in confusion.

"I don't. But you do. Let's go see!"

This is why I love him. Along with many other reasons.

As we looked through, we found many selections. Hundreds upon hundreds, possibly.

"Pick whatever you want!" Harry cheered.

"Really? I- You have money that you should be saving. Not spending it all on me. I should be spending money on you. That's how this works." I smirked.

"Oh come on! Let me treat you for once!"

How could I say no to him? I mean, I don't want him to spend much on me. I'm going to resist buying much. It shouldn't be difficult.

Or maybe it will. I just saw some of the best selection I've ever seen.

"Harry, you expect me to chose? I can't. They all look good."

"Them I'll buy em all for ya-"

"NO! Most definitely NOT do that. I'm not about to have you go broke and it being my fault. Never."

"Fine. But that means you're limited."

"I know, that's the point. I'll take some of these, I've never tried them before."

"Is that it? You have to be getting more than that."

"Yes, that's it. If I were to buy anything else, it would be with my own money. I don't understand why you want to buy things for me when I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself."

"Fine. I just want to be a good boyfriend and treat you."

"Love, you don't need to buy things for me. I'd still think you were perfect even if you couldn't buy anything at all."

He gave me his bright, beautiful smile. We then bought the candy, and went out on our way to explore more of Hogsmede. It was difficult, not being to kiss him as many times as I would of liked. Despite that, we had a lot of fun. Harry always manages to make everything enjoyable, even if it was in one of my darkest moments. We got lunch and walked around some more.

And soon, we were back at Hogwarts.

"What would you like to do now, love?" I asked Harry.

"Hm. Let's go to the ROR and cuddle?"

"Alright, let's go."

And that's what we did, until dinner.

We ate in the ROR, and then we stayed up and talked until midnight.

"Finally. I can kiss you again!"

I gave him a sweet kiss on the lips.

"Thank Merlin. How did we survive?" Harry chuckled.

"I'm not sure, but let's hope Pansy doesn't dare me to do that again."

"Let's hope."

I gave him a kiss on his forehead, and we decided it was time for bed. I wrapped my arms around him, and we fell asleep in each other's warm embrace.

I honestly don't know what my life would be like without Harry. I love him more than anything, and I can only hope he feels the same about me.
