Stolen Glances (Drarry)

"Potter open up!" Draco yelled barging through Harry's dorm. Harry looked up without an ounce of shock. Smiling at the eager boy in front of him, "why do my days always start off with you bursting through my door like an over eager child?"

Draco scoffed, putting his hand over his heart. "You should be blessed to start your day out with me, I'm fantastic. Toi beau garçon jaloux."

Harry looked up at Draco with wide eyes, "you speak French?" Draco nodded with wide eyes, "yeah I'm fluent. Sometimes I just slip into it without realizing hah. Anyways, ignore I said that and don't try to figure out what it means. Now get dressed."

"For what?" Harry replies with a raised brow.

"I uhm- well." Draco stutters, he doesn't know how to say he enjoys being around Harry. He doesn't know how to do this friendship with Potter thing.

"Seekers match?" Draco says more as a question, and Harry looks skeptical. "If you just wanted to hang out you can say that you know. We're friends now."

Draco scratches his neck awkwardly, "uhm well yeah, I just I don't know how to. Propose the idea."

"Proposing so soon? We just became friends." Harry teases, pulling Draco to his bed.

"Whoa whoa. Easy tiger." Draco said chuckling as Harry pulled him down next to him. "Let's just talk, I don't get on brooms much anymore."

Draco visibly winced, thinking about the fire incident. "I never did thank you for that.."

"And I never apologized for sixth year and thanked you for the manor. We were surviving. I'm glad we did survive. I'd have missed tormenting you."

Draco stared at Harry for a second, letting his eyes linger on the boys subtle smile for quite some time. His feelings were definitely back, and rushing to the surface fast as ever.

"I was rooting for you the whole time. I wanted you to win no matter what." Draco admitted sheepishly, he wasn't used to being so nice to Harry.. but he liked it. Harry looked up at him, a soft expression on his face.

"That is the sweetest thing you've ever said to me."

"Well don't get used to it scarhead."

Harry chuckled, leaning his head on Draco's shoulder. Draco froze, eyes pointed questionably down at the dark haired boy. "What are you doing Potter? I am not here to cuddle."

"Oh be quiet, I'm just laying my head on your arm. You won't get a disease."

"I might, who knows who you're sleeping with. Being the hero and all I bet you get tons of guys."

"Well considering I'm a virgin who has never had a boyfriend and only a weird short fling with my bestfriends sister before coming out, no I don't."

Draco sat up, "excuse me?! You mean to tell me you've been this hot since fifth year and haven't used it to get laid."

Harry chuckled, and Draco realized what he said. "Well thank you love." Harry flirted with a wink, grimacing on the inside because what the fuck. "But no. May sound strange from a man my ages mouth, but I want to find someone I have a real connection with before I have sex. Never having a serious relationship, running away from death for eighteen years, means I didn't have much for connections."

There's a comfortable silence as Draco processes the information he was given, trying to determine how to respond. Harry does it for him.

"What about you?" Harry asks, and Draco winces.

"The only person I've ever even kissed was Pansy."

Harry smiles, "to figure out if you were gay?" Draco nodded, "I know more goes into it than that, but yes. I was fifteen."

"It's alright, I kissed Ron." Draco's eyes widened, "you did NOT kiss the weasel?!" Harry laughs, "sure did."

"And you both actually enjoyed it."

"I guess I prefer the male weasels over the females."

That was the first time Harry Potter ever heard Draco laugh. Not one of the light chuckles, or held in expressions he made when he thought jokes were funny. Draco Malfoy was full blown, belly hold laughing with tears in his eyes. Harry loved the sound.

He watched Draco carefully, committing every wrinkle in the boys face and that beautiful sound slipping from his mouth as he laughed. Harry wanted to remember this forever. I Harry Potter, made the Draco Malfoy laugh.

He felt prouder in this moment than defeating Voldemort.

"Should we wake them?" Ron asked quietly.

"Nah, let them sleep darling. They ate breakfast I'm sure so they can skip lunch. I know they'll be awake by dinner. But take a picture!" Blaise said cheekily.

"They'd kill us!" Ron said in horror, then smirked. "Blackmail." He chuckled quietly snapping a picture on his camera.

When they couldn't find Draco or Harry they figured they'd be somewhere together. Ron smiled down at them as he looked at his bestfriend wrapped in Draco Malfoys arms.

"I never thought you'd be so happy to see them like this." Hermione whispered, looking up at Ron.

"I didn't either at one point.. but I just want him happy. Look how peaceful he looks." Ron said smiling again. Pansy smiled as well, "same with Draco. I think they're going to be amazing for each other once they realize it."

All of the friends agreed, and slowly went to make their way out of Harry's dorm. Shutting the lights off, Hermione covered them with a blanket and they curled into each other more.

Hermione knew they'd freak out when they woke up, for a minute she thought maybe she should wake them so they're less jumpy about it. Then she decided against it because, well for one they looked cute, and she knew they'd be even more embarrassed to know they all saw them cuddling.

As Harry slowly woke up, he realized way too quickly where he was. In Draco Malfoys arms. He wanted to jump, to run away but he froze. Enjoying the heat of Draco's body for a mere second.

He slowly shook Draco's arm, "Draco wake up." He said quietly, still trying to wake up himself.

Draco stirred a bit, freezing as he made the same realization. He peaked his eyes open, looking down. He laughs, shaking his head.

"How do we always find ourselves in situations like this."

Harry laughs too, "I don't know Malfoy, I don't know."

A/N this was a stupid chapter, and I'm sorry. I'm in a very bad mental state rn and I've been avoiding everything and anything lately so this is pretty rushed. I'm really sorry!

Hope you enjoyed this mess loves.
