Harry was just settling into his seat in the third row when Snape announced that they would spend the double lesson doing partner work.

Soft whispers and murmurs briefly filled the room, which the professor ended with a stern look. Then it was time to find their partners.
Ron and Hermione looked apologetically at their friend as he turned to them seeking help. In the end, only Draco and Harry remained.

The Gryffindor sighed in surrender and sat down next to his rival.

What no one knew, was that the two of them were together and had decided to keep it a secret for the time being. That was why they had not changed their behaviour and snapped at each other at every opportunity.
But this time it degenerated unintentionally.

"Do you want the whole castle to blow up?! By Merlin, Potter, you can't do anything right!"

Draco's loud outburst stopped the whole classroom and the blond immediately regretted his words as he looked into his boyfriend's eyes.
The green gems had taken on a glittering shimmer and the first tears made their way to freedom.

"Fine!" snapped Harry, "do it on your own!"

The lion glared hurtly at his love before hurrying to the door.
"Honey, just wait, I'm sorry!"
Immediately he stopped. He hadn't planned to say this and Harry would never forgive him for this mistake.

Harry stood rooted to the spot before storming out of the classroom with a stunned expression on his face.
Draco ignored the students, who had been listening intently and were now engaged in heated discussions, for the moment and was paralyzed.

"Mister Malfoy, you may go." Severus looked at him for a long moment and pushed him slightly so that he awoke from his stupor.

Instantly, the Slytherin ran after his lover. His heart led him to Harry's own rooms, as he had been appointed head boy.
Without knocking, Draco placed his hand on the heavy wooden door, which responded to his magical signature and swung open instantly.

Inside, he could already hear Harry's heart-wrenching sobs. He found his boyfriend in front of the couch.
Immediately he rushed to him and pulled Harry into his arms.

"I'm so sorry I yelled at you and unintentionally made our relationship public. I didn't mean for any of that to happen."

Harry, who had made himself comfortable in his lap, now snuggled into the crook of his neck.
"I know you didn't mean everything you said, but I hate being snapped at, Uncle Vernon has done that enough times."

Immediately Draco felt even worse. He knew many stories of Harry's relatives and didn't want to make him feel defenceless against them again.

He immediately tightened his grip and pulled Harry even closer.
"I'm so incredibly sorry. Please!"

Harry kissed his neck and rested his head on Draco's shoulder.
"It's all right, Dray. It's going to be alright. Don't worry about us. I'm tired of hiding, so your slip wasn't so bad."

They were both smiling now and Draco lifted the younger boy's chin. Slowly he leaned down a little and kissed him.

Maybe the whole day wasn't so bad after all.
