Drarry; the last horcrux

Chapter 34

'That was... Interesting.' Draco says and lets out a small, nervous laugh when they pull away.
Harry can't bring himself to say something back, so he nods, still shocked that he just kissed Draco.
HE JUST KISSED DRACO FREAKIN' MALFOY.

They stand awkwardly in front of each other, looking everywhere but at each other. For once, Draco doesn't know what to say.
'I guess we'll have to go back inside.' Draco breaks the awkward silence.

'Yeah.' Harry replies and looks at the castle.

Draco grins, realizing Harry feels just as awkward as he does.
'I would love to do this again sometime, the last part, I mean, not the part where we broke into the ministry.'

Harry to cracks a smile.
'I would also love to.' He replies.
'I guess I'll just owl you, then?' Harry chews nervously on the inside of his cheek, scared that he will say something wrong and scare Draco off.

'Sure.' Draco says and starts walking towards the castle.
He stops after a minute, looking curiously over his shoulder.
'Are you coming?' He asks when Harry still hasn't moved.
Harry snaps out of his trance and nods, quickly following Draco towards the castle.

----------------------------------------

Beaming, Harry makes his way towards the common room. He and Draco had parted ways with a quick kiss on the cheek. Enough to make Harry believe it wasn't a mistake the first time.
Although Harry knows he should wipe the grin of his face, in case his friends are back from hogsmeade already, but he can't bring himself to it.
Every time he tries to do it, he fails and smiles even wider.

Harry looks at his clothes, making sure he isn't dirty from their trip to the ministry anymore, and smiles satisfied when he notices Draco's cleaning spell worked.
He mutters the password to the Fat Lady and enters the common room, still beaming.

'Guess your date went well than?' Seamus asks with a smirk.

Harry's mouth falls open, how does he know about his 'date'?
'How in Merlin's name-' he starts, but Seamus cuts him of.

'Ginny.'

Of course, Harry thought, he shouldn't have believed her so easily when she promised to not tell anyone. 'Don't tell anyone' means in Ginny's dictionary something like; tell everyone in Gryffindor, just don't tell other houses.
Or maybe she told Luna.
Harry groans, but it still doesn't ruin his mood. Come on; what could ruin your mood on the day that you kissed Draco Malfoy? Nothing right?

'Have a girlfriend, Harry?' Ron shouts across the common room and for the first time this year, Harry is happy that he doesn't share his common room with the Gryffindors from other years anymore.

'I don't think so.' Harry says, what are Draco and him now? Does one kiss makes them boyfriends? Harry doesn't think so, but he doesn't have much experience, especially not with boys.

'But you snogged her, right?' Seamus asks hopefully, hungry for some gossip.

Harry takes a deep breath. He hates lying to his friends, and knows they will be mad when they find out he's not dating a girl without telling them instantly. So he decides to stop lying about this one thing.
Even if he says it is a boy, they will never guess he has fallen for Draco Malfoy.

'Well I didn't exactly snogged 'her' ' Harry starts and he fumbles with his fingers, anxiously trying to find the right words to tell his friends he's bi.
He swallows hard.

'You just kissed her?'

'We kissed, but I didn't kiss 'her'' Harry says, exaggerating 'her', trying to give his friends subtle hints.

'She kissed you?!?' Seamus exclaims and Hermione sighs irritated.

'I don't think that's what Harry means.' She says in her why-are-you-all so dumb tone.
'Harry, is it a him?'

'Yeah.' Harry says and flushes.

'OMG! awesome! Join the club!' Seamus says.
Harry grins, Seamus came out just after the war, that he falls for anyone and everything.
Harry wouldn't be surprised if he came into the common room with a centaur by his side.

'That explains a lot actually.' Ron says and Harry looks up surprised.
'I mean, you've only been with two girls, and dated them for only two weeks. And you're already eighteen.' He explains.

'Ronald, with how many girls have you been exactly?' Hermione asks with a smug grin and Ron flushes.

'Two.' He answers, realizing that he himself dated as much girls as Harry.
'But I've been with you for almost a year and a half!' He half-shouts, defending himself.

Hermione just grins and turns back to Harry, her expression growing serious again.
'So you never actually liked Ginny or cho?' She asks.

'I did love them! I figured I'm bi.' Harry  replies.

'Will you tell us now who your crush is then? Now we now he's a guy?' Ginny shouts, Harry hadn't even seen her come in.

'I tell it when I'm ready. He's not my boyfriend yet.' Harry says.
'Oh and Ginny' he quickly adds 'please keep this between those walls.'
