Trust Me (Drarry)

Chapter 25

HARRY POV

I walked quietly up the stairs to the Astronomy tower, my heart fluttering nervously. I had been waiting for this all day, and I wanted so badly for it to go well.

When I poked my head inside the cosy tower room, I was disappointed to see that Draco wasn't here yet. I pulled the Invisibility cloak off- and someone leapt on me.

"Boo!"
"Shit!"
"Language!"
"Asshole! I nearly-" I was cut off by soft lips on mine, and straight away I melted, completely forgetting that I had almost needed new underwear.

Draco pulled away, his eyes twinkling mischievously. "Gotcha," he whispered, and I rolled my eyes.
"You won't get away with that," I tried to look serious, but I could feel the corners of my mouth twitching.
"What are you gonna do, Potter? Kiss me?" He smirked, and I raised an eyebrow.
"You'd like that, wouldn't you, Malfoy?"

Immediately, his cheeks flushed, and he looked down at his feet. "Well, I..."
I laughed and tilted his head up towards mine. His eyes closed in anticipation, so when our lips were almost touching, I quickly turned and jumped onto the sofa.

Draco opened his eyes and glared at me. "YOU'RE the asshole... So what are we gonna do?" He asked, sitting next to me. I shivered at the close proximity. Who would've thought that such an idiot could have this effect on me?

Trying to ignore it, I shrugged. "I thought... Maybe we could go for a walk?"
He stared at me. "Just... Around the castle?"
"Well yeah... And maybe the grounds?"

I pulled out my Invisibility cloak, and he grinned. "You legend."
"Well... I AM in a book."
"No kidding?" He sounded genuinely impressed.
"Hermione told me about it in first year. Don't remember the name though."
"Didn't go looking for it in the library?"
I shuddered. "No way. How embarrassing."
"And yet here you are, boasting about it three years later."
"I know. I'm a great catch, aren't I?" I grinned, pulling the Invisibility cloak over our heads.
"Don't push it, Potter. What is that?"

He was pointing to a piece of parchment on the wall next to the door. As we got closer to it, he read it out loud: "In this place, you will spy, a grumpy witch with a single eye."

He turned and stared at me in disbelief. "Is this you?"
I smiled nervously. "I thought I'd make it a bit more interesting..."
He shoved me gently. "You're so cute."

I blushed slightly, but luckily Draco didn't see as he turned back to the parchment. "So that's the statue on the third-floor corridor, right? The one with the passageway behind it..."

DRACO POV

I'm not normally one for games, but I have to admit that Harry's was fun. We tiptoed our way through the castle under the cloak finding all of the clues that he had left to take us on to the next place, dodging teachers and ghosts, and generally just having a laugh. Occasionally Harry's fingers would brush against mine, or he would watch me while I was deciphering the clue, but he seemed too nervous to actually take my hand or anything.

It felt like a first date, but how could it be? Harry and I weren't dating, we were... Well, we were friends. Who had kisses two (almost three) times. But that didn't necessarily mean he wanted to be my... Boyfriend. Did it?

I had never really thought about relationships or sexuality. I know Mother was quite keen on Pansy and I pursuing a relationship, but I had never seen her like that. I had never seen ANYONE like that.

But Harry was... Harry. He was the first person I met from Hogwarts, even though I was a complete asshole when I first encountered him. And for a long time after that. But he had forgiven me for everything. He had accepted that I had been led on a particular path, and supported my decision to abandon every single plan my father had for me. How could I not fall for him...
