I love you from A to Z (a Drarry one shot series)

2. Bets

The eight years had gathered in their common room. It is the evening after their last exams. They are bringing up memories from the past eight years. Hermione and Ron take up one couch with him sitting up and Hermione using his lap as a pillow. Blaise sits on the ground with Neville between his legs. Dean and Seamus disappeared up the stairs long ago to do who knows what and Harry and Draco are sharing the love seat. "do you remember first year?" Blaise starts "I wonder what happened to that troll". To everyone's surprise the golden trio starts to laugh. "if I remember correctly" Ron says between laughs "it was knocked out by its own club".

"do you remember sixth year? It was one of the worse and best years of my life. I constantly had the pressure of killing Dumbledore, but it is also the year I finally got the futs to ask you out". A shiver runs down Draco's spine while thinking of the night on the top of the astronomy tower, but as soon as the shiver comes it is gone and replaced by a kiss on the back of Harry's head.

"do you remember the beginning of the year, when we first heard we were sharing this tower?" Neville snickers at the memory before continuing to speak. "do you remember what we agreed to that day? Do you guys remember the bets we took? I still want my money".

A look of confussion on the face of the blond and grey and green eyed lovers that were snuggled into each other. "what bets are you talking about Neville?". "oh, we six" pointing to himself and Blaise, Ron, Hermione and the ceiling, clearly meaning the couple that had already left. "started a couple of bets at the beginning of the schoolyear. And I won two of them". "what were these bets if you don't mind me asking?" Draco asks in a stiff voice. Worry immediately starts to spread across Draco's face when he sees that there is mischief in Blaise his eyes. "off course I don't mind you asking Draco. If you get an answer is a different question". Hermione got pity for the couple who was left in the dark and starts to explain what is going on. "the first bet was who would walk into a kissing couple first. The second bet was who would this couple be". "what was the last bet?" Harry asks being as curious as always. Hermione is to embarrassed to speak on and she hides her face in Ron's chest. Ron finishes for her "the last bet was, how long it would take for one of you two" gesturing to his best friend and his boyfriend sitting opposite of him "to man up and tell each other that you love the other. Neville said I would be the one to walk into you two kissing and that you two kissing and that you already had admitted it". "I was almost right to" Neville defends himself "I only walked into you myself, and not Ron. So caught up" extending his hand to Romione. Reluctant the couple gives Neville his winnings.

The group of friends keeps on talking to farpassed midnight. Harry had fallen asleep with his head on Draco's chest. Dracopresses a soft kiss on his lovers head before settling into the love seat. "Ilove you so much my raven" is his thought before sleep overtakes him.
