Dragon's Promise

Chapter 5

EDITED

Draco's P.O.V

After a full week of catch up school work the weekend had finally arrived. I was to meet Harry at the Slytherin portrait hole at 10:00 and it was currently 8:53. Butterflies started in my stomach once again as I started to get ready for my date. My date. With Harry Potter. After years of hating each other we were going on a date together. I guess I never really hated him, I was hurting. It turned out Harry was too. When I was cruel to him it only added more pressure to the already heavy weight he was carrying. Today I was going to explain how I felt and apologize . I knew I already had done that but I still felt terrible. 

Setting those thoughts aside I padded over to my wardrobe and picked out something to wear. I decided on tight blue jeans, a grey turtleneck and some black lace up boots as it was still a little nippy outside. "Oooh, who are you all dressed up for?" I spun around to come face to face with my other 'friend', Pansy Parkinson. She was looking at me with a smirk on her face. "No one, I just felt like looking nice today." She nodded sarcastically. "Mmhmm sure..." I rolled my eyes at her and stalked down the stairs to the common room. Thankfully everyone had already left to go to Hogsmead so I didn't have to talk to any one else before meeting up with Harry. I could already picture his emerald eyes shining behind his glasses, his windswept hair curled slightly by the nape of his neck. As for me I had decided not to gell my hair today so some strands fell on my forehead.

There was a knock on the portrait and I went to answer it. Harry stood in the doorway, one hand resting on the frame. He looked even better than I imagined. His emerald eyes shone  and his jet black hair had his signature 'just got out of bed' look. He was dressed in tight grey jeans and a tight white shirt under a black leather jacket. He looked me up and down slowly and smirked, his eyes twinkling. I blushed and held out my hand for him to take. He reached out and grabbed it pulling me towards him so that we were face to face, noses almost touching. He held me close to him and kissed me on the nose. I blushed even further. We started towards Hogsmead through the grey stone hallways of Hogwarts full of paintings. 

||God damn I've been reading through this book a few months after finishing it and boy oh boy is it complete and utter crap lmao please forgive me! I've obviously improved as a writer and I'd like to think this book improves (although it gets kinda dark?) but honestly idk why y'all are suffering through this bullshit :'')||

Harry's P.O.V

When Draco  opened the portrait hole I sucked in a breath. He looked gorgeous! His hair wasn't gelled for once and it fell slightly across his face. Draco's beautiful mercury grey eyes sparkled against his milky white skin, his tight jeans hugged his leg muscles and arse. He turned red as I dragged my gaze slowly up to his face. He held out his hand for me to take and I pulled him into my chest. I pecked him quickly on the nose and pulled him towards Hogsmead. I laced my fingers through his and leaned on his shoulder. I could barely reach as he was so tall but I loved that about him. "So... where are we going?" Draco asked, rubbing his thumb on my hand. I sighed and squeezed his hand. "It's a surprise, I hope you like it." He purred. "Mmm I'm sure I will." I grinned. 

As we entered Hogsmead me had to let go of each other's hands because we still didn't want to tell anyone about us, especially now that Draco is a Death Eater. I crossed my arms and glared at Draco as if I was annoyed with him. He did the same and fell into step behind me, our boots tapping on the cobblestone street. I wove through the streets until we came to a dirt path, the tapping of our boots turned into a crunching. I slowed a bit and let Draco catch up with me. He wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my forehead. I sighed in contentment and kept  walking until I came to a stone bench in a small clearing. I pulled a small basket out of my jacket pocket and pointed my wand at it "Capitulum quintum". The basket enlarged and I set it down in front of the bench and signaled for Draco to sit. 

He sat and I sat beside him. I reached for the basket but Draco grabbed my hands. He played with my fingers as he looked up at me. "Before we start, I need to tell you something." He said quietly. "I'm sorry for every time I was mean to you, I know it hurt you and I can't stand the thought of that. When you  turned down my friendship that first day I was devastated, I knew I loved you from the first time I saw you in the robe shop and all these years I was mean to you b-because I was h-hurt! Draco was crying now. "You love me?" I whispered. Draco flushed pink. "Oh um-I... Yes... I-I think so." He responded nervously. "I'm sorry, it just sort of slipped out..." He let go of my hands and looked down at his shoes. "No one's ever told me that before." I murmured, hot tears started to fill my eyes as I contemplated what to do next. I had no idea what to say or how to act. 

Draco's P.O.V

Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid! How could I say something like that?! We weren't even halfway through our first date and stupid me! I told him I loved him! Tears ran own my cheeks as I put my head in my hands. What had I done? "No one's ever told me that before." Harry breathed. I looked up again, how could no one have told the Boy Who Lived that they loved him. I knew he lived with his Aunt, Uncle and Cousin, how could they not adore him? I brushed away my tears as I brazenly stood up from the bench and faced him. "Well, I do, and if you don't feel the same way, well that's fine because all I know is that I love you, you hear that? I love you, I love you, I love you!" I began to cry again and dropped to my knees. I sobbed into my hands until I felt someone pull me into a hug. I nuzzled Harry's neck as he sat with me on the frosty grass and held me in a close embrace. "I love you too." He said and I looked at him, startled. Then before I knew it we were kissing. I fell backwards onto the ground and Harry leaned over me to continue the kiss. I swiped my tongue across his bottom lip to request access to his mouth and he opened his lips just wide enough for my tongue to slip through. I explored every inch of his mouth before gasping for air and smashing my lips back against his. After a minute we pulled away and Harry lay down beside me, panting. He looked over and smiled, grasping my hand and intertwining our fingers. So we lay there, I'm not really sure how long it was, but it didn't matter because I was happy.

Holy crap that was long. Woohoo! Chapter 5! This is probably the farthest I've got in a book. Kind of sad really. Oh well, anyways... yay! You actually read this far! Or did you? I'm thinking about changing the title, suggestions? Alright. Thanks again my dudes!
