Somewhere Only We Know (Scorbus & Drarry)

Chapter 16

Harry's point of view

Since both Harry and Draco wanted to be careful not to be seen they had spent the night in the prefects' bathroom, talking, had a relaxing bath (and a little bit more than that), and ended up falling a sleep on the floor.

The next morning Harry returned to his common room immediately before everyone else woke up. His back was in pain after sleeping on the floor, and same thing to his butt after the other thing that happened.

"Harry!" said Hermione as he entered. Of course she, out of everyone, would be up. "Where have you been?" Harry took a seat in the couch which he found very comfortable.

"It's true, Hermione. I saw Draco's arm, his dark mark." Hermione was shocked.

"How... how did you see it?" 

"It's a long story. But..." He didn't want to give her too much information. "We met last night. We talked and... he tried to hide it, but I saw it."

"Talked? You mean to say-" 

Harry couldn't hold himself back anymore.

"I love him," he interrupted.

"What?!" said Hermione in shock as she sat down beside him. "How..? When did this happen?" 

"I've felt this way for a long time," Harry told her, ready to admit it all. "Do you remember Slughorn's party? When I told you that the reason I never showed up was because I was ill. The truth is... I was heading there at first. And then I met him. He said he was going out for a walk. And I thought that I'd rather join him that going to the party. That's where it all began." 

"Harry... I don't know what to say-" 

"Say nothing then." 

"He's a death eater. His parents work for Voldemort! It's too dangerous." 

"Do you really think I'm choosing this?!" Harry shouted feeling his anger rise, and almost tearing up. "I still don't know what he's up to in the room of requirement though." Hermione fell silent.

"Have you told Ron?" she asked.

"You're the first to know. Just promise me not to tell anyone." 

Back in his kitchen again, Harry started to remember why his relationship with Draco didn't work out back then. Now things would have been a lot easier than then. Besides the fact that he was married to Ginny. And his son who was deeply in love with Scorpius. And Draco who lost his beloved wife, would probably not be ready for another relationship. And would he ever, according to Scorpius, replace Astoria?

Worst part was the fact that Ginny seemed to suspect something. She always wondered if he was alright, way more often than she used to. And Harry didn't quite have feelings for her anymore. Although they had been together for 24 years, married and had children, Harry figured out that maybe he never really had feelings for her. The reason he liked her was because she was really polite and comforting after his break up with Draco. He didn't expect them to go this far, since it was Draco he wanted. But then as they were officially together he thought that it would distract him. But he was wrong.
