Harry Pov:
I cant function anymore. Days after the event and it hurts. Hurts so bad. But Terry Boot, Ginny with Terry Boot.
"Another?" The bartender said, gesturing to my now empty glass. I simply nodded in return, even words are too much. Another drink to lessen the pain. We were going to have a family. Children to call our own, but she had to go with Terry Boot.
Draco's Pov:
Life is boring but drink isn't. I swung into the bar, familiar faces sticking out to me like old friends. Ah Jerrys on bar tonight.
"Hello Jerry! I'd like something fancier tonight, something to spice up the night!" I laughed.
"In a minute, lemme get this guys drink first. You're not the only person who needs some liquid help." He said as he poured the last of a bottle into the mans glass. I stared at the man at the bar, trying to read him. Reading people had become something of a favourite of mine. His hair was expensively cut, but not washed or even combed. Reminds me of an old school peer. The only part of the jaw I could see was clearly not shaved. His life was slowly crashing; Twinning!
"Soooooo, what's happening with you?" I said as I slid down to sit next to this mysterious man. Almost in slow mo, he turned and faced me; Harry Potter.
Harry Pov:
Draco Malfoy. The last person I'd ever expect to see.
"Malfoy." I said, taking me back to my time at Hogwarts.
"Potter." He replied, in a colder tone than before. He looked rugged, still good, but not the rich man I use to know. "Like my new look Potter?" He smirked.
"Look can you just leave me alone, I'm really not in the mood." I snapped, rolling my eyes and downing my drink.
"Oh." Was all he said in reply. Out the corner of my eye, I saw him move down a few stools and down his own drink. He looked miserable, but so did everyone else in here. How did the great Draco Malfoy get like this?
"Look, I'm sorry. My life has just took a really drastic turn recently and I don't know how to take it unless its with a side of extreme drunkness." He looked up at me.
"Welcome to the club kiddo!" He laughed. Was anyone happy anymore? "Wanna talk about it?" He added. Something I had wanted to hear for ages.
"So I walk into our bedroom in the house I brought for us to live in and raise a family in and she's in bed shagging fucking Terry Boot!" I said, anger coursing through my body.
"The ravenclaw?!" He shouted in disbelief, making people turn and stare. I nodded. "Who would've thought he'd have the guts for that? If I breathed near him, he would bolt to the other side of the school." I laughed for the first time and Draco Malfoy was the cause of it.
"Well before storming out of the house, which I now hate, she told me she done it because apparently I was terrible at sex, which is not true and we'd make ugly babies." I said in a cheerier tone than I normally say it. Draco threw back another shot.
"Right I have some things to say about that. First of all, the only reasons the babies would be ugly is cause of her, seriously Potter you could've had anyone on their knees in seconds! Secondly, first thing you're going to do tomorrow is put that house on the market. You'll get loads if you list it publicly under your name." He said, swaying at he talked and holding his glass up like he was giving a toast.
"I gotta go to the Weasley's tomorrow and give Ginny's stuff back. Plus Ron invited me to their family lunch again, which I use to go to all the time." I said, sighing at how ruined it will be now. Draco drunkenly slapped my shoulder.
"No! That will be so bad and sooooo painful. The bitch will probably be there and I'm sure her family wont like you calling her a lying, cheating bitch. So no Potter, bad boy. Now come on, lets go and get pissed somewhere else." I couldn't shake his knowledge, he was pretty right. I sent Ron a text: Wasssssuppp, unfortunrmmf I,, m unfable to co e tomroote as dracko tolf me not too and ih not a baf boye. cime gegt the lyrin g bitched dtuff doon as I'm seeling the house. byeeeee
We stumbled out into the cold streets, not sure what to do next.
"The only bars open are gay ones, so if you're also okay with having balls in your face, wrapped in tight thin mesh then we can head there?" Draco asked. However my eyes were focused on something else. Across the street was Ginny and Terry kissing under the lamppost, crushing whatever will to live I had left. "Oh that's a real sobering sight." Draco muttered next to me. It was definitely sobering alright. After they were done, she looked over at me and smiled a devious grin. everything had worked out for her now. I felt someone take my hand and lead me away as the tears started to fall, bring me back to my senses and surroundings. My phone was flooding with texts.
Ron: What? Are you drunk? Look I know life hasn't particularly been kind to you, but you don't need to get pissed.
Ron: Plus what's this about Malfoy? Look, I know you're hurt, but please don't be stupid! You can come stay with us for a bit if your house is too painful
Ginny: Sleeping with Malfoy now? Always knew you had a thing for the enemy.
Ginny: Plus Terry is a much better boyfriend and my whole family loveee him more than they loved you
Reading them hurt. I hated what my life had become. Was there point in my living anymore?
"Hey, um look, Potter... No Harry, you deserve much better than that bitch. Trust me, you're a great guy and whoever ends up with you is lucky." He said, in a voice so caring, it made me cry even more.
"Whats the point in all this? I've lost the woman I loved and everything with it." I cried. The next thing I knew, we were back at my house and I had stopped crying.
"Nice house." Draco said as he walked inside.
"It was once." I sighed as I sunk down on the staircase. I watched Draco wander about, staring at pictures I refuse to take down.
"Oh Potterrr." Draco whined sadly as he picked up our proposal picture.
"She said no to that. Said she wasn't emotionally ready for it." I sighed.
"Potter you're such an idiot. I'm chucking all of these now. I don't give a shit about your feelings cause you're a good man and she's the biggest bitch I know for letting the best boyfriend in the world go. Ughhhh I hate her!" He shouted before throwing the picture on the floor. I stared in shock, what did he just say? Draco walked across to me, sliding down to me and resting his head on my shoulder.
"You alright there?" I asked, noticing the tears running down his face. Slowly, he shook his head.
"Potter, I've always liked you. More than just like, ya know. I love you mannnnn." He cried. God he was so drunk.
"You're so drunk Malfoy, I guess you'll have to stay here for the night. I'll make up the guest room." I sighed before standing up. Part of me wished it was true. Maybe that's what I needed to get me out of my slump, a fresh start and a new love. Maybe I needed Draco.
"Harry I'm not drunk, well I am. But I know what I'm saying. I'm also cold in your massive house and disappointed that your little drink counter thing Is all empty." He replied. I walked back down the stairs.
"Look if you feel the same way tomorrow morning, i'll consider it."
*TIMEEE SKIIIIPPP... TWAS THE NEXT MORNING (that didn't work)*
Draco POV:
Ouch. My head was banging as I became conscious to the world. A groan next to me alerted me I wasn't alone. Oh god I had done it againnn and lets hope its actually a man this time! My eyes focused on a mop of brown, thick curls.
"Um hello." I said, finding it hard to speak due to my extremely dry throat. The unknown man turned over and my heart stopped. Did I sleep with Harry Potter?
"Oh hi, forgot you were here. Breakfast?" He asked with a warm but slightly awkward smile.
"Did we..."
"Noooo. You came in at like 5am and just crashed onto my bed saying you were, and I quote, 'sad, cold and drunk, the unholy trio'" Harry laughed. I smahed my head into the pillow, trying to forget that this is where Ginny probably slept and Harry probably hadn't washed it.
"I'm sorry." I muttered, extremely embarrassed at how I had acted.
"Its fine, i'll level with your embarrassment with the breakfast menu. Dry cereal and black coffee." I shuddered with how bad that would be on my half dead body.
"What cereal?"
"Whatever's left of the one Hermione brought me." He laughed.
"Sounds thrilling." I replied as I followed him out of the room.
Harry passed me a bowl of something that had what I assumed was dried fruit.
"Sooo about last night?" Harry asked as he ate a spoonful of the extremely dry cereal. I groaned. I remembered last time completely and knew what he was going to ask. "Do you still feel the same or was it just drunken thoughts?" Potter asked. I could save him the pain of me and say no, but then it'd crush me.
"It wasn't drunken thoughts. I've liked you since our early Hogwarts days and it killed me that I could never tell you and that we could never be. I guess all I needed was some liquid courage to get me to tell you. I understand if you don't feel the same way as I don't even know If you like men and you just got out of a relationship so like-"
"Draco." Harry said, stopping me mid sentence.
"Yeah?" I looked up at him, trying to read his emotions but he was unreadable.
"I do like men as well as women but most of all, I like Draco. I liked you back in Hogwarts but then I got with Ginny as I felt like I had too. What we had was real and I did love her, but she completely ruined me. However, Hermione told me I need a fresh chance and you are completely different so Draco Malfoy, will you do me the honour of being my boyfriend?" I nearly fell off my stool.
"Only if you buy better cereal."
