~Three Months Later~

"Fuck!"

Hermione laughed as Ron put his hands over his eyes. Blaise had a smug smile on his face as he leaned on the table near them.

"I told you you shouldn't have bet money on it," Hermione said.

Ron groaned and took out his wallet, bringing out a 50 pound bill and handing it to Blaise.

Blaise stuck out his tongue as he waved the bill around before putting it into his own wallet. Ginny and Hermione laughed at Ron's misfortune.

"I guess that shows you that I have good aim," Blaise said, throwing a playful wink at Ginny.

Ginny smiled slightly and Hermione only put an arm on Ron's shoulder, looking at him with a playful grin.

"How about...my turn. And I bet 25 pounds," she said, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, you wish," Ron said before landing a quick kiss on her lips.

Hermione smiled before grabbing a dart and fixing her position. She aimed carefully and threw a dart. It landed near to the bullseye, gaining a wince from Ron.

"You better watch out, Weasley. She's on the hunt for gold," Blaise exclaimed, going to stand nearer to Ginny.

Harry watched this all unfold as he drank some of his cocktail. He smiled and felt his chest warm up at the sight of his friends being happy. He had finally some peace in his own life as well as some of the best moments.

"I'm back."

Draco slid into the chair next to him and looked at Harry. They made brief eye contact before Harry turned to watch his friends.

"Are they betting on darts again?" He asked with amusement.

"Yup. Ron is 75 pounds poorer and Ginny's about to be 25 pounds richer," Harry said with a small laugh.

"Hey, Draco! C'mon. I know how much you suck at darts. One round wouldn't hurt," Blaise called out.

"No thanks, mate. I don't feel like losing money tonight," Draco said, slipping his hand into Harry's.

Harry felt the warmth in his chest again and he turned to look at Draco. Draco had a warm smile that had started appearing a lot more often. And Harry felt glad that he finally got to see this side of Draco.

After their meeting at the park, they had been in friendlier relations and had started going on dates. Hermione, Ron, and Ginny noticed the change in Harry almost at once and asked away at his house. He had never felt as prodded at. Draco didn't wait long before asking to be exclusive which was something Harry thought would never come. Blaise was the one who'd recommended it as he was always a bit smarter at those sort of things. Draco had felt as if it were a proposal thing (which it wasn't, yet). But they had started going out a lot more and just enjoying each other's company. Harry got to see Draco's house and they lived a lot more domestically.

"Why are you staring so much? Do you really want me that badly?" Draco said with a playful smile.

"I always want you that badly," Harry said nonchalantly before taking a sip of his cocktail.

Harry tried not to laugh as he saw a pink settle over Draco's face. He heard a groan coming from his friends. He saw Ginny hand some money to Ron, who whooped with excitement and triumph.

"You know, back in school, I never thought I'd be this happy," Harry said wistfully.

"Me neither. But, looks like life had better plans for you."

Harry smiled at Draco who returned the gesture. He rubbed his thumb on Harry's hand and sighed contentedly.

"Harry, let's play," Hermione called out, urging him to step up to the game.

"I'm not very good at aiming," he called back.

"Oh, yeah. He's definitely the worst at aiming," Draco added, getting some laughter from Blaise.

"That's more than I've ever wanted to know," said Hermione with a slight look of disgust on her face.

"Draco," Harry said, slapping Draco's arm playfully. "You're the one who couldn't aim. My eye still burns at the thought of it."

Draco's eyes grew slightly wider and he turned pink again.

"I didn't mean to have that happen. I wasn't looking," he said, clearing his throat.

"What are you losers talking about?" Ginny said as she neared their table.

"Nothing," Draco squeaked before taking a drink of Harry's cocktail.

"They were talking about sex."

Draco coughed and sputtered out, "Blaise!"

Harry laughed and winked at them, causing Draco to hide his face in his hands. He was still quite the dramatic. Harry smiled as he grabbed one of Draco's hands and held it.

"You know, Ron and I have an announcement to make," Hermione said, looking at Ron and then at the others. They all looked in anticipation at her but Ron spilled the news:

"We're going to move in together. We tried to keep our dating secret for longer than we'd let you guys know and now that it's out, we're going to try to find a nice apartment.

Ginny exclaimed in surprise and basically threw herself into Ron. She laughed as she hugged him and then laughed once more as she threw herself into Hermione. Meanwhile, everyone else offered congratulations and hugs.

"Ahh! Before we know it, I'll have another sister," she exclaimed, looking at the couple with a bright smile.

Hermione and Ron seemed to blush and Ron said, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves yet. Um, well, we have to go. Still got to look for a good place."

"I'm so happy for you guys. I'll have you a house warming gift soon," said Blaise with a warm smile. "I got to go as well. My sister's in town and well, I got a family reunion to go to. Ginny, need a ride home?"

"Yes, please. And thank you. Well, bye Harry. Bye Malf- er, uh Draco. We'll see you around."

Harry sighed as everyone parted. He looked at Draco and leaned into him.

"Blaise and Ginny seem to be having a thing," he said before sipping his cocktail.

"Hm...I don't know. Blaise hasn't mentioned anything yet," Draco said, looking at Harry.

"You know, I'd like to be with you long enough to move in with you. We could learn even more about each other then," Draco muttered, making Harry strain to hear him.

The statement made butterflies erupt in Harry's stomach. He turned to look at Draco. His pale skin, his gray eyes, his blond hair. Harry learned to love Draco's jokes and his snarky comments on other things. He just loved everything about Draco.

"You're staring again," Draco turned with a soft smile to face Harry. "What's up?"

Harry glanced at Draco's lips and back up at Draco's mesmerizing gray eyes. Draco scoffed and said the one thing Harry loved to hear from him.

"Just kiss me already."
