Drarry Oneshots (A-Z Challenge)

Bound

Must read! Background info:
Soulmate AU where an intangible red piece of string connects you to your soulmate. At first the string is completely invisible. When both mates have turned 15 the string becomes visible to everyone except you. When you turn 25 it becomes completely visible. Once you kiss your soulmate you get a fully visible golden ring around your wrist. (If your soulmate dies the ring turns blue)

Harry had stayed at the burrow over the summer leading up to his 5th year. Hermione had also decided to stay at the burrow, especially since her and Ron had discovered their bond during the previous year. On his birthday Hermione informed him that his soulmate string had become visible. This didn't tell him much other than that they were older than him, but until he could see it there wasn't much he could do.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione had just gotten back to Hogwarts. They had ridden the train, sat through the sorting, and unpacked all of their stuff. So they decided to head down to the lake. It looked like many other students had similar plans, since the grounds were actually quite busy.

The trio was heading toward their usual spot, under the tree where the Marauders sat before them, when somebody ran into Harry knocking him to the ground. Harry looked up to see that this someone was none other than a certain blonde Slytherin.

"Good Merlin Potter! You'd think with those terrible glasses on your face you'd at least be able to watch where you're going."

"Too bad they can't stop idiots from doing otherwise."

"What are you implying Potter?"

"I'm not Implying anything. I'm telling you that you're an idiot with no decency."

"I have more decency in my pinky than you do in your entire body. And as to me being an idiot... well I'm not the one who's almost gotten killed at least once a year am I?"

Harry begins to notice the building crowd of onlookers, but doesn't pay it too much mind. "At least I'm not an arse to everybody I meet."

"harry... "

He rolled his eyes, "Just because I don't chum up to everyone doesn't mean I'm an arse Potter."

"No, you being an arse means you're an arse Malfoy. Speaking of... Don't you have some first years to go and bully? Surely you can't have gotten to them all already?"

"Harry..."

He rolled his eyes again, "First years? Really Potter? What kind of person do you think I am? I'm not cruel!"

"Are you sure about that Malfoy? Because..."

"HARRY!"

"WHAT HERMIONE!?!"

"Umm, well..." She looked down at her feet, unsure what to say.

Harry looked around to see the gathered crowd of shocked faces. Up until now he hadn't noticed, but they were all dead silent. That started to scare him. "What? What is it?" He looked back at Hermione, starting to freak out. "HERMIONE WHAT'S GOING ON?!?"

Hermione looked at Ron, then back at Harry and sighed. "Well the good news is we found your soulmate. The bad news is you're not gonna like it."

"Awe! Poor little Potter is having soulmate problems?" Malfoy smirked.

Ron scoffed, "I wouldn't start teasing quite yet Malfoy."

"And why's that Weasel?" Draco sneered.

"Umm, Harry?" Hermione spoke up, "You're string is connected to... Malfoy."

Both boys froze in shock. "What?"

"They're telling the truth Draco." Parkinson stepped forward.

Draco looked at Pansy for a moment before scoffing, "Yeah right."

Hermione's head snapped up, "Excuse me?!"

"Come on! Did you really think I'd fall for that? It's just some elaborate prank that you all decided to play on us. Quite a lot of effort gone to waste, I must say."

"They're not lying!" Said a girl from the crowd, but Draco wasn't convinced.

"Why don't you kiss if you don't believe us!" Yelled a man from the crowd.

"Oh please. Potter? My soulmate? That's about as likely as him being a Slytherin."

Harry's head snapped up, "Hey Malfoy?"

Draco turned his head toward Harry, "Wha...?" But before he could even get a word out Harry grabbed the front of his robes and smashed their lips together.

When he pulled away he looked down to see that their wrists were indeed glowing gold, then looked up to meet the other boys eyes and smirked, "Did I ever tell you I was supposed to be a Slytherin?"

Harry could physically see a thousand thoughts running through Draco's head. He let go of the front of Draco's robes and started to walk away, "See you later Draco." He said without looking back, but before he could get more than a few steps Draco pulled him back by the waist and spun him around, smashing their lips together once more. After a moment Harry started to melt, but just when he was about to completely let go Draco pulled away and smirked, "You would've never made it in Slytherin." Then took off run in the opposite direction.

Harry stood there blinking for a moment before he realized what just happened and took off after him. "Hey! Come back here you little...!" But all that could be heard of the two boys from that point on, was the giggling laughter that followed.

I'm not sure yet but, I might do more with this prompt. I really like it and put a lot of thinking into the background for such a short story. Either I'll turn it into a longer story or use the prompt multiple times. I've thought about making a soulmate oneshot book. Let me know what you think in the comments.
