draco and harry

forty-three

^^

3rd person view

as draco stares at the clock counting down the minutes to midnight, he was beginning to grow tired.
*beep beep beep*
12:00 read the small bedside clock.
"happy birthday draco.." he whispered to himself.
he rolled over and nearly fell asleep straight away, little did he know what he'd wake up to.

"what the fuck is that!"
a small stag began winding its way around draco's ankle. I
it was grey and lots of shading all around it.
it suddenly hit him, it's was a soulmate mark of... potter!
"draco? you ok? you've been in there a while.." blaise said through the door.
"i'm fine.." he mumbled back.
"no one will know.." draco whispered to himself.

two months later

"i don't even know what it means, i thought about it a lot but no clue honestly.."
harry was talking to ron in their room. he had woken up and was getting dressed when he realised he had a massive dragon tattoo all the way up his back. it wove all the way from the from the head peeking over his shirt on his neck to the tail slipping down the waistband of his trousers.
ron had seen, been just as confused before saying they shook consult hermione.
"agreed."
the two ran downstairs to the common room to see hermione sat reading a book. it was a early friday morning and ron wasn't fully awake yet.
"what boys?" she said not looking up.
ron pinged her on the forehead and she looked up to see a two confused boys.
"what is it?"
harry groaned and turned around.
hermione quickly saw what they were referring to.
"oh, do you not know what this is?"
the two boys shook their heads.
"um, it's a tattoo of a dragon meaning-"
"well we know that hermione! but what does it mean!"
"if you let me finish ronald! it's a soulmate tattoo, whoever has the other corresponding yours is your uh soulmate."
the two boys stared at each other gaping widely.
"well, who has the other?"
hermione shook her head was in disappointment.
"it's rather obvious no?"
the boys shook their heads once more.
"oh boys..."
she left for the great hall, the two confused boys following along.

draco zoned out, harry noticed this, as he normally did when draco looked strange.
draco looked up at harry and he went bright red. he looked down and began to talk to ron.
does he know? he thought.
"dray!" pansy snapped him back to life.
"are you ok?" she looked worried.
"i'm fine pans.. just tired."
"soo... did you get your soulmate mark?" she asked. draco snapped his head up.
"i'll take that as a yes, what is it then?"
draco shook his head and looked down.
"ok tell me when you're ready."
pansy turned away and spoke to blaise.
draco zoned out once more.
harry looked over again. was it him?

harry was thinking as he walked around the lake. he threw a single rock, skipping along the lake, he leant on a rock.
he heard a noise and suddenly became alert.
"hey Potter.."
draco came around the corner.
"malfoy, whats wrong?"
harry became suddenly awkward and so did draco.
harry suddenly started searching draco for a tattoo.
"what the hell potter! what are you doing!"
he spun round as did harry.
"looking for.."
harry noticed his ankle had a few wraps around it.
"what is that draco?"
"did you call me draco?" he looked stunned.
"what is that?" 
he ripped off the wraps is to a stag tattoo winding around his ankle.
"oh shit.."
he stood up and draco realised.
they both knew what was happening.
they both grew red.
and harry dove for a hug nearly knocking him over.
he wrapped his arms around his waist and buried his face in his oversized jumper he had on. draco wrapped his arms around harry.

"i knew it, i just knew-" harry began.
"shhh.."
harry pulled away embarrassed.
they looked away and linked hands.

the rest of the evening was spent skipping rocks and adjusting to each other without fighting or calling each potter or malfoy.
