It was a lovely evening . Birds were returning to their homes chirping sweetly , wind was blowing so gently , Beautiful solitude was spreading here and there . There is peace everywhere after the battle of Hogwarts .
Harry let out a sigh of mixed feelings looking at that , sitting on a short rock in the forbidden forest . The forest wasn't that much unsafe anymore after the war.
Black veil of night was arising slowly on western sky. Towers of Hogwarts in front of the sky was looking like a still portrait to Harry. He got lost in his thoughts again until something or someone started moving on the top floor of one of the towers in front of him . By this he came back to reality and realized that he was actually staring at that tower . Now someone was moving there , Harry saw someone was leaving the tower . Was he been watched for time since he's sitting here alone ?
By the time Full moon was coming up , the forest was looking magical in moonlight . Soft light and shadow on leaves were playing hide and seek . Everything was so calm .
Professor Lupin , the moon reminds him of his favourite professor . Besides , oh , Sirius , his Godfather . The war took everyone he actually could have a family with .
Harry buried his head in his knees . Memories hurt him , so much. Tears started rolling down his flushed cheek . He seemed too broken to be consoled.
Few hours passed away like this , none came asking his name , Harry was wondering if Hermione and Ron returned from hogsmade yet.
A sad sign came out of his chest and got melt in cold air of forest.
Suddenly there was a noise , of footsteps on died leaves on ground . Harry seemed not to be curious about it. He stayed in same state as he was , sitting , with legs and arms folded.
" Hey Potter ... " Someone called his name from behind . Harry didn't need to turn back to see who it was. He knew it.
" What is it , Malfoy .... What do you want now ?" Harry Asked with shaky deemed voice .
" I just came to ask , why were you following me when I was wandering on the tower ..?" Draco rolled his eyes and sat beside Harry . It was unusual. The Slytherin king could never sit on dirty rock like this before . Harry noticed this .
" Follow you ... ? Why would I do that ? " He asked with bitterness .
" That was exactly my question .. Potter " Draco shrugged his shoulders impatiently .
Harry was silent , like he had nothing in his mind to spit out.
Since 6th year he and Draco were getting into a weird relationship . Neither they were friends nor enemies anymore. Both of them were so confused about the matter , whenever they were up to fighting , both of them used to get confused if they wanted to beat each other up or slam each other against wall and kissing.

" Hey Potter ... Would you keep crying or care to tell me anything " Harry came back to reality as Draco was shaking him by his shoulder. There was something in his voice , Harry could feel it .
He looked at Draco's grey eyes and said " Draco ..." Draco said nothing and took Harry's hands .
Few moments were full of silence and awkrdness like what the hell did just happen !
" Harry Potter , did you just call me by my name ? " Draco smirked first . " Yes I did .." Harry said looking at ground .
" Heh .." suddenly Draco stood up . Bright moonlight was slipping over his golden blond hair , he was looking like a character of black and white movies . There was dirt on his black coat ,from somewhere on the ground where he was sitting . He seemed not to pay attention to that. He took out his wand .
As Harry had no idea what was Draco upto , he looked up at his face. Draco's grey eyes were so stupifying Harry . Draco casted a nonverbal charm and someone started playing some instrument which was a mixture of old piano and some other instrument , unknown to Harry. It was so perfect , so involving with the surrounding situation.
" Hey ..." Draco offered his hand to Harry. Harry's emerald eyes got widened , he was outspoken and still .
" Come on ...join me " Draco was so enthusiastic about the dance he wanted to have with Potter. Harry stood up and took Draco's hand. Immediately , Draco put his hand on Harry's waist . Harry shook .
They both were so close ,to each other , looking at each other's eyes , Harry's lips were trembling as he wanted to say something but couldn't . Draco looked at that and bought his own lips nearer to that. Harry didn't notice when his left arm got around Draco's neck.
Both were breathing so heavily , " Harry .. since when you wanted to dance with me ? " Draco had a dominating tone in his question which just forced Harry to be honest with his answer " ummmm... Since yule Ball , but I , I got tensed and nervous about how would you take it , so I asked out Cho ..." He murmured .
" Potterrrrrr " suddenly Draco screamed " stop stepping on my feet " And pushed Harry.
" Ugh , Malfoy ..stop being such git " Harry fell on ground over dried leaves. Draco , for some reason had a smile on his lips . He bent down on Harry and Slammed the Gryffindor boy on ground. That was enough for Harry . He grasped Draco's tie and drag his face towards his own. Last thing he remembered to see Draco's eyes , closed and in 1 inch distance . He took the Slytherin's lips inside his own. Draco's one hand was on Harry's chest and another touching his face. He was shivering with excitement.
Draco pulled away first and giggled " can we finish the dance first ...? Um.. because it's our first one "
" Sure , as you wish ..." Harry said running his fingers in Draco's blond locks . They stood up. Some beautiful fragrance was coming from somewhere . They closed their eyes and lost themselves with beat of the music.

" Do you think , Harry is bit upset nowdays , Hermione ? " Ron asked . They were on way to Hogwarts from Hogsmade .
" I don't understand Ronald , he is still so tensed and lost ..., We should talk about this " Hermione groaned. She was clearly worried about her best friend . They were crossing by Forbidden forest .
" Mione , do you hear that ? " Ron chuckled.
" Hear what .? Oh , wait , yes , some music .. what is that ..?" Hermione seemed curious and anxious. They entered the forest , the source of sound was distinct , they started following it. They were almost near ..
" What on earth ....?" Ron screamed !
Hermione was a behind " what ? "
" Did you see ....that coming , Bloody hell " Ron was shocked at the sight . Hermione said nothing but her jaw dropped .
" NO ,but Yes ...." She nodded.
" Should we go and talk to them , Mione " Ron was still acting weird . His face was growing bright red matching his hair almost.
" Ugh Ronald , leave 'em alone , let's leave " Hermione groaned and pulled Ron behind .
What they saw was so beautiful , Draco and Harry dancing , keeping each other's hand on their bodies , hugging , Harry keeping his head on Draco's shoulder . In the moonlight .
Ron and Hermione left silently.

" Did they say anything bad .. Draco ? " Harry whispered at Draco's ear.
" I don't think so. Granger was even smiling ... Not sure about weaselbee tho " Draco whispered back almost touching Harry's ear.
Harry let out another sigh , filled with fullfillness this time . As she always wanted this , since the day they came here together on detention in their first year .

The moon was literally smiling looking at these two boys .
