Twist Of Fate *Muggle AU*

The Date

Harry's POV

How long had it been since I had seen Draco? About four days? I wasn't one hundred percent sure. What I was sure of, was our last encounter. I confided in him, outside of his office. Somehow that felt deeper, made me feel connected to him. Now there was this- invisible line. Connecting us, a bond that continued to strengthen as time went on. A trust, a relationship, that was built. There had been some nights where I had dreamed of white-blond hair under the moon and the stars. Looking at me with those soulful, silver-gray eyes. I would get lost in those eyes, see their longing. We would be incredibly close, our skin just barely touching. My whole body felt as if it was on fire, then, I'd wake up. My dreams could never imagine anything more.

"That's because it will never be more." I reminded myself cruelly out loud. I couldn't get hung up on a relationship with my damn psychologist. Especially a phycologist for whom I had unrequited feelings, as I was sure Draco did not fancy me in the way I did him. Draco was.... Well for one, he was Draco. Proud, graceful, gorgeous, intelligent, professional and most importantly. Way out of my league. Even if Draco did fancy men, which he did, he had told me so, that most certainly did not mean he fancied me. Plus what did we really have in common, other than our past?

I sighed, my mind set, or at least I thought I had it set. My phone rang, allowing me to busy myself with it, and the person who was calling.

"Hey Luna. What's up?" I asked with a small smile, glad for the distraction.

"Hey Harry. Would you mind dressing up and meeting me at The Three Broomsticks? It's kind of important." Luna inquired, though her voice held no urgency. I shot up out of my seat nonetheless. I reassured her that I would meet her there, and without another question got dressed. Something simple, black dress pants and shoes. A long sleeved green button up, a black suit jacket, and my black textured tie. Then I was out the door in a jiffy.

The drive there wasn't very long, and I was able to find a parking space rather quickly. I met up with Luna, who seemed to be wearing her everyday clothes, at the entrance. I gave her a questioning look, and she gave me one of her ethereal smiles back.

"I set you up on a blind date." She stated without missing a beat. My heart dropped, and it showed on my face. "Before you can argue, I already know what you're going to say. And I already know that I have won. Because you dressed up so well, and look very handsome, and at this point it would be such a waste if your date didn't at least see you." I deflated visibly, and almost gave into defeat before something awful popped in my head. I opened my mouth and Luna put a finger up to silence me. "Now Harry Potter. Do you really believe that I would set you up with either Ginny or Cho?" She almost looked as if I had really insulted her. Even though I didn't even open my mouth, Luna knew exactly what was on my mind. So I slumped, completely conquered and cooperative.

Luna led me to the back, where there was a private section. Steering me to a table with an all too familiar full head of white blond hair. He was currently nose deep into his phone.

"I'll leave you two alone." Luna giggled and floated off before I could close my jaw, which had fallen open. Draco looked up at me, and looked as shocked as I did.

"I don't know if I can do this." I whispered, still shocked at who my date was. Was Luna crazy? Part of me ached for the possibilities, ached for Draco. And that absolutely terrified me. I backed up nervously a couple paces before I heard his chair scrape across the floor and his hand was wrapped around my wrist. Not forcefully just- just reassuringly.
