Wildest Dreams

The Archer

"All the king's horses, all the king's men
Couldn't put me together again
'Cause all of my enemies started out friends
Help me hold onto you"

-Taylor Swift "The Archer"

The morning after the debacle involving the infamous Lucius Malfoy, Harry wanted to lift Draco's spirits up. He quietly left their bed and went downstairs to compose letters to Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini, his boyfriend's best friends. He sent his owl to deliver the letters. Now all he could do was wait. In case Draco's friends did not write back, he opened the floo and added their magical signatures to the list of people who had access to his floo. Harry turned to go back upstairs but was interrupted by two Slytherins arguing and stumbling into his living room. In front of him was Pansy and Blaise bickering like a married couple. Both stopped dead in their tracks staring at Harry. It was one of the most painfully awkward moments in his life and he had his fair share of those.

Harry looked between the two Slytherins. "Umm hello welcome. I have called you here because yesterday, Draco had a dreadful experience. I thought it prudent to contact his best friends to try to cheer him up. I know we've never gotten along in the past due to unfortunate circumstances but I think that should change." He stopped his rambling.

Pansy stepped forward. "Such big words for a Gryffindor." She smirked.

Blaise rolled his eyes at his girlfriend. "What Pansy means is thank you for contacting us about Draco. We really appreciate it. It was quite thoughtful of you especially since it would involve spending time with former enemies." He smiled at Harry and held out his hand. Surprisingly, Harry did not hesitate and shook Blaise's hand and smiled back at him.

Pansy scuffed at the exchange. "Sucking up to our Golden Boy already, Blaise? Is that really necessary?" She sneered at Harry.

Blaise sighed. "Pansy quit your bitching! The bloody war is over so get over yourself already! Harry extended an olive branch to both of us because he is concerned for Draco. He did not invite us here just for you to attack him. Please behave yourself!" He snarled at her.

Harry was not sure how to respond. "Pansy, I know, there's bad blood between the two of us. I truly love Draco. He makes me incredibly happy and makes me feel loved which I've never experienced before, at least not romantically. For his sake, you and I need to put the past behind us. I am willing to if you are." He smiled softly. Both Slytherins were surprised by what he had said.

Pansy huffed out a sigh. "Bloody hell, fine! Have it your way, Saviour. I will try to do my best to leave the past in the past but I am not making any promises. And if you ever break my Draco's heart, you will wish you never came back to life in the battle." She looked smug because Harry looked a bit terrified.

Blaise chuckled a bit. "I think that is as good as it will get for you, Potter. I am sure once she gets her head out of her arse and actually gets to know you she will like you. I mean Draco loves you so you can not be all bad now can you?" He genuinely smiled at Harry.

Harry nods at Pansy. "Uhh, umm, why don't I get Draco." He walks up the stairs.

As he walks into their bedroom, he hears whimpering. "Dray, are you okay?" He snuggled up next to him. "I have a surprise waiting for you downstairs, love."

Draco sniffled a bit. "I am not in the mood for surprises, Potter. I just want to stay in bed and feel sorry for myself." He sighed.

Harry huffed out a chuckle. "This surprise is worth it." He gets off the bed and literally drags Draco out of bed. "You are coming with me whether you like it or not."

As they descend the stairs, they both hear bickering coming from the living room.

Blaise and Pansy see their best friend and attack him with a double hug. "What are you two doing here?" Draco looks at Harry suspiciously.
