Draw The Line

The First Date: Chapter 30

The next two days seemed like they'd never pass in Harry's opinion, but soon it was Halloween and Draco had agreed to go with him to Hogsmeade for their first date.

Draco had snuck off to Blaise's dorm room early in the morning because he was so nervous over the date that he didn't want to see Harry yet.

Draco stared at his reflection in the mirror in Blaise's bathroom. He was dressed in dark pants that hugged his hips and were rolled at the bottom. He also had on a pair of black shoes and a plain light-blue long-sleeved shirt he had gotten over the summer.

He let out a sigh as he took in his hair. He didn't always sleek it back anymore and had recently let it hang a bit loose around his head. Would he like it better if I styled it? Draco asked as he ran his hands through the slightly damp strands, or should I leave it?

Pansy came up to the bathroom door then after a few minutes sitting, smirking, on Blaise's bed. Draco hadn't told them he had a date but Pansy had noticed something was up, regardless.

"I think Harry would like your hair styled messily."

"I don't know- wait what? I'm not worried about that!"

"Your face says it all," Pansy said, finally moving out of the doorway and walking up next to Draco, "here, let me help." Pansy picked up the small container of hair-styling potion. "You need to style it, but don't slick it back. You're not your dad. You need your own style."

Draco blushed slightly, he knew it was a bit true... he really needed his own style.

"Make it messy."

"Don't ruin my hair like Potter's."

Pansy rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to ruin your hair." Pansy stuck her fingers in the potion and rubbed it on her hands, bringing them up to his hair and messing it up.

"I'm going to look like I just rolled out of bed!" Draco complained.

"Nah, this is how people are wearing it now-a-days," Blaise chimed in as he walked into the bathroom too.

"Yeah," Pansy said, finishing, "You look hot now, I'd date you if I wasn't a flaming gay." Pansy gave him her most winning smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thanks," Draco mumbled.

"So, are we not gonna address the elephant in the room?" Blaise finally chimed in, "How on earth did you score a date with Potter?"

"I don't have a date with him, I just decided to dress nicely. Is that so wrong?"

"Neither of us believe that Draco," Pansy laughed.

Draco sighed, leaning back against the bathroom sink. "He asked me out."

"Wait! He asked you out?!" Pansy said, clasping her hands together in excitement.

"Is that really a shock?" Blaise laughed, "He was so deep in the closet I thought he'd never make it out."

Draco sent him a glare but continued, "He kissed me about two weeks ago and then cornered me in potions the other day and asked me out."

"Wait! Slow down! He kissed you?! Oh my goodness! I'm so happy for you Draco!" Pansy said, throwing her arms around him and hugging him. Draco allowed himself to smile a little bit, he was extremely happy after all.

Harry woke up on Halloween and rushed down to eat. Hermione and Ron shared looks as Harry practically inhaled his food and then muttered a quick goodbye as he ran out of the dinning hall.
