Slow Dance With Me (drarry social media AU)

Chapter 4

With shaking fingers, Harry began to type out his response.

((((Bold is Harry and Normal is Draco))))

I should apologize before you start yelling at me through the phone first lol

I'm sorry for the way I treated you and all of your friends during our school days and for my actions during the war. There's no excuse for the things I did, but I can provide clarity. My parents have forced their beliefs on me since i could breathe and I was too scared to rebel. I can see now how wrong those opinions were and I never intended for anyone to get hurt.

I know you and your friends will never forgive me, but I want you to see that i'm really fucking sorry. For everything.

Ok, you can yell at me now :)

I'm not going to yell at you. I want you to know that I don't blame you for the actions that took place during the war and I forgive you for the way you acted in school. You were just a kid with a bad influence, and it would be petty of me to hold that against you.

I hope we can start over and be friends :)

Harry let out a breath he had been holding. It was true, he didn't blame Draco for the war, nor the way he acted in school. He was just a boy with a bad role model and twisted ideals.

Harry sighed as he looked back down at his phone. How was he supposed to do this? This whole crush thing? Merlin, he was torn between throwing his phone in the great lake and fleeing to Peru with a new identity, or going over to Malfoy Manor right now and kissing those soft-looking pink lips.

He nervously bit on the back of his thumb as he saw the "typing..." symbol appear next to Draco's username. This was the moment that would determine his fate and the only thing he could think of was how soft Draco's hair looked in his profile picture.

Bloody hormones.

ding!

His eyes flickered quickly across his phone as he read the new message.

I would really like that :)

Perhaps we could plan a trip to Hogsmeade once school starts up? Just to get to know each other a little better?

Only if you want to of course

Harry's heart stopped beating for a straight minute.

He re read the message just to make sure he wasn't hallucinating and then pinched himself for good measure.

Once he was sure that he was in fact, not dreaming or high on acid, his face broke into a grin.

With his heart in his throat, he quickly typed out a response.

9:50
Absolutely :) I would really love that.
