Drarry // Walk In The Moonlight

11. The two of us

"Malfoy where are you going?" Draco ignored him and just kept on walking. "Malfoy?" Still no answer. "Draco!" He now said a little louder. Draco smirked and screamed: "We, are going to The Room of Requirements, Potter." And he walked further down a path he knew very well as it was the same path he had taken everyday in his 6th year.

"You are aware about the fact that the room burned down last year right? I saved you that time?" Harry reminded Draco. "I know, but since we can't hang out in our Common Rooms we'll just have to think of an awesome hangout place ourselves." The taller said with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"The place only works if you really need it though." Harry said. "Yeah? Is that so? Well then I really" and Draco empathized the next word. "𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 to hang out with you." He backfired. Harry now cackled. It's not like he didn't want to hang out with Draco, there were just a lot of other places where they could hang out and Harry found it enjoyable how desperate Draco was to find a good spot. He acknowledged that the blond was really trying his best but he couldn't help but laugh when he saw Draco walk confidently in front of him.

They reached the big hallway where the blank wall was located. "Think of everything you need just not the room that burned down because I'm not trying to die today." Draco sassily said as if it wasn't partly his fault the room burned down that day. Harry tried to think of a nice room, not too big and just cozy enough for two people. Maybe one big couch soft enough to fall asleep on. Not that that was his intention. A room with little succulents and a nice smell.

No matter how long he thought of it, nothing appeared. Draco was trying as well and he knew it wasn't working. He didn't give up and closed his eyes again. "Draco I don't think it's going to work. This only works when you really need it." Harry calmly said. He didn't want to disappoint the boy so he added that they could just hang out somewhere else.

After a few more minutes of trying Draco finally agreed with Harry and they both walked to another hall. "Where do you suggest we go now?" The blonde asked. Harry thought of a place where they wouldn't get stared at by other students and maybe even teachers. He would give 20 galleons just to see McGonagall's face when she'd see Harry and Draco together without arguing.

Sometimes the raven haired wasn't over it himself. It really was the biggest plot twist this year. No return of Voldemort, no people trying to kill him by putting his name in a goblet, no escaped prisoners. Just Draco and Harry agreeing on being friends after all these years.

"Potter?" Draco asked. Harry snapped out of it. "We can go to the big stones by Hagrid's hut." Harry fastly answered, he didn't have time to think so he just went with the first thing he could think of. Draco didn't ask questions and they just went there. They walked over the Black Lake on the bridge.

It made Harry think of Lupin. When he stayed in Hogwarts while other students went to Hogsmeade, he and Lupin talked over here about Harry's parents. There were lots of places that made him think of people here in Hogwarts. Almost every place he walked by was linked to a memory with someone or something. He wasn't lying when he said Hogwarts was his home.

Draco suddenly cracked up. "Hey Potter, do you remember that one punch Granger gave me in our third year right there." And he pointed at one of the big stones that stood in a circle. Harry grinned. "As if it happened yesterday." He answered. "That was the first time a girl punched me. I must say it was a good punch. Good thing Madame Pomfrey wasn't busy that day." The blonde said while feeling his nose. "She really went for it." Harry laughed as he took place on a step coated with snow.

By the time both boys sat down it was around 8 o'clock. "Draco, why'd you stay here? I'm sure your parents could take you with them if you wanted." Harry softly said. Draco looked behind him to clear some snow from the ground to lay down. "I may or may not have overheard a conversation between a few people and I heard that Ron and Hermione were leaving." He said. "And Ron may or may not have asked me if I could stay because you turned down Ron's invitation to stay with him."

Harry didn't know what to say. Ron planned this for Harry so that he wouldn't be alone. That was yet another thoughtful thing Ron had done for Harry. "And you wanted to give up your vacation for me?" The raven haired asked. Draco let out a chuckle. "Going on vacation isn't all that fun really. And if staying here meant having more time to get to know you and spend time with you, the choice was easily made." He replied.

Harry wasn't the type to get all emotional but he felt tears form in his eyes. He quickly dabbed them away. "That's a really heartfelt thing to do Draco. Thank you, I really appreciate it." He looked at Draco and saw a smile make its way on his face. His face was beautifully lit by the moonlight. It made him look paler than ever but Harry thought it was pretty. Harry looked in his eyes and saw little twinkles. He then followed the tallers gaze and looked up to the sky.
