Draw The Line

Acceptance: Chapter 48

It was silent for a moment as everyone seemed to process what Harry just said.

"Malfoy?" George asked, pulling a face of disgust, "Why would you like that git? He was a prat to all three of you when you guys were younger."

"Yeah, didn't you guys hate each other?" Charlie asked.

"Not to mention he was on the opposite side of the war," Arthur said.

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, Harry thought miserably.

"Draco has changed a lot since then," Hermione finally spoke up, and Harry looked at her with surprise, "He actually came to me and apologized for how he acted towards me several weeks ago." This was news to Harry and his eyebrows went up, Draco hadn't mentioned it, and neither had Hermione. Hermione elbowed Ron when she finished talking and everyone stared at her.

"Oh, um- yeah, he can still be a git- ow!" Hermione elbowed him again, "but he's been pretty nice to us this year. I think he regrets how he acted in the past. He and Harry are roommates too, and they've gotten along pretty well."

Molly looked disbelievingly at them. "He's been really nice to Luna too," Ginny spoke up, "They're friends."

Harry didn't know this either and decided he really needed to ask Draco about what he did when he wasn't with him when he got back.

"Well I just hope you know what you're doing Harry," Molly said, "I know you two didn't get along in the past..."

"He's not going to hurt me," Harry insisted.

"Alright, well I trust your judgement. I can't stop you from dating who you want, but I just don't want you hurt," Molly said and everyone else readily agreed.

Harry sent Ron, Hermione, and Ginny grateful looks.

When they all got back to Ron's room after lunch Hermione immediately rounded on him, "Tell me everything!"

"Yeah, you promised to tell me what happened while you were at Draco's as well," Ginny said, flopping down on Ron's bed.

"Alright, alright," Harry laughed, then turned to Ron and Hermione, "And you're really okay with this? I thought you'd be a bit more shocked..."

"Oh we knew," Ron said nonchalantly.

"You knew?!" Harry asked, shocked.

"Yeah, it was pretty obvious, Harry," Hermione said and Ginny snickered.

"Ugh, it was that obvious huh?"

"Yeah, very," Ron laughed.

"Now tell me what happened!" Hermione whined, "I want to know from the beginning!"

"Well I actually kissed him back in October and then a few weeks later was when we actually got together," Harry began telling Hermione everything from the beginning. "And then his mom came in to wake us and they caught us in bed together, apparently his parents knew he liked me though and didn't mind," Harry concluded, blushing slightly.

"No way, they were really okay with it?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah, apparently his dad was angry about it at first, but got used to the idea or something I suppose."

"No way, I thought for sure they wouldn't be okay with it," Ginny said.

"Same here, I was just as shocked as you."

-----------------------------

Sunday Draco sat at the Gryffindor table with the rest of the Slytherin trio for the welcome back feast. He was holding hands proudly with Harry and he could hear people talking about them through the hall, but for once he couldn't care less.

He was happy and that was all that mattered.

The End

A/N: Hey guys! That was the last chapter! There will still be an epilogue of course, so look out for that though.
