The Potter Problem (Drarry)

Chapter 9

Harry walked into transfiguration smiling from ear to ear. He walked over to sit with Hermione, who shared a glance with Ron before turning to speak to Harry.

"Harry.. are you okay?" Hermione asked, looking at him with worry. Harry snapped out of his daze, looking up at her and seeming to realize where he was.

"What? Oh, yea, I'm fine." he said, dropping the happy expression and resting his head on his arms. Hermione looked at Ron, shrugging. Ron turned to Harry, nudging him.

"Listen, mate. I'm really sorry about the whole Malfoy thing. I was out of line." He said, hoping for Harry's forgiveness.

"It's fine, Ron. Just don't do it again." He said, giving his best friend a warm smile. Ron smiled, relieved, just as a certain blond Slytherin entered the room.

"Potter." He said with a sneer, as he walked past the Gryffindor's seat. Harry stared after him, confused. Had he done something? He couldn't think of any reason for Draco to act like this. They had been perfectly fine, earlier.

He was upset, but he didn't want to give it away. He quickly put on a bored face, turning to stare towards the front of the classroom again. The brunet wasn't quick enough, however, because Hermione saw the look of hurt in his eyes. She leaned over, whispering in his ear.

"What's wrong with Malfoy?" Harry just shrugged, pretending not to care, and focused his attention as McGonagall started speaking.

"That class was shit." Blaise said as he and Draco left transfiguration. Draco nodded in agreement, but was too deep in thought to respond. He had seen the look of hurt on Harry's face when he had called him Potter, and he really needed to explain. He was too busy thinking about it to see the broom closet door open slightly, an arm reaching out and grabbing him by the robes, yanking him into the dark. Blaise continued to babble on about the class, not even noticing Draco wasn't there.

"Draco?" He eventually asked, only to finally notice he was alone in the hall.

Draco pulled his wand, ready to defend himself against whoever was across from him in the dark closet.

"Who's there?" He whispered, only for his wand to be knocked out of his hand as he was roughly shoved against the wall, arms held above his head. A body was pressed to his, and he was terrified. He let out a small whimper, as the person leaned in closer to him.

"I'm Potter now, am I?" The voice was harsh, but he knew it. It was the voice that made butterflies jump in his stomach when it said his name, it was the voice whose owner had the lovely green eyes. It was Harry's voice. He let out a sigh of relief, relaxing as he realised he wasn't on any real danger.

"Harry, thank god, I-"

"Malfoy." Harry bit, silencing Draco. The boy was confused as to why Harry was so angry, before it hit him.

"Harry listen, I'm so sorry. But I had to be mean! People can't find out about us. It would ruin your reputation, my father would kill me! We can't act like we are together, people would get suspicious!"Harry though about it for a moment, before letting go of Draco's hands and backing up to the opposite wall. Draco's eyes had adjusted to the dark, and he could faintly see Harry lean his head back against the wall, closing his eyes. He sighed.

"I'm such a git." He mumbled, opening his eyes to look at Draco. "I'm sorry I overreacted. You're right, we can't act as though we are dating. Couldn't we at least act as though we are friends?" He pleaded, looking at Draco for reassurance. "I mean, people know we live together, we can at least be friends. They can't know we are dating, though." as Harry continues to speak, Draco's eyes widened, and Harry looked at him, worried. "Draco?"

"Are we dating?" He asked, almost too quiet for Harry to hear. He thought about it for a minute before answering.

"I don't know. Do you like me?" Harry asked, a bit nervous for Draco's reply. Draco had impied it, but the signs were so mixed up, Harry wasn't sure. He didn't remember Draco ever actually saying it. Maybe he was wron-

Draco was suddenly right next to him, their chests pressed together. Harry sucked in a deep breath, looking into Draco's silver irises.

"Harry, I have wanted you since first year." Harry's heart pounded a Draco's words, speeding up as he spoke. "And now, I can do this." He said, as he tentatively brushed their lips together, before Harry connected their lips fully. They moved in sync, their lips fitting perfectly, like lock and key. Draco's lips were firm, but soft, against Harry's, and he melted. He allowed Draco to push him against the wall. Draco licked his bottom lip, almost begging for entrance, and Harry gladly obliged, opening his mouth as their tongues battled for dominance. Draco won, and used his advantage to explore Harry's mouth, Harry loving every second of it. It was so different from when he had kissed Ginny, it was so much more. He could feel Draco's emotion, all the want and need and happiness that made the kiss amazing. Draco pulled back, almost gasping for breath. Harry almost whimpered from lack of contact, but Draco pressed a quick kiss to his lips again before speaking.

"Harry," he breathed, a nervousness in his eyes. "Will you be my boyfriend?" Harry's gorgeous smile spread across his face, and Draco broke into a grin as well, not a sneer, but a genuine grin, causing Harry to smile even wider.

"I would love that." Draco pecked his lips once more, before saying goodbye and leaving the closet, Harry following minutes later.

Draco walked into dinner smiling, sitting down next to Pansy and happily pouring himself some pumpkin juice. He filled his plate and began eating, a faint smile still on his face, before looking up to see al is friends staring at him with worried expressions.

"What" He scoffed, taking a sip of pumpkin juice. "What have I done?"

"Draco, you never smile."

"It's on like your top ten list of things not to do."

"Mate, have you been hexed?"

"He looks dazed, maybe we should take him to Madame Pomfrey?"

"I don't know, Blaise, maybe he just needs some rest."

"Excuse me. I'm sitting right here. I'm fine, thank you so much for your concern. If you excuse me, I'm going to head back to my dorm." He said angrily. Downing the rest of his pumpkin juice, he got up and stormed from the hall. His friends gazed after him, wondering what the hell was going on.
