Never The Same

Chapter 14- Two Blonds

Harry was still in the Hospital Wing. It had been exactly nine hours, not like he was counting. He was currently sat under a rather large oak tree, recognising it to be the one he climbed in the fourth year. Chuckling to himself he touched the bark with his fingers. If only he had recognised his true feelings then, maybe everything would have been different.

Hearing a small rustle beside him he spun his head, only to find Luna Lovegood, standing softly beside the tree.

"Hello Draco"

"Hi Luna"

He had never really had a proper conversation with Luna. Only quick polite conversations when either of them were waiting for their respective partners.

"I heard about Harry, are you okay? Your aura seems off"

"Does it" He scoffed, now he realised why people called her Loony, it fit. She sat down next to him clearly unaware of his rudeness, he felt bad, that was the old Draco, the snobbish, oblivious to his feelings for Potter, Draco. That wasn't who he wanted to be anymore.

"I'm sorry Luna, I'm not okay"

"Oh its quite alright Draco, I understand, I would feel the same way if it was Gin"

She looked over and smiled at him, for once in his life he felt truly thankful for the person sitting next to him. Her presence was a comfort and he felt himself relax. He smiled back.

"I feel as though it was my fault, the spell exploding I mean, I gave him my wand"

"Has no one explained to you Draco?"

"Explained what to me?"

"Why your spells connected, its quite rare, it can only be achieved through a strong emotional or physical connection, the only other one I've seen is between Harry and" She faltered, Draco knew who.

"With Voldemort" He finished, what did this mean? Strong emotional connection, they hadn't even said I love you to each other, it was far too early- even Draco knew that. However much he might feel it there was no chance he was going to utter those three words.

"Exactly, you two must be really close in order to connect your spells like that"

"I guess we are Luna, oh, by the way, I'm really sorry for-" He didn't exactly know which part he was sorry for, brutally taking her from her home and then keeping her in the dungeons of his house for weeks, bullying her mercilessly for years, hiding her belongings around the castle, spreading his hate and vile speech throughout Hogwarts for all those years. Thankfully though he didn't have to choose, she spoke for him,

"I know Draco, I know" She touched his hand softly and a warmth spread through him, he felt close to tears,

"Thank you" He whispered before she brought her hand to the back of his head stroking it softly, guiding him to lay down in the grass. His head in Luna's lap he contemplated on just how much he had changed, back in the sixth year he never would have dreamed to be in this position and yet here he was, lying contentedly in the Ravenclaws lap, while she hummed a soothing tune and ran her delicate hands through his hair and he felt calm.

She wiped away a stray tear here and there and eventually, with the setting sun and her calming voice he drifted slowly to sleep.

He woke up on something soft and cosy, this certainly wasn't the grass outside, blinking he opened his eyes. He was in the common room, but how on earth did he get there, one minute he was drifting away while Luna was humming in his ear, the next he was curled up on a sofa by the fire, a blanket giving him some more warmth.

Sitting up he stretched, yawning and scratching his head. He spun around, there didn't seem to be anyone here, he cast a Tempus. 1:30 am! No wonder no one was here, his next thought was on his boyfriend. He ran up to their room, he wasn't there meaning he was still in the Hospital Wing.

Speedily travelling through the halls he made his way to the Wing, slowly creeping the door open he peered inside, Madame Pomfrey was most likely asleep. Tiptoeing through the ward he made his way over to Harry's bed that was occupied by a sleeping boy.

Smiling he crawled in behind Harry wrapping his arms around the smaller boy. Grunting Harry turned over so that he was now facing Draco. The moonlight streaming through the window landed on Harry as he turned, his features became a ghostly white and seemed to glow, highlighting his cheekbones, Draco watched as his eyelashes fluttered with every other movement, how his mouth was slightly parted, shallow breaths in and out.

His hair lay like a nest on his head, just the way Draco liked it, a few stray strands finding their way onto his forehead. Tightening his arms he brought Harry closer, breathing in his soothing scent, placing a gentle kiss to his forehead before bringing his head to nuzzle into Harry's shoulder, even Malfoys needs cuddles too.

Perhaps sensing this in his sleep Harrys arms draped over Dracos body, his legs intertwined with Dracos and he pulled him impossibly closer, Draco snuggled further into Harry's warmth and for the second time, that evening fell into a deep sleep.

The sound of clacking heels and sharp tutting awoke Harry. He found himself in the arms of a certain blond and smiled sweetly, watching as Draco's chest rose and fell, admiring his slightly parted lips and pale cheeks. Those lips turned upwards slightly and Harry mentally cursed himself, of course, Draco would be awake.

"Fancy me, Potter?"

"Why not at all, I'm just in your arms admiring you for the fun of it"

"Really admiring eh?"

Harry's cheeks flushed red as he realised what he had just said, enough though Draco was his boyfriend, it was still hard to not get embarrassed by the things he told the blond.

"Well, I wouldn't be glaring at you would I?"

He emphasised glaring as if to provoke Draco into bringing up the menacing stares he used to bring Harry nearly every second.

"Well I wouldn't know if you've had a sudden change of heart," He said while running his fingers through Harry's messy curls, detangling them with his fingers, proving to be quite difficult due to its bird nest state.

"Oh, just kiss me good morning already!"

Draco was shocked at his sudden statement,

"Horny for me are we Potter?"

Harry just pouted, and Dracos heart nearly exploded with the sheer adorableness of it as he brought his head down to meet Harry's lips, but just before they met he uttered,

"Your adorable"

A sharp cough interrupted them minutes later, to which they quickly parted, lips red, cheeks flushed and a sly grin on Dracos face, revealing he had been on top.

They looked to see both Sirius and Remus staring at them, Sirius' face being a mixture of glee and horror at finding his godson in this... position and Remus' one of slight pride yet overwhelming distaste after witnessing a very heated snogging session, to which the only solution to end was to make their presence very clearly known.

"R-Remus, Sirius-s" Harrys voice was shaky, which only made him blush more, not helped by the hands that were slowly snaking their way around his waist and pulling him towards a very warm body,

"What are you doing here?"

"Well pup, we just came to check on you after the whole episode yesterday and well-"

He was cut off by Remus,

"You seem to be in perfect health"

Clearly knowing the direction his boyfriend was going in, not wanting him to continue on whatever inappropriate response he was about to give.

Harry smiled sheepishly looking at his boyfriend then back at the two men.

"I guess I am"
