You and mine

Day 14- Mistletoe @hpdestress

It's like a movie that plays on repeat

I sort of like the ending of your hand in mine

It's about the two of us who strolls in the back

And somedays when we meet in the dark

Under the night of a thousand stars

With your hands clutched in mine

I sort of like the ending of you and me

It's like a song I think I dance on repeat

You always hold my hand and tell me to feel the beat

We dance your troubles away

With twist and turn in every sway

We keep our love alive from under the waters

Breathing in the deep ocean of love that wavers

We cling onto the Swing and we reach for the sky

With your hand clutched in mine

I sort of like the ending of you and me

We meet up after every rain by the cafe you called me in

We'd talk about the Situation we'd be in

I'd hold your hand and you would hold mine

And the others would blush with the innocence of our smiles

We'd paint each other's nails and ruin it the next second

Then we'd call it a style because we're too lazy to do it a second

You'd wash your white shirts with my pinks

Then you'll end up smiling and wear it as you give me a wink

We'd watch another movie on repeat

And talk about the promises we've kept

I sort of like the ending of you and me

We ride the bus and reach for the last

And talk about our future for we know we'd last

Then I wonder from where we began

From under the mistletoe to under the broken tree

With your hands in mine and mine in yours

With the whole wide world watching, I confess and make you mine

And you make me yours

Then I think now

I sort of like the ending of you and me

And a something of you and mine.

Over the kitchen top

Day 15- snowed in/snowstorm @hpdestress

Stuck.

That is what they were as Draco would like to describe their current situation. They were having a perfectly fine evening, had a fun made out session over the couch ignoring their work, took it to bed like the good friends with benefits they were until it got ruined by Harry claim of having a date the next night and he assumed that Draco would have been fine with it, he wasn't, which led to a fight, then another fight and to make matters worse, a snow storm hit right when Draco wanted to leave, so there he was now, Stuck with Harry.

Draco grunted as he collapsed back on the sofa after having paced back and forth after completing his work.

Harry, like he should have, rolled his eyes at the complete unnecessary noises he was making.

" What you got a problem with that too ?" Draco taunted

Harry grumbled something under his breath then left the room.

" Yeah, Leave" Draco bellowed after him then relaxed back with a sigh.

He checked the watch once again after having checked it 15 minutes before and groaned again after realizing that it had only been 15 minutes. He tried reading theories to find solutions and mixtures to cure the effect of the new potion he worked on but 20 minutes later, it still didn't work. It in fact only made matters worse when he realised that there could even be more than 1 side effect to that potion. Bored out of his mind he even tried reading from the defense against the dark arts books Harry had kept on his shelf but as he'd like to put, wasn't as interesting as he thought them to be, in fact he even gave try to a muggle book he found on the shelf but several minutes later he kept it back on the shelf, wasn't interesting either. At this point he was even wondering where Harry had gone to, he was somewhere in the flat obviously but he was silent as a dead bird that it almost ran opposite to Draco's interest to find out what Harry was upto.

It wasn't like Draco didn't like being at Harry's place, it was that, after a fight with Harry, he'd much rather prefer being at his own but the menace of Harry Potter he is, he ran out of floo powder and had been procrastinating ordering some new one and for several reasons that made and didn't made any sense held him back to the place, one of them being ill effects of apparating. And there was also too little things left for Draco to do after he had already reorganized his shelf 3 times, one- chronologically, two- by size, and three- by width; and apparently even after interchanging the covers of cushions, finding lost items from underneath the sofa, reorganizing the TV stand, setting his shoe rack right and aligning the pictures in the hallway by size and order. There was nothing more left to do and even then it had only been 3 hours, still too much to go and the snow storm wasn't stopping either. Sighing Draco cuddled back into himself, hoping some sleep would come along. It didn't.

He groaned with the emphasis of his hand and face planted into the cushion and when he finally raised his head, he immediately startled upon seeing Harry standing by the sofa.

" Give a warning next time" Draco grumbled.

Harry nonchalantly walked away " If you have so much problem why don't you just disapparate away or go back in the cold?"

" Because- Splinching. Its dangerous disapparating in such a cold weather and especially in a snowstorm-"

" Oh is that so- or is it just another one of your excuses" Harry narrowed his eyes at Draco as he turned to face him.

Draco gasped enclosing some distance between them " What is that supposed to mean"

" Oh you know, just another one of your excuses that make up no sense and end up pissing off other people " Harry hinted.

Draco looked seriously offended and more so he didn't even have a reply to this " I don't know what I did or what I didn't but you don't deserve to be mad at me or say anything like that to me"

" oh- i'm sorry " Harry fake apologized then turned around rolling his eyes, not for long since Draco turned him around like a whiplash by his wrist.

" What is your problem?"

" You- You are my problem. I was so happy to finally go on a date with someone who doesn't want to just sleep with me but you had to ruin it with your irresistible need to find nooks in everyone and absolutely useless reasons to fight with me over why I shouldn't go on a date. You're just jealous that I got a date while you've been single for over an year now" Harry snapped.

He hadn't meant to be so harsh but he had ended up being this harsh and he regretted it but he knew he wouldn't take back a word because this haven't happened for the first time. Lately Draco had been ruining most of his plans, running into him on the very few dates he even get and tagging along with Harry almost everywhere which makes it seem like they're a couple which Harry is tired of.

Draco chewed the inside of his cheeks, looking hurt then stepped away " I'll leave as soon as the snowstorm comes even a little bit at rest and if it doesn't by the rest of the night i'll walk home" and he went back to the sofa and picked up his pages and started re-reading everything. Harry almost felt pity for yelling at him that way, he shouldn't have but he wanted Draco to stop ruining his plans with everyone he tries to go out with.

However when later hours stroke and the snow storm still didn't come to a rest and Draco having already been able to re-read his potion work and determining what was wrong with his potion, he felt hungry, very that is and went into the kitchen in hopes to find something to eat. And he found, Harry.

Draco sighed and was about to return back but didn't when his stomach grumbled loudly, " I need something to eat"

Harry moved out of the way, a bowl of noodles resting on the counter which with much reluctance he went and picked it up to eat. They ate in silence for as long as they knew until Harry was keeping his bowl in the sink to wash later and ready to leave when Draco interjected keeping his own bowl on the counter.

" Wait"

Harry hummed turning around to face Draco.

" I- I am really sorry- for filling your head and trying to ruin your plans, I- just- I don't want you to- " He paused briefly and looked at Harry's face then retracted his words " Actually never mind- I'm just sorry, I won't do that again"

" You don't want me to what ?" Harry asked blocking Draco's way out of the kitchen.

" Nothing, It doesn't matter " Draco mumbled trying to move Harry's hand away to go to the other side but he didn't budge, even a little bit.

" You don't want me to what ?" Harry asked. Draco shook his head still trying to move Harry's hand but both being stubborn, Harry kept on asking the same question while Draco constantly refusing to answer it until Harry had enough and cornered Draco between the counter and him and forced him to speak.

" You don't want me to what Draco ?" He asked, this time his voice more denser than it had been.

Draco gulped shaking his head but it was of no use. His heart was racing rapidly in his chest and no voice even formulated in his throat and all he could focus was the emerald eyes that were gazing right into his own grey ones.

" Tell me Draco " Harry asked again.

Draco wanted to deny but not even his head shook anymore. Being cornered by Harry was his teenage dream come true but he never thought what after that situation and apparently right now with the sexiest man he knew standing in front of him, his hands resting on the either side of his body and his face entirely too close to Draco's own that he couldn't think of anything, at least the ideas which didn't involve wrapping his legs around Harry's waist and running his hand in his hair and one hand running down his torso-

" Draco ?"

Draco gulped then tried to look behind him then his eyes and failing to keep his attention away from Harry's eyes, he closed them and let his heart pour out the truth, there wasn't anything left to say.

" I sort of- lately- have- been having- well some- feelings- romantic feelings for you and I don't want toh to go on that date or any " and he finally opened his eyes to an expressionless face and he waited for Harry to reply something, anything but he didn't, he hadn't spoken anything in several minutes and Draco was losing his sanity.

" Never mind- forget I said anyt-nmph" And with that he felt a strong hold on the side of his waist and soft lips pressed over his own. They normally didn't kiss, despite being Friends with benefits but kissing Harry was like day lights being strung out of his own body or the fireworks bursting inside his own and the warmth that spread over his body as Harry's hand wrapped around his waist and pulled him closer than they had been leaving a nice tingling and totally arousing feeling to bloom inside his own self. He enjoyed it, every second of it.

And it came to a halt when Harry separated away to look into his eyes " Took you long enough "

" What ? You knew ?" Draco was surprised.

" Do you really think you were discreet about any of it? Please even Teddy hides things better and he's only 6" Harry pointed.

Draco hummed, agreeing, nodding " So what now ?"

" So what ? Nothing. I take you out tomorrow, spoil you, then come back here and watch a movie with you then maybe, just maybe ask you to spend christmas with me ?"

Draco smiled then nodded " I like the sound of it"

Harry smiled back and kissed his cheeks " Allow me to be a gentleman"

Draco giggled, dropping his head over Harry's shoulder " Its good to finally be able to kiss you"

" Yeah- I really had to constraint myself from it" Harry mumbled and Draco chuckled finding it humorous.

" Shall we do it again if its good ?" Harry asked smirking.

Draco narrowed his eyes at Harry then laughed it off and kissed him and this time, he took it far to make Harry an ungentle man.

Daddy's boy

Day 16- candy cane @hpdestress

" so we only have a couple more boxes to give away right ?" Harry asked as he pushed his spectacle closer to the bridge of his nose scanning the sheet of gifts to give away he had prepared to be more organised.

Draco mumbled, then nodded, itching his own nose due to the new specks he had to wear to read " I don't think we've given yet to the Harrison's, the Garet's and I still need to hand a box to the Parkinson's "

" You told me you had given to Parkinson's days ago " Harry complained looking over at Draco, sitting on the opposite side of the table.

" I never told you anything about that- okay- yeah I did but only because you get into that scolding mode that I don't take anything seriously, with your ' Draco, you're becoming more careless with age and you should be more careful. Where's your wit to always be punctual-' and all that, very boring speech" Draco sighed resting his chin against the cold counter then immediately taking it off after a flinch.

Harry rolled his eyes getting up from the chair " If I scold you then that means you are doing something wrong-"

" Don't go Monica on me "Draco dragged

" Well you know she is right and I knew you'd had something like this so I made an extra box of candy canes " Harry said as he opened the top shelf and took out a brown box labelled 'do not open without Harry's permission'.

" Real creative babe " Draco teased.

Harry mocked him with gibberish and sat down on the chair again and opened up the box whilst speaking " I made these extra because you somehow have been careless lately and I knew we'd need it so I kept it safe and- Where's all the candy canes from the box ?" He shook the box In his hand vigorously but nothing happened, the box remained Empty as he had taken it out.

" yeah- so you were saying" Draco pursed his lips trying to control his laughter.

" I swear I did- I made an extra batch and now it's just gone " Harry complained seriously.

" Yeah I'm going to say a racoon came in through the window who was tired and hungry and saw your candy canes and ate them and left the box there. He's really upset about doing that though" He was trying really hard to contol his laughter but getting a deadly look from Harry he broke into laughter.

" This isn't funny- somebody ate them " Harry said. A strange fuzzy idea came in his head but he hardly wanted to believe it. He really didn't like thinking it could have happened but when his eyes fell upon the corner of the room to a 4 year old Scorpius hiding behind the wall, he knew he was right.

" Scorp- Did you eat the candy canes ?" Harry asked in his Fatherly voice.

Scorpius ran towards Draco who picked him up in his arms and settled him in his lap and pushing his hair behind his forehead.

" They were tasty- and Daddy said I could eat them " Scorpius confessed.

Harry gasped at Draco " How could you let him ?"

Draco started laughing again " I'm sorry Scorp but I have to tell him the truth or you and I are both going to be dead in the bed-"

" But we agreed Daddy " Scorpius huffed.

" I'm sorry darling-" he kissed on top of Scorpius's head and confessed honestly " we just hid them. It's in that red box over the refrigerator "

" Why would you do it ?" Harry sighed getting up and picking up the box and double checking it's content.

" Because Daddy said it's fun to see your eyes go out of your socket and you lips go like that of a fish- like this" Scorpius pointed at his lips open in an 'O' shape that a fish makes.

Draco laughed louder along with Scorpius and Harry wanted to scold Draco for saying things like that to their 4 year old son but instead he himself started laughing.

" You really are your Daddy's boy " Harry smiled afterwards and ruffled Scorpius's hair before kissing his forehead.

" That I am " Scorpius agreed and Harry laughed again.

After a million dreams

Day 20- Christmas break at Hogwarts @hpdestress

“ Did you do it ?” Draco nervously asked as soon as Harry came to the meeting point.  

Harry held a disappointed face then nodded “ I did “ He exclaimed 

Draco let out the breath he was holding onto and immediately embraced Harry in a hug “ I was afraid they wouldn’t let you ” 

Harry separated from the hug and along with Draco sat down over the cushioned couch turning to face him " Well at first Ron didn't want to- I actually think he doesn't want to even still but Hermione was a great help. She said she understood that I need a little space and that it's nice that I want to take a break from certain things and be myself to figure stuff out- whatever that meant but she said she'll handle everything and she was super supportive of it "

Draco looked at Harry for a moment, a sense of worry invading his headspace for a while.

" What is it ?" Harry interjected his thoughts.

" It's nothing- I- just- sometimes you know get the feeling that Hermione knows about us otherwise why would she be this understanding about you staying alone at school for Christmas break? "

Harry thought for a moment watching keenly at the red cushion in deep thought then nodded understandably " If that is true then we need to find a way to ensure that whatever she knows isn't right"

" How are we going to do that ?" Draco asked, confused.

__________________________________

" Well are you sure you don't want to come with us to stay for Christmas, I mean it does get lonely around here during holidays you know ?" Pansy asked with her voice as sweet as honey ( too much honey ) and her hand going up and down Draco's arm.

Draco tried to retract his hand but he didn't want to hint it off so he kept cool " I'll be fine, don't worry Pansy. I just wished my parents would finally match eyes with me you know. To not talk is one thing but to uninvite me- that's bizzare. But I'll just stay here and finish up on my work or something "

Pansy modded in sympathy " I really am sorry about that Draco. Are you sure you'll be okay ?"

" I'll be fine- You should go now, the train leaves soon " Draco told her and immediately helped her bag up on the train.

" Well- owl me if you need anything or just want to talk to someone, alright ?" Pansy reassured and tried to kiss Draco over his cheeks but he skillfully dodged it off.

Draco nodded " I will "

Draco waved to his friends one last time before he dragged back his empty suitcases as a part of the enactment Harry and Draco had worked on to convince their friend's that they weren't together. It was a brilliant plan, at least how Harry likes to admit, this way not only Draco got out of being questioned several things but also were able to convince Hermione that Draco hadn't planned on staying for Christmas because of Harry but his plans had changed the last moment.

He took the secret alley where rarely anyone ever was and the place where Harry and Draco were to meet up after the train departed.

Draco walked blindly into something invisible and immediately realised it was Harry. Harry revealed his face from under the cloak and wrapped Draco under the cloak too.

" Did it work ?" Harry whispered

" Hopefully " Draco whispered back.

Out of curiosity Harry asked " Does Pansy know you're gay ?"

" No, not yet, why ?" Draco frowned

" stay away from her then- she's definitely trying to hit on you " Harry rolled his eyes.

Draco let out a soft laugh then kissed Harry over his crimson cheeks " It doesn't matter, I've already been hit on, and very much taken"

Harry raised his eyebrows " That you are"

" Yes I am mister" Draco smiled. Harry looked up at him for a few more moments before Draco kissed him over the lips and they departed for their Christmas at Hogwarts.

As planned Harry and Draco spent almost everytime of everyday in the breaks with each other secretly in the room of requirements. They spent their Hours Baking, learning how to knit, making candies, eating a lot of cakes, decorating the place with Christmas things and decorating their own Christmas tree together, they did everything together and sometimes it took them an entire day but they were proud of themselves and each other by the end of the day. Having the opportunity to be able to spend their Christmas finally with the ones they loved was the best thing that had ever happened to either one of them and they knew they wouldn't change it for the world, even if it all gets messed up in the end. They wanted to be with each other, needed each other more than anything else and it scared them a little bit but it made them so happy. When they looked at each other with awe, they knew they waited for this moment for so long in their life that now it felt so unreal but it was so very real, it was the most real thing I'm existence, even more than the clouds in the sky or the sun and the moon. What they felt for each other was beyond either of them could comprehend but then love isn't a comprehension, is it? It's the most insane thing ever and they were just having the taste of it all.

When finally the Christmas morning arrived and Harry woke up next to a very naked Draco by his side, his breath halted in his throat. He was mesmerized by his beauty and the moment itself. It overwhelmed him so much that he couldn't avoid the tears that sprinkled in his eyes. Knowing that he woke upto the man the loved the most on Christmas morning was nothing more than a miracle and Harry assumed he might just be the luckiest man alive.

When the night finally came around and they were sat under the lights of golden near their Christmas tree, Harry Turned to Draco and smiled.

" Can I give you my present now ?" He asked

Draco startled for a moment but then nodded with a sweet smile. Harry pulled from behind him a small box, not more than a size of a shoe box and gave it to Draco.

" Before you open this, I want you to know something "

Draco nodded, keeping the box aside to give Harry his Full attention.

Harry cleared his throat and began " I have spent 18 Christmases in my life and this one is the best so far and its all because of you " Harry smiled and took Draco's hand in his own and continued " When I woke up this morning and I saw you lying next to me, it hit me then that I had spent so much time of my life hating you when all this time I could've been able to hold you closer much before and not in secret. It somewhat breaks me to know how much time we have wasted and what I'm about to say is going to sound absolutely insane but Draco, you make me the happiest I've ever been and I don't know what is it about you that just puts a smile on my face everytime I see you but there is something and I can wait an entire life time to know that. I know it sounds absurd and fast and strange but I love you, like I've never loved anyone else and I want to love for the rest of the time"

Draco's eyes welled up with tears with the words he heard and before Harry could've inferred what was happening Draco had jumped into his arms and embraced him tightly in his arms. Moments passed with his hand still around Harry, not believing for even a single second what harry had just said.

Draco broke apart from the hug and cupped Harry's face softly after having created some distance and said " I can't tell you how much I love you and how much I want to scream at the top of my lungs and tell the whole world but you wanting to love me for the rest of your life is the greatest honour I'll ever have,even more than being loved by you. You really are one of a kind Harry and I'm too selfish to let you go "

Harry couldn't help but smile fondly at Draco. He placed his hand over Draco's hands over his face and kissed the inside of his palm then turned his hand the other way around and kissed them too and then finally leaned forward and pressed his forehead against Draco's " It's my honour to Love you Draco Malfoy"

Draco chuckled and finally kissed Harry over the lips with ecstasy. This was the kind of Christmas Draco always wished for, dreamt of even but never in his million dream he had ever imagined that it might come true but right now, kissing Harry, holding his hand, being away in the secret behind so many walls and a moment just of their own, this was even more perfect than a dream. It was heaven itself.

" Do you think Harry's having a nice Christmas ?" Hermione asked as she laid next to Ron and watched the stars in the late Christmas night.

" I'm telling you he's having the time of his life " Ron replied.

" Why do you think he keeps it a secret from us? Doesn't he trust us or something ?" She asked concerned.

Ron hummed, then said " I think he likes having one thing all to his own self. All his life, he's always shared things,even love but he's met the one thing in his life right now that he doesn't have to share and I think it makes him Happy. It's evident Draco makes him the happiest he's ever been even if he's a douchebag "

Hermione Chuckled " Since when did you get so wise ?"

" Always a tone of surprise " Ron laughed.

" He's got better at this game you know " Blaise said as they moved their bags into the carriage after having waved Draco goodbye.

" I wanna see how many stupid stories he gonna pull before he comes clean " Pansy told him.

" Think Potter have some effect on his intelligence, don't you think ?"

" you mean he's dumber now ?"

Blaise nodded.

" Lord save him"

Day 21- sleigh ride @hpdestress

" Can I take the blindfold off now ?" Harry asked stumbling over his own feet only to be caught in time by Draco.

" We're not there yet "Draco replied

" But I'm falling all over " Harry whined

" and I'm here to catch your fall " Draco replied back.

" Yeah not really. When I told you I've fallen in love with you, you told me I've fallen with you too. Can't say I can trust you with a fall" Harey shrugged casually.

Draco chuckled next to him " Well then if you're gonna, we're gonna fall together. That's how it works right. You take the first fall and I take it with you"

" I'm telling you Draco, sometimes these falls are scary. What if one day I'm falling off a cliff, you can't say I'm falling after you, right ?" Harry asked.

" Oh no of couse not Darling, I'd be the one pushing you off the cliff, don't worry " Draco smirked next to him even though he knew Harry couldn't see him.

" You know sometimes your words hurt " Harry pouted.

" That's why I say them. Now just trust me with this. I've held your hand " Draco said holding onto Harry's hands tighter.

Harry mumbled something but Draco chose to ignore, besides it was barely audible in the strong winter winds blowing right in his face.

" Are we there yet ?" Harry asked again.

Draco shook his head then realised Harry couldn't see him " A little bit more "

" How far is this place even ?" Harry complaint again.

" If you do a little less complaining, we might reach sooner " Draco rolled his eyes. Don't get him wrong, he loves his boyfriend beyond anything and he would anything for him but sometimes Harry just annoyed him, irritated him with useless questions that he doubted his entire existence then, like the time Harry kept on asking at 3 am why do we sleep at 3 and not in the morning and why do they have specific meals for breakfast, what if he wanted rice for breakfast and toast for dinner. It drove Draco insane, more than he likes to exaggerates.

" And I thought you loved me " Harry mumbled.

Draco rolled his eyes once again " Just because I tell you to stop complaining doesn't mean I love you any less "

" seems otherwise to me" Harry shrugged and this time he stumbled over something again that he might've fallen over the ground if it wasn't for Draco holding him tightly.

" Told you I'd save you" Draco told him afterwards.

" yeah after I was already sca-"

" we're here " Draco announced cutting Harry off mid sentence and took off his blindfold and putting it in his pocket.

" A sleigh ride " Harry exclaimed.

" I am an attentive boyfriend " Draco smirked.

" I told you this on like our 2nd date, how did you remember ?" Harry grinned at Draco.

" I remember everything babe, everything" Draco smiled fondly at Harry who looked at him in awe before he leaned forward and kissed Draco's nose softly.

" Now you're like Rudolph the Red nose reindeer " He sang.

Draco laughed behind him, following him into the sleigh and sitting down over the uncomfortable seat.

" I feel like Elsa " Harry grinned.

" Elsa who ?" He asked

" Elsa from Frozen. You know in the second movie when they are going to that forest, the enchanted forest. We watched that movie together Draco, like 2 weeks ago " Harry reminded him.

"Oh- the girl who have to wear gloves all the time or she'll turn everyone into ice " Draco replied

" stop Making her sound like a villain-"

" I'm not making her sound like a villain. She did freeze her sister in the first movie-"

" but she also bought her back-"

" but she also struck her when they were just kids-"

" By accident-"

" Not to interrupt your little argument over the girl who froze her sister but do you want a ride or not ?" The man in the front seat holding the leash of the horses in his hands asked.

Draco immediately nodded and they took off.

Harry remained shut after that for a long time but an excited smile pulled over his face as he kept staring at his surrounding and the feeling of being in a sleigh. Draco perhaps might never understand why it was so fascinating for Harry to be on a sleigh but if this is how little it takes for Draco to bring that smile over his face, he'd do them everyday until he dies. When he says he loved Harry with his entire soul and mind, he really does. He loves every little thing about him and sometimes he might drive him crazy or insane but he still loved Harry till the sun rises and the moon sets. What Harry bought in Draco was indescribable but knowing that Harry is the only man he want to ride every sleigh in the world with fills the empty little hole his heart have and that's because Harry is his cure, his medicine and his remedy to everything. One look from Harry and he'd forget a thousand reasons why he shouldn't exist but Harry chose to love a man as such and he would never ever be worthy enough of his love but he knows he'll spend the rest of his life trying to be worthy enough for him.

Harry besides him catches Draco smiling at him and he smiles back. He turns his head to the front and lean his head over his shoulder and takes Draco's hands in his own to intertwine their fingers together.

" It's better with you, a Hundred times better in your arms " Harry whispered, smiling.

Draco wishes he could've said something, anything but all that came out of his lips was " I love you " before he leaned down and kissed Harry over the lips. It's always better with him too, always and a thousand times better.

Family trip gone wrong

Day 22- sledging @hpdestress

Harry huffed in frustration as he tried to find the safe gears to put on Albus and Scorpius but apparently they were nowhere to be found and soon they would become impatient to the point that it's unbearable. Ever since Harry and Draco came on the trip with their kids, nothing had gone right, not even a single thing, it was like living the movie of the worst day ever on repeat. This trip was supposed to be a fun, bonding time for the family but apparently it was everything but that. To Begin with, on their way over their car broke down and the mechanics seemed to have been very far away and Albus and Scorpius decided that it would've just been marvelous to throw a fit, the next was the room they got, it was supposed to be 2 large rooms and instead of it being as large as it was in the pictures, it was only large enough to have bunk beds in it; next was the dinner night they planned on, it was supposed to be a fancy dinner at a fancy place but a blizzard had to come right then when they were walking to it and due to the damning Blizzard, their night got cancelled and the list goes on. Harry would rewind every single one of them but that wasn't an available option.

He eventually gave up finding the gears and practiced how to break his kids heart by telling them that they can't go sledging but when Harry reached where the kids were supposed to be, they weren't there.

" Draco, where are the kids ?" Harry sounded exhausted and yet stressed at the same time.

Draco's head immediately whipped around with a handful of things to eat " I swear they were right here, just now. I swear, I promise "

Harry sighed closing his eyes momentarily then began again " It's fine, we'll find them together. You take that way, I'll take this way " He said pointing towards different directions but as soon as they were going in different directions, they heard screaming which sounded awfully familiar until they both turned around and their kids jumped up in the air in the sledge and their heart's fell right out of their chest.

" Albus-Scorp" they simultaneously screamed and immediately ran after them with hooked ropes to get them to stop but sliding on ice wasn't a piece of cake. Draco hit his head on a massive ball of ice and some kid nearby thought it was funny to hit him right in the stomach. Harry gave him an apologetic look then continued running after them. Hurdles after hurdles like Albus throwing snowballs to hit Harry, the slippery ice that made him fall over, their kids basically jumping up in the air without any protection when a slight cliff came around, his throat growing dry from all the yelling, maintaining a safe look on Draco who had now joined him and last but not the least the trees that somehow had started appearing in the middle. Harry wanted to cry at this moment and just when he thought it couldn't get any worse, he fell over his bum and slid over the ice and due to the slope it became incredibly hard to get back up. His heart hammered like a wrecking ball inside his chest and now he was scared to death for two reasons, himself and the kids.

" Albus-Scorp- Please stop the sledge " Harry shouted.

" We can't " Albus yelled back laughing and that was all it took Harry to turn at an edge to he started slipping on ice even after. When he heard another scream he turned his face to his side and saw Draco sliding down over a piece of wood, recklessly.

" Harry, save me " Draco screamed and he slipped more ahead of Harry.

Harry groaned loudly and screamed back "I'm coming"

Seconds turned into minutes and the screaming grew louder while the people all around watched them finding it absolutely hilarious how the kids drove the sledge while their father ran after them like absolute maniacs. It was finally when the steep gradually lessened and it started rising upwards that the kids sledge slowed down, not the same with Harry and Draco and they were still screaming until they both collided into each other and then into the kids.

" Ouch Dad's " Scorpius groaned.

Harry breathed heavily, holding onto the kids " that was very very dangerous "

Draco remained in shock for a while, catching his breath and holding onto the family together until later his eyes noticed the high cliff and he started laughing looking at their kids. His Laugh eventually grew louder and contagious to the point that everyone was laughing so hard that they rolled back to the ground.

" I hate to say it but this was the most fun thing that happened over the entire trip " Harry told after the laughter controlled down.

Draco turned to Harry and nodded smiling.

" Then Can we do it again ?-"

" No " they simultaneously replied.

Day 25- Presents @hpdestress

It was Christmas morning when they both had woken up before time and were sitting next to each other, cuddled into the blanket with their legs intertwined with another’s. It was a perfect lazy day,to be just inside the house in warmth and drink hit cocoa and be peppered with kisses but the plans of the day had already been set. 

“ Can we just not skip the thing's and be here all day ?” Draco groaned in Harry’s neck while he was kissing him softly there. 

Harry tightened his arms around Draco and replied “ I wish we could but we have lunch at your parents to attend then the gala with the weasley’s. We’re packed for the day”

“Please can we just stay here ?”Draco moaned. 

Harry sighed, creating a little distance between both of them, cold immediately invading the space between them “ Draco baby- please. We have to get up eventually” 

Draco pulled Harry back towards him and this time firmly held his torso so he won’t try to it again “ Stop being such an obedient brat and stay here with me for a while” 

Harry chuckled and wrapped his arms back around with Draco’s kissing his eyes softly “ and then you say you’re not a sap” 

“ Shut up” Draco groaned. 

“ This reminds me, I bought you a gift” Harry said. 

“ Harry-” 

“ I know you told me no gifts but I saw it through the window and I couldn’t stop myself from buying it for you” Harry cuts him off sweetly. 

“ But rules were rules- I told you, I don’t need anything” Draco affirmatively replied. 

“ Since when have I ever followed rules- but its not about you not needing it, I wanted to buy it for you “ Harry sweetly told him. 

Draco sighed and sat up a little straighter “ Show me then”

Harry smiled and similarly sat straighter and picked out two small boxes from the drawer. 

“ They’re small. I better hope they’re inexpensive. I don’t want you spending money on me so much” Draco averred. 

Harry kept smiling as he handed him the two boxes and waited for him to open them patiently. Draco however with much hesitation started opening the boxes. When he unwrapped one of them, it revealed a small black box and the other one opened up to another black box. 

“ I see you’ve managed to get code black” Draco frowned impressively. 

“ Just open them already” Harry whined impatiently now because Draco was seemingly taking up too much time. 

Draco rolled his eyes and opened the larger black box which revealed an average beaded pearl necklace and the other one was the watch Draco had been dying to purchase since months. 

“ You- Pearl ? and the watch?” Draco said in choked gasp picking both of them up in his hands. 

“ I know you’ve been wanting this watch for months so I bought you this and the pearl necklace, I thought it would look really nice on you “ Harry shrugged. 

Draco smiled at Harry and hugged him after having carefully put the gifts aside. 

“ You didn’t have to buy me these. They must’ve cost you a fortune” he said after separating. 

Harry shrugged “ My love isn’t based off on how much I spent on you. It hardly matters to me “ 

Draco smiled fondly at Harry “ But you buy me a lot of gifts already Harry “ 

“ Because I like to spoil you- now please just stop being a posh brat and let me help you with the necklace” 

Draco chuckled and handed Harry the necklace and turned around so Harry could put it around his neck and as he did, he loved it even more around his neck. The way the pearl settled around his long neck made Harry love it even more than when he first saw it through the window and even though Draco wasn’t very happy about Harry buying him a gift, he loved the necklace. It certainly made him feel confident and lovely with Harry peppering kisses along the back of his neck. 

“ It looks beautiful on you” Harry whispered. 

Draco visibly shivered with his eyes closed and biting his lip because of the sensation of Harry’s cool breath against his neck. He hummed whilst Harry continued kissing down along the length of his neck. 

“ I love it” Draco murmured. 

“ Really?” Harry asked momentarily moving away to get a good look of Draco’s face. 

Draco turned to him with a smile with his hand lingering over the necklace “ I do but I just don’t want you spending more money on me” 

“I won’t “ Harry replied pressing his lips together. 

“ Promise ?” 

“ I promise” 

He obviously broke that promise in the future and with more incidences that happened in future, Draco gave up asking Harry to not buy him presents because Harry’s love wasn’t fitted into tiny little or big black boxes, It was in the expressions he held when Draco opened the boxes and the smile he’d lit up with when Draco would say he loved his gift. His love was bigger than any black box in the world. He could even buy him the most expensive building in the world and yet his love would be bigger than that.

Day 27- left overs. @hpdestress

" Draco" Harry shouts from the bedroom.

" Dray"

" Dracooo " Harry sings again.

Groaning, Draco peeks his head through the bedroom door " what do you need ?"

" What's for lunch ?" Harry asked, smiling innocently, bundled up in the blankets.

" if you want food, be a dear and get out of those blankets and get your food " Draco rolled his eyes and left the room.

Harry mumbled to himself, mostly bitching about Draco, pulled up his socks, wore his ear muffs, wrapping his blanket around himself, he got out of bed.

" My- Jesus- don't you think you're wearing a little less. Perhaps another blanket would've worked better " Draco teased.

" Joke all you want. Cold blooded people like you will never know what it's to feel warm" Harry sarcastically replied.

" I'm not cold blooded. You're just too sensitive " Draco narrowed his eyes at Harry.

" oh you're one to talk about sensitive. You turn all red the moment you step out of the house " Harry argued.

" That's how a normal human gets who isn't covered in 7 layers of clothes " Draco told him with an obvious face.

" 5 not 7 " Harry corrected.

Draco rolled his eyes " Why don't you just do what you came to "

" We had Sausage left overs from a day before yesterdays' dinner didn't we ?" Harry asked looking in the refrigerator.

" You ate them as midnight snack" Draco told Harry, now busying himself with cutting fruits for his own.

" what about my burger take out ?" Harry asked, still looking inside the fridge.

" You were being very generous to Ron when you were tipsy and let him eat it " Draco replied again without looking at Harry.

" What about the sandwich I made after dinner yesterday ?" Harry asked again.

" Ate it again after you came from a run and I vividly remember telling you that you shouldn't eat that sandwich just after you had came from a run and you told me bug off and let you bath in the divine food " Draco looked up in the air, momentarily stopping cutting his fruits.

Harry looked out of the refrigerator to Draco" it was divine"

Draco turned to Harry rolling his eyes " you're not going to find Aladdin's lamp in there "

" How great would it be though to actually have the genies lamp " Harry dreamt on.

" there's a reason why it's a fairy tale " Draco reminded him.

Harry mimicked him nastily " You're such a spoil sport "

" I'm not a spoil sport, I'm just practical " Draco replied getting back to cutting his fruits.

" what are you having for lunch ?" Harry asked him.

" fruit salad " He replied dismissively.

" Can we share ?-"

" No " Draco instantly denied.

" You know you love me " Harry grinned taking the slice of apple from Draco's plate.

Draco deadpanned looked at Harry " Sometimes I want to deliver you to Hell"

" I'm not going anywhere without you " Harry passed him a flying kiss taking another slice of fruit from his plate. He raised the volume of the television, leaning his shoulder on Draco's.

Draco shook his head " I can't wait to kick you out of my life "

" I love you "

" And I hate you " Draco mumbled then himself leaned closer to Harry.

He knew he still loved that stupid idiot so much.

Day 28- fuzzy socks  @hpdestress

“And so, he distributes all his wealth amongst the poor and the needy subjects. That’s how King Midas came to know of true happiness-” Draco shut off the book softly, smiling at their 3 year old daughter Lily. 

“Daddy- can we do magic like that ?” Lily asked 

Harry chuckled beside her “No dear, Magic like that doesn’t happen and even if it did, you’d never know true happiness would you?”

Lily hummed and shook her head “He was a mean king” 

“Really? I think he was just a man who just never knew the value of love and happiness” Draco smiled down at her. He carefully ran his fingers through her hair, combing it all together. 

“But didn’t his daddies read to him like you do?” Lily asked curiously. 

Harry almost burst into a laughter right there and then “I think not darling, if his parents did, he would’ve never been the same man, would he? And my sweet Lily, not everyone have daddies like you”

“Daddies are better. I was playing with Rain yesterday and her mother scolded her for breaking the plastic bucket. She did it by mistake you know” She told them. 

Draco leaned down to lay next to her and held her small hands in his hand “You know, sometimes parents have to scold their little darlings because if they don’t then they turn into a spoiled baby like you” he immediately tickled her side, forcing her to snort out laughing. 

Harry laughed looking at them, this was their typical daddy daughter moment and he never tried to come in between them because these moments were just their own, some memories that Harry might never be able to make Lily’s favourite, but only Draco could. 

“Daddy- please- stop” She cried. 

Draco retreated his hands and turned sideways so he was leaning over Lily with the support of his elbow. 

“Good night, my little munchkin” Draco knelt forward and kissed her forehead. 

“Good night, Daddy” she smiled at Draco. 

Harry got up from her side and he too leaned down and placed a soft kiss over her cheeks “Now you cover yourself with your small blanket and keep your favourite fuzzy socks on and sleep well” He smiled. 

“Good night Dad” she smiled back at him. 

Harry smiled at her himself and turned off her bedside lamp “Love you sweetpea” he whispered. 

Draco and Harry were leaving the room together when she turned to her side, turned on the lamp “I forgot to say, Love you Daddies and sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite” 

Draco chuckled next to Harry and gave her a flying kiss. Smiling they both left the room and remained in the hallway for a few moments smiling at each other. 

“How is she even real?” Draco asked, tearing up a little bit. 

Harry immediately softened up and wrapped his arms around Draco the same instant “Oh Dear- she is very much real Draco and she is our perfect little daughter” 

“How did she turn out to be so perfect when we were so damned?” Draco asked, speaking against his neck. 

“Just because we were doomed, doesn’t mean we’d ever let out daughter be doomed. I’d say we’re doing a pretty good job at parenting” Harry smiled, looking down at Draco even though he couldn’t see him. 

Draco chuckled into his neck “She’s like our walking talking best christmas present” 

“Hate to say it but I agree” Harry laughed softly and soon they went back into their room and slept until Lily climbed into their bed in the middle of the night and was embraced by both of them in sweetest of the hug. Yeah, she had the best Dads in the world.

"Pottah"

The laughs echoed in the room with the half drunk notions and the half sung song being sung somewhere in the background, the chatters filling the room as it should’ve and the cluttering on the cutlery on the table very clear. Someone might’ve tripped over the bean bag face down and the room filled with more laughter. Some might say it was a typical Saturday but it wasn’t just any saturday, it was special because they were here with everyone, they were here after the party had dissolved to celebrate the very long awaited engagement of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. 

“Remember how it used to be- the time-” But Ron was laughing more than he was able to even speak, he was almost choking on laughter until Blaise patted his back. 

“Darling, We also want to know the reason for your deafening laugh”Blaise teased. Ron immediately stopped laughing and gave him a glare. 

“I’m not lying, everyone wants to know” Blaise smiled. 

“Alright- remember in first year Draco used to find reasons to just follow Harry, like every single time, even in the 4th year- the amount of times on the quidditch field he just followed Harry instead of the snitch” 

Everyone laughed and started sharing more anecdotes from the long forgotten days including the climbing over the tree for attention, following Harry into the forbidden forest in the 1st year, any reason to just push Harry away so he could just get his attention, calling him across 3 tables away, all the things they had forgotten until their stomachs hurt. 

“Oh I got one- remember when Draco used to call Harry ‘Pottah’- gosh those times” Blaise laughed 

“I did not” Draco defensively whined 

“Babe, you so did” Harry laughed wiping the tear from the corner of his eyes. 

Draco rolled his eyes because even he knew everyone was right. 

“Shut up, Pottah” 

I'm sorry for an uncalled break I took off writing and while I love writing so much, I felt like I needed to reconnect to myself again but I'm back at it and I'm so glad to be doing this again. For the mean time I'd be finishing off the leftover writings, remaining requests I put on block for a month and the ANGST prompts I promised to write couple months back and the current fiction I'm working on. Much love..x

The Butterfly Effect 

- Part 6 

“I know who you need“ 

“Its Pansy, isn’t it ?” 

“Pansy Parkinson ?”

Harry’s already short breath stuck in his throat, a knot forming inside and his head doing the well aware spin it did when things got suddenly strange. 

“Ho-How did you -?” Harry couldn’t form the entire sentence even if he wanted to. It was like his voice was lost somewhere deep in his throat and his brain went into short circuit, like all of his fuses gave out and what remained behind was just burnt up left overs. 

“I knew it from the day you first came here with the business card and more convinced when you asked me about magic“ Boyce replied. 

Harry breathed heavily, shaking his head. He took hold of the nearest chair and sat down “Why didn’t you tell me before ?” 

“Why are you looking for her ?” He questioned back. 

Harry stared at him for long moment debating with his inner conscience whether it was wise to tell him or not. He knew if Boyce had to give out information about Harry, he would’ve but he hadn’t and what struck more to him was-” why tell me now?” 

Boyce dragged the chair in front of him and sat down huffing “I can see it in your face how much you want to know about her. You come here almost every day and take almost the same cakes. Only someone who either loves cakes would do it everyday or someone who’s desperate would do it, in your case, the later. What I don’t get is why didn’t you just ask straight away and more importantly why me to reach to her, aren’t you wizards supposed to know everything about each other ?” 

“Us Wizards-?” 

“I’m non magical. An exception in the family or sort of a disgrace as I should put it.” Boyce interrupted. 

“Oh”

“Anyways, I can’t tell you more because frankly I don’t trust you.” Boyce shrugged and leaned back in his chair. 

“But you can tell me where can I find her, right ?” Harry asked.

“I don’t get it, why do you need to know?” Boyce asked curiously. 

Harry sighed “Its confidential-” 

“Then where she is also confidential.” Boyce interjected snappily. 

Harry threw his head back a little groaning in frustration “Why would you tell me about her if you couldn’t help me ?” 

But he didn’t answer because perhaps he didn’t have any. Maybe he himself didn’t know why did he tell Harry about Pansy but refused to tell him where she lived.  

“Boyce- I need you to understand-,”

“Understand what ? How can I trust you that you won’t try to run after her to do all the bad things that your people have done to her? You didn’t see her Harry, the strongest person I knew crumble down like she was just some broken glass. How can I trust you that you won’t do the same to her?” Boyce’s voice sounded denser as if he had to push himself to utter even a single sound right now. Harry knew at once what he meant and that he cared for her deeply. He might’ve cared for her so much that It hurts him to even think of it. 

Harry leaned forward over the table “I am not one of them. Those people out there who tormented her and forced her to be one of them no longer exists and the ones who put her in that deep, dingy hole, I’m not one of them. I know you wouldn’t want to believe me but I was with her, I was on her side. You have to trust me Boyce. This is for her best,”

Boyce stared at Harry for a long time then behind him over the glassy windows, thinking of everything, debating whether he should tell him or not. 

“Please Boyce. Believe me, she would want you to tell me this.” 

“How can I trust you?” Boyce snapped. 

Harry looked over at him softly “Because I know what you’re feeling. I know you want to protect her, I’ve been doing this my whole life. I can’t tell you why I need to meet her but I can promise you that the one’s who did whatever they did to her are the ones i’m fighting against. I need you to trust me. Please.” 

Boyce thought for a long time, just staring at Harry then he noticed the desperation in his eyes, he could see Harry really needed this, he could sense it in his impatient self “You really need to see her, don’t you?” 

Harry nodded. 

Boyce sighed “She lives in the Hafton Building, Shaftsbury Avenue, 7th Apartment. It’ll probably be under the name of Nott’s,” 

“Nott’s ? Like Theodore Nott?” Harry asked. confused. 

“Yeah. She’s married to him. Why?” 

Harry thought for a moment about his conversation with Theodore then finally answered Boyce “I just know him from sometime ago. Met him a couple of days ago.“ 

Boyce evidently nodded, not thinking much of it. The pendulum clock behind him rang suddenly indicating that it was already 11 in the night and it hit Harry then that he was running very late and his friends back home might be getting worried. 

“By the way can I get a cake ?” 

“Sure“ 

Moments later when Harry’s cake was packed and he was ready to step out of the bakery Boyce called him one last time “I’m trusting you, Harry, don’t let it go to waste.” 

Harry looked at him standing in the middle of the Bakery, hope glinting in his eyes “Thank you for that- wait- How did you know my real name? I remember I told you it was Ron?” he frowned, his auror instincts kicking in to grab his wand from his pocket for any impending danger that might come along.  

“You’re very famous, even among Squibs. She used to tell me about you. She didn’t like you before school though.” he smiled as if he was remembering in his head every conversation they might’ve have had. 

 “Yeah, Her and I didn’t really see eye to eye on things,” Harry replied. He was finally ready to leave when he had to say just one last thing “ I’m sure she misses you.” 

No more words or explanations were needed, no more lingering glances, no more second thoughts were needed as Harry finally walked away from the bakery leaving Boyce alone. 

By the time Harry arrived Ron’s place again, his head was swimming with questions and adrenaline pumping up through his entire body like sparks that shot right up thinking about all the possible questions he finally would be able to find the answers of that he had been waiting all along to know of. The more he thought, the more he got excited about reaching somewhere but at the same time he felt himself being pulled down by something, he was finally close and it left him feeling stranger, scared somehow. 

“Where the hell have you been?” Ron asked as soon as he opened the door for Harry. He, without a word entered the flat, kept the cake over the kitchen table and summoned Ron and Hermione, as if he would burst if he didn’t tell them right now. 

“What took you so long ? Don’t tell me you got distracted once again-” 

“I know where Pansy is. She’s married to Theodore Nott.” Harry cut him off and rendered Ron speechless. Hermione gave him a shocked look at the same time a knowing look, as though she should’ve known. 

“But that day Theodore said he didn’t had relations with anyone in the Wizarding world,” Ron said 

“ Well it seems then he lied.” Harry raised his eyebrows. 

“How did you figure this out ?” Hermione asked from where she had sat down coming down from a mild shock. 

“ Boyce. He is Pansy’s brother- non magical that is. I went down to his bakery being the only one that was open,” Harry told them.

“ So, what now?” Ron asked eagerly. 

Harry looked at Ron longingly and replied “Guess i’ll have to pay a visit to the Nott’s after all.” 

___________________________________________

“Parcel for the Nott’s,” Harry disguised in the buzzer. 

“Who’s it from ?” Someone asked in the intercom. 

“It says from the Firdle Real estate.“ Harry lied, holding onto the empty box. 

The person on the other side hummed and buzzed open the door. Harry’s heart rate picked up as he went up the stairs looking for the 7th floor. He could make up stuff in his head, why Theo might’ve possibly lied, but, right now going to visit him at his place to counter question him made Harry more nervous than he had been than when he came up with the idea of visiting them. Moments later when he was standing in front of The Nott’s apartment and had knocked, he kept a safe hold on his wand for anything that might’ve come his way but to his surprise a little girl opened the door. 

“Lilian, How many times have I told you to call me to open the door.” Someone’s voice echoed inside the flat and it was growing louder as if whoever it was, was approaching the front door. 

“Ha- Harry“ She gasped in a calm undertone but surprised all at the same time, However she knew she expected to see Harry standing on the other side of the opened door. 

Harry nodded and knelt down in front of the little girl “Your name’s Lilian?” 

“Yes I am. Who are you though? And what are you doing here?” she asked innocently. 

“I’m Harry Potter-” 

“You’re The Harry Potter. The one who killed the ugly man named Voldemort?” She asked excitedly 

Harry chuckled “I wouldn’t boast but he really had no nose and he really was ugly.” 

“Yeah I hate him.“ she muttered. 

Pansy approached Lilian, placing her hand on her shoulder “Who doesn’t Honey- Why are you here?” She asked. 

Harry stood up dusting his knees “I come here as an old acquaintance seeking help.” 

“My help?” Pansy scoffed “What could you possibly need my help with?” 

“I hope you’re aware I met Theo a couple of days ago,” Harry replied 

Pansy nodded, “I’m sorry but I can’t help you” 

Harry nodded dismissively. 

“Well, if that is it, I really will leave but before I go, I have a message for you- Boyce misses you” 

Pansy face became pale, exhaling sharply pressing her lips together. Harry stood there for a couple of minutes hoping it would weaken her stance but as seconds passed on, he was worried it didn’t and he made slow approach to step back to go away disappointed, until when he reached the elevators a little away from her apartment door, she called out to him “Would you like a cup of coffee?” 

Harry smiled “That’d be fine.” 

______________________________________________

“You’ve got a nice house here.” Harry admitted after having looked around the room. 

Pansy nodded “Thanks. Back then it took all our savings.” she returned with a cup of coffee and a plate of biscuits in her hands. 

She rest the plate over the small table near the dining table and herself sat down opposite to Harry with her own cup of coffee. 

“I’m assuming that was your daughter?” Harry asked 

Pansy nodded. 

“How old is she?” Harry asked again. 

“Just turned 5.″ she replied

“she looks just like you.” Harry complimented looking far at Lilian who was carefully colouring in her book. 

“Harry- Why are you here?” She asked. 

“You don’t know?” Harry asked bemused. 

“I know but I want to know your reason. Why me?” She asked curiously. 

“Because there is nobody who I can reach out to who wouldn’t lie to me.” Harry replied. 

Pansy shook her head, “How are you so sure that I wouldn’t lie to you?” 

Harry exhaled “Because you care for Draco even after all this time.” 

“But from what I’ve heard you are working on the case to keep him in Azkaban?” 

Harry nodded, “If that were the thing, I’d had convinced why he should be kept there a long time ago. Let me tell you this, If I really had to convince that Draco should remain in Azkaban, then I would’ve turned down the case 2 days after I had received it and It would’ve inevitably kept him there until a new Auror would not have been found but I didn’t turn it down, I’m 2 weeks into the case and right now I’m here. So tell me, Do you really believe I want to keep him there?” 

Pansy looked at Harry for a long time, a sense of doubt crossing her features “Even if I believe you, how can I be sure that you’re not lying? After all you have no reason to save Draco at all.” 

Harry sighed again and momentarily looked at her daughter across the room unaware of the communication they were having “I want to redeem my mistakes.You are right, I have no reason to save Draco but I know I want to save an innocent” 

Pansy gave him a soft look “You are a weird guy, you know. You want to save your former arch-nemesis,” 

Harry gave a short laugh, almost a faint one “I am a weird guy,” He looked back at her again “But I would need your help saving him, but I need you to trust me.” 

“You’re doing some hard bargain here, Harry. It’s hard to trust someone who works for the one who put him there.” She stated but without malice. 

He remained silent for a long time, looking at his cup of coffee growing colder moment by moment, “Do you know what Termite does for a living?” 

She didn’t respond. 

“Termite reaches till the inner core of a building, eats it out, make it hollow that the whole building is surviving on a single thread, it would collapse anytime. We have a termite here, Pansy, It’s eating everything out, its weakening everything and I know who the Termite is.” Harry replied deadpanned.

He dropped the stone over the ground making sure to make no noise but the rustling of the door awakened the beast and it crawled towards him. He shimmied back into the corner until no corner was left to fit into and he whimpered begging the mercy from the beast to let him go but what a deaf beast would know.

The beast took its bite, sucked his memory and left over the ground was a filled with tears Draco Malfoy waiting for the numbness to settle in. His life was becoming more meaningless than it ever had been, only now, he didn’t had anything more left to offer.

Draco huffed as he readjusted the duffel bag over his shoulder since it kept sliding down every 2 seconds and it was starting to annoy him. 

“I can’t believe you’ve convinced me to come with you.” Draco grunted. 

“I can’t believe you weren’t convinced to do it before.” She wickedly smiled.

Draco rolled his eyes at her and continued, “You know what I’d do when I get the arrow?” 

“What?” She asked half attentively.

“Shoot you to another planet.” He replied. 

She gave him a fake smile and replied, “Aw, it's sweet of you to think that you can even hold the arrow straight.” 

Dracp rolled his eyes again. 

“Look, whine all you want as a baby but you needed to get out of your home and stop sulking about your ex.” 

“For your kind information, I wasn’t sulking about my ex, I was merely hibernating.” He replied in a matter of factly tone. 

“Whatever helps you sleep at night.” She rolled her eyes at him comically. 

Draco didn’t argue further with her because frankly there was no point. The thing was, Pansy wasn’t wrong. He had been sulking away, escaping everyone since the stupid moron of his boyfriend cheated on him only to avoid people with questions like how could he not have known? or when? or why? or how did it happen? he didn’t want to answer anyone especially because he had none, but when you’re a public figure, news spread like a fire. So almost everyone in the Wizarding world knew Draco Malfoy’s heart had been crushed into little glasses and he in turn felt like digging a hole 7 inches deep and burying himself alive. 

To the rescue came Pansy with her glorious idea of taking Draco to Archery classes to get his mind off things. She had joined the place last year and now couldn’t bring herself to stop and when she made it sound like a piece of cake, Draco gave it a chance and here he was now, walking into the field of Archery. 

“Señora Pansy,” The man greeted her and enchantingly took her hand in his own and kissed it softly in the most posh way possible. 

“Always a delight Issac.” She grinned. 

Draco obviously internally gagged. 

“I’ve bought a friend with me, Issac meet Draco,” She introduced, “Its his first time.” She hushed to Issac. 

Draco greeted Issac with a warm smile and at the same time scowled at Pansy.

“Anyhoo- lets get on with it-” 

“I’m sorry I’m late.” 

Draco turned his head toward the sound, and obviously it came from the one who had haunted his dreams ever so often, almost his entire teenage, the one and only Harry Potter. 

Harry’s eyebrow’s shot up as soon as his eyes laid upon Draco and within a second, his lips curved in an impressive smirk. 

Draco groaned turning around and mumbled to himself,”Brilliant” 

He narrowed his eyes at Pansy, scowling even who in turn just turned away with a knowing smile. A perfect master plan in her opinion. 

Everyone as announced took their place and clearly obliged to the instructions said by Issac himself. Draco heard it all very carefully and was curiously interested until Harry took his position next to Draco.

“If it isn’t the boy who had his heart broken himself.” Harry smirked. 

Draco rolled his eyes, “If it isn’t the boy who still ends up on the first page of the daily himself.” 

Harry chuckled next to him while looking down at his feet, then continued, “So, what happened? Married to someone else did he or cheated?”

“What’s it to do with you?” Draco sneered at Harry. 

“Oi- new boy, focus-” Issac snapped. From what Draco assumed was when he kept mumbling something while staring at Draco, he was probably using slur words in Italian. 

Draco obliged to remain silent while Harry next to him couldn’t hold on to his laughter. To make it easy, Draco as casually as possible stubbed over his feet, making him groan in pain. 

This time Issac slurred at Harry. 

When finally the instructions were over, everyone got into position, taking their bows and arrows, chalk clapped into their hands, hand gear put up for beginners and googles put on. 

Harry had been putting on his belt of arrows when he he decided to bother Draco again who was in position and ready to shoot. 

“Isn’t it your first time?” He asked. 

Without looking Draco replied a yes. 

“Don’t you want to warm up a little bit- cry a little or maybe call your father for that matter.” Harry teased taking his final position as well. 

Draco sensed the lightness in his banter and replied him with equal part sarcasm, “don’t you have a little less brain to be in such a sport and a little too much of a mouth.” 

Harry was impressed by his comeback. He chose not to reply anything since Issac passed by behind him. He set his hand upright and then finally continued, “You do realise this sport isn’t for kids? Maybe you should practice first you know or run off possibly.” 

But before Harry could’ve teased further, Draco shot his arrow making it meet the periphery of the center leaving Harry astound. 

"You were saying?" Draco asked with raised brows.

Harry nodded looking away, "Definitely not like a baby."

“Aw- Don’t sound so disappointed, I might think you don’t like me.” Draco sarcastically smiled at him. 

Harry raised his eyebrows in complete surprise of the comeback as well as his shot. He soon turned away and practiced his shooting. 

That was until Draco had almost used up most of his arrows that Harry interrupted again. 

“Can I tell you a secret?” 

Draco hummed without sparing a glance at Harry to not lose his focus. 

Harry leaned a little closer towards Draco and said, “You’re a little too brilliant than most of the people in the class” 

Draco finally turned to Harry with a tint of surprise because he had actually complimented him. When he looked at him to even analyse his words, Harry was already looking at him with a smile and with his eyes fixated on Draco, he let out his arrow, making it meet almost at the center of the board. 

Draco was entirely too impressed but didn’t want to say it out loud because that would the facade of how he wasn’t absolutely swooned by Harry and instead he grunted, “Show off.” 

Harry shrugged and got on with his play. 

Even though Harry and Draco had been done much before anyone in the class, they were asked to stay back to keep the equipment's back in the locker room for having disturbed between the class. 

“All your fault.” Draco taunted. 

Harry shook his head, “I was trying to be friendly.” 

“Oh- yeah. We’re amazing friends now.” Draco sarcastically grumbled pushing the last of the used board into the room along with Harry. 

Harry couldn’t help but laugh, the simple short laugh which turned contagious second by second resulting in maniacal laugh. 

“Are you nuts? Why are you still laughing?” Draco asked completely confused. 

Harry shook his head, holding onto his stomach in pain but he couldn’t stop laughing. It was too much to the point that despite Draco trying to keep a stern composure, he himself was holding off his laugh. 

“Why are you laughing so much?” Draco asked, short laughs making his way through. 

But Harry still couldn’t speak anything which ultimately resulted in Draco laugh just as hard as Harry and fighting for air and to make it even funnier, Issac had found them and practically thrown them out of the place. 

They ended up laughing for good 5 minutes even after leaving the place and ended up catching up for a cup of coffee.

Though It definitely didn't turn in an unplanned date (It did).

After all this time, always the same - Part 2 

Mild angst/ hurt comfort

Rain patted on the patio with the soft whirl of a wind making a peaceful sound. A residual of dead leaf floating over 1 inch of water and reflection of the flickering light of the place burning in a soft yellow. 

Harry revived in that rain, drinking his warm cup of coffee, away from everyone and gazing at the beautiful skyline of London. He drank another sip of coffee, the bitter aftertaste remaining but turned into a sweetness in given moments. 

“Out here alone again?” he heard. 

Harry didn’t need to turn around to know it was Ginny. He welcomed her in his presence; She came and stood next to Harry with her hand placed over the railing and in a soft physical touch Harry placed his hand over hers, rubbing it lightly. 

“We’ve lived here for 3 years and this skyline still amazes me.” Harry gushed. 

Ginny smiled, “The world is always changing, it’s something new everyday.” 

Harry hummed along. She was right, the world keeps moving forward, we keep evolving, 

And yet some unspoken things remain the same. 

“I wanted to discuss about certain wedding plans, whenever you come inside can we talk about it?” Ginny asked. 

Harry gave her a warm smile and nodded, “I’ll be in a few minutes. Gotta finish my coffee.” 

She nodded along and with a small smile herself, she walked back inside. 

Harry watched as she walked away. He adored her, her silhouette, her long ginger hair, the sound of her footstep, the curve of her smile, the sound of her voice, he loved it, everything about her and he might be the luckiest man alive to marry the girl he had loved for so long, after all that is what everyone looks forward to one day. His one day was in 2 weeks and he couldn’t wait for it. 

He turned back to the face of London again and in the soft rain of October, he finished his coffee and went back inside to do the last minute discussions of the wedding. 

But when the night came, when the sun had set and the moon had risen with the dark clouds hazing the sky, day turned into night and another day yet to arrive, he still lurked in the darkness of the night over the one last moment from years ago over the branch of a Maple tree nobody knew had ever even been there. The moment locked there that nobody knew of. 

But now, everyone did. 

He had been trying to ignore what happened at the gallery, he didn't answer anyone's questions because he didn't feel like he needed to and even if someone pestered him too much, he would simply walk away. However, It bothered him and it was evident but he didn't want to think of those days or reminisce again in the lost moments. Those days were over but ever since that one look at the Gallery, Harry had been unable to forget him at all.

It was easier before when they had not met each other for years, when they only heard of each other through someone else or saw it in the newspapers but now, old wounds had been cut reopen and blood flew out of them and no bandage worked good enough. Harry found it hard to not think about Draco anymore and it was worrying to him because he didn't like thinking of him anymore, especially after what had happened in the past but when he's lying awake in the night, staring up at the ceiling, he would run little circles over his own hand and think of the forgotten days and mourn over the lost years.

But things had changed, he convinced himself, things had indeed changed.

________________________________

As days spent away, the date of the wedding remained not further than 4 more days and it was suddenly starting to hit Harry that he was about to be bound to someone for the rest of his life and love someone till his lungs give out and just for one last moment, he wanted to feel free again.

"Are you sure you want me to go?" Harry asked for the third time.

Ginny pushed him out of the door and smiled "I want you to go, more because I need time away from you. It's sort of like a before wedding ritual. Now go- shush."

And the door closed with a thud and Harry was left with no option but to leave, though he was quite relieved to do so.

He drove of miles without a destination in his mind but some track song playing on the radio and cool breeze circulating inside his car. It relieved him off so many things, almost feeling like an escape he didn't know he needed and it felt amazing. He finally got the opportunity to see the outskirts of London that he had never been to all this time, the river that comes down the mountains, and the highways he had never had the chance to drive upon. He kept driving with his windows down and the music still playing. He took his hand out of the window and let the air pass through his fingers, and he felt them untangle from something invisible. He felt the breeze travelling through his hand to his neck, to his head and his heart and it unclenched him off so many things and it made him feel happy.

But the moment he had taken a halt and stood outside, leaning against his car, he felt the heaviness in his chest, he felt it clog and unclog and he yearned for something he had been depriving himself off for so many years. He told himself he shouldn't do it, but London have never looked so beautiful and the sky had never been more clear and so he hesitantly convinced himself that he would drive off to a destination he was destined upon since he was 15.

_________________________________

The fallen leaves from old trees crunched under his feet as he walked past many trees, and the sound that seemed to have been sung by the trees when the air passed through them. It was all too beautiful, the smell of the forest, the light of the sun that made it through the canopies, the sound of animals from afar, the dried up leaves over the ground, it was all too beautiful, just like he remembered.

He might've walked a couple more steps and there he finally was, under the same Maple tree from years ago. He smiled as he looked up and searched around the trunk for the step be created to climb up. It took him a while but he found it and climbed upon carefully.

He breathed sharply as he reached the bench and looked further ahead at the scenery and he was stunned to realise that nothing had changed, it was just like he remembered it, just the same that came in his dream so often, just like the one he had daydreamed of ever since he last came here.

He smiled as he grazed the bench next to his own and he felt the memory come alive in his head, the one from the last day.

"Are you scared?" He had asked

Harry nodded, "change is always hard,"

"Are you ?"

Draco nodded, "Change is always hard."

He didn't want to waste away time in pleasantaries or make small talks anymore, they already have lost a lot of it because of it, so he asked "Will you think about me?"

Harry kept watching ahead, not sparing a glance at Draco, he knew he would think of him everyday but he shook his head instead.

"I don't want it to hurt."

Draco nodded even when he was hurt, "I know I will."

Harry finally looked at him, his features so soft that wanted to caress his face but he didn't, he couldn't anymore.

"You will?"

Draco nodded, "I don't want to forget us."

Harry smiled, "We didn't really exist, did we though?"

But Draco had been far too serious and Harry knew it when he faced him and he saw the glitter of tears held back behind his eyelids.

"We did if only for a short while, it was everything."

Harry couldn't say anything, but he wishes he had, he wishes so much that he had that day.

Harry pushed himself upwards and took out his wallet from the back pocket and opened upto a picture of him and Ginny but today he didn't want to look at it. Today, he took out the hidden picture behind it and grazed over it with his fingers to the burnt corner of the picture that he had once tried to burn but had never been able to actually quite do it.

He flipped the photograph and noted the date "October 15, 1997", the same date of his marriage. It was the last of what he had been left of Draco. He had tried multiple times to throw away that picture that Colin had took but everytime he would look at it, his agony would flood inside him and he was push it away into secret.

He gazed at the Draco in the photo again, both of them cuddled together and he found himself giving out a giggle and he thought it was just that, but a tear blocked his glasses and he had to take off his glasses to wipe them off. His heart clenched in his chest a lot more than he had wanted it to and he pressed that photograph against his chest and he let out the tears he had never allowed to drop from 10 years ago, he finally let it hurt and it stung but he let it happen.

___________________________________

Ginny was helping Harry after dinner when she stopped him by holding his hand and made him look at her.

"Harry?"

"Yeah"

"I- wanted to say this, so just hear me out. I've been thinking and I am so happy that we're getting married In a day and I cannot ask for a better man but something have been worrying me"

"worrying you?" He asked confused.

"Ever since the day we came from the Gallery-"

"Not you too-" he huffed

"Please- just let me say. I've been worried that you've been different ever since. I just want to know if you're okay or if there is anything you feel like you want to tell me?" Ginny asked softly.

Harry held her hand softly and replied, "I am fine, you have nothing to worry about."

Ginny didn't look convinced but nodded anyways but she still went on, "Harry- we'll be together forever after a day. Like forever, you realise that don't you? It's not something that ends in a week or two years, it's gonna be forever. I want to know if you're absolutely sure about this ?"

"Gin, you're just getting cold feet about everything. I want to marry you alright. I've never wanted anything more." He assured her.

She smiled at Harry and then finally hugged him.

"I can't wait to be married."

Harry hummed and kissed the top of her head and yet, his mind lingered on the word forever. Together forever.

And suddenly he felt the heaviness in his chest again.

I had never quite planned on writing a part 2 to this but since I posted this on Instagram, i received a couple requests and thought as to why not.

Will have a part 3 though 😀.

After all this time, always the same

Prompt used- kissing the top of other's head| harry and draco finally meet each other years later at a memorial gallery, discovering some buried promises |

" I actually did not know Colin was this good " Harry said impressed as they walked the gallery

" really, who knew that kid was really good " Ron hummed.

" i miss that kid " Harry said as he drown in reminiscents of everyone who died in the war

" I am sure it would mean a great deal that you're here Harry. He always looked upto to you, he lived a nice life " Denis smiled at harry before he departed to he other batch of visitors. It was almost 10 years after war when one day a bunch of Hogwarts student's had received an invitation to the colin memorial gallery. Dennis, his brother had managed to construct certain photographs Colin had taken before he died and decided to put it into his memorial. Apparently Colin always wanted something like that, but his gallery Would've been incomplete if the people he had photographed had not shown up, so this was the reason why a bunch of Hogwarts student's had been given a free pass as a contribution to his memory. Harry was however saddened by the absence of colin. After all this time he still misses all those who died a lot. He learnt it the hard way that he will probably never forget any of them but he can manage to live with it.

It was however surprising how amazingly brilliant Colin's skills were. Nobody knew he had even taken their pictures secretly and it were all too great.

" hey, theres us " Ron said a little too loudly, much to anyone's liking. Harry gave them all a small apologetic smile before he joined Ron to see the photograph hanging over the wall of him, Ron and Hermione.

" seems like a different era, doesn't it ?" Ron nostalgically said.

Hermione nodded besides him as she put her head over Ron's shoulder. 10 years and they're still in love like they were when they were kids. Harry had always been fond of their relationship, not because it's his friends but because of everything it was built upon, the love they have is just for each other, and there probably had never existed other who had walked upon earth who they'd love them more than they loved each other.

" there's you " Ron suddenly pointed a small picture on the bottom

" oh yeah- that's me " harry carefully looked at his solo photograph. He wasn't particularly attentive, looking in some other direction as if he was watching out for something.

" that's forbidden forest " Hermione peeped carefully at the picture

" It might be the courtyard " Harry interjected as he took a few steps away to look at a few more pictures to avoid their questions.

" but harry I'm sure it's forbidden forest, it's the same place where sir- where you fought those dementors, I'm sure " Hermione egged on

" I'm not saying it might not be, might be. I wandered off a lot during 5th year but I'm pretty sure it must've been just the courtyard, Colin wouldn't probably enter the forest " Harry made a point with raised eyebrows. Hermione didn't seem to believe yet nodded forcefully, dropping the matter.

" there's a tons of pictures of you guys here " Someone said from behind Harry and before he had time to register to who it was, his fingers were already intertwined with someone and by the touch, he just knew it was Ginny.

" well he was quite a fan of me " harry smirked at his fiance.

" but still. It's like you were his personal models. Gotta agree though, he was great " Ginny said as she looked at the wall in front of them.

" he was " Harry hummed and walked alongside the rest of the gallery with them.

It wasn't until Ginny got bored of looking at plain walls just with pictures, she left to chat with other people. Hermione and Ron had collected themselves to the other part of the gallery, conversing with a few people. That meant Harry was left alone and he found it quite relieving even if he loved all of them.

He had reached the last of the gallery when his eyes fell upon the same blonde head he had abstained himself from seeing in years. Hundreds of flashbacks flashed back as he tried not to stare at him. It had been years yet even now if Harry passed by him, he'd know he still smells the same. As if he too had sensed Harry's presence, he looked away from the picture to his direction. They only locked eyes for a moment, a moment of weakness before Harry nodded and walked away. He sighed as he walked away, it has been so long, so long yet this feeling doesn't change. He thought staying away would change but it hadn't helped, not a lot to be precise.

Harry walked away deeper in the gallery until he reached the last of halls and stopped there, right there at the last picture. It was the last picture Colin had clicked after which only his broken camera's were set. Harry would be lying if he said he wasn't stunned to see the last picture. It was so weirdly ironic how the last photograph from Colin's collection was the picture marked with the symbolic representation of end of certain other things. Harry longingly stared at the picture, the moment running on his mind like a music reel

" this seems nice doesn't it ?" He asked

" it's more than nice Draco " Harry had replied

" Harry- i-" but he closed his mouth

" what ?" Harry asked him to continue when he was rendered speechless

" nothing " Draco sighed as he leaned back on the tree

" go on, tell me " Harry said as he climbed forward towards him

Draco stared at him long enough as though he was memorising harry deep within his heart.

" you're going to love me the same, right ?" He finally asked.

Harry stared at him, more confused than ever before he cupped Draco's face and said " of course Draco, always the same way "

" even if I do the most wrong in the world ?" Draco asked a strange shadow of sadness covering his eyes, obstructing Harry from reading his eyes.

" you- I- I-"

" it's hard to say ?" Draco asked almost hurt

" Draco, I believe you. I love you, I'll always love you the same way but the definition of most wrong depends on a lot of things but I believe in you, I know you wouldn't do anything that would be the most wrong thing to me in the world" Harry gave him a comforting smile . When Draco didn't say anything he climbed into Draco's lap and rested his head against his Chest, hearing the rapid heartbeats.

" you're afraid of something Draco " Harry said as he analysed his heart rate

" I'm afraid of the ruins " Draco truthfully answered because he was aware of everything he was supposed to be doing.

" ruins ?" Harry asked confused, craning his neck up to look at him, only to find Draco looking far away. He seemed lost.

" we can never be wholly together Harry, I'm always afraid, every moment of my life when I'm with you..I'm afraid you'll wake up from this dream and realise it's all ruins " Draco answered, his lips trembling a bit. Harry snuggled in closer to his chest, he knew he was right..

" you're not a ruined man Draco and this isn't ruins to me " Harry Answered

" am I not ?" Draco asked looking hurt

" y- you're not a ruined man but even if you are, you are my ruined man and I promise to love you the same way, everyday even if this doesn't work out, you get me ?" Harry asked empathetically.

" you must be a fool to fall in love with me " Draco finally said after a few minutes smiling down at harry.

Sensing the light tone Harry smiled up at him " then I am your fool "

" I'd rather never wake up from this dream " Draco smiled at harry lovingly then kissed on the top of his head and just then they heard a shuttering sound, startling them awake from their moment.

If only harry had known what was to happen, he'd had never gotten up and ran for the sound but he had and it had ruined millions of memories that could've been made.

" it's a beautiful picture" a familiar voice said behind Harry. He didn't need to turn around to know who it belonged to, he had grown up Being fond of it.

" while It lasted " Harry replied turning his head to find Draco was now standing next to him

" broken promises, some thing huh"

" I know I kept mine " Harry whispered avoiding looking Draco in the eye

" did you ?" Draco retaliated

" I always did " Harry replied more seriously now than before.

" oh hey, it's the same picture from your albums Harry- didn't see you there malfoy, g-good to see you " Ron suddenly appeared from behind them

" you never really talk about him. One boyfriend huh " Ron added Patting Harry on his back.

" it's because of the ruins " Harry replied smiling at Ron.

Draco turned his head towards Harry that it almost snapped. Harry had already been looking at him when he did, and for a moment just for a moment, everything had vanished from the room except them. The people here didn't matter, it was just them, finally away in their isolation Just with each other without their ruins. It was a moment of weakness where they smiled at each other knowingly that after all this time, always the same.

" Harry, it's your boyfriend from sixth year, the one in the album-"

" Draco, it's the picture from the album, your boyfriend-"

Astoria and Ginny's simultaneously said.

Requests open

Day 25- perfect birthday plans | Day 27- Harry's dance partner

Au idea I can’t shake?

Draco and Harry lived on a street with identical houses (neighborhood rule or some shit… but the school system was the best so people for some reason put up with it)

Like so identical that when they started kindergarten and walked back home, they sometimes couldn’t remember which house was who’s

So, not having met yet, Harry walks back one day and instead of going to his house, accedentally walks straight into the Malfoy kitchen and only once he sits down and looks up from his newest comic and sees narcissa’s stunned face does he realize he is in the wrong house

Narcissa asks if he’s dracos friend and he’s all like who? That one kid with the blonde hair? He seems nice

She chuckles but tells him his family might be worried and she needs to check to see where Draco might have gone

First, because Harry had been eyeing the freashly made batch of cookies (and his own mom had promised to make him some anyways that morning), she gives him a glass of milk and a cookie

She likes this kid, he is polite and animated and she can’t help but think what if he became best friends with her son

She takes his hand and walks him over next door, only to be interrupted mid-knock by Lilly opening the door with Draco right behind her

They both stare at their boys and then at each other and begin to laugh

They become best friends

As for Draco and Harry, it’s a little rocky. Neither boy likes that their mom likes the other so much; they should be the favorites

But eventually

They are forced to hangout so much as the families get to know each other that they will play together if around each other

Then one day on the bus to school

Harry Sees Draco sitting alone with no friends.

He decides to sit beside him, and then decides that he would do everything all over again just to see the look of tentative happiness on the other boys face again

They become best friends pretty quickly after that, finally hanging out after school

After school, sometimes they get lost on the way to their houses again

They still mix it up, but it’s ok because whichever house they choose to wonder into, they are welcomed with hugs and cookies for the both of them

Expect for that one time they accidentally walked into a house that looked only sort of identical owned by a man named Filch Norris. It didn’t help that they happened to be discussing at the time the rumors of his wife getting turned into a cat he now kept as a pet

Once Lilly got a glass wind chime she hung on the portch so the boys could tell which house was which, but after a wild game of catch the orange, it was broken on purpose and quickly hidden away

To this day neither boy will admit to knowing who was at fault, and honestly they both wanted it gone so much they don’t remember who had delt it its final blow (Lilly does, as she had been watching from the window. it had been her own son, probably wanting no excuse for Draco to not follow him wherever he went)

Later, in middle school, they have their first real fight

Harry had been out with friends and Draco had been tagging along, with Harry as always

One of his friends dared Harry to kiss someone in the circle

Draco was scared out of his wits because he didn’t want Harry to kiss anyone else but he knew Harry would never back down from a challenge and there was no way that this could end well

So he lied and told the whole group that Harry had cooties and the last girl who had kissed Harry gagged so hard she never kissed anyone ever again, and was subsequently so embarrassed and horrified to have done that, shut down and ran away

Harry was pissed. He mainly was angry on how Draco had lied to the group and hurt Harry through this, ruining his reputation and acting callous and mean towards him. But he was also pretty bummed because the person he had been considering kissing had been Draco

The fight continued for months. They didn’t talk. They didn’t sit together. They didn’t walk home together. They didn’t go to each others houses anymore.

Lilly and narcissa were devastated. They hated seeing their boys so sad, and hated seeing them without the other

At the end of the year, Harry was having a bad day. He hadn’t slept that night, finishing his essay on changing ocean tides, and he was really missing Draco. His other friends were being little shits at the moment, and he was feeling incredibly lonely. His headphones were on, and his hood was up, and he shuffled his feet into his house without paying attention straight into the kitchen and into a chair, head falling down into his arms.

Until he realized that this chair was much too stiff to be his chair. He jerked up, startled, and looked around frantically only to come to face with narcissas beaming smile and dracos shocked face, mouth open, eyes wide, and a cup of tea spilling from his hand onto the floor

Harry jumped up with a “sorry, sorry, I’m so sorry” as he scrambled backwards, tripping over his feet and flying out the door to run back to his real house, up the stairs and into his room.

He was a disaster

The next day, Draco follows him to his house after school, saying nothing

Harry lets him

Lilly stares frozen in shock as the two of them slump past her with quiet hellos as they go up to Harry’s room

Harry doesn’t say anything either. He still hates what Draco did, but he would forgive Draco at the slightest hint of apology if it meant he got his friend back again.

They sit next to eachother on Harry’s bed, trainers toed off at the doorway and backpacks thrown by the desk

Draco can barely get out an I’m sorry before Harry is hugging him tightly

They would never admit it out loud but both shared more than a few tears in that embrace

Once again the two of them are inseparable

And Lilly and narcissa plan wedding invitations for when the time comes (because mothers apparently always know)

Their first kiss is in high school, after Harry snapped at a girl asking Draco out, under the tree they had tried to burry the broken wind chime

Their first I love yours were screamed at eachother in pure joy and fear as they ran away from mr norris’ house, having been caught snogging behind his ash tree in the front yard, almost falling moaning on top of his cat

Their vows were exchanged in the backyard of Harry, while the reception was held in draco’s backyard (or had it been the other way around?)

They bought a house a little bit aways from their old neighborhood, and with college/university and jobs they didn’t get a chance to come back much

One day, after a particularly long time away, they both head back to their parents. They look at their two houses side by side, heads tilted and noses scrunched in puzzlement

“Draco, have our houses always been different colors?”

“You know what, Harry, I think they might have been.”

And they lived happily ever after
