Harry pov:
I think the person who invented maths should be rotting in hell. I mean who needs to know square roots of fractions? It doesn't make sense. I wish I could leave and go home to chill or see draco, my boyfriend, who nobody knows about yet. We decided to come up with a scheme to see how long it would take for people to find out, its been around 3 months and no one suspects a thing, not even hermione.
I wouldn't mind but it's not like we that secretive either, my friends aren't very fond of him because, as I recall, they think he is "a rich and privileged kid who is too egotistical for his own good". Fair enough he used to be, when he insulted them. However he has changed and I know he has.
Before I could dive too far into my thoughts hermione nudged me bringing me back to reality, snapping her fingers in front of me.
"Harry! Do your work, what are you thinking about?" In her strict motherly tone I've grown accustomed to.
Fuck.
"Nothing I just don't get it, so I'm thinking " covering my tracks until I realise everyone else was packing away, so I followed.
As soon as we were done, we left to wait outside English for Ron before making our way to dinner. Me, Ron and hermione got our food and talked about classes and what we'd want to do after school whilst going to our table next to the door on the far right side like always. They sit opposite me next to eachother as
I'm on the other side facing the cafeteria doors, though I'm never focused on them.
Instead, we continued our conversation from earlier eating every once in awhile. We have 35 minutes anyway so what's the rush?
Draco pov:
Coming out of the English building, I gathered my homework for this week before making my way down to the dinner hall. Me and harry have stayed quiet for a long time now and we've talked about people knowing but we want it to be in a funny , humorous way . I know that if we waited for others to find out I'd never be able to be seen outside with him so I've devised a plan. A smirk graces my face as I walk through the doors.
I immediately spot him with granger and weasley at their table. Thankfully, he doesn't notice me despite him having glassed and all. He's in deep conversation with them so that'll be why.
I sneak behind him and the second I come into view :
"What are you doing here?" Ron practically forces out face distorted in disgust.
Before the others say anything and Harry's head turn around, I snake my arms down his shoulders until my hands lock onto his chest.
"Hey, baby" tilting my head, completely ignoring Ron's comment.
His head turns towards me slightly with a smile plastered on his face. Eyes lit up making him look more beautiful than ever. His friends jaw drops as he replies
"Hey sweetheart" leaning up to kiss me which I happily comply. His hands moving to rest on mine which rest on his chest. I smile into it.
After a few seconds I squeeze his hand and let go leaning my head back up. I kiss his head and turn to sit next to him, my legs at each side of the chair , so I sit sideways.
Harry pov:
Well. That happened. I can't complain because shit, it was hot but really sweet. My friends reaction is priceless if it was under any other circumstances I would be laughing, I finally look to hermione and Ron;
"What? You guys okay there?" Chuckling to them knowing too well what they were shocked at. They can only splutter which causes me to turn my head resting it on his shoulder, feeling heat rise up his neck. No matter how many times I do this, he has the same reaction every time. I think it's cute.
Hermione is the first one to speak up " Harry! When did this happen? Why did you not say? And what!?" But I can only sigh knowing this is what she'd react like.
"Well hermione, it was 3 months ago, you know at the..what was it?" Lifting my head up to look at draco for help
"The school charity event" he reminds me
"Oh yeah, at the event we were looking around the rooms and the decor and I don't know it just happened. I bumped into him, nearly knocked something over and kissed him." Smiling at the memory.
"Yes, but to be fair we were quite good friends before. I just forgot he was there." His right hand resting on my far shoulder stroking it in a comforting motion, his arm around my shoulder.
Before hermione could say anything else, Ron retaliates
"Mate, fine but why out of everyone, is it him? The rich dickhead?" I glare at Ron immediately.
"Watch your tone, Ron and its him because I fell in love with him. Contrary to what you believe, he's not this horrible and stuck up person you have an idea of." My tone firm.
Ron surrenders with an 'Okay, fine. Good for you harry' which receives a 'thank you' from me.
I smirk as I say " though, you should see him in the morning with his hair all messy and clinging-" I'm cut off my draco who covers my mouth with his free hand.
"Okay, okay. They don't need to know about my appearance on a morning. I'm still as graceful as ever, and Ron, before you say anything harry says so himself." Speaking of my friend, he gives me a questioning look.
"Yep, I do. " I then whisper in his ear "your still beautiful to me" leading him to roll his eyes fondly.
We all chuckle at that before he begins to getting to know them. My heart swells at the sight, I couldn't be any more proud of him because I know that it's difficult to put himself out there like thid and ignore everything he's grown up with believing. It doesn't matter though, even if he's only 17, he's built this life and mindset for himself which allows him to feel free and happy.
I didn't even know I was looking at him and smiling until I saw hermione shoot me a knowing look in the corner of my eye before I snapped out of it and taking a piece of my chicken from the plate to eat.
While he's talking to Ron and I am to hermione, In the corner of my eye, I see draco steal one of my chips with a knowing smirk.
"Oh! That's robbery" pausing my conversation with hermione. He just looks at me with false innocence
"I don't have the faintest idea of what you mean" the smirk staining his face.
"Don't use your fancy way of talking to act confused" I grumble.
He just laughs and turns to look at me "what hether does thou mean?"
I just roll my eyes but push my body closer to him.
My friends look at each other with the same look before turning to me, " were sorry for the initial reaction but we are genuinely happy for you harry. He seems to care about you and that's all we need. Draco, please take care of our harry"
Hermione tells us with her soft voice in comparison to the motherly one in mathematics.
Draco's expression turns a little more serious but not entirely so he is unrecognisable.
"'Mione, I will. I promise, he's safe with me. I love him."
My face softens immeasurably.
"Well good." Ron says before continuing his talk with draco. A few minutes later ;
"Hey, guys do you want to go outside? We have 10 minutes left" Earning an agreement from them all. Putting our rubbish in the bin, I follow my friends outside to a spot near the corner with benches. Ron and hermione are next to each other holding hands and talking about something I don't even take note of and I turn to draco a comfortable distance away from my friends but still close to them.
"Hey har" putting his arms around me as I move to hug him. I wrap my arms around his back hiding my face inbetween the part where his neck and shoulder meet.
"Hello" the sound muffled by my spot where I rest onto him.
Draco snakes his hands softly into my hair scratching and playing with It gently and swaying us at the same time, as a reply a tighten my arms for a little. Sighing in contentment, I feel the vibrations of his voicebox as he starts talking to my friends again. I turn my head around so it's rested on his shoulder occasionally joining in on the conversation until the bell rings.
I groan in annoyance "what do we have now?"
"Health and social" hermione reminds me. Oh, that's not too bad. It's easy and I get to sit next to draco anyway. I pull away from draco interlocking our hands.
"Don't pout" he says kissing it away.
He gives my hand a kiss before stroking his thumb in a gentle, comforting motion.
The smile never leaves my face.
