How Draco Malfoy Fell For The Boy Who Lived (OR +1 Time They Kissed Each Other)
He reunited with Harry when he was 27, two years after Astoria’s death.
It was just a few days after he had turned 27, and Narcissa had told him, her hands brushing against his cheek, “Twenty-seven is a magical age,”
Draco and Harry had met for the first time since the war when Harry was looking for a Cursebreaker for his house, and of course, Draco had been recommended. Draco’s career had been flourishing, as there was hundreds of dark houses scattered around London, all set by Death Eaters.
Well! Wasn’t it just sweet that how fate would backstab Draco?
Just when he thought his life would settle down, the golden boy just had to reappear in his life.
Since Draco was oh-so generous, he accepted Harry’s offer and started work in his house.
Unfortunately, instead of leaving Draco alone to work in silence, Harry kept pestering him, and soon enough, he had been persuaded. He had fallen in love.
Their first ‘date’ involved Indian takeout in the dining room.
Wouldn’t his father choke to death if he ever saw Draco holding hands with Harry?

Their first kiss, almost a year after Grimmauld Place had been completed, took place on a cold, windy street. It was Draco’s 28th year, and Harry had taken him out to dinner as a birthday gift.
Afterwards, they stood outside, and Draco watched the wind that left Harry’s cheeks and nose bright pink, and the snowflakes that melted in his hair.
It was under a warm street lamp when Draco took Harry’s chin in his hands and leaned in. It was the best birthday gift he had ever gotten.
Kissing Harry felt like a sugar rush. They were always passionate and sweet no matter how long it lasted, and always left Draco wanting for more.
They tasted like peppermint and chocolate, two things that shouldn’t have tasted too good together, but somehow, it worked for Draco.
No matter how chapped Harry’s lips were, they would always feel soft to Draco.
Draco kissed Harry all the time, whenever he felt an urge to, and Harry always kissed back just as eagerly.
Draco felt that he could have spent all of eternity with Harry and never get bored.
Whenever they would together, Harry would trace lines on Draco’s palm while Draco played with Harry’s rat-nest of a hair.
It just felt right whenever they touched, a burst of warmth and certainty bound into it.
It was when Draco was 30, two years after their first kiss, when Harry kneels on the ground and pulls out a ring.
It’s the most beautiful thing Draco has ever seen, and he slides it on his ring finger before kissing Harry’s lips over and over.
After waiting for 11 years, he had finally found the love of his life, and two years after that, secured a future with him.
”I love you,” He tells Harry every day, to make sure he never forgets that.
Him.
Harry Potter.
Savior of the wizardry world.
Draco Malfoy’s husband.
What a sugar rush.
