Draco and Harry may have been enemies throughout years one through six, but year seven changed everything. They started spending more time together and less time avoiding each other. Which led them to taking a impromptu road trip around the UK to see the sights and such. The boys quickly realized that they would have to go back to their sad, boring lives. Harry having to save the world from Voldemort; and Draco dealing with his unloving parents. They decided that even if they are driving back home, they have to enjoy it.
While walking out to Draco’s minivan, Harry starts laughing his arse off. Draco says, “Yeah laugh all you want, but this got us around the UK. If you don’t want her to leave us stranded on the side of a road, you better stop laughing.” Harry looks up at Draco with flushed cheeks from laughing so much and says, “Fine, but I’m driving and I don’t want to hear any complaints.” Draco whines, “Potter-“ Harry interrupts, “I thought we were past this, don’t call me Potter.” Draco replies, “Fine, Harry why can’t I drive! I am so much better than you!” Harry replies with ease, “You know how to pick the best sights to look at, so while I’m focusing on the road, you can look for sights to stop at.”
Draco nods slowly with understanding and then smiles that bright smile that has been giving Harry butterflies all summer. Harry didn’t know he had a crush on Draco until he took this road trip with him and he never thought that he would get so whipped to this bloke. They both get in the minivan and Harry starts driving while Draco figures out music and a beautiful view.
Harry should be used to Draco’s playlist by now, but he just can’t get over how sad it is. He wants to start crying just from the playlist. Harry expresses this, “Draco I don’t really think this playlist is something for a road trip.” Draco whips his head from where he was throughly searching for a beautiful view to look at Harry with such disgust that he looks like he might throw up. Draco in a low, gravely voice, “My playlist is perfect thank you very much you bloody git.” Harry keeps in mind to never talk about Draco’s music again. Draco gasps and Harry almost slams on the brakes because he scared the living shit out of him, but before he can Draco whispers, “Look at it. It’s beautiful! We have to pull over and relax for a little bit.” Harry looks and he is stunned by how gorgeous the view is, so he pulls over and gets out of the van.
When Harry gets out of the car, he feels the breeze from how high they are on the mountain side and how close they are to a body of water. He feels the grass tickle his feet as he walks to the side of the cliff that overlooks the sea below them. Draco walks next too Harry and they sit in a comfortable silence. Draco looks to the horizon that is filled with different hues of oranges and pinks. The sea is clear and shines in light that is emitted form the sun. Harry breaks the silence and in a hoarse voice he whispers, “I told you that you were so much better at finding these things than I am. This is beautiful Draco.” Draco just nods and smiles at Harry.
Harry hears a song starting to play from the van that he never turned off.
‘And there’s a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear’.
He slides next to Draco and says, “May we have this dance?” Draco looks over, only to blush and look away and mumbles, “To this song?” Harry is lucky to have good hearing and whispers back, “Yeah, now come and dance with me.” Draco slowly looks back at Harry and nods. Harry puts one hand on Draco’s waist and one hand holding Draco’s hand to his chest. Draco nervously puts his hand on Harry’s shoulder and starts to sway to the music.
‘ I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, but I want ‘em all’.
Draco’s eyes slide up to meet Harry’s smiling gaze and sends a small smile back. Harry teases gently and says, “I thought all of your songs were sad?” Draco let’s out a quiet laugh and says, “I can be a romantic if I want to.” Realizing what he just said Draco puts his head into Harry’s shoulder and stays there.
‘I take this magnetic force of a man to be my, lover’.
This makes them both stop swaying and make eye contact before blushing and stepping away from each other. Draco starts mumbling to himself and Harry stands there wide-eyed because Draco might like him back.
Harry walks up to Draco and takes his hand to give it a gentle squeeze. It was all the reassurance Draco needed to know that it was okay. Draco says meekly, “I have something to say. I have liked you for a long time and I’m sorry if I did anything when we danced that made you uncomfortable or made you-“ Harry cups Draco’s face and makes Draco look at him. Draco then notices that there hands and are still being held together so that gives him courage to listen to Harry. In a breathy voice Harry says, “I was really hoping you were going to say that. I really like you too. You are the best person for me and I am so happy that we took this trip.”
Draco starts crying from happiness and relief that Harry returns his feelings. Harry scoops Draco up into a big hug that makes Draco so safe that he just sags into Harry’s body. Harry gently says, “Could I kiss the living daylights out of you now?” Draco rolls his eyes, but blushes and nods his head yes. Harry doesn’t waste anytime and swoops in to catch Draco’s lips with his own.
The music still playing in the background, ‘And ah, take me out, and take me home’.
Harry kisses Draco with such gentleness that makes him get butterflies. Draco kisses back with such ease that you would think that they were made perfectly for each other. Harry gives Draco one more quick kiss before he starts peppering Draco’s face with a bunch of kisses. Draco starts laughing and tickles Harry back, which ends with both of them having pink cheeks and splayed hair on the grass. Harry looks to Draco that is beside him and says, “Let’s never forget this moment.” Draco could never forget this perfect moment that he had with Harry. The beautiful view and their magical kiss will forever be in his mind. Draco in a soft-spoken voice says, “Harry will you be my boyfriend?” Harry smiles so brightly that it outshines the sun and says, “Of course you bloody git!” Draco teases Harry and says, “We need to thank Taylor Swift for getting us together!” They both start belly-laughing at that and look at the view for a little while longer, but this time they are holding hands.
Harry and Draco get back into their van, but not without taking many more pictures that they will definitely make an album with and start heading back to Hogwarts. The way back was much more comfortable and Harry rubbed his thumb on Draco’s palm the whole ride home. When they got back to Hogwarts, nobody questioned Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy’s relationship because they all expected it from the way the two were acting around each other even before the whole road trip around the UK.
