Chapter 3
Draco and Harry woke up to someone barging into their room, "boys I swear to mer- Nope! TMI, my eyessss." Hermione whined, walking back out of the room, slamming the door in the process.
Draco had his head resting on Harry's bare chest, both having their arms wrapped around the other, the blanket only covering their waist down.
Draco chuckled slightly stretching as he sat up asking "what day is it today?"
"Saturday, I think." Harry yawned, grabbing his glasses and putting them on.
"Wanna go to Hogsmeade?" Draco suggested. Harry smiled at the request, "sure, but the others.." Harry trailed off a bit, "they can come if you want them to, Harry." Draco smiled softly. Harry smiled back, "we better hurry up and get dressed before Pansy comes in next." Harry remarked, Draco laughed and they both got out of bed, quickly getting dressed.
They walked out of their room and all eyes turned to them, Hermione and Pansy going red, "uhh- me and Draco were gonna head to Hogsmeade after breakfast if anyone wanted to join." Harry said, going a little red, "Hermione's fault for walking in without notice." Draco chuckled.
Blaize laughed, "fair enough, and sure, I'll join you at Hogsmeade."
"We're gonna head down to breakfast before we miss it," Draco said, everyone nodded, going back to what they were doing.
Harry linked his hand with Draco's as they walked, "you and your mum doing anything for Christmas?"
"Not that I know of, why?" Draco asked. "Just wondering if you'd like to come to the burrow for Christmas with the Weasleys." Harry shrugged.
"I would love to." Draco smiled, "alright, I'll tell Molly your coming," Harry smiled back.
They reached the great hall and eyes turned to them, "and we're back to this." Harry chuckled as they walked to their table, Draco giggled softly, "it'll be back to this when they find out too, so get used to it."
They sat down at their table and began eating some breakfast, "I think I want to change my name." Draco suddenly said, taking a bite of his toast, Harry looked at him raising an eyebrow for him to continue, "Potter," Draco said, almost hesitant.
"Malfoy." Harry chuckled rolling his eyes, "no, I'm saying I want to change my last name to Potter." Harry blushed, "oh."
Draco nodded, Harry started laughing, "I can picture it, you out in public and you order something saying your name is Potter and when it's called everyone going wild thinking it's me."
"I mean, I would." Draco laughed.
After breakfast the two met up with Ginny, Luna, Pansy, Blaize, Hermione and Ron in Hogsmeade, "ah, they finally come." Pansy smirked, "thought you'd be off snogging each other senseless."
"He wishes," Draco remarked, "you probably do too, Pans," Harry smacked Draco's arm playfully and he chuckled, putting his hands up in surrender.
"Alright, alright, let's go, meet in the hogsheads and hour?" Blaize asked. Everyone nodded and then split up into pairs, going wherever.
Harry linked his and Draco's hand, pulling them over to honeydukes, walking around the store, picking out random candies and putting them in the basket Harry was carrying.
When they bought all the candy Draco took a lollipop and stuck it in his mouth. Harry chuckled lightly, "you've got some sweet tooth." He said as they walked around, "that I do." Draco chuckled.
"Oh no, reporters." Harry frowned, "let's start heading to the hogshead then, we have to be there in 10 anyway." Draco suggested, Harry nodded and they both made their way to the hogshead.
When they walked in they saw Ron and Hermione sitting in the corner, walking over to them and sitting down, Harry sitting close enough to Draco to where their legs were touching.
"Alright, Harry?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow. Ron and Hermione looked over to Harry, who nodded, "just thinking," he chuckled lightly, as he fiddled with his ring.
"About what, mate?" Ron asked him. "Rita Skeeter," Harry said plainly. Hermione rolled her eyes at the name, "why about her?" She asked.
Harry shrugged, "just the field day she'd have when or if she finds out." Draco laughed, "fair enough." Hermione and Ron laughed a bit as well.
Pansy, Blaize, Ginny and Luna walked in and sat at the table with them. Everyone except Harry ordered a butter bear, quietly chatting amongst each other, Harry taking sips of Draco's butter bear here and there.
"Harry, why didn't you just get yourself a butter bear instead of drinking Draco's?" Pansy asked him.
"Because I know Draco never finishes his, he normally gives me the rest of his anyway." Harry shrugged, Draco hummed as he pushed his quarter full mug towards Harry, everyone laughing as he did.
Harry finished the rest of the butterbeer, putting the cup on the table as he rested his head on Draco's shoulder, fiddling with his ring yet again. He lifted his head slightly so he was now resting his chin on Draco's shoulder, "I love you." Harry whispered, a small smile on his face.
Draco, who was in the middle of a conversation with Pansy, smiled, turning his head slightly so he could look at Harry, "I love you too," he whispered back, linking their fingers together again.
Pansy let out a sigh, dramatically leaning into Blaize. "What is it, Pansy?" Draco asked unamused, as he looked back over to her, "I feel so lonely, everyone has someone but me." Pansy complained, "last time I checked, Blaize was still single." Draco remarked.
"And pinning over Longbottom." Pansy rolled her eyes, "seriously, you should've asked him to come with us, Blaize." Pansy groaned, Blaize rolled his eyes, "I'm not even sure he likes blokes."
"Then you'll be happy to hear that I know he does." Hermione butted in with a smile. Blaize blushed a bit, "we're so setting you up then." Pansy laughed.
Harry laughed, rolling his eyes slightly, bringing his and Draco's linked hands up to his lips, kissing Draco's hand.
"Harry, if you don't mind my asking, why are you just about always attached to Draco's hip?" Pansy suddenly asked.
Harry tensed slightly and Draco squeezed his hand, "I've just lost so many people and other than Hermione and Ron he's the only person that's actually stuck with me and been there for me for everything, in some way or another." Harry chuckled. "And I'm just scared that I'll lose him any minute." He explained quietly.
Pansy nodded, "that explains a lot actually." Ginny said, "I wish you both the best then, I can see how happy he makes you and I can only hope your happiness lasts forever with him." Draco blushed, using his free hand to cover his mouth in an attempt to hide his blush. Harry blushed as well, but simply smiled softly at Ginny.
Ginny noticed the ring on Draco's middle finger, "your ring.. what's it for?"
Draco looked at Harry, raising an eyebrow and Harry held up their connected hands, showing the ring on his middle finger as well, to Ginny.
Luna's eyes lit up, "congratulations." She said in her usual airy voice, "what, since when?" Ginny asked bewildered. "August 16th." Harry chuckled, "I have to tell mom about this, and George. They're gonna be so surprised!"
"I was actually gonna tell them at Christmas Ginny, seeing as the whole family's there, just tell everybody at the same time." Harry shrugged a bit, Ginny nodded, "alright. You should have it held at the burrow!" She suggested.
"I mean, I kinda wanted an outside one anyway." Draco shrugged, chuckling lightly, "I kinda wanna wear a flower crown." He said, out of the blue. "I think you would look lovely with a flower crown, Draco." Luna said dreamily, Pansy and Hermione agreeing with her.
"Why do you want a flower crown?" Ron asked, "his mum and him used to make them together when he was younger and he and his father would always wear them." Blaize giggled as he told them, "aww, that's cute, of course, you can wear a flower crown." Harry hugged him tightly, Draco smiled brightly.
"He knows how to style hair wickedly good, too." Pansy remarked, "father used to let me style his hair all the time, he always wore his hair the way I styled it to work and come home, looking like he did before he left." Draco smiled fondly at the memories.
"Aww," Hermione giggled, "that's adorable, Draco."
Draco blushed slightly, "we should probably get heading back now." Draco said, trying to pull the attention away from himself.
Pansy complained but everyone else nodded, gathering their things, paying for their drinks and exiting the place, going back to Hogwarts.
They walked into the common room and Draco sat on the armchair closest to the fireplace, Harry sitting on his lap. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry's waist as Harry buried his face in Draco's neck.
"Don't go snogging each other now." Pansy remarked sitting on a couch, Blaize sitting beside her. "I'm too tired for that right now." Harry yawned. "Whatever you say, Harry," Hermione giggled slightly.
Ron gagged slightly, Draco smiled amused. Harry yawned against Draco's neck, sending shivers down his spine.
Harry slowly fell asleep, "bloody hell he looks so peaceful, I don't remember the last time he looked that calm while sleeping." Ron whispered, bewildered. "Does he sleep through the night?" Hermione asked him. Draco nodded, "I don't even remember the last time he woke up to a nightmare while I was around." Draco said more to himself than anyone else.
"That explains why he's looked so well rested all year, when he was at the burrow for the last week before school started he couldn't sleep a wink because of his nightmares." Hermione said softly.
"I guess I've just got a special touch." Draco remarked. Pansy chuckled, "I'd say so."
"Merlin Pansy, you're so dirty." Draco groaned making Blaize laugh.
Draco rolled his eyes, standing up, carrying Harry bridal style, "good night." He nodded to the group, walking over to his dorm, walking in, using his foot to close the door, he walked over to the bed.
Putting Harry under the covers before getting under the covers himself, Harry cuddling closer to Draco, Draco slowly falling asleep himself.
