Harry
4: Harry
I all about run into the Ministry of Magic.
I am furious. I am livid.
How could they do that? How could they let the world treat him like that? How was he ok with it?!
I storm down to Kingsley Shacklbolt's office. Once I am inside, I slam the file down on his cherry wood desk. I don't have time for formalities.
"P-potter?" He sputters.
"Why the hell is this hidden?"
"What?"
I rip open the pages and slide my finger down to the article of truth.
"This is Draco Malfoy's file. Why is it hidden that he was a spy for the light side?"
Kingsley looks up at me.
"How did you get this file?"
I hear the panic in his voice.
"It doesn't fucking matter how I got the file. What matters is how you could dare hide this from all of us! Especially me!"
Kingsley looks pale.
"I…"
"You what, Kingsley? He's not some toy or pawn you can use and then put away for later! He's an actual human being with real feelings! This is sick Kingsley. So bloody sick. I had more faith in you than this!"
He has the audacity to look ashamed.
"Don't start with that ashamed bullshit Kingsley. I want you to find out where he is, then I want you to tell me where, and finally I want you to announce to the entirety of the wizarding that Draco Malfoy is innocent!"
"Well look here, Harry, I can't just meet your demands like this-"
"I'M HARRY BLOODY POTTER, AND YOU CAN MEET WHATEVER DEMANDS I ASK OF YOU."
"But Harry-"
"Listen Kingsley. You know I hate being 'Harry Potter'. You know I hate being the 'Chosen One'. But if being that means I can bring my full force down on you to do what I ask, them by Merlin I won't regret it one bit. Please Kingsley. I need you to do this."
He stares at me for a moment, and then sighs.
"Alright, Harry. But any blame will fall on you. "
"That’s more than fine with me."
I sit down, and let him do what he needs to do. Finally, he gives me an address in Muggle London.
I stand up and gather my stuff. Then I apparate to the address. It's a cute little house, and as soon as I see it, I know it's Draco's.
As I walk to the door and stand on the doormat, I realize I hadn't thought to wonder if he was even home.
I knock on the door, so softly I would be surprised if someone answered. I stepped back and looked around. There were flowers lined up neatly in little rows.
And then the door opened.
I came face to face with Draco Malfoy. The man I loved. The man I continued to love. The man I couldn't stop loving.
We looked at each other for a while. Just looked. And then I ran at him. He collapsed into me and I hugged him as tight as I could. As if my life depended on it. It did.
I pulled away and trailed kisses up and down his jaw. God how I had missed this.
I put my nose to his pale neck and breathed in his scent. Musky and mysterious. Still the same smell from all those years ago.
I put my lips to his neck again and sucked on the unmarked skin. He shook and pressed himself into me. After I had gotten my fill of him, the drug I had missed for so long, I pulled away.
I looked into his grey eyes and asked one question.
"Why?"
His eyes glassed over, and then big tears started falling from his eyes.
"I-"
"Why, Draco? I didn't want you to go. I knew you weren't evil. Even if you had been, I would have loved you anyway. But you pushed me away. You told me how you were an ex death eater. You told me how you were the reason for the deaths of so many of my friends. And then you ran away. I looked for you for so long. But I couldn't take it anymore Draco. I couldn't find you. You wouldn't let me."
Draco hugged me tighter.
"I know, Harry, I know. But I couldn't live with myself knowing what I done."
"Darling, you haven't done anything. You were a spy for the light side! Merlin, why did you leave? Don't you know how worried I've been?"
Draco pulled away and kissed me on the lips, long and sweet.
"Merlin, I've missed you Harry."
"I've missed you too, love."
He hugged me again, never letting go.
"Harry- I'm so sorry. So, so sorry."
"I forgive you darling. I forgive you a hundred times over.
His tears stained my shirt, but I couldn't care less. I had him in my arms.
After a few minutes I stood up and lifted him up with me.
"Come on, love. Let's go inside."
He nodded and let me lead him.
It was nice and quiet around the house. Nothing but the bare necessities, but it was homey.
"This is nice, Draco."
He smiled.
"I like it."
Draco went into the kitchen, and I followed. I watched him put water in the kettle, and admired him from afar.
He turned and stared at me.
"What?"
"You're so beautiful."
He blushed and looked down.
"Come here."
He walked over and stood in front of me. I was sitting down on a chair, and I stood up.
I kissed him again. But this time it was fast and passionate. He stepped back, obviously not expecting what I did. But in under 2 seconds he was on me again.
We were kissing, hungrily eating at each other. It had been so long.
I hoisted him up and slid him onto the counter. He giggled beneath my lips. Eventually, I trailed down to his neck again. I went over the mark I had left earlier, and enjoyed feeling him shiver against me.
I pulled his shirt off over his head, and continued. He slung his hands around my neck and pulled me closer. I leaned in to kiss him again, but before I could get very far, the kettle went off.
I yelled out a string of curses and went to turn it off. When I got back Draco was laughing, and holding his sides. He jumped down off the counter. I frowned and walked over to him.
"Drakeeee~"
He looked at me and smirked. Then he walked toward his bedroom.
"Are you coming?"
He closed the door, and I followed suit, laughing the entire way.
