‘Thought’ “Talking”

Harry/Draco, M/M Warning.

Note: Voldomort is dead; Harry defeated him in his sixth year. All death eaters are in Azkaban and Draco’s only family is his mother and Severus his godfather. I know it has no Povs but it would just confuse me when I write and I know the characters are kind of out of character but I can’t help it this is my first Harry Potter story. By the way, it has come to my attention that I need a beta, so anyone that would like to go for it please just email me or message me.

Chapter 3:

Deep in concentration one Harry Potter walked into the Gryffindor common room, eyes not really seeing the room as he dropped into a hard back arm chair by the unusually lit fireplace. Hermione and Ron, being the ones to come back from the great hall, march over and place themselves in chairs beside his, putting their attention on him.

"Harry mate, where have you been? Ginny says you where fighting with that bloody ferret again" Ron motioned with his hands wildly as he said this. Hermione just listened for a reply, watching Harry with a slightly worried frown.

Harry was not sure what caused it but he felt a little bit bothered as Draco was referred to so rudely yet usually was one to join in on the name calling of the cold Slytherin prince. "Yes we did fight but there was nothing to it, besides I provoked him so let’s leave it at that".

At this he stood up, dismissing the conversation and seeming still distracted by something left the common room to go to his trunk. Walking through the room with several beds he went to his, kneeling down and opening the trunk to look inside reaching his hand in he felt around till he gave a noise of achievement and pulled out a brown book, heavy and worn. The cover was slightly torn and the title read "Wandless Magic for Beginners" Harry had purchased the book in knock turn alley after taking a potion he himself had made to change his appearance. A poly juice potion. The book had also been the last on the shelf, it was right in the back with a few other books people wouldn't bother looking at but he had found it. Settling himself on his Gryffindor coloured bed, his back against the head board and the book in his lap. Opening the book to the first page, he skimmed the contents, turning the pages without really reading it. Once he 'finished' the book he started from the beginning only to go all the way through again. This carried on for about half an hour before the bed dipped a little as a body sat upon it.

"You seem distracted Harry. Something wrong?" Neville Longbottom asked as he surveyed the other boy with worry. He had come in the common room to hear it ablaze with chattering about the young saviour's latest grump. He had of course never believed what he heard and always went to ask himself. Not even noticing the decidedly dangerous book in Harry's lap.

Lifting his gaze from the page Harry gave a slight nod to Neville before closing the book with a heavy sigh and setting it aside. "Well not exactly I just......well" Gripping at his hair in frustration and giving another sigh "Neville? Have you ever ....you know been attracted to a bloke?" Hesitating he waited for the reaction.

The other boys face reddened a bit in embarrassment before he gave a stuttered response "Y..yes I have Harry ....is that what's bothering you?" his face still red he picked at the fabric of the bedding. He was not at all disgusted that the raven haired boy way gay, not exactly being straight himself.

Harry gave a nervous laugh and smiled "In a way...yes but its more to do with the fact that I’m having some problems with the certain bloke I like" It became more and more easy to relax talking to the other boy, he knew he could trust him to keep his secret since Neville had never been one to turn his back on Harry, he had never portrayed him in a bad light or judged him for anything. He had always been there when Ron or Hermione where distrusting of him or arguing amongst themselves.

Neville's embarrassment almost vanished as he smiled kindly at the other "well then if there's a problem then you need to fix it right, maybe I can help" he got a thoughtful expression as he tried to think of possible problems Harry could be having.

Harry gave a chuckle and shook his head "it's nothing I cannot sort Nev, thanks anyway but why not let me help you. I noticed the way you looked at Blaise yesterday" he smirked slightly seeing Neville blush bright red and nod. "You won't tell anyone will you Harry? Imagine if Hermione and Ron found out..." He suddenly looked queasy and nervous but the saviour only gave a friendly smile. "Your secrets safe with me as long as it goes both ways" referring to his own secret which Neville nodded again and stood up.

"Yes of course Harry. Well I better be going down there before they barge their way in here" he waved to him, receiving a wave back before walking out the room into the common room and closing the door behind him.

Putting away the heavy book in his trunk and closing the lid he grabbed his night clothes to make his way to the bathroom. Coming out he made sure things where ready for the next day before sliding into his bed and pulling the sheets over himself knowing it was still early yet. 'I hope Draco's not too embarrassed; I bet he's mad though. the picture is going to be all over the place tomorrow and I can only imagine what his father will say to him when he finds out' sighing Harry turned over and closed his eyes 'it was so awkward that I could not even say good bye before he left. I'm sorry Draco, I will make it up to you' with these final thoughts he attempted to get to sleep, knowing that more dreams of the smaller boy would plague him tonight, although they were welcome.

--------------------------------------------------

At almost the same time that Harry had walked into the common room, Draco Malfoy was walking into his own. His face set in a blank expression but his eyes gave away his emotions if you knew what to look for. Walking straight past a squealing Pansy Parkinson and Crab and Goyle stuffing their faces at a small table he went to his dorm room. Pansy tried to come to the door but a dangerous glare from Draco and she went sulking to her own room. Blaise gave a sigh as the door to the boy’s dorms slammed and followed after him.

The blonde slytherine collapsed on green and sliver bed, giving a grumbled string of curses when he heard Blaise follow him in and sit on his own bed which just happened to be beside his on the right. Both where silent for a minutes before Blaise spoke up.

"Ok whets wrong with you?" he questioned the other but only received a small glare in return.

"I know something is wrong with you so spill it or I will get pansy in here to find out" his threat had the desired effect as Draco's eyes widened and he pouted "Oh all right then I'll tell you" He sat up and crossed his arms with a scowl.

"I'm dating Potter" he blurted it out before quickly looking in the opposite direction and waiting for a bout of laughter. Blaise blinked then tilted his head to the side "You mean Potter as in Saint Potter?" he asked.

The blonde glared at him a bit "No I mean the devil Potter.....who do you think I bloody well mean, yes saint Potter" he grumbled and turned his silver eyes to see Zambini smirking and frowned, something was either wrong with him or he had just won a bet. Draco was guessing the latter.

"What?" He was seriously confused as to how he dating Harry had anything to do with what Blaise was currently thinking.

Blaise laughed a bit "Yes! I knew it. You and Potter have been flirting long enough, it’s about time."

Draco all but fell out of his bed, giving a black eye to the other boy was considered flirting? "What!? What the devil are you suggesting Blaise? That I like Potty?" his face was a picture to be kept, his eyes wide and his mouth agape.

"Yes that's exactly what I'm implying Draco my friend. Besides you have to like him to be dating the bugger right" still smirking he waved his hand around a bit "come on Draco you would be bonkers not to like him he is gorgeous" Now this is where you would think 'oh another friend confessing gayness at the same time' buts it’s not, Draco already knew Blaise was gay so this didn't bother him like it should, till he registered what he had said again and felt some kind of sadness. He thought Harry was good looking. He suddenly felt like Harry didn't want him anymore and was leaving him for Blaise. 'Merlin knows where that came from' Draco thought as the feeling passed and his sadness vanished to be back to his shock and awe look. He must have some sort of fever, maybe he really should go to the hospital wing. Blaise and Draco continued their banter for a better part of an hour and finally came to the conclusion that it was fine for them to date and he would keep the secret as long as Draco kept his secret about his feelings for a certain Longbottom coincidently.

(Dream)

Harry opened his eyes to find himself standing in the middle of a grey fog. Glancing around him he could not see anything for think fog and mist. He decided the best course of action was to see if anyone was there so he called out "Hello?" waiting for a few second he then called out again "Anyone there?" Still not receiving an answer he began to walk forward. Although it was kind of pointless he looked around him as he walked just in case anything came into view.

'This better not be another attempt to kill because I have had enough of dark wizards after my blood' Harry thought just as he heard a noise. The noise was kind of like shuffling on the ground. He stopped and called out yet again "Is someone there?" There was no answer. He was beginning to get really annoyed with this. Moving forward again towards where he heard the noise from he was surprised at what he found.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------

Draco awoke to find himself on the ground, surrounded by grey thin fog and not in his room. "Where in merlins name....?" he tried to think of the last think he could remember that would show him why he was currently not where he should be and came up short. He shuffled around to stand up and looked around him. Seeing that he was alone or so he thought he hugged his arms around himself. Although he did not want to admit it, he was afraid. Although he was the ice prince of slytherine and supposed to be strong that did not mean he was fearless. Everyone has their fears and Draco's was being alone in an unknown place. It reminded him of when he was a child and would go to his father’s parties only to end up in a corner on his own.

He was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of someone walking, coming closer to where he stood through the fog. Getting panicked the slytherine backed up a bit, keeping wide eyes on the area of mist that the other was coming from. A black shadow became visible, the outline seeming familiar to him but he could not think why. The figure came closer and closer until the boy could make out some of the others features and almost fainted in relief.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------

Harry blinked at what he saw, shocked into standing still about a metre away from the other. His eyes glanced over the others face seeing a few last traces of fear vanish and his features relaxing a bit 'Why was he scared? And of what? Surely not of me...' he thought but that was interrupted when someone threw themselves at him, burying their face in his neck and wrapping their arms around his torso. Looking down too see slightly ruffled blonde hair he smiled a bit and moved his own arms to wrap around Draco's back. "Hello to you too....."

Draco breathed in Harry's sent, thinking about how it relaxed him so quickly, so easily where as everyone else would have failed before a thought hit him and he pulled back a bit only to whack the Gryffindors arm hard "What did you do now? Where are we Potter?" no longer scared...more....agitated.

The raven haired boy rubbed his arm a bit in mock pain and then frowned "I don't know Draco, I thought maybe you would know." he paused to take in the others state of dress in Grey, silk pyjamas, his hand rubbing up Draco's back "although I'm not exactly worried since I am with you".

He gave a sly grin to which Draco gave an annoyed groan "of all the times for you to be a horny teenager you choose now when we haven't the foggiest idea where we are. We could be in a dark realm of evil wizard eating goblins for all you know and all you can think of doing is getting into my pants" he yanked Harry's hands away from the waist band to his pyjama trousers and crossed his arms with a exaggerated huff.

Harry just gave a smug grin and leaned down a bit where he then placed a kiss on the irritated blondes cheek, said person blushed a bit before unfolding his arms with a sigh "Fine Potter I forgive you but just....keep your hands out of my trousers" he gave a warning glare then a small eep as the raven haired boy pulled him to his chest as he now had a habit of doing, arms wrapped around his waist and nuzzles his neck. Harry then blinked a bit confused "Wizard eating goblins?" he questioned, Draco tensed and whined "Oh Shush! Forget I said anything" he flustered at hearing the other wizard laugh softly, though enjoying hearing him happy, there was a time where you would never have expected the saviour to laugh again.

Draco actually smiled at this and closed his silver, grey eyes only to give a purr and open them again with a bright red blush spread over his cheeks. Harry gave a slight groan and both of them stood still in each other’s arms quietly for a while until the blonde looked up at the other "Harry, something is defiantly going on. We’re not ourselves, well I’m not, and you I can't say for sure".

Ignoring the comment in favour of answering the difficult question he sighed, "I don't know but as soon as we get back I'm going to the library to read up on this whole thing, we shouldn't be this......close so soon" Draco's reply was a nod as they both looked around the foggy scene "But how in Merlin do we get -out- of ....here?" his hand gesturing around them pointedly.
