Heir To The Throne Ch 11 Dates Part II Draco Harry groaned a little flinging things everywhere from what he and Blaise had bought yesterday trying to find the perfect outfit. It had to be perfect! Why? Because Blaise had said so. He'd even offered to come help harry make himself magnificent but harry had declined. That was what friends did, not courtiers... he paused for a moment, startled as he realized that. Already there was a large gap between how he felt about Blaise and how he felt about Draco and Tom... was Blaise doomed to be only a friend before the race even began? He didn't know. He groaned a little and Gordric chuckled watching him from the portrait again. Wear the tight black jeans and the tight black shirt with the green flames up the sleeves. he suggested and Harry paused grabbing the desired outfit and nodding. It would do perfectly. He pulled them on and examined himself closely in the mirror and smirked a little to himself and nodded. Yes, this is perfect. harry decided. Thanks Gordric. he said beaming at the Gryffindor who chuckled a little and shook his head. Put on some of that eyeliner Harry! Tot squeaked and Harry hesitated, he wasn't exactly sure how it went on, he would have asked Hermione for help but he was very certain she wouldn't speak to him if he tried. Well, that was alright it was time for breakfast anyway. Draco had asked for a lunch date as well, and had even gotten very special permission from Dumbledore to go somewhere other than Hogsmead. Where? Draco hadn't told harry yet. It was making Harry very nervous as he headed down the stairs everyone turning to gape at him as he walked past. He didn't notice this as he picked at his clothes, feeling very self conscious. He'd changed his look so much, what if Draco didn't like him anymore? Or Tom? Or Blaise!? What if they all hated him now that he looked so different!? He didn't notice as Colin Creevy took a picture of the new Harry a bright blush on his cheeks Harry swept into the Dining hall and everyone turned to stare at him for a long silent moment as Harry loaded his plate up with food and started scarfing it down humming brightly as he contemplated his date with Draco- who was still gaping at Harry with fire in his eyes. Harry. Neville hissed softly to him from across the table. Hermione and Ron are coming, you better be careful. Their very unhappy with you. he murmured. Hermione seems to think it's wrong for men to be with men, Ron just doesn't like who your going out with. Dean admitted as he leaned over. Harry snorted a little before he admitted stuffing his face as Ron and Hermione walked over,I know, I saw this coming.He said taking another bite of food as his friends neared,Sorry, looks like I'm about to be dragged off. Hey Nev, don't forget about Monday. he reminded the other and the quiet boy nodded and ducked his head as Hermione and Ron arrived at the table with scowls on their faces. In private. Harry ordered as he stood, heading away from them, taking his plate with him stuffing his mouth still as Dumbledore's sharp eyes watched them leave the hall. Lemme guess. Harry stated leaning against a wall setting his plate down and wiped his mouth. Oh Harry. he stated mimicking Hermione's voice. How could you date a man!? That's just not DONE! Guess what Hermione, it is done, often in both wizarding and muggle society. Deal with it. he turned to Ron. Your even more simple. Harry what the hell is wrong with you!? Blaise Zabini!? He's a SLYTHERIN! They're 'not the right sort'. Guess what Ron, I'm going out with Draco Malfoy today too. He the right sort? he demanded smirking a little as they gaped at him. B..But.. Hermione tried to stutter and Harry shook his head. No, you listen to me. harry ordered. I like them, a lot. They're very close to me and I enjoy their company a great deal. You're my friends, you've always been my friends but I AM gay, and I AM dating Slytherin's. he stated simply and they stared at him. Harry... they have you under a spell.. something! Ron protested. They're with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named! They'll betray you! Draco and Blaise are NOT with Voldemort Ron. he stated rolling his eyes. I questioned them with Veritiseriam myself. he stated simply looking amused. It was a lie but they didn't know that. He was also not going to tell them where he'd gotten the Veritisarium either. Well he knew they'd assume Snape but they wouldn't dare ask the man. But..but they're GITS! Ron protested Hermione pale and shaking as she tried to get over the fact that harry was not only gay,but also open and proud of it for that matter! No, Draco's changed. He stated simply. He's calmer, quieter. More serious. He's grown up. I've grown up. You and Hermione? You haven't grown up. Your still innocent and peaceful. I'm not, Draco's not. Blaise is not. ,Tom is not...he added to himself, I can relate to them much more than I can relate to you. he admitted shaking his head. I'm sorry guys, but that's the way it is. he stated simply turning and leaving two very stunned Gryffindor's behind. That was very impressive Harry. Draco teased softly smiling a little as he tugged gently on the others hair. I love what you've done with yourself, Blaise bragged all of breakfast that he was the one that got to help. he admitted grinning a little chuckling as Harry flushed brightly. yea he might have talked me into doing a few dozen things. he admitted rubbing the back of his head a little, embarrassed and slightly afraid until Draco chuckled and took Harry's hand lifting it and gently kissing the back of it, making Harry's face flare bright red. Harry you look amazing. he murmured with a small grin. Utterly dashing, I am glad Blaise got his hands on you. No offense potter but while you where cute before dressed in clothes too big for you with your hair everywhere, you had very little fashion sense. he admitted smirking a little. Now your positively hot! harry could only stand there and stare at Draco for a long, long moment before he managed a squeak. Hot!? He was hot!? Well that was definitely a bonus, and for some reason he didn't feel insulted by Draco's words, well, he knew they where true and not meant to hurt, maybe that was why? Either way he was VERY glad that Blaise had talked him into new clothes, new hair, and no glasses. Very very glad indeed. So how did your Date with Blaise go? Draco asked smiling a little and Harry blushed again. It went well. I talked him into taking me to Muggle London. he admitted. he really enjoyed the pizza, even if he didn't eat much. he admitted shaking his head and Draco nodded. Blaise doesn't eat much in the first place. he admitted shaking his head. Rarely at all even, the rest of the Slytherin's just assume he gets his food in the privacy of the kitchen or in his room. he admitted and Harry chuckled a little,smiling slightly when the blond held out his hand. Giving into the want to hold his hand, he tangled their fingers together. So where are we going today then? he asked hesitantly and Draco laughed a little. Can't tell you. he teased smirking a little. It's a surprise. even Harry's pout would not sway Draco as they moved down the hall to the entrance only to be cut off by Neville. Sorry Draco, I don't mean to interrupt but I have to talk to Harry. It's a bit of an emergency. he admitted pale and shaking. Harry, Ron and Hermione are convincing the entire Gryffindor house that you've been be-spelled. They're going to attack Blaise and Draco! he stated simply and Draco blinked and sighed. Their going to have a lot of trouble if they try to take on Blaise. Not even Hermione, not even Harry could take on Blaise. he assured Neville and Harry alike who seamed to sigh in relief. I thought I had better warn you is all. Neville admitted shaking his head. oh and Draco? he asked making sure he had the Slytherin's undivided attention. you try to hurt harry in any way? And I'll kill you. he stated simply Draco's mouth falling open in shock as Neville wandered off Harry laughing at Draco's face watching Neville run off to warn Blaise as well. Aah Neville, your so sweet. Harry murmured softly a small smirk on his face. C'mon Draco, lets go. he said smiling. I want to see where your taking me already! Was he serious!? Draco asked smiling a little. That's so... Gryffindor of him. he admitted chuckling as he led harry down to the dungeons and into Snape's office, who was working on yet another potion. Hurry up and leave. Snape ordered. This is a very delicate potion, and I don't want either of you messing it up. he snapped, making Draco snicker as he dipped his hand into the floo powder. Ready Harry? he asked grinning and Harry swallowed nervously watching Draco peel off his wizards robes, revealing...very common muggle attire, tight blue jeans and a silver gray shirt that clung to his slender but well muscled frame. No. Harry admitted staring at Draco wide eyed as the boy laughed and tossed the powder into the fireplace. Goyle Estate! he ordered gently pushing Harry in and then following right after wincing a little as he spotted harry on the floor, having tripped over a fire grate, Goyle Senior bowing to them with an annoyed expression. They traded tense pleasantries and Draco brushed Harry off and then himself, getting them completely free of dust and dirt before heading out the door and into a Muggle car that was waiting for them. By that time harry was practically dizzy with anticipation but the windows where tinted so that Harry couldn't see out them. 'so he wouldn't cheat, and sneak a peak.' or so Draco claimed anyway. Finally they stopped and stepped out and harry had to stare,they had come, to a muggle amusement park, people screaming as they rode rides, laughing as they watched the shows that where being put on and yelling as they played the games. D..Draco I... I remembered how you told me your awful Muggle relatives used to leave you at home while they went to the parks and shows. he admitted. I.. I thought maybe this could help make up for your bad past.' he admitted smiling and Harry felt the sudden urge to cry. No one had ever been so...so thoughtful before. He reached around and wrapped his arms tightly around the startled slytherin, hugging him tightly. You just wanna watch me scream like a girl on the rides. Harry protested, trying to hide the tears that wanted to spill out. Draco laughed and nodded in agreement gently patting Harry's back. Guiding him inside the gates laughing a little as Harry demanded Draco win him a stuffed dragon and then a stuffed snake. Draco had to admit, he was better at the games than harry was. It looks JUST like you! he stated laughing as he gently bopped Draco on the arm with the silver dragon that Draco had won for him and the slytherin laughed a little and started dragging Harry to the Ferris wheel grinning brightly. Come on harry, lets get up HIGH! he stated and Harry laughed as he was dragged onto the Ferris wheel without protest watching as the world got smaller and smaller as they went higher and higher and then with a sick sounding screech, then a crunch, and Draco's startled yell the ride fell still. I know I know, it's a cliche. But it's a cliche that WORKS! Whats going on!? Draco demanded looking around wide eyed as he tried to figure out what had happened. Ride broke. Harry explained snickering a little. Don't worry they'll get it fixed soon. he promised watching Draco, feeling rather puzzled. Draco was clutching the bar so tight his fingers where turning white and he was pale, well more than usual anyway. His eyes where clenched shut tight and a line of sweat trickled from his forehead. Draco?... Are you alright? harry asked gently setting his hand on Draco's watching the Slytherin swallow thickly. I'm going to be honest with you, in saying that I am completely terrified right now. the blond admitted trembling slightly in the ride and Harry gaped at the other for a long moment. Draco your a wizard, if anything happens we can just use Leviatus or something. he murmured his head tilted. Where is your wand anyway? At the castle. Draco informed him through gritted teeth and Harry gaped at him for a long moment and before he could stop himself he was pulling Draco over and holding him tightly. It's alright Dragon, I wont let anything happen to you. he promised softly gently running his fingers through Draco's hair who shuddered. I don't need comfort potter. Draco hissed and Harry smirked a little. He knew Draco was just reacting to his fear and the shame of being afraid, he wouldn't take insult to it. Well, not right away. Well your getting it anyway Malfoy. he spat back making the blond wince a little and relax into Harry's arms. Sorry... I didn't mean to snap at you like that. I was just... I know. harry promised gently rubbing Draco's back as a fire truck arrived at the broken ride. Here, watch the fire truck Draco. I think you'll enjoy it. he admitted smiling a little as Draco hesitated and looked down at the firemen, who where slowly lifting the electronic ladder up to them. It grows! Draco hissed eyes wide with awe and Harry snickered a little nodding as they watched the firemen lift out a bunch of kids before coming to them. Harry gently helped Draco out of the ride and followed after smiling a little as he took Draco's hand. Looks like we wont be riding the tall rides anymore. harry murmured with a small laugh. You gonna be alright? he asked hesitantly brushing Draco's hair out of his eyes. No I am not ALRIGHT! Draco burst out, outraged. today was supposed to be PERFECT! I was supposed to take you on all the fun rides and you where supposed to have a GREAT time and it all went WRONG! Draco complained flopping down onto a bench to sulk and before Harry could stop himself he was laughing at the poor Dragon. Oh Draco, I AM having a great time!Even if the ride hadn't broken down something else would have happened, because it always does. Personally I'm glad it was just a stuck ride, and not something more serious. Harry admitted sighing softly taking Draco's hand in his own. Things aren't supposed to go exactly as planned, that's what makes the journey so fun. Yes... your right. Draco agreed laughing as he got to his feet gently tugging harry to his as well. lets go on a spinney ride instead! he decided grinning and Harry laughed following after the newly invigorated Draco, clutching the Dragon to him feeling his stomach fluttering with glee at having talked Draco back together. As annoyed as he was, about being everyone's hero all the time, he always felt so.. good after he helped someone, and Draco was no exception. The only difference was, that Draco hadn't fawned all over him and begged for help, and better yet he didn't seam to realize Harry's hero complex had just gone overdrive. They spent the rest of the day in circles, literally. Running from one ride to another, stopping only for food, a show, or a fun game that Harry demanded Draco win for him. All in all, harry had an amazing time, as he had to guiltily admit, he liked Draco, a lot more than Blaise. And it wasn't just the dates either. They went back to the castle breathless with laughter and laden down with stuffed toys that Harry shoved onto Draco, save for the dragon. Harry was keeping that one. The night was spent with Draco and Blaise, talking about nonsense in the kitchen over warm butterbeers. It had been, in Harry's opinion, the greatest day of his life.
