Three days after Draco Malfoy had punched Terry Boot in the nose, Harry bolted into the Slytherin Common Room.

He shot into the lap of the nearest Slytherin,straddling their lap, only realizing a few moments later that it was Draco.

"Wh-"

"Sh!" Harry hissed. "Please, please go with this, just for five minutes."

"Go with what?" Draco asked in complete confusion.

"Do you know where Harry is?" Every Slytherin heard Ginny Weasley's voice and instantly knew what was happening.

Everyone in the school, except Ginny, knew Harry didn't like her that way. But Ginny couldn't take a hint, and Harry was too nice to tell her bluntly.

"Uh.. He went in the Slytherin dungeons a few minutes ago."

For the purpose of this one shot, all the eighth years know the passwords to each Common room.

They heard Ginny speak the password, and the door started to open.

Harry's desperate eyes turned to Draco.

"I'm really sorry about this."

"About wh-"

Harry slammed his lips against Draco's. The taller boy jumped slightly in surprise, but, upon hearing Ginny rushing down the stairs, he tangled his fingers through Harry's hair and pulled him closer.

"Harry, are you- Harry?!"

Harry broke away from his kiss, breathless. Draco looked stunned.

"Thank you," Pansy said, rolling her eyes from the couch. Harry had forgotten about the other Slytherins. "They've been going at it for what feels like hours."

Harry shot Pansy a quick grateful look, and she shot him a quick friendly wink.

"Not hours," Draco says, snapping out of his daze to play along. "Just a few minutes."

"So far," Blaise calmly says, perfect actor as always.

"You're gay?!" Ginny says in disbelief. "For Draco?"

Harry shoots her an apologetic look from his position straddling Draco's lap, which the other boy doesn't seem to mind at all, or he was just a really good actor.

"Yeah, Gin. Sorry I didn't tell you. We're keeping our relationship a secret. Could you.. not tell anyone? Please?"

She nodded quickly. "Yeah. Of course. Sorry I kept pursuing you. I didn't realize."

She went back up the stairs.

Harry relaxed. "Thanks Pansy, Blaise." He turned to Draco, an apologetic look on his face as he slid off his lap. "Sorry I attacked you."

Draco leaned back, a lazy grin on his face. "Don't be. You made my afternoon interesting."

Harry blushed and rushed up the stairs.

********

"Draco!" Harry rushed down the hall breathlessly.

Draco raised a single blonde eyebrow at the black-haired boy. "Yes?"

"I just- I never got to thank you. For standing up for me to Boot."

Draco looked surprised. "Of course, Harry."

Harry smiled, and started to walk away when a voice rang out through the corridor.

"Harryyyyy!" Are you down here?"

Harry froze, his face drained of color at Parvati's voice.

"Shit," he whispered. He couldn't run, he didn't have time.

Draco took one look at his face, picked him up, and slammed him up against the wall, kissing him. Harry wrapped his legs around his waist and loosely draped his arms around his neck, kissing him back as Parvati rounded the corner.

"Harry?"

Draco broke off the kiss, turning to Parvati. "We were a bit busy, Patil," he says, annoyance seeping into his voice.

Her eyes were glued to Harry's. "You're gay?" she says in disbelief.

He nodded shyly, tightening his grip around Draco's neck.

"But it's-" Draco let go of Harry with one hand, bringing a finger to his lips, insinuating that it was a secret.  "So could you not, like-"

"Of course!" Parvati giggled, delighted to be part of a secret. "I'll stay quiet."

Draco nodded calmly, before returning to his intense kiss with Harry. Parvati quickly scurried off.

The second Draco was sure she was gone, he pulled away and gently stood Harry back up. "Sorry I slammed you against the wall like that. Are you okay?"

Harry's eyes were glazed, before they snapped back to him. "Hm?"

Draco smirked. "Did you enjoy that?"

Harry stuttered and turned a dark red.

Draco grinned, enjoying himself. "Ginny and Parvati are the prettiest girls in our year, by far. And yet... You don't seem interested."

Harry blushed even darker.

"Haaarrryy," Draco singsonged softly. "Are you gay?"

"Maybe," he whispered.

"How interesting," Draco whispered, before walking away, leaving a stunned Harry in the corridor.

*********

Lavender leaned closer as Harry leaned back.

"Harry," she whispered softly. "Please kiss me. You know you'll enjoy it."

Harry was breathing hard. He really didn't want to kiss her.

"He can't," a smooth voice replies for him. A slim arm wraps around his waist. "That would be cheating."

Harry breaths in sharply, before turn in his head to look up at his blonde saviour.

"Hey Drake," he said softly, pressing a chaste kiss against the blonde's lips.

"You and-" Lavender looked stunned.

Draco just grinned as the girl rushed off.

"You didn't tell her to keep quiet," Harry said.

Draco just grinned and shrugged.

*******

"Hermione, Ron, I've got to tell you something," Harry said nervously.

"Lemme guess," Ron said calmly. "You realized being a dude is shit and you wanna go back."

Harry shook his head, laughing. "No. Actually I'm gay."

Hermione squealed. Ron just nodded.

"Well, it's always something with you. Even when Voldemort's dead you're still full of surprises. Whatever, I'm cool with it," he said.

Hermione looked ready to squeeze the life out of him again, so Ron held onto her arm.

Harry tilted his head slightly to the left, closing his eyes.

"For Draco," he finished.

When he didn't hear anything, he opened his eyes.

Ron looked surprised, but relaxed. "Well, you two have always had that stupid sexual tension," he said casually.

"How do you know?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"Besides the fact that we've made out all over the castle?" Ron squealed and fell off his chair. "Um, probably because he asked me out yesterday and I said yes."

An audible crash was heard as Seamus, who was eavesdropping, fell onto the floor in surprise.
