Draco's pov:

"Do I leave? Do I talk to him? Do either of you know what the bloody hell just happened?!" I was in a panic, Harry kissed me. He kissed ME. Harry Potter put his lips on mine. Harry Potter.

"Draco, give me a minute I'll handle this!" Sirius said but Remus immediately stopped him. "Absolutely not, you wait here with Draco and I will go talk to him!" I chuckled as Remus walked away and Sirius stood there gaping. "Can you believe him? Like really? I am great at advice! If prongs were here he'd let me go talk to him!"

"With all do respect Sirius, if James were here Harry probably would be doing anything but kissing me." Sirius laughed at this and I smiled. I liked being around these people, but I couldn't get Harry's lips off my mind long enough to appreciate it.

Harry's pov:

I paced. Back and forth, side to side. I paced. I just kissed Draco Malfoy. On the mouth. Then ran away. Bloody hell what was I thinking?! I gave him a whole speech about giving me time, and then I kissed him. In front of Sirius and Remus.

Knock knock knock.

Nope absolutely not. Nope nope nope. I will jump out of my window- knock knock knock.

"Y-yes? Who is it?" Remus walked in. Fuck. "Language Harry." Didn't mean to say that out loud. I was pacing still, until Remus rudely stopped me. "I am pacing through the panic Remus!" He chuckled, pushing me down on my bed. He crouched in front of me.

"I'm proud of you." I looked at him like he was mad, "are you bloody mad?! Proud of me for what kissing the bloke I have feelings for and then running away like a coward?! Gryffindor my arse."

He chuckled again. "I don't see what's funny about this Remus Lupin. My life, is over." He rolled his eyes laughing harder, "First, when did you inherit padfoots over dramatics. Second, Harry when have you ever been allowed to be truly happy? Kissing the person you like takes balls, your dad took way longer to make a move on your mum. My point is, I'm proud of you for letting yourself have healthy emotions. It's okay to panic, but don't run away. I'm going back downstairs, and I'm sending Draco up. You will talk to him."

I gulped, nodding slowly. There was no point in arguing, he was right. He patted my head and headed downstairs. I heard him yell at padfoot, and then I heard whispers and I panicked.

What if Draco didn't want to talk? What if I scared him away? What if he realized he doesn't like me-

"Potter..?" Oh shit he's here. Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic. "I'm sorry I kissed you!" Great, way to be subtle Harry. "Harry. That's nothing to apologize for." He walked over sitting next to me, we turned so we were facing each other. "You don't have to apologize, and you don't have to think that a kiss is going to scare me away."

"I feel bloody awful, I talk to you about giving me time and then I turn around and do that. I'm not sure what went on in my head, thinking that was okay." Draco just chuckled, and pulled me in for a hug, "you could kiss me a million times and I still would give you all the time you need. Nothing needs to be made official right now." There it was again. This time I wasn't sorry, and I wasn't going to run away.

I put my hand on his cheek and rubbed my thumb over it slowly, he looked at me and tilted his head in question. I glanced at his lips and back up at his eyes, looking for any sign of consent. He blushed and leaned in slowly. Our lips slowly connected and I felt a million emotions at once.

He deepened the kiss immediately, taking over control and grabbing my waist pulling me into his lap. He kissed with full emotion, passion, and strength. I tangled my hands in his hair and his hands made their way up and down my sides massaging them slowly. It was the most emotional kiss I've ever shared.

We kissed for awhile, before slowly pulling away. Our lips swollen and hair askew. I leaned my forehead onto his as we calmed our breathing down. I smiled softly, speaking slowly, "I'm not sure what I want, I'm not sure if I'm ready to make that big of a commitment... but one thing is for sure, I absolutely have feelings for you Draco Malfoy."

He looked in my eyes, and kissed my forehead gently. "You don't have to know what you want yet love, and I Draco Malfoy, have feelings for you too Harry Potter. If it wasn't already obvious."

We sat like that for a few more minutes, before we slowly made our way downstairs. The blush on my cheeks grew darker, when I saw nothing but smirks at the bottom of the stairs. "Could've fixed your hair Draco. Messy hair on Harry is common. You? Not so much." Remus swatted at Sirius for the comment, but me and Draco bursted out laughing.

We sat around the living room talking for hours on end, ending the night with a movie once Teddy finally fell asleep. If me and Draco were secretly holding each other under the blanket we were under on the sofa.. well everyone knew anyways.

Sirius and Remus kept whispering and pointing, talking about their bet like we couldn't hear. Draco looked at me, smiling and kissed my head softly.

I didn't know what any of this meant, but once thing I knew for sure was, things between me and Draco would never be the same again.
