6: My Dirty Little Secret

Draco
~•~

In hindsight, we really should've known we'd get caught sooner or later. I mean, sneaking aroung Hogwarts when Umbridge is running the place? Not exactly our best plan. She wasn't the one who caught us, but the point is more that we got caught.

Thinking about it now, the Room of Requirement was not exactly the best place for one of our impromptu snogging sessions. Harry does have friends. Annoying friends who happen to know all the places he might be. Annoying, needy friends who can't leave us alone for a couple damn hours.

Everything was going no differently than usual. I was songging the fuck outta Harry - damn, he tastes good - when they showed up. I won't say we were found in a compromising position (my hands all over him, his all over me - and I certainly won't say he wasn't making some extremely erotic sounds), but I also won't say we weren't.

As I said, we were deep into this snogging session when the goddamn door burst open.

"Harry, we've been looking ev- What the bloody hell is going on here?!" Harry pulls away from me quickly. Damn that mudblood. And that idiot weasel, too, staring at us like something out of Hagrid's stupid monster lessons.

"Maybe this isn't exactly the best time..." Granger continues.

"Wait! It really isn't what you think it is!" Harry says quickly. He turns to me and drops his voice so the others can't hear. "What do we do?"

"Well, there's no use trying to hide it anymore. I know you won't want to Obliviate them... Angel, I think our only choice is to tell them about us," I reply quietly.

"Are you sure?" Harry sounds a bit worried, but I nod. He sighs in resignation. "All right."

I bring my voice up to a normal level. "Weasel, Granger, you may want to sit down for what's about to come next."

"On... On the floor?!" Weasley asks.

"Oh, look, it can talk. Yes, on the floor. What, are you too good for a little more dirt on your hand-me-downs?"

"Draco." Harry's tone is warning.

"What, it isn't my fault your friend's a diva."

"Can you quit arguing with them long enough to get this over with?" He drops his voice again. "If you're good, there might be a little treat in your future."

Fuck, can't argue with that kind of logic. Damn Potter, having all this power over me. I'll have to teach him a lesson later...

"Draco! We do have an issue at hand, y'know!"

"Right, right. Fine, I'll be good. But you'd better make it worth my while."

"Oh, don't you worry," Harry says with a smirk."I'll more than make it up to you later."

"Okay, can we skip the gross innuendoes and get to the part where you tell us why the two of you were snogging?" Granger interrupts.

"Right," Harry begins, biting his lip nervously. "Well, you see... Draco and I are, uhm... Well, we're..."

"We're a couple," I finish for him. "Have been for a while now, actually."

The room is completely silent. Harry hides his face in my chest. He's shaking. I wrap an arm around him, whisper it's okay, angel into his ear. Weasley suddenly breaks the silence.

"I honestly cannot believe this. 'Mione, can you believe it? Him over me. Harry could have all this, but he chooses Draco instead!" Harry starts laughing, sounding almost hysterical.

"Ronald Weasley! That's what you have to say after such an important announcement? Honestly!" Granger gets up and hugs Harry. "You know you had nothing to worry about, right? We love you, Harry."

"Yeah, mate," Weasley interjects. "We are your best friends, you know."

"Plus, if they ever tried to hurt you, I'd end them," I added. Harry smiled brightly and kissed my cheek.

"I know, precious. And guess what? I love you."

"What a coincidence, I love me, too!" Harry playfully hits my chest. "What I mean to say is I love you more," I finish with a laugh.
