"Harry Potter, Draco! Really!? Like you haven't suffered enough! You chose to interlope with that damn potter boy!" Draco sat quietly. Hands folded together as he stood in front of his father pressing his lips into a thin line

"Father I-"

"I wasn't finished! Draco, I saw you two together! You said you were making friends! I can't allow the world to know my only son is gay! No scratch that I cant allow the world to know you were fafing around with bloody Harry potter!" Lucius was red in the face and Draco swallowed down his anger

"I was not 'fafing' around" Draco turned away from his father. This was harder than he thought it was going to be.

"Lucius." Narcissa spoke calming her husband slightly

"You have no control over what is happening. And I will be damned if you dont let my child do as he pleases" she spoke tenderly, she knew that he would accept Draco. He just needed time.

"Narcissa you cant possibly accept this!" He shouted

"He is engaged! There is no point in him loving potter he legally cant!" Draco swallowed again at his father's words

"This is why I came. Actually" Draco said awkward

"I don't want to marry Greengrass. Even if I wasnt in lo-" Draco choked

"-even if I didn't like potter. I never wanted Greengrass" Draco blushed and fiddled with his hands. He was acting in such an unmalfoyish way. His father could tell and bit his lip at the sight.

"There is nothing that can be done." He said after a moment of silence.

"Unless"

"Pansy!" Hermione whined as Pansy dragged her away from her school work

"Oh granger it's for the greater good!" She smiled triumphantly

"Can you at least tell me why you're here annoying me?" Hermione sighed snapping her book closed

"Yes, so I found out a way to see if Astoria did it." Hermione bit her lip and nodded for Pansy to continue

"If we say enter her mind. It's a powerful potion thing. You add it to a food or a drink and it causes parts of the brain accessible to the potion brewer or the person who put it in the food slash drink. It's a common practice with wizards and witches who have amnesia or common memory loss" pansy smiled she could practically see the gears in Hermiones brain turning

"If we can somehow recover this, Blaise could be right. And Ginny could be right as well!" Hermione stood quickly

"How does this work?" She asked fully interested

"She takes the potion. Me or you go into her mind and jump to the time she supposedly spelled Blaise. We can't interacted with them of course it's a memory and we dont want her to know that we've done this. We can deduce with the situation and then take that memory out, preserve it and then use it against her!"

"There's no way she can say it's not true because it's her own memory!" Hermione finished for pansy who nodded vigorously

"Oh Merlin pansy you're a genius! Let's get the supplies and meet me in moaning myrtles bathroom!" Pansy nodded and the two girls ran out and in different directions.

"Weasley! You're friends with a weasley!" Draco imitated taking a swig from his cup that smelled very strongly of alchohol. Ron laughed at the tone of voice taking a swig for himself

"Sounds like me when you and Harry got together" he chuckled the two sat alone in the common room. Ron and Draco had become drinking buddies those past few days and it was very interesting to watch. Harry certainly found it enjoyable to watch the two mingle

"Yeah." Harry sighed in agreement

Draco had come back from home a few days ago with alchohol in his body he seemed off. Like something was nagging at him. And everytime he looked at Harry he would blush and drink more and more until Harry was scared of him getting alchohol poisoning.

"Alright we're done here" Harry frowned and picked the pale boy up bridal style

"Aw c'mon mate! You have a drink as well yeah?" Ron slurred falling asleep right after he finished his sentence Harry shook his head and carried his lover to their room

"Oh Draco stop putting your self in these situations" Harry sighed opening the door to their room and placing Draco in the bed softy and tucking him in

"Harryyyyy" Draco whined holding onto Harry's hand

"Draco no, sleep." Harry cooed running his thumb across Dracos cheek

"Harry" Draco yawned pulling the darker boy close

"Harry. Marry me" Draco whisperd. Harry blushed and leaned down to see the pale boys face

"D-Draco?" But he had fallen asleep with rosy cheeks and perted lips. Harry kneeled down with a breathy laugh and watery eyes.

"Damn it Draco. You're gonna be the death of me" Harry said closing his eyes and scrunching his nose up

"Yeah I will" Harry whispered with a smile

"Touching" Lucius sighed clapping his hands

"Mr. Malfoy" Harry addressed but didn't stand he stayed with his hand on Dracos pale face

"You're touching my son"

"You dont say"

Both men were quiet

"Potter." Lucius begun he hadn't fully processed what was going on

What was the point of everything if his son would only fall in love with him

"Mr. Malfoy what do you want?" Harry asked rubbing his face

"Harry!" Ron called pushing past Lucius. Well stumbling.

"Where's Draco! He *hic* he said he would come dump water on Hermione with me" Ron laughed and ran to a sleeping Draco

"Ron cut it out let him sleep!" Harry said grabbing his drunken bestfriend

"Draco let's go!" Ron yelled and Draco sat up

"Is it time?" He giggled Ron laughed and the two began to conspire.

"A bloody weasley Draco really?" Lucius sighed eyeing his son who turned to him. He had rosy cheeks and his smile fell from his face

"Father?"
