《What If? - Drarry》Chapter Fourteen
Advertisement
"Happy anniversary!" Harry called as he entered the guest room, before looking around and realising that Draco wasn't there yet and that he had just shouted into an empty room. Feeling like a bit of an idiot, Harry dropped the invisibility cloak to the side and was about to take a seat at the desk when the door burst open once more and Draco flew into his arms.
"Happy anniversary!" Draco cried, mimicking Harry's words of moments before, and Harry smiled as hugged Draco back, tightly. He smelt fresh, and was wearing just a hint of Harry's favourite cologne, which made Harry smile.
"So," Harry began, "I know we decided against presents, but-"
"Harry!" Chastised Draco, "But I haven't got a present for you! Now I feel awful!"
"No, no, don't worry, it's not a present," Harry reassured. "It's a surprise."
"Oh thank Merlin," Draco sighed, looking relieved. "What is it?"
"A surprise." Harry laughed at Draco's exasperation. "I need your broom though - bloody Umbridge has mine. Could you get it? You can have the cloak if you want. Oh- and you might want to get the scarf I got you, too."
Draco, perplexed, retrieved his broom and scarf from the Slytherin dorm under the cloak. "You going to tell me what it is now?" He asked as he returned.
"Patience," Harry smiled. "Get under the cloak - if we both hunch over it should cover our feet - because we're going out!"
Draco raised his eyebrows. "Not that this isn't sweet of you, but we'll definitely be seen if we go flying around, Harry."
"Nope, I've got other stuff planned. Just follow me."
"If we get caught..." Draco muttered.
"We won't. Come on. And if we do get caught, just show your face and we'll be left alone. Umbridge loves you."
"I will kill you, Harry."

"No, you won't," Harry smiled as they slipped from the room on silent feet, hidden under the cloak.
The fact that the astronomy tower had no glass in its large arched windows had been a source of annoyment for cold students since Hogwarts had been founded, but tonight, Harry was thankful for it. He slid the invisibility cloak off.
"Harry, what are we doing?" Draco whispered anxiously, wrapping the scarf around his neck as the cold of the room sank in.
"Can the broom take both of us?" Harry asked, ignoring the question and looking out of the window. He was pleased to see that the stars looked brilliant.
"Yes, but-"
"Then trust me, and get on the broom," Harry said, then quickly added, "Please."
Sighing, Draco mounted the broom behind Harry and held on tightly to his waist. "If I die, I'll kill you." He said, not really sounding angry. Harry grinned.
"What's with all the death threats tonight?" He laughed, then added, "Brace yourself."
Slowly, being careful to keep the broom as steady as possible, Harry flew them out of the paneless window and felt Draco grip his sides hard as he looked down at the dizzying drop. Manoeuvring the broom, Harry climbed higher, then lowered them down onto the gently sloping roof of the tower. The flight had barely taken thirty seconds.
"Harry!" Draco exclaimed as he dismounted, "You didn't have to do this!"
Set up on the roof was a quilt blanket covered in the Gryffindor covers and two grey throw pillows, beside which sat a record player, vinyl disk, and a steaming teapot with two large mugs. Harry grinned sheepishly.
"I wanted to take you on a date, so-"
Draco hugged him tightly, and kissed him on the cheek. "It's wonderful, Harry. Thank you."
"Let's sit down," Harry took a seat on one of the pillows. Then, more as an afterthought, waved his wand to cast a warming spell. Draco sat next to him and laced their fingers together, looking up at the sky.

"What an excellent night to do this," He said quietly. "You can see all the stars. And the moon's almost full. It looks huge over the forest, doesn't it?"
"It reminds me of that night we went flying last year. You remember?"
"The time you damn near gave me a heart attack? Yes, I recall," Draco laughed. Harry handed him a mug of hot chocolate, and he let go of Harry's hand to cradle the warm cup.
"Courtesy of Dobby," Harry smiled as he poured a mug for himself.
"I would ask you to tell him thank you, but I doubt he would appreciate it from me,"
"I'll thank him for both of us," Harry reassured him, momentarily resting a hand on Draco's leg before going back to holding his mug for warmth. They both looked up at the sky.
"Which one's Draco?" Harry asked, gesturing to the stars with his hot chocolate. Draco's eyes moved back and forth for a moment as he searched the sky for the constellation that was his namesake, then pointed to an area just over the forest-covered mountains that surrounded Hogwarts.
"Over there,"
"Where?"
Draco moved closer to Harry and pressed his cheek against Harry's to see from his point of view. "See, if you follow my finger, it's those stars that curve around then back up, there," Harry followed Draco's fingers and thought he saw the ones he was talking about. "-And then goes down, and those stars," He circled his finger, "make a sort of square at the bottom."
"Oh yeah!" Harry exclaimed delightedly as he made out the pattern.
"It doesn't ever set, so you can see it all year round," Draco rested his head on Harry's shoulder and looked at the constellation. "There are a few myths about it, but my favourite is the one that says that Draco was the dragon who guarded the tree of golden apples. The muggles call it mythology, but most wizard historians think it's a true story, as most Greek and Roman Myths are."
"It's beautiful," Harry said softly, and turned to Draco. "But you know what's more beautiful?"
"What?" Draco asked quietly.
"Me." Harry grinned, and laughed as Draco elbowed him. "Careful, I'll spill my hot chocolate!"
"You dickhead," Draco giggled.
"You love me," Harry smirked as he righted himself on his pillow once more.
"Yeah, I do," Draco said with a smile. "Can't think why, though."
Harry put a hand on the back of Draco's neck and kissed him, tasting hot chocolate. When they drew apart Draco rested his head on Harry's shoulder again, and they watched the sky.
"What's the record player for?" Draco asked, at length.
"I was hoping you'd ask that," Harry said, happily, and moved to set the record into place before sliding the needle over the disk and starting the music.
"Oh," Draco made a small sound of recognition as the song began.
"It's the song-"
"We first kissed to," Finished Draco quietly. He looked at Harry, and even after a year of looking, Harry felt the little lurch in his stomach.
"I had to sing to Hermione to find this song," Harry laughed. "Luckily Seamus had a record player, and I got Hermione to borrow the record from Lavander."
"What did I do to deserve you?" Draco asked, and Harry could see the moon reflected in his eyes as they looked at each other. And then they were kissing, mugs of hot chocolate left to grow cold beside them as the stars danced overhead.
A/N: I love fluff. We all love fluff. Fluff is great. And I finished my exams, woo-hoo! -E
