Oh yes, this one is good. I was hoping someone would pick 12.
“H-how long have you been standing there?” - “Long enough.”

“You’re being ridiculous, Draco.”
“I am NOT being ridiculous! I told you, he’s not interested in me so there’s no point talking about it.”
Pansy sighed in frustration at her friend’s attitude. They were sat in their corner of the eighth year common room discussing Draco’s failure of a love life.
“I’m telling you, Potter is into you. Why would he be all friendly and nice to you, of all people, if he didn’t like you?”
“Because he is a nice, friendly guy who is too forgiving and far too straight!”
Draco had had a crush on Harry Potter since as long as he could remember. So it hasn’t helped when his long term enemy had decided they were going to be friends now that the war was over.
“He told Ginny he didn’t want to get back with her, and he hasn’t dated any other girls since we came back to Hogwarts.”
Draco rolled his eyes and sighed at the suggestion that that meant Potter was no longer into women.
“There could be plenty of reasons why he doesn’t want to date any of the girls here. It doesn’t make him gay.”
“If I could find out for sure whether Harry is gay or not, would you want to know?”
“Of course I would! I’ve had a crush on the idiot for 7 years, but even if he is gay, that doesn’t mean he likes me.”
It was completely the wrong moment for Draco to say that. They hadn’t noticed how many people had entered the common room, or how the subject of their conversation had been walking over to talk to Draco just as he had made his confession.
“Shit.” Pansy looked up from where Draco was sat to the boy who was now stood behind him.
Draco frowned at her before spinning around in his chair and being horrified when he saw who it was that was stood behind him.
“Fuck, h- how long have you been standing there?.” He thought he might be sick.
“Uh, long enough. Draco, do you-“
But his words were cut short by the bell that signalled their next lesson had started. Draco took this as a chance to escape the most embarrassing situation of his life, and darted out of the common room.
Despite them sharing several classes together, Harry found it very difficult to catch the Slytherin boy that day.
He was wandering around the gardens when he finally found the blond, the sun bouncing off of his bright hair as he well his head in his hands, rocking slightly.
“Draco.” Harry walked towards the other boy slowly, trying not to scare him off.
The other boy jumped at the sound of his name, and looked defeated when he saw who it was who had called to him.
“Look, Potter, just go away. What you heard earlier was stupid.”
“Draco, don’t worry, okay? You haven’t done anything wrong.” Harry sat down next to him and the boy sighed again, closing his eyes.
“It feels wrong.”
“It shouldn’t. I, I do like you, you know.”
Draco finally turned and looked at him with weary eyes.
“Why, though? I’m horrible. I’ve been horrible to you since the day I met you”.
Harry laughed, he supposed Draco was sort of right.
“Yes, you were a little shit when we were younger. But you helped me too, and I know that’s because you’re a good person really, even if it’s deep down.”
Draco smiled at him cautiously.
“It took me a long time to realise I was wrong, though. I was weak, scared.”
“So was I, Draco. If you had identified me in the Mannor, I’d be dead. If you hadn’t let me use your wand-“
“It doesn’t mean I deserve you. I should’ve been on your side from the start.”
“So you’re on my side now?” Draco properly turned to meet Harry in the eye.
“Yes, I am.”
Harry smiled at him. He reached out and took Dracos hand into his own, squeezing it tight.
“I like you, Draco Malfoy. I don’t care about the past. I only want to move towards the future, and I want you to be in it with me.”
Draco squeezed Harry’s hand back. “I want to be there with you, too. I’m just scared.”
“Let’s be scared together.” Harry leaned forward and kissed Draco, catching the other boy by surprise. Draco quickly fell into the embrace and leaned in close to Harry.
When they finally pulled apart, they were both smiling. This was the start of something new.

I always end these so weakly but I hope you enjoyed regardless. I’m working on making a master list for all of these prompts so they’re easier to find, I hope you enjoyed :)
