Harry and Draco walked to hogsmade together in silence. Harry had noticed Draco was quiet and with a worried and mad look. "What's wrong Draco? Don't try saying it's nothing because we both know something's bothering you."

"Pansy is having a thought time and I want to punch Blaise." Draco admitted.

"If you want we can postpone this and you can go with Pansy." Harry offered sincerely. Draco shook his head. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. I wanted to do this for sometime now." Draco looked down to his shoes and tried to his his blush.

Harry chuckled. "I didn't tell you but I like how you look in muggle clothes."

"I look hot in everything." Draco teased opening the door to the three broomsticks for them to enter. Harry got a table and Draco got the butter beers. When Draco went back he place two butter beers on the table. "Are you a top or a bottom?" Draco asked sipping his drink. Harry choked on his drink making Draco laugh. "Bunk beds. I meant bunk beds."

"Top." Harry answered whipping his mouth. "Why?"

"Because we are going with Teddy for Christmas Eve and there's two spare rooms if Granger want to come. One has a bunk bed so I thought we'd leave Granger the bigger bed." Draco said with a child-like glint in his eyes. He was always looking like this when he talked about Teddy.

"Sound good to me." Harry smiled at Draco.

"One more thing. Please don't make Teddy feel bad."

Harry reached over the table and grabbed Draco's hand making him blush. "I promise I won't make him feel bad in any way." Draco made no attempt to hide his blush this time and didn't want to talk afraid he'd stutter. Instead he sipped his drink and kept quiet. Harry didn't let go of the pale soft hand liking how it felt against his. Both boys finished their drinks and walked out. "I've been thinking,"

"That could lead us into trouble but go ahead." Draco said in a cocky way.

"I want to present myself a certain way to your family."

"Which way?" Draco asked nervously.

"As your boyfriend." Harry said with confidence.

Draco's heart sped up and a blush crept up on his cheeks his hands fumbled with the sleeves on his sweater. "That'll be nice."

Harry leaned in to kiss his boyfriend. "Is Draco Malfoy shy?"

"Is Harry Potter an arse?" Draco smirked at Harry and kissed him. Draco's good mood didn't last long when he saw Blaise and Daphne laughing together. "That bastard is going to hear me now."

Draco marched ton Blaise and Daphne with Harry following close behind. Draco made himself look innocent and smiled at Blaise and Daphne. "What are you two doing here?"

Daphne clung onto Blaise's arm and giggled. "We're on a date."

Draco pretended to be surprised. "Oh! You are!" He turn to look at Blaise. "How long have you two been going out?"

"Well yesterday he asked me finally out after weeks and weeks." Daphne put a hand on Blaise's chest.

"Oh so I bet Pansy knows about this. Is that right Blaise?"

"Yes Blaise broke up with her three weeks ago." Daphne answered.

"Oh he did!" Draco chuckled. "Mate I need to tell you something." Draco forcefully grabbed Blaise's arm and guided him to the side. "I'm going to tell Pansy about this. She doesn't deserve to be treated this way and be happy that I'm not beating the shit out of you."

"Don't. I want to tell her." Blaise said in a calm voice.

"You should've done it yesterday you piece of shit." Draco said through gritted teeth. "Don't you dare touch Pansy in any way any more because I'll rip your head off with my own hands."

"I didn't mean to do this to her it just-"

"Don't even try and find an excuse. Leave Pansy alone, you don't deserve her." Draco growled scaring Blaise.

"Draco?" Harry put a hand on his shoulder calming Draco down instantly. "Come on."

Draco gave Blaise one last glare before leaving with Harry. "Harry I'm sorry but I need to find Pansy an tell her."

"I know. I'm taking you back to the castle."

The two walked in silence to the castle and around. Finally they found Pansy sitting alone under a tree. Harry kissed Draco and left. Draco went and sat down next to Pansy who immediately put her head on his shoulder. "How was your date?" She asked in a soft voice.

"It was great. Potter is my boyfriend now. Then we saw Blaise."

Pansy sighed. "You found him?"

"With Daphne, they were on a date." Draco felt Pansy tense up and decided to hug her.

"That bitch." Pansy's angry face soon turned to a frown and a few strangled sobs left her mouth. "I thought he loved me. He smelled me on the potion. I smelled him."

"What were the odours?"

"Strawberries, Maple syrup, my perfume, magazines."

"You do t really like strawberries and you can't stand Maple syrup. I know you changed your perfume and you actually don't wear any because the lotions I gave you smell better. You also stopped reading magazines since 5th year because that's the year Daphne tried getting Blaise's attention too and they reminded you of her. Ever since you've trusted my advice on what you should wear." Draco heard the faint sobs come to a stop.

"I'm not going to waste tears on people who don't even love me." Pansy whipped her eyes and took a deep long breath. "I never needed a man to make me feel complete and I won't need it now." Pansy turned to Draco and hugged him tightly. "You and Theo are the only two males I'll ever need in my life. Thank you for watching out for me Draco."

"Of course." Draco sighed he knew Pansy was hiding her pain. She might be into Granger but she was always in love with Blaise. He had slowly punched her away but he kept her close enough to cause her pain. "Let's get you something to drink."

"I don't want to see him and you already drank something with Potter." Pansy said breathily.

"I wasn't talking about alcohol Pans. I was talking sneaking into the kitchen and getting some pumpkin juice for both of us." Draco stood up and held out a hand for her. "Then later we can fight or climb trees as a competition but just so you know I'm not letting you win."

☾

Draco who was currently dangling from a tree huffed. "Aw what's wrong Draco? Did you lose?" Pansy teased from the top branches of the tree.

"No...... I just let you win this one. Consider yourself lucky."Draco got down from the tree dusting himself off and put Harry's sweater back on. "Come on, let's go inside. It getting darker."

Pansy nodded and got down from the tree grabbing her sweater. Ever since being death eaters both couldn't stand the dark. They slept with windows open to let light in and from time to time both crashed on the same places to have someone known close. They weren't afraid of the dark but after months of being with death eaters they were afraid of melting into it.

When they both walked through the door of the Great Hall sharing a laugh after Draco finally admitted he lost. They ignore the awkward glances they got and sat with their friends. Blaise sat at the other end of the table with an obvious frown as Daphne talked and talked. Harry smiled at Draco noticing he was wearing his sweater. "Why is Blaise not with us?" Astoria asked looking at Blaise.

"He's probably sucking the life out of your sister." Pansy responded as if it was no big deal.

"What?" Theo looked mad after hearing what Pansy had said.

"Harry and I were walking around and I saw Blaise with Daphne. They were on a date." Draco explained carefully not wanting for Pansy to get sad or worse, mad.

"He was lucky Draco didn't kill him." Harry added.

"I'm going to kill him." Theo grabbed his wand but Pansy pulled him back down. "What the hell woman? I'm trying to kill a traitor here."

"Oh sit the fuck down I don't need anyone defending my honour. Besides he knows what I can do to him but honestly, I'm fine." Pansy reached to grab some food putting it on her plate. "I think I saw it coming." Pansy pushed her plate back and got up abruptly.

"Pans-" Draco tried grabbing her hand but she had jerked it away.

"I'll go." Astoria said standing up.

"No, I'll go." Hermione stood up, "I know what she's going through. Let me."

Hermione walked out of the hall after Pansy earning weird glances but she didn't care. Finally she found Pansy leaning against a wall breathing shakily. Her eyes were red but there were no tear stains on her cheeks. "Come Pansy." Hermione extended her hand for Pansy who took it hesitantly. They went up to their common room. Hermione prepares tea for Pansy who was sitting on the bed wrapped up with a blanket.

"I hate Blaise. Stupid arse didn't even love me." Pansy mumbled. "That bitch."

"Is Blaise the reason you cried?" Hermione asked handing her the tea.

"I didn't cry I was just being stupidly weak." Pansy said.

"It's ok to cry. Especially after finding out something like you did." Hermione sat down in front of Pansy. "You have good friends Pansy, I hope you consider me one."

Instead of responding anything about it Pansy smirked. "Let's go do something fun."

"What? No that's against the rules and and-"

"Fun! Besides," Pansy got up, "it's not like you haven't broken the rules."

"Yeah but that was with Harry's invisibility cloak." Hermione pointed out.

"Well this is the fun part."

☾

Draco laid with his back to Harry as he tried to sleep. "Draco talk to me, I know you're awake." Draco sighed and turned around to meet Harry's forest green eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I know Pansy is strong but I know she has her heart broken. She doesn't like crying though but she also needs a way to let it out and I'm afraid that way might get her into trouble." Draco smuggled closer to Harry. "She's my best friend and I worry about her. In third year I came out to her and someone heard a but the next day everyone thought we talked about her liking the same gender. We pretend to be together so everyone would leave her alone but that's when Matt told everyone that I stole her virginity. That was the only night I saw her crying but after that she would just hex everyone who called her things. It gave her a lot of detentions and if she does that now she can get expelled or sent to askaban."

Harry held Draco tightly. "If that does happen I'll get her out of trouble."

"Thank you Harry." Draco pecked his lips lightly before snuggling closer.

"You're welcome Dray, goodnight."

"Night."
