[HP DEHA] utility room

Draco was standing on the North Tower Observatory at this moment.

He had no intention of looking at the planetarium floating and rotating in the house, nor was he interested in the various precision instruments placed in the house, let alone the old bookshelves and books in the corner.

—Cleaning the observatory?That's what goblins do, how can you let me do it.

He strode towards the semi-circular viewing platform outside the house, where there was only a shallow circle of old metal railings.

This is the highest place in the North Tower. Looking down from here through the bright moonlight, you can see part of the Hogwarts castle, playground, Forbidden Forest, distant mountains and Black Lake.

gorgeous.

Draco turned around and sat down against the railing, using the torches and lights in the room, he flipped through the small hardcover book "History of the 27 Clans" that he had been carrying with him recently, intending to read two more chapters.He didn't like any of these readings, but he had to read them because his father wanted to check them.

After Christmas Eve, Lucius discovered that Draco had broken off a piece of the Mirror of Erised, which could sell for a lot of money. The bloodstains on the carpet and the edge of the mirror were real, but he refused to admit it.He was furious and taught Draco a lesson, and hoped to brainwash Draco to make him a sensible family heir by giving pressure and reading.

That's annoying enough.

If anything was more annoying, it had to be because of Potter.

Draco shuddered at the thought of Harry.He felt ashamed and inexcusable for what he did that night.He lost his self-control ability from the time he gave Harry a drink. At that time, he said a lot of things that he had never thought of. Seeing Harry's reaction, he wanted to continue with him, to the end.

——It is still like this until now.

Draco stroked his chest, trying to calm down his heartbeat and breathing.

But he really didn't know what to do, he just avoided contact and tried to forget about those scenes.

——This must be, not normal.

The spiral stairs in the north tower were so dense and high that it took Harry a while to climb them up to the highest observatory.

The observatory was very quiet when we arrived. Dozens of large and small floating planetariums were consciously rotating in their respective orbits, and there was no other sound except for the rustling of instruments.Had the torches not been lit, Harry would have thought there was no one here.He walked cautiously behind the largest planetarium, and only then saw the blond Slytherin student curled up on the viewing platform.Draco just sat there like that, flipping through the book in his hand for a while, his eyes were also distracted, obviously he had been distracted for a long time.

"Malfoy, what are you looking at?" Harry asked with a smile standing still.

The voice was neither soft nor heavy, and it just pierced Draco's daydream.He stood up in a daze, and tried to hide the reading material in his robe after seeing that it was Harry.

"I will always inherit my family in the future. I don't want to make troubles everywhere like you, and make people feel bad!"

Draco looked at Harry with his usual bored expression.While speaking, his hand holding the book trembled a little, as if he was guilty of something.

Harry didn't hold any hostility, seeing Draco mocking him, the corners of his mouth curled up again.

— Childish Malfoy.

"I don't want to fight you again. Malfoy, that day—"

Draco obviously thought Harry's smile was provocative, and his brows were already serious and guarded.

"Don't mention those things again, I told you and I regret it, just let it go!" Draco blushed and pointed his wand at Harry, "Unless you want me to forget you Curse, so you can no longer threaten me!"

Draco's hand holding the book was trembling, and he quickly interrupted Harry, not daring to listen to any more fragments.

—I don't want to be any more abnormal, Potter, let's call it a day.

"That's not what I meant, I didn't mean to threaten you." Harry lowered his head, "About the Fragment of Eris... I have something to tell you."

Harry showed Draco the bordered shard of Erised from his pocket.

It is as big as half a palm, and it is very round and shiny under the light.

Many fragments flooded Draco's mind.He still remembered waking up before dawn that night, the person in his arms curled up in his arms breathing evenly.They were surrounded by the faint smell of sweat, alcohol, bitter chocolate, and the smell of him.

It took Draco several minutes then to believe the truth before him, guilt and bewilderment lingering in his eyes.

Harry frowned, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.Draco reached out and stroked Harry's hair and the scar on his forehead.He helped him take off his glasses, stroking his cheek from the tip of his hair.

And then Draco made up his mind.

Harry wanted the shard, so give it to him, rather than being caught later by his father himself.

——It can be regarded as a consolation, or compensation.

"That thing is already yours, you don't need to return it." Draco turned his head away from looking at the fragment.

"That's not what I meant, Malfoy," Harry said impatiently.

"Then what else do you want!" Draco stared angrily into Harry's eyes, "I'm not kidding you anymore, Potter, why do you still come to trouble me so many times?"

Draco quickly approached Harry and grabbed Harry's shirt collar, "Potter, what do you want?"

As the distance drew closer, Harry could feel that Draco's emotions were already very agitated.He is not a patient person. Apart from the anger that should be on his face, there are also tiredness and sadness in his eyes.

Everything was so sudden, Draco didn't expect to be greeted with Harry's hug in the next second.

Harry had his arms around his back tightly.

Harry whispered in Draco's ear, "Thank you, Malfoy."

The tone is so calm and friendly, like talking to a close friend.

"Malfoy, it's not that you only know how to do bad things. It's not that you don't understand friendship and love. I apologize for what I said that day. I'm sorry."

The empty observatory was silent for a few seconds.

"..."

Draco was a little surprised, he didn't know how to answer.He never thought that his arch-enemy Harry would take the initiative to hug him, and he never thought that he would speak to him in such a soft tone.

For a moment he was flustered.

Since childhood, Draco's family education has always been strict.When he was very young, his parents told him that he should be strong as the heir of the Malfoy family, and he hadn't felt the taste of a hug for about seven or eight years.

At this moment, Harry's close hug made him feel warm and reassuring.

—Forget it, it’s not normal if it’s not normal.

Most of the impulsive emotions just now calmed down, and Draco's eyes were slightly red.

After all, there is still no hug back.He tried to calm his breath, maintained the posture of grabbing Harry's collar, put his other hand on Harry's shoulder, and bit down on Harry's neck.They are so close that they can feel each other's heartbeats.Draco shivered slightly, his ear rubbing against Harry's.Draco's ears were burning hot, and Harry felt that the other person's face must be very red.

It felt light on the neck at first, but it got tighter and tighter after being bitten.Harry arched his body slightly in pain, and accidentally bumped into something.

—It seemed to be Draco's standing flag.

Harry had a long dream that night.

He dreamed that something indescribable had happened with Draco.He hugged him like this, the two of them were flushed, and the other's slender and white fingers were caressing his sensitive skin.

Wheezing, foggy, sweaty, hormonal breaths.

Harry woke up early the next morning, feeling wet and sticky all over.So he quickly took a shower and changed all the clothes, and then he tidied up his textbooks and prepared to face a new day contentedly.
