People in the eighth year common room though it would be funny to put up mistletoe everywhere during December because apparently they were still first years. So many unexpected kissed had been shared, mainly due to people forgetting it is there. For example, Luna and Blaize, Neville and Padma, Hermione and Pansy, Ginny and Seamus, Seamus and Dean- although that one was a deliberate excuse for the two of them to kiss and was completely expected.
Draco and Harry- it’s fair to say- were the best at avoiding it, trying to go in the common room when there is no-one or few people there and avoiding walking next to someone. They rarely been caught under the mistletoe, only three times between the two of them. Until they both forgot about the mistletoe and passed each other in the common room under a piece of mistletoe, which was straight away pointed out by three or four different people.
Harry and Draco just stared at each other for a moment. If a pin was dropped it would have been heard- the room went completely silent in anticipation, a buzz of excitement. It could not have been better. Draco and Harry, well as far as anyone had thought, were enemies and had been since they started Hogwarts, little did they know was that they been in a relationship since third year.
“I suppose we better get this over with.” Harry said plainly.
“Scared Potter?” Draco said teasingly, a flirting edge to his tone.
“You wish.” Harry retorted, a smirk fixed on his face.
The two stepped closer to each other, closing the slight gap between them. Harry reached up and cupped Draco’s face before kissing him, in front of everyone. Most people were expecting an awkward peck on the lips, but no it was a proper kiss- almost like they were dating. It seemed natural to then- but no, surely not?
To say everyone looked shocked would be an understatement. Their jaws dropped at what they were seeing. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy- supposed enemies- practically making out in front of half of their year group.
“Well don’t look so shocked.” Draco said after the kiss ended. “We have been dating since third year.” Draco announced casually. The common room erupted into chaos as soon as Draco said that. Harry shook his head fondly at his boyfriend before kissing him again then dragging him out the room so they could be alone, ignoring the demand for answers and people calling after them as the ran out the room. They’d deal with them tomorrow.
