Harry and Draco are both in their sixth year of Hogwarts, the second term had only just begun and the two were already up to mischief.
The cool breeze of the night swept through the corridors. Moonlight illuminating the halls. Harry was waiting patiently for Draco to show up at the courtyard. He was making sure to stay quiet and out of sight until his boyfriend arrived.
Draco came along 5 minutes later carrying a towel. When he saw Harry hiding in the corner of the courtyard he smiled and ran up behind him, scaring Harry. Draco laughed and hugged Him. Harry smiled back and they shared a kiss. It was deep and passionate, Draco’s hand found its way up into Harry’s hair, gripping it tightly, Harry made a quiet moan, Draco chuckled against his lips.
“Hey,” Draco said, smiling at his boyfriend. Harry had to look up slightly as he was the shorter one.
“Hey” Harry said back grinning.
Hand in hand they made their way down the path to the great lake. The journey takes them about 7 minutes. They shared kisses and words of affection the whole way there. This was their only chance to have time to themselves as they are not the type for PDA even if they are somewhat out at school.
Pansy and Hermione had been pushing them to do activities whilst the school was asleep, they were a surprisingly bad influence on the boys, yet they decided to follow the advice from the girls.
Harry took his top off leaving him standing barefoot in only shorts. His body was rather toned from all his near death experiences and events he had gone through in his life, not to mention how malnourished he had been upon his arrival to Hogwarts.
Draco wore a long sleeve black shirt, claiming it was too cold to be bare chested. Harry didn’t have a problem with this, thinking that Draco might just be a bit insecure and not that he has the dark mark.
Harry was first to get into the water, making a high pitched noise upon entering due to the temperature and it being around winter.
Draco was hesitant to get into the water but Harry wasn’t having it, he pulled Draco into the water landing with a loud splash, both boys drenched. Draco and Harry were laughing, so in sync.
Draco got up first, providing his hand to Harry for support in standing up. Harry gladly took the help. As he did so he pulled the pair into a hug, they stood like that for a while. Draco planted kisses all over Harry’s neck while whispering sweet words to him between each kiss. Harry held Draco tighter as he did so, as if this moment wasn’t real, as if he was holding on to the memory in case it slipped away from him when he wasn’t looking.
“You ok?” Draco asked, noticing the change in the mood.
“Yea, just recharging and taking this moment in.” Harry responded.
“Ok then” Draco replied sweetly, smiling and taking in Harry’s body heat as if he might die without it.
Harry let go of the hug, a mischievous grin crept on to his face, and he was quick to splash Draco right in the face. Draco stood there, shocked mouth openly gaped.
“So we are doing this now are we? I thought you loved me Potter?” Draco said grinning back.
“I do Malfoy, this is just my particular way of showing it!” He responded with wit.
Draco sent a mass amount of water Harry’s way. This soaked him further than he was before.
Draco laughed and helped his boyfriend to stand back up. As he did so Harry kissed him, ever so gently with love and affection. Harry grinned against Draco’s lips. Draco did too, just before he kissed him back, deepening the kiss.
All of a sudden a loud noise is heard “Students are out of bed! Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Potter, they are probably out on the grounds making out somewhere.” A woman's voice came through the trees.
Harry and Draco stared at one another for a split second and sprinted out of the water, grabbed their clothing and darted for the tree line. Hiding behind a cluster of trees and bushes they were able to dry themselves off and properly clothe themselves.
They had to stop themselves from giggling as foot steps were dying off.
When the coast was clear the boys sprinted for the castle making their way up the steps ensuring they were not spotted by a teacher or prefect on duty. They made their way back to the courtyard where they parted ways, quickly kissing each other before running off in opposite directions.
Harry made it to his common room unspotted until he arrived back inside. Hermione was sitting on a chair crookshanks in her lap.
“So how was your date under the moonlight?” she asked, amused by the sight of Harry.
“It went well until we were almost caught by I think McGonagall.” Harry said, upset that the date came to a quick close.
“Just think smarter next time.” she said smiley as she gathered her belongings and headed up to her dormitory. Harry trailed behind her and went his separate ways once at the top of the stairs.
Meanwhile in the Slytherin common room, Pansy was questioning Draco like tomorrow didn’t exist, well in this case later in the morning as it was now 1:39 am. Draco did his best to answer all her questions, but eventually dismissed her and told her he was tired from the date and would be going to bed. She accepted this as long as she could ask about it more at a later time.
Draco and Harry lay in their beds, smiling to themselves, this was just the beginning of many more dates that would come to an end from getting caught by teachers. Draco nor Harry barely got any sleep that night.
