Dinner with the Malfoy Heir [CLOSED]

[Harry Potter]

Harry simply nodded as Draco explained about the hosts and the party. "Well, at least I won't have to face a stack of papers for one night." Harry joked as he took a sip of his drink. "Well, I better ask Hermione then since she's the formal one between her and Luna." he added with s small smile.

Luna had an foreign taste for clothing which Harry knew he would never dare to wear outside, in public. "Maxwell huh... I've heard of them... Rich people they are. Always in the center of social gatherings... Nothing dirty about them... As I know of..." He said as he looked at Draco.

"Anyway, thank you again for accepting my dinner invitation and coming here despite your busy schedule. It was nice to have talked to you in a homey setting instead of having eyes darted at us." he said and smiled at Draco.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco nodded in response. "Yeah. They're not very dark people. You should be good for the night. Don't have to worry about Auror stuff or anything." He smirked and shook his head. "Just a night of fun, I hope." Maybe going with Harry would make it fun. Wait. Did he just think that? Did he just call him Harry? Surely not. He was mistaken.

"I agree." Draco nodded with a nice smilee toward Harry. "I actually wouldn't mind doing it again." It was the strange truth. He didn't mind spending a night with Harry as much as he thought he would. It was odd to think. Draco thought he and Harry would be enemies until they died.

"I should get going now. Astoria will probably be wondering where I went." the old hag Draco sighed before putting the almost finished glass back down at the bar. "Again... thank you."

[Harry Potter]

Harry wanted to scream or jump for joy but he held himself well in front of Draco and just smiled. "I'm sure it'll be fun. I just hope there wouldn't be reporters there. It would certainly be a sight to behold: "Governor Draco Malfoy seen at a social gathering with none other than Head Auror Harry Potter" Harry said in a mock tone and laughed softly.

"That'll certainly get on the front page of every newspaper..." he added and sighed. But Harry didn't care. He was going with Draco to a party and he was going to make the best of it. "Maybe we should have dinner again next time... You know.. Nothing heavy.. Just like this... A civilized dinner... I know for one that your favorite food are sweets..." Harry said the last part without thinking.

It was very convenient that Harry had his back on Draco that very moment so the blond man couldn't see the startled expression Harry had on his face as he regretted mentioning the last phrase he spoke of.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco hadn't really thought about reporters. Sure... they would be there. They were at almost every pureblood party. Waiting for something interesting to happen, which something normally did. Harry was right. It would be on the front page of every news paper.

"I don't care, honestly. I don't care what people say any more. Let them write those fucking articles. The only thing I care about is having fun at a stupid party. If that means going with you, then I don't care what anyone else says." Draco shocked himself. Did he just say that? Draco was full of surprises tonight.

Draco's eyes widened at Harry's words. How did he know that... "Uh. Yeah. They are." Draco mumbled, looking at the back of Harry's head as he had turned away. "I really should be going now. I'll see you tomorrow. And invite me for dinner any time you'd like. I'd enjoy coming back, Harry." It slipped off his tongue without thinking that time. His mouth parted a little and his eyes widened even more. His face full of shock.

[Harry Potter]

Harry snapped his head around to look at Draco, his face was full of disbelief. Did he just call Harry by his first name? That was just... Wow. And Draco also said that he'd enjoy coming back? What the hell was happening? Harry should be glad but he was too stone to say anything back as of the moment.

He was still taking in everything but he shook his head and smiled shyly at Draco, "Yeah, dinner next time would be great." he said as he waved his wand and the glasses to the kitchen sink. Harry was so shaken up that he trip and fell on the floor as he came out of the mini bar. "Dammit" Harry said as he fell flat on his face.

He quickly stood up again and wanted Draco to not laugh at him just because the blond man caught him off guard.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco could tell that the man was obviously shocked that he had called him Harry and not Potter, Draco was shocked too. He didn't know where it had come from. Sure he had been fighting the thoughts in his mind to stop calling him Harry and call him Potter. It was another thing entirely to have called him it out loud.

"I'm sorry!" Draco yelled, walking over to Harry as he fface planted into the floor. "I didn't... mean to." he said as Harry stood up. Draco brought his fist to his mouth and bit on it like he did when he felt bad. "It won't happy again..." Draco told him, looking down with slightly tinted red cheeks.

"Are... you okay?" Draco asked in a small voice, still looking at the ground so he would be sure that Harry couldn't see his blush.

[Harry Potter]

Harry was shocked to see that Draco had a strange habit of biting his own fist. Instinctly Harry pulled Draco's hand away from his mouth. "I'm fine. You just caught me off guard. That's all." Harry told Draco and smiled. He led the blond man to the door and hoped that whatever they have now won't come crashing down.

Harry was glad that Draco wasn't looking at him. He might have seen the blush that was creeping up into Harry's face. "Well, I had fun and a good time having dinner with you, Draco. Let's definitely do this again next time. It's a good change of company and surprisingly, your worth talking to than most people I know." he complimented Draco as Harry opened the door.

He wanted to give Draco a hug or kiss but decided against it since he didn't know yet whether Draco was into men or not. The whole time, Harry didn't see anything that could give him a hint. But seeing Draco worry a little was good enough for him. "Thanks for coming again, Draco." he said and smiled.

[Draco Malfoy]

Something was definitely wrong. Draco knew that. Fuck, why did he call him Harry and have to mess everything up? Why couldn't he have just kept that in his head and not say it out loud and ruin whatever friendship they were building? Because life isn't easy, that's fucking why.

"Sorry again." Draco mumbled as he let Harry pull his fist out of his mouth and drag him to the door. "I had a good time... I'll. uh. Just leave then. See you tomorrow still?" Draco asked hopefully. He didn't want Harry to back out on him because he made one fuck up? He was looking forward to it. "We'll definitely have to do this again." Draco was standing right next to Harry. Right next to the man that he had hated all his life, yet he couldn't help but not mind it.

"Till next time." Draco said before grabbing hold of his wand and apparating away to Malfoy Manor.

[Harry Potter]

Harry shook his head, "No need to apologize, Draco. And don't worry. I'll be there tomorrow. I'll see you then." Harry said and smiled. "It was great to have spent time with you as well, Draco. You aren't the same boy I was once and its a good thing. We both had grown up now." he added.

With that, he watched Draco apparate back to Malfoy Manor. He had a smile on his face that he doubt would disappear until he sees Draco again at the party tomorrow. Harry closed the door. Draco had invited him to a party and he said that he was fun to hang around with. It made Harry's night and he was going to bed with a smile on his face.

Inviting Draco was worth all the effort he did to make their dinner and everything.
