This was a fun chapter. I hope you like it. Also, for those that might be curious, I've decided that H and D are in their late twenties. I mean, Harry's an Auror and Draco works at the Ministry but their age was kind of ambiguous so far. But some of the Muggle references I just made has me determined their age. Let me know your thoughts.
It was as if on point, it started to snow. It wasn't the first snow of the season, by any means, but it was definitely a first for Harry. He'd never kissed anyone while it was snowing. Well, not when it was snowing on them.
He took it as a good sign that Malfoy didn't pull away. When they did eventually part, Malfoy's cheeks were flushed and he looked flustered but all in a good way. He looked bloody gorgeous.
"I hope that was okay," Harry said, stroking Malfoy's cheek with the back of his hand. "I just...I just realised that I couldn't wait to kiss you. It took me two years to find the courage to actually ask you out and well... I kind of want to start dating you immediately."
Malfoy's eyes widened slightly and he looked struck by surprise.
Merlin, Harry was such an idiot. What was next? He was going to start drawing their names in snow with hearts looped around. Harry needed to play it cool. He liked Malfoy and didn't want to push him away by being too overbearing, but at the same time, he just didn't know how to stop himself.
"That's...charming," Malfoy said, his face unreadable.
"Are you mocking me?" Harry asked,
"Always," Malfoy said, chuckling.
"You'll never change," Harry said.
"And here you were stating that I'm hard to read," Malfoy countered. He looked around their surroundings and frowned slightly. "Not to alarm you, Potter, but I believe someone just took a picture of us and walked away."
"I know," Harry said casually. "I wouldn't be an Auror if I didn't notice things like that. Besides, I'm used to getting my pictures taken for a while now."
"And you don't mind?"
"That someone took a picture of us snogging in Diagon Alley?" Harry laughed. "Why do you think I did it? Besides, I might just chase him down and pay for a copy to keep. Not everyone gets their first kiss on record. Unless you know, they were into taking selfies which is all the rage in the Muggle world."
"What's a selfie?"
"It's a ridiculous self-centred notion taking the Muggle world by storm. Trust me, the less you know the better," Harry said.
"Very well then," Malfoy said straightening up. "I still have to get my shopping finished."
Harry nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure Ron is probably getting unnerved by the moment. I don't want him to think I forgot about him."
