Green (H/D)

Title: Green
Raiting: PG
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Word Count: 444
Author Notes: Crossposted at [livejournal.com profile] harrydraco, written out of boredom and weird Holiday spirit. Beta-ed by [livejournal.com profile] why_me_why_not! and slightly weird as it took me ten minutes, but oddly satisfying regardless.
Warnings: Um, slight HBP spoilers ([livejournal.com profile] haltlos, why hadn't you tell me you hadn't read it?! I think I've spoiled you right and left by now.), and Draco-who-went-over-to-the-light-side.


On Christmas day, 1998, a day after Voldemort’s death, Draco finds himself entering Grimmauld Place, haunted house of his mother’s memories and his own childhood bed stories, Potter’s refuge during the war and the overlooked location of the now-destroyed last Horcrux.

Potter is laying on a graying couch on the living room, the Blacks' family tapestry with Draco’s own name on it on his back, Granger and Weasley fussing over him as he tries to shrug off the multiple bandages around him. Draco coughs from the threshold, a spot of light in the dark room and with eyes to match the coloring of the decaying wall paper.

Three heads turn to him, and Draco wants desperately to smirk as he watches Potter’s Adam apple going up and down anxiously. He doesn’t move from the spot as Potter asks his personal bodyguards to leave them alone in that slightly pathetic, slightly compelling tone of voice that speaks too much of friendship and favors and ‘I’ll tell you later's for Draco’s peace of mind.

Weasley glares at him as he leaves the room, his hair looking far too bright for the house, the same as Potter’s eyes are too bright and unforgettable for Draco’s sanity. They don’t speak for an entire minute, staring at each other in silence as he can see Potter’s arm bleed slowly, turning the bandage deep crimson. When Draco finally moves, he walks in strides as he gets to Potter, throws his head backwards against the couch and kisses him deeply, desperately.

(Grievingly and with mourning and laced a bit with the crying Draco hasn’t allowed himself since the time Potter gave him scars to match his.)

The Dark Mark he had forfeited almost a year ago burns in his arm, but he keeps on kissing Potter, who kisses back just as hungry as him, arms wrapping around his neck and blood painting his pale skin.

“You almost died,” says Draco against Potter’s mouth, uncomfortable in his almost standing position, but not wanting to let go. Potter nods, and he continues, “and I’d told you it was a bad idea, and apparently after so many months of working together you still won’t listen to me, you little shit.”

“Well it worked, didn’t it?” Potter says looking him in the eye, the only color Draco’s world has had since his parents were killed. “And the day I listen to you, Malfoy, is the day the world will end."

Draco decides to let it pass, only because it’s Christmas and the bastard might be probably bleeding to death. So Draco kisses him again, and sinks willingly in the fathomless ocean of Potter’s eyes.

Part of me is brimming with questions: How did they get to this point? How did Harry get injured? What happens next?...and part of me thinks this is perfect just the way it is.

Beautifully written, in either case.

Thank you! Ii know, even I was confused, and I was trying to show a bit of what happened, but well, in all honesty I was lazy.

Most of my friends kept telling me what's happening in the book and the internet gave me the rest.
So I already knew all you've written. ;)

The drabble was great! Really incharacter and christmassy. ;)

Oh well, I guess it's hard to keep it down. But I know your pain, when I started reading GoF, a classmate went and told me 'Moody's evil.' I was so mad, even when he was only halfway right.

Thanks! Glad you liked it XD

The most hilarious thing was as I went to a book store with a friend two days after hbp was released. She just opened one of the last pages and read that Snape was killing Dumbledore... It was just one or two sentences - so she didn't know what's happening. And she told me and so many of our other friends!
We were just like: Oh STFU *please*! *lol*

That's awful! I mean that's just some sort of odd bad luck. oh well, now you've had time to get used to the idea right? /optimism

Jkr already killed Sirius - the worst thing she could do. I think killing Dumbledore is something she had to do.
But if she kills Ron or Hermione or even Draco I'm really gonna be unfriendly. *lol*

This is lovely.
I especially liked this part: Potter says looking him in the eye, the only color Draco’s world has had since his parents were killed. *sighs*

Thanks!
