True to your heart

Chapter three: Theme Park Romance

Vernon Dursley turned the radio in the car up, hoping to avoid any conversation that may have been threatening to happen. On the backseat of the incredibly uncomfortable company car three teenagers were squashed together, one of them completely ignoring the other two as they talked. Draco whispered something relatively private and rude in Harry's ear, causing him to both snort and blush at the same time. Dudley sat for a while wondering what this stranger had said when, said stranger leaned over Harry's knee towards him. If Dudley had been looking closely and paying more attention, perhaps he would have noticed Draco's hand rest on top of Harry's and Harry squeezing it back affectionately. "Dudley?" Draco whispered, "Where are we going?" looking directly at Dudley and not blinking.

Dudley remained silent, too afraid to speak. "Well," Draco began sitting back up and reaching his hand into his pocket, "I guess there's only one thing for it." His other hand was still lying on top of Harry's thigh; they were both lucky Aunt Petunia didn't turn around or that Dudley didn't notice otherwise they definitely would have some explaining to do, not to mention neither Harry nor Draco noticed either.

It seemed like they had been driving for weeks when Uncle Vernon finally pulled in to the parking lot. All five of them got out of the car and made their way over to the ticket box, Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and Dudley leading, with Draco and Harry bringing up the rear. Uncle Vernon paid the cashier and returned with some maps, "Here. These are maps of the park; Petunia and myself will go around together. Leaving you," Pointing to Harry, "Dudley and your friend to do what you want. And if you do anything to Dudley I will personally make sure neither of you see that schoÂ…" He trailed off, then regained his posture, "Be back here at five o'clock sharp otherwise we will leave with out you." Then he walked away leaving Harry, Draco and Dudley standing there, watching his retreating back. For a moment they just stood in silence, all of them wondering why Uncle Vernon had let Dudley go with them, before Harry spoke up.

"Well come on then you two." Harry said, grabbing Draco's arm and walking in the direction that his aunt and uncle had gone, then he realized what he was doing and dropped Draco's arm. He walked through the ticket barrier and into the park; With Draco and then Dudley following suit.

The first ride they saw was, according to the huge sign in front of it, the Terrorizer. "Harry that ride looks pretty intense." Draco said, looking at Harry and winking.

"It does, doesn't it Dudley?" Harry replied looking over at his cousin, who had gone a very unflattering shade of green. "Lets go on it."

"Yeah!" Draco jumped up and down, excitedly clapping his hands, while Harry shoved his enormous cousin into the queue (Not an easy task), which was, at least one hundred people long. The queue was taking forever to move, when they finally got closer to the ride Draco started bouncing up and down again, looking like a very young school kid. Harry leaned over to him and whispered in his ear, "Baby. Will you please stop doing that? You're making me feel dizzy and I'm not even on the ride yet."

Draco didn't whisper a reply back, instead he said, out loud, "I can't help it. You know I've never been to a Muggle theme park before." Looking over at Dudley, who after sensing Draco's gaze, gulped and looked away.

"You are evil, you know that?" Harry said, with a grin.

"I know. Besides what did you expect? I'm a Slytherin."

"A Slytherin?" Dudley asked, joining the conversation, rather timidly.

"One of the four houses at school." Draco explained, being rather nice towards Dudley, too nice, "There are Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, that's mine, and Gryffindor, that's Harry's" Dudley blushed, suddenly, for some reason.

"Oh!" was the only reply Draco got, because at that very moment they found themselves at the front of the queue.

"Room for three more up here Tom!" A man, who Harry presumed worked there yelled and Tom let the three boys pass him before closing the barrier. The other man showed them to their seats and make sure they were safely secured before stepping down from the ride, indicating to another to start it up. Draco had been right when he said it was intense, actually that was an understatement. The Terrorizer spun them around before lifting them high in the air and stopping, leaving them dangling upside down before spinning them back down to Earth again.

When the ride stopped everyone stepped off, after being helped out of the restraints by the man who helped put them on in the first place. Harry, Draco and Dudley were the last to disembark the ride, Harry was laughing at Draco who was leaning on Harry for support, he was laughing so hard, while Dudley sat down on the picnic tables out side one of the takeaway's. "That was amazing." Draco gasped as he managed to finish laughing, "Can we do it again?" Harry opened his mouth to say something but, instead, raised an eyebrow at his boyfriend, who blushed and said, "You know what I meant."

"Yes I know. That's my problem." Draco elbowed him playfully in the ribs, "But we might be able to, if we have time later."

Draco looked across at Dudley, who was sat on the bench still looking an unhealthy shade of green, "You alright there, Dudley?" he asked, his voice full of mock consideration and a hint of sarcasm.

Dudley looked up, surprised, but then replied, "I'm fine thanks Draco." Harry noticed that Dudley blushed slightly, "What are we going on next?"

What's that all about? Harry thought to himself, Actually, I don't think I want to know the answer to that. "I don't know. Dray, what'd you want to go on?"

"UmmmÂ…" Draco said, consulting the map, "The Dodgems."

"Cool." Dudley said standing up and looking at the map over Draco's shoulder, and that's when Harry's suspicions were confirmed, his cousin liked his boyfriend.

"Ok then," Harry said, "Come on Draco, they're over here." He said, grabbing Draco's hand and pulling the other boy after him, leaving Dudley to follow behind.

"Harry? What are you doing? You do realize you're holding my hand in public don't you? People will start to get suspicious you know?" frowning at Harry's subtly, or lack thereof.

"I know Dray, but I think Dudley has fallen for a certain blonde haired Slytherin." Harry said, "My blonde haired Slytherin."

Draco snorted, "How do you know that?"

"That you're my Slytherin? Well if yesterday was any indicationÂ…" he trailed off as Draco elbowed him in the ribs, again. "As to how I know he likes you. Well I can't be certain but I'm pretty sure he does. When you asked if he was OK his eyes lit up like they do when someone you like talks to you and just now when he was looking over your shoulder he had the look that you only get from standing so close to someone you like or love." Harry paused, checking no one was in hearing range before adding, "Believe me I should know."

"What'd you know?" Draco said with a chuckle, as they joined the end of the queue for the dodgems.

Chapter four: A plan worthy of a Slytherin

It was ten to five and the three boys were sat by the Dursleys' car waiting for Harry's aunt and uncle. Harry and Draco were sat pretty far away from Dudley, who had been slightly subdued ever since they went on the Terrorizer.

"Harry?"

"Yeah?" Harry replied turning to face Draco.

"You don't like Dudley. Do you?"

"I can't stand him, why?" looking at Draco suspiciously.

"What would you say if I told you that I had a plan to make your last week with him, the best one you've ever had?"

"I'd say shut up talking and kiss me," He paused before adding, "But that's not an option right now, I'll have to save that for later, so I'll go with plan B. What's your idea?" Draco leaned in and whispered his plan into Harry's idea.

"Mr. Malfoy." He said, pretending to look shocked, "That is an evil despicable planÂ… I like it!" his face cracking into a grin. Any other discussions of the 'plan' were limited because his aunt and uncle arrived and they were soon on their way back to Little Whinging.

Harry and Draco were sat alone in the Dursley's living room, watching television. Actually they were pretending they were watching it, they were actually discussing the 'plan'.

"Well if what you say about him liking me is true, I think I have a way to screw him up a bit."

"Yeah, and It'll work perfectly as well." Harry replied, putting his arm around Draco's shoulders, drawing the other boy closer to him.

"There's just thing that bugging me Harry." Draco said, resting his head against Harry's, "Are you sure this is fair? I mean screwing with a guy's mind is one thing but screwing with his heart is something completely different."

"Draco. This is the guy who spent most of his life making mine a living hell, if he doesn't deserve this then I honestly don't know anyone who does. Besides since when do Slytherin's care about fairness? You're starting to sound like a Gryffindor."

Draco pulled away at looked at Harry, angry at first but then after realizing that Harry had been joking grimaced, "Good God! I am aren't I? What's wrong with me?" He said in mock horror.

"Besides," Harry added, "After the way that he's treated me in the past, it's a wonder I came out sane."

"You've never been sane." He replied patting Harry's leg.

"Thanks."

At that moment the door opened. Harry quickly took his arm away from Draco's shoulders and looked up to see his cousin coming into the room. Harry looked at Draco, who gave him a sexy smile and a wink, before turning to Dudley and saying, "Dudley come sit here, it between me and Harry." Harry nearly burst out laughing right there and then, as Dudley blushed and squeezed himself onto the sofa which was only supposed to accommodate two people. After a while, Harry got up from the sofa and stretched his legs. "Draco, I'm knackered, are you coming up or are you staying here?" giving Draco a suggestive look, that told Draco exactly what Harry wanted him to do.

"I'm going up too. Today has been a long day. Good night Dudley." He said, getting up and following Harry out of the room.

"Good night Draco."

Harry closed the door and made sure that it was locked before getting into bed with Draco. Draco snuggled up to Harry and laid his head on Harry's bare, muscular chest, trailing small circles with his fingertips on Harry's stomach. "Draco, what are you going to do when we get to school?"

"I don't know." Draco admitted, shrugging against Harry, "I mean I probably won't be able to stay in the Slytherin dormitories, especially if Lucius had told the other death eaters that I can't be trusted. They've probably told their kids to avoid me at all costs. And I don't think McGonagall would like it if I stayed in your dorm, not to mention what Weasley would say." He paused, letting his hand trail downwards and coming to rest on Harry'sÂ… inner thigh. (A/N: what did you think I was going to put? :: evil grin: :) "I guess I'll have to write to Dumbledore and tell him what's happened." He continued, with a sigh.

"DracoÂ… I hope you don't mind but as soon as you arrived I wrote to him and told him that you been kicked out and were staying here. I hope you don't mind. I thought he would probably already have known anyway."

Draco looked into Harry's eyes, "Harry of course I don't mind. Thank you. Have you heard from him yet?"

"No! That's what's so frustrating. But I guess for now we'll just forget all about it and do thisÂ…" Draco opened his mouth to say something but Harry silenced him by covering Draco's mouth with his in a deep passionate kiss. Draco pulled back slightly, gasping for breath, "That's a very good idea, I like that." Before placing another kiss on Harry's lips, this one even more passionate than the first. They spent the next ten minutes kissing, touching and kissing some more. Their tongues intertwining with each other and their lips fitting against each others perfectly. Than Harry broke the contact with Draco's mouth and began to kiss down Draco's neck. Draco moaned slightly as Harry's kisses trailed down his shoulder blade and chest, but he pulled back before Harry could do anything else. As much as he wanted to, Draco couldn't let Harry make love to him, not right there, after all he doubted these walls weren't sound proof and he knew that once they got going they could both be pretty loud.

When Harry had finally fallen asleep, around two in the morning, Draco lay there with his head on Harry's shoulder. Doing nothing except watching Harry's chest rise and fall as he took a breath. As he lay there he felt safe for the first time since he had been kicked out of the manor. When he had been kicked out he had felt scared and alone, thankfully he knew Harry's address off by heart and he had his wand to summon the Knight Bus with. Laying there listening to Harry's soft breathing he finally fell into a sleep full of dreams about the one person he was holding, Harry.
