A Little Did We Know

Author's Notes: Idea to this chapter I got from Minetta Moonlight. Thanks for all the reviewers:)

Harry woke up in the middle of a night, hearing the front door opening and closing. A loud giggle, obviously from Draco, made him curious. He listened, hearing more giggling and another male voice. He put clothes on and stepped in the corridor to see Draco kissing Mike. He retreated into his room shutting the door. As I suspected, they are more than just friends. He padded back to bed, being unable to fall asleep.

~*****~

Next morning Harry came into the kitchen and found Draco and Mike there, talking quietly. He took a seat opposite to them and poured coffee to himself. After he got his first cup of fresh coffee he felt much more awake.

"Morning, Potter," Draco said coldly, but smiled to Mike when they said something to each other that Harry couldn't hear.

There was something odd about Mike. Suddenly it dawned to him. "You're not British."

Mike turned towards Harry, smiling. "No, I'm not."

Draco snorted. "Come on, Potter, are you telling me that you didn't notice it sooner?"

Mike chuckled. "No, it's okay. I've been able to fool a few other people in the past as well."

"So, where are you from?"

Mike smiled as if knowing how Harry would react. "Finland."

Harry's eyes widened. "So you are a member of Luonto?" Harry felt honoured to finally meet someone who was part of Luonto, which was a guild for wizards and witches who could link with pure Earth magic.

"Yes. Actually, all Finn wizards and witches are automatically part of it since their birth. Only foreigners have to apply to have the membership."

"Please, Potter, you don't want to hear him ramble on about Earth magic all day. He talks about it too much as it is," Draco said, looking annoyed.

"But I do. Please, go on, Mike," Harry said, glancing at Draco.

"Since I don't want to bore Draco," Mike winked suggestively at Draco, "I'll make this quick. Every Finn is part of nature, even before they born. That makes us superior in Earth magic. You can feel the pulse of it when you go to the woods. The magic surrounds you, fills you and you're spell bound of its beauty for the rest of your life."

"Is this poetry session finished?" Draco asked, frustrated.

"Sure it is," Mike said and leaned in, whispering something into Draco's ear. Harry watched how Draco smirked and nodded at Mike.

"So sorry to leave you like this, but Draco and I have to go. It was a pleasure to speak with you, Harry. May I call you Harry?" Mike asked.

"Of course and it really was my pleasure." Harry stood up, shaking hands with Mike.

After they had left Harry sat down, sighing. How am I ever going to get Draco look at me the same way he looks at Mike?

~*****~

"Malfoy." Harry stopped tapping his fingers against the desk, which he had been doing for the past hour, seeing that it didn't bother Draco at all.

"Yes," Draco asked, writing their last mission's report.

"We have to talk about what happened in the bathroom."

"There's nothing to talk about," Draco answered shortly.

"Why do you act like this?"

"Act like what?" Draco asked, not looking up from his work.

"First you kiss me and then you push me away."

"Let's get this straight. You kissed me not the other way around."

Harry sighed. "You kissed me when you thought I was asleep."

"What a wonderful dreams you have, Potter. I'm honoured to be in them," Draco sneered.

"Draco, honestly. I'm getting tired of this game you are playing."

"Game! You're the one who's been sleeping with co-workers!" Draco shouted, exiting the room.

Harry ran his hand through his hair. "Oh boy, that didn't go well."

How dare he! Draco stormed through the main corridor towards the lounge. He collapsed on one of the couches in the lounge. What do I do? I shouldn't have left him there. I'm acting like a teenager again. I have to calm down and really have a serious conversation with him. God, I hate him.

"What did you say to him this time?"

Harry turned around, seeing Tom standing at the door. "It's none of your business," Harry answered coldly.

"Oh, come on, Potter. You know I'm Draco's friend." Tom closed the door, locking it. "Everything you say will stay inside these walls. I swear by Merlin."

Harry bit his lower lip. He had wanted to talk with somebody about this, and now Tom presented him a chance finally to say what he thought. Shrugging once, he said, "He kissed me while he thought I was sleeping, then I kissed him a few days ago. He seemed to be fine with it at first, but then he's been avoiding me. I saw him kissing Mike and they are presumably dating."

"I've talked with Draco, but he never said anything, although, he seemed to be troubled," Tom said. "Mike is his old friend. They have a history together, but it was nothing serious."

"Are you sure?" Harry's brow furrowed with concern.

"He said himself that Mike is an ex-lover, but nothing else. If you really want him, you have to make him realise that you are serious about him. He's still very insecure after all these years," Tom said, noticing Harry looked confused by his words. "I gather that he hasn't told you what happened to him and made him the person he is today? That is for Draco to tell and I'm sure he will tell you when he is ready."

Harry nodded.

"Remember that he has been through horrors that still haunt him, haven't we all? He has told me only few things about his past and I respect him too much to use them against him," Tom said seriously.

Harry shook his head. "Tom, I didn't expect to see the day when you keep a secret. You really love him, don't you?"

"We have known each other only a short time, but he's become a very dear friend of mine. I would never hurt him."

"That means a lot to Draco. I'm happy that he has a friend like you, Tom," Harry said and pulled Tom into a hug.

"Stop molesting me, Potter!" Tom started laughing, breaking the embrace.

"Only if you make me." He winked at Tom.

"I can't see what Draco sees in you." Tom sighed.

Harry smiled at Tom, stepping away from him.

"Don't tell Draco what I said," Tom said, unlocking the door.

"Of course I won't." Harry got a brief smile from Tom before he stepped out of the office.
