Ghosts ✔️

Chapter 49

{A/N: Hi besties, happy July! I hope everyone who celebrates pride month had a wonderful June, and you're still valid and have the right to celebrate every day 😌

I'm thinking the story will be done around chapter 60 perhaps? I have all of my ideas planned for the end, but I haven't actually written them yet. Knowing me it could be longer because I start I don't know how to stop. Just wanted to give a quick update!}

The day to meet with McGonagall was finally here. It was 10am, and Harry could not sit still any longer. When he apparated to Draco's, his hair was still damp.

"Good morning Harry. We were just finishing up a late breakfast. I'll fix you a plate."

Draco rushed to his feet once he saw Harry.

"Oh thank Salazar you showed up early. I'm going out of my mind here."

"You're not the only one."

"Both of you, eat", Narcissa chided.

Sharing a look, they sat down and tucked into breakfast.

"Would you join us for dinner tonight Harry?"

"I would love to, thank you Narcissa."

"Wonderful. I want to hear how both of your meetings went once you return."

"Hopefully well. I've gone over the worst case scenarios only a hundred times."

"So dramatic, just like your father."

"I had to get something from him I suppose. My sparkling personality and good looks clearly came from you."

Laughing lightly, Narcissa ruffled Draco's hair.

"Always the charmer, I've taught you well indeed. Go finish getting ready, I'll see you when you get back."

After saying goodbye to Narcissa, they made their way up to Draco's room, where he promptly collapsed onto his bed.

"What if I don't go?"

"Then you're going to continue torturing yourself as you worry about what you're missing", Harry replied, sitting down next to Draco.

Draco pulled Harry down next to him so they could cuddle.

"I hate when you're right. I need emotional support."

"We'll be okay."

"Will we though? What's going to happen to us at Hogwarts? Our relationship? You'll be with Weasley and Granger because you're Gryffindors and I'll be with Pansy and Blaise. We're not taking all of the same classes."

"I'm not going to forget about you. We don't know what's going to happen. We'll find out from McGonagall today and then we can figure everything out together okay Prince? Just take a deep breath."

"Okay Scarhead."

They laid there together for a few more minutes.

"Can we just go now?", Harry asked quietly. "I'd like to walk around a bit first."

"I love when you're thinking exactly the same thing as I am."

They finished getting ready in silence, both men mentally hyping themselves up.

"Potter?"

"Yeah Malfoy?"

"Are we telling her that we're friends?"

"Is it okay if we wait? I haven't told Ron and Hermione yet, and once McGonagall knows the whole school is going to know, and then it'll be all over the Prophet and I just cannot deal with that."
