“Harry,” Hermione says, staring.
“Mate. Anything you want to tell us?”
Harry pinches the bridge of his nose. “Not really, no.”
The sounds of the party can be heard from the other side of Grimmauld Place, and Harry hopes they can just go back to it and completely ignore the dozens of portraits of Malfoy all over his studio. For a wistful moment, he wonders if he can Obliviate his best friends and get away with it.
“Is this the moment we find out you’ve been pining for the git since Fifth Year?” Ron asks, distressed.
“Pining for whom?” a voice drawls from just outside the room, and they all freeze.
Harry looks up to find that Malfoy has stilled on the threshold, eyes wide. Well, fuck.
“Good luck,” Hermione whispers, squeezing Harry’s shoulder before both she and Ron scamper out of the room, leaving Harry alone with Malfoy.
Embarrassment washes over Harry. How creeped out is Malfoy right now? Harry wonders if he can Obliviate him, too.
“I – I paint,” Harry says, swallowing, hoping that explains things.
“Since when?” Malfoy asks, a bit breathless. Then he seems to decide he doesn’t need to know, because he’s crossing the room in three quick steps and he’s suddenly so close that Harry can’t breathe.
“Am I misreading this?”
Harry lets out a noise and shakes his head.
“Good.” Malfoy says, sliding a hand up the nape of Harry’s neck. He tilts Harry’s head forward and presses a kiss on his lips.
