harry and draco are roommates
but they’re pretty cool with each other ever since draco stopped being a downright asshole
but harry would rather live with draco than anyone else because hermione and ron are always snogging and everybody else would try to sell his shit for money. and draco really needed a place to live.
anyways, draco is gay. everybody knows this. The Prophet made a big fucking deal when they saw him kissing a muggle man. and draco wasn’t even able to come out himself.
he was terrified.. he knew his dad wasn’t going to accept him.. but he still hoped.. anyways when draco woke up the next morning it was to his dad taking all his shit out of his room.
“draco, i cannot have a faggot for a son. i cant have anybody adding more shame to this family.”
draco looked at his mother who was crying and she looked at him a certain way, trying to say sorry for not being able to stop lucius.
so draco just looked at his dad, smiled and said “fuck you for not accepting me. you’re an asshole.”
and lucius just looked shocked... like he was s h o o k
draco put on a pair of jeans and a shirt , grabbed the rest of his stuff and walked out of the house.
he called pansy and asked if he could stay with her but she apologized and said no because she’s out of the country and there’s no spare key.
so draco just sighed. and thought i’m fucked
and then draco had an idea.. a stupid one, but an idea nonetheless.
so he apparated to harry’s house, grimauld place.
he knocked on the door and prayed that harry would let him in.
harry opens the door and is shocked to see draco.
“potter, i’m sorry. i don’t mean to barge in like this but i don’t have anywhere else to go. can i please stay here? I know it’s a lot to ask, but at the moment i’m homeless and broke.. so please?”
harry feels horrible so he just nods and opens the door wider.
ANYWAYS (i’ll write another hc abt this if this gets enough notes)
so harry and draco stay roommates.
at first draco never brought anybody home and harry was happy with that.
then harry started bringing people.
but soon draco found one person to keep coming over..
so the guy draco’s dating comes over all the time.
harry starts getting angry as hell
but he doesn’t know why ???? he’s bi soo it’s not because he’s homophobic ????
but then he starts to panic because now he’s thinking it could be homophobia (!!!!)
because how tf could he be homophobic if he’s bi too ? it just doesn’t make sense to him
he rants to hermione about it but she wasn’t of any help.
she just gave him a pitying look and an exhasperated sigh
and when he asked why she was doing that , she facepalmed
“this is something you need to figure out yourself, harry”
then one morning around like 11 AM , harry goes into the kitchen to see draco making coffee and breakfast
and seeing draco act so domestic makes harry gasp and widen his eyes in realization
and draco looks at him when he heard the gasp and just rolled his eyes and smiled tentatively.
“yes i cook, i’m not completely inept” draco huffs out with a teasing glint in his eyes.
harry laughs a little, “no it’s not that, i just realized something insane.”
and draco looks at him with a curious face
when harry starts to explain “i li—“ the guy draco’s been seeing steps into the kitchen and says good morning while kissing draco on the lips.
and harry, harry’s just gutted.
because how could he forget draco has a boyfriend?
how could he forget draco does not feel the same way?
so draco is distracted with his boyfriend and harry just slips out of the kitchen and walks out the flat.
he walks around for about 5 hours and decides that he’s just not gonna tell draco.
he goes back to the flat and thankfully draco’s boyfriend left.
but apparently so did draco.
harry’s heart clenched at the fact that they’re probably together.
he just goes to his room and lies down.
he falls asleep and wakes up when there’s a knock on his door.
and when she sees him, she sends him a look of understanding.
she knew he finally figure it out.
“it hurts ‘mione. he’s in love with someone else. and i’ve been too stupid to realize i’m in love with him.”
“i know, love. i know. but from the way he looks at you, id say you’re wrong about the being in love with someone else part. you can always pretend to be in love with someone, harry.. but nobody will ever be good enough at pretending they aren’t in love with somebody”
harry looked at her and scoffed, “you mean the way draco looks at his boyfriend?”
hermione sighs, “i’m sorry.. i wish i could help.”
harry just nods and hugs her.. he really needed one of her hugs.
anyways by the time hermione leaves it’s already like 9 PM
so he just goes back to sleep
because man, dealing with emotions is tiring
anyways so time goes on, harry tries to avoid draco to get over his feelings and to be honest they just went back to the way they were before
but draco starts to notice that harry leaves the room when he enters, harry tries to be the first one out the door in the morning and that last one in the door at night.
because he thought that they were over the stupid enemy bullshit and the avoiding each other awkward stage of their friendship
draco has known for a while of his feelings for harry.. but he thought dating someone else would make them go away.. quite frankly the relationship just made them get stronger.
anyways draco’s boyfriend keeps coming over. every day.
and draco barely comes out of his room unless it’s to go to work or to shower.
so harry, poor ol’ oblivious harry, knocks on his door one night when draco was home.
a quiet “come in” was heard so harry opened the door and went inside
“what happened? are you okay? where’s your boyfriend?” harry asked
“we broke up and i’m kind of okay.” draco answered.
“why’d you guys break up?” harry asked, calmly, but inside he was about to start jumping up and down.. but at the same time he felt bad because this is obviously a hard moment for draco.
“i broke up with him because i realized that my feelings for someone else just never went away” draco replied, looking into harry’s eyes.
harry’s heart skipped a beat
“and if you don’t mind me asking, who is that someone?” harry questioned.
“i don’t think he feels the same.. so i don’t want to say.”
harry rolled his eyes, “bullshit, you know damn well he feels the same, but okay.”
draco giggles a bit. “yeah you’re right. i’m in love with you, harry. and i’m really hoping you’re in love with me too..” draco trailed off
“of course i am, you complete and utter prat. i’m sorry i didn’t realize it before..”
draco just smiled and pulled harry in for a kiss
right before their lips met, draco whispers, “it’s okay , i always knew you were an oblivious little git anyways” and smashed his lips on to harry.
and harry was too consumed in the warmth and fireworks he felt to come up with a good answer.
( and if harry finds out that draco eavesdropped on his and hermione’s conversation in a ploy set up by her, well let’s just say.. he wouldn’t mention it for a loooongg time ;))
and they both lived the happy lives they deserve :)
